According to witnesses, the rash of incidents occurred over a seven-week period and involved sightings of bright luminous aerial objects in airspace from the American Midwest to as far west as the Pacific. The Debrief has learned that several of the objects were reportedly observed performing unconventional tight-circling maneuvers, which pilots and others involved said defied simple explanation.
The objects, which have since garnered the nickname “Racetrack UAPs” for the descriptions of their odd circular flight paths, were first reported by researcher and television personality Ben Hansen on social media and his YouTube channel, where he has featured several videos detailing the pilot encounters.
While several of the incidents were reported to air traffic controllers, no official investigations are known to have taken place, although The Debrief has learned that the events were reported to at least one Federal Aviation Administration unit tasked with responding to potential threats to American airspace.
“There were giants on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown.” Genesis 6:4
One of the earliest known incidents in the recent spate of sightings occurred on August 18, 2022, involving a Gulfstream 650 private jet flow by former Navy F-18 pilot Mark Hulsey, along with a second pilot identifying himself only by his first name, “Keith,” while traveling between Florida and Hawaii. Passing over Los Angeles, the pilots observed between 4 and 7 luminous objects at an estimated 5000 to 10,000 feet above them performing odd, circular maneuvers.
Los Angeles Air Route Traffic Control Center (ARTCC) was contacted to determine whether the objects represented potentially conflicting traffic, although radar controllers at the facility had been unable to detect any primary targets operating near their aircraft at that time. The two pilots watched as ATC personnel attempted to paint the objects on their scopes as the UAPs maintained their peculiar, revolving flight paths above them.
Nearby, an American Airlines flight passing through the area also reported seeing the objects over the radio. Later, the Gulfstream pilots learned that calls were made to the Los Angeles ARTCC by at least two more airlines that saw the objects. Neither of the principal witnesses believed that the objects they observed were any kind of conventional aircraft, based on their odd maneuvering and the speed they exhibited.

That astronomical task, which was stated in the plainest of terms, would be completed only 14 days later, eight years after President John F. Kennedy set the goal to send astronauts to the moon and bring them back safely before the end of the decade.
As many as 600 million people watched worldwide, in some cases clamoring for a glimpse in a department store display window, as Neil Armstrong descended the ladder of the Eagle and became the first human being to touch the powdery surface of the moon. Buzz Aldrin, close behind, was the second.
But before Armstrong and Aldrin touched down on a dusty, rocky volcanic surface 240,000 miles from home, they traversed a more familiar dusty, rocky volcanic surface for practice: Arizona.
Arizona scientists and educational institutions have since assisted with several NASA missions, and as science continues to peel back the layers of the cosmos, Arizona’s involvement in these projects only seems to deepen.
“We’re (ASU) pretty much covered throughout the solar system,” said David Williams, deputy lead for the imager and co-investigator with the science team of NASA’s Psyche mission and associate research professor with ASU’s School of Earth and Space Exploration.
The Psyche mission is a journey to an asteroid that orbits the sun between Mars and Jupiter. Williams also was involved with the New Horizons mission to geologically map Pluto and the Cassini mission to map Titan, one of Saturn’s moons.
For Jim Bell, deputy principal investigator and camera investigation lead with Psyche and professor with ASU’s School of Earth and Space Exploration, the might of modern space technology makes the first Apollo mission almost unbelievable.
“They went to the moon with the computational power of a key FOB for your car,” Bell said. “Everything has changed. So it’s actually incredible that they did that in the late ‘60s and early ‘70s without people getting killed.”
In the 50 years since Apollo 11, humanity has extended its reach over 13 billion miles from Earth, almost 57,000 times farther than the Apollo 11 crew traveled. Scientists discovered the first exoplanet in 1995, and have confirmed the existence of more than 2,000 more since then.
Bell said the mapping work done by robotic missions like the 1966-67 lunar orbiters is what made the Apollo journeys possible. Those early robotic explorers also set the groundwork for such projects as Psyche, which seeks to map and collect data about the asteroid’s unique geology and formation.
The earth at Cinder Lake Crater Field in Flagstaff once was pocked with craters formed by dynamite blasts, meant to simulate the moon’s terrain. There, Apollo astronauts from multiple missions practiced lunar exploration from the comfort of their home planet. Many of the craters have since been worn down or filled in through natural weathering and use of the field as a recreation site.
Astronauts also practiced in Sunset Crater, Meteor Crater and Hopi Buttes Volcanic Field. One group took a two-day hike to the base of the Grand Canyon to practice studying an area’s geology.
The astronauts and NASA scientists who visited Arizona were assisted by Gene Shoemaker, a Flagstaff geologist who is considered the “founder of astrogeology.” He founded the Field Center in Flagstaff along with the U.S. Geological Survey’s Branch of Astrogeology.
A number of major Arizona institutions boast current and past staff members who had a hand in the Apollo missions.
Similarly, General Dynamics Mission Systems, a Scottsdale-based company, also built the radio transponders used in pre-Apollo missions and were responsible for broadcasting Armstrong’s iconic first steps on the moon.
The rock and dust samples collected by Apollo 11 were studied extensively by Carleton Moore, who founded Arizona State University’s Center for Meteorite Studies in 1961, and served as its first director. Ronald Greeley, a regents’ professor of planetary geology at ASU, helped map lunar landing sites and train astronauts.
University of Arizona’s Lunar and Planetary Laboratory was founded in 1960 by Gerard Kuiper, the “father of modern planetary science.” Kuiper conducted research with fellow UofA professor Ewen Whitaker involving the moon’s geography and was involved in robotic lunar explorations that paved the way for the Apollo 11 moonwalk.No tags for this post. | aerospace |

The flight to Porto, Portugal, was delayed initially for three hours and passengers were not allowed to leave the plane because the building to the airport terminal was closed.
Many passengers decided they had had enough and made the calls to Essex Police. They were eventually let off the plane at 3.45am.
But unfortunately their ordeal wasn’t over, as they were then kept waiting on the plane for another two hours after re-boarding at 6am.
In total the hapless passengers were delayed for a total of 11 hours from the initial departure time of 8.30pm.
Ryanair has since apologised to the passengers, blaming the terminal operators for the problem.
An official Ryanair statement said: “The captain switched on the aircraft’s air conditioning while waiting for Swissport staff to arrive and the cabin crew provided water to passengers.
“When Swissport failed to arrive the captain requested the police to let the passengers into the locked terminal.
“The police subsequently arrived and allowed the passengers into the terminal. Passengers were then provided with refreshment vouchers on Ryanair’s instructions.”
Swissport added: “We regret any delay to passengers and to Ryanair. However, in extreme circumstances, our staff worked tirelessly to ensure that diverted flights were dealt with as soon as possible.
“We are disappointed that even under these extreme conditions we fell short of our usual high standards.”

Carbon fiber is 10 times stronger than steel while only a quarter as heavy. Japanese companies lead in this field, with Toray, Teijin and Mitsubishi Chemical Holdings controlling roughly 60% of the global market combined. They supply carbon fiber-reinforced plastic to manufacturers of aircraft parts.
Toray specializes in thermosetting materials, which harden when heat is applied. The chemical company developed a new composite material that shrinks production times by 20% to 30%. Toray's carbon fiber is used in the wings and fuselage of Boeing's 787 jetliner, but the lengthy production time has limited the Japanese company to supplying material for only about 10 aircraft a month.
Toray is also focusing on thermoplastic materials, which become soft when heat is applied, making them easier to process into parts. The company gained the ability to churn out such products in large quantities after acquiring Dutch player TenCate Advanced Composites in 2018.
Teijin has developed a thermosetting material better suited for mass production, with deliveries to a major European aircraft manufacturer set to begin as early as next year. The company will start supplying a thermoplastic material for Boeing's next-generation aircraft by 2021 as well. It aims to triple annual sales of aircraft-related carbon fiber products to about 100 billion yen ($920 million) by 2030.
Wide adoption of these new materials would slash the cost of manufacturing carbon fiber parts for aircraft. Carbon fiber is used mainly in midsize and large jetliners from Boeing and Airbus, but the new low-cost products likely would expand the market to small jetliners and business jets.
Demand for carbon fiber is expected to continue rising, thanks partly to the growth of budget airlines. The market for carbon fiber aircraft parts is projected to increase 150% from the 2018 level by 2030, research company Fuji Keizai says. | aerospace |

The Clifton airfield was first established on 13th March 1932 when John Bange first flew his own designed and built primary Zogling Glider “Azure Star” and established the “Aviadell Gliding Club", which operated until the 7th September 1948.
The airfield continued to operate post war for aircraft and the first permanently based general aviation aircraft was the ex Sir Reginald Ansett 1936 vintage Porterfield aircraft that arrived at the airfield on the 8th April 1955.
The Darling Downs Sport Aircraft Ass. Inc. made Clifton their “home airfield” in about 1982, with a yearly Fly-In being conducted in March each year since then to commemorate the first flight of the glider.
In 2001 the small airfield was upgraded from 450 metres to 800 metres long allowing for larger aircraft. It was realigned and the approach was made safer.
On 14th December 2002 the Clifton airfield became the home of the newly formed Lone Eagle Flying School.
As well as flying school activity and fly ins, every 4 years the airfield also hosts a large Scout Jamboree. | aerospace |

NASA pays an amazingly low worth – a greenback – to have an organization make a single small assortment of moon filth on the company’s behalf.
Colorado-based start-up Lunar Outpost bid $1 and received a NASA contract to finish a mission beneath the company’s low-cost lunar useful resource assortment program introduced earlier this yr.
NASA desires to pay corporations for particular person collections of lunar regolith, or Moon soil, between 50 grams and 500 grams. The company explicitly outlined it is just paying corporations to gather materials and say the place NASA can discover it on the moon’s floor – to not develop the spacecraft or return the regolith to Earth.
Lunar Outpost is among the three corporations that NASA chosen on Thursday as successful bidders. The opposite two winners have been California-based Masten Area Programs, which proposed a $15,000 mission in 2023, and Tokyo-based ispace, which proposed a pair of $5,000 missions in 2022 and 2023.
“The businesses will accumulate the samples after which present us with visible proof and different information that they have been collected, after which possession will switch and we are going to then accumulate these samples,” NASA performing affiliate administrator Mike Gold informed reporters in a press convention. “The target [of these collection missions] is twofold: There may be necessary coverage and precedent that is being set, each relative to the utilization of house sources, and the enlargement of the private and non-private partnerships past Earth orbit to the moon.”
The company requested for bids within the vary of $15,000 to $25,000 every, with a most restrict of $250,000. The awards for the three corporations will likely be paid in a 3 step course of: 10% of the funds on the time of the award, 10% when the corporate launches their assortment spacecraft, and 80% when NASAA verifies the corporate collected the fabric.
“Is NASA going to chop a examine for 10 cents [to Lunar Outpost]? The reply is sure,” NASA industrial spaceflight director Phil McAlister stated.
McAlister defined that Lunar Outpost was capable of bid $1 as a result of the corporate was already planning to gather lunar materials, so segregating some regolith for NASA “was actually trivial.”
Whereas NASA stated Lunar Outpost will fly on a mission by Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin to the moon’s south pole in 2023, Blue Origin informed CNBC that was inaccurate. Lunar Outpost CEO Justin Cyrus clarified, telling CNBC that his firm is in talks with Blue Origin and several other different corporations which might be working to fly to the moon.
“We’re suitable with quite a lot of landers … [but] we’ve got not made a last determination on any of those landers,” Cyrus stated. “Blue Origin makes a hell of an area car, there isn’t any doubt about, however we aren’t contractually obligated to make use of anyone particular lander.”
The company obtained 22 mission proposals from a minimum of 16 corporations, as some bid a number of occasions. Whereas NASA declined to specify which corporations submitted proposals that weren’t chosen, McAlister defined that some went over the company’s price or choice standards.
NASA’s announcement follows President Donald Trump’s government order earlier this yr that the U.S. would search additional worldwide assist for its coverage that permits non-public organizations to gather and use sources in house. Trump’s government order basically reaffirms a call made by Congress in 2015, which provides American people and firms “the correct to have interaction within the industrial exploration, restoration, and use of sources in outer house.”
Moreover, Thursday’s announcement comes as China conducts a lunar pattern assortment mission of its personal. At present the Chinese language Chang’e 5 lunar spacecraft is on its method again to Earth with samples from the moon, having launched on Nov. 24.

We are united by the thought that the next logical step in human civilization is not only to explore, but to evolve into a space-faring civilization.
SEDS UCSD was founded in 2012 by Deepak Atyam, Joshua Benedictos, Kenneth Benedictos, and Benjamin Liu. Together, they created Tri-D, the first 3D printed rocket engine by a student organization.
Continuously make progress in advancing the New Space Movement.
Guided by our passion and perspectives of the importance of space development, we believe we must keep progressing in contributing to the eventual colonization of space by designing, building, testing, and executing our projects that will advance space technology.
To push the boundaries of space technology, radical research is necessary. We are constantly looking into ways of improving the status quo, and we do this through the scientific method. This keeps our members safe, puts us on the cutting edge, and makes our work much more exhilarating.
We like to keep a lively atmosphere with tight bonds with our team. When encouragement, positive attitudes, and a liking for others exist in a friendly workplace, creativity blossoms, and progress is made. We must be able to maintain trust with the delivery of tasks and support each other when help is needed.
Every project is started with the goal of making news with its prestige as student work in the aerospace industry. It is important that our caliber of work draws attention to make a name for SEDS at UCSD in hopes to gain further company interest and possible sponsorships for or subsequent groundbreaking projects.
SEDS UCSD would like to thank the following people for their tremendous assistance in becoming UCSD’s premier student space group:
– Professor Abhishek Saha — Faculty Advisor
– Jonathan Jones — NASA Advisor
– Dan Hendricks — Assembly Advisor
– Paul Breed — Design Advisor

The Indian carrier grounded all international flights on Monday while its pilots protested outside its headquarters, demanding Prime Minister Narendra Modi intervene to solve the crisis. Many said they had not been paid for months.
According to India’s Economic Times, the airline has been running 35-40 domestic flights over the past few days. Its share price crashed by 20 per cent at the time of writing.
The newspaper also reported that its licence could be suspended unless it is able to shore up its flight numbers.
In a press statement this morning, Jet Airways said it was unable to pay for fuel and other service to keep flights going.
“Consequently, with immediate effect, Jet Airways is compelled to cancel all its international and domestic flights. The last flight will operate today.”
It added: “This decision has been taken after a painstaking evaluation of all alternatives that were made available to the company and after receiving guidance and advice on the same from its board of directors.
“Over the last several weeks and months, the company has tried every means possible to seek both interim and long-term funding. Unfortunately, despite its very best efforts, the airline has been left with no other choice today but to go ahead with a temporary suspension of flight operations.
“This has been a very difficult decision but without interim funding, the airline is simply unable to conduct flight operations in a manner that delivers to the very reasonable expectations of its guests, employees, partners and service providers.”
The airline said it was is engaged with lenders and the State Bank of India and was awaiting a final bid. The bidding process will end on 10 May.

Nasa unveiled an impression taken by its Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) that showed the web page of the spacecraft’s impression and involved particles field, with areas scattered more than almost two dozen locations spanning numerous kilometres.
In a statement, Nasa explained it experienced unveiled a mosaic image of the site on 26 September, inviting the community to search it for symptoms of the lander.
It included that a person named Shanmuga Subramanian contacted the LRO challenge with a favourable identification of debris – with the initial piece located about 750 metres north-west of the most important crash website.
Blasting off in July, emerging Asian large India had hoped with its Chandrayaan-2 (“moon car 2”) mission to grow to be just the fourth state immediately after the US, Russia and regional rival China to make a prosperous moon landing, and the to start with on the lunar south pole.
The major spacecraft, which continues to be in orbit all over the moon, dropped the unmanned lander Vikram for a descent that would acquire five times, but the probe went silent just two.1km earlier mentioned the floor.
Days just after the failed landing, the Indian Space Investigation Corporation reported it had positioned the lander, but had not been able to set up conversation. | aerospace |

Offensive aircraft can be considered either combination fighter/bombers, air superiority fighters, gunships, or bombers. Transports can also be used to move land units to a more favorable location. All types of aircrafts require fuel to function effectively, which limits how long and far away they can operate. Special anti-air units or buildings are necessary to counter attacking air units.
Tech level 1
Tech 1 Air Units
|Light Air Transport|
Air Scouts - Tiny, nimble, and very weak, T1 Air Scouts serve no purpose other than to collect intelligence on enemy positions. The Seraphim scout is unique with it's deathcam ability, allowing it to continue to provide intel for a short period after its death.
Interceptors - Lightly armed and armored anti-air aircraft, designed to intercept and destroy other aircraft. Despite their differences in appearance and armament, they are roughly equal in effectiveness.
Attack Bombers - Small bombers with light ordinance, excels at harassing ground forces or making early first strikes. They are vulnerable to Interceptors. Each faction's ordinance functions in different ways, and may be more useful in one situation than another (UEF and Cybran is especially useful against massed amounts of units because they drop a lot of bombs over a large area, while the Aeon and Seraphim ones are good at taking out single units like engineers and partly commanders because they deliver all their damage in a small area).
Light Air Transports - Relatively large, lightly armored air units made for carrying slow land units where they need to go. They vary in appearance and carrying capacity.
Light Gunship - A unit unique to the Cybran Nation, the Jester light gunship provides an excellent tool for early base defense.
- Cybran - Jester
Tech level 2
Tech 2 Air Unit
Fighter/Bombers - Capable of both air and ground attack, these versatile aircraft mount heavy AA weapons as well as bombs (or missiles in the case of the Cybran one).
Combat Fighter - The Aeon answer to the Fighter/Bomber, the Swift Wind provides very good AA at T2 for the Aeon faction.
- Aeon - Swift Wind
Torpedo Bombers - These bombers are anti-naval only, dropping ship-sinking torpedoes or depth charges.
Gunships - A formidable close air support solution, gunships hover around, attacking ground forces in total impunity. That is until the flak shows up...
Air Transports - Heavier and a lot more durable than T1 transports, these also carry more units and are armed to defend their cargo (do not rely too much on them to defend themselves though...).
Guided Missile - A unique Aeon craft, essentially a flying suicide weapon.
- Aeon - Mercy
Tech level 3
Tech 3 Air Units
Spy Planes - Extremely fast and agile aircraft with an Omni Sensor, designed to provide maximum intelligence coverage.
Air-Superiority Fighters - Powerful, swift AA aircraft, designed to engage air threats of any kind.
Strategic Bombers - Large, heavily armored bomber that drop devastating ordinance.
Heavy Gunships - The epitome of close-air support, heavy gunships combine heavy weaponry with high armor. The Aeon version is a special AA gunship capable of holding off even the best of air units.
Heavy Air Transport - This unique unit of the UEF provides the safest and most effective way to deliver important cargo/ a lot of cargo. The Continental is heavily armed, armored, and shielded to ensure maximum reliability and protection for it's cargo.
- UEF - Continental
Heavy Torpedo Bomber - The Aeon Solace, while not economically effective, can be useful when a more powerful and durable torpedo bomber is desired.
- Aeon - Solace
Tech 3 Air Units - Tech 3 air units are the most powerful air units any faction can build in an air factory. They have very high energy costs compared to T1 and T2 air units, but are well worth the extra cost. All 4 factions can build 3 types of T3 air units. These are:
- the spy plane is an advanced version of the tech 1 scout plane. It is faster and harder to shoot down then its tech 1 counterpart, and boasts radar and omni coverage.
- the Air-Superiority plane. It is designed to control the skies and shoot down any air threat.
- the 'Strategic Bomber. A common use of the strategic bomber is to destroy experimental units that are on the ground and above water with little resistance. They can also be used to bomb any land or sea targets. Note that only the UEF and Cybran bombers have light AA guns.
The UEF also has a very helpful t3 gunship which can hold 28 t1, 12 t2, and 6 t3. It has decent AA and air to ground capabilities as well as a protective shield.
The aeon also have a special unit, the Solace, t3 torpedo bomber. It can take out a t2 ship with one pass and can easily sink battle ships if they are in groups.
- Novax Defense Satellite - A highly capable, stationary experimental which sends out a satelite traveling in orbit. This satelite can not be shot down and will only be destroyed if the station is destroyed.
- Soul Ripper - A highly destructive, direct support experimental which can destroy entire T3 armies in a few moments or obliterate enemy AA trying to take it out.
- CZAR - The unit with the highest damage given by crashing in the game (10000/enough to destroy a stock Cybran Commander) and a highly destructive laser at it's center. Also features efficent AA.
- Ahwassa - Travels at a high speed and features a bomb capable of leveling entire bases. Also features good flak and good movement. | aerospace |

“Forget it,” they’d say, and “Aw, shucks, fellas,” and “He’s a swell egg.”
They arrived in Missoula in the middle of World War II, young men who would be pilots in the little-known Army Air Force College Training Detachment.
From March 1943 until a few weeks after D-Day in 1944 they bunked in Corbin Hall and other dorms on what was then the Montana State University campus in Missoula.
They studied math, physics, geography and physical education. They staged hops and musical extravaganzas, played intramural sports and, over at Hale Field, learned the rudiments of flying from Johnson Flying Service pilots.
Hundreds if not thousands cut their teeth in two-seat “cub yellow” Piper J-3’s, the primary aircraft of the Civilian Pilot Training Program and, later, Army Air Force programs that came to campuses and airfields in Montana and across the country.
For 57 years, Chuck Burruss has owned one of those J-3s – “N” number 41300.
“It’s as easy a plane to fly as you could ever learn in. They’re very good trainers, real forgiving, and they recover from a stall easy,” Burruss said the other day as he pushed open the doors to the hangar at his home northeast of Corvallis.
It won’t be here much longer.
As early as this week, the Piper Cub will join its brethren from the Johnson Flying fleet in the Museum of Mountain Flying at Missoula International Airport. Some of the others are on loan, but the museum, of which Burruss is a member, has long sought the J-3 for its own.
Thanks to generous donations and a grant, the board recently met the asking price of $15,000.
“The whole thing about buying this airplane is it was a Johnson plane. It came from Missoula. It’s historic, sort of an original J-3,” said museum board president Stan Cohen, who doggedly led efforts to obtain the plane.
It fits with the 20-year-old museum’s mission of collecting and displaying historic planes used by Johnson Flying Service since it was launched in 1926.
For now, the J-3 will fit under the wings of the hulking DC-3, the plane that transported smokejumpers to tragic deaths in the 1949 Mann Gulch fire north of Helena.
Cohen said a similar yellow Piper Cub that wasn’t a Johnson training plane will be returned to nearby Minuteman Aviation to make room.
Along with Burruss’ J-3 comes a scattering of log books and records, including the original forms completed when the plane came off the assembly line at the Piper Aircraft Corp. in Lock Haven, Pennsylvania.
It’s dated Dec. 4, 1941 – three days before the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor that plunged the United States into war.
Burruss had just turned 7 on that day and would soon become infatuated with the doings at the airport in his hometown of Hamilton.
Bernie Wryn was 5, and in only a couple of years would share a similar fascination with what was going on at Hale Field in Missoula, on the eastern edge of the Missoula County Fairgrounds.
“I’d pedal out there with my bicycle and you could see all these J-3s standing on their noses, one stacked right after another in a hangar,” said Wryn.
Also a member of the flying museum, Wryn has long assumed Burruss’ J-3 was one of the planes he saw at Hale Field during and after the war years. He can’t remember how many Piper J-3 Cubs the military used for pilot training there and sold to Bob Johnson for $1 apiece plus “other valuable considerations.”
You have free articles remaining.
“I’m going to say I saw certainly a half-dozen and maybe a dozen,” Wryn said.
Where N41300 flew between the time it came out of the factory in late 1941 and when it joined the Army Air Force’s fleet at Hale Field remains a riddle that Dick Komberec aims to solve.
A historian for the flying museum, Komberec said there’s a decent chance it arrived in the wake of tragedy.
In the early Friday morning of Sept. 10, 1943, two J-3s on training runs south of Missoula collided above Buckhouse Bridge. Four men died – instructor pilots Clyde Reynolds and Stanley Hillman of Missoula, and students Robert Schwenter of Detroit and William Richards of Tarrytown, New York.
The students were members of the Army Air Force’s 317th college training detachment. A news account said the accident was the first in the training of students by the Johnson school and the first in the history of Johnson Flying Service.
“They would have needed two replacement airplanes, or at least one,” Komberec pointed out. “They lost two that day and still had the program. I’m just guessing that’s maybe where this one came in.”
He plans on making a request for Federal Aviation Administration records that will detail the history of Burruss’ plane.
The 317th was apparently the first of two college training detachments in Missoula, activated in March of 1943 under the Army Air Force’s Western Training Center. Cohen's collection at Pictorial Histories Publishing includes an invitation to the 317th's Farewell Hop on Feb. 18, 1944.
The detachment was replaced by the 3074th Base Unit, which trained and schooled at the university and at Hale Field until the nationwide program was discontinued at the end of June 1944.
Burruss can trace his plane’s history after the war. Bob Schellinger, a legendary helicopter pilot for Johnson Flying Service and a charter inductee into the Museum of Mountain Flying’s hall of fame in 1995, bought it from Johnson. Then it belonged to Don Dowling, of the Dowling funeral home family in Hamilton.
Burruss figures he was 22 when he bought the plane from Dowling in 1956 or '57.
“It needed fixing, so I bought it, re-covered the wings, and learned to fly in it,” he said. “I didn’t know how to fly when I bought it.”
He courted his future wife, Jeanne Clark of Corvallis, in the Piper Cub.
How do you do something like that? Burruss was asked.
“You meet her up behind C Butte (east of Corvallis) up in the grainfields. She leaves her horse in the corral and she jumps in the plane and goes flying with you,” he said with a grin.
Aside from the initial re-covering of the wings and some chrome work when American Dental was in business in Missoula, Burruss hasn’t altered anything since he got N41300, he said.
He’s added a Cessna 180 to his stable, but until recently he flew the Piper Cub several times a year, taxiing it out of the barn and taking off and landing on his 1,000-foot grass runway that slopes down from the house, at one point at a 9-percent grade.
With all those takeoffs and landings, and all those hours in the air – into the Selway, up to the Flathead, over to Butte and Dillon – he never had an accident or even a close call, Burruss said.
“It’s fun to fly,” he said. “Just the thrill of getting up, the thrill of leaving the ground and climbing into the air, and then the thrill of landing when you get back.”
But now it’s time to get rid of the old plane. Burruss turned 80 in November.
“I’ve been playing around with it for years, but the fabric is old,” he said. “It needs re-covering. It shouldn’t be flown any more because of that, and I’m getting too old to re-cover an airplane again.” | aerospace |

For those students who wish to fly helicopters professionally, a commercial rating is the next phase. This stage of your training will build on skills learned during your private pilot training. You will also master more advanced maneuvers typically found in commercial operations like confined areas, slope landings and additional emergency procedures.
Commercial Helicopter Training Experience
Helicopter Instrument Rating For Commercial Pilots
Although not necessary for a commercial rating, an Instrument rating will allow a pilot to fly referencing his or her instruments, without the need to look outside. At HeliBlock we suggest working on your Instrument rating while you are building time for your commercial pilot certificate, accomplishing two goals at the same time. Because some helicopter operations may take place in inclement weather, many companies are now requiring an instrument rating be eligible for employment.
Like any other industry, aviation technology is always changing and at HeliBlock we adapt accordingly. The helicopters we use for Instrument training utilize the most up to date technology equipped with autopilot, full glass cockpits, G500’s, and G750’s giving the student the most effective training possible.

Looking down from the launcher doors onto the rocket cradle of an Atlas D ICBM. The Atlas missile system was designed and built in parallel to the Titan 1 ICBM’s in the early 1960s. However, their purpose wasn’t always quite so nefarious. Prior to their use as a weapons delivery system, the rockets were involved in the Gemini project that put the first Americans in space. For this reason, these missiles have a special interest to myself.
The massive network of missiles had an equally short lifespan, deployed from 1959 to 1965 when the rockets were decommissioned and stored for use as launch vehicles for satellites. | aerospace |

This is another area that you have been doing since your first flight and Chapter 2 of the Airplane Flying Handbook tells you exactly what is required by this part. So all you have to do is go over it with your CFI and log the ground time.
If you have been doing touch-and-goes you may have gotten into bad habits with flaps, trim, and cowl. The preferred procedure is to wait until you are clear of the runway before you mess with anything. This is especially important with tailwheel planes.
Clear of Runway and Stopped
Because of different configurations and equipment in various airplanes, the after-landing checklist within the AFM/POH must be used. Some of the items may include:
• Power—set to the AFM/POH values such as throttle 1,000 rpm, propeller full forward, mixture leaned.
• Fuel—may require switching tanks and fuel pumps switched off.
• Flaps—set to the retracted position.
• Cowl flaps—may be opened or closed depending on temperature conditions.
• Trim—reset to neutral or takeoff position.
• Lights—may be switched off if not needed, such as strobe lights.
• Avionics—may be switched off or to standby, such as the transponder and frequencies changed to contact ground control or Common Traffic Advisory Frequency (CTAF), as required.
I use BC-FLAGS: Boost Pump Off, Cowl Flaps Open, Flaps Up, Lean Aggressively, Contact Ground, and get some Air into the cockpit.
From the Airplane Flying Handbook:
A flight is not complete until the engine is shut down and the airplane is secured. A pilot should consider this an essential part of any flight.
Securing and Servicing
After engine shutdown and deplaning passengers, the pilot should accomplish a post-flight inspection. This includes a walk around to inspect the general condition of the aircraft. Inspect near and around the cowling for signs of oil or fuel streaks and around the oil breather for excessive oil discharge. Inspect under wings and other fuel tank locations for fuel stains. Inspect landing gear and tires for damage and brakes for any leaking hydraulic fluid. Inspect cowling inlets for obstructions.
Oil levels should be checked and quantities brought to AFM/ POH levels. Fuel should be added based on the immediate use of the airplane. If the airplane is going to be inactive, it is a good operating practice to fill the fuel tanks to prevent water condensation from forming inside the tank. If another flight is planned, the fuel tanks should be filled based on the flight planning requirements for that flight.
The aircraft should be hangared or tied down, flight controls secured, and security locks in place. The type of tie downs may vary significantly from chains to well-worn ropes. Chains are not flexible and as such should not be made taught as to allow the airplane some movement and prevent airframe structural damage. Tie down ropes are flexible and may be reasonably cinched to the airplane’s tie down rings. Consider utilizing pitot tube covers, cowling inlet covers, rudder gust locks, window sunscreens, and propeller security locks to further enhance the safety and security of the airplane.
Hangaring is not without hazards to the airplane. The pilot should ensure that enough space is allocated to the airplane so it is free from any impact to the hangar, another aircraft, or vehicle. The airplane should be inspected after hangaring to ensure that no damage was imparted on the airplane.
Pilots Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge Chapter 2:
Another important tool—overlooked by many pilots— is a good postflight analysis. When you have safely secured the airplane, take the time to review and analyze the flight as objectively as you can. Mistakes and judgment errors are inevitable; the most important thing is for you to recognize, analyze, and learn from them before your next flight.
I add a few items to my post-flight procedures. In planes with low-compression engines, I always do a runup before shutting down. That way if I didn’t lean enough on the flight I can clean the plugs before the next flight—rather than finding out in the runup area. I also refuel so I am ready to go for the next flight. I have a can of dollar store furniture polish that I use to get the bugs off of the wings and cowl. | aerospace |

Plage i T. Laśkiewicz “in Lublin began the design of a new military aircraft, which was supposed to replace the outdated by that time Potez XV and Potez XXV, produced by factories under license. The work was headed by the pilot, engineer and aircraft designer Jerzy Rudlicki (March 14, 1893 – August 18, 1977). He was the first in Poland to design a retractable landing gear, and also received a patent for a V-shaped tail unit, which is used on small aircraft to this day.
Tests of the Lublin R-VIII aircraft (the letter R in the aircraft designation means “Rudlitzki”) began in January 1928, and at the end of March 1928 the aircraft was raised into the air by a military pilot, Major Vaclav Makovsky. Unfortunately, it quickly became clear that the Farman engine, which was installed on the aircraft, was too weak and was abandoned.
In the summer of 1928, the second Lublin R-VIII aircraft with a Lauren-Dietrich engine was prepared for testing. A feature of this aircraft was the placement of the bomb load inside the aircraft body. Another feature is that for the first time on a Polish aircraft, oil-filled chassis shock absorbers were used. The first production aircraft was ready in April 1931.
Two versions of the aircraft were manufactured for the Polish Navy: Lublin R-VIII bis and Lublin R-VIII ter, mounted on short floats. The only difference was the installed engines. The Lublin R-VIII bis aircraft were powered by the Loren-Dietrich engine with a capacity of 650/740 hp. with a gearbox. On the aircraft of the Lublin R-VIII ter version – the Hispano-Suiza engine with a power of 478/560 hp.
These aircraft were used as scout aircraft. In 1933, float machines entered service with the Polish Navy, only four aircraft. They were numbered 801, 802, 803 and 804. The city of Puck became the main base of the seaplanes. The first aircraft, after testing and refinement, was handed over to the Navy on June 30, 1933. All aircraft were in the fleet until the outbreak of World War II and by that time they were outdated both morally and physically. All aircraft were part of the First Long-Range Scout Squadron in Putsk.
In September 1939, scouts took part in the defense of the Hel Spit. One of the planes took part in a raid on a military facility in Danzig. Soon, all Polish seaplanes were destroyed by German aircraft.
If you think about it, you begin to understand how strong the spirit of the Polish pilots was to fly out towards the enemy on such planes. I can’t even imagine it.

This model was built from the magazine “Maly Modelarz” # 3 for 1975, that is, 46 years ago. It’s scary to say … I didn’t really like the model right away. The color of the patterns in the magazine frankly “walked”, which is noticeable in the photo. The aircraft was clearly outdated in its design, since the same Messerschmitt Bf-109 was being designed at about the same time.
In short, I have big doubts on this score, supported by the lack of information on the Internet and the knowledge that the magazine’s employees could have made a mistake (see the article about the sea hunter “Vilchur”). Depth charges – yes, he did, but hardly a torpedo.
In general, this is all that remains of this model for today. | aerospace |

The FAA is looking into what caused the twin-engine turboprop to go down just outside of Dillingham Airfield near Honolulu. All 11 people on people on board were killed. It’s the worst civil aviation accident in the country since 2011.
The National Transportation Safety Board says the plane that crashed was the same one that was involved in a mid-air incident back in 2016 near San Francisco when 14 skydivers were forced to jump after the aircraft stalled and began to spin out of control. Pilot error was blamed for that incident, but now investigators are looking into whether the plane was properly inspected. (CBS News)
- It sounds like there very well may have been something wrong with the plane.
- Witnesses saw the plane crash and erupt in a ball of fire.
- In the plane’s previous incident, the pilot was eventually able to regain control and safely land the aircraft, but only after everyone safely jumped. | aerospace |

This year, all three intercontinental ballistic missile wings are posting women to the field on alert for International Women’s Day today. In addition, bases across the command will have will have all-female command post teams, maintenance teams, and helicopter and security forces crews as well.
“It is important for us to recognize the important role women play in our military today, and International Women’s Day is the perfect opportunity to do that,” said Col. Anita Feugate Opperman, 341st Missile Wing Commander. “When I came in 27 years ago, we would have barely been able to put together a couple of female crews, and now we are doing it across all three missile wings as well as some of our bomber wings as well. We want the American public to know that women directly support our mission every day.”
Women’s History Month commemorates the vital role of women in American history and its future. From manning the home front during the world wars to propelling suffragettes to demand the right to vote, women’s contributions in society has been, and is, constantly evolving.
Posting female crews has become an annual tradition at AFGSC as a way to recognize the contributions women make to the command and its mission. | aerospace |

The Air Force Space Command has devised a new framework for interstellar warfare called Space Enterprise Vision (SEV).
Though some aspects of the plan are classified, Air Force Space Command spokesman Col. John Dorrian says that SEV is “an all-encompassing look at all the things we need to do to create more resilience in our space forces, enhance them, and respond to threats.”
Dorrian says Vision is related to the Space Portfolio Review, a government-wide assessment of space-related national security issues that involve spy satellites.
“Most U.S. military space systems were not designed with threats in mind, and were built for long-term functionality and efficiency, with systems operating for decades in some cases,” said Gen. John Hyten, head of Air Force Space Command. – READ MORE | aerospace |

The satellite will help the search for oil by supplying a topographical and geographical preview of the area to be explored. From space it will be possible to identify potential crude oil- or gas-rich areas giving indications to guide the movements of technical teams.European communication equipment for the ATV and the Eneide mission reaches the ISS (ESA, 3 March 2005)
The ASI (Italian Space Agency) is working on this project using the constellations of Cosmo Sky med, such satellites as the ESA’s EnviSat, not to mention the satellites of the next generation that are also able to look deep below the earth’s surface.
The satellite will be able to describe the morphology of the terrain and will observe phenomena and aspects of the earth’s surface.
The project involves Western Geco and the ESA, who have also conducted satellite data collection plans for Algeria and Argentina. Using infrared technology it is possible to carry out a perfect search below the earth’s surface to reveal the status of sub-surface stress, which can indicate potential oil fields.
And the same is true for predicting earthquakes, approximately 4 or 5 hours in advance. A sophisticated detector for silicon-based particles will take care of this: called the Lazio- Sirad, it will be launched into orbit at the end of February.
The project comes from the SERMS laboratories (Department for the study of the effects of radiation on materials for space) at the University of Terni with the collaboration of a consortium for instrumentation design, comprising the Universities of Perugia, Roma II and Roma III and a group of research bodies such as Infin and small hi-tech industries.
Lazio-Sirad has the approval of the ESA and the Chinese have also shown a great deal of interest in it.
Lazio, the name of the region around Rome, is also an acronym for Low-Altitude Zone Ionising Observatory. This experiment will study the space radiation and magnetic environment inside the ISS, in particular with regard to the "light flashes" phenomenon. It will also assess the effectiveness of different shielding materials in reducing the radiation environment. This will be the first test in space of a sensor capable of high-accuracy monitoring of the short-term stability of the Van Allen belts, to study the possibility of earthquake-related precursor phenomena as was initially suggested by Russian scientists about two decades ago.ROBERTO VITTORI TO TAKE BUNNY TALISMAN TO ISS (Novosti, 2005.03.29)
ZVYOZDNY GORODOK, Moscow Region, March 29 (RIA Novosti) - Astronaut Roberto Vittori slated for a week-long mission on board the International Space Station (ISS) is going to take along a small bunny figurine and a Mon Lisa picture copy, the astronaut told the media at a news conference before blastoff.Satellite Survey Enhances Knowledge Of Tuscan Landslides (Spacedaily, Mar 31, 2005)
"I will take a tiny bunny in orbit. My wife gave it to me 18 years ago. It has always been with me. When I was a test pilot, it piggybacked with me to the ISS for the first time. It will do it again," Vittori said.
According to Sergei Krikalyov, commander of the 11th six-month mission, he will be sure to take with him a picture of his favorite movie actor, Kirill Lavrov.
"I met him and asked for a picture of his for me to take it to the ISS and bring it back, all the more so that he is turning 80 soon," Krikalyov said.
The 11th mission flight engineer, American John Phillips, said he was going to take his and his wife's wedding rings with him.

The experiment on the International Space Station that will chase earthquakesFöldrengés-előrejelzés az űrből (SG.hu, 2005.4.19)
Lazio-Sirad is ready to gather data. The experiment is installed on the International Space Station and its aim is to trace the slight variations of the so-called Van Allen belts that seem to occur before earthquakes.
At the same time the experiment will gather data that will make possible the development of techniques of protection from radiation for astronauts. The astronaut Roberto Vittori will carry out measures. He will leave for the International Space Station tomorrow April 15th and he will reach it after about 2 days. Lazio-Sirad was developed by the Infn sections and by the Universities of Perugia, Rome "Tor Vergata" and Rome Tre, in collaboration with the Infn National Laboratories of Frascati, the Serms University Laboratory of Terni, the MePhi Institute of Moscow, the Ferrari Bsn, Nergal and Airtec with the participation of Filas (Lazio Region).
Our planet is incessantly bombarded with a rain of cosmic rays, charged stable particles, such as protons and electrons. This flux is partly prevented by the Earth magnetic field, that traps a part of it out of atmosphere, to a height of hundred up to thousand kilometres. The distribution of these particles is not though homogeneous: they place themselves in areas called Van Allen belts, after the name of the American physicist that discovered their existence in 1958. In whole, the Van Allen belts behave like a huge antenna, sensitive to the slightest variation of the Earth magnetic field. The surprising aspect is that preliminary measures gathered by Russian and American researchers in more than 15 years and analyzed in details by Russian and Italian researchers, indicate that this natural antenna is able to reveal precursory phenomena of intense earthquakes four or five hours in advance. The Lazio-Sirad experiment is the first sensor planned with the aim of verifying such a hypothesis in the Space, and it is clear the interest of such researches in a country exposed to seismic risk like Italy.
In which way can the Earth's crust tensions reflect on the cosmic particles trapped out of atmosphere? It was observed, trough measures realized at earth, that from the area of a future earthquake, electromagnetic waves of different frequency are generated in the underground: among these, low-frequency waves can reach atmosphere, cross it and interact with the particles trapped in the Van Allen belts. In this way, it is possible to produce rapid variations of the charged particles flux: measuring these variations it would be possible to state the area in which the emission of low-frequency waves occurred and so state where an earthquake is taking place.
"In order to study the interaction between the Van Allen belts and geophysics phenomena as the seismic events, Lazio-Sirad uses sophisticated and innovative particles detectors based on the use of silica and scintillating plastics. The measure of the particles trapped in the Van Allen belts will be related to the magnetic field measurements made through a precision magnetometer, called Egle, part itself of Lazio-Sirad programme. Once the physics principal of the instrumentation and its functioning in orbit will be verified, it will possible to open way to new Earth monitoring methods using not expensive micro-satellites", explains Roberto Battiston, director of the Infn section in Perugia, who coordinated the realization of Lazio-Sirad project, in close collaboration with Piergiorgio Picozza, director of the Infn section of Roma Tor Vergata, and with Vittorio Sgrigna, physics professor at the University of Roma Tre and spokesman of the Egle magnetometer.
In this circumstance the experiment Sileye3/Alteino, brought on board of the International Space Station just by Roberto Vittori during his previous mission "Marco Polo", will be put back into service. "The experiment Sileye3/Alteino is particularly important to develop new materials and new technologies to protect man from bombing of cosmic particles during future lunar and interplanetary missions", explains Piergiorgio Picozza, who participated in Lazio-Sirad coordination and is also spokesman of the Sileye3/Alteino experiment.
"The Lazio-Sirad experiment has another important goal: to improve the study on the phenomenon of the light flashes, observed by the astronauts on board of the Mir and of the International Space Station, by analysing, in particular, the interaction between the different kinds of cosmic rays and the astronauts' visual apparatus", explains Marco Casolino of the Infn section of Roma Tor Vergata, spokesman for the Lazio-Sirad part dedicated to the study of the light flashes.
Lazio-Sirad will work at least for six months since the beginning of the operations of data acquisition. The first results of the data analysis are foreseen by the end of 2005. Lazio-Sirad has involved about 30 persons, among these: physicists, geophysicists, engineers and technicians from the different institutes that have participated. The instrument has been realized in a very short time (less than 6 months since the beginning of the project to the delivery to the Russian Space Agency on January the 25th) respecting all the complex security procedures, verification and space qualification required by the European Space Agency (Esa) and by the Russian Space Agency (Energia).
The project takes place in the context of the European mission Eneide, born from the collaboration between the Italian region Lazio, the Military Aeronautics, Alenia Spazio, the Chamber of Commerce of Rome, Esa, and Asi. The Eneide mission will start tomorrow April the 15th from the space polygon in Baikonur, in Kazakhistan, and it will travel on board of the Russian capsule Soyuz Tma, directed to the International Space Station. All the scientific experiments of Eneide mission will be managed from the control centre "Lazio user Centre", already working and settled in the Infn section of Roma Tor Vergata.

LAZIO, one of the first experiments to be activated by Roberto Vittori during the Eneide Mission, is a study into the high-energy radiation environment that characterises the environment in which the Space Station orbits the Earth.Deformation processes and accompanying mechanical and electromagnetic phenomena, for rocks and other materials, from the laboratory to the geophysical scale (EGU 2005)
Although the main source of high-energy radiation comes from cosmic rays within our own galaxy an important contribution also comes from the solar wind as well as from the charged particles that surround the Earth, such as electrons and protons, which are trapped in the Earth's magnetic field at altitudes of from 10 to 1000 km. These can be compared, for some aspects to an ocean.
LAZIO's most interesting and ambitious objective is based on the hypothesis put forward about 20 years ago by Russian scientists. This states that a high emission of low frequency electromagnetic waves are emitted from an area where an earthquake is about to occur. Should this prove correct, it would be possible to detect an earthquake several hours before it commences and identify the area where it will occur, by measuring the intensity and variations in the charged particles around the Earth.
"I need to underline that LAZIO is above all a technical demonstration," says Roberto Battiston, Director of the Perugia section of the Italian National Institute of Nuclear Physics and the Principal Investigator for LAZIO. "The data gathered during the mission will be analysed in the following months. We will try to find evidence of a connection between variations in the particle flux and seismic phenomena registered at ground stations during the same period."
The experiment started on Sunday at around 10:00 in the morning (CEST). As well as putting the experiments into operation, Vittori is also responsible for verifying that the instrument is working correctly and for substituting the memory cards used to record all the data. This will then be analysed on Earth during the coming months.
"We hope that the data will be sufficient to convince us that the algorithm to analyse the data is trustworthy," Battiston adds. "If we can demonstrate that our method is valid, then some time in the future we propose to launch a satellite dedicated to the study of this specific problem."

Two data cards, one still in orbit
This paper takes into consideration the method introduced by Aleksandrin et al. (2003) to carry out a deeper investigation on the subject. In this sense, a method for the temporal correlation between continental earthquakes with M>5.0 and anomalous particle bursts collected by the PET-SAMPEX satellite mission is critically investigated and presented here. Several constraints and cuts have been applied to data in order to exclude, from the correlation, charged particles collected inside the SAA region and/or during ionospheric and magnetospheric perturbations caused by non-seismic sources. After the data have been detrended by these effects, a short-term seismic precursor of ∼4 h is observed in the histogram of the time difference between the time occurrence of earthquakes and that of particle burst events. The best correlation is obtained only when considering high-energy electrons ( E>4 MeV ) with pitch angles near the loss cone. Such a result confirms previous ones but also points out the importance of an ad hoc method of analysis.
Thomas Reiter replaced the PCMCIA memory card in the LAZIO (Low Altitude Zone Ionization Observatory) experiment, which studies charged particle radiation on orbit. The accumulated data on the card were archived to a laptop for downlink to TsUP via OCA. [The Italian LAZIO payload, with the AST spectrometer, EGLE magnetometer, MEB main electronics box, etc, was set up and operated last year by VC8 guest cosmonaut Roberto Vittori in the DC-1.
The paper aims at giving a few methodological suggestions in deterministic earthquake prediction studies based on combined ground-based and space observations of earthquake precursors. Up to now what is lacking is the demonstration of a causal relationship with explained physical processes and looking for a correlation between data gathered simultaneously and continuously by space observations and ground-based measurements. Coordinated space and ground-based observations imply available test sites on the Earth surface to correlate ground data, collected by appropriate networks of instruments, with space ones detected on board of LEO satellites. At this purpose a new result reported in the paper is an original and specific space mission project (ESPERIA) and two instruments of its payload. The ESPERIA space project has been performed for the Italian Space Agency and three ESPERIA instruments (ARINA and LAZIO particle detectors, and EGLE search-coil magnetometer) have been built and tested in space. The EGLE experiment started last April 15, 2005 on board the ISS, within the ENEIDE mission. The launch of ARINA occurred on June 15, 2006, on board the RESURS DK-1 Russian LEO satellite. As an introduction and justification to these experiments the paper clarifies some basic concepts and critical methodological aspects concerning deterministic and statistic approaches and their use in earthquake prediction. We also take the liberty of giving the scientific community a few critical hints based on our personal experience in the field and propose a joint study devoted to earthquake prediction and warning.宇宙技術による防災に関するシンポジウム (2007.5.23)

EGLE is a wide frequency band search- coil magnetometer designed and built at the Roma Tre University. It has been installed onboard the ISS by the Italian astronaut Roberto Vittori on April 25, 2005 within the LAZIO- EGLE experiment carried out during the ENEIDE Soyuz mission. The scope of the experiment is to test EGLE in space and to investigate geomagnetic field variations. The main applications of EGLE are the study of electromagnetic environment inside the ISS, the correlation of magnetic field data with particle fluxes detected by LAZIO particle detector, and the monitoring of ionospheric perturbations possibly caused by Earth seismic activity. Since continuous electromagnetic field measurements on board the ISS are important for diverse space applications, a magnetometer with a suitable design is requested. Appropriate solutions for these applications, which have been adopted by EGLE, are in particular the use of 1- Wire technology and the possibility to detect by means of a search- coil magnetometer a large portion of the ULF frequency band, usually measured by flux- gate probes. To investigate the topside ionosphere electromagnetic environment and stability of Van Allen radiation belts in relation with seismic and anthropogenic electromagnetic emissions, a specific satellite mission (the ESPERIA project) has been designed for the Italian Space Agency (ASI), and up to now a few instruments of its payload have been built and tested in space. One of them is exactly the EGLE search- coil magnetometer. The first magnetic observations performed by this instrument reveal to be promising and demand for a further and deeper analysis based on a longer time series of data.
In recent times, ionospheric and magnetospheric perturbations constituted by radiation belt particle precipitations, variations of temperature and density of ionic and electronic components of ionospheric plasma as well as electric and magnetic field fluctuations have been detected on board of the LEO satellites and associated with earthquake preparation and occurrence. Several mechanisms have been suggested as justifying the seismo-electromagnetic phenomena observed in the upper lithosphere and in the topside ionosphere before, during and after an earthquake. Their propagation in these media has also been investigated, but physical knowledge of such processes is below standard. Consequently, coordinated space and ground-based observations based on data gathered simultaneously in space and at the Earth's surface are needed to investigate seismo-associated phenomena. To this end, the ESPERIA space mission project has been designed for the Italian Space Agency (ASI). To date, a few instruments of its payload have been built and tested in space. This paper reports on the justification, science background, and characteristics of the ESPERIA mission project as well as the description and testing of ESPERIA Instruments (ARINA and LAZIO-EGLE) in space.
Quali “tecnologie spaziali” sono state applicate, fino ad oggi, per conoscere e prevenire i terremoti?Study earthquakes from space (Le Scienze, Maggio 2009)
L’ASI nel 2001 ha effettuato uno studio di fattibilità per un piccolo satellite chiamato ESPERIA che poi non è mai stato realizzato. Nel 2005 l’astronauta Roberto Vittori ha portato in orbita uno strumento dimostrativo chiamato LAZIO - Sirad il cui obiettivo era quello di mettere alla prova la tecnologia relativa alla registrazione di instabilità delle cosiddette fasce di Van Allen (zone intorno al nostro pianeta in cui il campo magnetico intrappola particelle elementari di alta energia) che sembrano precedere il verificarsi dei terremoti. Proprio partendo dai progetti proposti dagli Italiani, l'agenzia spaziale Francese (CNES) ha messo in orbita nel 2006 un satellite DEMETER, il primo dedicato alla studio delle correlazioni dei fenomeni elettromagnetici nello spazio ed i terremoti: questo satellite opera da 3 anni e i suoi dati hanno permesso di mostrare come l'arrivo di alcuni terremoti sia preceduto da effetti elettromagnetici misurabili dallo spazio. Oggi, gli studi e le applicazioni spaziali nella conoscenza dei terremoti continuano e l’Agenzia spaziale cinese ha chiesto all’Italia di collaborare in un progetto internazionale basato su un satellite cinese CSES che potrebbe ospitare dei sensori sviluppati dai ricercatori italiani. L’Italia ha quindi in questo settore potenzialità importanti e competenze tecnologiche nel campo spaziale. La questione è capire se le agenzie di finanziamento e il governo sono interessati ad investire su questi studi in modo da poter migliorare la capacità di prevenzione di questi fenomeni per cercare di passare dalla fase di ricerca a quella dell' applicazione socialmente utile.
But space can also be observed phenomena precursors? The answer seems encouraging. The electromagnetic fields, for example, connect the earth's magnetosphere. they can be measured from space and their alterations can affect the stability of the bands of Van Allen causing the precipitation of elementary particles energy (protons, electrons). the ionosphere is observable in a systematic way with satellites ionosonde techniques available for decades. Not to mention the phenomena observed cloud regularly by meteorological satellites.PAMELA Physics - Workshop 2009 (May 11-12)
Italy has a ten-year tradition in the study seismic phenomena from space. Already in 2000 was proposed ASI Esperia, an Italian satellite but to be implemented in collaboration with the Russians, very experts in this field. Unfortunately not nothing came of it, but in 2004, France put in orbit DEMETER, a satellite in many ways similar to Esperia, that has allowed for the first time to study space in a systematic manner precursors seismic electromagnetic type.
China also is working on a dedicated satellite in these studies, CSES, on which plan to install also sensors based on Italian technology. The focus on the seismic studies from space therefore increasing. We are still in an exploratory phase, but only through research can we hope reaching applications. The stakes is so high that you should not let anything stone unturned.

2. I have read about "LAZIO-EAGLE" and "VSPLESK" experiments on ISS. Are they related to earthquake forecasting? Are they still on?Japanese - Italian Seminars on Cosmic Rays from the International Space Station (September 18-19)
Can earthquakes be foreseen? After Haiti, 2010, L’Aquila, 2009, Wenchuan, 2008, Tsunami, 2004, this is apparently the question of the century. Alas, the answer is no, not now, not yet. There are symptoms indeed of possible earthquakes occurring hours, days, even weeks before the event: low frequency electro magnetic waves, light effects, thermal and ground-water level variations, radon releases, ionosphere and magnetosphere alterations fill the scientific literature on earthquakes. So unpredictability is not absolute, the actual difficulty is the vast expanse of land that ought to be monitored. Precursors can be detected by sensors but spreading sensors on thousand of square miles is far too expensive and is not fail-proof as in the St. Andrew Fault case in California, USA.Seismic hazard evaluation, precursory phenomena and reliability of prediction (EGU2010)
Thanks to GPS satellites signals, ionosphere anomalies have been observed over regions that afterwards experienced an earthquake. During its 3,82 days of ‘life’ Radon releases enormous amounts of energy turning instantly to heat. In the 2004 Sumatra earthquake, thermal energy by Radon was eight times more powerful than the mechanical one. Those ample variations may alter atmosphere locally condensing clouds over the area, but not always, not systematically enough to be completely reliable symptoms of impending events. Important electric and magnetic perturbations have been recorded by satellites in space, an ideal location to monitor wide expanses of land. Earthquake frequency is high, two a day at least pass the Richter scale point 5 and precursors – even if non completely reliable - can be spotted from space: for instance electromagnetic fields can be measured and their alterations detected, ionosphere is under observation since decades and cloud formations are monitored around the clock by meteorological satellites and can be checked against other earthquake precursors. Being earthquake-prone Italy is particularly keen on early detection from space. Twenty years ago ASI started studying a satellite, Esperia, for monitoring the country. Esperia never left the drawing table, but in 2004 France launched its DEMETER, the firs satellite to detect electromagnetic and ionosphere quake precursors, followed by Russia contemplating a full constellation. In the 2005 Marco Polo mission a elementary particles technological demonstrator, LAZIO-Sirad, was carried to the ISS by Italian astronaut Roberto Vittori to study the Van Allen belt. China is joining the space earthquake spotters to monitor the particles falling from the Van Allen belt when hit by Earth-originated electromagnetic perturbations. Earthquakes prevision methods to spare human life losses and devastating material damages are the object of growing attention by the scientific world. It must be reminded that in this case knowledge is still far from being certain and much research is still needed. But stakes are too high to overlook any possible way of foreseeing earthquakes and prevent their terrible consequences

A Magnetic Spectrometer for Geophysics (Proceedings of the 13th ICATPP Conference)
A magnetic spectrometer has been designed for the China Seismological Experiment Satellite (CSES). The satellite, which includes instruments to measure the electromagnetic field, will record the field variations and the particle precipitation from the inner radiation belts, phenomena which have been observed in relation to strong earthquakes. Similar in conception to the AMS and PAMELA magnetic spectrometers, Aiglon represents a significant evolution with respect to the space instruments used for previous seismic studies.Earthquake prediction, a false problem (Scientificast)
Many nations are active in this field: the network of ground sensors (among the most developed is the Japanese) is added to the satellite. These included that of CNES, the French space agency, which launched in 2004 Demeter (Detection of Electro-Magnetic Emissions Transmitted from Earthquake Regions), a satellite devoted to the study of ionospheric disturbances caused by seismic and volcanic activity. The satellite was operational until 2010, and contained a number of detectors of electric fields, magnetic and radio waves of low frequency that may be issued in conjunction with or prior to a seismic event.11th Seminar: Earthquakes Early Warning from Space (INFN)
Even in Italy, these studies continue for several years to a precursor launched in 2005, Lazio-SIRAD followed by a proposal for an Italian satellite, Esperia. This unfortunately stopped at a preliminary study with the Italian Space Agency. This was followed by other projects are still being finalized, but we hope to return to it soon.
In any event, as these studies are fascinating, rather than asking how to predict earthquakes (and the answer would raise funds to research institutions in charge), we should ask why often in Italy you can not just build according to the antismiche standards but also those of normal engineering.

Roberto Battiston, Van Allen Belts instabilities as monitor for Earth seismicity
In 2011, the SPACEWEATHER experiment received the approval for the development and the realization of a series of detectors (mini-magnetic spectrometer, electric eld detector, magnetic field detector, low frequency e.m. wave detector), under the acronym CSES (Chinese Seismo-Electromagnetic Satellite), to study the fast variations of the fluxes of protons and electrons trapped in the radiation belts due to pertrbations caused by seismic events. In the Sections of Roma Tor Vergata and in the LNF an executive project to set up the sensors for the measurement of the electric field and of the first level data acquisition system has been carried out. Laboratory tests are in progress. The Section of Perugia is developing the design of the magnetic spectrometer and is carrying out laboratory tests as well. The mechanics of the experiment is being designed in Bologna. Roma Tor Vergata is also in charge of the general system of data acquisition, storage and telemetry of the italian portion of the experiment. Agreements between the Space Agencies ASI and CSNA have started and are in progress.
LIMADOU-CSES (relativa al premiale ASI-INFN) 20'Italia e Cina insieme per monitorare le attività sismiche dallo spazio
Speaker: Roberto Battiston (PG)
Studiare i fenomeni di natura elettromagnetica e la loro correlazione con l’attività geofisica per contribuire al monitoraggio dei terremoti dallo spazio è il principale obiettivo scientifico della missione CSES (China Seismo-Electromagnetic Satellite).HILITE 2013
Un importante protocollo d’intesa è stato sottoscritto oggi, presso l'Ambasciata Italiana a Pechino, dall’Agenzia Spaziale Italiana e dalla China National Space Administration (CNSA) per avviare una collaborazione in questo particolare settore di ricerca, che vede l’Italia all’avanguardia. Il satellite CSES ospiterà un payload italiano.
“L’accordo di oggi si muove in un terreno di ricerca fortemente innovativo - ha commentato a caldo il Presidente dell’ASI, Enrico Saggese - L’unione delle capacità scientifiche dell’agenzia italiana e cinese può portare a più di un risultato positivo”.
Sarà la CNSA a sviluppare, integrare e testare CSES, mentre il payload italiano sarà progettato e fornito dall’ASI attraverso la collaborazione con l’Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare. Il satellite avrà una vita operativa di cinque anni e il suo lancio è previsto per settembre 2016.
Studi recenti hanno sottolineato la possibile correlazione tra le emissioni elettromagnetiche connesse all’attività sismica della Terra e il verificarsi di perturbazioni nel plasma iono-magnetosferico.
Ricercatori italiani e cinesi collaborano regolarmente dal 2004 per sviluppare la strumentazione di bordo del satellite CSES. Sono coinvolti i gruppi di ricerca italiani dell’INFN, guidati dal Prof. Roberto Battiston dell’Università di Trento (INFN – TIFPA, Trento Institute for Fundamental Phisycs and Application) e cinesi del China Earthquake Administration (CEA).
“La partecipazione dell’Italia al progetto CSES - ha dichiarato Roberto Battiston, docente presso l’Università di Trento e presidente della Commissione Astroparticelle dell'INFN - prevede la realizzazione di un rivelatore di precisione per la misura degli elettroni che precipitano nell’atmosfera dalle fasce di Van Allen”.
“In questo modo - prosegue Battiston - potremo sottoporre a verifica scientifica rigorosa i meccanismi che collegano il nostro pianeta e le sue dinamiche interna al plasma che circonda la terra, con l’obiettivo di sviluppare nuove tecniche per il monitoraggio sismico dallo spazio”.
Il contributo tricolore alla missione CSES consiste in uno strumento innovativo per misurare le particelle energetiche che precipitano dalle fasce di Van Allen a seguito di disturbi elettromagnetici. In onore dell’esploratore italiano Matteo Ricci, che con il suo operato creò un ponte tra l’Occidente e la Cina, lo strumento sarà chiamato Li Madou, il nome con cui il gesuita era conosciuto in Cina. A realizzarlo sarà l’INFN, nell’ambito di una collaborazione che vede coinvolti i propri centri e le Università di Trento, Roma Tor Vergata, Perugia e Bologna.
Il satellite avrà a bordo un’ampia gamma di strumenti (magnetometri fluxgate e search-coil, rivelatori di particelle di alta energia, LP-RPA e ion drift meter) atti a rivelare congiuntamente perturbazioni di diversi parametri e grandezze fisiche.

Over the last 30 years, various studies have suggested a link between seismic activity and the precipitation of energetic electrons trapped in the Van Allen Belts, Battiston said.
The collaboration of ASI with the CNSA, sees in the forefront Professor Roberto Battiston, Department of Physics, University of Trento: "The participation of Italy in the CSES project involves the construction of a detector for precision measurement of electrons plunge into the atmosphere by the Van Allen belts. In this way we will be able to test rigorous scientific mechanisms that connect our planet and its internal dynamics of the plasma of elementary particles surrounding the earth, with the aim of developing new techniques for seismic monitoring from space. After the completion of the prototype Lazio-Sirad that Roberto Vittori flew to the ISS in 2005, ten years work in the preparation of this project with the Chinese colleagues. The funding obtained for the construction of the instrument LIMADOU, is a recognition for the TIFPA and the Department of Physics of Trento and rewards collaboration both nationally between INFN and ASI, both at the local level with the Fondazione Bruno Kessler.

The 2 corporations used the DSEI present right here to announce plans for an idea automobile exploring the potential of a battery-powered, vertical-takeoff-and-landing drone able to carrying shops, weapons, sensors and even a life raft for maritime rescue.
The automobile, hanging from the rafters of the Excel Centre above the BAE stand, was displayed carrying a Stingray torpedo, however officers emphasised one of many key attributes of the automobile was its skill to supply logistics assist in army and industrial purposes.
The 2 corporations stated they’re taking a look at an idea automobile referred to as the T-650 providing a high pace of over 140 km/h with a spread of over 30 km when carrying its full load functionality of 300kgs.
A take a look at mattress automobile is predicted to make its first flight from BAE’s Warton plane manufacturing and growth web site within the second half of subsequent yr. Dave Holmes, the superior initiatives, know-how and manufacturing director for BAE Techniques’ air sector, stated the primary autos may very well be within the fingers of shoppers by 2023.
It’s a probably a major transfer into the drone sector for BAE. The corporate spent thousands and thousands of Kilos creating varied drone designs just like the Mantis, gaining appreciable expertise alongside the best way in applied sciences akin to autonomous programs with out reaching industrial success.
The T-650 is just not the primary time BAE has dipped its toe within the unmanned air automobile sector in recent times.
In 2018 it struck a cope with British firm Prismatic to assist develop the photo voltaic electrical automobile referred to as the PHASA-35.
That top altitude, lengthy endurance automobile has the potential to fly for months conducting reconnaissance and different missions.
Now although firm has turned to vertical-take-off-and-landing autos, with executives reckoning a sustainably powered drone with a variety of purposes may very well be a sport changer.
Holmes declined to say whether or not the 2 corporations had already turned their minds to scaled-up variations of the T-650, however his response seems to recommend the best way forward is for greater machines.
“Our broad ambition is to ship army impact effectively whereas sustaining a low carbon footprint. That’s going to demand quite a lot of options so the area we’re exploring is our first transfer on the board,” stated Holmes.
“Bringing collectively Malloy’s confirmed monitor file of progressive know-how on this discipline, with our understanding of the army working surroundings and intensive engineering and programs integration expertise, will allow us to develop a sustainable and cost-effective answer for army and industrial prospects,” stated Holmes.
Malloy, based mostly close to London, first entered the drone sector by designing a hovering bike to interchange helicopters herding cattle in Australia.

| One way flight from Lisbon, Portugal to Frankfurt, Germany via Madrid, Spain. Flight was delayed by over an hour in Lisbon and once we boarded sat on the tarmac for 30 minutes which was blamed on "ATC Regulations", a term used more than once as an excuse (keeping in mind this was a relatively quiet Sunday morning/afternoon). The flight attendant at least handed out water as the cabin was extremely hot. Once we arrived into Madrid over an hour late I was relieved to see the gate for the next leg was right next door, not that it mattered as the flight was also delayed. We boarded around 30 minutes late and it was then the captain announced that yet again due to "ATC regulations" the flight was not allowed to take off for another one hour and fifteen minutes! He said the reason they boarded us was they hoped the situation would improve. Again, the cabin was around 40c however no water was offered as the passengers sweated it out. After 40 minutes the plane finally took off and then we watched the incredibly slow progress of the flight attendants to serve us some sort of refreshment. Despite having a glossy catalogue full of food when I asked about ordering any of it I was told these flights don't carry food as the flight was too short (at this stage I had been on the plane for over 2.5 hours with 1 hour to go). The flight landed in Frankfurt at 7pm, 1 hour and 20 minutes later than scheduled. I believe Air Europa have little or no concern for their passengers safety forcing them to sit in hot planes for extended periods of time because they have issues with their take off and landing slots at airports. I would not recommend flying with them. | aerospace |

But an airplane? A line must be drawn somewhere, and 30,000 feet in the air seems to be a good place to draw it. According to The Huffington Post, two pilots, two-co-pilots, and a flight attendant working for Aeromexico were suspended after it was discovered that they operated an aircraft while under the influence of alcohol.
There were two separate incidents, one in which three crew members (pilot, co-pilot, and flight attendant) flew from Puerto Vallarta to Mexico City, and the other on a flight scheduled to fly from Costa Rica to Mexico. The latter flight never took off and was canceled. In this article, it’s reported that the pilots who were flying 101 passengers between Costa Rica and Mexico were reported by cabin crew members on suspicion of drinking. Media reports out of Mexico are claiming that the two pilots partied 7 hours before the Costa Rica flight, a violation of civil aviation rules.

How common are pilots under the influence? Perhaps more than we’d care to know. We came across this forum post at the Professional Pilots Rumour Network. Referenced is an article from The Times of India that reported 57 pilots were found to be drunk between January 2009 and November 2010. One member, a professional pilot, stated that pilots in India are tested before almost every flight, whereas when he was working in the US, he was only tested six times in 19 years of flying. So perhaps they just catch more in India.
In any case, not the most comforting news. | aerospace |

WASHINGTON — Four astronauts riding a newly designed spacecraft from Elon Musk’s SpaceX docked with the International Space Station Monday night, in the first crewed mission on a privately built space capsule purchased by NASA.
SpaceX’s Crew Dragon capsule, dubbed Resilience by its crew of three Americans and one Japanese astronaut, docked at 11:01 p.m. EST (7:01 GMT), 27 hours after launching atop a Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral, Fla.
The space station, an orbital laboratory about 250 miles (400 km) above Earth, will be their home for the next six months. After that, another set of astronauts on a Crew Dragon capsule will replace them. That rotation will continue until Boeing joins the program with its own spacecraft late next year.
The Resilience crew includes Crew Dragon commander Mike Hopkins and two fellow NASA astronauts: mission pilot Victor Glover and physicist Shannon Walker. They are joined by Japanese astronaut Soichi Noguchi, making his third trip to space after previously flying on the U.S. shuttle in 2005 and Soyuz in 2009. | aerospace |

The Wyvern S.4 was the last piston driven aircraft produced by the British Westland company. It was physically larger than the Republic P-47 Thunderbolt and had a twin, contra-rotating propeller which gave it a unique appearance. This aircraft was produced in small numbers and as part of 830 and 831 squadrons took part in the Suez campaign in 1956. This model kit of the Wyvern S.4 (Early Version) includes the following: 1) Optional position speed brakes; 2) Folded wings and counter-rotating propeller; 3) Multi part canopy; 4) Armament including RATOG, 1000 lb. bombs, 60 lb. rockets and 550 lb. torpedo and 5) Auxilliary 90 gallon tip-tanks and centerline fuel tank.

Air accident investigators will try to find the source of the technical fault which led to the forced landing of the aircraft.
Four people were subsequently rescued, with a pilot's "skill factor" being praised as imperative to further injury being avoided. The plane was guided to a narrow beach, avoiding nearby turbines and the open water.
This incident is currently being investigated by a team of three inspectors, sent by the Department of Transport’s Air Accident Investigation Unit.
Having been working to secure the piece of aircraft submerged in the water yesterday, today they will work towards ascertaining the source of the technical fault.
The aircraft's fuel system and engines will be examined.
Just after 5pm yesterday evening, the French-registered Vulcanair P68 twin-engine aircraft encountered difficulties close to Carnsore Point.
The aircraft then landed on the beach at around 5-10pm.
The aircraft hit the area of soft sand, bedding down, before it moved violently forward nose first into the sand. The cockpit suffered severe structural damage.
The four people on board were two women in their 30s and two men in their 20s and 50s. They were all taken to hospital with non life threatening injuries.
Two coast guard helicopters were deployed along with Dunmore East RNLI and the local coast guard unit to help with the rescue. Gardaí, Rosslare Coast Guard unit also attended the incident, as did the National Ambulance Service.
Barry O'Connor, pilot of the rescue and rescue helicopter 117 commented that the aircraft was in the sand by the time they arrived.
"done a great job"
The pilot received huge praise from aviation sources, who said that he was faced with an "immediate threat".
The source said, “This pilot was faced with a serious technical issue which presented an immediate threat to the safety of the aircraft and the passengers".
“The aircraft was over water and the pilot was obviously faced with a problem that required getting the aircraft on the ground as quickly as possible. It doesn’t look like they had time to get to an airport".
“The pilot appears to have done a great job by avoiding coming down on the water, and also avoiding large wind turbines which are close to the beach".

The alloys of titanium have the highest strength-to-weight ratio of any structural metal, about 25% greater than the best alloys of aluminum or steel. Titanium alloys can be used at temperatures up to 500°C; compressor blades of aircraft turbines are made of them. They have unusually poor thermal and electrical conductivity and low expansion coefficients. The alloy Ti 6% Al 4% V is used in quantities that exceed those of all other titanium alloys combined. The data in this record describes it and similar alloys.

Is that a big deal? Yes, it is. One, it eliminates the need for a runway. The Lilium electric jet needs no more room than a helicopter. Any helipad will do. Second, traditional aircraft use a lot of their available power just to get off the ground. Once in the air, they can cruise quite efficiently.
Patrick Nathen, co-founder of Lilium, claims that the battery in its electric jet “consumes around 90 percent less energy than drone-style aircraft. That makes it possible for the aircraft to fly up to 180 miles with a maximum cruising speed 183 mph. “It’s the same battery that you can find in any Tesla,” Nathen says. “The concept is that we are lifting with our wings as soon as we progress into the air with velocity, which makes our airplane very efficient. Compared to other flights, we have extremely low power consumption.”
The craft is powered by 36 separate jet engines mounted on its 35 foot long wings. At take-off, 12 movable flaps are pointed downwards to provide vertical lift. Once airborne, the flaps gradually tilt into a horizontal position to provide less lift and more forward thrust. For now, the aircraft used in the company’s testing program are controlled remotely but Liliun says human pilots will be utilized in the near future.
A five passenger version is the ultimate goal. (The prototype seen in the video seats two.) From a safety perspective, the company says there will be parachutes on board and a “Flight Envelope Protection System” will prevent a human pilot from performing risky maneuvers or flying the aircraft beyond its safe limits.
Is the Lilium just another expensive plaything, a toy for wealthy people to use when they need to get to their executive jets without the hassle of urban traffic? Nathen says no. The company’s vision is for a sort of flying Uber service. Press the call button on your smart phone app, make your way to the nearest launch pad, and be whisked quickly from where you are to where you need to go. Nathen says a 55 minute trip from midtown Manhattan to JFK airport that costs about $55 becomes an easy 5 minute journey that costs about $6 using one of his company’s electric jets.
Nathen believes we are on the cusp of low cost, reliable air taxis thanks to improvements in battery technology and autonomous navigation systems. “We are right now at the magical point,” he says. “We have without a doubt started at the perfect time… This is why you can see a lot of different projects from all over the world.” Many other companies like Siemens and Jet Blue are developing electric aircraft.
Look at the graphic of a hypothetical electric jetport in the shadow of the Brooklyn Bridge. Some will remember similar images on the covers of Popular Science and Popular Mechanics back in the 50’s. After all this time, maybe the future is finally here.

have indicated in the past that the aircraft could
be available to India if the Indian Air Force
(IAF) opted for the F-16 Super Viper in its quest
for some 200 Multi Role Combat Aircraft (MRCAs)
but recently, the company made a presentation
to the Indian Navy without this condition.
Lockheed Martins Vice President for Business
Development Orville Prins told India Strategic
that a presentation about the aircraft was made
to the Indian Navy recently after it expressed
interest in the newer generation of aircraft for
its future carrier-based aircraft requirements.
The Indian Navy is buying 45 Mig 29Ks for the
Gorshkov, or INS Vikramaditya, which it will get
from Russia in 2012 and its first indigenous aircraft
carrier. But for its second indigenous carrier,
and possibly more in the future, the Navy is looking
for a newer generation of aircraft as the carrier
itself is likely to be bigger.
Although the best of the weapon systems in the
US are developed by private companies, the funding
for their research and development is provided
by the Government which exercises full control
on the resultant products and their sale to any
foreign country. ToT is a serious issue and in
most cases, technology, particularly source codes,
is not shared even with Washingtons best
allies in the West or East.
Lockheed Martin apparently made the presentation
to India after authorization by the US Department
of Defense (DOD), but Prins pointed out that the
F 35 could be sold only after clearance from the
US State Department, for which bilateral negotiations
between New Delhi and Washington would need to
be held once India expressed interest.
The US is steadily emerging as a new supplier
of sophisticated arms to India, which urgently
needs to replace and augment its mostly outdated
Soviet-vintage systems with high technology weapons
of the 21st century.
Beginning 2002, when an agreement for the sale
of 12 Raytheons artillery and short-range
missile tracker system, the AN/TPQ 37 Weapon Locating
Radars (WLRs) was signed, the US has supplied
systems worth nearly US $ 4 billion.
Its not much compared to what India still
spends on defence trade with Russia but it is
a significant beginning.
Over the last few weeks, the Indian Ministry
of Defence has sent firm orders, or Letters of
Request (LoR) for 10 C 17 Globemaster III strategic
lift aircraft for the Indian Air Force (IAF) and
145 M 777 ultra light howitzers the Indian Army
badly needs for its mountain operations.
The competing gun from Singapore Technologies
Kinetics (STK) lost out as the company was mired
in allegations of corruption in an Indian Ordnance
Factory Board (OFB) scam. (STK is among the half
a dozen Indian and international companies with
whom business has been put on hold pending Central
Bureau of Investigation (CBI) clearance; they
are not blacklisted as some have reported).
BAE Systems, primarily a British firm with commercial
and manufacturing interests in the US and elsewhere,
had not taken part in the tender for ultra light
guns initially, although it wanted to enter the
race later. Its absence in the commercial competition
process helped it win the requirement.
Systems developed the titanium alloy M777 in Britain
but manufactures it in the US, from where it has
been supplied extensively in the tough Afghan
mountainous terrain against the Taliban terrorists.
It is easily ferried by Boeings Chinook
helicopters, which are also being considered for
acquisition by the Indian Air Force (IAF).
BAE Systems also owns the Swedish Bofors, which
has changed many hands since the 1980s. It was
acquired by the Swedish Government, then sold
to the United Defense of USA, and finally landed
in the BAE lap.
In fact, as the US Administration had imposed
restrictions on the sale of military equipment
to India after the 1998 nuclear tests, President
Bill Clinton went out of the way in 2000 to allow
United Defense-Bofors an exception to sell its
guns to India if the Indian Army opted for them.
BAE is now in the race to sell upgraded versions
of Bofors as well as to modernize the 410 units
that the Indian Army had bought.
Allegations of corruption in the acquisition
of 15mm FH 77B guns (howitzers) notwithstanding,
the Bofors guns proved their worth in the 1999
Kargil War to evict the intruding Pakistani Army
from the heights it had infiltrated into and occupied.
India has also deployed this gun at the highest
battlefield in the world at Siachin. Ferrying
them to those daunting heights in parts and then
assembling them has been a tremendous job by itself
for the Army.
LORs for both the C 17 and M 777 have been issued
only in January 2010.
India has less than 20 IL 76 Soviet-supplied
Il-76 heavy lift or strategic lift aircraft, which
will mark 25 years of their induction in April
Although a fuel-guzzler, the IL 76 has served
the IAF well and still has a residual life of
10 to 15 years with some periodic modifications
as the IAF has utilized it carefully. Manufactured
in Uzbekistan, which was a part of the Soviet
Union, the IL 76 is now out of production and
most of its existing serviceable units have been
acquired by China.
There is no matching aircraft to replace the
IL 76, the closest being the C 17, although bigger
aircraft are available from both the US and Russia.
The C 17 has nearly double the capacity of an
IL 76, but according to Air Marshal Ashok Goel,
a veteran of IAFs transport fleet, full
load on an aircraft is never really carried as
it hinders its range and fuel capacity.
Unlike the IL 76 though, the C 17 can be refueled
midair for much longer flights, and needs only
two pilots and one loadmaster for operations,
that is half the crew of what the IL 76 requires
Despite its massive size, the C 17 can take off
and land on unpaved grassy fields like a football
ground at very steep angles, an important capability
in battle conditions. India Strategics
News Editor Nitin Luthra, who had the opportunity
to fly in the C 17 at the Paris Air Show, had
described its short takeoff capability as simply
Although India has placed a firm order for only
10 C 17s, with no options for now, Chief of Air
Staff Air Chief Marshal P V Naik had told India
Strategic that IAF was looking at 20 aircraft.
IAF had also placed an order for six C 130J Special
Operations aircraft with an option for six more
in 2008 with the US Lockheed Martin. A smaller
aircraft than the C 17, it is also highly capable
and can operate from small grassy fields to quickly
get away after loading or unloading. Lockheed
Martin has offered to transfer the manufacturing
facility to India if 40 or 50 aircraft are ordered
for military and civil use, particularly in the
mountainous north-east regions.
The Border Security Force (BSF) is also considering
to buy one or two C 130Js, albeit without some
specialized systems that the IAF needs.
The F 35 JSF is a Fifth Generation aircraft,
to be used by the US Air Force, Navy and Marines.
It will perhaps be the last manned aircraft by
that country before unmanned, high-powered long-range
drones and helicopters fully take over the skies
by the middle of this century.
The USAF is already conducting joint manned and
unmanned combat operations in Afghanistan with
Global Hawk and Reaper drones, clearly indicating
the gradual transition underway, and refining
the technology from actual, real-time warfare
The unmanned systems, controlled from airbases
in the US itself on the other side of the globe,
are both reconnaissance and armed, and their use
has increased in the recent years to neutralize
terrorists in the troubled mountainous region
on both sides of the Afghan-Pakistan border.
India has opted to buy drones from Israel, and
there is also effort underway to develop an indigenous
armed version, given the interest by IAF in this
regard. It will be interesting to see if the US,
which is the only country using drones in day
to day war, will share some technology with India.
The F 35 is a single-engine, single-seat stealth
aircraft, being developed with several foreign
partners to help reduce development and production
costs, and is still being tested for its varied
capabilities. It will be available in conventional
takeoff and landing mode as well as in short-take-off-and-vertical-landing
(STOVL) for carrier landings.
Thanks to the numbers, it could cost as low as
$ 50 million only per unit, or the price of a
modern Medium Multi Role Combat Aircraft (M-MRCA)
despite its highly advanced features.
The JSF 35B conducted its first STOVL propulsion
test in flight for the first time on Jan 7 at
the Naval Air Station (NAS) Patuxent River, and
it will be some time before it goes into production.
Its programme partner countries include Britain,
Italy, Netherlands, Canada, Turkey, Australia,
Norway, Denmark , Singapore and Israel, all of
whom would possibly supply some components, and
Whether India joins the production programme
or not is an open question, depending upon the
numbers required. The Indian Navy cannot have
a large requirement and the Indian Air Force is
already committed to buying the similar but perhaps
more expensive Fifth Generation Fighter Aircraft
(FGFA) to be jointly produced by Russias
Komsomolsk-on-Amur Aircraft Production Association
(KNAPPO) which produces SU 30 jets
and Indias HAL.
The Russians have done substantial work in this
regard, and hope to fly its single seat version
by 2015-16 while the IAF hopes to induct its two-seat
version by 2017. IAF wants the second seat missionised
for weapon operations for the co-pilot, a practice
that the Israelis have also opted for in their
China, which has been accused of stealing technology
by Russia, is also trying to develop a 5th generation
In any case, its a question of time when
the environment in the strategic Indian Ocean
region, and around India, is filled by the likes
of stealth and futuristic aircraft. Lockheed Martin
hopes to be around for that time, and, says Orville
Prins, we are making the offer well ahead
in that perspective.
However, the Americans had proved to be unreliable
in the 1960s when they made several promises for
equipment after the 1962 Chinese aggression on
India and did not fulfill them. Driven by its
Cold War strategies and regional military alliances
like SEATO and CENTO, the US always supplied the
best of its weapons to Pakistan, forcing India
to follow. For instance, Pakistan was the first
country in South Asia to get hi-tech weapons in
the 1980s when the US gave it F 16 warjets, Harpoon
anti-shipping missiles, P-3C Orion Maritime Surveillance
and Attack aircraft as well as Command, Control
and Communications and Intelligence (C3I) computers.
India had to follow with Mirage 2000 aircraft
from France and Mig 29s from the Soviet Union.
The geopolitical realities have perhaps changed
and the US is willing to offer some of its best
Indeed, the US has been steadily opening its
stable of sophisticated weapons to India. After
the sale of Raytheons WLRs, which was actually
the first combat system under the Foreign Military
Sales (FMS) received from the US after Indias
nuclear tests in 1974 and 1998, the US has also
sold eight highly advanced Boeing P8-I Multi-mission
Maritime Aircraft (MMA) to the Indian Navy to
patrol the Indian Ocean. The aircraft is still
under development, and significantly, will be
available to the Indian Navy nearly at the same
time as to the US Navy, which has paid for its
This was preceded by the transfer of an old amphibious
ship, USS Trenton, renamed INS Jalashwa, and its
six onboard Sikorsky utility helicopters at nominal
costs for the Indian Navy.
The P8-I is the most hi-tech system yet to be
acquired by India, and according to Boeings
Integrated Defense Systems India Head, Dr Vivek
Lall, its sale is unprecedented in
terms of US transfer of technology.
In August last year, another US arms major, Northrop
Grumman, also offered its futuristic Hawkeye 2-D
combat management aircraft to the Indian Navy.
This aircraft is also under development and it
India opts to buy it, then this system will also
be available to the Indian Navy nearly at the
same time as the US Navy.
P8-I deal is the biggest yet at $ 2.1 billion,
while the other major deal for C 130Js has been
placed at nearly $ one billion. The 145 M777 guns
are around S 650 million while the 10 C 17s could
be between $ 2.5 to 3 billion. IAF has also bought
three Boeing Business Jets for VIP travel worth
around $ 220 million.
The deal for the 10 C 17s, which was formally
announced by Boeing from Long Beach. California
on Jan 8, would be bigger than that of the P8-Is,
depending upon the configuration and requirements
of the Indian Air Force. No details are available.
Notably, Boeing and Lockheed Martin have also
fielded their respective F/A-18 Super Hornet and
F-16 Super Viper combat jets to India in the six-cornered
MRCA competition, but the US has also added other
sophisticated systems like the Lockheed Martins
Aegis shipboard anti-missile system, which had
been used two years ago to shoot down a satellite
in space with precision as part of an apparent
Orville Prins said that presentation on the Aegis
system had also been made to the Indian Navy and
the Ministry of Defence.
On offer are also some of the best precision
missiles and engagement systems from Raytheon,
which does not make any platforms but builds onboard
Sources say that it is also offering its latest
Airborne Standoff Radar (ASTOR), which is perhaps
the latest in Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) technology,
to India. The system has been fielded in Afghanistan
by the British forces only last year.
Raytheon has been mentioning its Patriot anti-missile
system but as yet, it has no formal clearance
from the US government to offer it to India. Informal
presentations have been made though.
Notably, most of the combat systems with the
Indian Armed Forces are either old or outdated.
For instance, except for the Su 30MKI combat aircraft,
all the fighter and transport aircraft with the
Indian Air Force are at least 20 years old.
The emphasis now is more on onboard precision
engagement technology as the key to modern warfare
The US has that.
But how far India goes in buying the US systems
will largely depend not only on the technology
and price offered, but also on the Transfer of
Technology (ToT) that most major deals now warrant
as a policy. | aerospace |

However, with the number of propellers and drones seemingly increasing on these aerial vehicles, most people are curious about how many propellers a drone really needs to fly. So can a drone fly with just one propeller?
A drone flying with only one propeller is prone to spinning and will easily lose balance, which presents significant safety concerns. It is also challenging to control or maneuver a drone with a single propeller. Consequently, drones require a minimum of two propellers to take flight safely.
This article will discuss questions related to this topic in detail. You will discover the minimum number of propellers needed for a drone to fly and why this minimum number is essential. You will also find out whether or not you should take your drone out for a spin if it only has one propeller.
Can a Drone Take Off on One Propeller?
A drone cannot take off on one propeller. It requires a minimum of two propellers to fly safely and stay in the air. While there are some rare exceptions, you would be ill-advised to take your drone for a spin on only one propeller.
A 2016 article by the BBC caught the attention of drone enthusiasts. It stated that the Institute for Dynamic Systems and Control at ETH Zurich had designed a drone that could fly with only one propeller. According to this source, the drone – referred to as a monospinner – would be able to take flight with the single propeller without compromising safety, balance, or maneuverability.
However, it is crucial to appreciate that this monospinner is not the rule but rather an exception to the rule. As explained by the drone gurus at DroneRush, a drone needs at least two propellers to take to the skies safely.
Why Does a Drone Need at Least Two Propellers?
A drone requires at least two propellers because for flight to take place, one spinning propeller creates an equal amount of force in the opposite direction. Therefore, if the first propeller spins in a clockwise direction, the other propeller needs to spin in an anticlockwise direction.
Besides creating a sufficient amount of thrust to allow the drone to take flight, having a minimum of two propellers is also essential for the following reasons:
It Enhances Balance
With one propeller spinning in a clockwise direction and the other moving anticlockwise, the drone will stay balanced. It is important to note that even with four propellers, the same basic science of clockwise and anticlockwise force generation still applies.
Accordingly, if the drone only has one propeller or three propellers, the amount of force created in one direction will not be offset in the opposite direction. This will cause your drone to spin. Having a minimum of two propellers is therefore crucial in ensuring that your drone is balanced and does not spin out of control.
It Increases Safety
Flying a drone with only one propeller also poses a safety risk. This is because these propellers typically have blade-like projections which spin at very high speeds.
Considering the lack of balance associated with flying a drone with just one propeller, there’s a high risk of injury if your drone starts spinning out of control. This can result in deep cuts and other injuries to vulnerable parts of your body, such as your mouth, hands, and even eyes.
I do not, therefore, recommend trying to fly your drone on only one propeller.
Control and Maneuverability
The propellers on a drone are not simply vital for creating enough thrust to take the craft in flight, they are also designed to promote maneuverability and control. Due to the force imbalance associated with having one propeller, it is very difficult to control or maneuver a drone with a single propeller while in flight.
There’s a high likelihood that even if you can somehow get the drone mid-air safely, you will not be able to effectively maneuver or control your craft mid-air. This increases the likelihood of crashing into obstacles or other people. The risk is truly not worth it.
Exceptions to the Rule
While flying a drone with only one propeller – or three out of 4 propellers – greatly impairs the above vital aspects of flight, there are some special exceptions.
Theoretically, (as is the case with the monospinner) a drone can fly with only one or three propellers, as long as there are special algorithms installed in the craft’s recovery software. These algorithms can help counter the imbalance created by unequal force creation on opposite sides from the start.
However, this only applies to very few drones. Majority of commercial drones do not have these algorithms in place. Therefore, it is extremely difficult and risky to try and fly commercial drones that sport only one propeller.
Can You Fly a Drone With a Damaged Propeller?
It is possible to fly a drone if one of the propellers is damaged. However, this will depend on the kind of damage and the extent of damage to the propeller.
Say you have a drone with two propellers, but one of the propellers is broken or damaged. Can you still fly it? The extent to which you can or can’t fly a drone with a broken propeller will largely depend on the extent of the damage incurred.
It is, however, important to note that you cannot, nor should you, try to fly a drone if the propeller is completely broken or severely damaged. The aerial vehicle will not be able to take off safely, and there is a high likelihood of spinning.
Nonetheless, if the damage to the propeller is minor, such as a broken propeller tip, you can still fly your drone and bring it down safely. The number of propellers also play a role in such scenarios.
Oftentimes, drones with a large number of propellers such as hexacopters will be more stable – even with a broken propeller -, when compared to quadcopters and drones with two propellers. This notwithstanding, the quality and smoothness of the flight will still be sub par if one of the propellers is broken.
In closing, it is evident that a drone would not be able to take off with just one propeller. A solitary propeller cannot create the right amount of thrust necessary to get the drone off the ground.
Besides, even if the drone is able to lift off from the ground, there is a high risk of spinning or tipping over, which ushers in significant safety concerns. Additionally, such a craft would be extremely difficult to control, balance or maneuver. | aerospace |

She began her quest for a life in the sky in 1997 when she attended Embry Riddle Aeronautical University. She graduated with a degree in Aeronautical Science in 2001. Jessy started her competitive career in 2000 and followed with her first airshow in 2003. In 2005, Jessy became a member of the “Stars of Tomorrow” flight team. She performs in airshows all over the country flying the Pitts Special.
The Pitts Special (company designations S1 and S2) is a series of light aerobatic biplane designed by Curtis Pitts. It has accumulated many competition wins since its first flight in 1944. The Pitts biplanes dominated world aerobatic competition in the 1960s and 1970s and, even today, remain a potent competition aircraft in the lower categories. Curtis Pitts began the design of a single-seat aerobatic biplane in 1943–1944. The design has been refined continuously since the prototype's first flight in September 1944; however, the current Pitts S2 still remains quite close to the original in concept and in design. Several of the aircraft that Curtis Pitts built had a picture of a skunk on them and were called "Stinkers". After she bought it, aerobatic performer Betty Skelton called the second aircraft that Curtis built, "Lil' Stinker". The prototype S-2, which was the first two-seat Pitts, was "Big Stinker", the prototype Model 11 (later called S1-11B) was "Super Stinker", and the prototype Model 12 was the "Macho Stinker". In 1962 Curtis Pitts set up Pitts Enterprises to sell plans of the S-1C to homebuilders. | aerospace |

TAP Maintenance & Engineering (TAP M&E) have introduced state of the art technology into daily Engine Overhaul operations. This is believed to be the first such fully integrated operational application of RFID to aircraft engine components within an MRO.
An innovative mobile solution harnessing RFID technology is being used to help trace engine components undergoing overhaul. The system allows for improved real time visibility within the process to trace components from disassembly to reassembly, (generating operational efficiencies and helping secure full traceability and greater assurance for customer engines. With this technology, savings over 2.5M€ per annum are expected.) This initiative was successfully delivered in collaboration with Megasis (a TAP group company), Airbus, Accenture and OAT systems.
The mobile solution in the Engine overhaul shop is called MEERA (Mobile Enabled Engine Repair Application). UHF passive RFID tags are encoded, printed and attached to engine components under overhaul. This helps TAP M&E operations identify each component in all subsequent processes of the overhaul.
The MEERA solution helps enable operational users on the shop-floor, in all workshop processes of engine inspection, specifically for instance:
- Mini Module 'Kitting'
And also provides improved management reporting.
TAP M&E provides full service MRO offering (including Aircraft, Engine and Components Maintenance) to customers. The MEERA innovation is expected to help optimize the engine turn-around time for overhaul, and additionally, provide traceability and visibility of engine components under overhaul. | aerospace |

The systems of ESTCube-1, Estonia's first satellite, started functioning well and the satellite's first seven days in space have been more successful than expected, the satellite team said.
The team of ESTCube-1 have started two-way communication with the satellite and the satellite is following orders without hitches. An update of the software on board the satellite has been successfully completed. Radio amateurs from all continents are sending the ESTCube-1 team signals of ESTCube-1 beacons they have picked up. In addition, ESTCube-1 is now officially listed as an object orbiting the Earth by the North American Aerospace Defence Command (NORAD) under 2013-021C.
"The mission of the first Estonian satellite has started more successfully than expected, as all the tested systems are working excellently and responding to the commands received from mission control. Stable two-way communication has been established," said ESTCube-1 team member Mihkel Pajusalu, PhD student at the University of Tartu. He said the signal from the radio beacon of ESTCube-1 has been received and forwarded to Tartu by radio amateurs from all continents except Antarctica.
"The best known institution that observes objects moving in space, NORAD, started immediately following ESTCube-1 with a radar and starting on 8 May it continuously publishes actual parameters of the orbit of ESTCube-1 in its database," said the head of the ESTCube-1 ground station, PhD student at the University of Tartu Tonis Eenmäe.
ESTCube-1 is moving in a polar orbit at a speed of 7.5 kilometres per second or 27,095 kilometres per hour, being probably the fastest moving object ever built in Estonia.
The co-ordinator of the project, Mart Noorma, said the satellite's average altitude from the surface of the Earth was 666 kilometres and it took the satellite 98 minutes to complete a circle in Earth's orbit. It circles the Earth slightly under 15 times per 24 hours and has circled the planet 88 times by now. By the projected end of its lifespan in 2036 the satellite is estimated to have passed approximately 5.5 billion kilometres, Noorma said.
The principal communication channel of ESTCube-1 switched on 48 hours after the takeoff of the rocket that took the satellite to the orbit. The first command was sent to the satellite at 10.00 on the morning of 9 May and two-way communication has been enabled since then. The satellite has reported that its electrical system, onboard computer, communications system and command system are in order. The satellite's camera has made the first test photo. Update of the satellite's software by radio has been tested successfully and the software of the electrical alarm system has been successfully replaced with a new version.

Updated: Jun 21, 2021
We all have seen in our traces that the altitude plot features some non-expected peaks and snags when we shut motor or in the landing moment.
I have identified the following effects that will cause our altimeter, which is a device that measures just pressure, reads an altitude not in line with expected.
We want to measue the undisturbed static pressure at the location our airplane is, but certainly the only presence of the model slightly disturbs the rearing. Note that what we want is to measure the pressure, say a few meters away the model but we are measuring the pressure “somewhere inside the fuselage” of the model.
The motor and propeller flow do change as well this pressure inside the fuselage.
Main effect here is kinetic energy. When you are climbing like a rocket at the end of your climb your airplane is likely to be running at speeds around 12-15 m/s (43-54 km/hr) or even more this doubles its cruise speed which is around 6 m/s (24 km/hr). No matter the model is absolutely horizontal: a trimmed model will just float up to its cruise speed is achieved by exchanging its kinetic energy in potential energy that is increasing its altitude.
The only and last formula here is:
Delta(h)= ½ (V12-V22)/g
where Delta(h) is meters and V in meters per second and g, gravity 9,8m/s2, for the numbers above (15 m/s and 6 m/s) this Delta(h), increment of altitude due kinetic energy, is around 10 meters, which very much what you see if you are not very careful in your top of climb. and the prressure distribution will be similar
If you wanted to maintain exactly the altitude when you shut the motor you should push the elevator such the altitude is constant while the speed decreases. I made a simulation for a glider 4m span, 0,4 m/s descend speed at cruise, 1,4 kg mass and an aspect ratio of 18. It will take around 6,5 seconds to dissipate all above kinetic energy down its cruise speed. Ahh this where the famous 10 seconds of F5J altitude calculation comes…
https://leehamnews.com/2015/04/28/fundamentals-of-airliner-performance-part-7-the-wing/ )Airliners are not that different than our models…
Yellow and red areas are where the static pressure is higher than atmospheric pressure (ram effect), pink areas are those where that pressure is more or less equal to atmospheric and GREY areas are where the static pressure is LOWER than atmospheric: there is more or less where the canopy of your model is.
This is a static motor On excursion
This is an example Where you can see this effect and also the kinetik energy recovery of height
This is an explanation why you see in your gliderkeeper traces the landing moment is “a bit high” also take in account that depending on the landing manoeuvre the altimeter “may” be a little higher than the nose touching the terrain and triggering the landing time.
Another interesting effect I have seen in a couple of instances is a dynamic effect during this landing. See picture it is clearly dynamic effect and as you can see this is around -2,5m which would mysteriously match to a hammershock effect of a fuselage pod column of air of 1,5m long braking at 2g in a very hermetic fuselage cabin… or it is just inertial forces in pressure sensor (difficult to believe). That fuselage does not show much Fuselage Shape effect so it is likely to be very tight sealing canopy.
Please note all above effects are depending and may vary in your peculiar installation, Fuselage shape and as well the way you pilot your plane.For further details please contact us in email@example.com.
We all wish now you have a little more confidence in the readings of your favourite AMRT and this helps you to have the happiest landings. | aerospace |

Notice to Flybig
“We have already issued a show cause notice to Flybig,” stated Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma on Thursday. We’ll decide how to proceed after we receive their response.”
Sangma further indicated that airline was having difficulty obtaining a wet lease aircraft, but due to pressure from the state government, the airline partnered with SpiceJet to obtain a Q 400 aircraft and began service.
SpiceJet’s contract with the airline is not being extended, according to the CM, and as a result, the latter will be unable to maintain its flight operations.
Flybig, for its part, has approached the Ministry of Civil Aviation and the Director General of Civil Aviation about a wet lease of an aircraft.
A wet lease is a contract that covers the rental of an aircraft, as well as the provision of a flight crew and, in certain cases, fuel.

A major European airline recently asked industry experts what they thought the business traveller would experience when flying toward the end of the next century and the answers were varied to say the least.
Ecology and the Business TravellerThe ecological impact of commercial flight was discussed a great deal but predictably, none of the experts thought that there would be no flying at all. Despite the environmental objections, the genie is unlikely to be put back in the bottle.
With one estimate of 5-10% annual growth in flying miles and another of airline traffic generally doubling every ten to fifteen years, the challenge is seen as making more efficient engines, with different fuels, and different aircraft forms.
It seems unlikely that industry experts take seriously the threat of telecommunications technology. It was considered that business will become more global and that meeting face-to-face would still be important enough to make video-conferencing, Internet seminars and the like adjuncts to flying rather than replacements.
Aircraft Shapes will Deliver More ComfortThe consensus was that the shape of aircraft will remain broadly similar for the coming decades with attention being paid to stronger but lighter composite materials for the structure of the aircraft and greater use of electronic controls to eek more fuel out of the engines. It is anticipated that toward the end of the century we will see radical shapes that are aerodynamically more efficient and hold themselves up in the air better than today's shapes.
This in turn means that they will require less fuel. Shapes are expected to evolve that are more like flying wings, with the whole body of the plane contributing to lift. These will provide larger spaces than the confined tubular fuselages of today, allowing the business traveller to stretch out and exercise more easily.
Technological AdvancesThe growth of nanotechnology is expected to deliver more slippery surfaces and perhaps surfaces that change throughout the flight, ultra-smooth at cruising height then roughening up to increase drag on landing. There are likely to be solar cells on the top surfaces that provide electrical power so there's less of a load on the engines.
Another off-the-wall prediction is that computation would have advanced so dramatically that aircraft will be able to determine wind speeds and air currents at various heights and locations. They will then be able to adjust their flight paths dynamically to take advantage of beneficial air movements, increasing fuel economy once more.
Bigger and Better?The size of aircraft will continue the upward trend to lessen the ecological cost per traveller and some designs are expected to hold up to two and a half thousand passengers. But this will put pressure on airports to increase capacity and throughput, otherwise the business traveller will be having a very stressful time toward the end of the century.
Finally it remains to be seen whether the recent trend towards ultra-luxurious and spacious cabins for the business traveller will continue. It is either a move to provide a better experience to compete for the business traveller's miles or the decadent end of a global boom that has just spectacularly bust. | aerospace |

Short Course Description:
LiDAR and active remote sensing entail the integration of a laser source, optical-beam formatting/directing/collecting apparatuses, photodetectors and data-processing infrastructures to perform standoff analysis tasks aimed at distant targets. Such tasks include reconnaissance, imaging and range finding as well as terrain mapping/topography, autonomous navigation, fingerprinting of airborne bio-chemical species, wind-speed measurements and climate studies.
LiDAR and active remote sensing require the integration of a laser source, optical-beam formatting/directing/collecting apparatuses, photodetectors and data-processing infrastructures to perform standoff analysis tasks aimed at distant targets. Such tasks include reconnaissance, imaging and range finding as well as terrain mapping/topography, autonomous navigation, fingerprinting of airborne bio-chemical species, wind-speed measurements and climate studies.
This course offers an introduction to state-of-the-art LiDAR and active remote sensing technologies. While covering physical foundations, the course adopts a practical and system-oriented approach. Its main goal is to provide students with proper knowledge tools to understand how LiDAR and remote sensing devices are designed, developed and deployed in real applications spanning the scientific, military and industrial realms. Another goal is to familiarize students with the numerous cutting-edge technologies employed in such applications: from pulsed diode and fiber lasers to optical phase arrays, single-photon detectors, image-extraction algorithms etc.
Topics that will be covered include long-range remote sensors deployed in air- and space-based platforms such as deep-space probes, satellites or aircrafts. Such systems must address challenges including the maximization of laser transmitter pulse energy; minimization of size, weight and power consumption; rugged operation in thermo-mechanically harsh environments; and long-term reliability.
LiDAR-based navigation technologies for driverless cars or drones will also be addressed by illustrating how innovative components and optical/electronic/computational solutions are tailored and integrated in these applications to meet the tight size and cost constraints of consumer markets.
Short Course Benefits:
This course will enable participants to:
- Summarize key remote sensing approaches: Direct vs. coherent LiDAR, standoff spectroscopy (e.g., differential absorption), Doppler LiDAR, etc.
- Compare laser technologies (diode, fiber and bulk solid-state lasers) used as optical transmitters based on wavelength, power, mode of operation, cost, etc.
- List detecting apparatuses (photodiodes, cameras, phototubes, etc.) and discuss how they operate (Linear intensity detection, Geiger-mode/single-photon detection, flash LiDAR, etc.)
- Compute basic link budgets and use results to inform the selection of sensor components and designs
Short Course Audience:
The course is aimed mainly at physicists and engineers with a graduate-level background in optics and photonics, pursuing research and development work in active remote sensing. The course is also useful for experienced scientists and engineers in science labs and/or aerospace and automotive industry who are generally interested in state-of-the-art remote sensing applications and technologies.
Fabio Di Teodoro is a Senior Engineering Fellow at Raytheon Technologies, based in El Segundo, California, USA. He has worked on laser based LiDAR and remote sensors for nearly two decades. His area of expertise includes fiber-laser transmitters and airborne LiDAR sensors.

The helicopter will replace the existing one and offer the latest in military advancements to stay ahead of its time.
Boeing and Leonardo are partnering together in the creation of the MH-139 designed specifically for USAF. The MH-139 is derived from the civilian Leonardo AW-139.
According to Boeing’s website,“
Proven to excel in the most demanding environments around the world, the MH-139 will meet all U.S. Air Force requirements and demonstrates a robust spectrum of capabilities with unmatched versatility.
David Koopersmith, the vice president and general manager of Boeing Vertical Lift, spoke about the MH-139, the Air Force’s role in selecting it, and his confidence in the helicopter.
“We’re grateful for the Air Force’s confidence in our MH-139 team,” Koopersmith said. “The MH-149 exceeds mission requirements. It’s also ideal for VIP transport, and it offers the Air Force up to $1 billion in acquisition and lifecycle cost savings.”
The Bell MH-139 will replace the UH-1N “Huey” helicopter. Often this helicopter performed search and rescue missions. The Huey was first introduced in 1970. The Huey served as the American staple helicopter for almost half of a century, showing advancements in ballistic missiles and ensured safety. Currently, 59 of these helicopters are considered active.
But USAF believes the MH-139 is the way of the future. A total of 84 have already been ordered; the first helicopter is expected to arrive in 2021.
The MH-139 is said to be an improvement on the Huey by offering more speed, endurance, range, and capable of handling a higher payload. Also, it will have technological advancements for survivability.
The Huey can reach 149 miles per hour and travel over 300 miles. It can reach altitudes of 15,000 feet and hold about 10,500 pounds. Numbers for what the Boeing MH-139 may be capable of is not currently available.
A few new upgrades the MH-139 would have is machine gun windows. Instead of opting for machine gun mounts, the helicopter will have the ability to open its windows to fire machine guns. The helicopter is also expected to have more room in the cabin and will be able to fit around 15 people. The Boeing MH-139 will have a five-blade rotor system in place that is expected to increase performance and cut back on the noise, creating a fail-safe system.
The MH-139 program has a value of approximately $2.4 billion for the 84 helicopters ordered. This number also includes support equipment as well as devices used for training.
Ed Dolanski, the president of the U.S government Services, Boeing Global Services, said, “We’re proud to provide the U.S. Air Force with solutions across the entire services ecosystem. With the AW-139 platform’s more than 2 million flight hours and established supply chain, we look forward to applying our expertise to drive cost savings while supporting mission readiness.” | aerospace |

I even flew slightly overloaded and yet the performance of the wing was already impressive.
The Nestra flew remarkably dynamically and efficiently and gave me the feeling of hanging under a higher classified wing.
The steering is absolutely precise and it feels like a razor blade cutting through the air.
I flew with some C and even D category gliders and I felt the Nestra was on par with those gliders.
I’m used to hanging on a few lines from my Enzo, but seeing a similar picture on an En-B wing is truly revolutionary.
The Nestra Light is APCO’s all new high end EN-B.
A true cross country machine offering C level performance in the EN-B category with real life B level safety for any pilot looking for the best this category can deliver! | aerospace |

Apr 12, 2007 - 11:12:56 PM
New Delhi, April 12 - Indian scientists successfully tested a fire-and-forget Agni-III Intermediate Range Ballistic Missile - Thursday.
Fired from the Wheeler Island in the Bay of Bengal on India's eastern coast, the missile reached its designated target in 15 minutes in the Indian Ocean, proving the success of the Made-in-India propulsion and guidance systems, Ministry of Defence - spokesman Sitanshu Kar told IANS.
He did not say how far the dummy target was but indications are that it was around 3,000-km away, and the impact of the missile's kinetic energy and the explosion of the single, conventional warhead had the desired result.
'It was a textbook launch with precision hit,' Kar said adding that ground control did not guide the missile although stations along India's eastern coast, Andaman and Nicobar Islands, and two naval ships monitored the flight path.
Details are likely to be made public after the test parameters are assessed and a report of the newly acquired capability is submitted to the government.
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, Defence Minister A.K. Antony, Minister of State for Defence Pallam Raju, Defence Secretary Shekhar Dutt and Defence Research and Development Organisation - head M. Natarajan congratulated the team of scientists behind the test.
The test was 'an impressive illustration of the indigenous capacity developed by our scientists and technologists in mastering strategic high technologies essential for maintaining the nation's defence and security', the prime minister said in his message.
Antony said the 'Agni-III test has confirmed India's strategic capability for a minimum credible deterrence'.
Defence sources told IANS that Indian scientists were working on putting multiple warheads on the missile.
There is a substantial use of lightweight carbon composite materials in the two-stage Agni-III, but after some more tests and further development, its weight would be reduced to give it multiple warhead capability.
The 16-metre Agni-III weighed 48 tonnes and carried a warhead of 1.5 tonnes.
An IRBM is a missile with 3,000 to 5,000 km range, while missiles with longer reach are designated Inter Continental Ballistic Missile -. There are nearly a dozen types of IRBMs in the world, including with North Korea and China, who shared their technology with Pakistan and Iran as well.
The missile can be launched from various platforms, including from submarines if their size is compatible. As India is already working on submarine-launched BrahMos supersonic cruise missile, it should not be a very difficult task to achieve submarine-launched IRBM capability.
Thursday's test, however, was conducted from a specially-built, mobile railway pad, indicating that it would be deployed in numbers from east to west to ensure secondary strike capability as part of the country's No-First-Use-But-Massive-Retaliation policy.
'The trajectory of Agni-III was computed by the onboard computer system based on the launch and target coordinates. During the flight, the missile had no communication with the ground systems and was fully 'intelligent' to reach its designated target,' a defence ministry statement said.
'The entire flight of approximately 15 minutes validated all mission objectives, primarily to establish the performance of the two-stage propulsion system and the flexible nozzle control system developed by DRDO scientists for the very first time,' it said.
Speaking after the launch, Natarajan made a specific reference to the high degree of self-reliance achieved with Agni-III as most of its sub-systems have been developed within the country.
Referring to the failure of the previous Agni-III test, he said: 'With this success, the design team is happy that the problems faced in the previous attempt on July 9 last year have been fully understood and solved.'
According to mission director Avinash Chander, Thursday's test had proven many of the technologies developed by DRDO.
These included the flexible nozzle controls of the rocket motor during the powered phase, the specially developed composite propellant for the rocket, guidance and control systems with inbuilt fault tolerant avionics, and the withstanding of the severe aero-thermal environment experienced during the re-entry phase, as also coordinated mission management.
Agni means fire in Hindi. Two shorter-range versions of namesake missiles are already in deployment.
Agni-III is the most advanced of the Agni series of missiles. It carries fuel both for propulsion and mid-course corrections if required to fine-tune itself with pre-programmed target coordinates.
Agni-I is a 750-800 km short-range missile while Agni-II has a range of more than 1,500 km.

Why is there so little confidence in the outcome of radiometric dating that scientist admit that they regularly reject data provided by that means?
All you need to do is compare the methodology of radiometric dating with that of predicting aircraft performance and the answer becomes perfectly obvious.
The Radiometric Dating Method Once again let me point out that scientists regularly reject data from radiometric “dating” results.
In fact you may have already noticed a number of dead give aways in the above description of the hard science parameter specifications of aircraft performance above.
Those give aways are words like: Precisely quantifying aircraft performance is all about knowing conditions and circumstances.
Accurate: Performance predictions consistently fall within a narrow range of expected values and don’t vary greatly.
As a licensed pilot and certified flight instructor, I’ve bet my life, and the life of my students and passengers that I know exactly how a given plane will perform under given circumstances: how much runway it will take to take off, fly a specified distance and land at another airport. What inputs it takes to recover from a stall (that’s not a reference to the engine by the way) and spins. Anyone who has flown in a plane is betting the science of flight is a “hard science” with consistent predictable results. | aerospace |

Valavanis, University of Denver
Dr. Kimon P. Valavanis, John Evans Professor Director, Research and Innovation, and, DU Unmanned Systems Research Institute D. F. Ritchie School of Engineering and Computer Science University of Denver, Denver, CO 80208
ABSTRACT. The seminar presents a summary of on-going research activities in robotics and automation and unmanned systems in DU2SRI. Emphasis is given to UGV and UAV design, modeling, sensor-based navigation/control, formation control, integrated control and diagnostics, flight control systems that are agnostic to the specific vehicle, as well as custom-designed and custom-built UGV-landing platform-UAV ensembles that function in unison as autonomous systems (operating in dynamic and uncertain environments) – UAVs may takeoff from, land on and recharge on the landing platform. Then, the focus shifts to addressing specifics of ongoing challenging problems, all related to NextGen unmanned robotic systems: i.) Control of families of nonlinear systems with unstructured uncertainties. For systems with unstructured uncertainties and time-varying characteristics, navigation/controller design is based on a family of admissible models with unknown uncertainty bounds. As such, a robust nonlinear controller is presented that consists of a dynamic inversion inner-loop and a µ-synthesis outer-loop controller that is suitable for such systems. A design application is demonstrated using fixed-wing aircraft. ii.) Multi-rotor systems flying in restricted areas or confined spaces. When designing/using multi-rotor UAVs for infrastructure monitoring, inspection and support, it is crucial to understand and overcome limitations related to ground, ceiling and wall effects. The widely-used Cheeseman-Bennett model for conventional helicopters may not be sufficient in such cases. Thus, through exhaustive experimental studies, a modified parametric relation is introduced to account for confined space effects, demonstrated and implemented on quadrotors. iii.) Autonomous UGV-UAV ensembles. Two completely functional ensembles are presented that consist of a custom built autonomous UGV serving also as landing platform for helicopters and multi-rotors. Vision-based landing is demonstrated. Platform leveling within 1o of the horizon is shown while the base platform navigates through rough and uneven terrains. The seminar concludes with a brief report on joint PoliTo (DIMEAS)–DU ongoing research projects.

Budget Needs For Moon-Mars Missions Revealed
President George W. Bush wants a 5 percent hike in NASA's annual budget for the next three years to begin plans for a base on the moon and a manned expedition to Mars.
A senior administration official said some money will come from phasing out the space shuttle and ending U.S. obligations to the International Space Station. The shuttle costs about $4 billion a year; the space station, about $1 billion.
The official said Bush will outline his plan in a speech Wednesday. The president will call for a permanent moon base within two decades and astronauts on Mars sometime after 2030.
A 5 percent increase in NASA's $15.5 billion budget would amount to $775 million in the first year, $813 million in the second year and $854 million in the third year.
Earlier, a space expert said he's "quite unimpressed" by the plans for future space missions.
Iowa physicist James Van Allen argues that such manned missions have become too costly -- and that better results could be gained by using robotic spacecraft.
Van Allen is considered one of the founding fathers of space exploration. The Van Allen Belts of intense radiation that circle the Earth are named after him.
Van Allen says that, these days, manned space flights have become "uninteresting except when disasters occur." He says people must have the courage to say, "Let's terminate human spaceflight." | aerospace |

It’s known to give turbine rotor blades using a protective layer, in order for them to have an increased lifetime during operation in a gas turbine. Often employed as a protective layer to the turbine rotor blade made in a casting processis a corrosion protection layer of the type MCrAlY. The application of the protective layer occurs in the region of the surface that’s exposed to the hot gas of the gas turbine during operation. This region comprises both the blade airfoil andthe platform of the turbine rotor blade, where the blade airfoil is integrally formed. Aside from the rust protection layer, a thermal barrier coating may be implemented from the aforementioned region, so as to minimize as much as possible theamount of heat introduced to the base substance of the turbine rotor blade out of the gas. The application of the layers thereby alters the vibrational behavior of the turbine rotor blade.
It is also known that turbine rotor blades are excited to vibrate throughout the functioning of the gas turbine. The vibrational excitation is due to the rotation of the rotor on which the turbine rotor blades are procured. Additionally contributing tothe vibrational excitation of the blade airfoils of the turbine rotor blades is the hot gas impinging on them. Considering that the blade airfoils of the turbine rotor blades rotate downstream of a ring of tanks guide vanes–seen at the path of flow of thehot gas–they’re excited to vibrate by hot gas pulsating on them. It is therefore required that every turbine rotor blade has a high resonant frequency, so that the various excitation frequencies of both the vibrational excitationoriginating from the rotational rate of the rotor and the vibrational excitation originating from the hot gas do not lead to an unacceptably great vibration of the blade airfoil. Accordingly, in the prior art the turbine rotor blades were created insuch a manner that their resonant frequency deviates from the excitation frequencies of the stationary gas turbine. At the development of the turbine rotor blade, it’s also guaranteed that, overall, the finished turbine rotor blade pleases the requirementswith respect to normal resonance, including with regard to the rotor rates to be expected.
It is thus envisaged from the production process of the turbine rotor blade to test each individual turbine rotor blade because of its vibrational properties. In this test, the turbine blade is clamped in the origin and made to vibrate by amechanical impulse. Afterward the vibrational response of the turbine blade, and in particular its blade airfoil, is felt. If the vibrational response of the turbine rotor blade doesn’t comply with the specified frequency values for your resonantfrequency, it has to be discarded or manipulated by way of appropriate measures in such a way that it matches the prerequisites for the resonant frequency, and is thus appropriate for operation. In order turbine rotor blades that are not intended tobe used from the gas turbine just due to their vibrational property are passed for use, it is known for example from EP 1 985 803 A1 to present a recess from the tip of the blade airfoil, whereby the mass of the turbine rotor blade canbe reduced during its free, vibratory end. By cutting the mass of the turbine rotor blade, the vibrational property is positively influenced. Its resonant frequency can be shifted to higher values by removing the mass.
In addition, it is known by EP 0 537 922 A1 to insert a tubular damper in the blade platform of a turbine rotor blade. This damper may be pushed out slightly under rotational force, and thus come in contact with a platform of a neighboringblade to soften blade-to-blade vibrations during operation.

What band is air traffic control?
The frequency band allocated for Aeronautical VHF communications is 118-137 MHz.
What happened to the band Air Traffic?
Hiatus (2010) In September 2010 the remaining 3 members announced on the band’s official website that they are “taking a break from being a band for a while to try other things” suggesting that the band has split.
Who are air traffic controllers employed by?
Most controllers work for the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Air traffic controllers work in control towers, approach control facilities, or en route centers. Many tower and approach/departure controllers work near large airports.
What GS level are air traffic controllers?
Most air traffic controllers begin at GS-4, GS-5 or GS-7 level. You would need two years of training or experience for a GS-4 position and three years of experience for a GS-5 position. GS-7 positions and higher usually require comprehensive training or experience specific to each posting.
What is the age limit for air traffic controller?
Air Traffic Controllers are required to have three years of general experience, four years of college, or a combination of experience and education. The FAA has established a maximum age of 30 at the time of appointment for tower and center candidates.
What frequency are airports?
The Common Traffic Advisory Frequency (CTAF) or Unicom frequencies are typically used at nontowered airports. The most common are 122.7, 122.8, 122.9, 123.0. 123.050 MHz with 122.950 being the usual CTAF frequency of choice for airports with a tower.
What frequencies does aviation use?
Legally, for air-to-air communications between private, fixed-wing aircraft, there is just one authorized frequency: 122.75 MHz. For general aviation helicopters: 123.025 MHz. Gliders and hot air balloons share 123.3 and 123.5 MHz.
Who is the lead singer of air traffic controller?
Air Traffic Controller is an indie pop band that started in Boston, Massachusetts. The lead singer, singer/songwriter Dave Munro, had previously served in the United States Navy as an air traffic controller, inspiring the name for the band.
Where can I listen to live air traffic control?
You can listen to live air traffic control (ATC) radio communication of many airports around the world, via the internet. These live audio feeds are also good for student pilots: get used to standard phraseology of ground control, tower, etc., at various speeds.
When did air traffic controller make the Hot 100?
The band was a 2015 Billboard Hot 100 Fest performer. Additionally, they have over 15 million Spotify plays. They were selected as a Showcase Artist for SXSW 2016 and made the NPR Hot 100 List for SXSW.
Why is there no VHF coverage for air traffic control?
Large areas of the world do not have VHF coverage for air traffic control radio communication – either because they are too far from land (i.e., the oceans), or because they are remote and the controlling countries can not provide coverage for economic reasons. | aerospace |

The launch is scheduled for summer 2018. The device is expected to approach the outer layer of the Sun’s atmosphere which is called corona. Its temperature reaches several millions of Celsius degrees. The probe will be protected by a carbon fiber cover capable of bearing extraordinarily high temperature. By 2025 this interplanetary space station will orbit around the Sun 24 times. Every turn will take 88 days.
The probe is to be equipped with elements worth around $1.5 billion. It will help American scientists to perform radiation measurements and take unique photos within the corona. Probe developers expect received data to shed the light on reasons for the corona’s heating and origins of the solar wind.

April 9, 2013
Two adults and a child escaped injury April 4 when the pilot of the plane they were traveling in failed to lower the landing gear.
According to the New Philadelphia Post of the Ohio State Highway Patrol, Travis Mackenzie, 37, of West Lafayette was piloting a Mooney M20F and attempted to land at Tolsen Field in Carroll County at 5 p.m. after departing from Richard Downing Airport in Coshocton.
Mackenzie, a pilot since February 2012, told patrol he approached Tolsen Field from the northeast and entered a long down wind and turned for a final when he was distracted from his check list and failed to extend the landing gear.
The plane struck the ground with the underbelly of the fuselage and skidded around 120-feet before stopping.
Walter Gossett, 69, of Coshocton and Aiden Mackenzie, 3, of West Lafayette were passengers in the airplane.
The Ohio State Highway Patrol secured the airplane and contacted the Federal Aviation Administration. | aerospace |

The company’s Google Earth team went beyond its purview to create Moon in Google Earth, which maps the lunar landscape and provides more info about the Apollo landing sites, panoramic images shot by the Apollo astronauts and tours as an educational tool for grade schoolers.
To access the new applications, users must download and access Google Earth 5.0. Users can then click the planet button on the top toolbar of Google Earth, and choose Moon.
Once the app zips users to the moon, they’ll have the usual Google Earth navigational controls, including the ability to drag the mouse on the globe to fly around and use the layers panel in the lower-left corner to discover content.
A “human artifacts” layer shows objects humans left on the moon. Users can also watch video clips of Neil Armstrong’s first steps on the moon, and get tours from Apollo 11 astronaut Buzz Aldrin and Apollo 17 astronaut Harrison “Jack” Schmitt.
Check out this video, with an introduction from Schmitt, for the tour:
Each of the Apollo landing missions is chronicled through pictures and stories, including an Apollo missions layer. There are also 3D lunar surface panoramas, composed of photos taken by the astronauts when they visited the moon:
Google’s overriding mission is to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful. With new projects such as Moon in Google Earth, it’s clear Google wants to organize the universe’s information and make it accessible to our world.
This is a noble achievement by any measure. One wonders how deep the Google rabbit hole in space exploration will go? Will Jupiter, Mars, Saturn and the like get the same microscopic treatment?

The Korean Intellectual Property Office announced that a total of 389 patents related to drones were applied for in 2015, which was a 161 percent increase compared to the previous year.
The number of patent applications for drones was around 30 before 2012, but started to show rapid growth with 126 cases in 2013, 149 cases in 2014 and 389 cases in 2015.
With drones in the spotlight as a promising growth engine, competition to secure a share of the market has become fierce with businesses making efforts in research and development, and rushing to apply for patents.
Numerous small and mid-sized businesses as well as research centers are leading the patent charge.
The scope of the technology covered in the patents is broad. Technology related to the flying vehicles themselves and operation techniques have the largest share of patent applications. Drones that can put out fires and drones that can carry survival equipment were also mentioned in patent applications last year.
Patents related to technology for take-off, landing, and charging also increased. For instance, a moving vehicle that can charge many drones simultaneously while also serving as a landing pad was the subject of a patent application.
As the government plans to commercialize drones this year, R&D efforts are expanding and investment in drones is increasing. The number of patent applications related to drones is expected to continue to rise.

Of course, the government's space program is one of the smaller federal expenditures. At slightly less that $19 billion for the fiscal year just ended, NASA's annual budget is less than Washington spends on Medicare in a month, and just a tad more than the Pentagon spends in a week.
Still, what we do in space has tremendous impact on everyone. The Apollo program's $20 billion cost (in 1960s dollars) was the greatest stimulus to the American economy that Washington has ever made in peacetime.
That $20 billion investment in space technology has generated trillions of dollars and millions of jobs in the U.S. economy, ranging from home computers and cellphones to medical monitoring systems used in hospitals, sensor systems used everywhere, fuel cell energy systems, fire-resistant materials, cordless power tools, tough lightweight fabrics, global positioning systems, electronic games, and rockets capable of carrying us anywhere in the solar system.
Not to mention the management techniques that were developed to handle the mammoth task of running a project that involved hundreds of thousands of workers spread across the length and breadth of this nation.
If the next President of the United States wants to boost the American economy, pushing hard on new space initiatives would be a good place to start.
Yet both presidential candidates have been very quiet about their plans and hopes for the nation's space program. Why?
Neither of them seems to understand how crucial space technologies have been to the economy. They both seem locked into the idea that space is an expensive hobby for scientists, and politically it has two main uses: national prestige and employment for engineers.
Neither candidate has proposed clear, attractive goals for our space program. The best they have offered is to continue operating the International Space Station, and to study possible missions that would send human explorers beyond low Earth orbit someday.
Robotic missions to Mars and the farther planets have been seriously curtailed, despite their previous successes.
We know from the explorations already undertaken that space holds bonanzas of wealth: more energy and raw materials than the entire Earth can provide us.
But our government is doing practically nothing to develop and utilize those resources. To quote Patrick Henry, "Why stand we here idle?"
One major problem is that there is no large constituency for space, no bloc of voters that will toss politicians out of office if they don't push hard on new space efforts.
There are grass roots organizations such as the National Space Society and the Planetary Society, but they are small and have had very little impact on Washington's decision-makers.
It's not that the average voter is against space endeavors. Everybody likes space. But not enough to form an effective voting power. Issues closer to home, such as jobs, the economy, health care, gasoline prices, education and crime are much more important to most voters than the nation's space program.
The one ray of light in this otherwise gloomy picture is private enterprise. Private companies such as SpaceX are breaking new ground by flying cargo — and eventually people — to the International Space Station.
Other companies are building rockets, too, and planning to carry ordinary folks into space. For profit. Build hotels in orbit. Go out to the asteroids to capture the enormous treasures of metals and minerals floating through space.
There are new industries waiting to be developed in space. It will be interesting to see if private enterprise can succeed in developing them.
Meanwhile, the next President might consider ordering NASA to develop a prototype solar power satellite, a system that could convert sunlight into electricity in orbit and beam at least 50 megawatts to the ground. That prototype might open a new industry in space solar power.
There's a lot that can be done in space to enrich our lives here on the ground. The government doesn't seem to understand this.
Perhaps the best we can hope for is to have the government get out of the way and allow private enterprise to do the job.

They are intended for single and twin-engine helicopters weighing between 1.5 and 3.2 tonnes.
The Arrius features a simple and robust design. Two main modules, a reduction gearbox and a gas generator module, facilitate maintenance operations. Depending on the variant, Time Between Overhaul (TBO) is between 3,000 and 4,000 hours.
It comprises a single-stage centrifugal compressor, a single-stage turbine and a power turbine. Earlier variants have a hydro-mechanical control system while more recent ones are equipped with Full Authority Digital Engine Control (FADEC).
Efficient, compact and robust, the engine has been chosen to power numerous light helicopters, in particular the H135 (Arrius 2B2Plus) and H120 (Arrius 2F) from Airbus Helicopters. The 2K2 model drives the AW109 Power developed by AgustaWestland and the 2G1 was chosen by Russian Helicopters for its Ka-226T.
In 2013, the Arrius 2R was selected to power the new Bell 505 Jet Ranger X developed by Bell Helicopter. It is the first Bell product to be powered by a Safran engine.
Early versions of the Arrius 2 entered service in 1996. The continuous integration of new technologies has enabled the engine to stay at the leading edge of progress.
Arrius engines comply with the highest market standards in terms of reliability and safety, particularly for single-engine applications.
To date, over 3,800 Arrius engines have been built by Safran Helicopter Engines. The worldwide Arrius fleet, distributed among 430 customers in 60 different countries, has accumulated more than ten million flight hours.
The Arrius 2F was specially designed for the light single-engine H120 (maximum take-off weight 1.715kg) developed by Airbus Helicopters.
The Arrius 2F delivers a take-off power of 504 shp and a cruise power of 450 shp. It is equipped with the latest-generation hydro-mechanical control system.
Like all Arrius 2 engines the 2F offers simplified maintenance procedures, as a result of its two main module architecture. | aerospace |

In the following video, former senior drone operator Brandon Bryant expresses deep regret for the six years he spent with the US drone program between 2005 and 2011. It especially bothered him that he was expected to fire on targets without being clear of their identities: “We didn’t even really know who we were firing at.”
Last November the human rights group Reprieve published a study indicating attempts to kill 41 alleged terrorists in Pakistan and Yemen resulted in more than 1100 civilian deaths.

More than 500,000 pieces of debris, or “space junk,” are tracked as they orbit the Earth. They all travel at speeds up to 17,500 mph, fast enough for a relatively small piece of orbital debris to damage a satellite or a spacecraft.
The rising population of space debris increases the potential danger to all space vehicles, but especially to the International Space Station, space shuttles and other spacecraft with humans aboard.
NASA takes the threat of collisions with space debris seriously and has a long-standing set of guidelines on how to deal with each potential collision threat. These guidelines, part of a larger body of decision-making aids known as flight rules, specify when the expected proximity of a piece of debris increases the probability of a collision enough that evasive action or other precautions to ensure the safety of the crew are needed.
Space debris encompasses both natural (meteoroid) and artificial (man-made) particles. Meteoroids are in orbit about the sun, while most artificial debris is in orbit about the Earth. Hence, the latter is more commonly referred to as orbital debris.
Orbital debris is any man-made object in orbit about the Earth which no longer serves a useful function. Such debris includes nonfunctional spacecraft, abandoned launch vehicle stages, mission-related debris and fragmentation debris. There are more than 20,000 pieces of debris larger than a softball orbiting the Earth. They travel at speeds up to 17,500 mph, fast enough for a relatively small piece of orbital debris to damage a satellite or a spacecraft. There are 500,000 pieces of debris the size of a marble or larger. There are many millions of pieces of debris that are so small they can’t be tracked.
Even tiny paint flecks can damage a spacecraft when traveling at these velocities. In fact a number of space shuttle windows have been replaced because of damage caused by material that was analyzed and shown to be paint flecks.
The Department of Defense maintains a highly accurate satellite catalogue on objects in Earth orbit that are larger than a softball. NASA and the DoD cooperate and share responsibilities for characterizing the satellite (including orbital debris) environment. DoD’s Space Surveillance Network tracks discrete objects as small as 2 inches (5 centimetres) in diameter in low Earth orbit and about 1 yard (1 meter) in geosynchronous orbit. Currently, about 15,000 officially catalogued objects are still in orbit. The total number of tracked objects exceeds 21,000. Using special ground-based sensors and inspections of returned satellite surfaces, NASA statistically determines the extent of the population for objects less than 4 inches (10 centimetres) in diameter.
Collision risks are divided into three categories depending upon size of threat. For objects 4 inches (10 centimetres) and larger, conjunction assessments and collision avoidance manoeuvres are effective in countering objects which can be tracked by the Space Surveillance Network. Objects smaller than this usually are too small to track and too large to shield against. Debris shields can be effective in withstanding impacts of particles smaller than half an inch (1 centimetre). | aerospace |

Given the recent investigation into the physiological effects of space on famed astronaut John Glenn, it is evident that NASA scientists are interested in researching how microgravity affects the human body. Among the areas of interest is the muscular performance of astronauts. Muscular activity, however, is not easily monitored in space with traditional and cumbersome electromyographic (EMG) machines. This has changed with the assistance of Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) funding from NASA's Johnson Space Center. NASA, along with other government agencies, has helped Delsys, Inc., of Boston, Massachusetts, develop the MyoMonito® EMG system—a wearable 4-channel device that offers a new dimension in electromyography. Delsys, a spinoff company from the NeuroMuscular Research Center at Boston University, is also developing an 8-channel version of the MyoMonitor.
Currently, the battery-powered device is capable of storing over 3 hours of continuous 4-channel data and has a convenient carrying case that offers the freedom to monitor muscle performance with a portable cable-free unit. The MyoMonitor is being marketed for monitoring rehabilitative therapy, work place injury prevention, sports medicine, ergonomics, exercise training, and motion studies.
Now muscle performance can be monitored away from the laboratory in unconstrained environments. The complete instrument can be worn around the waist and weighs approximately one kilogram. It is now possible to monitor muscle activity during a tennis serve, a baseball pitch, or a golf swing.
All of the company's systems use an active parallel bar electrode. This type of electrode requires no skin preparation or conductive gel. Two of these electrodes are offered for the Delsys Bagnoli-series EMG systems: a two-bar differential electrode and a three-bar double differential electrode. The three-bar electrode is particularly useful for reducing the cross-talk from overlapping signals of adjacent muscles. The Bagnoli-series in the Delsys product line consists of 2-, 4-, and 8-channel systems. The MyoMonitor uses a two-bar single differential electrode.
During vigorous activity, the movement of the skin causes electrode detection surfaces to become compromised. Because of the accumulation of sweat, for instance, EMG signals become contaminated. This makes the electrode-skin interface the limiting factor in traditional EMG equipment. The MyoMonitor's capacity for detection is significant because it can monitor muscle activity, despite rigorous conditions. The system has an easy-to-apply, effective electrode-skin interface that facilitates the uncontaminated detection of EMG signals. The ability to make such recordings, for example, enables novel experiments aboard the International Space Station for investigating the effect of microgravity on muscle performance.
Once collected, data can be transferred to a regular personal computer and analyzed with the EMGworks® software package, which provides real-time data collection and a comprehensive suite of analysis programs. These products are proof of the company's goal of providing the highest quality EMG equipment and promoting the proper use of surface electromyography. Additionally, the company actively seeks partners for developing EMG-based consumer products.

Browsing the Wikipedia I found by chance this Air Alpes image. Now, Air Alpes was one of the more interesting little regional carriers in France. It was known because of its ferry flights to mountain "altiports", carrying ski teams and gear. There are several pictures there, including this Air Alpes apparition in a comic book. This is a good example of the kind of unthinkable regional aviation today, based on both economical and environment reasons. Towards the end of its lifespan, however, Air Alpes became a more "standard" regional airline that flew some routes on behalf of Air France.

The island airstrip, which was several million dollars over budget and a year behind schedule, has been celebrated by some and cursed by others who fret the airport will bring an influx of tourists and change the atmosphere of the sleepy yet funky island. But for the time being, the “influx” of tourists will be measured in the dozens —and that is if both flights are completely full.
According to La Costeña’s flight schedule, Ometepe’s airport will receive only two weekly flights on puddle jumpers from Managua. If both flights are totally booked, that means 24 tourists a week.
The government says Costa Rica and Guatemala are interested in adding international flights at some point in the future.
But for now, the only flight is a 20-minute domestic up-down from Managua, offered on Thursday and Sunday at noon. From Ometepe, the flight continues on to San Carlos, on the shore of the Río San Juan. The Ometepe- Managua return flight is offered on Thursday and Sunday at 3:02 p.m., according to La Costeña’s flight schedule.
Airfare costs $65 one-way, or $100 roundtrip. Call La Costeña at (505) 2263-2142 (ex. 71) for reservations. | aerospace |
