Flight instructor Steven Chanter was in the air with a student pilot when the plane’s engine began to fail and the oil pressure dropped.
Chanter told WOOD-TV that he took over flying and had little time to decide where to land the plane as he didn’t think they would make it to a nearby airport in the village Sparta.
He managed to fly the plane under traffic lights at an intersection and land on state highway 37.
“Truly, God’s watching over us,” Chanter said.
No one was injured during the emergency landing. The plane has been removed from the highway.

Its customer portfolio includes more than 200 nationally and internationally renowned airlines.
In a virtual reality environment, participants fulfill tasks that are specifically tailored to the training plan of the cabin crew. NMY developed the Pre-Flight Cabin Check training module, the first-ever VR safety training program, which over 20,000 flight attendants from all over the world complete in Frankfurt and Munich each year. More training modules and simulations, such as Galley & Service Training, Emergency & First Aid Simulations, Aircraft Familiarization, and Pilot Training, are being planned.
In the new Virtual Aviation Training, we merge simulation with instructional design and gamification, thereby going beyond the limits of conventional ways of learning. The concept of VR training provides maximum convenience, safety, and motivation. For this purpose, NMY developed an internationally compatible VR operating concept in which users interact intuitively in the virtual training room using natural hand gestures – without any hindrances from controllers and cables.
Despite intense activity, the smooth flow of the training program at two locations, each with 18 VR booths, is ensured using a training system with an associated command and control station. This control center for the panel operator enables monitoring of all training progress and communication with the participants using live voice chat. Furthermore, we have networked all the VR hardware and technology using a smart backend so that we can perform updates and remote services worldwide 24/7.
Orientation, fun, and familiarity for the training program is provided by the 3D robot VIA. The virtual assistant language robot is a recurring element from Lufthansa’s corporate mixed-reality identity, developed by NMY. Acting both as a provider of emotional support and a focal point for the trainees, VIA is always ready with assistance, tips, and motivation.
With immersive, high-quality training simulations in a realistic environment, our client gets a sustainable training tool. Virtual reality-based training programs are scalable, reproducible, and provide the simple implementation of training measures over the long term. Lufthansa Aviation Training can now perform resource-conserving training programs at any time and whenever needed, and also continuously improve the quality of service on the plane – a win-win situation for Lufthansa Aviation Training, flight attendants, and ultimately also the passengers. | aerospace |

XF-90 1/72 ANIGRAND RESIN Kit!
My inspiration for this build!
The Lockheed XF-90 was built in response to a United States Air Force requirement for a long-range penetration fighter and bomber escort. The same requirement produced the McDonnell XF-88 Voodoo. Lockheed received a contract for two prototype XP-90s (later redesignated XF-90). The design was developed by Willis Hawkins and the Skunk Works team under Kelly Johnson. Two prototypes were built (s/n 48-687 and -688). Developmental and political difficulties delayed the first flight until 3 June 1949, with chief test pilot Tony LeVier at the controls. Performance of the design was considered inadequate, and the XF-90 never entered production.
Just about ready for the paint shop!
An unusual problem developed. On spraying the desired MM Glossy Black Enamel on to the resin surface, hundreds of microscopic pin holes opened up on the surface, creating "fish eyes" in the glossy black. I stripped off the black (brake fluid), washed the resin with mineral spirits, terpenol, and acetone. I then sprayed on Alclad Gray Primer, 2 coats, sanding between. There were several stubborn clusters of pin holes that I finally sealed shut with many applications of very thin Testors Glosscote, and gray primer, sanding multiple times with 2000 wet dry paper.
The panel lines were kept open with a Tam "P" cutter scriber.
MM Glossy Black Enamel applied on top of the primer. The panel lines seem to have become exagerated, perhaps by the GBE not wanting to flow into the grooves but rather building up on the groove peaks!
Masked and Alclad Air Frame Aluminum added!
Adding Alclad metal shades on some panels. From the rear toward the front: Steel, Aztec Bronze, White Aluminum, Aluminum, Steel, Steel Nose Cone, with Aluminum under and behind. I experimented with some shading attempts with Steel, on the leading section of each panel (except on the bronze)! A bit hard to see with interference from the lighting reflections in the pic here! I'm not totally pleased with the results, but this is a way to practice and develop my skills! Using the 0.02 Noz for the panels, and the 0.15 for the shading. The spine and part of the rudder will eventually be red! The pitot tube will be added later to the socket for it shown here.
Alclad blend of Chrome and Clear yellow applied (I have gotten nicer results using Airframe Aluminum instead of the Chrome). Stainless Steel, Magnesium panels added. Steel panel shading blended in. Next the wing tanks will be Chromed, and Red added! The object here is to tone down the "Wings" a bit as there is enough visual excitement going on in the Fuselage!
Wing tanks Chromed (Alclad) and masked .Dolled up a bit with some Gunze Clear Red!

NASA’s Curiosity Rover just celebrated the galaxy’s loneliest birthday, “singing” to itself in a Martian crater, 208 million miles from home.
Monday marked the one-year anniversary of the rover’s landing on the Red Planet, and to celebrate, NASA scientists at the Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt programmed it to play a little tune. It’s not “playing,” technically — as NASA technologist Florence Tan explains in an accompanying video, the rover’s sample analysis unit vibrates at different frequencies to move soil samples. Normally, those vibrations sound remarkably like the noises robots make in Disney’s Wall-E, but when you string them all together, something similar to “Happy Birthday” results. (Fun trivia: Warner/Chappell owns the copyright to the “Happy Birthday” song — but maybe not in space.)

Along with JetBlue Airways Corp. and International Aero Engines, they plan to produce fuel from vegetation and algae-based oils that do not compete with existing food production or land and water resources.
The biofuel would be able to run existing jet engines and auxiliary power units of commercial airliners.
Testing of the biofuel in the APUs, which run the airplane’s systems when it’s on the ground and the jets are turned off, will take place at Honeywell’s Aerospace division at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport.
Each company in the partnership will invest time and intellectual property into developing a biofuel that can be sold to refiners or others interested in producing it, said Airbus spokesman Clay McConnell.
Currently, commercial airlines run their planes on kerosene, though some alternative fuels are being tested.
The goal of the project is to test the biofuel on an actual aircraft within 24 months, said Honeywell spokeswoman Karen Crabtree.
President Bush in December signed an energy bill that requires refineries to use 36 billion gallons of ethanol a year by 2022 with at least 21 billion gallons of the alternative fuel coming from nonfood raw materials.
The U.S. currently produces nearly 7 billion gallons of ethanol annually, all from corn. Critics say reliance on that crop has helped inflate food prices, while skeptics note there is no way to know when biofuels from other sources will be commercially available.
Airbus and its partners are undeterred.
“In order to replace a significant portion of that jet fuel with bio-jet, we need to find something that has much greater yield than the current biomass sources available,” Sebastien Remy, head of alternative fuels research programs for Airbus, said in a release. “Airbus believes that second-generation bio-jet could provide up to 30 percent of all commercial aviation jet fuel by 2030.”
Honeywell UOP, based in Des Plaines, Ill, has created a process to convert biological material into renewable jet fuel that performs like traditional fuel and meets flight performance specifications.
Honeywell UOP last June was selected by the federal Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency to develop and commercialize production of jet fuel from the same renewable sources for use by U.S. and NATO military aircraft. That process will be completed by the end of this year and “we see no issue with the technology working on the commercial side,” Honeywell UOP spokeswoman Susan Gross said Thursday.

Scientists already know there is water on Mars, in ice that caps the north pole, frost seen at high latitudes and wispy clouds crowding the planet’s highest peaks.
Far more extensive amounts of water, even massive glaciers, could emerge from behind the dusty veil that cloaks the Red Planet, once the 2001 Mars Odyssey begins its 917-day science mission on or around Feb. 20.
“You have a vast region that is perhaps just loaded with water,” said William Feldman of the Los Alamos National Laboratory, a scientist on the $300 million National Aeronautics and Space Administration mission.
The possibility charges scientists because it would support theories that the planet was once — and may still be — a wet world hospitable to life. On Earth, life is found wherever there is water, nutrients and a source of energy; the same rule may hold true elsewhere in the solar system.
Today, Mars abounds with evidence that torrents of water once flowed across its surface, carving channels, flooding plains and weeping from steep crater walls.
Whether that water remains locked within the planet or was lost to space remains a mystery. Scientists believe Odyssey, and its ability to sniff out the hydrogen bound to oxygen that forms water, can provide an answer.
“That would make it very exciting, that there are still gobs and gobs of water there,” said William Boynton of the University of Arizona’s Lunar and Planetary Laboratory, another Odyssey scientist.
Rather than dig into Mars, Odyssey will scout from afar, as the satellite orbits the planet at an average distance of about 250 miles.
Using its thermal emission imaging system and a combination gamma ray spectrometer and neutron detector, the robotic probe will peer down on — and into — Mars. A third instrument, designed to monitor the radiation environment, has malfunctioned.
As it orbits Mars every two hours, the spacecraft will use its instruments to map the distribution of chemicals and minerals in the top three feet or so of the surface of the planet. Among the 20 elements it can detect is hydrogen, which indicates the likely presence of water.
“As long as it’s within a meter of the surface we are going to see it,” Boynton said.
The frozen water is most likely mixed with dirt to form a permafrost similar to that found in the Alaskan tundra. On Mars, the deposits are probably scattered near the poles, in cold regions that receive less sunlight than those closer to the equator. Odyssey should determine how close to the equator those deposits extend.
“We suspect, and I think we’ll find out very soon an answer, that there are lots of places where there is water ice frozen in the soil,” said Jeff Plaut, the mission’s deputy project scientist at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Tracking down where the water has gone remains a key goal of NASA’s Mars program. | aerospace |

It is the most powerful telescope that has ever been built and will allow astronomers to study the beginning of the universe shortly after the Big Bang. The project to launch the telescope has taken more than 20 years, involving more than 10,000 people from 14 countries all over the world. The telescope was launched on the Ariane 5 rocket from Guiana Space Centre in French Guiana. It travelled for 29 days until it was placed into an orbit 1.5 million kilometres away from earth.
It is hoped that the telescope will provide a clear picture of the first stars and reveal the atmospheres of exoplanets. It is intended to be the successor to the Hubble Space Telescope and is 100 times more powerful. The telescope takes its name from James Webb, a former NASA administrator.
IMI Thompson Valves supplied valves for the engine of the Ariane 5 rocket. The valves needed to meet the most stringent of quality checks before being accepted.
The launch was successful due to the huge collective effort of NASA, the European Space Agency, The National Centre for Space Studies (CNES) in France, Arianespace, and ArianeGroup. IMI Thomson Valves supplied the parts to ArianeGroup directly. | aerospace |

Blade 120 SR RTF RC Helicopter (Mode 2)
Great little heli, flies well straight out of the box. Easy to fly with a little practise even for a beginner. I used a simulator to get the basics first. Heli is well made (good quality plastic) and pretty tough and can stand a few rough landings (crashes). I have flown outdoors in light winds (3mph) and I'm sure a more experienced pilot could handle more. The service from Wonderland Models was first class with fast shipping and a very good price. All in all a very satisfied customer.

This comes a month after Akasa Air, which is backed by ace investor Rakesh Jhunjhunwala and aviation veterans Aditya Ghosh and Vinay Dube, got its air operator certificate from the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) on July 7.Also Read – Domestic Flights: Akasa Air Announces Flights On Bengaluru-Mumbai Route From August 19 | Full Schedule Here
Jhunjhunwala, who was present at the Mumbai airport, said in his speech: “I must thank you (Scindia) because people say that India has a very very bad bureaucracy but the cooperation that the Ministry of Civil Aviation has given us, it is unbelievable.”
Nowhere in the world has an airline been conceived and born in 12 months, he added. “Normally a child is born in 9 months, we took 12 months. It would not have been possible without the cooperation of the Ministry of Civil Aviation,” he noted.
The airline’s inaugural flight operated this morning. Aviation Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia on Sunday virtually flagged off Akasa Air’s first commercial flight. Scindia said this indeed is a “new dawn” for the civil aviation sector in India in more ways than one.
“The sector across the world has been through a very trying time through the last decade or two. Many black swan events have turned the fate of this industry globally,” he said.
In India, this was a sector that once saw a plethora of new entrants, new entrepreneurs and new ideas. But over the past decade, it has witnessed a closure of many visionary airlines, he noted. “Therefore, I say this is a new dawn in many ways for our sector in India,” he said.
“In this new environment, I would like to welcome Akasa Air,” he said. “Akasa, too, has got a very ambitious plan in place. You plan to grow to 72 aircraft in the next five years…I am sure that every part of India will be connected by Akasa Air’s flights,” he said.
Jet Airways sends best wishes to Akasa Air
Jet Airways wished Akasa Air on its inaugural flight and said the airline was looking forward to joining the Rakesh Jhunjhunwala-backed airline in the sky.
“From all of us at Jet Airways, we wish you all success @AkasaAir ! Today is your day, and your sky! Look forward to joining you there soon! 🙂,” Jet Airways said on Twitter.

Obama outlines space program that would take crew beyond the moon.

By Stephen Ornes
Forget the moon: We’re headed to Mars.
That’s one message President Obama delivered on April 15, during a speech about the future of the U.S. space program. The president’s plans do not involve a return trip to the moon, which humans have not visited since 1972. But they do include a trip to an asteroid and, eventually, to Mars.
Obama spoke at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center near Orlando, Fla., which is where space shuttles blast off (on the back of powerful rockets) and often la...

Five day’s worth of malfunctions and problems with the new aircraft has now continued into a second week with a Tokyo-bound ANA flight landing after smoke was seen in the cockpit.
ANA and JAL are among Boeing’s most important customers, having placed a combined total of 111 of the new 787 Dreamliners. Following the news of Wednesday’s incident, both airlines announced they were taking the airplanes out of operation for safety inspections. ANA currently has 17 in operation, while JAL has seven. Spokesmen from ANA haven’t commented about the sightings of smoke, but they said a problem with the battery system resulted in an error message displayed in the cockpit. While the passengers and crew had to use the emergency exit chutes after the plane landed, none of the 138 people on board were injured.
ANA has said it is “aware” of the troubling series of incidents involving the Boeing 787 over the last week, but adds that it is not ready to comment about the emergency landing or if today’s malfunction is related to any previous problems. While some of the other issues have been relatively minor, such as a cracked windshield or a leaking fuel valve, the others have included a malfunctioning brake system and, even more alarming, a fire breaking out in the battery compartment just after a JAL flight landed in Boston. Flight regulators in both the U.S. and Japan are launching their own investigations, spurred by a growing concern from travelers. | aerospace |

AeroSHARK was developed by aviation maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) provider Lufthansa Technik and chemicals and materials company BASF. The surface film mimics the fine structure of a shark’s skin, with a structure consisting of riblets measuring around 50 micrometers, resulting in optimized aerodynamics on flow-related parts of the aircraft.
Christina Foerster, Member of the Executive Board of Deutsche Lufthansa AG with responsibility for sustainability, said:
“Responsibility for the environment and society is a key strategic topic for us. We have always played a leading role in introducing environmentally friendly technologies. The new sharkskin technology for aircraft shows what strong and highly innovative partners can achieve collectively for the environment. This will help us to achieve our goal of climate neutrality by 2050.”
Air transport has come under increasing scrutiny in recent years as a significant contributor to GHG emissions. According to European Commission estimates, aviation accounts for 2% of global GHG emissions. Without efficiency improvements, aviation emissions are likely to increase along with the steady rise in air travel expected over the next several decades. Industry participants and associations have launched numerous initiatives to address aviation’s impact, targeting areas including improvements in aircraft and engine technologies, use of sustainable aviation fuels (SAF), implementing economic measures such as emissions trading and offsetting schemes, and improvements in air traffic management and aircraft operations.
Dr. Markus Kamieth, Member of the Board of Executive Directors of BASF, said:
“The aviation industry is facing similar challenges to the chemical industry: ongoing progress must be made with climate protection despite high energy requirements. By collaborating closely and successfully combining our know-how in surface design and aerodynamics, we have now succeeded in taking a major step forward. This is an excellent example of sustainability in practice, achieved through partnership-based collaboration and innovative technologies.”
According to Lufthansa Technik, the drag reduction from the new surface film will result in estimated annual savings of around 3,700 tons of kerosene and just under 11,700 tons of CO2 emissions when deployed on Lufthansa Cargo’s Boeing 777F freighter fleet.
Dr. Johannes Bussmann, Chief Executive Officer of Lufthansa Technik AG said:
“We have always used our wealth of expertise as a global market leader in technical aircraft services to also contribute to reducing the ecological footprint of our industry. In doing so, we can leverage significant savings potential from all aircraft generations. I am therefore very proud that we will soon be able to transfer the positive findings of the validation phase into the series application with Lufthansa Cargo. The extremely constructive collaboration with BASF is also the best example of cross-sector cooperation in the interest of the sustainability of the aviation industry.”
Dorothea von Boxberg, Chief Executive Officer of Lufthansa Cargo AG, added:
“We are proud that we will now be able to operate our entire freighter fleet even more efficiently in the future thanks to sharkskin technology and reduce the carbon footprint of our modern fleet further. The investments we have made in rolling out AeroSHARK at Lufthansa Cargo consciously reaffirm our commitment to the United Nation’s sustainable development goal on climate action.” | aerospace |

Posted Dec 5, 2023 11:52:12 AM.
Last Updated Dec 5, 2023 11:56:23 AM.
LONDON (AP) — You won’t see Tom Hanks on one of those space tourism flights that whisk celebrities and millionaires on a suborbital jaunt for a few hours. He says it wouldn’t be enough time out of this world.
“I don’t need to go up and down,” Hanks said Tuesday. “I think I’d need a little bit longer in paradise.”
Going to the moon is another matter – and the subject of “The Moonwalkers,” an immersive documentary co-written and narrated by Hanks.
“I’d do that in a second,” Hanks said. “I don’t have the math. I do not have those abilities, but I’m sure there’s something I could do in order to help the program.”
The two-time Academy Award-winning actor is a lifelong space buff, and he has channeled his passion into “The Moonwalkers,” which opens Wednesday at the Lightroom, a London venue specializing in interactive art and film experiences.
Visitors sit on benches surrounded by imagery as the 50-minute film brings NASA’s Apollo space missions to life. The focus is on the 12 men who walked on the moon between 1969 and 1972, the thousands of people who helped them get there and a new generation of astronauts set to return to the moon as part of the Artemis program.
It’s a high-tech blend of archive film footage, drawings, animation and digitally remastered photographs — but not, Hanks stresses, any computer-generated images.
“Every photograph, every image was a photograph taken by a human of the subject,” Hanks told The Associated Press as he sat in the venue in front of a giant lunar landscape. “So there’s nothing fake.”
“The Moonwalkers,” which runs to April 21, 2024, is subtitled “a journey with Tom Hanks.” The actor narrates in his warm, avuncular style and co-wrote the script with British documentary filmmaker Christopher Riley.
The space race is presented as a deeply humanist endeavor that represents humanity’s unquenchable curiosity and desire to do things – as President John F. Kennedy said of the moonshot – “not because they are easy but because they are hard.”
Hanks, 67, has been enthralled by lunar exploration since he was a kid trying to simulate zero gravity by sitting at the bottom of a backyard swimming pool. His performance as Jim Lovell, commander of a space mission in jeopardy, in “Apollo 13” helped revive popular interest in the Apollo program in the 1990s.
Perhaps the signs were there early on that he’d become an actor, not an astronaut. What hooked Hanks on space was not so much the cutting-edge science as the human drama. His interest is in the people up there.
“The science is cool, when you can grasp what the science is, but the science always goes hand in hand with, you know — Do they drink coffee up there? Do they have hot water? Do they need a shave?”
Hanks said the first time he was entranced by space was as a 12-year-old in 1968, seeing an image on his TV of the Earth beamed live from the Apollo 8 spacecraft orbiting the moon.
“It was a live broadcast, and you could see the cloud, you could see the gray of the ocean, you could see the darker gray of the land,” he said, recalling his amazement that he was seeing “this great saga” on the same TV he used to watch “Batman” and John Wayne movies.
“I didn’t view it as politics. I didn’t view it as news. I viewed it as something that was like a great adventure out of Jason and the Argonauts … a storytelling artistic achievement equal to all of the technological brilliance.”
“The Moonwalkers” includes interviews with the four astronauts due to join the Artemis II mission, humanity’s first foray moonward in half a century.
Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch and Jeremy Hansen are due to fly NASA’s Orion capsule on the first crewed Artemis mission, launching from Kennedy Space Center no earlier than late 2024. They will not land, but will fly around the moon and head back to Earth, a prelude to a lunar landing by two others a year later.
Consummate team players, the Artemis crew members say they would be thrilled by the new lunar program even if they had not been selected for the mission.
“I would be just as excited to watch at home in my pajamas,” said Glover, who will be NASA’s first African American lunar astronaut. “It’s just amazing that we’re sending humans back to the moon.”
Koch, the first woman to go on a moon mission, said Artemis is the start of a journey that will lead humans – some years from now – to Mars.
“I think we will go to Mars because we can answer one of the most fundamental questions that we all have there, which is, are we alone?” she said. “Everywhere I go, people ask me that question and what we think about that question. We’re going to go there because our best chance of knowing the answer to that is there.”

and now I can announce that their AS REAL AS CAN BE series of the
most realistic jet airliners I have ever seen for the Flightsim world
Two Collections are available now. The aircraft are all 767-300
models, and as you can see have the most accurate, detailed, scale parts
on any airliner made for MS Flightsim 5 or FSFW95. Real airliner buffs
will notice that these planes are just like 3D blueprints of the real
thing. Accurate placing of doors, windows, markings, lights, control
surfaces, landing gear, tires, struts and more! And it's all to real
scale. Each piece! I have never seen such great craftsmanship in any
modern airliner. I often find myself just staring at these in awe, and
not even flying them - because they are so beautiful.
The North American Collection includes 767-300s of American, TWA,
United, Air Canada, Canadian and more. The European Edition includes
767-300s of Air France, British Airways, SAS, KLM and more. As you can
see, on some of the aircraft, the paint actually shines!
Not only do you get the greatest looking airliners, perhaps the most
important feature is how they fly. Well, I can say with confidence I
have deleted all other 3rd party aircraft off my flightsim directory
after using the As Real As Can Be collections! I never thought I
would say that, but these two designers have done the best I believe can
possibly be done with airliner design. The flight model was so stable
and refined.. I didn't think I was flying Flightsim! Many real airline
pilots who have tested these aircraft claim these fly sooooo real, that
they too are astonished this is really a Flightsim product! You too will
be amazed, and be speechless! Just think... you will fly these heavy
jets and notice you rarely even need trim anymore... and making the hair
raising IGS 13 approach in Hong Kong will be done with great precision
and accuracy like never before... just like real!
To top off the great set of aircraft, you will receive with the European
Collection, the great new 757 / 767 panel as well. This panel resembles
more of a real 757 / 767 panel than does the excellent 777 panel we have
all grown to love. The 767 panel as seen here performs well and
troublefree. The only thing I didn't like was the artificial horizon
indicator. It was from the Cessna. However upon examining it closely, I
realise what I was seeing was an attempt to recreate the digital round
artifical horizon found on the modern glass-cockpit boeing 757 and 767.
With this in mind, I didn't mind it as much. Due to flightsim
restrictions, we have yet to see an actual moving map display on the
other EFIS tube; what you'll get is the traditional VOR #1 display.
Both Collections come with another goodie! Several fabulous Adventures.
These adventures are accurately done from real ATC arrival routings and
approach plates. The clearances you receive are the ones the real
flights will get, and the vectors to the arrival are normal real-life
vectors and will bring you precisely onto the final LOC interception
allowing even novice airline pilots to make really wonderful approaches.
This product really gets me excited about what these two have in store
for us in the future. The aircraft and adventures here will easily be
converted with the Microsoft
FSFW95 converter program found here on FlightSim.Com. I am happy to
say these 767s fly just about as great as they did in FS5.
AS REAL AS CAN BE is busily working on more airliners, panels
and adventures. I had a peek at some of the 777s they have made, and as
expected... all I can say is Wow!

No particular major is required for flight attendants, but one closely related to travel or customer service provides an advantage, according to the BLS. Appropriate majors include communications, public relations or hospitality and tourism.Do you have what it takes to be a flight attendant?
In order to become a flight attendant, someone must usually have at least a high school diploma. Flight attendants are trained in facilities maintained by the airlines they work for, usually after passing a physical examination and a background check, and then they start work at the bottom of the airline's totem pole.What are the duties and responsibilities of a flight attendant?
A flight attendant’s most important responsibility, however, is to help passengers in the event of an emergency. This responsibility ranges from dealing with unruly passengers to performing first aid, fighting fires, and directing evacuations.How do you apply for flight attendant?
Becoming a Flight Attendant Research airlines to find job openings. Go to the websites of airlines that appeal to you and find their “careers” page. Apply to open jobs. Most airlines will require that you submit an application with your basic information, a resume, and sometimes a cover letter. Ace your interviews. | aerospace |

The minute particulars of rogue drone’s actions within the air might unwittingly reveal the drone pilot’s location — probably enabling authorities to carry the drone down earlier than, say, it has the chance to disrupt air site visitors or trigger an accident. And it is attainable with out requiring costly arrays of radio triangulation and signal-location antennas. So says a group of Israeli researchers who’ve skilled an AI drone-tracking algorithm to disclose the drone operator’s whereabouts, with a greater than 80% accuracy stage. They’re now investigating whether or not the algorithm may also uncover the pilot’s stage of experience and even probably their identification…
Relying on the precise terrain at any given airport, a pilot working a drone close to a camouflaging patch of forest, as an example, may need an unobstructed view of the runway. However that location may also be an extended distance away, probably making the operator extra vulnerable to errors in exact monitoring of the drone. Whereas a pilot working nearer to the runway might not make those self same monitoring errors however may additionally must cope with massive blind spots due to their proximity to, say, a parking storage or management tower. And in each case, he mentioned, easy geometry might start to disclose necessary clues a couple of pilot’s location, too. When a drone is way sufficient away, movement alongside a pilot’s line of sight may be tougher for the pilot to detect than movement perpendicular to their line of sight. This additionally might turn into a major think about an AI algorithm working to find pilot location from a specific drone flight sample.
The sum complete of those numerous terrain-specific and terrain-agnostic results, then, could possibly be a large finger pointing to the operator.

Looking beyond the target or, sometimes, in front of it.
When photographing aircraft, especially air-to-air, it is important to plan and shoot considering something beyond the aircraft you are putting in your frame. That is, the rest of the frame; the background. An airplane photographed in a sky can be interesting, especially if the angle, lighting, or other elements are working, but a pretty plane against an uninteresting, or worse, distracting, background is failing to bring context and meaning — it ends up being just a picture of an airplane or, in that worse case, an airplane competing for attention with a distracting background.
Above, an MD 600N captured against an orange grove puts the aircraft in a place, which leads to a more complete "story," even if one is not specifically being told. And stories are interesting, which means people spend more time looking at them.
So, plan for the best and work with what you've got. Good advice in any field.
(Side Note: The pilot of the MD 530F lost sight of me as he maneuvered away and then returned to pick me up. We were not in radio contact, so for a while he thought he'd have to come back after he refueled. I guess I should not have worn desert camo… (I didn't.) Oops!)

This is a motion for a preliminary injunction by plaintiff union, Flight Engineers International Association, against defendant, Eastern Air Lines, Inc. It grows out of a tangled labor dispute involving effects of technological change, featherbedding and rival union jurisdiction. Both parties, at different stages of the lengthy negotiations, have exhibited something less than an acute awareness of the needs of the public. For the reasons set forth below, the injunction is denied. However, such denial of relief sought by the Flight Engineers reflects no approval of Eastern's action in refusing to accept the most recent settlement proposal of Secretary of Labor Goldberg, as set forth in the papers before me.
The facts as they appear from the verified complaint and Eastern's detailed affidavit in opposition
are the following. The Flight Engineers and Eastern entered into a collective bargaining agreement on December 31, 1958, to be effective the next day. This agreement was to continue in force until April 1, 1960, renewable thereafter on a yearly basis unless notice of a desire to change the agreement was served by either party on the other prior to April 1 of any year, as required by Section 6 of the Railway Labor Act, 45 U.S.C.A. § 156 (the 'Act').
On February 8, 1960, the Flight Engineers served upon Eastern such a 'section 6' notice.
Eastern responded by serving a similar notice four days later.
Both notices were couched in general terms, without articulation of the specific changes in the agreement desired by either party. However, in April 1960, the parties did exchange detailed proposals of changes desired in the agreement. After extensive negotiations based on these proposals failed to yield a settlement, the parties, in July 1960, resorted to the mediation services of the National Mediation Board, as provided for under the Act.
The case was docketed by the National Mediation Board in July, and the Board proceeded to mediate the dispute.
In the ensuing year, issues were injected into the negotiations which have since become the crucial ones and which were not included in the original 'section 6' notices served in February 1960. Prior to that time, Eastern had signed an agreement with another union, the Air Line Pilots Association, which included provision for a cockpit crew of three pilots on jet planes. The government regulations applicable to Eastern's operations require that jet aircraft and four-engine propeller aircraft carry a basic cockpit crew of three airmen, two of whom must be qualified air pilots and one of whom must possess a Flight Engineer's Certificate issued by the Federal Aviation Agency ('FAA'). The contract between Eastern and the Flight Engineers provided that the latter would hold an FAA Airframe and Powerplant License ('A&P license' -- sometimes called an 'A&E license' the type required for ground mechanics) in addition to the FAA Flight Engineer's Certificate. The result of these contracts was that Eastern, along with other airlines, carried a basic cockpit crew of four men, one more than required by FAA regulations or desired by Eastern. Three of the four were pilots represented by the Air Line Pilots Association, and the other was a flight engineer, holding an A&P license, represented by the Flight Engineers.
On February 6, 1961, the National Mediation Board, in another case, held that pilots and flight engineers employed by United Air Lines constituted a single craft or class of employees for the purpose of collective bargaining under Section 2, Ninth of the Act, 45 U.S.C.A. 152, Ninth. On February 17, 1961, the Flight Engineers struck Eastern as well as several other airlines, seriously disrupting the operation of the nation's air transportation system. The strike ended shortly thereafter when, upon Secretary of Labor Goldberg's recommendation, President Kennedy established the so-called Feinsinger Commission to make recommendations with respect to a settlement of the parties' dispute over the crew complement problem. Both Eastern and the Flight Engineers (as well as the Air Line Pilots Association and other airlines) participated in the hearings before the Feinsinger Commission. The Commission issued a preliminary report on May 24, 1961, which stated, inter alia, that both the Flight Engineers and the Air Line Pilots Association agreed that a jet crew of three men was adequate and that:
'The most obvious solution to this problem is merger or some form of consolidation (of the two unions). In the considered opinion of the Commission, neither peace nor safety on the airlines will be fully assured as long as there are two unions in the cockpit.'
Failing to resolve the crew complement issue in a manner acceptable to all parties, the Feinsinger Commission made final recommendations to the President on October 17, 1961, for a solution to the issues before it.
From that time on, negotiations between Eastern and the Flight Engineers were concerned not only with the issues originally raised by the 'section 6' notices but also with the crew complement issue. Negotiations on the latter were carried on both under the auspices of the National Mediation Board at that agency's request,
and also with the assistance of Professor Feinsinger and Undersecretary of Labor Willard Wirtz. These negotiations continued intermittently until February 21, 1962. On that date, the Flight Engineers served a written strike notice on Eastern. The next day, President Kennedy, pursuant to Section 10 of the Act, 45 U.S.C.A. § 160, appointed Emergency Board No. 144 (the 'Emergency Board') to 'investigate certain unadjusted disputes' between Eastern and the Flight Engineers. On March 26, 1962, the Emergency Board convened hearings on the matter and filed its report on May 1, 1962.
Despite the Flight Engineers' opposition, the Emergency Board concluded that the issue of whether the recommendations of the Feinsinger Commission should be implemented had been submitted to it, and that those recommendations should be implemented by the Emergency Board since they were thought to be a 'critical part of this dispute (between the parties).'
Further negotiations between Eastern and the Flight Engineers failed to resolve the issues before them, and in late May the Flight Engineers served a strike notice effective at any time on or after June 1, 1962. On this date, thirty days after the Emergency Board report was issued to the President, the union was first legally free to strike under the Act, 45 U.S.C.A. § 160. In June, the parties met fruitlessly, and the Flight Engineers told Eastern that any new agreement had to provide that all men hired by Eastern in the future as flight engineers must have the A&P license, a position contrary to the Feinsinger and Emergency Board recommendations. Both parties, and the other airlines affected by the crew complement issue, were exhorted by Secretary Goldberg and President Kennedy in June to arbitrate all unresolved issues. On June 14, 1962, Eastern agreed to arbitrate but the Flight Engineers refused. On the same day, President Kennedy, at his press conference, strongly urged the Flight Engineers 'to either submit this case to arbitration or agree with the carriers on some other means of settling this dispute without any interruption of operations.'
Thereafter, the president of the Flight Engineers issued a press release which apparently 'offered' to submit to arbitration unresolved economic issues outstanding between Eastern and the union, although it expressly excluded submission of the crew complement issues. Further negotiations between the parties broke down shortly thereafter, and on June 23, 1962, the Flight Engineers struck Eastern. The day before, the National Mediation Board made a proffer of mediation to the union, which was rejected.
On June 23, 1962, the day the strike commenced, President Kennedy stated, among other things, that a sensible solution was open to both parties, and he cautioned the Flight Engineers that 'to persist in the strike course would be the height of irresponsibility on their part.' On the same day, George Meany, president of AFL-CIO, made an effort to avoid the strike and urged the union to resume negotiations. On June 25, 1962, at the request of the government, Eastern and the Flight Engineers met in Washington. A few days before, a strike between Trans World Airlines ('TWA') and the TWA chapter of the Flight Engineers had been settled. At the meetings in Washington, Eastern agreed to settle all unresolved issues, including the crew complement dispute, on the basis of the TWA settlement. The Flight Engineers rejected the offer and stated, in effect, that they would never give up the requirement of an A&P license.
On July 17, 1962, Eastern sent a letter to the president of the Eastern chapter of the Flight Engineers setting forth the severe economic losses it was suffering as a result of the strike. After stating that changed circumstances brought about by the strike necessitated modifications in offers previously made by Eastern to the union, Eastern withdrew its previous offers, and made modified proposals on the basis of which it would sign an agreement if the Flight Engineers accepted them in writing on or before July 18, 1962. The letter also stated that if acceptance were not received by 6 P.M. on July 18, Eastern would offer the same terms and conditions to all of the flight engineers; those who did not return to work on or before July 24, 1962 and agree to receive pilot-engineer training as recommended by the Feinsinger Commission would be permanently replaced as rapidly as possible. On July 19, 1962, Eastern called 80 jet copilots into immediate training to complete their qualifications for a Flight Engineer's Certificate. It also advised all Eastern flight engineers that anyone reporting to work on or before July 24, 1962 would not lose his job to any copilot receiving such training.
From July 17 to July 19, Eastern and the Flight Engineers met with Undersecretary Wirtz and Professor Feinsinger to consider the crew complement and other unresolved issues. On July 23, 1962, at the request of Secretary Goldberg, further talks were held. At their conclusion, Secretary Goldberg proposed a method for settling the dispute. According to the record before me, the Secretary recommended that the parties agree to arbitrate all unresolved economic issues. He did not recommend that the crew complement issue be submitted to arbitration, but proposed that 'upon receipt of the arbitration award of the unresolved economic issues' the parties 'will complete agreement regarding the crew complement issue within the framework of the heretofore agreed-upon basic principles and subject to the concurrence of the Eastern Airlines Pilots.' The Secretary stated that he and other governmental officials and agencies would assist the parties in reaching agreement on the crew complement issue, and that 'any crew complement issue not resolved is to be finally settled by such procedures as they shall prescribe.' Finally, the Secretary recommended immediate cancellation of the Flight Engineers' strike and resumption of operations by Eastern. The same day, Eastern informed the Secretary that it could not accept the proposal, principally on the ground that the solution to the crew complement issue was 'still one that will not immediately include or definitely bind the pilots.' It further stated that after strikes by the Flight Engineers over this very issue, 'we cannot accept the solution that amounts to a 'truce' * * * with no assurance of pilot acquiescence.'
The next day, the union accepted Secretary Goldberg's recommendation to submit the unresolved economic issues to arbitration. With regard to the crucial crew complement issue, the Flight Engineers proposed that the parties immediately 'write an agreement * * * regarding the crew complement issues within the framework of the already agreed-upon basic issues.'

Always a sweet surprise to look up and see the moon in plain daylight.
Going for a spin. The Lunar Module, rests in the background as either David Scott, the first to drive on the moon or Jim Irwin, the second, approaches the Lunar Rover, July 1971. Al Worden served as Command Module Pilot on the flight. The 12-day, 7 hour mission brought back the ‘Genesis Rock’ to the Lunar Sample Laboratory in Houston. The specimen, at least 4 billion years old, was formed in the early stages of the Solar System. A15 was the first ‘J Mission’ or 3-day lunar stay upon the moon.
“Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth.”
The sun is Generous
When she kisses your lips.
Your whole jaw loosens, melts, it
Is dripping, like butter,
into the sand.
Her sister’s ocean currents
Laugh and lap it up, warm streak
Laps it up,
Tide by tide.
The car’s not in the driveway! The Lunar Module seemingly has the moon to itself as astronauts John Young & Charlie Duke take out the Lunar Rover for a spin, Apr 1972. Backup for the mission were Fred Haise, Edgar Mitchell & Stuart Roosa. Original backup for the mission were Haise as Commander, William Pogue as Command Module Pilot & and Gerald Carr flying the Lunar Module. The trio were scheduled to fly Apollo 19. However, when Apollo 18 & 19 were canceled by NASA in Sept 1970, past Apollo astronauts were assigned A16 backup while Pogue & Carr went on to serve on the 1973 Skylab 4 mission.

Breitling jet team leader Jacques Bothelin said the team’s aerial display was an artistic expression.
“We give the public an emotive 25-minute performance with elegant manoeuvres, smoke, music and commentary,” he said.
VIP Tengku Panglima Besar Selangor Tengku Abdul Samad Shah and media personalities got a first-hand experience as they joined the pilots for a spin in the jets yesterday.
Radio announcer Jin Lim said the once-in-a-lifetime experience was awesome.
“I was allowed by my pilot to take control, and I got to do some barrel rolls! It was very exciting!” he exclaimed.
The jet team is the world’s largest civilian aerobatics team and is an ambassador for Swiss watchmaker Breitling.

The royal couple was travelling back to Britain from an official visit to Denmark in November (11) when the pilot of a plane they were travelling in was forced to take emergency action to avoid crashing into another aircraft at London's Heathrow Airport.
A source tells Britain's The People, "This really was a serious incident and would have been terrifying for those on board. The aircraft ahead of them hadn't cleared the runway in time for the plane carrying the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge to land... The pilot took the decision to ascend suddenly Âduring the approach and thankfully he was able to land safely."
A spokesman for British Airways confirmed the incident, but insisted safety procedures were correctly followed.
The representative says, "Our crew were told by air traffic control to perform a go-around - a perfectly Âstandard Âoperation with no safety Âimplications - because an aircraft from another Âairline hadn't fully cleared the runway.
"Safety is always our Âpriority and all our pilots are fully trained to deal with procedures of this kind. Our aircraft landed safely and Âcustomers left the plane as normal." | aerospace |

This week ends the Space Shuttle Program. 135 flights, 5 spacecraft built, 2 lost with crew. The accomplishments of the program are immense, launching satellites, building the International Space Station, repairing the Hubble Space Telescope and many, many more.
Last week The President marked the end of the program with these words:
“Well, this mission marks the final flight of the Space Shuttle Program and also ushers in an exciting new era, to push the frontiers of space exploration and human spaceflight.“
Is he on crack?
This is a new era of…..nothing. No manned spaceflight program, no new vehicles, no manned missions planned. Nothing. Just some vague words about someday going to Mars.
We have this fantastic space station orbiting earth. The biggest science lab to ever fly and we have no way of getting there and back. We have to ride with the Russians. We paid for most of their contribution to the ISS, and now we’re buying rides on their spacecraft.
Forty two years ago today, I watched men walk on the moon. I was excited and confident that I’d soon see men explore Mars. I’m not so hopeful any more. I’m sure it will happen, but may not be in my lifetime and, when it happens, they might not be Americans.
We need a President who can express a vision of the future that includes manned spaceflight. Someday people are going back to the Moon, someday they are going to Mars and beyond. I want those people to be Americans. I want to lead the way, not hitch a ride.
What has happened to the space program is a travesty.

The incident took place at the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) testing site, marking another setback in Japan’s space program.
The explosion happened approximately one minute into the test of the second stage engine, causing flames to shoot out of the testing facility. The ensuing fire engulfed the small building, resulting in the roof blowing off.
JAXA has experienced a series of failures, dampening its space ambitions. In March, their new medium-lift H-3 rocket’s second-stage engine failed to ignite as planned, leading to a self-destruct command. Furthermore, in October, the agency’s solid-fuel Epsilon-6 rocket also faced a failure. Additionally, in April, the lunar transport startup ispace’s Hakuto-R vehicle crashed during an attempted soft-landing on the moon, making it the first-ever such incident involving a private company.
The rocket engine explosion during the test at JAXA’s facility is the latest setback for Japan’s space program. The incident adds to a series of failures that have hindered their space ambitions, including previous rocket malfunctions and a crash landing on the moon. Fortunately, no injuries were reported during the explosion. | aerospace |

It's also hard to believe the fleet was retired without anything ready to replace it. I guess that's par for the course, considering they did the same thing when they retired the Saturn V that had carried the Apollo astronauts to the moon.
Rather than dwell on this lack of vision I'll look back to a happier day - April 14, 1981. That was the first landing of the orbiter Columbia. I was lucky to get a press pass to the landing site at Edwards Air Force Base, which helped me get around a massive traffic jam of people heading out there to be part of history. The designated area was just behind the TV crews, which meant there was a nice view of the Columbia as it came towards us.
Here's a view of the ABC News crew as we all waited for our first view of the Columbia.
Following the distinctive booms as the orbiter broke the sound barrier it was a thrill to see the Columbia heading towards us. It's only a very tiny dot in this picture, but at the speed it was moving it quickly took form.
The Columbia came to a stop right where they had told us it would. The crew of mission STS-1 was safely back on Earth.
Before the astronauts could exit the orbiter a team of technicians had to check it for leaks of any fuel or other chemicals that could have posed a danger. A van then went out to carry the crew off to their debriefing. | aerospace |

Old, damaged, outdated and sometimes historic aircraft need a large, low cost parking place where they can remain as they continue service by providing useful spare parts and equipment. What most people don’t realize is that an aircraft boneyard is not necessarily an aircraft “graveyard.” Many active or over-capacity aircraft are housed at boneyards as they await repairs and maintenance or until they are needed for service. These often remote and huge facilities may hold hundreds of aircraft of all models, ages and conditions. Some have been there for decades, while other sites hold large fleets of newer craft just waiting to be called to duty. For aviation professionals, they are an important asset in the planning and management of aircraft inventory. For aviation buffs, aircraft boneyards are some of the most coveted aircraft-related sites to explore.
What is an Aircraft Boneyard?
A boneyard is simply a large storage area for aircraft that have either been retired or are awaiting repairs. Most aircraft boneyards are in desert areas because the dry conditions reduce corrosion and rust, and the hard ground often eliminates the need for asphalt. Planes that have been retired to boneyards and are no longer in service are usually salvaged for parts and then ultimately scrapped. Planes that are awaiting repairs are stored at boneyards to save space at crowded airport hangars. The boneyard even attracts many aviation buffs who jump at the chance to see historical aircraft that may have been out of service for decades, such as bombers and fighters from World War II.
Five Important Aircraft Boneyards
Most American aircraft boneyards are located in the desert areas of the West, where the wide open space, dry air and hard ground provide ideal conditions. These are five of the biggest active boneyards in the Western US:
Davis-Monthan Air Force Base: This massive base is home to the 309th Air Force Materiel Command’s 309th Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Group (AMARG), better known as simply “the Boneyard.” This 2,600-acre site is within the Tucson, Arizona city limits. All excess US military planes are stored here. The site is also home to US government planes and out-of-service ballistic missiles. Davis-Monthan is known as the largest aircraft boneyard in the world, in terms of the sheer number of aircraft stored there.
Mojave Air and Spaceport: Located near the town of Mojave, California, this is a large storage and reclamation site for commercial airliners. It has evolved into a world class training, flight testing and research center. Close to Edwards Air Force Base, this facility provides ample room for flight testing new military aircraft. A number of private companies seeking to develop space flight aircraft are based at the Mojave Air and Space Port.
Phoenix Goodyear Airport: The Goodyear Airport is 20 miles away from downtown Phoenix. This boneyard is another site for storing commercial jetliners as they await repairs.
Southern California Logistics Airport: This site was formerly George Air Force Base, which was active off and on from 1941 to 1992. It’s located in Victorville, California. You can actually drive through some of the airport’s streets to catch a glimpse of the planes, but most of the areas are restricted.
Kingman Airport & Industrial Park: Located in Kingman, Arizona, at Kingman Army Air Field, established during World War II as a training site for B-17 gunners, and major disposal site for airplanes after the War. Today this 4,000-acre boneyard is another site for commercial aircraft restoration.
Touring an Aircraft Boneyard
Most aircraft boneyards are closed to the public. The only large boneyard in America that offers regular tours to the public is the AMARG site at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Arizona. Because it is a military site, visitors must obtain a security clearance before they can take a tour.
Tours are also available the Mojave Air and Space Port in the California Desert or you can take their online virtual tour.
The Role of the Aircraft Boneyard in Aviation Management
Aircraft storage is a challenge as every idle airplane need ample storage space when not in use. The aircraft boneyard provides a large space at relatively low storage cost in which to store retired, damaged, furloughed or excess aircraft not currently in use. Aircraft boneyards fill a vital need as they provide for easy access and retrieval of parts and aircraft. Some may include repair and maintenance facilities where the aircraft can be refurbished for return to use.
On arrival, an aircraft destined for permanent decommissioning may be stripped of its engine, useful parts and delicate electronics, all of which can be inventoried and stored for future use in other aircraft. Usually only the shell of the retired aircraft is permanently left in the harsh desert sun.
Other aircraft, such as excess inventory put in storage by commercial airlines or the military, may also be temporarily stored in the boneyard. Depending on the length of the stay, these aircraft will need some amount of refurbishment before they can be safely returned to active service. The cost of boneyard storage and refurbishment the aircraft is usually much lower than replacing the aircraft, making these locations good remote storage alternatives for aircraft inventory managers and maintenance teams.
Fabric Hangars for Aircraft Storage
Even though the dry desert conditions at boneyards are very good for preserving aircraft and preventing corrosion, these planes are still exposed to the elements. A boneyard, or any long term exposure to the elements, is not a practical storage solution for valuable aircraft that are still in service. Aircraft hangars are the best solution for keeping aircraft safe and in good condition. This is especially important in harsh climates, or when the aircraft will be unused for long periods of time but must be kept in flying condition. Hangars also provide a convenient and protected workspace to carry out repair and maintenance work.
To keep an individual or small inventory of valuable aircraft in flying condition and protected from wind and weather, fabric aircraft hangars are an affordable and convenient solution. For aircraft storage, or for use as MRO repair facilities, durable tension fabric hangars provide a fast and affordable space large enough to hold almost any aircraft. Allsite tension fabric structures feature a highly durable engineered aluminum frame and heavy PVC tensioned fabric to create an extremely sturdy, durable, all-weather structure that can temporary or permanent shelter to one or more aircraft.
An open span structure, Allsite fabric hangars can be constructed up to 54′ in height, and provide wingspan space ranging from 48′ to 156′. The aluminum frame provides a better strength-to-weight ratio than steel to better withstand the elements and avoid rust and corrosion. The frames are also sturdy enough to support lighting, fall protection gear and ventilation systems. Allsite’s hangars are easy to transport and install on the tarmac or on virtually any surface, even in remote locations. A separate foundation is not needed for the installation of an Allsite fabric hangar, which greatly reduces overall costs. These structures also provide excellent hangar solutions for remote airports where it can be more costly to transport building materials for traditional hangars.
Aircraft Storage Solutions
Solving aircraft storage can be an urgent problem for busy pilots and aviation-related businesses coping with fast changing market and industry conditions. Tension fabric structures provide reliable extra space quickly, when and where you need it, and at an affordable cost.

There's an old story about the time astronaut Alan Shepard Jr. flew into McCook on business only to be alarmed by a crowd of kids waiting at the terminal.
As it turned out, America's first man in space shouldn't have worried about his privacy. The kids, at the airport for an appearance of a TV spaceman, Major Astro, didn't notice the real spaceman walk by.
Shepard's visit, to a potential oil investment, was depicted in the HBO series, "From the Earth to the Moon." According to the segment, it was during a visit to McCook that he first experienced the inner-ear problem that grounded him for the rest of the 1960s, before a surgery returned him to flight status and a trip to the moon.
St. Francis is proud to be the birthplace of another Apollo astronaut, Ron Evans, and many other Kansans have participated in the space program. Nebraska connections to NASA are rare enough, however, that the naming of a Cornhusker for a trip into space is something to be proud of.
Several of us at the newspaper were privileged to hear just such a person, Clayton C. Anderson, speak at a press convention a few years back, and have been keeping an eye open for news about "our" astronaut.
That word came last week when Anderson was named to Expedition 15 to the International Space Station, set to launch on Space Shuttle Endeavour's STS-118 mission on June 2007.
A look at Anderson's biography reveals just how much dedication, talent and hard work goes into landing a seat in the Space Shuttle, let alone a stay in the ISS, as Anderson has done.
Born in Omaha and calling Ashland home, Anderson graduated from Ashland-Greenwood High School in 1977, earned a bachelor of science degree in physics from Hastings College in 1981, and graduated from Iowa State University with a master of science degree in aerospace engineering in 1983.
He joined the Johnson Space Center that year, working out rendezvous and trajectory details for early Space Shuttle and Space Station missions, and also worked on the Galileo and Magellan planetary missions and eventually became chief of the Flight Design Branch of NASA before being named an astronaut in 1998.
Think of it: 30 years of hard work while waiting for a chance to fly into space.
It's been a long time since most of us were excited enough about space flight to drag our parents to the airport for a chance to see a pretend astronaut.
Perhaps the knowledge that one of our own is circling overhead in that moving star that is the International Space Station will provide the inspiration for Nebraska's next generation of explorers, decades in the future. | aerospace |

RMAF chief General Tan Sri Rodzali Daud said RMAF pilots had also been sent to France several days ago to undergo training, using the new aircraft, before they are flown back to Malaysia.
"The last aircraft is expected to be delivered in January 2014. Two of the 12 aircraft will be placed at our base in Kuantan while the simulator for the new aircraft will be placed in Subang," he told reporters after handing flight wings to 41 officers who completed their training at the RMAF Base, here, today.
From the total, 25 of them, including two from the Royal Malaysian Navy, underwent advanced flight training for the Pilatus PC-7, and 16 in basic course for helicopter.
Three officers also received excellence awards during training, namely, Lt Muhammad Osman Mohd Sidek who received the Commander''s Cup for Education and Air Training (Best Academic), Lt Ezraini Azrin Khoo Mohamad Erwan Khoo (Air Force Commander''s Cup for Best Fixed Wing Flight) and Lt M Khairul Azwan Ismail received the (Nuri Cup for Best Helicopter Flight).
In addition, Rodzali said RMAF was expected to receive four new A400M aircraft to replace the Charlie aircraft in January 2015.
He said all the new aircraft would be delivered in stages and the last aircraft was currently still being put together in France.
In another development, Rodzali said RMAF was planning to replace its training aircraft with new ones that are equipped with the latest technology.
"Indeed, we have such a plan and are waiting for an allocation. The existing ones are old and need to be replaced," he added. | aerospace |

|Written by RT|
|Sunday, 14 October 2012|
The IDF shot down a Hezbollah-piloted drone over the northern Negev desert earlier this month after it possibly captured images of secret Israeli military sites. Earlier, Tel Aviv praised the IDF for its rapid response to the security breach.
The drone was launched from Lebanon and crossed into Israeli airspace on October 6, and stayed airborne for three hours before being intercepted, the Sunday Times reported.
Sources in the region claimed that the unmanned aircraft traveled more than 300 kilometers, and transmitted pictures of preparations for Israel’s joint military exercise with the US, the newspaper said. The aircraft also reportedly spotted ballistic missiles, airfields and likely the nuclear reactor in Dimona.
The British newspaper said that the first missile an Israeli F-16 fighter jet shot at the done missed its target. After the incident, Israeli leadership praised the country’s air forces for their "sharp and effective" response to the violation of the country’s airspace.
The drone is the new Iranian Shahed-129, operated by Iranian Revolutionary Guard technicians with the help of the Hezbollah, the report said.
Earlier, Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah took credit for the aerial infiltration, saying that the aircraft was designed by Iran and assembled in Lebanon.
He said the drone was deployed in response to what he called Israel’s repeated violations of Lebanese airspace since 2006. He identified the Dimona reactor as the mission's main target.
"This flight was not our first will not be our last, and we give assurances we can reach any point we want. We have the right to dispatch recon planes over occupied Palestine at any time," Nasrallah said.

Hezbollah claims Iranian-built drone over Israel

The head of Lebanon's Hezbollah boasted Thursday that his Shiite militant group sent a sophisticated unmanned drone over Israel last week, saying the device was built by the Jewish state's arch foe Iran.
Hassan Nasrallah's acknowledgement of the drone which Israel shot down on October 6 came shortly after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pointed at Hezbollah and vowed to defend his country against further "threats."
"A sophisticated reconnaissance aircraft was sent from Lebanese territory ... and travelled hundreds of kilometers [miles] over the sea before crossing enemy lines and into occupied Palestine," Nasrallah said on television.
"It overflew sensitive and important installations for dozens of kilometers until the enemy spotted it near [the nuclear site] Dimona," Nasrallah added on Hezbollah's television Al-Manar. He did not identify the installations.
Nasrallah insisted that "possession of such an aerial capacity is a first in the history of any resistance movement in Lebanon and the region."
"It's not the first time [that a drone was sent], and it will not be the last. We can reach all the zones" of Israel, said Nasrallah, referring to a less sophisticated drone sent by Hezbollah during its 2006 war against Israel.
He said the latest drone was "Iranian built and assembled in Lebanon."
An Israeli official questioned by AFP in Jerusalem said he was not surprised that the drone was made in Iran. "The fact that Hezbollah weapons come from Iran does not surprise anyone," the official said on condition of anonymity.
The Israeli premier earlier accused Hezbollah of launching the previously unidentified drone and vowed to protect Israeli borders against further intrusions.
"We are acting with determination to protect our borders... as we prevented last weekend an attempt by Hezbollah," Netanyahu's office quoted him as saying. "We shall continue to act aggressively against all threats."
Air force jets on Saturday shot down the unarmed drone over southern Israel's Negev desert after it entered the country's airspace from the Mediterranean Sea.
At the time the Israeli military dispelled the notion that the drone might have been launched from the Gaza Strip, and was looking into the possibility that Hezbollah militants may have dispatched it.
In July 2006, the Israeli military shot down an unarmed drone operated by Hezbollah over the Jewish state's territorial waters.
And on April 12, 2005, another pilotless Hezbollah aircraft succeeded in overflying part of northern Israel without being downed.
On Wednesday, army radio and the top-selling Yediot Aharonot daily said the air force had only managed to shoot down the drone on the second attempt last Saturday.
Both reports said that the first missile fired by the F-16 jet missed the drone which was eventually brought down by a Panther missile, the military's most advanced air-to-air projectile.
A senior air force source quoted by Yediot played down the incident saying it was not unreasonable given the drone's small size.
"This is not a failure, no other army in the world with Israel's aerial defense systems could prevent the infiltration of such aircraft," he said.

If there is no air in space, then how does the Sun burn?
Good question! The sun doesn't burn by combustion - an exothermic oxidation reaction (chemical, interaction between atoms).
A thermonuclear fusion reaction occurs on the Sun. The hydrogen bomb, in general, is only very large.
Artemis I - First Flight Test of NASA’s Deep Space Exploration System
- Artemis I will be the first integrated flight test of NASA’s deep space exploration system: the Orion spacecraft, Space Launch System (SLS) rocket and the ground systems at Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida. The first in a series of increasingly complex missions, Artemis I will be an uncrewed flight that will provide a foundation for human deep space exploration, and demonstrate our commitment and capability to extend human existence to the Moon and beyond. During this flight, the uncrewed Orion spacecraft will launch on the most powerful rocket in the world and travel thousands of miles beyond the Moon, farther than any spacecraft built for humans has ever flown, over the course of about a three-week mission.
Artemis I - Mission Time
- Originally, the mission was planned to follow a circumlunar trajectory without entering orbit around the Moon. However, current plans have the Orion spacecraft spend approximately three weeks in space, including six days in a distant retrograde orbit around the Moon.
Rotation of the moon
Due to tidal interactions, the Moon is, as it were, tied to the Earth and always faces it with the same side. However, modern computer technology and a large number of detailed images of the Moon obtained by the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter made it possible to create this video about the rotation of the Moon.
The video begins with a familiar view of the Earth's moon. However, shortly after the start, the Eastern Sea, located just below the equator, enters the frame - a huge crater with a dark center, which is difficult to see from Earth. The entire lunar month is compressed into a 24-second video. It is clearly seen that on the side of the Moon facing the Earth, there are many dark lunar seas, while on the far side there are more light hills.

A United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket lifted off as scheduled at 07:50 (11:50 GMT) from Cape Canaveral, Florida, in clear skies, for a journey of nearly 7 months and 480 million kilometers.
The first stage of the rocket detached a few minutes later. NASA is now preparing for a second push, from Earth orbit, that will propel Perseverance on its course towards March.
“It’s really fantastic to be gone after all the hard work of this team,” NASA executive Bobby Braun said shortly after the launch.
If arrived intact, on February 18, 2021, Perseverance will be only the fifth rover to make the trip since 1997.
All so far are Americans, but China launched its first Martian rover last week, due to arrive in May 2021.
Mars could, therefore, have three rovers in operation next year, with American Curiosity, which has covered 23 km on the Red Planet since 2012.
The main mission of Perseverance will be to search for traces of past life on Mars.
Scientists believe they have good evidence that over three billion years ago the planet was warmer and covered in rivers and lakes, ingredients that can breed germs. | aerospace |

This time though the subject is a little different from the usual. This one is all about detail and creativity within aviation photography. As such we will not be accepting submissions if the entire aircraft is within frame. I want this group to be a big resource for close detail images. The aircraft can be on the ground or in flight, but close up detail is a must.
I'm afraid for traditional artists and modellers, this may not be the group for you, unless you can show me work that fits in with the group.

Launched on Sept. 2, the spacecraft positioned itself at Lagrange Point 1, from where it will undertake a comprehensive study of the sun, focusing on the solar corona and its influence on space weather.
“India creates yet another landmark. It is a testament to the relentless dedication of our scientists in realising among the most complex and intricate space missions,” Modi said in a post on social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter.
India creates yet another landmark. India’s first solar observatory Aditya-L1 reaches it’s destination. It is a testament to the relentless dedication of our scientists in realising among the most complex and intricate space missions. I join the nation in applauding this…
The satellite covered approximately 1.5 million kilometres (930,000 miles) over the span of four months, just a fraction of the Earth-sun distance of 150 million kilometres.
The Lagrange Point, where the satellite is stationed, benefits from gravitational forces that allow objects to remain relatively stationary, reducing fuel consumption for the spacecraft.—Agencies | aerospace |

Since 1999, Steve Mirmina has worked in the International Law division of the Office of the General Counsel of NASA. He has received commendations for his work from both NASA and the White House. Steve has spoken widely, authored numerous articles, and edited several books in international air and space law. He is a Member of the Bar of the US Supreme Court and teaches space law as an adjunct professor at Georgetown Law School.
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has a long history of using cross-waivers in agreements with other space agencies to explore outer space. This article will discuss cross-waivers, as they are used in cooperative agreements for outer space exploration, and explain how they are structured.1 Because cross-waivers are legally complex, this article is intended to provide a general overview of how they work and why they are used for cooperative activities in outer space, such as the International Space Station (ISS). Additionally, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) requires that commercial licensees and their contractors and customers enter into cross waivers with each other and the US government in connection with the launch or reentry of a private spacecraft, and thus, understanding NASA’s cross-waiver practice may be somewhat helpful in understanding FAA’s requirements on the commercial sector.
Essentially, a cross-waiver is a set of promises made by parties to an agreement in which each of the parties pledges not to sue the other for damages caused by the other, except under specific circumstances. Moreover, each party also pledges that not only will it not sue the other, but also it will ensure that any entity related to it will not sue the other or any entity related to the other, except, again, in those same very few, and very limited, circumstances.

In some cases a relief airport is an existing one that is designated to handle a specific class of aircraft such as general aviation. They provide capacity gains by moving general aviation from a commercial airport to a different facility. By removing aircraft with lower capacities and slower speeds, an airport is able to operate more flights with larger aircraft and handle more passengers increasing efficiency with minimal additional cost in facilities at the older and generally larger facility. This also spreads out the aircraft over a wider area generally improving air traffic in the entire community.
To qualify for this designation, an airport must have 100 or more based aircraft or 25,000 annual itinerant operations.

Mumbai, Maharashtra, India
Gdgddave on Apr 20, 2019
1. I booked my round trip flight (Official tour) from mumbai-jaipur-mumbai from easemytrip website. Departure date from mumbai to jaipur was 17.03.2019 and from jaipur to mumbai was 18.03.2019.
2. Mumbai to jaipur flight was very smooth. However jet airways (9 w-2417, pnr: dedinz, dated:18.03.2019, time: 9:15pm) flight was abruptly cancelled by the airlines.
3. Neither sms/mail was sent nor call was made (Violation of dgca rule :car, section 3, series m, part iv). We called jet airways and easemytrip many times on 18.03.2019. But was not picked by them.
4. I, along with one of my colleague (Pnr:pjbdjm) having same round trip ticket, reached the airport and got the cancellation information from jet airways representative.
5. No alternate flight was provided, not even on second day.
6. No facilities at airport was extended to us neither were we informed about any such facilities by the airlines, which again is violation of dgca rule :car, section 3, series m, part iv.
7. I have called easemytrip customer care. They denied any alternate arrangement on the same day and the next day. They conveyed that, it's the responsibility of airlines to intimate passengers about cancellations and provide alternative options. On my inquiry, same was conveyed to me on 18.03.2019.
7. I had to report on official duty on very next day.
8. I along with my colleague had no option but to book only available indigo flight no: 6e-394 pnr no: ohc2vw on 19th march, 2019 at 05.25 pm at exorbitant price of rs.23500/- (Per person).
Hence i request easemytrip to refund me the amount of rs. 15505 being the difference between the new flight booked @ rs. 23500 and the amount of jetairways flight of rs 7997.
Further i request you to compensate me for the trouble i had faced at jaipur due to flight cancelled as i was not provided any accomodation or any alternative flights.
I want you to take necessary action on urgent basis
Complaint marked as Resolved May 22, 2019
[Apr 20, 2019] EaseMyTrip.com customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.
Verified SupportEaseMyTrip.com Customer Care's response, Apr 21, 2019

We would like to inform you that we do update customers email and registered number while making the booking so that airline can directly intimate any prior information directly to the customer to avoid any kind of delay for the same. We would also like to inform you that your flight was cancelled from the airline's end and hence the full refund of the same has been processed and you must have got the same into your source account.

Andy Jassy, CEO of Amazon Web Services, is set to take over as CEO of Amazon at that time.
Bezos, who wholly owns Blue Origin, founded the company in 2000. The trip to space will be brief, with Bezos and his brother Mark on board the space vehicle New Shepard, which will carry a capsule by vertical rocket outside of Earth’s atmosphere, Chain Store Age reported. New Shepard has completed more than 12 successful missions without passengers, CNBC reported.
“Ever since I was five years old, I’ve dreamed of traveling to space,” Bezos said in an Instagram post announcing his space travels. “On July 20, I will take that journey with my brother. The greatest adventure, with my best friend.”
In addition to Mark and Jeff Bezos, the flight will hold a passenger who wins a public auction. Bidding for the seat has reached $2.8 million, CNBC reported.

Implications - Rockets are machines that many little boys dream about in their childhood days. Some companies have realized this fantasy and have created other items that resemble rockets for adults such as amazing supercars. Rockets sound dangerous and exciting, so it is only natural that an adventurous person would be drawn to anything rocket-like. Car names that have the word rocket in them are sure to be popular among those who have the need for speed.

The cabin seating option, available on Stationair aircraft beginning in 2015, can be arranged quickly for two, three or four passengers. Configurations include a two-passenger "limo" arrangement and a four-seat club configuration. The standard configuration in the passenger cabin is two rows of forward-facing seats, two in each row.
"The Cessna Stationair has proven to be popular with customers because of its versatility," said Joe Hepburn, senior vice president, Piston Aircraft. "This new seating option adds another level of utility and makes excellent use of the cabin space for any number of missions. Enhanced flexibility is due to the seat belts being attached to the seats instead of fixed to specific positions in the cabin, along with the new rear seat rails that allow the seats to be easily removed or reconfigured."
The optional seating package consists of new leather covers for the pilot and co-pilot seats, four new middle and aft row seats similar to luxury car seats, new aft-cabin seat rails used for the five approved seating configurations, new interior panels, new LED lighting, overhead ducting, new vents, new carpet, USB ports to power cell phones and personal electronic devices, blackout window reveals for all windows aft of front windshield, and new Luxor II leather appointments with monogrammed headrests.
The single-engine Cessna 206 Turbo Stationair features the advanced Garmin 1000 avionics suite and GFC 700 autopilot, a turbocharged Textron Lycoming TIO-540-AJ1A engine producing 350 horsepower for a maximum cruise speed of 164 kats. | aerospace |

November 19: Air traffic management across the USA was sent into chaos for four hours due to a software configuration problem within the Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) telecommunications infrastructure in Salt Lake City, admitted the authority. Flight plans were unable to be filed, leading to cancellations and delays for many departures. According to the FAA, air traffic control radar and communication with aircraft were not affected and critical safety systems remained up and running.
The problem arose at 05:00 Eastern Standard Time (EST) and resolved at approximately 09:00 EST. During the outage air traffic controllers had to manage flight plan data manually, in line with FAA contingency plans.
This was the second problem in 15 months – in August 2008 the computer system in Atlanta that processes flight plans was down for several hours. Yesterday’s problem at Salt Lake City also affected operations at Atlanta, the FAA admitted. Chief Administrator Randy Babbitt is to meet with contractor Harris Corporation to discuss measures that should prevent any further problems. | aerospace |
https://uk.pcmag.com/robotics/41830/amazon-awarded-patent-for-drone-delivery-system | 2023-12-08T05:27:07 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100724.48/warc/CC-MAIN-20231208045320-20231208075320-00429.warc.gz | 0.946042 | 699 | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2023-50__0__140329587 | en | Amazon has been planning to use flying robots to deliver goods to customers for quite some time and now the online retail giant has a patent for its "PrimeAir" drone delivery system.
The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office published the patent last week. Amazon submitted its proposal for a retail delivery system using unmanned aircraft last September.
The patent awards Amazon exclusive IP related to a "system for aerial delivery" rather than relating to a specific type of drone aircraft. The first claim in the patent describes:
"1. A system for aerial delivery of items to a destination location, comprising: a plurality of unmanned aerial vehicles, each of the plurality of unmanned aerial vehicles configured to aerially transport items; an unmanned aerial vehicle management system, including: a processor; and a memory coupled to the processor and storing program instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processors to at least: receive a request to deliver an item to a destination location; and send to an unmanned aerial vehicle of the plurality of unmanned aerial vehicles, delivery parameters identifying a source location that includes the item and a destination location; wherein the unmanned aerial vehicle, in response to receiving the delivery parameters, is further configured to at least: navigate to the source location; engage the item located at the source location; navigate a navigation route to the destination location; and disengage the item."
A further 19 claims relate to ways the drones in Amazon's fleet would be managed, networked, navigated, receive delivery locations from online purchases, complete deliveries, and more.
Patent in hand, Amazon now has a couple more mountains to climb, the BBC noted. Namely, the company must still perfect the technology behind its ambitious drone delivery service and also convince regulators to allow it and others to deploy robot aircraft in U.S. skies in more numbers and with more freedom than currently permitted.
In the latter case, Amazon has been lobbying hard to push the Federal Aviation Administration to change drone-related regulations. In March, just a week after the FAA gave the company permission to test out unmanned aircraft for delivery purposes, Amazon vice president of Global Public Policy Paul Misener visited Capitol Hill to chide the agency for taking too long to approve that testing and restricting the process too much.
With regards to the March 19 issuance of an experimental airworthiness certificate to Amazon Logistics, Misener said, "the permission the FAA granted is more restrictive than are the rules and approvals by which we conduct outdoor testing in the U.K. and elsewhere."
"Moreover, obtaining permission took far too long, and certainly much longer—over half a year—than it took in other countries," he added.
The 2012 FAA Air Transportation Modernization and Safety Improvement Act includes a mandate to loosen up drone restrictions and integrate commercial drones into the National Airspace System. But in 2013, a long-term planning report by the Transportation Department suggested more leeway for drone operators in the U.S. won't be officially instituted until this year at the earliest.
Amazon revealed the first results of PrimeAir testing in December 2013. At the time, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos said electrically powered PrimeAir drones were being designed to carry objects up to 5 pounds in weight, which covers up to 86 percent of the objects Amazon delivers.
"We're not going to deliver kayaks or table saws" with PrimeAir, he quipped.

Elizabeth Amweg, 22, started taking flight lessons when she was 15. By the time she graduated high school, the Plymouth, Wis., native had already earned her private pilot’s certificate at a nearby airport. When she started shopping around for a flight school to continue her professional pilot education, she quickly chose Fox Valley Technical College.
“I started out looking at some four-year programs,” Amweg explains. “But they were expensive—and they didn’t offer as much as FVTC does in its two-year program.”
A visit to campus made Amweg’s decision even easier. “The people were all friendly,” she says. “The class sizes were small and I discovered I could transfer to a four-year program later on and earn a bachelor’s degree.”
For Amweg, things couldn’t have worked out better. After only two years at FVTC, she graduated with her associate degree in Aeronautics-Pilot Training in 2009. At the same time, she earned her commercial pilot’s certificate with airplane single-engine, multi-engine, and instrument ratings. She also earned a certified flight instructor certificate. What’s more noteworthy is that Amweg had accumulated more than 300 hours of flight time in only two years—a critical component of qualifying for employment as a pilot.
“If I had chosen a four-year school, it would have taken twice as long and I wouldn’t have acquired nearly as much flight experience or pilot certificates,” says Amweg.
Plus, she wouldn’t already have two years of experience working as a flight instructor. Like some FVTC program graduates, Amweg was hired as a flight instructor at the college after completing her degree. She now has more than 1,000 hours of flight time, and recently landed a job as a first officer with American Eagle Airlines, where she will be flying 70-passenger airplanes around the United States and the Caribbean.
“We keep our class sizes small [16 students] and really try to give our students as much one-on-one tailored instruction as possible,” says Jared Huss, lead instructor of FVTC’s Pilot Training program. “Elizabeth was the kind of student every instructor looks forward to teaching. She took full advantage of all the resources available to her, and always went above and beyond what was required. Elizabeth carried a tremendous work ethic with her while she worked for us as both a work study and as a flight instructor.”

Indigo flight en route to Singapore was diverted to Kualanamu airport, Indonesia. The flight had to make a landing before the designated stop after the crew reported a burning smell from the cabin. The incident occurred with an Airbus A320 aircraft with registration number 6E-1007 from Tiruchirappalli. Reports suggest the aircraft was held at Kualanamu airport for a detailed inspection to fix any problem within the plane.
The Airbus aircraft, during its initial inspection, was found to be satisfactory. During the inspection, all the passengers on the plane were accommodated by the airline. Furthermore, the budget-Indian carrier also arranged another aircraft to fly passengers from Kualanamu to Singapore.

The incident was reported to Directorate General of Civial Aviation (DGCA). ANI quotes DGCA officials saying, “The aircraft has been grounded for inspection. Earlier during take off from Tiruchirappalli, the aircraft had experienced a suspected bird hit.”
The official further adds, “All operations were normal till cruise. There was no warning or indication of smoke. No visible smoke was observed.”
In a similar incident, a Biman Bangladesh flight from Dhaka-Kathmandu was diverted to Patna Airport due to a technical problem with the aircraft. At the time, the officials confirmed that all the passengers were safe in the incident. However, the technical problem was not identified at the time.

When Boeing set out to develop the 737 Max, engineers had to find a way to fit a much larger and more-fuel efficient engine under the wing of the single-aisle jet’s notoriously low-riding landing gear. By moving the engine slightly forward and higher up and extending the nose landing gear by eight inches, Boeing eked another 14% improvement in fuel consumption out of the continually tweaked airliner.
That changed, ever so slightly, how the jet handled in certain situations. The relocated engines and their higher thrust caused an upward pitching moment — in essence, the Max’s nose was getting nudged skyward.
Boeing quietly added a new system “to compensate for some unique aircraft handling characteristics during it’s (sic) Part 25 certification” and help pilots bring the nose down in the event the jet’s angle of attack drifted too high when flying manually, putting the aircraft at risk of stalling, according to a series of questions and answers provided to pilots at Southwest Airlines, the largest 737 Max operator reviewed by The Air Current.
The Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System (MCAS) was designed to address this, according to Boeing engineers and pilots briefed on the system, now at the center of the inquiry into the crash of Lion Air 610, a brand new Boeing 737 Max 8. MCAS is “activated without pilot input” and “commands nose down stabilizer to enhance pitch characteristics during steep turns with elevated load factors and during flaps up flight at airspeeds approaching stall.”
“Its sole function is to trim the stabilizer nose down,” according to the system’s description to pilots, who were learning about it for the first time this week.
The system activates when the sensed Angle of Attack (AOA) “exceeds a threshold based on airspeed and altitude.” That tilts the 737 Max’s horizontal stabilizer upward at a rate of .27 degrees per second for a total travel of 2.5 degrees in just under 10 seconds. How much the stabilizer moves depends on Mach number. At higher Mach the stabilizer moves less, at slower speeds it moves more. The trim system under MCAS is not stopped by simply moving the control yoke.
The LionAir Crash
Flight data recorder has revealed some facts about the crash which has shown that the alpa vane or angle of attack vane located on the nose of the max on the captain or first officer’s side was probably faulty which lead to erroneous data.
Failure of this component could lead to IAS disagree, altitude disagree, angle of attack disagree and possibly a stick shaker on the affected side.
The MCAS protection system possibly kicked in after sensing a stall and in an attempt to prevent the stall, trimmed the aircraft nose down.
If this is left unchecked can lead to a potential nose heavy situation where it becomes almost impossible to manually raise the nose.
Possible Preventive Actions
The system can be deactivated if pilots trim the aircraft manually to override the MCAS’s attempt to automatically pitch the jet’s nose down.
The memory item for stabilizer runaway is basically to turn off the stabilizer cut out switches located to the right of the engine start levers and this also would have stopped the stabilizer trim.
The MCAS hasn’t been properly communicated to pilots of the max fleet which is the reason the FAA came out with an emergency Air Worthiness Directive.
Sadly these pilots on that faithful day never had this information and the system wasn’t mentioned in the flight crew operations manual (FCOM) that governed the master description of the aircraft for pilots.
These systems have to be made known to the pilots flying these aircrafts because we as pilots always operate on situational awareness and technical situational awareness is also crucial, with this we can know why a system is behaving in a particular way and the possible ways to fix it.
This is an explanation of the rumors that’s floating around presently and is subject to further corrections. Please feel free to drop your opinions. | aerospace |

I had two options: to buy a new one or to repair it.
Step 1: Open the quadcopter
I removed all the tiny screws and put them in a safe place.
I reversed the good motors channel with the "dead" channels. I wanted to know if the motors are dead or something happened with the Syma X5C 's receiver board.
After I powered up the quad I got the confirmation that the two counter-clockwise motors are dead. Also, one of the motor base was melted because of the heat of the motor.
Step 2: Removing damaged parts
I unsoldered the motor wires from the receiver board and I removed the dead motors from the motor base.
Step 3: Ordering spare parts
I ordered two counter-clockwise motors (black and white wires), one set of motor gears and one motor base.
After almost 4 weeks I got them and I was ready for the final step.
Step 4: Installing the new parts in to the quadcopter
I soldered back the wires of the new motors to the receiver board according to the attached schematics.
On the video bellow you can watch the entire repair process.
After I checked everything again, I powered ON the quad to see if all the motors spin freely and correctly. Good news, my quadcopter was ready for the next fly :) | aerospace |

An engine issue with an American Airlines passenger plane forced an emergency landing at Philadelphia International Airport on Friday night, officials said.
According to 6 ABC, witnesses reported a fire burning visibly from the plane's engine, prompting a report of an aircraft in distress.
American Airlines representative Josh Freed confirmed to PhillyVoice that an issue with the engine led to a visible excess burnoff of fuel, but that no part of the plane itself was on fire.
Several passengers on board called 911 as the plane flew in circles for 20 minutes before landing safely.
There were 140 passengers aboard the flight, but no one was injured. | aerospace |

The problem started when a fault occurred at one of the systems that feeds the London Area Control Centre at Swanwick in Hampshire.
A spokesman for the National Air Traffic Services (NATS), which runs the centre, said: "The situation was resolved at 7pm yesterday evening. We are investigating what caused the fault and we sincerely apologise for any inconvenience to travellers."
The fault imposed restrictions on the number of aircraft entering UK airspace through London Area Control sectors - airspace 24,000ft above England and Wales - and those taking off from major UK airports.
Flights into and from all London area airports were affected. NATS said that Scottish airspace, Manchester Area airspace and Manchester and London Terminal Control airspace operated normally throughout the night.
Swanwick unveiled a £50m system upgrade in March last year amid complaints from some controllers that the new system was difficult to handle. | aerospace |

A History with the Airlines
Aerosim Flight Academy’s campus is located at the Orlando/Sanford International Airport in Sanford, Florida. Established in 1989 by Comair Airlines, the Academy has been training professional airline pilots for the past two decades. As the only flight school originally owned and operated by an airline, our flight school’s reputation quickly grew with the expansion of Comair.
In 2000, Delta Air Lines purchased Comair Airlines and its subsidiaries. This new era marked boundless growth and excitement for the Academy. To align with our expanding role in providing first officers to the Delta Connection carriers, the Academy was renamed Delta Connection Academy (DCA). Over the next several years, DCA continued to grow and expand its endeavors by partnering with Jacksonville University, Broward College and San Jacinto College to provide flight training for their aviation degree programs. In November 2008, Delta Connection Academy added a branch campus at Ellington Field Airport in Houston, Texas.
In December of 2009, Delta Connection Academy merged with Aerosim Technologies, an aviation simulator and courseware design firm. Founded in 1993, Aerosim Technologies provided the link between Computer Based Training and Full Flight Simulators by designing a new, PC-based simulator trainer, equipped with full free-play functions and realistic cockpit environments. This exciting partnership led to the flight school being renamed Aerosim Flight Academy.
Aerosim Flight Academy offers flight training courses approved by the FAA under 14 CFR Part 141, and specialized flight training under 14 CFR Part 61. We provide a professional flight training environment based on sophisticated airline standards. We are dedicated to quality, safety, reliability and performance.
A Flight School with One Mission

When Mars gives you pebbles, you give them back.
When some of its internal handling systems were filled with rocks, the Perseverance rover became increasingly problematic.
CNET's latest science stories have been made every week from the lab to your inbox.
The issue occurred along the rover's bit carousel, which passes the sample tubes inside for processing. On Friday, NASA commanded the rover to rotate the carousel. It worked. The upper two pebbles were kicked out. "This is great news, as these small chunks of debris are believed to be the cause of the unsuccessful transfer of the drill bit and sample tube into the carousel.
You can see how the largest pebbles are now cleared out.
Onward!Details: Two smaller ones are still lower down, but may not be an issue.
There's still a small amount of debris left, but it may not cause any problems for the sampling process, and those bits may fall out as the rover moves around.
The rover needed to accomplish the task by focusing the pebbles. The team found it would be appropriate to reuse the tube for a fresh sample if necessary.
A NASA Perseverance rover and an Ingenuity helicopter explore the wilds of Mars.
The rover examined its handiwork and found some rocks on the ground. Follow-up images show the tube can be reused, possibly for re-sampling the original rock that kicked off the pebble problem
Perseverance's work involves collecting rock samples. NASA is planning a future and brings them back to Earth for a study.
The pebbles saga is a good example of the flexibility and creativity that a robot can have to be successful on Mars. Like when the rover's flying helicopter companion comes into play, Perseverance will return to building its rock collection fairly soon. | aerospace |

Yahoo Finance’s Emily McCormick joins Akiko Fujita to discuss.”
AKIKO FUJITA: Shares of Boeing seeing a pop in the session. The stock up nearly 3% right now, after European regulators gave the go-ahead to fly its 737 Max jets again. Those planes have been grounded since March of last year, following those two accidents that left 346 people dead. Let’s bring in Emily McCormick for the very latest on this story. And Emily, what kind of timeline are we talking about in terms of when these jets are likely to return to the skies, at least in Europe?
EMILY MCCORMICK: Absolutely, Akiko. So taking a look at this report, we had the European Union Aviation Safety Agency saying in an interview with Bloomberg, that it’s finishing up final document reviews and preparing to issue an airworthiness directive for the 737 Max, potentially as soon as next month. Now this is the biggest vote of confidence that Boeing has received from a major aviation regulator yet.
Now the agency conducted test flights on the 737 Max back in September. And again, a huge endorsement, given that this aircraft has been grounded globally since March 2019. Now at the same time, the agency also suggested that Boeing could return to the skies in the region before the end of 2020. The company has not yet implemented a software upgrade that the agency requested, though this would reportedly be required on the forthcoming Max 10 aircraft, which is slated to debut in 2022.
Now the head of that agency, Patrick Ky, did tell Bloomberg in that interview that the agency’s analysis still found that the level of safety reached on the 737 Max jet was high enough to warrant a return to the skies, even an absence of this additional software. Now the FAA, turning back to the US now, the FAA has also been conducting a review of the 737 Max. It hasn’t provided any sort of concrete timeline on when an airworthiness directive for the United States might actually be coming.
We know that the FAA Chief, Steve Dickson, actually flew the Max back in September, along with regulators in Europe. He did say that the plane’s controls felt quote, “very comfortable,” according to reports out of that analysis. But still, that review process is not yet complete. And again, we are still in an environment where commercial aircraft demand remains relatively low, actually quite a bit lower than it was the same time last year, because of the pandemic.
But again, the possibility here that the 737 Max might be able to return to the skies before the end of 2020, at least in the EU region, is something definitely that had been weighing on the stock for the past more than a year, and something contributing to that pop we’re seeing today. Akiko.
AKIKO FUJITA: Yeah, I mean, investors seem to be happy about it if you look at the stock reaction today. But to your point, how big of a bump is this likely to be for Boeing when it comes to the bottom line? This is a crisis that they’ve had to deal with for two years pre-COVID. They’ve had to deal with a number of cancelations, delays. What does this mean for that backlog now that we know at least the jets that are available to fly, can finally take to the skies in Europe?
EMILY MCCORMICK: Well, again, getting that certification from the FAA is really going to be where the unlock comes in. That’s what a lot of analysts have really pointed to, especially since the FAA really does serve as that international precedent-setting agency when it comes to air worthiness directives. But at the same time, if we take a look at what Boeing has been reporting so far this year, the company reported nearly 1,000 jet orders canceled or impaired so far for the year to date. That’s due to both our ongoing 737 Max grounding, as well as the pandemic.
Now if we take a look at airlines themselves though, they actually are planning on going ahead with training other pilots for the 737 Max jet, even in lieu of the fact that we’re still waiting for that airworthiness directive from the FAA. We had American Airlines saying last month that it intended to have its pilots begin that training process on the 737 Max starting in November. So I think that’s something else that’s also contributing to this general feeling of optimism around this timeline for the Max jet, Akiko.
AKIKO FUJITA: OK, Emily, thanks so much for that. | aerospace |

The passion and persistence of the brothers turned into a very well-engineered aircraft. For several years, the brothers tested multiple glider prototypes on the beach of Kitty Hawk (North Carolina) with mixed successes. Back at their home in Dayton (Ohio), they built a wind tunnel to accelerate the testing and developing of their ideas. Finally, on December 17, 1903 Orville Wright took off for the first engine propelled flight. The structure of their first aircraft was made of spruce wood and cotton fabrics.
For a nice and educational biography of the Wright brothers, watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qt3pry6cWJM
The Wright brothers used aluminum in some of their next airplane models, but it was considered too heavy and very expensive at that time. It was Junkers who built in 1915 the first military airplane (Junkers J1) with an aluminum fuselage structure. The real breakthrough for aluminum aircraft structures came in 1928 with the Ford Tri-Motor. This first aluminum passenger airplane also kicked off modern commercial passenger air transportation. The Ford Tri-Motor was used for commercial passenger flights from New York to California, a 48-hour journey.
Over the years, specific aluminum alloys were developed to better meet the specific mechanical performance needs for building lighter and safer airplanes. Titanium and steel are only used on a small number of parts, due to cost and weight, respectively. One of the exceptions is Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird, primarily made from titanium.
The quest for weight reduction drove the industry to look also into composites. Thermoset materials with carbon fiber reinforcement are widely used in the Boeing 787 Dreamliner and the Airbus A350 and have now spread into many other aircraft platforms.
The next material trend for future airframe structures is carbon reinforced thermoplastics. Thermoplastics have some significant advantages over thermoset materials : they make production faster and more economical (enables faster processed, room temperature storage). Depending on the selected thermoplastic material, they offer better mechanical performance (low weight, toughness), great environmental performance (resistance to chemicals, resists extreme temperature variations, good radiation resistance) and more safety (fire retardant, smoke, and toxicity). But also at the end-of-life of the airplane, thermoplastics offer great recycling advantages. GKN Aerospace (formerly Fokker Technologies) is one of the pioneers producing thermoplastic tail structures since many years. Stelia Aerospace has been showcasing their full thermoplastic “TP Arches Box” demonstrator in 2017.
Composite airframe structures come also with specific challenges that are no longer for granted, such as lightning strike protection, de-icing and enable new wiring technologies. These are the areas where Compolam can offer suitable materials and expertise.

How about the man behind PayPal or the engineers at Boeing? Let's explore some of the commercial companies who are the major players in NASA's efforts to once again send crewed missions into space.
In July of 2011, NASA terminated its space shuttle program. Any efforts to transport people, supplies, or science experiments to the International Space Station (and of course, beyond) now rely on the Russian Soyuz capsule, a rental that costs in the neighborhood of $70 million a trip.
So NASA was faced with a financial challenge: how could they keep the space program going without owning and maintaining the vehicles themselves or relying on the Russian program which is ultimately a competitor in the space race?
Thus the commercial crew initiative was born. NASA began entering into contracts with private companies developing their own vehicles for the transportation of supplies, and eventually crews, into space. The companies then retain the intellectual property for their designs and, of course, the vehicles themselves, but the price tag for NASA drops from the billions of dollars needed to build and maintain a shuttle to what was an initial investment of around $500 million. (Although, as we shall see, that number has now far been surpassed.)
Not everyone at NASA was convinced that allowing commercial companies to dock at the roughly $100 billion International Space Station (ISS for short) was a good idea, especially since it often serves as home for international astronauts, but commercial companies have now been ferrying supplies and science experiments to the ISS since the SpaceX Dragon spacecraft first accomplished the task in 2012.
NASA maintains a site explaining all of the ongoing science experiments on the ISS, experiments that benefit either from the microgravity environment or from an outsider’s perspective on the Earth. For example, the HICO spectrometer onboard the ISS is used to monitor the quality of U.S. drinking water by monitoring the coastlines of oceans as well as the Great Lakes for harmful algae or oil spills.
Other companies, like Planet Labs, Inc., uses the ISS as a launching point for their fleet of nanosatellites, which work to map the Earth near the equator where most of the world’s population and agriculture is located. They monitor issues like deforestation, urbanization, and agricultural yields at a more frequent rate than any existing government or commercial satellites.
Private companies have also been contracted to launch government satellites into space, like the DSCOVR satellite, short for Deep Space Climate Observatory, a partnership between NASA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the U.S. Air Force. SpaceX delivered the satellite, which will monitor the Sun for potentially dangerous solar storms, into orbit earlier this year.
The next step in NASA’s commercial crew initiative is the transport of not just supplies but also crew members. Although that may sound like a daunting task, the most optimistic predictions have commercial space flight companies delivering NASA astronauts to the ISS as early as 2017! Both Boeing and Space Exploration Technologies Corporation (better known as SpaceX) have received paid contracts from NASA to deliver manned (and woman-ed!) missions to the ISS.
Boeing and the CST-100 Spacecraft
The Boeing Company, a major player in both the commercial and defense aircraft design industries, received the first commercial order from NASA to the tune of $4.2 billion to develop its CST-100 (for Crew Space Transportation) space taxi. The capsule fits seven passengers and is designed to be reused up to 10 times. The vehicle further is designed to do all of its docking autonomously so that less training time is required for any potential crew. | aerospace |

The KC-390 provides support for ground operations or disaster relief missions transporting wounded survivors or casualties. The KC-390 can be configured to carry up to 74 litters (STANAG 2040 ) and 8 additional members, including medical attendants and necessary life supporting equipment.
When equipped with a modular firefighting system, the KC-390 becomes an important aerial resource for firefighters in battling wildfires, dropping water or fire retardant like a bomber. The KC-390 fly-by-wire provides outstanding maneuverability at low speeds (120 KCAS) to fly over wildfire areas, increasing the mission efficiency. | aerospace |

Update: 2019/10/30 by Robert Kysela / CHK6
The Italian way of life, Italian art, architecture, fashion and design, not to mention its excellent cuisine are admired and appreciated by many all over the world. The Italian automotive industry has produced many legendary marques including FERRARI, LAMBORGHINI and MASERATI. Italian motorcycle manufacturers such as DUCATI and APRILIA are not only competitive on the racetrack, they also cater for a worldwide clientele as suppliers of fine, high performance machines. Far less known however is the evolution of Italy’s high-performance aircraft industry, an industry that has produced products that represented not only the pinnacle of technology of the day, but also influenced significant future technical development within the global aviation industry. There was a time, when the achievements of Italian designers and the performance of Italian pilots featured on the front pages of magazines more than of any other nation.
Perhaps one of the reasons why names such as CAPRONI, SAVOIA MARCHETTI, BREDA or CANT are far less familiar when compared to NORTH AMERICAN, SUPERMARINE, MITSUBISHI or MESSERSCHMITT is because outside of Italy there are relatively few (good) preserved examples of Italian aircraft and aviation technologies. Anyone interested in Italian aircraft and aeronautical engineering must also go to Italy in order to admire their rare and fascinating technological achievements. By far the best place to visit is located some 45 km north of Rome in the small town of Vigna di Valle situated on the picturesque Lago Bracciano. Here, the official museum of the Italian Air Force, the MUSEO STORICO AERONAUTICA MILITARE occupies some 13,000 square meters of space and is a must see for anyone interested in the technology and history of Italian aviation with almost 80 exhibits on display.
The interior exhibition is divided into four exhibition halls which guide the visitor chronologically through more than 100 years of Italian aviation history. Its interesting to note that with two exceptions there is not a single machine that does not come from the hands of an Italian designer or at least did not fly in the service of the Italian Air Force. The two exceptions are a Junkers J.1 (only the fuselage segment) which was captured in 1917 by Italian troops and a replica of the Wright Flyer. Even the world’s only preserved copy of a LOHNER Type L flying boat from the Austrian Empire’s k.u.k. MARINE has a connection with the Italian aviation industry. A replica of this machine was manufactured by NIEUPORT-MACCHI under the designation L.1. A total of 14 examples were built, with this Austrian flying boat becoming the extremely successful MACCHI M.5.
Following the first manned, powered flight by the Wright brothers it was above all the European nations that drove aviation development with great enthusiasm and ingenuity. These new technologies were further developed through the advent of the First World War where in addition to Germany, France and Great Britain the then Italian Kingdom was to play a major role. During the 1915-1918 war Italian aviation forces (CORPO AERONAUTICO MILITARE) were predominantly equipped with French material, however the licensing to Italy of various designs allowed Italian designers to gain enough experience make their own technological advancements. The postwar period saw Italy build a powerful aerospace industry despite some major economic difficulties. In the 1920’s and 1930’s many products produced by Italian companies achieved a number of world records, some of which are still in existence today!
In 1911, at a time when aviation was still in its infancy, French industrialist Jacques Schneider initiated a competition that was to become known as SCHNEIDER TROPHY (originally named: The Coupe d’Aviation Maritime Jacques Schneider). This competition soon developed into a technological race between the then leading aviation nations of Great Britain, the USA, France and of course Italy. The winner of the trophy had to win three races in a row (within five years) flying a prescribed race circuit. Although the Italian team was able to win several times (1920, 1921 and 1926) they were ultimately beaten by the SUPERMARINE company which won for Great Britain on 13th September 1931 with an S.6B achieving a cruising speed of 547.31 km/h. However, the British S.6B won unopposed as their competitor, the MACCHI-CASTOLDI MC.72, had not been finished in time when the race took place! Ironically, only one year later the Italian race plane achieved the unbeaten world speed record for piston-powered seaplanes of 709.2 km/h! The MUSEO STORICO features three Italian racing aircraft of this era: the winner of the 1926 US competition, a MACCHI M.39, an M.67 of 1929 and the world record holder, the MC.72.
Due to production of numerous high-profile successes the Italian domestic aircraft industry received a considerable number of export orders right up to the beginning of World War II – orders were not only received from various European nations, such as Austria, Hungary or the former Yugoslav Kingdom but also from customers further afield. Eighty five FIAT Br.20A CICOGNA twin-engine bombers were delivered to the Japanese Empire (unfortunately there is not a single survivor of this type) while the SAVOIA-MARCHETTI SM.79 SPARVIERO was exported to Lebanon and Brazil. The SM.79 was a three-engine bomber that was produced in relatively large numbers (1,217 units manufactured up to June 1943), particularly successful (and feared) was the SM.79 Torpedo Bomber. Two medium bomber variants of the type have been preserved, one is exhibited at the MUSEO dell’ AERONAUTICA GIANNI CAPRONI / Trento, while the other is on display at the MUSEO STORICO.
Particularly popular in the export market was the FIAT Cr.32 fighter biplane (the abbreviation Cr comes from the initials of the designer: Celestino Rosatelli). The prototype named the MM.201 made its maiden flight on 28th April 1932. Powered by a FIAT A.30RA twelve-cylinder V-engine, producing 600hp, this successful design proved to be at least equal to all contemporary single-seat fighters of the day, and in many cases superior as was impressively demonstrated by Italian and Spanish pilots during the Spanish Civil War. The most famous fighter ace of the National Spaniard was Commandante Joaquin Garcia Morato who scored 36 of his 40 kills in this machine. Morato preferred this extremely agile biplane even to the considerably more modern and much faster Messerschmitt Bf-109B! Of a total of 1,052 FIAT Cr.32 aircraft were built (other sources claim 1,212 machines built, including 100 units manufactured under license in Spain called Hispano HA-132L CHIRRI), with only two having been preserved: one is in the MUSEO del AIRE in Cuatro Vientos/Madrid, while the other is in Vigna di Valle (both machines are Spanish licensed built versions).
Despite some very effective (at least outside of Italy) media success stories, from the mid-1930’s Italian technological progress lost more and more ground, particularly in relation to aircraft engine production where the Italian development was exceeded by British, German and American designs. While engines such as the legendary Rolls Royce MERLIN or the Daimler Benz DB 601 had already reached well over 1.000hp, their Italian counterparts were still operating at just 850-900hp. Incidentally, this slow development not only applied to in-line engines, as it also affected radial engine development. The French Gnome Rhone 14N-2 delivered almost 1,060hp in its first variant, however its Italian counterpart, the FIAT A.74 developed just 870hp – both engines were produced from 1937. Most Italian radial engine technology was based on US or British models and without having access to metals including special alloys and high-quality fuels and lubricants (which were mainly used in the US) the Italian engines could not reach the required performance standards.
Why the Italians lagged behind technologically before the outbreak of World War II was certainly not due to the quality or capacity of its own domestic engineers but can be more attributed to their politicians and military leaders who became victims of their own propaganda and thereby wallowed in a false since of security. Any new developments and advancements were not exploited and pursued, funds for research were not released and it was believed any impending conflict could be satisfied with extant material. This was clearly evident regarding further development of the FIAT Cr.32 into the model Cr.42 FALCO. While all other nations were developing modern all-metal monoplanes (such as the Supermarine SPITFIRE, Hawker HURRICANE, Messerschmitt Bf 109, Mitsubishi A6M or Curtiss Model 75), Italy still believed in a biplane configuration!
Unlike its predecessor, which had a V-12 cylinder aircraft engine, the Cr.42 was powered by the aforementioned FIAT radial engine A.74 RC.38 which provided the FALCO with a top speed of about 450 km/h. Nonetheless, by the beginning of the war the Cr.42 was still considered a serious opponent and in the hands of an experienced pilot a well-flown FALCO was quite a deadly weapon. If the FALCO could keep up with the British Gloster GLADIATOR II or Hawker HURRICANE Mk.I fighters in 1939-1940 due to its excellent maneuverability then it was hopelessly outperformed by the emergence of later models such as the SPITFIRE Mk.V or the North American P-51B MUSTANG. The last Cr.42 aircraft were used by the German LUFTWAFFE for pilot training and also as a night combat aircraft for partisan fighting (by night battle group NSGr. 9). A total of 1,800 machines were built by the FIAT works in Torino (the exact number still can’t be determined to this day). Of these, just four machines have survived – one of which is displayed in the MUSEO STORICO.
The achievements of the Italian design engineers are impressively demonstrated by another exhibit in the museum, the CAPRONI CAMPINI N.1. The CAMPINI N.1 was the second jet-powered aircraft ever to be built making its maiden flight on 27th August 1940 at the Aeroporto Taliedo (near Milan), interestingly enough, exactly one year to the day the Heinkel He 178 also made its maiden flight. The N.1 concept with its motorjet engine turned out to be a technological dead-end, in distinct contrast the He 178 or the British Gloster E28/29 which were both powered by jet engines. The so-called motorjet engine incorporated a three-stage compressor (turbine) that was powered by a conventional piston engine (a 900hp ISOTTA FRASCHINI L.121 R.C.40) where compressed air flowed through a pipe into the afterburner area where fuel is injected and ignited, thus generating thrust. Prototype testing highlighted relatively poor performance with the machine not even reaching 400 km/h making it just as fast as the Cr.32 series of biplane. Its uninspiring performance, the collapse of the Mussolini government in mid-1943 and the continued bombing of Italian industrial areas by the Allies (in an attack on Milan one of the prototypes was damaged) resulted in development of the N.1 being discontinued. Although the concept ultimately did not prevail, the N.1 was in many ways still quite advanced, for example it was the first airplane in history that incorporated an afterburner (as well as an adjustable exhaust nozzle). Fortunately, the second prototype (C.C.2) has been preserved and can therefore be admired on display in the MUSEO STORICO.
Despite adhering to a biplane design for fighter aircraft of the REGIA AERONAUTICA (Royal Italian Air Force), in the mid-1930’s the development of a modern single-engine, full-metal monoplane with retractable landing gear commenced. The result of this development were two very similar aircraft – the MACCHI C.200 SAETTA and the FIAT G.50 FRECCIA with both fighters being famous for their impressive maneuverability and very good flight characteristics. Both aircraft were also powered by the same engine that was installed in the FIAT Cr.42 (FIAT A.74 RC.38/14-cylinder, air-cooled radial engine). The lack of a powerful engine, as well as the relatively light armament (2 x Breda-SAFAT 12.7 mm MG’s), prevented these early Italian monoplane fighters from keeping up with contemporary British and German designs. Unfortunately, only one FIAT G.50 still survives today which is located in the Belgrade Aviation Museum. Only two MACCHI C.200 aircraft still survive today with one machine at the NATIONAL AIR FORCE MUSEUM in Dayton/Ohio, while the other is at the MUSEO STORICO.
The worst period for the Italian aerospace industry was in the late 1930’s, with its (previously mentioned) lack of suitable propulsion systems apparent. Only with the availability of licensed built German engines, such as the Daimler Benz DB 601A (license built as the: Alfa Romeo RA.1000 RC 41-I MONSONE) producing 1,175hp, was it then possible to exploit the full potential of the designs from the drawing board of Italian engineer Mario Castoldi. The MACCHI MC.202 FOLGORE and especially its successor the MC.205 VELTRO were powered by a Fiat RA1050 RC 58 TIFONE (license version of the DB 605A) producing 1,475hp of takeoff power making them more than just a very dangerous opponent. Luckily for allied pilots the Sep 1943 ceasefire and the splitting up of the REGIA AERONAUTICA into the AERONAUTICA NAZIONALE REPUBLICANA (ANR) and the AERONAUTICA CO-BELLIGERANTE ITALIANA prevented these very fast and extremely maneuverable fighters from ever being used on a grand scale with only 262 MC.205 and 274 FIAT G.55 aircraft bring produced. The G.55 shown in Vigna di Valle was built from a G.59 (an FIAT G.59 is also part of the museum collection). In relation to the G.59, a Rolls Royce MERLIN 500 was installed into the fuselage of a G.55. The first flight of the G.55 took place in 1948 and has since served as an advanced trainer. The G.55 also was used by the Syrian Air Force in the fighter role.
VERDICT: Describing all of the exhibits in the MUSEO STORICO AERONAUTIA MILITARE would greatly exceed the scope of this article. Considering this museum has such a large collection of historically and technically significant exhibits, its a pity we can’t write more about it, but there is one simple solution for that: Make sure you visit the museum on your next holiday in Italy, it is definitely worth it!
