Well, gravity is also a “theory” we really don’t understand how one object can attract another without a strong magnetic or electrical field to pull them together. The most sophisticated measurements of Earth’s gravity are recorded indirectly, by measuring the distance between two satellites as they orbit the Earth. GRACE. It gives us very precise measurements, but it measures distance, not gravity. We infer the strength of the local gravity field instead of measuring it.
We can directly measure temperature because we’ve discovered materials that change their properties as the temperature changes. Gravity affects everything equally, and isn’t affected by material properties. A hammer reacts the same to a gravity field as a feather. Apollo 15 Galileo experiment. The theory of gravity is very solid. We got our spaceships and astronauts back after shooting them into space, which means we’re on the right track. The implications of understanding gravity are enormous. Once we understood temperature, we gained an amount of control over it. Being able to control gravity fields would revolutionize space travel. Instead of powering our launch vehicles with large, heavy, chemical rockets, we could negate gravity around the vehicle until it drifted into orbit. By varying the gravity field around the spaceship, it could maneuver anywhere within the gravitational influence of our sun. The engine for this spaceship wouldn’t even have to be on the spaceship. A ground based station could project an “antigravity” field into space, providing propulsion at a distance. The change from chemical to gravity propulsion will be as significant as the change from horses to cars a century ago. | aerospace |

SEATTLE, WA - Investigations into Amazon’s plans for unmanned delivery drones have taken a turn toward science fiction territory recently—most recently with an innovative new plan that calls for what commentators are describing as “motherships” or “mega-drones.”
Since announcing its intent to transport cargo via unmanned aircraft, Amazon has been on the forefront of the potentially-revolutionary technology. Last month, journalists unearthed plans to create and fly large, unmanned support airships—flying warehouses from which drones could be deployed to deliver packages and potentially even passengers.
In January, though, investigators uncovered an even more ambitious patent. The filing, made on February 19, 2015 and granted a patent December 29, 2016, describes “collective unmanned aerial vehicle configurations," according to tech news source Live Science.
The collective vehicle, “mothership,” or “mega-drone,” as the news source alternately describes it, would be a phalanx of drones joined together to share resources and operate more efficiently. Drones could be joined in a scalable fashion, sharing navigational capabilities and power while transporting larger loads or traveling long distances.
The mega-drones’ scalability would allow for Amazon’s unmanned craft to carry “virtually any size, weight, or quantity of items,” according to the patent. And while the average quadcopter drone can typically fly for only thirty minutes and transport up to ten pounds, imagine what an array of two-dozen drones could accomplish in conjunction with each other—especially if the mega-drone model allows for more-efficient power sharing?
No plans for the immediate implementation of the program are currently in the works, but the principle is intriguing. Could drones, coupling and uncoupling midair to form various sized vehicles, be the future of logistics? Only time will tell.

The manned mission to Mars that takes place in the film occurs in 2030s – the same time NASA intends to send a real crew to explore the Red Planet (1).
Fortunately, the success of the film is garnering a lot of attention for the real life endeavor slated to occur sometime within the next 15-25 years.
So when a retired U.S. Marine using the codename Captain Kaye announced that he recently completed a 17-year stint on Mars, there were some very reasonable doubts. Captain Kaye, also known as Randy Cramer, states that he was employed at a top-secret multinational military base where he was tasked with protecting the five colonies on the planet, which included a colony of Reptilians and another of Insectoids (2).
He stated his employer, the Mars Defense Force, is part of the Earth Defense Force and a special task force created within the United Nations’ Unacknowledged Special Access Program (3).
The man has no documented proof of his supposed mission, which no doubt sounds like nothing more than a science fiction story. However, his fabricated tale does draw attention to the question of the need and desire for military bases on Mars.
Race to the Moon
It was recently announced that the race to the moon in the 1960s was intended for nothing more than to build a military base in space in order to test nuclear weapons and to set up a lunar base for attacks on other countries. These findings were made public when reports, including a number of which were marked as “SECRET,” were declassified (4).
The U.S. Army’s plan, called “Project Horizon,” made it a goal to beat out the Soviet Union and to become the first country to create a military base on the moon. Following their proposed success, it would seem the United States planned to extend their intergalactic military bases to other celestial bodies, including Mars. However, desire and reality are very different.
While there is a strong likelihood the United States government desires military bases on Mars, we simply aren’t there yet. In 2013, NASA’s budget was cut by a whopping 40 percent, with the Mars Exploration Program (MEP), suffering a major blow (5).
While Mars is still the ultimate goal, NASA is considering further exploration of the moon to search for water needed for jet fuel, which would reduce the future expenses of trips to Mars (6). The expense could save money overall, but the exploration mission would mean spending money budgeted toward Mars on other endeavors.
The Possibility Exists
Even with the proper funding, the government made an agreement. In 1967, two years before the launch of Apollo 11, the members of the United Nations signed a treaty banning the use of nuclear weapons in space – be it from the moon or elsewhere (7).
The treaty created a basic foundation of standards that were to be followed while in the great beyond. The treaty clearly states that nuclear weapons and other weapons of mass destruction are not to be placed on the moon or any other celestial body and further mentions that all endeavors are for peaceful purposes.
This treaty, maintained by the Office of Outer Space Affairs, takes it a step further and clarifies that even private entities within the States of the United Nations are held to the same account and their State will be held responsible for their actions (7). Even the private Mars One mission would be held accountable to the rules of the treaty.
All in all, military bases on Mars are certainly a possibility – in the same regard that anything is possible. However, in our current financial state and without violating the treaty, we aren’t going to see it happening any time soon. | aerospace |

Trending News: Elon Musk Just Released Spectacular Photos Of The Failed Falcon 9 Landing
Last week, SpaceX saw an ambitious attempt to safely land their Falcon 9 rocket literally go up in flames. After the rocket had successfully delivered supplies to the International Space Station, the next part of the mission was to attempt to land it on a floating platform in the ocean off the coast of Florida. The attempt to land the rocket safely was important, because it would have been a step forward in reusing rockets, as opposed to discarding them after every mission, which would help lower the costs of space travel in the future.
Unfortunately for SpaceX, and their CEO Elon Musk, the landing was not successful — even though Musk said it was a near-miss that “bodes well for the future.” Last night on Twitter the SpaceX CEO released still frames from a video that showed that the rocket wasn’t far off from making it.
Musk explains how the rocket's fins lost power and cause the rocket to descend at an angle. The engines tried to right the rocket, but obviously failed spectacularly.
For more background, check out our original Dispatch below from January 10th, immediately after the crash:
Why Is This Important?Because this could revolutionize space exploration and land us on Mars.
For the first time ever, Elon Musk’s SpaceX attempted to land an unmanned rocket on a small ship in the ocean. It landed too hard and failed, but the rocket successfully finished its job of launching $133 million worth of cargo up to NASA’s International Space Station. If rockets are eventually able to land without breaking, it could save billions of dollars and make space travel more affordable.
Long Story Short
There’s no stopping billionaire inventor Elon Musk. While simultaneously revolutionizing the online pay industry with PayPal, electric cars with Tesla, solar power with SolarCity and public transportation with the potentially game-changing Hyperloop, Elon Musk is continuing to trail-blaze the path towards inter-planetary travel.
Musk's SpaceX rocket launch on Saturday morning of 5,000 pounds of supplies up to NASA’s International Space Station on the Dragon spacecraft was a success, but the launch had a dual purpose. Besides sending $133 million worth of scientific experiment materials as well as food, clothing and late Christmas presents for the astronauts on board, according to ABC News, SpaceX was trying to be the first ever to land an unmanned rocket on a platform in the ocean.
While the rocket’s landing feet were deployed upon landing, it came down a little hard. “Close, but no cigar,” said Musk on Twitter several hours after the launch.
The Falcon 9 landing failure wasn’t actually too big of a surprise as Musk only gave it a 50-50 chance of success before the launch (a number he apparently pulled out of nowhere). But if Musk is eventually able to keep rockets in-tact after they launch — which he has pledged to continue trying to do — it will make space launches substantially more affordable. And that bodes well for the possibility of sending tourists up to space for less than the $20 to $40 million it has been estimated as costing the past (a little more than your average week-long trip to Hawaii).
And we already know Musk has plans to get tourists up to Mars for $500,000.
It also bodes well for scientific space exploration in general as the high cost of launches at around a billion per eventually forced NASA to shutter its space shuttle program in 2011. If launches are able to occur without having the major components of the rocket disintegrate into tiny pieces, NASA (and the American taxpayer) could save tons of money.
Despite the outcry with cancellation of the space shuttle program in 2011, it appears that NASA has done well to put their faith in the private interest company controlled by Musk. SpaceX is currently the only company sending unmanned cargo rockets up to the International Space Station after Orbital Science’s Antares rocket burst into flames in October. NASA also has a $6.8 billion contract with SpaceX and Boeing for manned travel as soon as 2017. Way to go NASA.
And way to go Musk. But how does he do it? When asked on a Reddit “Ask Me Anything” chat earlier this week about what daily habit has the largest positive impact on his life, he simply said: "showering".
Ask The Big Question: With SpaceX and several other companies joining in on the hunt for affordable space travel, how soon do you think it will be before we start sending travelers to other planets?

From December 1997 to April 2015, the Tropical Rainfall
Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite has collected more than one
hundred million snapshots of various precipitation systems, or
so-called precipitation features, in tropics and subtropics.
Using these precipitation features, the properties of different
types of precipitation systems and their roles in the global
water and latent heat budget in the tropics and subtropics have
been studied extensively. Since the launch in February 2014, the
Global Precipitation Mission (GPM) core satellite, the successor
of TRMM, has provided more than four-year space borne
precipitation radar observations covering more than 90% of the
Earth. With a similar approach, twenty-three million
precipitation features have been defined by grouping the
contiguous precipitation areas indicated by precipitation radar.
This presentation briefly reviews what we have learned from more
than 17-year TRMM observations during the past decades, and
introduces exciting findings from the new GPM observations. The
topics include seasonal, diurnal variations of global
precipitation, deep convection, latent heating, as well as
severe weather monitoring with GPM constellation satellites.

1. Weather conditions in bases can cause aircraft not to fly (and reduce rate of training)
2. Limited Aviation support can cause aircraft to stay damaged longer and reduce training sortie rates.
To my knowledge there is no other effect.
You cannot talk about training programs without understanding how it all works. I have to talk about the factors that influence the rate of advancement in pilot experience and skill. Before all else, let me quote section 7 of the Pilot Management Addendum (I have edited a bit):
• Skill and experience training has been changed slightly. They both increase incrementally.
• Points are accumulated for each skill/experience and once a certain level is reached, a point is added to the actual skill/experience level.
• The cutover level is based on the current skill/experience level with some randomness thrown in. So as the skill/experience level increases, it takes more accumulated points to reach the next level.
• Combat gains points faster than straight training, and combat is generally required to reach 70+ skill/experience levels.
• Experience levels behave like skill levels with the one exception. If the Experience level is higher than the best skill by more than 5, then a skill, based on the group’s mission, might gains the accumulated points instead.
Groups can fly normal Training missions (with a training percent) which occur in the AM and PM air phases.
• These gain both skill and experience points.
• Groups will also gain skill and experience (after passing a training check against the training percent of the group) at the end of each day:
○ if the pilot’s experience is less 50 (plus pilot’s missions and kills) and less than the overall group experience level
○ if the pilot’s experience is less 50 (plus pilot’s missions and kills) and less than the leader’s skill
○ if pilot is in a dedicated Training group with some Instructors (adds higher increments to accumulators)
○ if pilot is in a dedicated Training group without Instructors (higher success and slightly higher increments than a normal group)
○ if pilot is in a group with some training percent (number of veteran pilots (experience of 80+) increases chance of successful training)"
I use the following terms to describe these factors:
• Training Flight Effects
• Group Experience Bonus
• Leader Bonus
Please note that the dedicated training squadrons were removed in a patch and do not exist in Scenario 1.
Experience Gain under 50 Exp
After performing a variety of tests on rates of training increase, there are three primary factors that influence training rates for pilots under 50 Exp:
1) Flying training missions: Each pilot that flies will gain some amount of experience, period. This does not mean that the pilot will gain a point in Exp or a skill like Air every turn. It means that the pilots will accumulate points toward skill and exp gains. To fly, they have to have a plane.
2) Pilots with Exp < 51 and a leader with Leadership rating greater than the pilots Exp will gain experience if he passes a flying check.
3) Pilots with experience less than the average experience of the group they are in will get some bonus experience.
After analyzing the testing results, the relative effects of the three sources of Exp gain for a given pilots rate of experience gain is something like the following:
The Leadership Bonus and Group Experience Bonus contribute approximately equal amounts to advancement. Training Flight Effects only apply to pilots that actually fly training missions, but each mission is approximately equal to the Leadership Bonus or the Group Experience bonus. Since up to 2 missions can be flown per pilot, per day, the Training Flight Effects can represent 50% of the pilot's advancement rate. The key factors in this are the number of planes (full complement of planes is best), training percentage (should always be 100%), and the weather (avoid monsoon, cold, northern zones for training). Veteran pilots appear to have some effect upon experience gain as well, but the impact seems to be lesser than the other three factors. It is difficult to quantify, but groups with Veteran pilots (81+ Exp) seemed to advance about 10% faster than similar groups with non-Veteran pilots.
Experience and Skill gain above 50 Exp
Experience gain above 50 seems to be solely influenced by flying missions, training or otherwise. None of the other bonuses appeared to have any effect, even when the mission count was increased as is suggested by the paragraph above from the Pilot Training Addendum. | aerospace |

What rocket will take the James Webb telescope?
The Ariane 5 rocket will be used to lift the James Webb Space Telescope into orbit. In addition to the launch vehicle, Europe is contributing to the mission in other ways. The Ariane 5 is one of the most dependable launch vehicles in the world, and it will be responsible for carrying Webb to its final destination in orbit.
Who will launch Webb telescope?
Webb is an international collaboration involving NASA, the European Space Agency, and the Canadian Space Agency (CSA). The Ariane 5 rocket carrying the telescope will take out from Europe’s Spaceport in French Guiana. In addition to providing launch services, the European Space Agency supplies two of the four research instruments, as well as personnel to assist with mission operations.
What will power the James Webb telescope?
The JWST spacecraft is powered by electricity supplied by the Electrical Power Subsystem. In addition to a set of solar panels and rechargeable batteries, the system includes a solar array regulator (SAR), a power control unit (PCU), and an acquisition device for telemetry data (TAU). Solar panels are devices that convert sunlight directly into electrical energy.
Will the James Webb telescope ever launch?
The Roman Space Telescope, which is intended to be the successor of the James Webb Space Telescope, was named in the traditional manner, following a deliberate process that included participation from the public.
What telescope will replace Hubble?
JWST stands for the James Webb Space Telescope, which is being constructed collaboratively by NASA, the European Space Agency (ESA), and the Canadian Space Agency. It will be launched into orbit in 2018. (CSA). It is intended to take over as NASA’s Flagship astrophysics project from the Hubble Space Telescope in 2018.
Where is Jwst now?
The bottom line is that the James Webb Space Telescope is the most complicated infrared telescope in the world. The telescope has already arrived in French Guiana, where it will be launched on an Ariane 5 rocket from Europe’s Spaceport on December 18, 2021, when it will be launched from Europe’s Spaceport.
How Far Will James Webb see?
How far back in time will Webb be able to see? We will be able to observe the universe at the time of the Big Bang, when the first stars and galaxies were forming, around a quarter of a billion years (and maybe as far back as 100 million years) after it began to develop.
Is James Webb much better than Hubble?
The Webb Space Telescope is the successor of the Hubble Space Telescope, and it is 100 times more powerful. The Webb telescope also has a larger mirror than Hubble, according to the Webb telescope website: “Because Webb has a larger light-collecting area than Hubble, it is capable of peering further back in time than Hubble.”
Why is Webb not serviceable like Hubble?
No. Webb, in contrast to Hubble, is not intended to be maintained. Webb’s orbital position is substantially further away than that of Hubble, circling beyond the Moon instead of orbiting close over the surface of the planet. This is the reason why the minimum science mission will last five years, with an aim of completing the mission in ten years.
How many light-years can Hubble see?
The furthest distant object that Hubble has observed is around 10-15 billion light-years away. The Hubble Deep Field is the name given to the area that has been seen from the deepest distance.
Can James Webb telescope see planets?
Exoplanets can be detected by the James Webb Space Telescope in as little as three days. According to the findings of the study, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) may detect exoplanets that are as far away as 60 light-years from Earth in as short as 60 hours, or about three days.
How long will James Webb last?
Webb’s mission lifespan after launch is expected to be at least 5-1/2 years, and it may perhaps endure for more than 10 years, according to current plans. The quantity of fuel required to keep the spacecraft in orbit, as well as the risk that Webb’s components would decay over time in the harsh environment of space, restrict the spacecraft’s lifespan.
Why is the James Webb Telescope taking so long?
The James Webb Space Telescope, which had been scheduled to launch in March 2021, will now launch no earlier than October 31, 2021, instead of March 2021 as previously planned. NASA officials blamed the delay on disturbances caused by the coronavirus epidemic as well as schedule revisions that began last winter, according to a press conference held on Thursday afternoon.
How does the james webb telescope work?
This is how Webb operates. Using infrared light, which cannot be seen by the human eye, Webb will be able to examine every aspect of the history of the universe. The four scientific instruments on the telescope are particularly built to collect infrared light, and they will be able to peek through cosmic dust to investigate things that are colder or more distant. | aerospace |

He said at a public enterprises department media briefing that Denel had delivered 11 Rooivalk at a cost of R6bn to the SA Air Force. Six more Rooivalk would be delivered to the SAAF later this year.
"We don't have new any orders presently in (the) pipeline," he said.
"We have committed to the SAAF to continue maintaining the aircraft for the duration of their lifetime."
Maintaining the attack helicopters would cost between R80m and R90m a year, he said.
"Denel Aviation will maintain these aircraft and has (the) capacity to maintain them.
"What happens, going forward... it is a situation we, with the air force, are reviewing."
Public Enterprises Minister Malusi Gigaba said despite many of its problems in previous years, Denel was starting to break even.
He said the company had secured orders in 2011/12 of more than R5bn to be delivered over the next five years.
Denel Aerostructures was due for a R700m capitalisation, to allow it to prepare itself for the serial manufacturing phase of a programme to provide a component to Airbus's A400M military aircraft programme.
"We need to be proud of fact Denel Aerostructures has designed one of the most complex and critical parts of this aircraft," Gigaba said. | aerospace |

There is water in the atmosphere of Venus, drenching the Earth, as permafrost and polar caps on Mars, and it is the major component of several moons of the outer Solar System, as well as much of the debris farther out in the Kuiper Belt and Oort Cloud. So it came as quite a surprise in the 1960s, when samples were brought back from the Moon for the first time, that the Moon was anhydrous, or without water. This was more profound than the lack of groundwater or permafrost; the water that is incorporated in many minerals on Earth was completely absent from lunar minerals.
This, actually, was predicted by the early lunar scientists. Water will evaporate at any atmospheric pressure and ice will sublimate at lunar temperatures and vacuum. Given the energetic solar radiation and wind the water molecules would be atomized and accelerated out of the weak lunar gravity field. Otherwise there would be a slight atmosphere of water and other volatives around the moon.
Though some scientist theorized that ice might be found in the cold polar craters that have not been exposed to solar radiation for billions of years, especially if the ice was covered by lunar regolith, it was not until 1994 that evidence of lunar ice was found by the Clementine lunar probe. Ice has a left-polarized radar refelection that was observed by Clementine at both lunar poles. The evidence for ice on the moon was greatly strengthened by Lunar Prospector's neutron radiation data. Lunar Prospector observed the background or cosmic neutron radiation and the neutron radiation from the moon as it orbited. It found back scattered neutron energy consistent with hydrogen but only at the poles. Water was further confirmed by NASA's LCROSS lunar impact mission and India’s Chandrayaan-I lunar orbiter radar. The estimate of lunar ice has risen to millions of tons, somewhat more on the north pole than south.
Water and Life
Water is of course a primary component of life as we know it. The near total lack of water on the Moon struck quite a blow to lunar settlement plans. One of the components of water, oxygen, is abundant on the Moon, since many lunar rocks are oxides. It will take energy and machines to win this oxygen. Some hydrogen is also trapped in the lunar regolith, deposited by the solar wind, but it is very thin (Blacic, ref. below, states 100 ppm by weight) (ppm = parts per million). Finding hydrogen deposits in the cold trap areas of the lunar poles, presumably water ice but possibly some other ices as well, such as methane (CH4), has caused many planners to regard the poles as initial base candidates. Such hydrogen as can be found there, in whatever form, should probably not be squandered, but kept religiously in the lunar economy, being circulated and recirculated as water, carbohydrates, etc.
Water and Fuel
Some people see the ice deposits at the lunar pole cold traps as a source of cheap rocket fuel. Hydrogen, though, is used to reduce metal oxides to metals releasing the oxygen in the ore as water. The water would then be hydrolyzed to recycle the hydrogen and produce pure oxygen. Use as a fuel would be extremely wasteful of a vital ore processing resource, at least until a better or cheaper hydrogen source can be found from comets or outer moons. Other substances, such as aluminum or magnesium with oxygen should be used for rocket fuel. These elements are very abundant on the moon.
Water and Glass
In Lunar Bases and Space Activities of the Twenty-first Century (W.W. Mendell, ed., 1985), James D. Blacic of Los Alamos National Laboratory wrote about "Mechanical Properties of Lunar Materials Under Anhydrous, Hard Vacuum Conditions: Applications of Lunar Glass Structural Components" (p.487). He states that, "Hydrolysis of Si-O bonds at crack tips or dislocations reduces the strength of silicates by about an order of magnitude in Earth environments." This means that lunar anhydrous glass is about an order of magnitude (10x) stronger than Earth glass we are familiar with, and can be useful as a structural component. Experiments confirm this. Anhydrous lunar glass or glass composites can be made into "a lightweight structural material with several hundred thousand psi tensile strength."
This also has implications for geology and material handling on the Moon. The glass fraction of regolith will be much harder than we would otherwise expect, and this will make tools and machines wear more quickly. In geology, it implies that the glass matrix component of lunar basalts (about 52% ) is much stronger on the Moon than on Earth, and this may translate to a much wider span being supportable than the roughly 340m theoretical maximum based on simple extrapolation of Earth basalt to the Moon (an order of magnitude, Earth maximum being approximately 30 meters). This possibility is supported by circumstantial evidence (Coombs & Hawke, 1992) that lunar lavatube caves may reach a kilometer or more in span (diameter). Note that due to the evidence of flowing water on Mars, its basalt may be no stronger than Earth basalt, and maximum size of its lavatubes may be roughly 150 meters (back of envelope calculation). | aerospace |

SAAB TO UPGRADE ROYAL THAI AIR FORCE AIR COMMAND AND CONTROL SYSTEM
07 August 2018
Saab has received an order from the Royal Thai Air Force to upgrade Thailand’s national Air Command and Control System which is based on Saab’s 9AIR C4I.
Saab will upgrade and further enhance the Royal Thai Air Force’s Air Command and Control System (ACCS) which is based on Saab’s 9AIR C4I product and has been in operation with the Royal Thai Air Force since 2010. The system is a core part of Thailand’s network centric air defence capability which also includes Saab’s Gripen fighter, Erieye airborne early warning system and tactical data links.
Saab’s upgrade proposal for the Thai system was selected through a comprehensive evaluation process and demonstrates that Saab can ensure that the system remains fully operational, effective and future-proofed.
“This order demonstrates the competiveness of the 9AIR C4I product. Our advanced Air Command and Control System provides the Royal Thai Air Force with a vital part of its air defence system,” says Anders Carp, Senior Vice President and Head of Saab’s business area Surveillance.
The ACCS upgrade combines new hardware and software that will sustain, enhance and expand the system’s nationwide capabilities for future operations. The work will take place at Saab in Järfälla, Sweden and the contract will run until 2020.
9AIR C4I is Saab’s tactical air operations command and control system. It provides situational awareness and complete control of weapons, sensors and communications.
9AIR TOCCS COMMAND THE BATTLESPACE
The 9AIR C4I concept: complete control for all weapons, sensors and communications.
The missions that air forces face today, and those that will come tomorrow, demand the ability to seamlessly implement different strategies. This can range from peacekeeping operations, air policing missions and border patrol to full combat and joint war scenarios.
The 9AIR C4I family is scalable and flexible, providing control for all missions, air forces and operations. It provides the situational awareness and communications that operators need to make the right choices, and to act on them swiftly and effectively.
COMMAND THE BATTLESPACE
The 9AIR TOCCS turns information into knowledge, and knowledge into action.
The system enables flexible, effective operations. This increases its customers’ mission capability. The solution is modular and scalable, allowing unique software connectivity and interoperability. Its design means that it is quick and affordable to install and support.
The operationally-proven 9AIR TOCCS solution is the result of development, innovation and in-service experience spanning over 70 years. It enables straightforward integration of any third-party module, and likewise enables any 9AIR TOCCS module to be integrated with equipment from other providers. This gives you complete freedom of choice, alongside flexible technology which can be adapted to meet specific needs and requirements.
The level of systems integration you can achieve is directly proportional to the level of situational awareness you gain. Full integration enables efficient information sharing and simplified decision making.
Sweden is one of just five countries in the world with the ability to develop and integrate complete air power systems. This means that working with Saab enables you to access comprehensive integration expertise. We deliver the ability to bring all your systems together into a network-enabled solution: a system of systems environment.The 9AIR TOCCS is the central element in this environment. It is the connecting enabler in the network. With the capability to plan and task all air operations, it forms the hub that allows information to flow between all systems and assets.
We have proven our capabilities as a Lead Systems Integrator (LSI) by successfully conducting a number of large-scale projects. We have more than 70 years of experience in systems integration, working both as a LSI and a partner.

In an exclusive interview with the Roswell Daily Record, Pablo Ducau, President of Latin America for Aerospace Security (ALAS), an organization recently officially introduced during the first session in the Mexican Congress related to the UAP phenomenon (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena), reveals its purpose and shares his remarkable personal experience with a UAP while piloting a commercial aircraft.
Last September, during the first session in the Mexican Congress concerning UAPs, ALAS was officially presented, an organization dedicated to providing a secure and objective space for people to freely report encounters with unexplained aerospace phenomena. This initiative aims to address the challenges faced by pilots and witnesses of UAP sightings, who often feel discouraged from sharing their experiences due to fears of repercussions.
Pablo Ducau, with an impressive aviation career spanning 41 years and over 16,000 flight hours, shared his encounter with a UAP that took place on November 23, 2011, during a commercial flight, an event that marked a turning point in his life.
Ducau recounted how, on a clear night with good visibility, he spotted a luminous object in the sky that initially appeared to be a red star but turned out to be much larger. Surprisingly, after inquiring about it, air traffic control had no communication with the object, which heightened his astonishment. The object changed color and stayed close to the aircraft, accompanying it for a while before accelerating and disappearing at astonishing speeds, defying any known conventional technology.
Ducau emphasized the impossibility of a conventional aircraft performing such maneuvers without endangering the lives of passengers and the aircraft itself, raising serious questions about the nature of these UAPs. He also noted that the object had entered the airspace of two countries, Chile and Argentina.
Despite officially reporting the incident, his initial report was disregarded due to the absence of video or photographic evidence. However, over time, Ducau learned that his report had been destroyed during a document declassification process, raising serious doubts about the transparency of those responsible for preserving such records.
These events led Ducau to be part of the formation of ALAS, whose name reflects its purpose: “Latin America for Aerospace Security.” The organization seeks to provide a secure and confidential environment for witnesses of UAP encounters to report their experiences without fear of repercussions. ALAS aims to advocate for the declassification of information related to these phenomena and advocate for a more serious approach from governments and the aerospace community in Latin America.
Pablo Ducau highlighted that in Mexico, the foundations are being laid to declare the UAP phenomenon of national interest, and he believes that other countries will follow suit. As ALAS grows and expands, its goal is to promote open communication and collaboration among pilots and UAP witnesses across Latin America.
The mission of ALAS is clear: to demystify the stigma surrounding UAP witnesses, provide a platform for sharing experiences, and encourage serious and objective research into these aerospace phenomena. As the organization progresses, a deeper understanding of what is happening in our skies and beyond may be revealed. | aerospace |

For years, the
Czech Republic has been the breeding ground of legendary
high-performance aircraft. So it should come as no surprise
to discover that many of today?s field of Light Sport
Aircraft can trace their roots to this European aviation
And that is where Gobosh went to find an aircraft
manufacturing partner to fill the high-performance low-wing
niche in the product line.
Granted the FAA limits LSA
performance to a maximum speed of 120 knots but within the
sport aircraft class, the 800XP has no equal. In fact, the
800XP had to be artificially slowed down to make it LSA
The 800XP represents
the ultimate all-composite Light Sport Aircraft. The
structural composite design is similar to that
employed by the world?s most successful personal
aircraft and commercial aircraft manufacturers and
even the United States military. Structural
composite means that the airframe itself provides
the strength without the need for a supplemental
metal frame beneath a composite skin.
the nature of composites means that a sleek fuselage
mated to high-performance laminar flow wing results
in an aerodynamically efficient, safe and fast
airframe. It?s no wonder that a retractable variant
of the 800XP holds numerous world speed records.
brought the 800XP to life through a collaboration of
with the Kabrt Brothers, the most productive and
successful airframe designers in the LSA class.
Their other airframes are already renowned for their
popularity and quality. However the 800XP is the
Kabrt Brother?s crowning achievement whose design
and performance surpasses all previous work.
makes the 800XP available with the Dynon Glass Panel
supported by select Garmin components to complete
the technologically advanced feel of the 800XP. This
parachute-equipped all-composite beauty has ramp
appeal unlike any other Luxury Sport Aircraft inside
and out. So when only the best in class modern sport
aircraft will do ? the 800XP stands alone.

Gravity data from NASA's GRAIL mission suggests that Oceanus Procellarum is surrounded by a buried rift system.
Figure 1: An artist's concept of what the rifts that form a border around Oceanus Procellarum might have looked like while they were flooded with lava. Image credit: NASA / Colorado School of Mines / MIT / JPL / GSFC.
Gravity Maps Reveal Ancient Rifts
New gravity maps prepared using data from NASA's Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory (GRAIL) spacecraft reveal that Oceanus Procellarum, the largest lunar mare, was not formed by a massive asteroid impact. Instead, it is an area that was flooded by lava from an extensive rift system (Figure 1). This discovery appears to rewrite the geologic history for the near side of the moon.
Figure 2: Image of the near side of the moon from the Galileo Spacecraft showing the dark Oceanus Procellarum spanning across the northwestern quadrant. Image credit: NASA/JPL.
An Impact Structure or a Rift-Bounded Basin?
Oceanus Procellarum is a large lunar mare with an irregular outline that spans the northwest quadrant of the moon's near side. It is one of the largest features on the moon, with a relatively flat surface and a width of approximately 1,800 miles (Figure 2).
In the mid-1970s, many lunar scientists favored the theory that Oceanus Procellarum was produced by an enormous asteroid impact. The impact would have occurred early in the moon's history because lava flows within Oceanus Procellarum are over 3 billion years old. 1
Such a large asteroid would have penetrated the moon's crust and produced a round crater that would have been quickly flooded with lava from the moon's interior. During the 3 billion years after the impact, the round shape of the crater was thought to have been obscured by later impacts, ejecta, lava flows, and other activity. 2
Recent gravity mapping using data from NASA's GRAIL spacecraft suggests a new origin for the moon's largest mare. The edges of Oceanus Procellarum appear to be bounded by an extensive rift system. Over 3 billion years ago, these rifts produced an outpouring of lava that flooded the area of the current Oceanus Procellarum and produced the relatively smooth surface that it has today (Figure 3). 3
Figure 3: The red in this image represents the pattern of rifting around Oceanus Procellarum inferred by gravity anomalies from the Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory (GRAIL) mission. This rectangular outline is thought to be the remnant of a rift system that delivered magma to the surface of the moon's near side, flooding low-lying areas with lava. The rectangular outline differs from the circular outline expected for an asteroid impact structure. The pattern resembles fractures that develop in materials in response to thermal stress. 2 Image credit: Ernie Wright, NASA Scientific Visualization Studio. Enlarge map.
How the GRAIL Satellites Work
NASA's GRAIL mission consisted of a pair of satellites that orbited the moon at an altitude of about 34 miles. They collected gravity measurements capable of revealing density differences in the lunar subsurface as well as the thickness of the lunar crust.
The satellites flew in close formation. As they passed over areas of the moon with greater and lesser gravity, the distance between the satellites was modified by the strength of the moon's gravitational attraction. These distance changes were then used to produce gravity and crustal thickness maps of the moon (Figure 4).

Figure 4: Bouguer gravity and crustal thickness maps of the near side of the moon. The gravity map reveals the locations of impact craters and the inferred rift systems. The crustal thickness map reveals a very thin crust beneath obvious impact structures but a crust of irregular thickness beneath Oceanus Procellarum. 3 Image credit: NASA Scientific Visualization Studio.

Revealed by Gravity Mapping
Here is what researchers did and did not find in the GRAIL data:
1) They found gravity features that suggest a buried rift system that forms a rectangular outline around the Oceanus Procellarum (the location of this proposed rift system is shown in red in Figure 3). 4 The rectangular outline of the rift system closely matches the current shape of Oceanus Procellarum and is unlike what would be expected in response to an asteroid impact. The gravity features thought to be rifts can also be seen in red on the gravity map (Figure 5).
2) They found distinct circular gravity features under all the moon's obvious large impact craters (These appear as the circular red features in Figure 4).
3) They did not find a similar circular gravity feature beneath Oceanus Procellarum. Instead, gravity values suggested a crust of variable thickness in that area (Figure 4) 5.
Oceanus Procellarum Was Not Formed by Impact
The gravity data from the GRAIL mission appears to kill the impact formation theory for Oceanus Procellarum. Instead, it supports a formation created by flood basalts from a massive rift system.

Understanding What You Can't Observe Directly
This new idea for the formation of Oceanus Procellarum is a theory based upon remotely collected information. It might be correct or cast aside as new ideas or new information become available. Even if a team of humans visited the moon and collected drilling or seismic data across Oceanus Procellarum, their ability to improve on this theory might not be possible. The answer is difficult to "know" because the available data will always be fragmentary and subject to interpretation. | aerospace |

Video released by the Russian defense ministry on Friday shows the hypersonic glider warheads being loaded onto silo-based missiles. For now, the Avangards will be mounted on the UR-100N (or SS-19 Stiletto, as NATO calls them) ballistic missiles, until the RS-28 Sarmat is ready to enter service.
Hypersonic weapons fly far faster than the speed of sound. Avangard is capable of reaching Mach 27 without losing control or disintegrating under heat and pressure. This means that the weapon can outmaneuver any defenses on its approach phase, rendering it “absolutely invulnerable to any air or missile defense system,” in the words of Russian President Vladimir Putin. | aerospace |

We are now running RT refresher courses to brush up those RT skills and ensure you can talk to ATC with confidence and get the service you require to conduct a safe flight.
The course will comprise:
- 1. A classroom session to go over the basics plus revision in detail of:
- How to request a transit through controlled airspace such as the Class D Brize Norton Zone
- How to request a MATZ penetration & transit
- How to select and request the appropriate en-route service outside of controlled airspace
- Departure & Arrival procedures at an aerodrome with an ATC service
- Departure & Arrival procedures at an aerodrome with a FISO service
- Distress & Urgency procedures
Course Cost £100
- 2. Practical exercises.
We now have the a software package that will allow us to conduct practical exercises in the classroom so that participants can put the theory into practice. We have put together a number of exercises designed to cover all the scenarios a pilot is likely to face when flying in the local area or taking part in a fly out or cross country navigation. Each exercise will include a 'pre-flight' brief, simulated flight in which the student will contact ATC units along the route and a full de-brief.
A confident approach to RT will open up new horizons and make cross country navigation more enjoyable, safer and quicker.
We can also customise courses for individual needs – please contact the office for more information.

Ground accidents occur during ground operations i.e. as personnel of ground handling companies, maintenance organisations and other airport service providers are servicing the aircraft. The outcome of ground accidents is rarely fatal, but very expensive for the industry. IATA records a total of US$5.7 billion in 2021.
Each ground accident results in direct repair costs and consequential losses for the airline such as loss of revenue, cost of flight diversions and passenger compensation claims due to cancellations and delay. The bill to the airline is US$250K on average for each accident and recovery attempts often result in complex legal disputes between carriers, airport service providers and their insurers.
A myriad of factors contribute to the high frequency of ground accidents. Weather conditions, human errors and the operational pressure of turnaround demand on ramps of busy airports. Ground accidents and their ensuing legal battles are inevitable in a country such as Turkey, since two of its airports are in the world’s top ten for passenger traffic.
Legal framework of the contractual relationship between an airline and ground handling company is predominantly the IATA Standard Ground Handling Agreement (SGHA) which is also the legal standard in Turkey. Its renowned Article 8 governs the contractual liability of the parties for the damages caused on ground and grants a liability protection to the handling company which is often criticised of being “anti-airline”. The controversial article sets out two types of limitation: First, it limits the ground handlers liability for consequential losses only to damages which are caused through intentional or reckless acts and excludes negligence. Secondly it activates a financial cap to the amount payable for physical loss or aircraft damage through negligence.
The effectiveness of this “handling company friendly” limitation of liability is open to legal debates. Some courts in China and Italy have taken broad interpretation of the elements of contractual liability under Article 8.1 (“intent to cause damage/loss or recklessness with knowing that damage/loss would probably result”) thus stretching the ground handlers liability to cover its high degree negligence. This allows some airlines to recover their consequential losses from ground handling companies. For some other jurisdictions the key question is whether such limitation of liability is indeed valid under that legal system.
Under Turkish law, an agreement made in advance to limit the liability for damages arising from unlawful intent or gross negligence is universally void. The same rule applies to agreements aimed to relieve an expert service provider which is acting under a professional or official licence from their liability even for minor negligence.
In Turkey ground handlers are expert aviation companies carrying out their ground operations under an official licence granted to them by the Turkish CAA. Hence, in our opinion the limitation of liability in Article 8 of IATA’s SGHA is void under Turkish law. Turkish ground handling companies are without any contractual immunity liable from the direct and consequential damages of losses of a ground accident if the choice of law in the SGHA is the Turkish law.

Russian scientists have developed a project of upgrading intercontinental ballistic missiles to destroy near-Earth meteorites 20-50 meters in size, leading researcher of the Makeyev Rocket Design Bureau Sabit Saitgarayev told TASS on Thursday.
The scientists would like to test the improved missiles’ capabilities against the asteroid Apophis expected to come dangerously close to the Earth in 2036, the scientist said.
“Most rockets work on boiling fuel. Their fueling begins 10 days before the launch and, therefore, they are unfit for destroying meteorites similar to the Chelyabinsk meteorite in diameter, which are detected several hours before coming close to the Earth. For this purpose, intercontinental ballistic missiles can be used, which requires their upgrade,” the scientist said.
The improved missiles could be used as the killers of the Apophis asteroid, “which will come dangerously close to the Earth in 2036,” he added.
Several million US dollars and the authorities’ permission are required to modernize ICBMs, the scientist said, without specifying, however, whether the required funds and the authorization for these works were available.
The scientist said design works in this area were already under way.
The Makeyev Design Bureau specializing in long-range rockets was established on December 16, 1947. The company was engaged in developing the serial production of rockets designed by the OKB-1 design bureau led by famous Soviet rocket designer Sergei Korolyov.
In the mid-1950s, the Makeyev design bureau switched to developing ballistic missiles for submarines. Now the company is engaged in scientific research and developments to create rocket and space systems, as well as space vehicles and their units and parts. | aerospace |

Pilot Joseph Lepore was told by the tower in Sao Jose dos Campos to maintain an altitude of 37,000 feet as he flew the jet beyond Brasilia on a northwest path to Manaus, the Folha de S. Paulo quoted the transcript as saying.
That altitude contradicted the pilots' filed flight plan as well as established norms, which reserve odd-numbered altitudes for southbound flights.
The Defense Ministry was not immediately able to confirm the report, spokeswoman Flavia de Oliveira said Thursday, and won't have more information until air force officials return Monday from Canada, where black boxes from both planes were sent for analysis.
Folha, Brazil's largest-circulation daily, did not reveal how it obtained the transcript. The air force, which oversees Brazil's air traffic controllers, has not released it to Brazilian federal police or to National Transportation Safety Board investigators.
All 154 people aboard Gol Airlines Flight 1907 were killed when the Boeing 737 crashed into the Amazon jungle on Sept. 29 after clipping the Embraer Legacy 600 executive jet.
The Legacy's pilots - employees of ExcelAire Service Inc. of Ronkonkoma, N.Y. - were flying the Brazilian-made jet on its maiden voyage back to New York, and managed to land the badly damaged jet safely.

Although inactive, it was originally allotted to the Sixth Corps Area. In 1929 the squadron was designated as a "Regular Army Inactive" unit. Although remaining inactive as a regular unit, officers of the Organized Reserves were assigned to the unit and performed summer training with the squadron at Kelly Field for the next few years.
During World War II, the squadron flew P-40 Warhawk, P-39 Airacobra, P-47 Thunderbolt, and P-38 Lightning fighters in a number of Pacific Theater campaigns. These included the defense of New Guinea and the battle for the Philippines. They moved to Fukuoka, Japan at the end of the war. When the communist forces attacked the Republic of Korea in June 1950, the 36th found itself in the fight from the beginning of the conflict. Flying F-80 Shooting Stars, the squadron attacked advancing North Korean tanks, trucks, artillery, and troops.
The unit later converted back to the piston-engined F-51 Mustang, considered more suitable for operations in Korea. The 36th ended the war equipped with F-86 Sabres, flying bombing and strafing missions against enemy air fields. The 36th returned to Japan after the Korean War, operating out of Itazuke Air Base for the next 10 years.
During the Vietnam War, the 36th flew combat missions into Southeast Asia from Korat Royal Thai Air Force Base. 36th pilots flew F-105 Thunderchiefs, escorting rescue aircraft and suppressing anti-aircraft fire. The squadron was re-equipped with F-4 Phantom II fighters in December 1967 and stationed at Yokota Air Base, Japan, with regular deployments to Kunsan Air Base beginning in March 1971. The 36th moved to Kunsan in May 1971, establishing a forward operating location at Osan Air Base. The squadron permanently moved to Osan and was assigned to the 51st Composite Wing (Tactical) in September 1974.
The 36th ushered in the era of the "Viper" on 10 August 1988, when squadron commander Lieutenant Colonel Al Spitzer landed the first F-16 Fighting Falcon at Osan. The squadron's combat capabilities were transformed in 1990 when the squadron converted to the Block 40 Low Altitude Navigational and Targeting Infrared for Night (LANTIRN) F-16C/D. The addition of LANTIRN gave the Fiends the current ability to fly at low levels and deliver precision guided munitions during nighttime conditions. Upgrades to the Block 40 in recent years have included GBU-31 JDAM capability for all weather precision engagement.
The 36th FS, more recently, have begun training with the AIM-9X Sidewinder and the AN/AAQ-33 Sniper XR Advanced Targeting Pod. Additionally, in the Spring of 2012 the Fiends acquired the AN/ASQ-213 HARM Targeting System, becoming the first Block 40 SEAD squadron in the United Stated Air Force.

The program helps NASA add several recipes to the cook-book for astronauts on-board.
The competition held at Space Center Houston, saw twenty-eight teams of high school students participate in the preliminary level. Out of these, the judging panel selected 10 teams for the next level.
The panel of judges included, Karen Nyberg, NASA Johnson Space Center food scientists and also representatives from the International Space Station Program Office and Engineering. The panel also had professional chefs. The judges tasted and evaluated the desserts. Along with the taste evaluation, the teams also submitted a technical paper and a video.
“Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp” won the heart and taste bud of the judges. The winning team is the culinary arts team from Ulster County Boces Career and Technical Center. The dessert will soon fly to the International Space Station for the astronauts on-board.
The team’s recipe will find a place in an astronaut cookbook for preflight preparation. The Space Food Systems Laboratory will make it stable, pack and send it to the ISS.
The recipe of the tasty, crispy dessert that astronauts will soon find on their plates, is given below.
Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp
Yield: About 10 Servings
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- ½ cup coconut sugar
- ¼ tsp salt
- 5 2/3 Tbsp unsalted butter margarine blend, cold and also diced into small pieces

Reports say all 16 jumped off board and two other remained on the plane as it crashed, a pilot and a seven year old boy.
It's reported that both the pilot and the child are seriously injured.
There is a rescue/recovery operation underway but Gardai have not confirmed any deaths at this point.
Gardai said: "Gardaí and emergency services are at the scene of an aircraft crash close to Clonbullogue, Co. Offaly.
"At 2.25pm on Sunday 13th May 2018 an aircraft took off from Clonbullogue Airfield with 16 parachutists on board.
"All 16 made their jump from the craft. However, witnesses then saw the aircraft crash shortly afterwards.
"There were two people on board, the pilot and a seven-year-old boy. The pilot is believed to be a UK National.
"The plane was later located a number of kilometres from the airfield crashed in bogland.
"A rescue/recovery operation is under way. There is no confirmation of any deaths at this point in time."
UPDATE: The pilot and young boy have died following the plane crash.
RTE report that the bodies of the pilot and boy were recovered from the fuselage of the aircraft where it crashed in a bog near Edenderry in the last hour.
They will now be brought for a post-mortem to the Midland Regional Hospital in Tullamore.
The Air Accident Investigation team will continue their inquiry in the morning.
Gardaí and emergency services remain at the scene.
It is understood the pilot is from the UK, while the boy is the son of a member of the Parachute Club.
The Air Accident Investigation Unit has confirmed it is investigating the circumstances of the crash.
A spokesperson for the unit said they were alerted just after 3pm.
A team of three investigators was dispatched immediately.
The investigators remain there this evening. | aerospace |

The years have sped by, and I’m still asking why, but in reference to Mars now.
What’s there that’s so valuable? I still haven’t read about a good reason for going to the moon yet.
Moon rocks are cool, but hardly worth billions of dollars in getting them. Moon walking hasn’t resulted in anything benefiting mankind (unless you count Michael Jackson’s cool dance step – the moonwalk).
So now it’s off to Mars, and more glory?
Enter the Dutch-based Mars One venture. The idea behind Mars One is to jump-start Red Planet settlement, and fund the endeavor with billions of dollars' worth of sponsorships and media deals.
A colony on Mars? SpaceX's billionaire founder, Elon Musk, is due to unveil his own long-term plan for Mars odysseys by the end of this year.
Last week's meeting of the NASA Advisory Council, space agency officials provided the outline of their "Evolvable Mars Campaign," a long-term effort to develop the technologies needed for human missions to Mars.
Colonies. Numerous missions. So what?
I don’t see any benefit to planet hopping and forming colonies on inhospitable planets. If we end up polluting the earth so badly it becomes inhabitable, we don’t deserve another opportunity – even a less than desirable one.
Some advisers are even talking about grabbing a rock from one of Mars' moons, Phobos or Deimos, and bringing it back for study. Let me ask you, what have we done with moon rocks thus far?
Collecting rocks from planets is not my idea of advancing the human race.
Instead of settling for planets that aren’t human friendly, perhaps more emphasis should be directed towards other universes and planets that might be compatible with human life.
I know. Silly me.
Even if we don’t find one, it’s still a better idea than collecting samples from uninhabitable planets that appear to offer little, or no, advantages to exploring them and especially living on them!
Time for me to walk on down the road… | aerospace |

By Chuck de Caro
Given the US and NATO reluctance to establish a No-Fly Zone or to overtly provide surplus Polish Migs-29 to the Ukrainians, the United States might want to reconsider the entire concept of a “No Fly Zone,” an air exclusion zone over a defined area through which hostile aircraft will be intercepted and destroyed.
In the recent past, over Iraq for example, this meant lots of USAF and coalition jets and their pilots trying creating air dominance over large sections of that country.
Attempting to create air dominance over Ukraine in the face of belligerent Vladimir Putin and his very large, well-equipped air force would certainly lead to escalation of the worst kind. This is especially true of the contemporary Putin, who would see it as a gigantic dare which he would immediately take.
What is really needed in Ukraine is local air superiority over specific zones at specific times, an economy of force evolution much like laying land mines to canalize enemy ground forces. Why not create a fluid “flying minefield” to canalize enemy air forces?
It would be possible to re-purpose the MQ-9 REAPER UAV fleet into a “Flying Minefield” to attrit the Russian Air Force. in lieu of establishing a No-Fly Zone.
Due to time constraints, it is imperative to use operational Reapers rather than bone-yard Predators for this mission; as USAF Air Combat Command seems to be
“unhappy” with the Reapers, this should be a rather painless method for eroding Russian air dominance.
Given the shock effect needed upon the Russian force as a whole, it is imperative to sell the whole fleet of MQ-9s to Ukraine, paint them with Ukrainian markings and transport them by ground across the border.
Meanwhile USAF UAV satellite control stations should be leased to the Ukrainians, then moved from Nellis AFB to a friendly non-NATO country in the northern hemisphere. Contractor personnel would be hired to train Ukrainian operators to actually fly the missions. Only US civilian contractor personnel will be on the ground in Ukraine training Ukrainians to support the aircraft.
Next, downsize the old USMC Short Airfield for Tactical Support (SATS) with launchers and arresting gear and adapt them for Reaper operations. The little airstrips can then be emplaced and re-emplaced at frequent intervals in Ukraine to keep from being targeted by Russian bombing.
Alternately, appropriate roadways can be used, with or without the launch and recovery gear.
Strip the Reapers of any advanced sensors leaving just the Electro Optical camera ball, and arm each of the Reapers with 12 Stinger missiles.
Launch flights of four Reapers flying in wide, line-abreast “combat spread.” The breadth of the formation will be set as to optimize the hemispherical Stinger kill zone in front of the Reapers.
The UAVs will fly at low altitude (but above light anti-aircraft fire) and at low air speed to take advantage of radar ground clutter and the “digital notch” so that Russian moving target indicator (MTI) radars will have a hard time seeing them.
Meanwhile, flying over friendly territory, USAF and NATO E-3 AWACS aircraft are watching for Bogies flying across the Ukrainian border. The bogey data can then be satellited to the UAV control station and the Ukrainians can maneuver their flight of lumbering Reapers as if they were a WWII U-boat wolf pack using rudeltaktik:
Fly the Reapers in the general direction of the enemy, plodding along until the hostile aircraft are in range. Then ripple launch all missiles in a volley.
Russian aircraft must then dodge a wave of 48 heat-seeking missiles, at close range, with no prior intelligence as to the missiles point of origin, no radar warning receiver (RWR) alert tone, and not nearly enough IR decoy flares.
The advantages of this “flying minefield” are:
1.) No direct US or NATO aircraft involvement over the combat zone.
2.) Local and temporary zones in which Russian air superiority will be eroded.
3.) No US military personnel on the ground, just a handful of contractors.
4.) SATS strips make targeting difficult for the Russians.
5.) Flying Minefields make the Russians’ planning and logistics problems worse.
6.) Russian laying siege on Ukrainian cities will have to be diverted against the Reapers.
The beauty of a flying minefield is that all the parts are off-the-shelf and can be deployed quickly without the effect of challenging the Russians to defeat an in-your-face NATO no fly zone. | aerospace |

Actually, to be more specific, Morgan Stanley Research recently reported that the market for flying cars or “air taxis” should continue to mature over the next decade and soar to $1.5 trillion globally, while an urban air study by Frost & Sullivan foresees air taxis beginning in 2022 and expanding by 45%, compounded annually, so expect to see more deals like Lilium’s agreement with the city of Orlando to launch its first “flying taxis” air transportation hub, which may be followed by a “vertiport” in Lake Nona, a planned futuristic smart city. Companies that are leading the technology revolution in this sector include Xeriant (OTCPK: XERI), Toyota (NYSE: TM), Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN), Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOG) and Walmart (NYSE: WMT).
The confluence of technologies range from approved drone delivery for Amazon, UPS, and others, to companies that are looking to transition their current technologies into this space, like Tesla, as well as industry specialists that are quickly pushing the UAM engineering envelope.
The drone industry has grown so fast that the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI) team, which started collecting information on every unmanned platform they could identify in 2010 has already identified over 30 specific application areas for each vehicle in the database, ranging from imaging to precision agriculture and search & rescue, with each platform categorized into market(s) for which it is being applied, i.e., academic, civil, commercial, consumer, or military.
AUVSI teamed up with the Danish Technological Institute (DTI) to release a report, “Global Trends of Unmanned Aerial Systems”, which analyzes data from AUVSI’s Unmanned Systems and Robotics Database and finds that 80 percent of patents associated with unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) technologies have been published since 2016, demonstrating the exponential growth of the unmanned systems industry.
Xeriant, Inc. (OTCPK: XERI) BREAKING NEWS: XERIANT AWARDED NEW HALO AIRCRAFT PATENT – Xeriant, Inc., a new aerospace technology holding company, announced today that an additional utility patent has been issued by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office related to its Halo aircraft technology, strengthening its October 2019 patent. Both utility patents are retroactive to Halo’s original 2007 continuation patent application date, and therefore have the benefit of preceding numerous drone or UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) patent filings and claims.
Halo is a development-stage eVTOL (electric vertical takeoff and landing) powered lift aircraft that has been designed to seamlessly transition from vertical to forward flight by altering the direction of its propulsive thrust by approximately 90 degrees. Powered lift aircraft combine the VTOL capability and small logistical footprint of helicopters with the cruise speed, fuel efficiency and range of conventional fixed wing airplanes. Halo’s unique and scalable tiltwing configuration, which features a pivoting cylindrical wing structure and a central axle-mounted payload area, can also accommodate a range of propulsion systems, including ducted lift fans and distributed electric rotors, as well as various stability and control systems.
When fully developed, Xeriant plans to introduce the innovative Halo platform as a small high-performance UAV for commercial applications such as inspections, surveying, surveillance, delivery and imagery, which is expected to compete favorably with other eVTOL UAV aircraft in terms of speed, acoustics, payload, maneuverability, efficiency, range and safety. Depending on the success of the small UAV model, Xeriant may begin to develop a larger scale Halo aircraft model for the emerging UAM (urban air mobility) market or a variant for military applications. UAM, which is part of advanced air mobility, refers to on-demand passenger or cargo transport in congested environments.
Halo was chosen to be a finalist presenter, out of approximately 70 companies, at the November 2019 Florida Aerospace Capital Forum.
“UAVs represent one of the most dynamic growth sectors in aerospace, with applications expanding into almost every industry. Empowered by innovation, these new aerial vehicles promise to make aviation a greater part of our daily lives, so are pleased with the additional patent protection on our Halo technology, as it supports our efforts to establish our position in this space,” stated Xeriant CEO, Keith Duffy.

Other recent developments in electric transportation technologies include:
Toyota Motor Company (NYSE:TM) invested $394 million in Electric Air Taxi Joby Aviation’s $590 million Series C financing, for electric air taxi service. Joby also announced a separate agreement with UBER to introduce its air taxi in at least 2 cities enabling customers to purchase using the Uber app. Joby will now need to gain approval from the FAA and other regulatory agencies.
Alphabet’s (NASDAQ: GOOG) Wing Aviation LLC is collaborating with FedEx Express and Walgreens to launch a first-of-its-kind drone delivery service in Christiansburg, Virginia. The pilot program will demonstrate the many benefits of drone delivery to communities by exploring methods to enhance last-mile delivery service, improve access to health care products, and create a new avenue of growth for local businesses.
Drone delivery in the United States has historically been limited to small-scale demonstrations on designated test sites, or extremely short flights along pre-planned, fixed routes – all within the visual line of sight of the drone operator. Earlier this year, Wing became the first drone operator to be certified as an air carrier by the Federal Aviation Administration, allowing it to deliver commercial goods to recipients that may be miles away. Wing’s pilot program in Virginia will be conducted as part of the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Unmanned Aircraft System Integration Pilot Program (IPP).
Walmart (NYSE: WMT), in partnership with Flytrex, a provider of B2C drone delivery solutions, formally announced the launch of on-demand drone delivery in Fayetteville, North Carolina. The pilot program allows consumers to have grocery, and household essential items, delivered from Walmart stores near the Fayetteville, North Carolina area and is a proof of concept, as the two companies continue to advance their on-demand drone delivery offerings.
Flytrex’s technologies enable operators to autonomously fly drones along routes that are preprogrammed to avoid obstacles as well as inhibit noise pollution and privacy concerns. Once the drone releases the bag, the customer is able to pick it up and bring it inside.
Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) Prime Delivery Drone- On August 31st was granted a “Part 135 air carrier certificate”, allowing it to begin commercial drone deliveries. Amazon also recently revealed, “Our latest Prime Air delivery drone design. Our newest design includes advances in efficiency, stability and, most importantly, in safety. We also shared more information about Amazon’s sense and avoid technology and our efforts to build an independently safe and autonomous drone that will make the safe decision, even when faced with the unexpected.”

Eventually this helicopter will replace another one in our fleet so we’re essentially borrowing it from another program until we can raise funds to purchase a permanent solution. (Learn more about this project here)
This rebuild is a mandatory maintenance event that has to be done every 12 years or 2,200 hours of flight time. This helicopter is getting almost every moving part replaced, new interior, new paint, new radios and and an overhauled engine.
It has been a great way for Brian to get intimately acquainted with Robinson helicopters as a mechanic instead of as the pilot. We are hoping to have the rebuild finished soon so that we can ship the helicopter to the Philippines this coming September. | aerospace |

The first application of this new technology will be the production of fan blades and cases for CFM International’s LEAP aircraft engine, which will power the next generation of single-aisle commercial jets, including the Airbus A320neo and the Boeing 737 MAX. The 3D woven composite parts made by Safran and Albany are very strong and light, which will help reduce the LEAP’s fuel consumption by 15% compared with current CFM engines, the companies say.
The joint production plant has recruited more than 90 employees, and by 2018, it will have 400 employees on a 10 hectare (25 acre) site, including 27,000 m2 (291,600 ft2) of floorspace.
"This plant, the concrete symbol of the partnership between Safran and Albany, is the first of its type in the aerospace industry,” said Joseph G. Morone, president and CEO of Albany International Corp. “The manufacturing technology that is being applied here on an industrial scale, and the products designed with this technology, are truly innovative. And this specific capability is the exclusive property of Safran and Albany. So today is more than just the inauguration of a modern new plant. It marks the deployment of a unique technology that will have a considerable impact on the market for many years to come."
The two partners also inaugurated a twin plant in Rochester, New Hampshire in the United States, which will produce the same 3D woven composite parts for the LEAP engine. Safran and Albany have invested a total of US$200 million in these plants. | aerospace |

(NYSE:NET) is a good investment right now by following the lead of some of the best investors in the world and piggybacking their ideas. Last year, SpaceX raised $1.33 billion across three funding rounds. , By April 2019, SpaceX was transitioning their satellite efforts from research and development to manufacturing, with the planned first launch of a large group of satellites to orbit, and the clear need to achieve an average launch rate of "44 high-performance, low-cost spacecraft built and launched every month for the next 60 months" to get the 2,200 satellites launched to support their FCC spectrum allocation license assignment. "I'm not saying we're not going to do it," she told reporters after her talk at the Satellite 2020 conference, when asked about a SpaceX IPO of Starlink.
First time the satellites were released in an elliptical orbit (212 × 386 km). Based on recent International Telecommunication Union filings, the company eventually plans to deploy over 40,000 satellites to offer space-based internet service. SpaceX plans to launch another 7,500 V-band satellites into orbits around 345 km (214 mi), In June 2020, SpaceX applied in the United States for use of the E-band in the Gen2 constellation. Its next launch is set for Sunday and will add 60 satellites to the 302 Starlink satellites already launched. In mid-2018, SpaceX reorganized the satellite development division in Redmond, and terminated several members of senior management. To date, only one Starlink satellite (Starlink 1130 / DarkSat) has experimental coating to reduce its albedo. Yet IBD/TIPP's presidential poll margin may not cinch an Electoral College win. SpaceX updated the website for its Starlink satellite internet project on Friday.
CEO Elon Musk said that there is significant unmet demand for low-cost global. The total cost of the decade-long project to design, build, and deploy the constellation was estimated by SpaceX in May 2018 to be about US$10 billion. Meanwhile, Starlink satellites are going into orbit at a steady clip, and limited operational capability is expected later this year. Find the latest Cloudflare, Inc.

The satellites were launched by a Falcon 9 rocket, and they were piggy-pack payloads launching with the Paz satellite. The company operated in 2,800 m2 (30,000 sq ft) of leased space by late 2016, and by January 2017 had taken on a 2,800 m2 (30,000 sq ft) second facility, both in Redmond. SpaceX was initially targeting a private beta service in the Northern United States and Canada by August 2020 with a public beta following in November 2020, service beginning at high latitudes between 44° and 52° North.
SpaceX would need to obtain a separate approval from the International Telecommunication Union. The generation 2 Starlink constellation is expected to include up to 30,000 satellites and provide complete global coverage. 3:10 AM ET , With plans by several providers to build commercial space-Internet mega-constellations of thousands of satellites increasingly likely to become a reality, the US military began to perform test studies in 2018 to evaluate how the networks might be used. † denotes failed missions, destroyed vehicles, and abandoned sites. As of September 2020, SpaceX is launching up to 60 satellites at a time, aiming to deploy 1,440 of the 260 kg (570 lb) spacecraft to provide near-global service by late 2021 or 2022. We'll get a better sense of value of this when satellites have raised orbits and arrays are tracking to sun", "If we need to tweak sat orientation to minimize solar reflection during critical astronomical experiments, that's easily done", "Live coverage: SpaceX launches more Starlinks from Kennedy Space Center", "SpaceX's Starlink Could Cause Cascades of Space Junk". , In September 2020, SpaceX applied for permission to put terminals on 10 of its ships. Get IBD’s latest analysis in this free webinar! 100% of "all components of this design will quickly burn in Earth's atmosphere at the end of each satellite's lifecycle". , The planned large number of satellites has met with criticism from the astronomical community because of concerns for light pollution. Full build-out of the approximately 1,200 km (750 mi) constellation of around 4,440 satellites was not then expected to be completed until 2024. Because the Starlink satellites can autonomously change their orbits, observations cannot be scheduled to avoid them. , Some controversy arose in 2015–2017 with regulatory authorities on licensing of the communications spectrum for these large constellations of satellites. After the election, what’s next for the market? As of 24 October 2020[update], SpaceX has launched 895 Starlink satellites. They plan to launch up to 60 more per Falcon 9 flight, with launches as often as every two weeks in 2020. , In February 2019, a sister company of SpaceX, SpaceX Services Inc., filed a request with the FCC to receive a license for the operation of up to a million fixed satellite Earth stations that would communicate with its non-geostationary orbit (NGSO) satellite Starlink system. , In March 2017, SpaceX filed plans with the FCC to field a second orbital shell of more than 7,500 "V-band satellites in non-geosynchronous orbits to provide communications services" in an electromagnetic spectrum that has not previously been heavily employed for commercial communications services. SpaceX is producing approximately 120 satellites a month. That part of the constellation, for launch through the end of 2020, remains unchanged. Does Starlink Pose a Space Debris Threat? The initial 12,000 satellites are planned to orbit in three orbital shells: On 17 April 2020, SpaceX modified the architecture of the Starlink network. The traditional and historical regulatory rule for the licensing spectrum has been that satellite operators could "launch a single spacecraft to meet their in-service deadline [from the regulator], a policy is seen as allowing an operator to block the use of valuable radio spectrum for years without deploying its fleet". Breaking News • Oct 12, 2020. , In 2019, tests by the United States Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) demonstrated a 610 Mbps data link through Starlink to a Beechcraft C-12 Huron aircraft in flight. , Limited reports from very early domestic beta users of the partial satellite constellation in August 2020 suggested users experienced download speeds from 11 Mbps to 60 Mbps, and upload speeds from 5 Mbps to 18 Mbps.

While a SpaceX IPO of Starlink might not happen anytime soon, if ever, the company is raising more money in private markets. The reduction in g-band magnitude is 0.8 magnitude (55%). , In November 2016, SpaceX filed an application with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for a "non-geostationary orbit (NGSO) satellite system in the Fixed-Satellite Service using the Ku and Ka frequency bands". In October 2020, Canada granted a licence to work there. In response, SpaceX has lowered the Starlink satellite orbits to 550 km (340 mi) or below, and launched prototype satellites with anti-reflective coating and an experimental sunshade. , In March 2020, SpaceX reported producing six satellites per day. © 2000-2020 Investor's Business Daily, Inc.

An initial study of the maturity of the technology of optical switches with no moving parts for potential space applications was performed under funding from the European Space Agency.
First, several space-related applications were identified and a set of technical requirements for each application was elaborated by contacting experts in the different applications via a technology survey. A total of eleven sets of requirements were defined.
Then, the potential of different switch technologies for accomplishing these requirements was analysed. The operating principles, advantages and inconveniences of seven different technologies were analysed: Bulk Electro-optic (B-EO), Waveguide Electro-optic (WG-EO), Magneto-optic (MO), Acousto-optic (AO), Liquid Crystal (LC) and Thermo-optic (TO).
The analysis of the specifications in comparison with the application requirements concluded that B-EO and MO are the most promising approaches, as the WG-EO, LC, and AO devices have higher insertion losses than those meeting the requirements of the applications.
After the technology selection, a trade-off was made to select eight different commercial models of optical switches from four different manufacturers and using three technologies (MO, B-EO and WG-EO).
A test plan was developed, and the switches were procured. The test plan included the usual test procedure for space applications, such as Thermal Vacuum Cycles, Mechanical Tests (vibration and shocks) and Radiation Test (gamma radiation).
Only a single switch was damaged during the tests. This was due to a bonding problem, which could be solved to improve the switch for use in space applications. No other switches (total number = 46) were degraded during the tests.
In conclusion, the studied technologies are potential candidates for use as optical switches with no moving parts in space applications. | aerospace |

The two vehicles used in the flight were Ship 28 and Booster 10, with both making more progress than the previous two vehicles.
Liftoff occurred at 13:25 pm Univerversal Coordinated Time with all thirty-three Raptors engines firing. The ascent of the flight went as planned with Ship 28 successfully hot-staging from Booster 10 for the second time ever for SpaceX.
Booster 10 became the first Super Heavy to successfully relight its ten engines and performed the full 'boost back' burn as planned. The booster successfully made it through descent, not needing to relight its engines again for re-entry, but began to spin shortly before the planned landing burn. Booster 10 did attempt to start up for landing but only managed to light three engines before hitting the ocean at 1111 kilometers per hour, or 691 miles per hour.
While Booster 10 was flying back towards the launch site, Ship 28 was heading towards space. The ship made it successfully to second-stage engine cutoff and proceeded to coast for a little over forty minutes. During the coast, the vehicle successfully tested the opening of its payload bay door, although it did fail to close. A planned in-space startup of a Raptor engine was planned but did not occur, the reason why is not known outside of SpaceX. Ship 28 is also believed to have attempted to transfer fuel from its header tanks into the main tanks, with mission control callouts for the start and end of the test.
Ship 28 unfortunately met a fiery end above the Indian Ocean and was lost on re-entry. During the webcast SpaceX claimed the re-entry was controlled however the vehicle was spinning upon the start of atmospheric re-entry, Ship 28 had been tumbling since second-stage engine cutoff.
The launch mount and ground support equipment at the launch site are believed to have minimal or no damage. SpaceX teams will perform an investigation and cleanup of the launch site when the entire site is deemed safe.
With the loss of both vehicles, SpaceX will need to complete a mishap investigation with the Federal Aviation Administration before being able to launch the fourth test flight. Due to the progress made on this flight, it is believed the mishap investigation may take less time.
How does it compare to flight two?
Back on the 18th of November 2023, Starship-Super Heavy made its second flight, SpaceX considered the flight a success despite ending with the loss of both vehicles, similar to this flight.
Last flight the Super Heavy booster, Booster 9, lit all thirty-three of its engines with all of them lasting up until hot staging. Booster 9 was lost during its 'boost back' burn due to a filter blockage where liquid oxygen is supplied to the engines, which led to a loss of inlet pressure in engine oxidizer turbopumps that eventually resulted in one engine failing in a way that resulted in the rapid unscheduled disassembly of Booster 9.
Ship 25, the Starship vehicle of flight two, was lost after continuing to power the second-stage flight for six minutes after hot-staging. Ship 25 was believed to have been lost due to a leak in the aft section of the vehicle that started when the vehicle's liquid oxygen dump had started. This is believed to have led to fires and loss of communications which caused the onboard computers to command a shutdown of the engines, and followed shortly after by the flight termination system commanding destruction of the vehicle.
SpaceX believes that flight three allowed them to gather more data on how the Starship-Super Heavy vehicle flies, as well as gathering the first pieces of data for re-entry and booster landing.
What changes were on Ship 28 & Booster 10?
Ship 28 is believed to have had its vent and control thrusters moved on the vehicle, with the nose vents having diverters installed. The liquid oxygen tank vent 'cowbell' diverters were also removed. Starship is believed to have tested three new liquid oxygen vents located in the engine section of the vehicle.
More thermal protection tiles were spotted on Ship 28, notably under the aero covers of the forward flaps. The tiles were also spotted as being more uniform than the past two ships. The four flaps also have small static wicks added to prevent a buildup of a dangerous static charge.
It's also believed that more internal stringers, used to reinforce the tank walls, were added to Ship 28, along with larger flap mounts for the aft flaps. The most visible change to Ship 28 was four Starlink terminals to enable a more stable connection to the vehicle.
One of the more important changes to the Ship was Electric Thrust Vector Control for the three sea-level Raptor engines. Ship 28 was the first to fly the Electric Thrust Vector Control, which allowed the hydraulic power unit to be removed from the vehicle.
Booster 10 had few changes compared to Booster 9, which flew on flight two. The booster is known to feature a new common dome design allowing for a small mass savings. Booster 10 also had redesigned Starlink terminals which are also believed to enable a more stable connection to the booster.
What is Starship-Super Heavy?
Starship-Super Heavy is SpaceX's in-development fully reusable super heavy-lift launch vehicle and the largest rocket currently flying. SpaceX is currently aiming to have the launch vehicle deliver one-hundred and fifty tons to low Earth orbit while reused or two-hundred and fifty tons when expended, although there are rumors from SpaceX of an expendable payload capacity of three-hundred tons.
On the launch pad, Starship-Super Heavy is one-hundred and twenty-one meters tall and weighs 5,000,000 kilograms fully fuelled. The diameter of both vehicles is nine meters, excluding aerodynamic control surfaces.
What is Starship?
Starship is the second-stage of the Starship-Super Heavy launch vehicle and is planned to be capable of multiple missions into orbit, after a short refurbishment. The vehicle is fifty meters tall and nine meters in diameter, excluding its four aerodynamic control surfaces. Fully fuelled Starship is believed to weigh 1,300,000 kilograms with an approximate weight of 100,000 kilograms unfuelled.
The Starship second-stage is powered by three sea-level Raptor engines along with three vacuum-optimized Raptor engines. These sea-level engines are believed to generate 230 tons of thrust each with the vacuum-optimized engines generating 258 tons of thrust each for a total combined 1,500 tons of thrust for Starship. The vacuum-optimized Raptors are unable to gimbal requiring the sea-level Raptors for control of the second-stage on ascent and landing.
The total burn time for the Starship second-stage remains unknown outside of SpaceX but is known to burn liquid methane and liquid oxygen in its engines.
In order to survive re-entry for reuse, Starship has several thousand thermal protection tiles on one side of the vehicle and on all four of its aerodynamic control surfaces. The four control surfaces help guide the vehicle during re-entry and prior to landing inside the atmosphere at a pre-determined location. Starship also has a series of small thrusters to control the vehicle in space before re-entry.
SpaceX is believed to be working on a few variants of Starship for use as a Moon lander, tanker, space station, Mars lander, and as a crewed spacecraft.
What is Super Heavy?
Super Heavy, also called 'the Super Heavy booster', is the first-stage of SpaceX's Starship-Super Heavy launch vehicle. The giant Super Heavy first-stage is planned to be capable of multiple flights per day with minimal refurbishments and inspections. The vehicle is seventy-one meters tall and nine meters in diameter, excluding its four grid fins and chines. Fully fuelled Super Heavy is believed to weigh 3,600,000 kilograms with an approximate mass of 200,000 kilograms unfuelled.
The Super Heavy first-stage is powered by thirty-three sea-level Raptor engines generating a combined thrust of 7,590 tons, with each engine generating 230 tons of thrust. The outer twenty Raptor engines are unable to gimbal with the inner thirteen being able to for control of the first-stage.
The total burn time of Super Heavy remains unknown outside of SpaceX but is known to burn liquid methane and liquid oxygen in its engines.
To enable the reuse of Super Heavy, the vehicle has four large grid fins placed in the interstage to assist in guiding and controlling during descent. Super Heavy also has four chines running along the lower third of it to generate lift and assist in stabilization.
Shortly after completing the ascent, Super Heavy relights ten engines, as three were running during staging, and performs a 'boost back' burn in order to return to the launch site. After the 'boost back' burn is completed the engines shut down with Super Heavy being guided by a series of small thrusters and its grid fins. Once Super Heavy is at the correct altitude above is landing location three engines start backup for the landing burn. SpaceX currently plans to have Super Heavy land in the ocean with launch site landing attempts happening with later flights.
Super Heavy also features a hot-staging ring atop of it to allow for a faster and simpler staging process, according to SpaceX. The hot-staging ring has dozens of gaps on the sides to allow for the Raptor engine exhaust of Starship to escape.

“The aircraft was on a night cross country at about 8000 feet. The first engineer reports feathering the port outer as the cylinder head temp was dropping right off and the pilot reported a loss of power, and a short while later, doing likewise with the starboard outer as it was suffering from the same trouble. The pilot tried to maintain height, but decided to bale out his crew at about 4500 feet. Apparently, the pilot and navigator did not get out and were killed. The accident is the subject of an investigation.”
All of the crew, with the possible exception of Flight Sergeant Bowe had baled out. Flight Sergeant Douglas was killed because, unfortunately, he jumped from low level over the summit of Firth Fell and hit the 1600ft summit before he could open his parachute.
While Donald Bowe is recorded as a Pilot Officer, records written at the time of the crash show he was at the rank of Flight Sergeant, but had been appointed to the rank of Pilot Officer with effect from the 10th August 1944. | aerospace |

FedEx Express was the first US-based global freight carrier to operate the 777-200F and took delivery of the first of this aircraft type, ship N850DN, on September 22, 2009. This model represents the FedEx Express Boeing 777-200 Freighter ship N850FD as it appeared when it was delivered.
The Boeing 777-200 Freighter is based on the 777-200LR (Longer Range) passenger airplane. It is designed to provide more capacity than any other twin-engine freighter and offers the lowest trip cost of any large freighter.
The Boeing 777 Freighter allows FedEx Express to do more for its customers and the environment. With a longer range than the current MD-11 freighters that it will be replacing for trans-pacific lanes, it can eliminate a fuel stop and increase delivery time providing customers in eastern China with a two hour improvement in cut-off times. In addition, the 777 Freighter uses 18 percent less fuel than the MD-11 on comparable routes, which means that it produces less carbon dioxide emissions. It also provides quieter takeoffs and landings that meet airport noise restrictions.

It said the plane attempted to land in heavy tail-winds, adding that the two previous flights had held off landing due to wind.
Footage showed the plane’s fuselage, as well as a section of it near the tail, had broken off. Passengers were being led out as the plane lay on a patch of grass next to the runway. Dozens of emergency response personnel were taking passengers out of the plane and carrying them away on stretchers.
Earlier footage showed part of the exterior of the plane had caught on fire, which state media said was put out by several firefighters at the scene.

This is an archived article that was published on sltrib.com in 2013, and information in the article may be outdated. It is provided only for personal research purposes and may not be reprinted.
Four adults and an infant walked away from a small plane crash near Wellsville on Saturday after engine problems forced the pilot to land in a snow-covered field.
The plane took off from the Logan Cache Airport about 1 p.m. and began having engine trouble about 30 minutes later, the Cache County Sheriff's Office said in a news release.
Pilot Lynn Goodsell told police he was headed over the Wellsville mountains trying to gain sufficient altitude to finish the flight when problems with the fuel system began. Goodsell attempted to use the plane's carburetor heaters, but the engine shut down and he was unable to restart it, police said.
Goodsell then looked for a place to land, settling on an open field covered in about two feet of snow. As the plane hit the ground, it's front wheel dug into the ground, causing it to flip onto its top.
No one was injured.
Area neighbors rushed to the crash site on snowmobiles and found Goodsell and his passengers Katherine Mohlma, Kara Fielding, Jonathan Fielding and the Fielding's infant son had exited the plane, police said.
The cause of the crash remains under investigation. | aerospace |

First Qsuite flights in June
The new-gen business class suites will predictably fly the flag on the Airbus A350-1000, for which Qatar is the global launch customer.
Qatar Airways will also "aggressively retrofit" the new suites across its Airbus A350 and Boeing 777 fleets.
The first Qatar Airways jet to fly the Qsuites will be a factory-fresh Boeing 777-300ER on the Doha-London route from June.
Different Qsuites for the superjumbo, Dreamliner?
The Airbus A380 and Boeing 787 will see a similar-but-different skew of the seat – with the same emphasis on privacy – because the initial version of Qsuite won't fit onto the narrower Boeing 787 and isn't compatible with the curved walls of the A380's upper deck, where Qatar has its superjumbo business class.
Speaking with Australian Business Traveller at ITB Berlin, His Excellency Akbar Al Baker, Group Chief Executive of Qatar Airways, confirmed these Qsuites would be more so a "tweak" when compared with the A350 and Boeing 777 product , rather than another revolution entirely.
"You will (still) have 100% privacy, so when you are within your space you will be able to be totally independent from other passengers," Al Baker explains.
Qatar Airways will retain first class only on its Airbus A380 superjumbos, with all other aircraft topping out at business class.

EXCLUSIVE | Qatar Airways will load the front of its new Airbus A350-1000 with 46 of its Qsuite business class suites when the airline takes delivery of the stretched jet by the end of this year, but trim the premium cabin to just two dozen suites in its 'high-density' Boeing 777-300ER.
The innovative Qsuite design includes 53 inch (1.35m) tall privacy doors for all suites, with selected pairs of middle suites able to be jouned as a double bed...
A configuration plan sighted by Australian Business Traveller reveals the following layouts for Qatar Airways' Airbus A350 and Boeing 777-300 fleets.
The first Boeing 777-300ER with the new Qsuites will take wing on June 24 as the QR7/QR8 service flying between Doh and London Heathrow, with routes to Paris and New York said to be next on the list.
This 'classic' Boeing 777-300ER layout – and that of the longer range Boeing 777-200LR – will be 42 Qsuites in business class, arranged as follows:
Qatar Airways will begin retrofitting its existing A350-900 jets over the coming months with 36 Qsuites – the same number as its current business class configuration – and 247 economy seats.
The Airbus A350-900 aircraft will have 16 forward-facing and 20 rear-facing business class suites, with capacity for five double beds or four quad suites.
The larger Airbus A350-1000 will sport 46 Qsuites and 281 economy seats. The business class suites will be divided into 22 forward-facing and 26 rear-facing business class suites, with the middle suites able to convert to six double beds and six quad suites.
However, Qatar's 'high-density' Boeing 777-300ER aircraft – used on routes with less demand for premium travel – will pare the Qsuites back to 24 (with 12 forward-facing and 12 rear-facing, three double beds or three quads) with 388 economy seats.

Qatar Airways is now adding its superb Qsuite business class suites to the airline's long-range Boeing 777-200LR jets, which will bring the best-in-class seats closer to the 17+ hour Auckland-Doha route.
The first of Qatar's nine Boeing 777-200LRs to be fitted with the Qsuites will make its debut on flights to Houston on June 2, 2018.
This will see 42 of the cosy cribs replace the current (also 42 in number) 2-2-2 sleepers shown below.
Qatar's Boeing 777-200LR fleet is also tasked with ultra-long flights to Auckland, Los Angeles, Buenos Aires and Sao Paulo.
Qatar is slated to bring the Qsuites onto its Doha-Sydney-Canberra service around the middle of this year, which will make the route and the airline especially tempting to travellers who usually fly with Gulf competitors Emirates and Etihad as well as with fellow Oneworld partner Qantas.
The Qsuites are also flying on some Boeing 777-300ERs and Airbus A350-900s, and all Airbus A350-1000 jets, from Doha to the likes of London, Paris, Frankfurt, New York and Chicago. | aerospace |

From Russian scientist Konstantin Tsiolkovsky’s ground-breaking theoretical work in 1903 to NASA’s Space Shuttle program nearly 100 years later, the drive to explore continues to push the limits of science and ingenuity.
During the infancy of mankind’s quest to reach space, Russia was the standard-bearer, being the first country to successfully launch a satellite into orbit. The Russians later sent the world into a frenzy by sending the first human into space.
Yuri Gagarin entered the history books on April 12, 1961 when his Vostok I capsule reached space, orbited the Earth and returned safely. Nearly one month later U.S. astronaut Alan Shepard became the second person and the first American to reach space. It would be 40 years before another country would send a human into space. China achieved the feat in 2003 under its Shenzhou program.
The success of the early manned space flights set the stage for NASA’s Apollo missions which culminated with the first humans successfully landing on extraterrestrial terrain. On July 20, 1969 Neil Armstrong became the first person to set foot on a celestial body other than Earth when he walked on the Moon. Eleven men would follow in Armstrong’s footsteps over six missions.
After a brief down period following the Apollo missions, NASA re-entered the realm of human space flight with the Shuttle Program. This was the first time a spacecraft would be reusable. Instead of relying on capsules that would merely plummet back to Earth after their flight, the space shuttle could be piloted back, landed and re-launched.
Experts agree that having conquered orbit and the Moon, the next target destination for a human space flight is the planet Mars. Budgetary concerns, however, have delayed any plans for an undetermined period of time. | aerospace |

The proposed hierarchical control system provides significant robustness and reliability improvements under severe aerodynamic disturbance conditions which are well-recognized as posing a challenging problem for twin-rotor aircraft control. Furthermore, the proposed controllers can operate on their own or can gracefully co-exist with a baseline controller in a control augmentation fashion to minimize flight software change impact. The stability and performance of the proposed controllers are validated through simulation based studies.

Personnel at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California are preparing for the return of the unmanned X-37B space plane, which has been aloft on its classified debut spaceflight since April, officials with the Air Force Space Command said in a statement released today (Nov. 30).
“While the exact landing date and time will depend on technical and weather considerations, it is expected to occur between Friday, December 3, and Monday, December 6,” Air Force officials said in the statement. [Video of the X-37B in space]
The X-37B, also known as the Orbital Test Vehicle 1, launched atop an Atlas 5 rocket on April 22. Since then, it has been circling the Earth performing a mission that has been shrouded in secrecy. What the reusable spacecraft has actually been doing is classified, as is its mission’s cost, Air Force officials have said.

More than 70 percent of the Marine Corps’ aviation fleet will not meet combat readiness standards by 2021 if sequestration — the automatic, across-the-board budget cuts — remains in place, the service’s aviation chief warned lawmakers today.
Service leaders estimate that only 27 to 30 percent of the Corps’ aviation fleet will be at “ready to go to war” status seven years from now, according to Lt. Gen. Robert Schmidle, deputy commandant for aviation.
The federal cost-cutting measure reduces flight hours by roughly 10 percent every year. Today, aviation combat readiness stands at about 65 percent, Schmidle told a House Armed Services subcommittee. By 2017, that figure will be below 50 percent, he predicted.
“When we take the flight hours out, we don’t have the hours to fly the airplanes to train the pilots and the readiness continues to go down,” the three-star said.
Schmidle said the Marine Corps’ estimates were based on “strict arithmetic.”
“We took the readiness of the fleet today and we said, if we are sequestered that means we will lose 10 percent a year of our flight time. So if you lose 10 percent of your flight hours across the board every year, what happens in five, six, seven, eight years?” he told Marine Corps Times after the hearing. “You’ve got that many fewer flight hours to fly in order to be able to train the pilots and train the air crews, etc.”
However, “that assumes that the fleet is the same size it is today,” Schmidle said. “It’s assuming that we have to take those hours out of everybody, but if we get relief, and we get extra money for flight hours then, of course, we can begin alleviate that.”
If the service does manage to get some kind of relief from the sequester, “then you would not see those numbers go down,” Schmidle said. | aerospace |

Weighing 25kg and providing enough lift to carry the machine gun and 200 rounds of ammunition, Asisguard’s Songar drone will be delivered to the country’s government before year’s end.
Drones have long been used to drop explosives on targets, but Songar marks a new era of morally-ambiguous airborne weapons that had been technically impractical until now.
Researchers have figured out how to manage the physical forces as drones interact with physical objects – as in, for example, a roof-repairing drone equipped with a nail gun – but the recoil from a machine gun would cause most drones to spin uncontrollably.
Songar uses cameras and a laser rangefinder to compensate for distance, angle and wind speed while a gimbal system – conceptually similar to those used to keep drone and action cameras rock-steady – cancels the effect of the kickback.
The new aerial battlefield
Tactical use of deadly drones has been a concern for years – this year’s Hollywood blockbuster ‘Angel Has Fallen’, for one, featured a spectacular assassination attempt by a swarm of facial recognition-guided explosive drones – but actually equipping a drone to shoot targets from hundreds of metres away is “a bit of a game-changer”, says Oleg Vornik, CEO of Australian anti-drone maker DroneShield.
DroneShield has built a solid export market for its DroneGun devices, which let authorities monitor and jam drones over populated or sensitive areas such as France’s Bastille Day celebrations in July or this month’s Southeast Asia Games, where seven drones were detected and disabled.
The prospect of drones that can shoot back, however, “is quite scary really”, Vornik told Information Age.
While he is confident DroneShield’s core technology would work as well against Songar as against other drones – all of which use similar RF-based technologies to transmit commands to the drone and live video back to operators – evolving technology could complicate the situation as killer drones leverage AI and automation to recognise and attack targets without human control.
“Imagine sending 100 of those drones with machine guns and you have a little army of Terminators that can fight in any kind of situation,” he said – presaging a situation that is already in motion as reports suggest Turkey is also set to adopt swarming STM Kargu drones in Syria by next year.
Tightening regulations for safety
Managing drone activities has been an ongoing issue for regulators, with a government enquiry into drone noise recently attracting 92 submissions and CASA this year working to tighten drone rules that balance safety with convenience.
Manufacturers are working in step with regulators to increase drones’ self-awareness, with market leader DJI, for example, offering Aeroscope technology that can identify drones and locate their operators.
From 1 January, all DJI drones over 250g will be equipped with AirSense, a technology based on widely-used ADS-B technology that will broadcast the drone’s identification and location as well as allowing it to detect nearby helicopters and airplanes.
“Every day we are blown away with new applications of this very new, very exciting technology,” said DJI corporate communication director Adam Lisberg, who noted that it is “enormously frustrating” having to counter the stream of negative publicity fuelled by incidents such as last year’s drone shutdown of Gatwick Airport.
“The technology already exists to deal with the problems that people have with drones,” he said, offering “a round of applause” to CASA for its proactivity around drone regulations and cautioning naysayers not to let their imagination fly away from them.
“We can think of all sorts of crazy scenarios,” he said.
“In practice there is a lot of good, smart, creative work being done in labs around the world about how to have drones do smart things autonomously – but regulatory requirements will require humans at the controls.”
Can flying death machines be ethical?
Yet military drones have long anticipated technology that would remove humans from the loop, with the first global Meeting of Experts on Lethal Autonomous Weapons (LAWs) held in Geneva in late 2014.
As militarised drones push armed conflict into the skies, governments will need to fast-track decisions around the rules of engagement for self-targeting technology that can now easily cross national borders and bypass ground-based defences.
A growing body of AI researchers have pushed back against military applications for their technology – with employee pressure driving Google to pull out of the US Department of Defence’s Project Maven surveillance-drone project (recently transferred to military contractor Palantir).
Some have argued that LAWs could and should only be used to make conflicts more ethical, while a UNSW Canberra academic recently commenced a $9m study exploring necessary ethical constraints on the systems.
Yet for all the ethical discussions, Vornik warned that longstanding moral objections to such technology would evaporate as armies faced the need to fight back against adversaries using the killer drones.
“Although they’re designed for a good purpose – taking soldiers off the field and replacing them with drones – these things inevitably end up in the wrong hands,” he explained.
“If your enemy is going to have better technology, there is a strong argument about deploying the technology regardless of what you think about the ethics of it.” | aerospace |

The airline’s first pilot base will remain in Oslo, and training has already begun in preparation for its launch.
Flight attendant training will begin soon, and Norse has promised to hire at least 700, U.S.-based flight attendants, after reaching an agreement with the Association of Flight Attendants (AFA-CWA).
The United States Department of Transportation gave Norse a foreign operators permit this month, marking a “major milestone” for the startup airline.
The decision by the Biden administration to award Norse a permit to fly long-haul flights to and from the United States was praised by Sara Nelson, president of the influential flight attendants union.
Unlike Norwegian Airlines, which withdrew from the transatlantic market during the pandemic, Norse will hire employees immediately into union roles.
Norwegian opted to hire through a low-cost third-party agency and first turned down unionization, angering Nelson and other aviation union officials.
Surprisingly, Norse Atlantic is the brainchild of Bjrn Tore Larsen, the head of the Norwegian employment agency. Bjrn Kjos, the co-founder of Norwegian, is also a member of the Norse Atlantic board of directors.
That isn’t the only resemblance to Norwegian. The new airline would operate similar itineraries from secondary U.S. airports such as New York Stewart, Ontario (California), and Fort Lauderdale, utilizing Boeing 787 Dreamliners that were previously owned by Norwegian.
Larsen, on the other hand, argues that nothing has been completed yet.
“Future customers and supporters on both sides of the Atlantic are reaching out to us every day asking about when they can start buying tickets, when we will be airborne and not least what routes we will be offering,” Larsen said on Friday.
“We are thrilled about the interest in the market and can confirm that our goal is to launch ticket sales by the end of March and our first flight to take off in the second quarter.”
“We are working on finalizing our route network and look forward to announcing our destinations when we open for sale,” he added.
Norse Atlantic claims it had 3,000 applications for only 50 pilot vacancies in Oslo, and the airline is currently hiring 400 people. Until now, the airline has operated with a skeleton crew.
Norse also hopes to open crew bases in the United Kingdom and maybe France, in addition to the flight attendant base in Florida. However, those plans have not yet been completed. | aerospace |

Sorry it took so long to certify but it was worth it. Now in the air I was able to reflect back on the project. We accomplished a lot. There was a lot of learning all around. We had 20 kids participate for a total of 2501 hrs and 16 adults mentoring and helping at 3018 hrs. I know a number of kids went on to technical and aerospace related educations. In particular Kylie sent me an e-mail saying she just finished her first year at RIT as an aerospace engineering major. Our chapter and the City garnered lots of praise for the program as well.
The next step is to get the flying club established and actively flying at MMK. In the meantime, I will fly off the remaining few hours, get Dave Rich checked out, then we can start giving rides!
Regarding the meeting, the vast majority of respondents to my query favored a meeting held with appropriate distancing in one of the new T Hangars. If we can find a projector, we will have a short presentation with the talk. We always have poor turn out on Father’s Day, hence the change to the fourth Sunday, the 28th, for better attendance. Let’s hope for some nice weather.

The Arkansas Higher Education Coordinating Board approved the new degree plan at its quarterly meeting on April 27 in Bentonville.
Students who pursue the Associate of Science in Aviation have two options: a Professional Pilot option and a Management option.
The Professional Pilot option will provide students with academic and practical instruction as they pursue the FAA-certified private pilot and commercial pilot ratings, and instrument and certified flight instructor ratings. This program is designed to lay the foundation for a student pursuing advanced training in multi-engine aircraft.
The Management option will help students develop the skills and knowledge needed for careers in airport management, aircraft maintenance and flight management.
"The aviation industry in central Arkansas is growing, and this new degree is a direct response to the need for more highly skilled workers," said Dr. Dan F. Bakke, college president. "As the aviation industry in central Arkansas continues to grow, we expect the need for pilots, flight engineers, and managers and supervisors of aviation facilities to increase accordingly."
The AS in Aviation consists of 67 credit hours, including 44 credit hours of general education and 23 credit hours of aviation coursework. Students will complete courses offered at Pulaski Tech or contracted through Central Flying Service in Little Rock.
Aviation-related coursework includes Fundamentals of Aeronautics, Aviation Weather, Aviation Safety, Instrument Prep and Procedures and Instrument Certification.
Coursework that will be contracted to Central Flying Service includes Introduction to Aeronautics Lab, Private Pilot Lab, Commercial Pilot and Instrument Pilot Lab. New courses will be developed using FAA-approved curriculum from Central Flying Service.
Pulaski Tech's Associate of Science in Aviation will provide students with the first two years of coursework toward a Bachelor of Science in Aviation at Henderson State University in Arkadelphia.

An Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) is the combination of an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), sometimes called a drone, and a UAV controller. A UAV is an aircraft without a human pilot onboard – instead, in some cases. the UAV can be controlled from an operator via a UAV controller and will have a range of autonomous flight capabilities. The communication system between the UAV and UAV controller is, within the scope of this specification and in some scenarios, provided by the 3GPP system. The UAS model considers also the scenario where the UAV controller communicates with the UAV via mechanisms outside the scope of 3GPP.
UAVs range in size and weight from small, light aircraft often used for recreational purposes to large, heavy aircraft which are often more suited to commercial applications. Regulatory requirements vary across this range and vary on a regional basis.
The communication requirements for UAS cover both the Command and Control (C2), and uplink and downlink data to/from the UAS components towards both the serving 3GPP network and network servers. The applicable C2 communication modes is depicted in clause 4.2.
Unmanned Aerial System Traffic Management (UTM) is used to provide a number of services to support UAS and their operations including but not limited to UAS identification and tracking, authorisation, enforcement, regulation of UAS operations, and also to store the data required for UAS(s) to operate. It also allows authorised users (e.g., air traffic control, public safety agencies) to query the identity and metadata of a UAV and its UAV controller.
4.2 C2 Communication
When using 3GPP network as the transport network for supporting UAS services, the following C2 communication are considered to provision UAS services by guaranteeing QoS for the C2 communication:
Direct C2 communication: the UAV controller and UAV establish a direct C2 link to communicate with each other and both are registered to the 5G network using the radio resource configured and scheduled provided by the 5G network for direct C2 communication.
Network-Assisted C2 communication: the UAV controller and UAV register and establish respective unicast C2 communication links to the 5G network and communicate with each other via 5G network. Also, both the UAV controller and UAV may be registered to the 5G network via different NG-RAN nodes. The 5G network needs to support mechanism to handle the reliable routing of C2 communication.
UTM-Navigated C2 communication: the UAV has been provided a pre-scheduled flight plan, e.g. array of 4D polygons, for autonomous flying, however UTM still maintains a C2 communication link with the UAV in order to regularly monitor the flight status of the UAV, verify the flight status with up-to-date dynamic restrictions, provide route updates, and navigate the UAV whenever necessary.
In general, Direct C2 communication and Network-Assisted C2 communication are used by a human-operator using a UAV controller. UTM-Navigated C2 communication is used by the UTM to provide cleared flying routes and routes updates. In order to ensure the service availability and reliability of the C2 communication for UAS operation, especially when the UAV is flying beyond line of sight (BLOS) of the operator, redundant C2 communication links can be established for any C2 communication links from UAV controller or UTM to a UAV.
For reliability and service availability consideration, it is ipossible to activate more than one C2 communication with one as a backup link for C2 communication or switch among the applicable links for C2 communication.
– For example, Direct C2 communication can be used at first and then switch to the Network-Assisted C2 communication when the UAV is flying BLOS.
– For example, UTM-navigated C2 communication can be utilized whenever needed, e.g. for air traffic control, the UAV is approaching a No Drone Zone, and detected potential security threats, etc.
There are four control modes considered in the C2 communication for the UAV operation that are with different requirements, e.g. on message intervals, sizes, and end to end latencies, etc., including steer to waypoints, direct stick steering, automatic flight by UTM and approaching autonomous navigation infrastructure.
- Steer to waypoints: the control message contains flight declaration, e.g. waypoints, sent from the UAV controller or UTM to the UAV. The control mode is used in both of direct C2 communication and network-assisted C2 communication.
- Direct stick steering: the control message contains direction instructions sending from the UAV controller to the UAV while optionally video traffic is provided as feedback from the UAV to the UAV controller. The control mode is used in both of direct C2 communication and network-assisted C2 communication.
- Automatic flight by UTM: the control message contains a pre-scheduled flight plan, e.g. array of 4D polygons, sent from the UTM to the UAV, which thereafter flies autonomously with periodic position reporting. The control mode is used in UTM-Navigated C2 communication.
- Approaching autonomous navigation infrastructure: the control message contains direction instructions, e.g. waypoints, altitudes and speeds from the UTM to the UAV. When the UAV is landing/departuring, the UTM coordinates more closely with autonomous navigation infrastructure, e.g. vertiport or package distribution center. The control mode is used in UTM-Navigated C2 communication. | aerospace |

I was booked on Philippine Airlines, Philippines’ national flag carrier known for its hospitality and charm in the skies. So for this non-stop flight from London to Manila, I knew it would be one homey flight not just for me and for the rest of the Filipino passengers but also to several other nationals booked on the flight.
Check-in in Heathrow was very orderly. At first there was a slight queue building up at the counter, faster check-in eventually followed. Since I only had one check–in luggage and two bags to hand carry inside the aircraft, I managed to complete the process in ample time. So what does that ample time means to me? Well, simple! It means I had enough time to visit and browsed through the airport’s Duty – Free shops. And not only that, I even managed having dinner in one of the restaurants at the departure area. So before boarding, I had my gut filled with its share of that British royal taste. 🙂
Philippine Airlines flight PR 721 boarding time was on the dot. What a surprise! Well, after all Filipino time is on time. As we were to be welcomed onboard the waiting A340 by Filipino flight attendants, walking through the jet bridge felt like I was walking straight home. And to be greeted with that warm smiles and that three-word phrase “Magandang gabi po” upon arriving at the aircraft door, I had the best welcome I could ever have thousands of miles away from home.
Boarding was completed, doors were closed, the plane taxied on the runway and ready for takeoff. Due to air traffic congestion, the plane actually took off London Heathrow International Airport 40 minutes delayed from its scheduled 22:20H (UK local time) departure time.
In-flight Services and Entertainment
Not so fast forward 🙂 🙂 :), the plane took off and on reaching its assigned cruising altitude, midair in-flight services commenced with Philippine’s leading local newspapers became available first-hand at the flight. I chose Philippine Daily Inquirer and started flipping the pages. News is readily available from the internet these days so I haven’t read a single newspaper for years. With no internet during the flight, I took that moment to enjoy the rare chance to read a newspaper not by choice but because there was no option.
Then in-flight entertainment became available. The aircraft was not fitted with individual TV screens in front of each seat, however, iPad tablets packed with good selection of movies, TV shows, video games and audio entertainment were handed out. They were free to use, so it was still an entertainment option nonetheless.
Economy In-flight Meals and Beverages
I lost track of time just exploring the iPad and before I knew it, main meal was served. There were only two food choices in the economy class – pork barbeque with rice and beef kebab with potatoes. I opted for the pork barbeque with rice. In between meals, snacks and hot sandwiches are available for anyone who were still hungry.
I consumed not even a single drop of alcohol while working as crew on board the ship. So finally, after six months and at 42,000 feet above earth, from its selections of wine, whiskey, gin and beer, I had alcohol run through my veins.
Of course, for those who prefer non-alcoholic beverages over alcoholic ones, PR 721 also serves juice, tea, soft drinks and coffee.
Exactly two and a half hours before touchdown, another meal (and the last one in flight) was served. Though the flight attendant mentioned it was breakfast but for sure it was an early midair dinner as the plane was scheduled to arrive Manila at 19:30H (Philippine local time). I chose the meal with rice, scrambled eggs and corned beef. Through the meals and the warm smiles of the cabin crew, I could already feel the nearness of the Philippines. I was almost there!
Flight Time London to Manila
Flight time from London to Manila was 12 hours and 50 minutes. So, that meant I had the time for my body clock to adjust at least a bit. With all-Filipino flight attendants in the flight and all-Filipino crew in the flight deck and of course with all those familiar meals served, even at 42,000 feet altitude and still several hundred miles away to Manila, I felt like I was already back home.
By 19:30H Philippine local time, Philippine Airlines flight PR 721 touched down NAIA. I could not contain my joy. I’m home! | aerospace |
http://missilethreat.com/missiles/sejil-123/ | 2016-07-30T03:26:30 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-30/segments/1469257832939.48/warc/CC-MAIN-20160723071032-00120-ip-10-185-27-174.ec2.internal.warc.gz | 0.949473 | 1,130 | CC-MAIN-2016-30 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2016-30__0__83732960 | en | The Sejil missile is a two-stage, solid-propellant, intermediate-range ballistic missile domestically designed and built by Iran. It represents the culmination of Iranian weapons technology as it borrows heavily from the design and technology of the liquid-propelled Shahab missiles while integrating the solid-propellant technology of the Zelzal missiles.
Development of the Sejil missile likely began in the late 1990s, but the program can hardly be understood apart from other Iranian missile programs whose development began much earlier. Most importantly, Iran began development on the Zelzal missiles in 1994 or 1995. The production of the Zelzal missiles required Iran to develop the domestic ability to produce composite solid-propellant in fairly large quantities. The technology and equipment used in Zelzal fuel production has almost definitely been used for the Sejil missile project. It is believed that China aided Iran in the improvement of their solid-propellant production ability for the Zelzal missiles; it seems likely that China has also aided Iran in the production of fuel for the Sejil missile.
At the same time that Iran was developing composite solid-propellant fuel, they were working with the North Korean No Dong 1 missile design to produce the Shahab 3. The Shahab 3 design was used by Iranian engineers to produce a number of domestic missile technologies – a major advance from earlier Shahab designs, which relied almost entirely on Russian and North Korean technology. The Shahab 3 variants have provided a number of advantages over the original North Korean design and proved that Iranian engineers can domestically design and produce improved warheads and SLVs. The Sejil missile, internally quite different from the Shahab 3 missile (solid propellants require very different motors and internal design), probably borrows from a number of Shahab 3 technologies. At the very least, it is believed that the RV/nose cone design that first appeared in Shahab 3 variants has been used on the Sejil missile.
Though the missile has a similar size, weight, payload, and range to the Shahab 3 variants, the fact that it is fuelled by solid-propellants is a huge improvement over the Shahab design. Solid propellants allow for a near-immediate launch time, leaving the missile much less vulnerable during launch. Because solid-propellant missiles do not have to be fuelled immediately prior to launch, they are easily transported. On the other hand, solid propellant missiles have particular performance characteristics that make them more difficult to guide and control. How Iranian engineers have overcome these hurdles is unknown, but it seems likely that they have modified Shahab guidance systems and/or received considerable foreign assistance.
The Sejil missile has a length of 17.6 m, a diameter of 1.25 m, and an overall launch weight of 23,600 kg. It carries a payload of 500 to 1,000 kg. Presumably the missile will carry HE warheads until Iran gains nuclear warheads. The missile’s maximum range is about 2,000 km, though these figures are based upon a missile fuselage with the weight and performance characteristics of aeronautical-grade steel. Supposing that Iran had the technology to produce missiles built of maraging steel, titanium, or composite material, the missile would potentially be lighter and have an extended range upwards of 2,400 km.
The first test launch occurred in 2008 and the missile reportedly flew 800km. A second launch was conducted in May 2009 to test improved guidance and navigation systems. Four other flight tests have occurred since 2009, with the sixth test flying approximately 1,900 km into the Indian ocean. 1
The Sejil missile appears to be a unique Iranian design. Though some speculation has tied the missile to the Chinese DF-11 and DF-15, the size and specifications of the missile suggest that the Iranian missile is unique. Unlike earlier Iranian systems, the missile also does not appear to be a copy of a previously-released North Korean missile. Of course, it is highly likely that the missile project has made significant gains through foreign assistance. Because the design is new, Iran will probably have to subject it to a great deal of testing before putting the missile into regular operation. Assuming that the Sejil project moves at about the same speed as foreign missile development projects, Iran will probably not declare the missile operational until at least 2012. 2
The Sejil missile system may be operational, but regardless, Iran continues to make improvements. There may be multiple versions of the Sejil system. In 2009, Iran referred to the test launch as the Sejil 2. An unconfirmed report stated the a Sejil 3 may be in development. The Sejil 3 would reportedly have three stages, a maximum range of 4,000 km, and a launch weight of 38,000 kg. 3

It would be a great PR exercise, and could help get people excited about something everyone knows is there, but has no good idea about what it does. They even came up with some vaguely inspirational suggestions, like "Serenity". Their only error was to allow write-in ballots.
Sensing NASA's blunder, Stephen Colbert asked his fans to vote "Colbert" for the module name. And he won, with over five times the votes of the nearest NASA suggested competitor.
So, will the ISS have a brand new Colbert Module in a few weeks time? NASA says it "reserves the right to choose the final name" but will give "top consideration" to the vote leaders. This is what it sounds like when a huge government agency tries to squirm out of something.
I say they'd better name the module Colbert, lest they invoke the wrath of Colbert's dark legions. The people have spoken, and it was democracy that enabled the industrial and scientific prowess that allowed NASA to do anything remotely cool in the first place. And let this be a cautionary tale to others who may be planning similar promotions. The fanboys are mighty, and they will go where their master leads.
And now, a song by the prospective ISS namesake: | aerospace |

They identified the locations on Earth via various orbital paths for the onboard camera to take their photographs.
The program is a NASA educational outreach program enabling students, teachers and the public to learn about Earth from the unique perspective of space. During EarthKAM missions (periods the EarthKAM camera is operational), middle school students around the world request photos of specific locations on Earth.
The project was initiated by Dr. Sally Ride (America’s first woman in space) in 1995 and called KidSat. The KidSat camera flew on three space shuttle flights (STS 76, 81 and 86) to test its feasibility. In 1998, the program was deemed successful and renamed to EarthKAM. The EarthKAM camera flew on two additional space shuttle flights (STS 89 and 99) before moving over to the International Space Station (ISS) in 2001 on Expedition 1. The EarthKAM camera has since been a permanent payload on board the ISS and supports approximately four missions annually. | aerospace |

After their first patent application was rejected, they hired a patent lawyer who helped them draft language that would ensure they would receive the proper credit for their invention. U.S. patent number 821,393 was issued for the invention of a system of aerodynamic control that manipulated a flying machine’s surfaces.
The brothers had been experimenting with unmanned flying machines since 1899, and manned flying the next year, when they began to test their gliders. Their patent launched what is now known as the Wright brothers patent war. Orville and Wilbur defended their patent ferociously in an effort to collect licensing fees from builders, including aviation pioneer Glenn Curtiss. Curtiss would later be defeated in court by the Wrights, only to win on appeal. Curtiss would later get his own patents, and as the Wright Company and Curtiss did everything they could to receive royalties on their inventions, the cost of airplane manufacturing in the U.S. skyrocketed, at a time when war planes were desperately needed in Europe as World War I grew into a devastating conflict. These patents highly limited production capabilities.
To resolve the issue and reduce production costs for the war, the U.S. government pressured the aviation industry into a cross-licensing organization, known as a patent pool. This meant all aircraft makers were required to join and pay a small blanket fee for access to each others’ patents, with majority portions going to both Wright and Curtiss companies. The litigation expired in 1918, by which time Wilbur Wright had retired and Orville had sold his interest and retired. The Curtiss and Wright organizations merged in 1929 to form the Curtiss-Wright Corporation, which still exists.
Many historians believe the Wrights’ patent war damaged their reputation and delayed airplane development in the United States. While not wheeled automotive in nature, the invention of the flying machine forever changed transportation. Flying airplanes, of course, would heavily influence cars in relation to their aerodynamics and style, for decades to come. | aerospace |

"Man's First Flight Around The Moon" pin measures 3 1/2" diameter. Apollo 8 (December 21–27, 1968) was the first crewed spacecraft to leave low Earth orbit and the first human spaceflight to reach the Moon. The crew orbited the Moon ten times without landing, and then departed safely back to Earth. These three astronauts—Frank Borman, James Lovell, and William Anders—were the first humans to witness and photograph the far side of the Moon and an Earthrise.
Apollo 8 launched on December 21, 1968, and was the second crewed spaceflight mission flown in the United States Apollo space program after Apollo 7, which stayed in Earth orbit. Apollo 8 was the third flight and the first crewed launch of the Saturn V rocket, and was the first human spaceflight from the Kennedy Space Center, located adjacent to Cape Kennedy Air Force Station in Florida.

Access No Cost Weather with Datalink ADS-B In
Thanks to ADS-B In Receivers, pilots can improve their situational awareness with up to 22 free sources of weather information.
Flight Information System Broadcast (FIS-B) allows pilots operating with a 978 MHz universal access transceiver (UAT) to access weather services, free of charge. FIS-B relays current local and national weather and aeronautical information directly to the cockpit. Using the system, pilots can view traffic from the Datalink ADS-B products wirelessly to their iPads using ForeFlight, WingX, Jeppesen, and other popular apps.
This information helps pilots plan more efficient and safe flight paths. These services are available to UAT In equipped aircraft within ADS-B coverage regions.
FIS-B information provides aircraft with improved safety and increased situational awareness. Previously, pilots relied on paid subscriptions to weather applications or on outdated weather reports from the ground, which is not ideal for forecasting and navigating fast-moving weather patterns. With free access to inflight FIS-B information, pilots can now capture a complete picture of the weather forecast and plan their flight paths accordingly.
FIS-B systems are enabled by ADS-B technology, which is a key component of NextGen. Today, NextGen solutions are not only being integrated across US airspace, but they are also supporting a global movement to make air traffic safer and more efficient. These avionics deliver access to modernized air traffic management systems designed to improve fuel consumption and provide increased pilot situational awareness.
FreeFlight Systems engineered its Datalink ADS-B In Receiver as a modernized NextGen solution to display a broad range of information to an aircraft’s avionics, including FIS-B weather applications.

In response, North Korea said it, too, would no longer honor the no-fly zone. It also declared an end to the entire agreement it signed with South Korea in 2018 to cease hostilities. The inter-Korean military deal, signed during a brief period of rapprochement on the Korean Peninsula, included the no-fly zone and a ban on live-fire military drills near the border. In recent years, the two Koreas have accused one another of violating the agreement as their relations soured.
“We will withdraw the military steps, taken to prevent military tension and conflict in all spheres including ground, sea and air, and deploy more powerful armed forces and new-type military hardware” along the border, the North’s Ministry of National Defense said in a statement.
North Korea said on Wednesday that the rocket that lifted off a day earlier from its Tongchang-ri space launching station “accurately” put the satellite in orbit. The North’s state media devoted full front-page coverage to the launch, which came after two previous satellite launches, conducted in May and in August, failed because of rocket malfunction.
North Korea’s leader, Kim Jong-un, later visited the National Aerospace Technology Administration in Pyongyang and saw aerial photos that the satellite took of Andersen Air Force Base and other American military facilities on the Western Pacific island of Guam, the North’s official Korean Central News Agency reported.
The Malligyong-1, the North’s first homemade military spy satellite, will formally start its reconnaissance mission on Dec. 1 after several days of fine-tuning, the news agency said.
It reported that during the visit, Mr. Kim called on his country to launch more reconnaissance satellites so that its military can have “‘eyes’ overlooking a very long distance,” as well as “a strong ‘fist’ beating a very long distance,” in an apparent reference to the North’s growing arsenal of nuclear missiles.
When North Korea placed experimental scientific satellites into orbit in 2012 and again in 2016, it claimed that the devices were broadcasting “revolutionary” songs from space. But Western officials said they could not detect any signals coming from the satellites and that they eventually tumbled off their orbit, disintegrated.
On Wednesday, the South Korean military acknowledged that the North succeeded in placing Malligyong-1 in orbit. But it said it needed more analysis to determine whether the satellite was functioning normally. It was too early to determine whether the Malligyong-1 was able to open its solar panels to charge its battery and then send signals and images to its ground station, said Chang Young-keun, a professor at Korea Aerospace University just outside Seoul.
Still, governments in Washington, Tokyo and Seoul have all condemned the launch as a violation of multiple United Nations Security Council resolutions that ban North Korea from launching space rockets. The nuclear-armed North has repeatedly been accused by Washington and its allies of using its space program as a cover for developing long-range ballistic missile technologies.
When Mr. Kim watched the rocket launching at Tongchang-ri on Tuesday, he was accompanied by senior officials in charge of the North’s nuclear and missile programs — including Jang Chang Ha, the general director of the North’s General Missile Bureau.
In response to the Malligyong-1 launch, South Korea moved swiftly to nullify part of the agreement it signed with North Korea in 2018 to ease military tensions. The deal had established a no-fly zone along the inter-Korean border and banned aerial surveillance flights and live-fire military drills there.
South Korea said on Wednesday it would no longer abide by the no-fly zone or the ban on frontline surveillance flights.
President Yoon Suk Yeol’s conservative government has often threatened to scrap the deal, saying that the agreement undermined its ability to closely monitor the North’s capabilities for a surprise attack and that the North repeatedly flouted the deal by conducting artillery drills near the border.
“North Korea has made it clear that it is not interested in easing military tensions on the Korean Peninsula or in living up to the military agreement to build trust,” Prime Minister Han Duck-soo of South Korea said on Wednesday.
The Malligyong-1 was believed to have only rudimentary functions as a spy satellite, unable to deliver the kind of high-resolution imagery that countries like the United States get from their satellites, according to the officials who studied the debris from the failed launch in May.
North Korea is believed to have received technical help from Russia in preparing for Tuesday’s launch, according to South Korean officials, but there has not been enough time for the North to build a new, better satellite since its last failed launch in August, said Mr. Chang. The North could improve the satellites it planned to launch in the future, he added, if Russia helps it acquire sensors, computers and other satellite equipment.
Military cooperation between North Korea and Russia has accelerated since Mr. Kim met with President Vladimir V. Putin in the Russian Far East in September.
A fully functional military satellite capability would give North Korea real-time information about U.S. and South Korean military activities on the peninsula, according to Victor Cha and Ellen Kim, both Korea experts at the Washington-based Center for Strategic and International Studies.
“This could also afford North Korea progress in fielding a survivable nuclear deterrent,” they wrote. “At the same time, this could also show North Korea that its professed claim of an imminent attack by the United States and South Korea is not a reality, and this could help stabilize the peninsula.”

It's one of my favorite parts of a flight to look out the window as we come in for a landing. Mostly, because I can't wait to get off the plane but also it's kind of cool to check out things below from the air.
The last thing I would expect to see is a guy wearing a jet pack flying fairly close to the plane I'm on at an altitude of about 3000 feet.
That's just what happened this past Sunday as an American Airlines jet was coming in for a landing at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX).
"Tower, American 1997, we just passed a guy in a jet pack," the American Airlines pilot radioed to air traffic control, according to recordings by LiveATC.net.
I'm sure this isn't something air traffic controllers hear every day. "American 1997… Okay…. Were they off to your left side or right side?" the controller asked.
The pilot reported the guy wearing the jet pack was flying at an altitude of about 3000 feet and approximately 300 yards from American Jetliner.
Moments later the tower received another report of a man wearing a jet pack flying near their SkyWest jet. "We just saw the guy passing by us in the jet pack," the SkyWest pilot told controllers.
Air Traffic Controllers immediately warn other aircraft in the area of the situation and warned them to avoid the area. the FBI was notified and is investigating.
"You don’t hear that every day," a JetBlue pilot said. "Only in L.A." | aerospace |
