The Complete Advanced Pilot combines these two phases in flight training to produce a seamless, effective method for efficient training. It is the best way to expedite the Instrument and Commercial certification process.
Taking and passing an FAA Knowledge Exam is required for the instrument rating and the commercial certificate. Using these tests as the premise for learning, Gardner applies practical information so readers are not only prepared for their exams, but also for the cockpit. Each chapter concludes with sample questions taken directly from the FAA tests, and a comprehensive glossary and index are included as well as useful aviation website links. This practical application of the FAA Knowledge Exam is not available in any other book. With the author's approachable yet concise writing style, readers will be able to quickly grasp the subjects, pass the required tests and checkrides, and have an operational understanding of instrument flying and the commercial ticket that they can take to the cockpit. Review questions follow each chapter. | aerospace |

This channel has been available in research mode from the ATSR instrument onboard the ERS satellites and from the Thematic Mapper instrument of the Landsat satellites. However, the use of channel 3A for NOAA-15 will be restricted to a few test periods since the 3.7 μm channel (denoted 3B) will still be maintained as the operational A VHRR channel 3. Such a test period occured during the spring of 1999. From March 9th until April 20th NOAA-15 were transmitting AVHRR Channel 3A and 3B data according to the following schedule: Channel 3A was operational during daylight passes only, as the spacecraft crosses the terminator into daylight, with the additional constraint that the spacecraft subpoint is North of 40 degrees N. As the spacecraft crosses the terminator into darkness, Channel 3A is toggled off, and Channel 3B toggled on. | aerospace |

sleeves can rotate as well as slide along axle, the rear-curving heel
of the footplates extends downward as a braking skid when pilot raises toes
close to vertical.

- Author: Elsie Buchanan Mar 17, 2017,
Mar 17, 2017, 1:13
Transport Canada has announced new flying restrictions for recreational drone users that limit when and where it's legal to fly.
The government will require all recreational drone operators to mark their drone with their contact information and forbid their use at night.
Specifically, drones can not fly higher than 90 metres; fly within 75 metres of buildings, vehicles or people, and have to stay nine kilometres away from anywhere aircraft land or take off.
Any individual violating the new rules could be subject to a fine of up to $3,000, and up to $15,000 for corporations.
The new rules, announced Thursday, March 16, do not affect operators of drones for commercial, academic or research purposes.
Those who fly with the Model Aeronautics Association of Canada in approved zones are also exempt from the new rules.
Garneau says he is imposing the new measures under the Aeronautical Act, which allows him to take action "when there is a significant risk to aviation".
The reasoning, he said, is an increase in the number of cases involving drones that have been reported to his department or law enforcement agencies.
Until official regulations are put forward in June, Garneau said it's necessary to implement stricter rules on current operators. That's up from 85 incidents in 2015, and 41 incidents in 2014.
Drones will continue to be prohibited from flying higher than 90 metres above the ground without first obtaining a special permit from Transport Canada.
Garneau said the public will be able to provide feedback on the draft regulations once they're formulated.
Garneau says the consequences could be disastrous if one of these encounters results in a collision between a drone and an aircraft. As the national organization representing over 500 members from the professional unmanned aerial systems community, we applauds the Minister's initiative to take steps to implement clear and enforceable regulations to deter the hazardous operation of recreational drones.
"That's the kind of nightmare scenario that keeps me up at night", said Canadian Transport Minister (and former astronaut) Marc Garneau at a news conference.
Garneau said the new rules should go a long way to ensuring safe drone use and won't harm growth in the drone industry. | aerospace |

This year I learned that the Air and Space Museum has an Annex in East County that is totally free! While it might seem odd to place a Museum on the border between El Cajon and Santee, Gillespie Field was actually chosen by the Marines to be a parachute training facility in the early 1940’s.
While the museum itself is a little bit run down, the boys had tons of fun walking around the flight hanger and the grounds. Some retired machines had their doors taken off and their buttons in tact so the boys had tons of fun switching levers and pushing buttons.
There were plenty of fully rebuilt models and machine parts for the kids to look at as well as refurbished vintage airplane rockers for small children to enjoy.
If you’re interested in helping keep this place alive for future generations to enjoy, please consider donating to the Museum here as the place is operated by retired military volunteers. Thanks for keeping San Diego heritage alive! Official San Diego Air and Space Museum Website | aerospace |

TANGERANG, JULY 6, 2018 - Soekarno-Hatta International Airport with more than 63 million passengers per year is the busiest airport in Indonesia, and even now it is considered the 17th busiest airport in the world by Airport Council International.
This can be seen from the number of passenger movements at Soekarno-Hatta International Airport in the first semester (January - June 2018) which reached 32,424,261 passengers or grew by 9% compared to the same period in 2017, which was 29,837,845 passengers.
Other growth was also seen in terms of aircraft movements, namely an increase of 28.9%, where Soekarno-Hatta International Airport had served 229,120 aircraft movements compared to the previous year, which was only 177,686 aircraft movements.
With the rapid increase in traffic this has the potential to cause several problems at the Soekarno-Hatta airport, namely the low On-Time Performance of airline airlines, the lack of effective aircraft movements on the airside and also the less optimal use of flight slots.
Seeing the growth of passengers and aircraft, PT Angkasa Pura II (Persero) rushed to complete the transition of airport operations management with a technology approach, namely completing the Airport Operation Control Center (AOCC) project and increasing airside capacity by building East Cross Taxiway (ECT) and building a third runway in order to make Soekarno-Hatta International Airport a Smart Airport and increase its competitiveness among other airports in the Southeast Asia region.
Vice President of Corporate Communication PT Angkasa Pura II (Persero), Yado Yarismano said, "The construction of the AOCC, ECT and the third runway is based on the growth of the airline industry which is quite significant each year and makes operational dynamics more diverse. Through AOCC, which can monitor all activities at the airport in real time, we are optimistic that all aspects running smoothly according to regulations are accompanied by the creation of punctuality in operations which results in improved service to airlines and airline passengers. "
The existence of AOCC at Soekarno-Hatta International Airport later will be able to improve the quality of airport operational services, including in terms of increasing On Time Performance (OTP) airlines flights, optimizing flight slots at airports, and more effective and efficient ground time.
Besides the existence of the AOCC, Soekarno-Hatta International Airport which currently has two runways capable of serving aircraft movements reaching 1,300 movements per day or around 81 aircraft movements per hour with nearly 200,000 passengers per day, East Cross Taxiway will be built in the future increasing runway quality to up to 86 aircraft movements per hour and also with the construction of the third runway Soekarno-Hatta International Airport will be able to service between 114 and 120 aircraft movements per hour so as to provide space to increase and maintain OTP of all airlines operating at this airport. | aerospace |

EASA’s test flights come more than two months after the U.S. regulator, the Federal Aviation Administration, and Boeing completed certification test flights on the 737 MAX, a move viewed as a key milestone toward its return to service.
The MAX has been grounded since March 2019 after two fatal crashes in five months killed 346 people.
“While Boeing still has some final actions to close off, EASA judges the overall maturity of the re-design process is now sufficient to proceed to flight tests,” the agency said. (https://
EASA has been working with the FAA and Boeing to schedule the flight tests, a process which was hindered by COVID-19 travel restrictions between Europe and the United States.
Boeing told analysts in late July that MAX deliveries would resume in the fourth quarter, a timeline that raises the prospect that the aircraft’s U.S. return to service could slip into 2021. | aerospace |

It was one of 500 ordered under Lend-Lease arrangements for the Fleet Air Arm and allocated the serial FB645. After the war 353 of these training and communications aircraft were returned to the USA where they were purchased by Vultee and re-manufactured on a production line at Wayne, Michigan as the V-77 to a civilian specification similar to the Stinson SR-10 Reliant. With constructor’s number 77-373, NC33543 received its first FAA airworthiness certificate on 18 December 1955. Originally owned by John G Peppard it was flown by Robert McMillan at Kansas City, Missouri for 24 years before purchase by Donald Maxfield in 1979. At this time the aircraft went through an extensive restoration to ‘as new’ condition with Lil Red Aero his aircraft engineering business in Kearney, Nebraska. He and his daughter Anna made regular short flights in the attractively red-painted Gull Wing right up to the time of his death in 2015, by which date it had logged just 911 hours flying.

The company tweeted that the accident was due to “an anomaly” on the pad during testing before the September 3 launch date.
United Launch Alliance’s biggest challenger, Elon Musk’s SpaceX, lost a rocket and its payload Thursday in a fiery blast on its Cape Canaveral launch pad. The company tweeted that the accident was due to “an anomaly” on the pad during testing before the September 3 launch date.
The 5.5 ton Amos 6 satellite made by Israeli company Spacecom was aboard SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket and was also destroyed in the blast. It reportedly cost close to $200 million to manufacture. The cost was to be split between Spacecom and Facebook, who had intended to rent the satellite as means of spreading the social network to SubSaharan Africa, Mashable reported.
No one was injured during the blast, according to SpaceX, but it is not known as of now how this setback will affect the company’s future and ongoing competition with ULA. In a similar July 15 incident, SpaceX lost a rocket and payload headed for the International Space Station, Quartz reported.
This financial setback comes just days after SpaceX closed a deal with Luxembourg-based SES to fly the first recycled rocket sometime this fall.

According to aircraft engine manufacturers, the friction caused by starting a cold engine causes the same wear as 500 hours of run time. It’s critical to preheat every engine, from 4 cylinders to General Electric’s gigantic GE90 and everything in between.
This article explores the latest innovations in aircraft preheaters, their advantages, disadvantages, and provides information on preheating methods.
Background Information On Aircraft Engine Preheating
Preheating uses an external heat source to increase the aircraft’s engine and oil sump to its optimal running temperature before starting. Preheating helps prevent potential damage to bearings, pistons, and crankshaft caused by cold starts.
Cold temperatures cause crankshaft bearings to shrink, leaving less space for lubricating oil. Less oil means high bearing wear or even a “spun bearing,” leading to a catastrophic failure.
Benefits of an Aircraft Preheater
There are two primary benefits to preheating piston aircraft engines. It thins the oil to help protect the engine from the first crank and keeps the crankcase and engine parts at a uniform temperature.
Preheating provides a range of benefits, including:
- Reduces engine wear, increasing engine life.
- Starts faster and decreases the chance of frosting the spark plugs.
- Cuts the run-up time and saves fuel.
- Prevents cylinder scoring leading to a seized piston.
- Ensures immediate and proper oil flow.
Engine manufacturers mandate preheating because it improves the engine’s performance, especially at takeoff.
When Should You Preheat an Aircraft Engine?
Aircraft engine manufacturer Continental recommends preheating when an engine has sat in outside temperatures of 20°F (-6.7°C) or lower for more than 2 hours. Another manufacturer, Lycoming, instructs owners to preheat anytime the engine is at 10°F (-12.2°C) or colder.
Proper preheating is critical to ensure the engine is warm and at proper clearance before takeoff. There are a variety of preheating methods. Some have been around for decades.
Traditional Engine Preheating Methods
Traditionally, aircraft owners have relied on various methods to preheat their engines, including the following:
- Forced Air – Electric: These systems use an electric heater and a fan to blow hot air into the engine compartment.
- Forced Air – Propane: Combustion heaters burn propane (sometimes gasoline or diesel) to produce heated air, which a fan blows into the engine compartment.
- Engine Block Heaters: Electric engine block heaters are installed directly into the engine block and heat the engine directly using multiple heading pads connected to a wiring harness.
- Oil Pan or Dipstick Heaters: Electric oil pan heaters warm the oil in the engine by directly inserting it into the dipstick opening or installed on the oil pan.
Each preheating method has its advantages and disadvantages. The best method for a particular aircraft depends on several factors, such as the climate, the type of engine, and the availability of power sources.
Innovative Aircraft Engine Preheating Methods
In recent years, there have been significant advancements in aircraft preheating technology. One such innovation is heated blankets designed explicitly as an aircraft engine heater. They also have self-contained thermostats to prevent overheating like industrial thermal loops. Read all about the thermal loop here.
- Aircraft heating blankets: The blankets are electrically powered and cover the engine compartment or nacelle, keeping the exterior ice-free and the engine warm. Aircraft heating blankets can withstand engine-generated heat after a flight. They are made of high-quality, fire-resistant materials and are easy to install and remove. Overall, heating blankets are safe, reliable, and cost-effective for preheating aircraft engines.
- Wi-Fi Enabled Switching: While not technically a preheater, remote switches save time by allowing pilots to switch on installed preheaters hours before arriving at the airport. Switchbox is one brand of remote-operated control device operated by a cellphone app.
It’s important to note that while these methods may offer advantages in certain situations, traditional preheating methods are still widely used and effective. The method chosen depends on the specific needs of the aircraft.
Advantages and Disadvantages of Different Preheating Options
Each preheating option comes with its pros and cons.
|Traditional Engine Preheating Methods
|Forced air – Electric
|Fast and efficient, it can heat an entire engine.
|You must store equipment, and it requires electrical power.
|Forced Air – Propane
|Rapid thaw time. High heat.
|Requires propane, tank storage, and electrical outlet. Open flame hazards.
|Engine Block Heaters
|Heats the entire engine block.
|Need an electrical outlet. Requires professional installation. Long warm-up time.
|Oil Pan or Dipstick Heaters
|Easy to install, heats oil directly.
|Need an electrical outlet. Only heats the oil, not the entire engine.
|Innovative Aircraft Engine Preheating Methods
|Aircraft Heating Blankets
|Portable and easy to use with different aircraft.
|Only heats specific aircraft parts, which may not be suitable for extremely cold temperatures.
Most aircraft engine preheaters require access to power outlets, which may not always be available in all locations.
Which Method is Best for Your Aircraft?
If you keep your plane outside, snow removal is a problem. Using heating blankets on the wings and the ground prevents snow removal mistakes. Powerblanket’s Extra-Hot line of thawing and heating blankets is an all-in-one heating solution that can preheat aircraft, providing superior protection and rapid thaw capability.

The launch was the North’s first this year. Experts say North Korea could ramp up its provocative missile tests as a way to influence the results of South Korea’s parliamentary elections in April and the U.S. presidential election in November.
South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said in a statement that it detected the launch of a ballistic missile of an intermediate-range class from the North’s capital region on Sunday afternoon. It said the missile flew about 1,000 kilometers (620 miles) before landing in the waters between the Korean Peninsula and Japan.
The Joint Chiefs of Staff called the launch a provocation that poses a serious threat to peace on the Korean Peninsula. It said South Korea’s military will maintain its readiness to overwhelmingly respond to any provocations by North Korea. | aerospace |

The first saw Air Hamburg announced as the launch customer for the new Legacy 650E. The German charter operator has placed an order for three aircraft, valued at $77.7m, based on current list prices, with delivery of the first example scheduled for the third quarter.
“The Legacy 650E is an obvious choice, considering the unparalleled experience that our current fleet of Legacy 600/650 already provides our customers on their flights to destinations throughout Europe, Russia, and the Middle East,” said Simon Ebert, Partner, Air Hamburg. “The new version of this proven platform best serves our growth plan by continuing to offer a premium charter service with the latest technologies onboard one of the industry’s most comfortable and reliable business jets.”
Air Hamburg’s fleet includes a total of 11 Embraer aircraft, comprising eight Legacy 600/650s, one Legacy 500 and two Phenom 300s.
Embraer’s second deal saw Surf Air Europe select the Phenom 300 as the launch platform for its operations. The aircraft will be managed by FlairJet, the UK-based management arm of Flexjet, and maintained by Embraer Executive Jets. Californian-based membership carrier Surf Air plans to launch its European operations next month.
“I am excited to forge this partnership with FlairJet, given that our business objectives to further expand European operations on both fronts align significantly,” said Simon Talling-Smith, CEO, of Surf Air Europe. “This is an important move as we work to expand our footprint globally and bring our successful and innovative product from the US to new members in the growing intra-European business travel market.”
Peter Griffith, SVP Sales, Europe, CIS & Africa at Embraer Executive Jets added: “We have enjoyed a long relationship with FlairJet and Flexjet that embodies some of our most popular products. We have jointly pioneered many initiatives together that continue to reshape the market.” | aerospace |

If you'd like to leave a review, you can start by going to the game page.
Really enjoyable and strategic solitaire game. Your decisions begin from choosing which pilots and planes to use based on the mission and your enemy, arming the aircraft and determining what strategy to use -- high/low altitude, what targets to hit, etc. A few bad dice rolls and it's really tough to recover, but it can be done. I would definitely recommend picking this game up. I wish there were more target bound mission cards, which are drawn before and after every mission -- just for more variety. Plus set up time for each mission can take a while. Other than that it's simply a fun, engaging game. | aerospace |

Caitlin acquired the necessary skill-set through observing him.)
- It was more that Airwolf was such an experimentally high-performance aircraft that exceptionally few pilots could hope to fly it in 'turbo mode' and survive. Apparently Caitlin is an exceptional flying prodigy, given that it was once an explicit plot point that only half a dozen pilots in the world were on the level of Stringfellow Hawke, and that most of them were dead. (And one of them his brother.) Dom's flown Airwolf as well, conventionally, but to the best of my knowledge he's never flown it in turbo mode. See Fridge Brilliance for why it makes sense in ways the writers probably didn't intend.
- Dom flies Airwolf with the turbos in seasons 2 and 3. Usually in order to save String's butt. It's also presumed that he did so to deliver the human heart in "Santini's Millions". He does not, however, fly her in combat with the turbos.
- Alternate Character Interpretation: Archangel; is his friendship with Hawke genuine and the terms of their deal the best he can do, or is he just using Hawke as a powerful deniable asset by dangling a carrot on a string?
- Crowning Music of Awesome: Opening theme and often heard during power-up scenes and routinely during battles.
- Fridge Brilliance: Just what is it about Airwolf that makes it so only Moffet and Hawke could fly it to its fullest abilities? When in turbo mode, Airwolf essentially becomes a fighter plane. The entire concept is, in terms of realistic military application, a Game Breaker; helicopters are able to handle situations in small spaces and areas that fighter jets can't because they have minimum cruising speeds. However, helicopters stand no chance against fighter jets in combat, and a single fighter can easily solve the problem of ground units being assailed by helicopters. Airwolf can, at will, switch between both roles with one press of a button. The problem here is that piloting a gunship and piloting a fighter jet are two entirely different tasks, and someone like Dominic who only knows how to fly helicopters can't fly Airwolf in turbo mode because he doesn't know how to fly fighter jets.
- Dom is show to use the turbos at times when he has to rescue String. However, he is never shown to use them in combat, which would require much more skill.
- Where this falls down, of course, is that rotary-wing pilots do all of their initial flight training on fixed-wing aircraft, such as the T-34. So while a rotary pilot could not be expected to randomly be able to fly an advanced fixed-wing such as a B-2 or F/A-18, flying normally, even in jet aircraft, is very reasonable. Supersonic flight is not really very different, especially when adding in the computer-assists all modern supersonic aircraft (and of course, The Lady) have.
- Special Effects Failure A badly-painted model (probably an Airfix kit) was employed every time Season 4 had finally scraped right through the barrel for Stock Footage. | aerospace |

Watch as Christina, a youthful and attractive First Officer, pilots an approach and landing in Tel Aviv while operating a brand-new Airbus A321. Although the weather is clear for today’s landing, the low morning light creates a tremendous amount of glare inside the A321 cockpit.
Less than 10% of airline pilots worldwide, according to the International Society of Women Airline Pilots (ISA). A new tomorrow is being paved by these women. Men have been viewed as pilots of aircraft and women as serving staff for many years. Although attitudes and times are evolving, there is still a significant gender difference in the cockpit between men and women.
Although hot female pilots are still considerably less common than their male counterparts, the 10% of female pilots that do exist are an outstanding bunch, and they hope to see more women join them.
The newest figures on female student pilots are encouraging, and more women will soon be taking to the skies in the cockpit rather than the cabin, according to the Institute for Women of Aviation Worldwide. You can follow some of them on Instagram, Facebook, and other social media platforms if you’re seeking some inspiring female pilot role models and mentors for yourself or a young female aviator.

On March 21, POEM-3 made a fiery re-entry to the Earth’s atmosphere and is believed to have splashed down into the North Pacific Ocean at 7.34 pm IST, the agency said.
PSLV-C58 is the third such mission in the series where the fourth stage of the rocket was used as an experimental platform (POEM), scripting success each time.
Through the POEM, which serves as a very cost-effective platform for carrying out short-duration space-borne experiments, Isro has opened up new vistas for academia, startups and NGEs to carry out space experiments with their new payloads. This opportunity has been effectively used by numerous startups, universities and NGEs for carrying out experiments in space, which included electric thrusters, satellite dispensers, and star-tracking. Out of the nine payloads, six were delivered by non-governmental entities (NGEs) through space regulator IN-SPACe. The mission objectives of these payloads were met in a month.
PSLV Orbital Experimental Module-3 (POEM-3)
The stage was de-orbited from 650 km to 350 km, which facilitated its early re-entry and was passivated to remove residual propellants to minimise any accidental break-up risks.
The orbital altitude of the upper stage continued to decay under the influence of natural forces, primarily atmospheric drag with the module (NORAD ID 58695) expected to have impacted the North Pacific Ocean (Lat 6.4 N & Long 158.7 W) on March 21, 2024, at 14:04 UTC (19:34 Hrs. IST), Isro said. Till near re-entry, POEM-3 was tracked by Isro’s ISTRAC ground stations. The Multi-Object Tracking Radar at Sriharikota also tracked the fourth stage (PS4 stage) return to the Earth.
Isro said it will continue its commitment to providing a cost-effective orbital experiment platform. | aerospace |

Earlier the three-wheeled vehicle was an auto-rickshaw and now, its an aircraft!
With the passion and determination to fly and a little support from destiny, Shrikant today has achieved his childhood dream.
Born to a security guard Pantawane, Shrikant used to be a delivery boy in his school days in order to support his family’s dwindling finances. He later on became an auto-rickshaw driver.
At a very mild age, Shrikant was burdened with heavy responsibilities but he was determined to complete his studies. He would work during the days and study at nights.
One fine day, Shrikant saw a step which could travel him to his dreams, he had to go to an airport to deliver a parcel where he spotted a man dressed smartly in a white attire. After enquiring, Shrikant was told that he was a Pilot. Curios enough he spoke to the cadets where he learnt that one could also become a pilot even without being inducted in the Indian Air Force. His conversation with a tea-seller outside the airport apprised him of a pilot scholarship program by the DGCA. There was no stopping for Shrikant after this.
That was a moment when he decided he would be a commercial pilot. Right after a successful 12th result, he joined a flight school in Madhya Pradesh; the biggest obstacle for him was English that made him too inferior. Taking the bull by its horn, he accepted the challenge and defeated the barrier.
The anticipation for Shrikant to soar the skies in a commercial aircraft finally came to an end when he got selected IndiGo. He is now a first officer also known as second pilot or co-pilot with the airline. Commercial pilots start their career as a first officer. The motivational story of this auto-driver turned aircraft commant reveals that if you have a dream coupled with determination, the destiny gives you wings to fly high.

Can you introduce yourself to us?
My name is Philip Smith, I am retired living in New York. I like astrophotography, space and scientific exploration documentaries. I also like imaging The International Space Station / The Chinese Space Station along with fast moving jets.
This is a sample of one of the images of a fast-moving jet called > F/A-18E Super Hornet < coming out of what looks like a portal.
If you want to see more of my images and videos, go to Philip Smith Facebook page.
Q2: Why do you love astronomy and when did you start astrophotography?
On my TV July 20,1969, at 10:56 p.m. EDT, American astronaut, Neil Armstrong, was 240,000 miles from Earth. He spoke these words to me and more than a billion people listening at home: “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.” Stepping off the lunar landing module Eagle, Neil Armstrong, and America, became the first to have a human walk on the surface of the Moon.
That was the day I wanted a telescope to look at the Moon and all its craters. On Christmas Day, there was my 1st telescope. I took it outside in the night sky to look at the Moon, planets, and airplane lights. In the day time, it would be used to look at aircraft of all types and sizes. I pretended they were spaceships for fun and wonder, what the people inside were thinking and talking about, and what they could see looking back down to the ground. When the spaceship would move out of view, my last thought would be, what was the magical place they were about to explore? It was later in life I could to buy a camera and a larger telescope to document what I was seeing. As a young boy I learned to stop walking with my head looking down all the time. Now and forever, I will take more time looking up to the many unknown wonders far and beyond the reaches of our solar system.
Q3: Compared to other types of photography, where do you think astrophotography’s charm lies in?
I like all kinds of photography. You get the opportunity to reveal the hidden wonders when you have the right filters, cameras and tracking mount setup that are need because they can’t be seen with the unassisted eye. Examples are deep-sky nebula gasses and distant galaxies. The more date you gather on any given object, the more your final image will give you the chance to reveal a better image. This is because the signal to noise ratio is greater. These are sample images on the internet for distant galaxies.
The two images below, were my attempts from 11-24-2006 to image M42 Orion Nebula and NGC 1977 Running Man Nebula with my Canon EOS camera.
Q4: What equipment do you have? Any photos of them?
This is my ISS Tracking xbox 360 hand controller I use to communicate with the Videos Sky Pro software.
My last setup was the same for both Space Station images. I used my HOTECH Advanced CT Laser Collimator first to align the primary and secondary mirror, for good collimation. My imaging setup is an Edge HD 14 ′′ telescope with red filter on a ZWO ASI174MM (mono) camera at full sensor 1936 x 1216 and 2x Barlow Lens and the MoonLite Focuser. All on Orion Atlas EQ-G mount custom-built inside and out with custom ISS tracking software, Videos Sky 21018 Professional Software, made by Emmanuel Rietsch. This software lets me lock on to the ISS and take over the mount to keep up with the ISS. I use 2 laptops. The 1st laptop is for the ISS tracking software. The 2nd is my very fast laptop for recording and imaging at high frame rates with the software FireCapture V2.608 x46. I use processing software, AutoStakkert3, VirtualDub, RegiStax6, and SC6.
Q5: Where do you normally take astrophotos? From your backyard or somewhere else?
I take most of my astrophotos in my observatory. There are different times I may need to go to another area on my property to image. Having your own permanently place to keep your telescope setup all the time, is a great time saver. No more setting up and breaking down my different imaging equipment.
Q6: Your great work the “ISS and Tianhe-1” shows amazingly rich details of these two objects. We love it! Could you please tell us specifically how you captured it?
My imaging setup was specifically the same for both Space Station images. I used an Edge HD 14 ′′ telescope with a red filter and 2x Barlow Lens on a ZWO ASI174MM camera at full sensor 1936 x 1216 in my MoonLite Focuser. The Orion Atlas EQ-G mount is custom built inside and out with custom ISS tracking software, Videos Shy 21018 Professional Software, made by Emmanuel Rietsch and assembled for me. This software allowed me lock onto to the sunlight off the ISS. Then the tracking software took over the mount to keep up with the ISS. A hand controller was used to help keep ISS centered on the sensor. I use 2 laptops. The 1st laptop is for the ISS tracking software and hand controller. The 2nd laptop is my very fast laptop for recording and imaging at high frame rates. The images below represent both Space Stations true to scale and what it would look like if the two Space Stations were flying side by side. The International Space Station (ISS) and Chinese Space Station (CSS) were imaged at the same height. I think I am the first amateur astronomer to get two high-resolution images to make this 1 composite image. I hope in time to get even better images to share with you.
For more info. > Chinese and International Space Station
Q7: We see many space station photos on your Facebook page, why are you so obsessed with it?
I am obsessed with imaging the International Space Station and now also with The Chinese Space Station. When given the opportunity to see the ISS with your own eyes, knowing that bright light is reflected by the Sun, and realizing there are astronauts inside. Personally, for me, it is a chilling moment that still can make me smile uncontrollably. Watching the Space Station is like watching a jet moving fast across the sky. It gives me an adrenalin rush but with not much time at all to image it. The ISS revolves around the Earth at about 17,500 mph (~28,000 km/h), which means it takes about 90 minutes for one revolution. and then about 16 revolutions per day.
The ISS rotates about its center of mass at a rate of about 4 degrees per minute so that it will complete a full rotation once per orbit. This allows it to keep its belly towards the Earth.
Because the Earth is rotating, the ISS doesn’t pass over the same places on Earth each orbit. Each orbit is 22.5 degrees to the east of the previous orbit 360-degree rotation of the Earth in one day, divided by 16 orbits of the ISS about the Earth in one day.
I like taking images of all the different spacecrafts that come and go to the Space Station. China will need to carry out about 10 missions in total to complete the assembly of the Chinese Space Station (CSS). I hope to image them all as each module is added. It is also nice to image new added experimental or scientific testing modules like the BEAM docked on the ISS.
Please Note: I made history with this image below which I took 5 years ago.
BEAM 5th Year Anniversary On ISS
The BEAM (Bigelow Expandable Activity Module) experimental module, launched on April 8 aboard the Dragon CRS-8.
Q8: What do you think are the most important and difficult parts when imaging the space station?
The most important and difficult part when imaging the Space Station is to have good seeing at the time of the ISS Passes. You need to understand good images or recordings of the ISS are far and few. The temperature inside your telescopes needs to be as close as the ambient temperature to help get better images. If you are off on your focus point and or bad collimation on your telescope lens or mirrors, then you will never get your best clear sharp images. You will always have bad to no images if, weather anomalies like bad seeing, bad transparency, clouds, rain, snowing, jet streams and global wind belts, overhead at the time of the ISS passing across the sky. Imaging the Space Station is not like imaging other targets like the Moon or messier objects in the night sky, which you can image for hours each night. The Space Station pass waits for no one, as it races across the sky. They are also not always visible to image every day or night due to the ISS orbit. If you ever had the opportunity to see the Space Station in the sky, you will find a fun fact that you can only see the ISS in your area at nights or early morning when it is out from the Earth’s shadow. The sunlight reflecting off the Space Station makes the target possible to be seen by eye.
This is a good website I use which is called WINDY.COM. You can learn more about how to find and image the ISS by yourself. Go to Szabolcs Nagy, website, spacestationguys.com. Szabolcs. It has ISS images posted on it and ISS imagers all around the world.

Q9: You also photograph our Moon, the Sun and planets, but we rarely see your deep-sky photos, can you tell us the reason?
I have nothing against deep-sky imaging. I feel it is very time consuming when I do not have the great processing skills to produce the images that I want to post. As of last year, I started to more image the planets with my ZWO mono and color cameras. The old deep-sky image of Pleiades, Seven Sisters (M45) was taken with a Canon EOS camera. The Saturn, Mars, and Jupiter was taken with ZWO mono and color cameras. The Venus Solar transit, was taken with my Canon EOS camera. It looks like to me the Sun was going to eat Venus with the help of the cloud. It was taken with my Canon EOS camera.
Q10: The space exploration has been rapidly developed for the recent decades, in your view, what’s the meaning by doing this? Why we need to build those rockets, capsules, and stations?
Space exploration has been rapidly developing for the recent decades. Example: Rockets and cargo capsules first shipped the STARLINK Satellites to the ISS and then deployed them from there into space. Starlink Satellites may be important ‘Learning Technology’ of the century. It’s not just global coverage, it’s what it can deliver. The big problem for deep-sky astrophotographers, is the need for long exposure times to get the data required for deep-sky imaging. These Satellites show up and ruin the image. I do feel there is a need for a military Space Force.
We need to build rockets, capsules, and Space Stations to keep up with space exploration. We will need them for the survival of humankind. We may need to go to another Earth-like life sustaining planet.
Q11: How did you know ZWO? What was your first ASI camera?
Many years ago, I liked looking at images of planets on the internet. My friend, Sylvain Weiller, told me about ZWO cameras and that they were running a sale at that time. My first ZWO cameras were the ASI120MM-S (mono) and ASI120MC-S (color). I bought them together. I have many more ZWO cameras now. I look at them the same way I look at my tools in a tool box. I use each camera for the right purpose for different imaging targets.
Q12: Do you have anyone you would like to thank for inspiring you and helping you get the way you do now to record and image the International Space Station with your modified tracking setup?
After seeing Thierry Legault’s ISS images and videos on the internet. I was inspired and wanted to image the ISS for myself. I learned Thierry Legault, had contacted Emmanuel Rietsch, for designing a tracking system. Emmanuel Rietsch, in collaboration with Thierry Legault, designed a satellite tracking system. I then bought from Emmanuel Rietsch, an EQ-G “FULL” modification tracking system with custom tracking software. That is why I can now share my ISS images with you.
Sylvain Weiller taught me how to use software to stack ISS images at that time. I am very also grateful for that. I still use Sylvain Weiller software, ALARMClock! before ISS pass. It sets the voice command to remind me “NOT” to forget to press record button in the imaging software FireCapture. You may forget to capture the target in the excitement of seeing the ISS on your laptop monitor. Michael Tzukran is now imaging high-resolution ISS images with a different kind of tracking system and setup. He gave me good advice about a filter and barlow. I used them to image my last couple of ISS images. This is a high-resolution sample of Michael Tzukran > ISS. < image.
Q13: Why do you choose the ASI174MM camera? Are you satisfied with it?
The ZWO ASI174MM is the only global shutter camera in the ZWO planetary camera’s line up. The ZWO ASI174MM has a high frame rate of 164fps, large pixel size of 5.86um, and a high-resolution sensor of 1936 x 1216. It is currently recognized as the most suitable camera for high-speed photography and for imaging the fast moving objects, the International Space Station (ISS) and the Chinese Space Station (CSS). I am very satisfied with this ASI174MM because it is a global shutter camera with a high frame rate at full sensor.
To learn more go to Rolling vs Global Shutter Cameras.
Q14: What kind of cameras do you hope us to develop in the future?
I would like to see more Global Shutter Cameras with larger sensors and faster fps that can freeze fast moving objects like the ISS. This way, I can still use a larger X Barlow lens and keep the ISS centered on the sensor to capture high-resolution images. The Rolling Shutter is not good for imaging fast moving objects. You will see the reasons when you look at the Rolling vs Global Shutter Cameras video.
Q15: What shooting goal do you have? What object do you plan to capture next time?
My imaging goals are to try and to record more historical astronomical events like my images in Q6 and Q7. I plan on capturing all the modules that will complete the assembly of the Chinese Space Station (CSS) as China will carry out about 10 missions in total. I will keep on imaging newer modules docked on the ISS. | aerospace |

WASHINGTON, July 19, 2022 -- NASA has awarded a NASA Launch Services (NLS) II contract to Space Exploration Technologies Corporation (SpaceX) in Hawthorne, California, to provide launch service for the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope mission. The Roman Space Telescope is the top-priority large space mission recommended by the 2010 Astronomy and Astrophysics Decadal Survey.
NLS II is an indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract. The total cost for NASA to launch the Roman telescope is approximately $255 million, which includes the launch service and other mission related costs. The telescope's mission currently is targeted to launch in October 2026, as specified in the contract, on a Falcon Heavy rocket from Launch Complex 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
The telescope's science program will include dedicated investigations to tackle outstanding questions in cosmology, including the effects of dark energy and dark matter, and exoplanet exploration. Roman also includes a substantial general investigator program to enable further studies of astrophysical phenomena to advance other science goals.
The telescope was previously known as the Wide Field InfraRed Survey Telescope (WFIRST), but it was later renamed in honor of Dr. Nancy Grace Roman for her extraordinary work at NASA, which paved the way for large space telescopes.
NASA's Launch Services Program at Kennedy is responsible for launch vehicle program management of the SpaceX launch service. The Roman Space Telescope project is managed by NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland.

Now, it's only a matter of months before the private company becomes the first to shuttle human astronauts into space as part of NASA's Commercial Crew Program. At the post-launch press conference, NASA administrator Jim Bridenstine lauded the achievement, saying the innovative aerospace firm and its partners are "increasing access to space."
In this issue of our newsletter, we're spotlighting the noteworthy launch, and turning an eye towards Detroit where General Motors is making massive investments in electrification that will create thousands of new jobs. Keep scrolling for more and we'll see you in a fortnight!

Next Stop – Low Earth Orbit
The last time an astronaut launched into space from American soil was July 2011. Since retiring its space shuttle, NASA has relied on Russian Soyuz rockets and spacecraft to transport crewmembers to and from the International Space Station. Enter NASA's Commercial Crew Program designed to restart American launches.
In 2014, NASA awarded Boeing and SpaceX contracts worth $4.2 billion and $2.6 billion, respectively, to bring their astronaut taxis, CST-100 Starliner and Crew Dragon, to market.
With the success of the recent in-flight abort test, SpaceX is set to begin ferrying astronauts this spring. The NASA contract calls for the company to fly six such flights with Crew Dragon and the Falcon 9 rocket.
Boeing, however, suffered a well-publicized setback last December when its Starliner vehicle got stuck in an orbit too low to allow it to dock with the ISS. Still, Starliner performed well during its time in space so NASA is still weighing whether its next flight will be a crewed mission to the ISS.
"We're on the cusp of commercializing low Earth orbit," NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine said during Sunday's news conference following SpaceX's successful test.
General Motors Ups Investment in Detroit/Electric Vehicles
The United States' biggest automaker by sales, General Motors, announced it's investing $2.2 billion into its Detroit-Hamtramck assembly plant to manufacture all-electric trucks in late 2021.
The facility will be GM’s first dedicated electric vehicle assembly plant. When fully operational, Detroit-Hamtramck will support more than 2,200 jobs. It currently employs 900 people who build the Cadillac CT6 and the Chevrolet Impala.
GM also plans to produce its recently unveiled self-driving shuttle designed for ridesharing, Cruise Origin, at the plant. And the automaker is investing an additional $800 million in supplier tooling and other projects related to its forthcoming all-electric trucks portfolio.
The announcement follows news that GM is partnering with LG Chem to mass produce battery cells for its electric vehicles. The two companies will invest up to $2.3 billion to establish a battery cell assembly plant on a manufacturing site in the Lordstown area of Northeast Ohio.
The battery cells venture will create more than 1,100 new jobs. In the meantime, GM will idle the Detroit-Hamtramck plant for several months, starting at the end of February, to transform it for its all-electric operations.

An Indonesian passenger plane carrying 62 people lost contact with air traffic controllers shortly after takeoff from the nation's capital of Jakarta on Saturday, according to state transportation officials.
The Ministry of Transportation confirmed that airport authorities lost contact with the plane, Sriwijaya Air Flight 182, at approximately 2:40 p.m. local time. The plane, a Boeing 737-500, had taken off from Jakarta less than an hour earlier bound for the city of Pontianak on Indonesia's Borneo island. Typically, it's a flight that is around 90 minutes long.
About four minutes after takeoff, the plane lost more than 10,000 feet of altitude in less than a minute, according to the flight tracking site Flightradar24. The state-run Antara news agency said the plane had been climbing to an altitude of 13,000 feet before it lost contact with air traffic controllers at a position less than 15 miles from Jakarta's Soekarno-Hatta International Airport.
The plane was carrying 56 passengers and six crew members, according to the Associated Press. In a statement to The New York Times, the airline said that management was "still communicating and investigating this matter and will immediately issue an official statement after obtaining the actual information."
A spokesman for the nation's transportation ministry said that a search and rescue operation was underway in coordination with the National Search and Rescue Agency and the National Transportation Safety Committee.

2019-01-24 11:11 Thursday
General Electric is badly in need of cash to fill a $20 billion funding gap. Reports indicate that GE will sell its $40 billion aviation leasing unit, GECAS, which is the world's top lessor by the number of aircraft. GECAS owns or services a fleet of nearly 2,000 aircraft, according to the company's website.
The rumored sale could raise considerable capital for cash-strapped GE. The iconic American industrial company has been questioned by Wall Street about its liquidity. Apollo Global Management LLC is working to line up financing to buy GE's jet-leasing unit.
As a jet engine manufacturer, GE has been remarkably successful in twin-aisle and single-aisle jets. Losing GECAS would weaken GE's ability to persuade jetmakers that it should enjoy exclusive rights on new programs, such as Boeing's long-awaited New Midsized Aircraft (NMA).
Selling GECAS won't immediately change GE's status as the world's biggest jet engine manufacturer, and it won't impact its ability to design and build remarkably efficient and reliable jet engines, but it does signify a weaker position for the company, offering tangible proof that GE's broader corporate problems are having an impact on the company's healthiest and most successful unit. It may take years to play out, but selling GECAS will damage GE's long-term standing in the aviation market.
To boost investor confidence, GE's management has sped up efforts to reduce debt by selling assets. In November, GE announced plans to expedite its sale of a $4 billion stake in the oil-field-services provider Baker Hughes. Additionally, its finance arm, GE Capital, sold a $1.5 billion healthcare-equipment to the US lender TIAA Bank. | aerospace |

He was here on Sunday to unveil the first Sikrosky S-92 helicopter cabin made in India by Tata Advance Systems (TASL).
For Tata Group, aerospace and defence are larger and newer areas. Going ahead, we hope that our aerospace and defence investments are centered in AP, particularly around Hyderabad. The current tie up with Sikrosky is the beginning, he said.
He said the late chief minister YS Rajasekhara Reddy had earlier offered Tata Motors land to set up a manufacturing plant for Nano. While the group had not accepted the offer then, it had made promises to make substantial investments in the state.
TASL has invested around 1,000 crore towards the manufacturing unit for Sikrosky cabins. The first cabin will be exported to the US by this month end. It is an important milestone for the company's plans in the aerospace industry. It reflects the determination, project execution and precision-manufacturing expertise that India as a nation possesses, Mr Tata added. Source: ET 8/11/10 | aerospace |

How Much Is That Worth?
Virgin Galactic’s SpaceshipTwo.
The stock of space-tourism and technology company Virgin Galactic is on an epic tear, leaving some value investors scratching their heads. Why is a company with, essentially, no sales worth billions? That question misses the point. Virgin Galactic has ambitions to become more than a space-tourism operator. It wants to bring hypersonic flight to the masses.
Start with the epic stock run. Shares have gained about 190% year to date and up more than 360% over the past three months, crushing the comparable returns of the S&P 500 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average. What’s more, Virgin Galactic (ticker: SPCE) warrants —issued by the company giving investors the right to buy a share for $11.50—are up more than 520% year to date and 1,370% over the past three months.
Investors must be really excited about space tourism. Galactic plans to take thrill-seekers up to the edge of space and back for about $250,000 per trip. The company said it has received more than 8,000 inquiries about its flights when it reported fourth-quarter numbers–its first quarterly report as a publicly traded company–Tuesday evening. Inquiries grew more than 100% since the end of 2019. A lot of people want to experience weightlessness.
That’s not all Virgin Galactic wants to be known for. “There is demand for higher speed flight,” Virgin Galactic CEO George Whitesides tells Barron’s. Whitesides is qualified to talk about high-speed flight. He’s was the chief of staff at NASA and a fellow at the U.K. Royal Aeronautical Society as well as a fellow of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics. What’s more, he’s a pilot certified parabolic flight coach.
(Investors shouldn’t feel sheepish if they don’t know what a parabolic flight coach does. Those are flights designed to simulate zero-gravity, or weightlessness. Barron’s had to look it up too.)
“We’ve been stuck at Mach 0.85 for a generation,” adds Whitesides. Mach is the engineering term for the speed of sound, about 767 miles per hour. Travelers once had higher speeds available to them via the iconic Concord jet. It cruised at more than 1,300 miles per hour, making it a supersonic flight. Hypersonic speeds are above Mach 5, more than 3,000 miles per hour.
“At those speeds, you need a hybrid engine,” explains Whitesides. In this case, he’s talking about combining turbine jet engines, which have, essentially, spinning parts, with ramjet engines, that use the forward motion of the plane to compress the air. It’s technically complex and one reason hypersonic travel is expensive.
But there are pockets of hypersonic development. Militaries around the globe are investing in hypersonic technology. That could be a source of business for Galactic, although there are no firm plans yet. And Galactic’s hypersonic technology could take a Tesla-like (TSLA) approach to the market, targeting high-net-worth individuals interested in higher speed flight. There is, after all, an existing market for multi-million dollar private jets.
Tesla initially sold $100,000-plus vehicles to rich automobile owners. The company has been cutting the costs of its models over time, and now offers some base models for less than $40,000.
None of the hypersonic sales in the future are assured. Hypersonic private jets aren’t on the near-term horizon, and Whitesides didn’t discuss how much a hypersonic jet program would cost to develop. But even commercial aerospace giant Boeing (BA) is interested in the technology. It has invested $20 million in Virgin Galactic. Galactic, while it remains an early-stage, pre-revenue company, has $480 million of cash on its balance sheet.
“Our work with Virgin Galactic, and others, will help unlock the future of space travel and high-speed mobility,” said Brian Schettler, senior managing director of Boeing HorizonX Ventures, in an earlier statement that Boeing referred Barron’s to. | aerospace |

This is done due to reduce trapped gas, decompression sickness & hypoxia which is a condition of insufficient oxygen. An aircraft flies in high altitudes because it consumes less fuel due to low turbulence, it also does so because of as said to avoid turbulence, storms and bad weather. it is therefore necessary deemed that all aircraft be pressurized.
Pressurization is drawn from engine power i.e in piston engines it is derived from turbochargers, superchargers, engine driven air pumps while in jet engines it is derived from engine bleed air from the compressor.
while the cabin is pressurized it is necessary to regulate, control the pressure and temperature this is done by :-
- heat exchanger – used to cool hot pressurized air to workable temperature.
- safety valve – prevents cabin over pressurization by opening automatically at a determined pressure.
- Outflow valve – regulates the amount of pressurized air that exits the cabin.
- negative pressure relief valve – Prevents cabin pressure from going lower than that of the ambient air.
- Dump valve – Releases all pressurized cabin air on aircraft landing.
Aircraft pressurization is a matter of seriousness, a lot of accidents have happened due to lack of pressurization in the cabin for instant if the pilot and co-pilot were to pass out due to lack of oxygen it would be catastrophic. it is capable of killing every passenger on flight due to hypoxia,trapped gas and decompression sickness.
Excessive or lack of enough pressure can also cause damage to aircraft fuselage. The aircraft windows are designed to never be opened well except the D.V window i.e direct vision window which is used by the pilot to land the plane in-case of obscurity in wind screen. it can also be used as an exit for emergency. All this is done to maintain pressurization in the aircraft. | aerospace |

Tritec specified, designed and installed the control system for the automation of the jigs for the Typhoon (Eurofighter) front fuselage assembly. The project was carried out at the BAe Systems Samlesbury production site as part of Hyde Group, a consortium of engineering companies.
Feasibility and Concept Design
The project involved meetings with the customer to offer several solutions and to agree a final operational specification. Tritec then produced a specification document for the project, which was signed off by the customer.
Process Control Design and Build
The jig was designed to hold and turn the fuselage in various set orientations, allowing the operators access to all areas. Jig metalwork and other hardware was supplied by other members of the Hyde group; Tritec supplied the control system for this.
The control system design incorporated a Mitsubishi PLC located in a cabinet. This interfaced to servo-motor drives, proximity and interlock switches, an infra-red safety curtain, external lamps and sounder, and a control panel featuring buttons to select rotational positions and indicator LEDs.
Allowing access to all parts of the fuselage while ensuring operator safety involved many technical challenges when designing the movable jig interlocks operating in hazardous environments. Four separate safety interlocks were incorporated into the control system design.
Installation and Commissioning
Tritec helped install and commission a total of ten control panels and movable jigs over a five month period.
Tritec also provided operations training for engineers using the system, and maintenance training for BAe Systems maintenance engineers. Full documentation was provided, including operations manuals, maintenance manuals and wiring diagrams. | aerospace |

As he grew up, he would frequently visit the Los Angeles International airport and watch the gigantic jets fly overhead. In the city of Los Angeles, the aircraft can fly quite low as they take off and land. As Jeffrey grew up he furthered his flying passion, obtaining his own pilots license at the young age of 17.[see_also]
Now an adult and a professional photographer, Jeffrey is taking photos of the aircraft he sees flying overhead. As they fly over, he captures a shot from directly below – a revealing look at the shape and detailing on the belly of the many different aircraft. The project is called “Aircraft: The Jet as Art” and he has exhibited the series in such institutions as the National Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C. and at the Bau-Xi Gallery in Toronto, Canada. Regarding his series, Jeffrey says:
“They are an attempt to share my sense of wonder. Watching a mammoth Boeing 747 gracefully gliding overhead on the way to touch down never ceases to amaze me, but they are also a meditation on how technology can be a double-edged sword when things go wrong.”

These are the voyages of some enterprising starships. Their continuing mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly GoPro where no man has gone before.
Fueled by shows and movies like the afore-quoted Star Trek, footage of true space exploration is one of the most thrilling things we can see. The sense of cosmononplussation that comes from seeing that pale blue dot at a distance is truly stupendous and can render us speechless.
A video of it is worth a million words, and a popular way to capture space footage is the GoPro. Since the camera first came on the scene, it's been sent up to space attached to weather balloons, accompanied stuffed creatures and plastic spaceships, strapped to space jumpers, and even accompanied some real-live astronauts for a walk around the outside of the International Space Station.
Just a few days ago, SpaceX released footage of the descent of its Falcon 9 rocket that was captured by none other than a GoPro. Check out the slideshow for this and five other stunning videos of Earth and its environs. | aerospace |

Sponsor: ARL (Ed Measure)
Collaborators: Jim Paduano (Aurora Flight Sciences)
Sensing relative wind and inferring the aerodynamic state of primary lifting surfaces provides the feedback necessary for very fast reactions which adjust wing surface shape, incidence, and flapping parameters. In nature, this reaction can be hard-wired into the nervous system in which signals are routed directly to muscles to reduce delays.
This approach yields aerodynamic force management unparalleled in current autonomous aerial systems. In this project, we are investigating biologically inspired distributed airflow sensing and the underlying processing required to extract robust information.
The goal is to improve disturbance rejection capabilities and lift control, enabling operation in complex environments requiring high maneuverability and all-weather operability. | aerospace |

About Our Management Team
John McDermott- Editor-In-Chief/Head of Aeronautics Americas
My name is John McDermott, and I’m currently a student from Chicago, Illinois. For as long as I can remember, I’ve been fascinated with how things work. Things as simple as a faucet to as complex as the human body and cars fascinate me. It was this love of machines that led to my love of aviation. I’ve been around planes all my life; one of my earliest memories is putting a domed lit on by face to imitate the nose of planes. And, after hearing about Aeronautics from Nick, I decided to share my passion for flying with others and apply to become a writer. Flying has become such a big part of my life in the last couple years that my friends consider it to be insanely annoying. Whenever someone I know flies, I’m always sure to find out the type of aircraft they flew on, which airline they flew with, and how their flight went. I’ve gone so far as to give my family members lessons about the mechanics of airplanes during a flight. I’m absolutely fascinated with how planes work, and my greatest hope is to, one day, be up on the flight deck of a commercial airliner. This being the case, I have much to talk about with whoever comes to me with a passion for planes.
With Aeronautics, I hope to learn even more about the airline industry and share my love of flying with others through images, articles, and quizzes.

David Xian- Founder/Editor
My name is David Xian and I am currently a high school student on Long Island, New York. I have been captivated by aviation since youth and hope to work in the aviation industry in the future.
My main goal with this page is to create an aviation and travel news site sourced mainly by young aviation enthusiasts. Unlike any other aviation news websites, Aeronautics nurtures an exclusive atmosphere where anybody with an interest in our three topics: Industry Talk, Flyer Talk, and Traveler Talk are encouraged to write for us.
One thing I learned working in the industry and would like every young reader to know is the importance of building connections early. Like many other industries, the aviation industry is very tight-knit. I can personally attest that it is very common to meet someone in this industry who recognizes or is (surprisingly often) close with other people you know in the industry. As the aviation industry has doubled in size over the past decade and is projected to continue growing at this incredible rate, getting one’s foot in the door early on grows exceedingly important for attaining a job in aviation.
I hope to use Aeronautics to help youth connect with aviation jobs by hosting career exploration events around the world, having adults write about their experiences in the industry, and helping students build connections to fellow young enthusiasts and future employers.
Feel free to drop me a message with any questions or comments anytime at email@example.com or my Instagram page @lufanhansa.

Hello, my name is Akshay Mantri and I’m a student pilot & an aviation photographer from Mumbai, India. Becoming a pilot was something I had as my goal since I was a child and this brought me close to this field of plane spotting. I started photographing airplanes in 2014, and ever since I’ve never looked back! There isn’t enough information or knowledge about the Indian Aviation being provided out to the world, to provide at least a bit of it and show them the reality, I started an Instagram account dedicated to aviation & my plane spotting. Also, I’m proud to say that I’ve influenced and motivated many new plane spotters from Mumbai to open up and share their experiences and photos! Aeronautics has been a perfect pathway for me. The place through which I can reach many new people and share with them the best of my experiences and information! You can check out my Instagram account @planespottinghd.

My name is Federico Meraviglia and I am student and photographer in Milan, northern Italy. I became involved in aviation when I was a child, thanks to one my old uncles who was a pilot and Italian Air Force general; he filled my childhood up with fascinating stories of his planes and his missions abroad. I spent so many hours listening to him and imagining myself as a pilot.
In 2015 I started taking photos at nearby Milan Linate and Milan Malpensa airports, in Nice Cote d’Azur airport during holidays and in other airports too during my trips through Europe.
My goal is to attend aerospace and then aeronautic engineering at the university. Recently I started an Instagram page where I share my best photos and where I met many interesting and inspiring people, some of them have become real friends.
I’m really interested in joining Aeronautics community in order to grow my knowledge of aviation and to get to know other people all around the world. If you are interested in my photos you can find me on instagram as @fm_aviationph

My name is Max and I have been an aviation enthusiast for 8 years. Throughout my grade school years, I have developed my understanding of flight and the industry, and am fascinated by the manpower behind it all. My goal for this site is to allow readers and fellow aviation enthusiasts to meet and learn something about the industry we love. Whether that be breaking news or op-eds, I can guarantee Aeronautics is a great place to learn something new.
My name is Alexander Zur. I’m a student who is currently living in northern Germany near Hamburg. As a small child I drew a lot of airplanes, but I never knew what type of aircraft it was. That’s why I got a large book with 1000 Airplanes From All Over the World. Since then, aviation became my passion and I started professional planespotting in 2014, as photography was another interest of mine.
Thanks to the hobby, I’ve met many new people sharing the same passion as me. I have travelled to many different airports. Some are well-known, LHR and JFK, but some aren’t, like Keflavik or Sonderborg. My favorite airport for planespotting and traveling is Hamburg Airport, as we have some exotic visitors from Lufthansa Technik and nice positions for taking pictures. Another great airport nearby is Hamburg-Finkenwerder, an Airbus plant, where you can see brand new airplanes from many different nations worldwide, like from Hawaii, China, Colombia or Saudi-Arabia, as well as European carriers and the heavy transporter Beluga. It never gets boring up here. Furthermore I support the Planespotters.net website as a screener and upload my pictures on many different aviation websites.
I’m currently studying business with hopes to become a businessman for freight forwarding and logistics service.

After the collision of these two moons the moon we see now is formed, that's why our moon has one thicker surface side and other is thinner. You can find out that here in this article.
Recently NASA has found out that a new asteroid named "2016 HO3". This new asteroid orbits around the Sun and Earth as well. It is at quite far distance from the earth but is earth's companion for a long time and can be termed as "quasi-satellite".
There was one more asteroid called 2003YN107 had similar orbit like this asteroid but it got lost in the vicinity of the earth. This asteroid was discovered in 2003 and came into Earth's vicinity in 1999. In 2006 it regained another orbit going out of earth's vicinity. It will come back again in 60 years and in around 600 years it will be earth's quasi satellite.
The new asteroid "2016 HO3" has been around earth since a century and it is locked up on earth and it will stay in the same orbit for a century. "The asteroid's loops around Earth drift a little ahead or behind from year to year, but when they drift too far forward or backward, Earth's gravity is just strong enough to reverse the drift and hold onto the asteroid so that it never wanders farther away than about 100 times the distance of the moon," said Chodas (NASA JPL).
It was found on 27 April 2016, by the Pan-STARRS 1 asteroid survey telescope Haleakala, Hawaii,operated by the University of Hawaii's Institute for Astronomy . | aerospace |

Germany’s Lufthansa airline is planning to operate a new route to Moldova. The new flight will be introduced in their next summer schedule which starts on March 31, 2013 and operates on the same route as the current Munich-Chisinau-Munich one.
The new flight will depart early in the morning at 6:50 AM from Chisinau International Airport and will arrive at Munich Airport at 8:05 AM local time. The second flight will operate as usual – departing from Moldova at 1:00 PM and getting to the destination at 2:15 PM.
Lufthansa airline officials said that the flight in the afternoon will provide connections to flights going to the Asia-Pacific region, whereas the morning flight will establish connections with flights heading to North America and other European countries.
“This will enable us to provide excellent connectivity to our extensive flight network to North America and within Europe,” Klaus Gorny, manager of Deutsche Lufthansa AG told Moldova.ORG. “Munich is our second largest hub and one of the most modern and efficient ones in Europe.”
He said that Lufthansa has no plans in the near future to operate new flights from any other German airports to Moldova.
So far, only two airlines operate connections between Moldova and Germany - Lufthansa (Munich) and Air Moldova (Frankfurt am Main). | aerospace |

In this issue, we will talk about one of the most important components to a jet fighter, its RADAR. Nearly every aircraft utilizes RADAR, and for reasons beyond just the targeting of aircraft. In the video below, James May, one of the presenters of BBC’s Top Gear, gives a little history and illustrates why and how RADAR works.
How Does RADAR Work
As May explains, RADAR, which stands for Radio Detection And Ranging, was first used on a cruise ship in the 1930s. It was during WWII that the U.S., Britain, Germany, and the Soviet Union put RADAR to work for military defense to detect ships and aircraft. It was the RADAR that helped Britain win the Battle of Britain by early detection of approaching German aircraft.
Today, a RADAR system like the APG-68 in an F-16 Fighting Falcon provides the pilot many functions. These include weapons fire control, weather detection, electronic counter-countermeasures (ECCM), Ground Moving Target Indicator (GMTI), and tracking objects on land, sea, and air. RADAR systems are designed to look above and forward of its position and identify and target an object below it, even with a lot of ground clutter. RADAR has the ability to see well over the horizon so a pilot can engage another aircraft Beyond Visual Range (BVR).
We hope you enjoy this week’s Jet Friday video, “How does RADAR work?” Have a great Friday! See all our Jet Friday posts. | aerospace |

https://shackelford.law/news-aviation/ntsb-affirms-suspension-of-airmans-atp-certificate-for-operation-of-aircraft-after-prop-strike/ | 2023-11-30T20:47:40 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100232.63/warc/CC-MAIN-20231130193829-20231130223829-00345.warc.gz | 0.967847 | 1,093 | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2023-50__0__165550149 | en | The NTSB recently rejected both an airman’s and the FAA’s appeals and affirmed an administrative law judge’s (“ALJ”) decision suspending the airman’s airline transport (“ATP”) certificate for 100 days. The case, Administrator v. Hackshaw, arose from an incident in which the airman was operating a C-402B on a flight from George Charles Airport in St. Lucia to an initial destination of E.T. Joshua Airport in St. Vincent. During approach, the aircraft displayed an intermittent green light for the right main landing gear. As the airman attempted to land, the right main landing gear began to collapse and the right propeller came in contact with the runway. In response, the airman applied power and performed a go-around. However, rather than attempting to troubleshoot the gear problem (e.g. perform a manual gear extension) and attempt another landing at E.T Joshua, the airman proceeded to fly to Hewanorra Airport in St. Lucia, which required him to fly 23 nautical miles over the ocean.
At Hewanorra Airport, the airman performed a manual gear extension and successfully landed the aircraft without further incident. The aircraft owner, who also happened to be an airframe and powerplant mechanic (“A&P”), inspected the right propeller and also installed a lock securing the gear in the down and locked position. The A&P then told the airman that the aircraft was “airworthy” and “fit to fly” and the airman flew the aircraft back to George Charles Airport.
When the FAA learned of the incident, it issued an order suspending the airman’s ATP certificate for 180 days based upon alleged violations of FARs 91.7(a) and (b) (prohibiting operation of an unairworthy aircraft), 91.13(a) (careless and reckless), and 91.703(a)(2) and (3) (failure to comply with regulations of foreign country in which aircraft is operated). The airman appealed the order to the NTSB and, after a hearing, the ALJ determined that the FAA’s witnesses were more credible and proved that the airman should have declared an emergency and landed the aircraft at E.T. Joshua without making any further flights in the unairworthy aircraft. As a result, the ALJ concluded that the airman’s conduct in flying the aircraft to Hewanorra and George Charles after the prop-strike violated the regulations as alleged. However, the ALJ reduced the 180 day suspension sought by the FAA to 100 days based upon the airman’s reliance upon the statements by the aircraft owner/A&P. Both the airman and the FAA then appealed the ALJ’s decision to the full Board.
On appeal, the airman argued that the case should have been dismissed because (1) the FAA lacked jurisdiction since the events occurred outside the United States; (2) the FAA’s complaint was stale under the Board’s Stale Complaint Rule, 49 C.F.R. § 821.33; and (3) the FAA was equitably estopped from taking action because the airman successfully completed a re-examination. The Board rejected each of the airman’s arguments. It determined that the FAA had jurisdiction to take action against the airman’s FAA issued certificates by virtue of FAR 91.703 and had served its notice of proposed certificate action upon the airman within 6 months of the incident as required. The Board also concluded that “a successful completion of a re-examination is a separate issue from an enforcement action based on a respondent’s conduct prior to the reexamination” and did not preclude the FAA from taking action against the airman.
The FAA’s appeal focused on the ALJ’s reduction of sanction and argued that the ALJ “exceeded his authority in lowering the sanction, because he did not find that the Administrator’s sanction was arbitrary, capricious, or otherwise not in accordance with law.” The FAA also asserted that the sanction reduction was inconsistent with Board precedent. Noting that the FAA did not submit the Sanction Guidance Table into evidence at the hearing and did not explain the computation of, and reasoning for, the sanction until the FAA filed its appeal brief, the Board concluded that the ALJ properly reduced the sanction based upon his findings that mitigating circumstances were present.
What can we learn from this case? First, although the airman’s arguments for dismissal sounded good, existing case law and precedent were clearly inconsistent with those arguments. Second, the FAA’s appeal likely would have been granted if the FAA had properly presented and substantiated its request for sanction at the hearing. The Board wouldn’t hesitate to defer to the FAA’s sanction request if the record included the Sanction Guidance Table and a proper explanation of the basis for the sanction, other than “hey, the airman violated the regulations.” In this case, the airman received the benefit of the FAA’s mistake. That will not always be the case. | aerospace |

If you have anything to do with Naval Aviation, you should be thankful for this:
epecially in light of the way things used to be:
From the Washington Post:
Daniel Weitzenfeld, 90; Navy Innovator
Tuesday, May 13, 2008; Page B08
Daniel Kehr Weitzenfeld, 90, a retired Navy rear admiral who was involved with the “angled deck” innovation on U.S. aircraft carriers, died of cardiopulmonary failure at the Jefferson, a retirement community in Arlington County. He was a former McLean resident.
He served aboard the cruiser Boise and the destroyer Craven before receiving his wings in 1942. He served with a bombing squadron in World War II and the Korean War.
As assistant director of the Ship Installations Division for the Navy’s Bureau of Aeronautics in the early 1950s, he helped with implementing the angled deck, a Royal Navy innovation that accommodated the higher landing speeds of jets. The configuration, also known as the “skewed deck,” allowed for simultaneous launch and recovery.
Although the British received credit for the angled deck, Adm. Weitzenfeld claimed in a 2000 letter to the editor of Smithsonian Air & Space magazine that “the British had absolutely nothing to do with the American aircraft carriers’ angled deck! Nothing!”
Adm. Weitzenfeld recalled that he persuaded his boss to allow him to paint an angled deck on the aircraft carrier Midway and had an air group make touch-and-go landings. “The fleet pilots indicated that the flying and landing part was outstanding,” he said.
This too – especially for those familiar with the foibles of the hydraulic cats:
Adm. Weitzenfeld also was involved with the introduction of the steam catapult on aircraft carriers…
Those two improvements are credited, in no small measure, with the substantial reduction in the mishap rate during the late 50’s/early 60’s (along with other changes like the NATOPS program). So if you wear (or have worn) wings of gold and count your experience by number of traps, hoist one in memory and recognition of Dan Weitzenfeld’s contribution to ensuring your lengthened lifespan… | aerospace |

In order to increase collaboration of domestic institutions in the field of Space Sciences, the National Institute of Aeronautics and Space (LAPAN) is holding a Flight and Space Cooperation Exposure. The event for Signing Ceremony of the Memorandum of Understanding was held at the Grand Mercure Hotel Kemayoran, Jakarta, Friday, 27 September 2019.
According to the Head of LAPAN, Thomas Djamaluddin, this event was very important in the efforts to realize the vision of LAPAN to become a Center for Excellence in Space Science, Atmospheric Science and Technology Center, a leading center of science and technology in aviation, and a center of excellence in satellite technology in order to bring Indonesia forward and gain more independence in the field of space.
“We want to move further, with stronger basic values such as innovation and collaboration. We hope this event will become a gathering place for mutual use of resources in each institution for an independent and developed Indonesia,” said Thomas.
PT DAHANA (Persero) has been collaborating with LAPAN in making rockets under the National Defense Rocket consortium with the Ministry of Defense, Ministry of Research and Technology, PT Dirgantara Indonesia and PT Pindad. Some of collaboration products include Rocket Rhan 122 B and Rocket 450. In addition to rockets, DAHANA and LAPAN have also collaborated in research and technology.
“DAHANA and LAPAN have been collaborating since 2012. DAHANA once sent its Human Resources to study on rockets at LAPAN. But there is a unique story there, our employees stayed at the hotel instead of LAPAN housing facility as they thought there were space creatures staying at the housing facility,” said Wildan Widarman, Director of Technology & Development of PT DAHANA (Persero) jokingly when asked for testimony by LAPAN.
According to Wildan, DAHANA and LAPAN were born from the same womb, namely Indonesian Airforce. Therefore, a warm collaboration between DAHANA and LAPAN is needed, especially in term of propellant manufactur. LAPAN has so far mastered technological knowledge about propellant and DAHANA will prepare its mass industry.
“Under this good cooperation, hopefully we can realize the ideals of our predecessors, namely Indonesia that is self-sufficient in rocket, a strong and independent country,” Wildan Widarman hopes.
PT DAHANA (Persero) with the National Aeronautics and Space Agency (LAPAN) signed a Memorandum of Understanding on Research, Development, Engineering and Utilization of Rocket Technology. After that, Thomas and Wildan exchanged souvenirs, DAHANA gave a miniature of DAHANA Mobile Manufacturing Truck (MMT) to LAPAN. | aerospace |

The iconic museum on the National Mall officially reopened its doors Friday after closing down in 2018 as part of a $1 billion renovation project.
This marks a major milestone, though work is still underway. Only the museum’s west wing is back open, as construction on the east wing is not slated to wrap up until 2025.
Still, there’s plenty of reason to visit now. The Smithsonian unveiled eight entirely new exhibits Friday as part of this first phase of welcoming guests back, and there are improvements to other parts of the building as well. For instance, visitors will be able to enjoy new technological improvements at the building’s planetarium immediately.
The museum is ready, the exhibitions are complete, the artifacts are waiting to be seen.
It’s opening day at the National Air and Space Museum. We’re so excited to welcome you in and show you what we’ve been working on. pic.twitter.com/o89BwYxwwb
— National Air and Space Museum (@airandspace) October 14, 2022
How to visit
If you’re hoping to visit in the near future, though, you may want to plan ahead. Anticipating strong demand, the museum is controlling crowd sizes with free, timed-entry passes available hourly from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. Passes are available online.
Checking the calendar, no passes were remaining for the first couple of weekends, but there’s plenty of availability during the week and from late October on.
On top of that, the museum is releasing same-day passes beginning at 8:30 a.m. each day.
“We are thrilled to finally unveil the first part of the newly renovated museum,” museum director Chris Browne said.

What you’ll see
Museumgoers can now get the chance to see both new artifacts and fan favorites.
Exhibits include the plane Jacqueline Cochran flew as the first woman to break the sound barrier in 1953; the Sharp DR 90 Nemesis air racer, known for being the most successful aircraft in air racing history; the Apollo 11 command module Columbia, used to help land humans on the Moon for the first time; Sean Tucker’s custom-built aerobatic biplane; and the 1903 Wright Flyer airplane.
“The Apollo 11 command module Columbia will be housed in a custom-designed, climate-controlled case as the centerpiece of the ‘Destination Moon’ exhibition alongside Neil Armstrong’s Apollo 11 spacesuit,” the museum said in a press release Aug. 2.
“The 1903 Wright Flyer will be displayed in a dynamic new environment that better tells the story of the invention of flying and its implication on world history.”
“Star Wars” movie fans will be especially excited to see the full-size X-Wing Starfighter from “The Rise of Skywalker” on display for the first time.

“Many years ago when I first moved to the area and visited the museum for the first time, I remember being particularly drawn to the Apollo 11 command module, which I’m really glad they kept,” TPG editor Christine Gallipeau said. “Since I grew up in Florida by the Kennedy Space Center, anything space shuttle- or rocket-themed is super interesting to me.”
AvGeeks, in particular, may be drawn to several of the displays unveiled later this year.
“America by Air” is an interactive exhibit examining the history of U.S. air transportation and how the experience of flying has changed over time. “Early Flight” uses artifacts — such as the Lilienthal Glider, 1909 Wright Military Flyer and the Bleriot XI — to explore what happened in aviation between the Wright brothers’ first flights in 1903 and the start of World War I in 1914.
If you are especially interested in the Wright brothers — who are known as the architects of the world’s first successful airplane — consider visiting a second exhibit on the duo. “The Wright Brothers and the Invention of the Aerial Age” features the return of the 1903 Wright Flyer, one of the museum’s most famous artifacts.

Space fans can enjoy the “Kenneth C. Griffin Exploring the Planets Gallery,” which is an exploratory exhibit of planets and moons, drawing on research from the museum’s Center for Earth and Planetary Studies.
“This is one of the most exciting times in the National Air and Space Museum’s history,” Browne said. “When we open the first reimagined galleries, we hope all visitors are inspired by artifacts on display for the first time, favorite icons of aerospace presented in new ways and diverse storytelling.”
Non-exhibit areas open
In addition to the eight new and renovated exhibitions, as mentioned, the museum has reopened the planetarium, complete with new screencast abilities, connecting the planetarium to others around the country. In addition to the museum store, Mars Cafe is also open.
Since 2018, the museum has been renovating all 23 exhibitions and presentation spaces. Crews have also been updating the exterior and making other repairs to the building. As renovations on the east end of the building continue, other parts of the museum — including additional galleries, the Imax theater and a new entrance set to be unveiled in 2024 — are expected to gradually reopen. The eastern side of the building will follow in 2025.
How to get to the museum
The National Air and Space Museum is located on the National Mall in the nation’s capital and is within walking distance of many other Smithsonian museums and D.C. monuments. While there is metered parking and parking lots available around the museum, finding a spot can often be a challenge and can be expensive. The museum recommends using Park Whiz to reserve a spot near the museum in advance.
The closest D.C. Metro station to the museum is L’Enfant Plaza, which is served by the system’s yellow, green, blue and silver lines.
While it will be a couple of years more before the entire National Air and Space Museum is open, this week’s reopening of the building’s west end is a major step for its fans, who can tour its exhibits for the first time since 2018.

Learning about two new aviation education efforts at EAA AirVenture 2012, we’re about to find out.
Zulu Flight Training, a subsidiary of Continental Motors, just opened in a mall in Spanish Fort, Alabama, not far from Mobile. Its partner in the program is Redbird Flight Simulations, which provides the latest in advanced, full-motion simulators. Whether pursuing their private pilot certificate or instrument or multiengine ratings, students will be introduced to—and practice—all key flight skills in the sim before getting into an airplane.
With ground and simulator school conveniently located, students are more likely to show up for lessons. “Our goal is to provide a consistent, structured and stress free environment at a set price to help people obtain their pilot’s license whether it is for a career or pleasure,” said Zulu Chairman Rhett Ross. That includes full disclosure of all course offerings and services to ensure that the curriculum or price never surprises students.
Zulu also offers proficiency training, and other pilot courses will be announced in the coming months, Ross said. As the pilot location proves itself and resolves inevitable kinks, Zulu will expand to other locations around the country. To help celebrate the 75th anniversary of the Piper Cub, Redbird simulated it with motion. It’s been awhile since I flew a Cub, but its response was spooky accurate. All it really needed to complete the simulation was a fan-blown slipstream through an open door.
To provide the complete educational benefit of simulator training, Redbird Flight Simulation, partnering with Bad Elf, King Schools, and Jeppesen, introduced Cygnus, which connects the student’s iPad electronic flight book (EFB), such as Jepp’s Mobile FliteDeck, ForeFlight’s Mobile Pro, or Garmin Pilot, to the simulator—and it’s simulated location. It works hand-in-hand with the Bad Elf’s new GPS Pro, a 66 channel WAAS compatible receiver.
At the light-sport aircraft end of the aviation spectrum, Flight Design USA has been focused on increasing the number of places where people can learn to fly. As of AirVenture, it has a network of 31 Flight Design Pilot Centers equipped with modern CT-series light-sport aircraft for training and rental. Each of them employs training materials that Gleim created specifically for Flight Design.
The network’s newest members include North Coast Air in Santa Rosa, California; Southwestern Aviation, outside of Bensen, Arizona (30 miles east of Tucson International); and Hampton Airfield in Northampton, New Hampshire, a unique full-service school whose fleet ranges from Cubs, Champs, and LSAs to a IFR-certified Cessna 172.
It will be interesting to follow both Zulu and the Flight Design efforts to see how well they are received. Certainly they will not immediately reverse the declining pilot population or solve all the challenges that face every flight school, but it’s a start that’s been a long time coming. –Scott | aerospace |

- HISTORY ASPECTS:
- The McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II is regarded as one of the most successful fighter designs of all time. It is a two-seat twinjet long-range supersonic interceptor and fighter-bomber originally developed for the United States Navy. With top speed more than twice the speed of sound, the F-4 established 16 speed, altitude, and time-to-climb records. An all-around performer, the F-4 Phantom was the first aircraft to be simultaneously used by the USAF, USN and USMC, while also serving in approximately 11 other countries.
- The Jolly Rogers have always displayed some of the most recognizable squadron markings in the world: sinister white skull-and-crossbones on all-black tails, named for flags flown by pirate ships about to attack. Fighter Squadron 84 (VF-84) adopted the Jolly Roger nickname in 1960. They flew the F-4 Phantom starting in 1964 until they were transitioned to the F-14's. | aerospace |

Army (EUSA) served as the Japan occupation force headquartered in Yokohama. It established a forward headquarters in Taegu (sometimes spelled Taegue), South Korea, on 9 July 1950.
On 13 July it assumed command of all U.S. forces in Korea and formed Headquarters, Eighth U.S. Army in Korea (EUSAK), to control all forces within the country.
EUSA assumed direct command of all R.O.K. forces on 17 July 1950 from UNC. EUSA thus became the operational command of all U.S., UN., and R.O.K. ground forces in Korea while Far East Command controlled supporting U.S. Army, Air Force, and Navy forces in the region.
Once the front was stabilized, an Advanced Headquarters, Eighth U.S. Army, was maintained in Sŏul while the Main Headquarters, Eighth U.S. Army, was in Taegu. Major U.S. formations and units assigned to EUSA and the dates of their assignment follow.
June 26, 1950
On 26 June the Eighth Army had just completed battalion-level training and had begun regiment-level training in its four infantry divisions. At this time two tactical air control parties (TACP's) were preparing for amphibious landing exercises scheduled at Camp McGill, Japan. The two TACP's (large enough for expansion into four TACP's if necessary), however, were special duty units, made up of individuals taken away from other primary duties, for FEAF had no assigned tactical control group for close support work with ground troops. For that matter, the USAF had only one such group, and it was located at Pope Air Force Base, North Carolina .
As of 26 June 1950 the Eighth Army was just completing battalion-level training. To expedite the mutual phases of this training, the Eighth Army and Fifth Air Force had exchanged liaison officers, and 16 out of 25 battalion tests conducted between March and May had included close-support (CAS) demonstrations under the direction of tactical air-control parties provided by the 620th Aircraft Control and Warning Squadron.
The provisional air-control parties had obtained some
beneficial experience, but for the most part these battalion demonstrations were
"canned" problems, conducted over well-known ranges and lacking realism to the
airmen who flew them. In many instances the lack of adequate bombing and gunnery
ranges convenient to Army posts in populous Japan forced the aircrews to
simulate their supporting strikes. | aerospace |

The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport (MOLIT, Minister: KIM Hyun-mee) demonstrated the use of delivery drones to carry packages of food at Sejong Lake Park, in an effort to proactively respond to the “new normal” of non-contact culture brought by the COVID-19 pandemic and prepare for the expansion of drone services in the post-COVID era.
* (Demonstration) Sejong Lake Park, 17:00 KST, September 19 (Sat), 2020
The demonstration, under the theme of “Safe Drones for Convenient Life“, took place without prior announcement to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and was conducted through spontaneous participation from the citizens who were visiting the Lake Park at the time.
Five drones were used in the demonstration. They were sent to two different areas: three drones flew 2.5km across the Geum River from Sejong City Hall to Sejong Lake Park; and two drones took off from the commercial district in Naseong-dong, flew 1.5km through high-rise buildings and landed at Sejong Lake Park. The drones delivered face masks, hand sanitizers, and food in an average of 10 minutes.
Saturday’s event validated the possibility of safely using drones in mid-to-long distance delivery services in urban areas, and also demonstrated applicable technologies, such as automated take-off and landing of multiple drones, waypoint flights, order and delivery confirmation on drone-only delivery apps*, and drone stations.
* Delivery apps developed for drone delivery services under the Drone Regulatory
The five drones used in the demonstration are multi-purpose drones made by Korean drone manufacturers with advanced technology. They include hydrogen fuel cell drones suitable for long flights, as well as drones used in logistics, port surveillance, and infrastructure inspection and monitoring.
* (Participating Companies) DMI, XDRONE, P-Square, PNU DRONE
Drone delivery is an area where competition is fierce among global logistics powerhouses, such as Amazon and DHL, who are laying the foundation to secure their shares in the market, and Korea is also focusing on this newly emerging sector by advancing related technologies through diverse demonstration projects including the Drone Regulatory Sandbox.
However, as of now, drone delivery services do not have a competitive edge over the existing methods of land delivery such as courier services. Therefore, the current objectives for promoting the domestic drone delivery industry are to find a niche in the delivery market and identify and test specialized business models such as delivery services to remote and isolated areas.
Mr. JEONG Yong-sik, Director General for Aviation Policy of MOLIT, said “In order to promote the drone delivery industry, the government and businesses need to address many challenges including delivery to high-rise buildings, maximum payload limits, and inclement weather-related issues.”
“The government plans to provide multifaceted support so that drone delivery, as well as other drone services related to our everyday lives, would take root and grow soon.” | aerospace |

REPUBBLICANA” MESSERSCHMITT ME
Bf 109 G 6 NEAR THE GARDA LAKE
Last Saturday, October the 10h, 2015, the remains of a Messerschmitt Me Bf 109 G-6 fighter have been brought to light close to Desenzano del Garda, south of the Garda Lake, near Mantua.
The aircraft was shot down in aerial combat on April 19, 1945 by a P-51 of the 325th Fighter Group.
At about 11:40 on that day, 26 Messerschmitt Me Bf 109 G and K of the II° Gruppo Caccia ( 2nd Fighter Group) took off from Aviano A/D for a ferry flight to Villafranca A/D. Seven (7) of the fighters quickly developed engine trouble and were forced to abort mission, increasing suspicions of sabotage among the Italian airmen.
At the same time, 270 kilometers farther south, 16 P-51 Mustangs of the 317th FS / 325th FG rendezvoused with a formation of B-25s of the 340th BG directed to bomb a RR bridge at Ora, along the Brenner line.
At 12.30 the American bombers and fighters, after the bombing missions had been accomplished, made a wide turn on their return route and at the manwhile the leader of the Italian formation, Magg. Miani, was informed by the ground control that enemy bombers would be crossing his path.
The presence of enemy fighters was a matter of conjecture. Tactical conditions seemed favorable and Magg. Miani, although another Messerschmitt had just left the formation due to engine trouble, decided to attack.
Ten Messerschmitt dived to attack while nine were left as top cover.
But the unexpected appearance of the 16 P-51s caused chaos among the Italian airmen.
Conversely, the Americans' reaction was near automatic:
Eight P-51s were left as top cover and the other eight, led by 1st Lt. Schaefer, headed for the enemy fighters.
In the ensuing melee, the 325th FG claimed six enemy a/c as destroyed without loss.
Lt. W. B. Bagley shot down the Messerschmitt G-6 flown by Ten. Betti who bailed out successfully and the Me Bf 109 K-4 flown by Serg. Patton, which was developing engine trouble.
Serg. Patton abandoned his aircraft but was KIA.
Lt. F.M. Bolek destroyed the Me Bf 109 K-4 flown by Serg, Magg. Zanardi who bailed out to safety; this Messerschmitt, too, had its engine in bad conditions.
Lt. Schaefer shot down the Me Bf 109G-6 flown by Serg. Magg. Bianchini who bailed out.
Finally, Lt. Baldwin dispatched the Me Bf 109 G-6 flown by M.llo Covre, who successfully abandoned his personal mount.
The Italian lost five Messerschmitts and one pilot.
Thanks to old eyewitnesses of the aerial clash and to an article published in the local daily, the researchers have been able to locate the exact crash-point of one of the Messerschmitt.
A joint venture between the archaeological group EXPLORA and the group Air Crash Po led to two digging operations, the first one in August, 2015 and the second one last October, the 10th.
Several fragments, debris and pieces of the frontal section of the Messerschmitt were dug out but the operation had to be interrupted due to flooding.
It turned out that the plane was a Me Bf 109 G-6 but, as there are no info and data about the serials and codes of the three aircraft of that type shot down on that day, it is still impossible to determine who was the pilot aboard the plane.
Members of the expedition were:
Aldo Turra, Luca Ceriani, Gabriele Barraco, Luca Merli, Diego Vezzoli, Matteo Pietro Leoni,
Emanuele Pasquino, Lorenzo Prandoni. | aerospace |

The Prototype Development Laboratory (PDL) provided significant support during the development of the Plant Habitat EDU. The Plant Habitat will be a large growth chamber on-board the International Space Station to learn the effects of long-duration microgravity exposure to plants in space. It will be the first Kennedy-led space station payload of this magnitude. The PDL designed and fabricated the composite material growth chamber and fabricated many of the remaining components of the unit. The Lab also provided review and consultation on “design for manufacturability” to other engineers on the design team throughout the design process. The PDL was instrumental in resolving issues encountered during the fit check and assembly of the unit, including rework of the test stand and the Structural Mounting Assembly.

The moonburner burn was succesful and the thrust curve spot on according to Bursim simulations. At the end of the burn there seems some off-center thrust. Upon post firing inspection it was noticed that the liner, even at its thickest point with 3 overlapping PML phenolic tube parts, did suffer a burn through although the casing seems to look untouched at the inside. Furthermore the 2mm thick HTPB inhibitor coating at the top of the grain resembled charred paper. Because of the liner burn through and off-center thrust I doubt this will make it as flight motor.

They are on a mission to study the atmosphere, ocean, and terrestrial ecosystems to predict weather and assess environmental changes around the world.
These scientists use video to evaluate conditions around them such as the forms of nearby clouds and the earth surface below. The aircraft is outfitted with three video cameras. One faces forward from the cockpit; one looks out to the side through a window; and one points down to the earth. The video feeds are linked into scientists' workstations through Parallax video cards so the scientists can observe the cloud morphology and terrestrial environment while evaluating other data.
The scientists from the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) gather and analyze information in flights of two to 10 hours. The scientists are studying issues that affect us all: weather prediction, air pollution, ozone depletion, global warming, and other aspects of the global environment. And the data they gather is available to scientists all over the world.
Scientists at NCAR look at many kinds of quantitative data gathered in flight, including temperature, pressure, humidity, water content of clouds, ice particles, air turbulence, ozone, aerosols, and carbon dioxide. Video from the three cameras adds important data on what kinds of clouds are present and what type of terrain is below. "Scientists sitting in the back with the instruments need to see what's happening up front," says research scientist Darrel Baumgardner. "Video is helpful because of limited viewing windows inside the cabin." When scientists see an interesting condition, they can direct the pilot to fly through it to pick up more data and use flight time effectively.
Software engineer Gary Horton of NCAR used Parallax Graphics' software development tools to add live video to NCAR's existing workstation-based data display tool, WINDS (WINdow Display System). WINDS tracks real-time flight conditions, and the scientists needed live video to add a visual sense of the surrounding environment. Horton says, "The Video Development Environment was simple to use and well-documented. We're very pleased with the results."
Founded in 1960, NCAR supports worldwide research in meteorology, atmospheric and oceanic sciences, and the global environment. NCAR is based in Boulder, Colorado and has 850 employees. The National Science Foundation sponsors NCAR through a non-profit organization called the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR).
NCAR scientists plan to use TerraScan software to enhance and analyze captured video stills as well as satellite images. Scientists will be able to extract data from the video to evaluate the density of vegetation, conditions of polar ice packs, and reflective properties of clouds.
Scientists monitor data in real-time during the flight, but after the flight, they examine the data again more carefully. Right now, video is stored on VCR tape, so it is not linked directly to other data. Horton plans to add real-time digital video capture and playback to synchronize data of all types. Horton also plans to use Paradise Software's Uniflix to distribute video in-flight across the network of up to five or more workstations on the aircraft. And Baumgardner wants to set up a live satellite network link from the plane to the ground, to transmit video and other data.
"Incorporating video for science applications fits very naturally," says Horton. "It's of immense value in adding a visual dimension to the data gathering and analysis, and in facilitating research flight decision-making"

In 1946, the Navy Bureau of Ordnance stressed "the need for a rocket intelligence agency with one main responsibility - that of promoting rapid circulation of technical information to all activities concerned." The Navy partnered with Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) to establish this agency, named the Rocket Propellant Intelligence Agency (RPIA) and the Air Force participated by funding rocket research and development. In May of 1948, RPIA became the Solid Propellant Information Agency (SPIA). The Army endorsed the establishment of a solid propellant working group within the agency and SPIA became the first formal joint agency information exchange organization.
SPIA was the mechanism for fast exchange of technical information deemed to be of inestimable value to the Department of Defense (DoD) and the solid rocket community. APL was instrumental in improving and fostering the cooperative exchange of information between the Services. In 1962, DoD and NASA approved a charter to establish the Interagency Chemical Rocket Propulsion Group (ICRPG) to improve the effectiveness of information exchange activities. The ICRPG consolidated both solid and liquid propellant information centers into the Chemical Propulsion Information Agency (CPIA).
CPIA Tri-Service working groups promoted the exchange of technical information in specialized areas of solid, liquid, and related rocket propulsion where technical problems existed or standardized procedures were lacking. In 1964, CPIA became a DoD Information Analysis Center, still operated by APL, but now under contract with the Naval Sea Systems Command. The name of the ICRPG was changed to the Joint Army-Navy-NASA-Air Force (JANNAF) Interagency Propulsion Committee (IPC) in November 1969. In 1973, the JANNAF scope was expanded to include gun propulsion. Electric propulsion was subsequently added. Today, JANNAF continues to be the defining and unifying force behind rocket propulsion developments in the United States.
In 1990, JHU transitioned CPIAC from APL to the WSE. Entering its 26th year of operation under WSE, CPIAC, the Energetics Research Group (ERG), continues to provide technical and administrative support to JANNAF. The ERG remains the U.S. national resource for worldwide research; data; information; and analysis of energetics, explosives and chemical, electrical and nuclear propulsion for missile, space, and gun propulsion systems. | aerospace |

The workshops were run by the ESERO Romania deputy- manager, Cristina Stancu and the space consul of the region, Cornelia Melcu. The modules were related to STEM topics based on Space science for young students, life in space, train like an astronaut, launching a rocket, etc. and hand-on experiments suitable for young students.
The event on STEM Ahead competition map:
The teachers were really delighted to learn more about how to use STEM resources in their classes and projects and they were made some experiments and activities which they would use in their lessons.

Month after month, the company formally known as Space Exploration Technologies Corp. launches Falcon 9 rockets without incident. Most of these missions include their first stages flying themselves back to a landing pad or seaborne platform, a feat of routine reusability that eludes space agencies around the world.
Tuesday afternoon, however, SpaceX has something novel planned: a first launch of the Falcon Heavy, the most powerful rocket built in America since the Saturn V that sent NASA astronauts to the moon.
And because SpaceX is, in fact, run by the quirky fellow behind Tesla (TSLA), Solar City and the urban-tunneling experiment known as The Boring Company, the Falcon Heavy will loft an oddball payload: Musk’s own Tesla Roadster, with three cameras onboard to stream its trip to a solar orbit that will leave it cycling between Earth and Mars.
The privately-developed Falcon Heavy stands almost 230 feet tall and weighs almost 3.1 million pounds, with a first stage that looks like the Falcon 9 in triplicate: three boosters with nine engines each. Standing Monday afternoon at Launch Complex 39A — the site of most Saturn V and space shuttle launches — the Falcon Heavy gleamed in the sun, dwarfing technicians and visitors around its base.
Powered by kerosene and liquid oxygen, this rocket is designed to send a maximum of just over 70 tons to low earth orbit, about 29 tons to the geosynchronous orbit used by communications satellites, and roughly 19 tons to Mars.
That roughly doubles the payload of the Delta IV Heavy built and launched by United Space Alliance, the joint venture of Boeing (BA) and Lockheed Martin (LMT) that had a lock on the U.S. launch market before SpaceX.
The Falcon Heavy’s payload advantage will shrink if the first-stage boosters perform a powered landing for refurbishment and reuse, as is the plan for Tuesday’s launch. But SpaceX wasn’t ready Monday to say by how much.
Musk was, however, ready to call reusability the key to its $90 million list price for a Falcon Heavy launch, compared to $62 million for a Falcon 9. In a teleconference Monday afternoon, he called reusability a competitive advantage that would mean “game over” for competing heavy-lift rockets.
The Saturn V could lift still more, at 130 tons, and so will NASA’s upcoming Space Launch System: 77 tons in its first version and 143 tons in a “Block 2” model. But the older rocket last flew in 1973, while the future, shuttle-derived rocket now looks like it won’t fly until 2020.
A shrinking set of missions
Those delays have given the Falcon 9 time to evolve into a more powerful and capable launch vehicle through a series of engine upgrades.
This steady improvement has helped the Falcon 9 and SpaceX’s Dragon capsule become NASA’s primary cargo system for the International Space Station. Either later this year or early next, the Falcon 9 also has a chance to carry the first astronauts launched from American soil since the STS-135 mission closed out the shuttle program in 2011.
(SpaceX and Boeing each won NASA contracts in 2014 to transport astronauts to the ISS and end NASA’s dependence on Russian Soyuz rockets and capsules for crew transportation — a lock-in that’s gotten increasingly expensive since 2011.)
In the teleconference, Musk said he would no longer pursue earlier plans to use the Falcon Heavy to send crewed capsules to the Moon or Mars. Instead, he said those missions would go to a much larger vehicle in development called the BFR, short for “Big Falcon Rocket.”
With many commercial satellites now within the Falcon 9’s capabilities, Ars Technica space writer Eric Berger suggested a more viable specialty for the Heavy: sending larger NASA probes to the planets.
A rough road leads to the stars
First, though, the Falcon Heavy has to lift off, clear the tower and send its second stage and four-wheeled cargo beyond Earth orbit, preferably with successful landings of all three first-stage boosters.
SpaceX’s own history offers plenty of reasons for caution. Its early, small Falcon 1 rocket failed three times in a row before reaching orbit successfully on the fourth try. In June of 2015, one Falcon 9 exploded barely two minutes after liftoff; in September of 2016, another blew up on the launch pad while being loaded with fuel, destroying a satellite that Facebook (FB) planned to use to deliver internet access across Africa.
And SpaceX’s early failures at landing Falcon 9 first stages yielded enough footage for an excellent bloopers reel.
Monday afternoon, Musk pronounced himself not “super stressed out” about the Falcon Heavy’s debut but set his expectations low.
“I would be happy if it just clears the pad and doesn’t blow the pad to smithereens,” he said during the teleconference. “It’s guaranteed to be exciting, one way or another.”

The campus was on the site of a former RAF airfield and I was studying Bio-Aeronautics with the International Centre for the Application of Pesticides (ICAP) attached to the College of Aeronautics.
As part of the course we got several hours flying tuition in the College Pup training aircraft and we also had some aerodynamic lessons in the two Jetstream flying classrooms flown by either Angus McVitie or Ron Wingrove.
College Jetstream 1 (G-AXUI and G-AXUM behind)
I’ve always been an aviation enthusiast and it was great being on an active airfield. I spent lots (probably too much) time walking around the airfield taking pictures of the many and varied aircraft that were based there or passing through.
I undertook additional flying lessons to get my PPL and I also helped out with a team that restored vintage aeroplanes. I helped with a Spitfire, Harvard, DC3, Ju52, Miles Student, and Venoms amongst others. I was lucky enough to get flights in a De Havilland Dove, Beagle Auster Terrier, and in a De Havilland Vampire I flew in the right-hand seat during a display at the Barton Air show in my hometown of Manchester.
On one occasion, 21 February 1984 to be exact (I sadly have a passenger log book with all the flights I have ever been on) I was stood with fellow student Pete Thomas on the corner of the College of Aeronautics main hangar between lectures. The college Jetstream G-AXUI pulled onto the peri-track taxying to (at that time) runway 24. We could see the famous Angus McVitie in the pilot’s seat.
We nonchalantly stuck out our thumbs as hitch hikers used to do on motorways. Expecting the plane to carry on by, to our surprise the two engines whined noisily as Angus throttled them back, the nose dipped as he applied the brakes, the door at the back complete with access steps swung open and hand beckoned us aboard. Joy-o-joy.
It wasn’t because Angus had recognised us, because he probably didn’t, and it wasn’t some altruistic gesture because he felt sorry for us. Basically, it was a class of aeronautics students who were doing a lesson on the flight envelope of the Jetstream and they needed additional weight to show the effect at the extremes of performance.
The flight was well over an hour, and Angus had the aircraft in some extreme positions and engine settings. Me and Pete loved it but not many of the others did. Several of them disembarked with their less than complete notes but full sick bags. We of course missed our next lecture and no doubt made some lame excuse as to why.
Pete eventually became a Royal Navy pilot, he once returned to Cranfield in a Seaking and took a group of Cranfield students out to an aircraft carrier for the day as a recruiting exercise. That would have been a great trip too.

The Space Liner can be unlocked for purchase by X-COM using savegame editors. However, the vehicle is too big, too fast and too unwieldy to be useful. A canny player could use Apoc'd to apply the Annihilator's equipment layout to the Space Liner, which will properly represent its capacity to mount numerous Cargo Modules as well as heavy weapons to fend off threats in space. However, the Space Liner's purchase price renders this pointless; it takes a staunch heart to watch half a million dollars go up in flames.

- Ends greater than 5 many years of economic output
- Nearly bankrupted Boeing, earlier than changing into a money cow
- Easy to fly, says rock star-pilot Bruce Dickinson
SEATTLE/PARIS, Jan 29 (Reuters) – Boeing’s (BA.N) 747, the original and arguably most aesthetic “Jumbo Jet”, revolutionized air journey solely to see its greater than five-decade reign as “Queen of the Skies” ended by extra environment friendly twinjet planes.
The final business Boeing jumbo might be delivered to Atlas Air (AAWW.O) in the surviving freighter model on Tuesday, 53 years after the 747’s immediately recognizable humped silhouette grabbed world consideration as a Pan Am passenger jet.
“On the floor it is stately, it is imposing,” mentioned Bruce Dickinson, the lead singer of Iron Maiden who piloted a specifically liveried 747 nicknamed “Ed Force One” throughout the British heavy metallic band’s tour in 2016.
“And in the air it is surprisingly agile. For this huge airplane, you possibly can actually chuck it round if you need to.”
Designed in the late Nineteen Sixties to satisfy demand for mass journey, the world’s first twin-aisle extensive physique jetliner’s nostril and higher deck grew to become the world’s most luxurious membership above the clouds.
But it was in the seemingly countless rows at the again of the new jumbo that the 747 reworked journey.
“This was THE airplane that launched flying for the center class in the U.S.,” mentioned Air France-KLM CEO Ben Smith.
“Prior to the 747 your common household could not fly from the U.S. to Europe affordably,” Smith instructed Reuters.
The jumbo additionally made its mark on world affairs, symbolising battle and peace, from America’s “Doomsday Plane” nuclear command submit to papal visits on chartered 747s nicknamed Shepherd One.
Now, two beforehand delivered 747s are being fitted to interchange U.S. presidential jets identified globally as Air Force One.
As a Pan Am flight attendant, Linda Freier served passengers starting from Michael Jackson to Mother Teresa.
“It was an unimaginable range of passengers. People who have been effectively dressed and individuals who had little or no and spent every little thing they’d on that ticket,” Freier mentioned.
When the first 747 took off from New York on Jan 22, 1970, after a delay because of an engine glitch, it greater than doubled aircraft capability to 350-400 seats, in flip reshaping airport design.
“It was the plane for the individuals, the one that basically delivered the functionality to be a mass market,” aviation historian Max Kingsley-Jones mentioned.
“It was transformational throughout all facets of the trade,” the senior marketing consultant at Ascend by Cirium added.
Its start turn into the stuff of aviation fable.
Pan Am founder Juan Trippe sought to chop prices by growing the variety of seats. On a fishing journey, he challenged Boeing President William Allen to make one thing dwarfing the 707.
Allen put legendary engineer Joe Sutter in cost. It took solely 28 months for Sutter’s staff often known as “the Incredibles” to develop the 747 earlier than the first flight on Feb. 9, 1969.
Although it will definitely grew to become a money cow, the 747’s preliminary years have been riddled with issues and the $1-billion improvement prices nearly bankrupted Boeing, which believed the way forward for air journey lay in supersonic jets.
After a droop throughout the Nineteen Seventies oil disaster, the aircraft’s heyday arrived in 1989 when Boeing launched the 747-400 with new engines and lighter supplies, making it an ideal match to satisfy rising demand for trans-Pacific flights.
“The 747 is the most lovely and simple aircraft to land … It’s identical to touchdown an armchair,” mentioned Dickinson, who additionally chairs aviation upkeep agency Caerdav.
AGE OF ECONOMICS
The similar swell of innovation that obtained the 747 off the floor has spelled its finish, as advances made it potential for dual-engine jets to copy its vary and capability at decrease price.
Yet the 777X, set to take the 747’s place at the high of the jet market, is not going to be prepared till not less than 2025 after delays.
“In phrases of spectacular expertise, nice capability, nice economics … (the 777X) does sadly make the 747 look out of date,” AeroDynamic Advisory managing director Richard Aboulafia mentioned.
Nevertheless, the newest 747-8 model is ready to grace the skies for years, mainly as a freighter, having outlasted European Airbus’ (AIR.PA) double-decker A380 passenger jet in manufacturing.
This week’s final 747 supply leaves questions over the way forward for the mammoth however now under-used Everett widebody manufacturing plant exterior Seattle, whereas Boeing can also be struggling after the COVID pandemic and a 737 MAX security disaster.
Chief Executive Dave Calhoun has mentioned Boeing might not design a brand new airliner for not less than a decade.
“It was one in every of the wonders of the fashionable industrial age,” mentioned Aboulafia, “But this is not an age of wonders, it is an age of economics.”
