The prestigious ‘Red Flag’ exercise will also see NATO forces taking part in war games that will have a focus on special operations.
Sources have told ET that the Indian air force will be sending a 12 aircraft team to the US in April that would include four each of the Su 30 and Jaguar fighters, besides two C 17 tactical lift aircraft and IL 78 midair refulers each. “The final plan is in place and 176 personnel from the Indian side will take part. A special focus will be on carrying out air operations in an environment where troops are also functioning closely on the ground,” an official involved in the exercise told ET.
The Red Flag would be the most complex aerial war game between the two nations and would include Aerial Early Warning aircraft from NATO forces as well as a small delegation from Denmark. India has once again refrained from taking its Aerial early warning aircraft for the overseas exercise.
The US side is expected to take part with its cutting edge fighters, including the F 22 Raptor. Red Flag is a showcase aerial exercise that features the best pilots and aircraft from around the world. India was to take part in a 2013 edition of the war game which was abruptly called off after a series of budget cuts by Washington to the US military training program.
The last time the Indian Air Force took part in an exercise of this scale was at the Nellis Red Flag in 2008 where the Su 30 MKI fighters featured, crossing swords with advanced western fighters for the first time. Sending aircraft for such an exercise has to be carefully planned, particularly due to the high expenses involved.
By some estimates, the budget for the exercise could well exceed Rs 100 crore.

The operations will be an extension of Detachment 105 based on the CU Boulder campus, with dedicated faculty and staff located on the UCCS campus. The local unit will allow students who currently travel to Boulder one to three times a week to remain in Colorado Springs and complete the majority of the Air Force ROTC program.
“We had several students who couldn’t commit to the program, or couldn’t advance in the program, because of the time and resources required to travel multiple times in each semester,” said Carlos Garcia, associate vice chancellor, Student Success. “We’re looking forward to more students being able to enroll in the Air Force ROTC with these new local resources.”
Management of the program’s operations will remain with Detachment Commander Col. John Cairney, professor, Aerospace Studies, CU Boulder. Capts. Julio Mueckay and Brandon Witworth will manage the UCCS operating location and will be based in building 1861 at University Office Park.
“The growth of UCCS, and the subsequent increase of students in the Air Force ROTC program, made this a natural progression to offer this opportunity in Colorado Springs,” Cairney said. “This will allow us to expand our capacity for students who are willing to take on the challenge.”
The Air Force ROTC program is typically a four-year program, but a three-year option is available for interested sophomores. Upon completion at graduation, cadets are commissioned as second lieutenants in the United States Air Force. The Air Force ROTC courses are in addition to a student’s current academic major, and positions after graduation are matched based on the student’s interest, Air Force Officer Qualifying Test, commander’s rankings and current Air Force needs. | aerospace |

The REC Foundation Aerial Drone Competition offers an exciting educational drone sporting event focusing on hands-on, student-centered learning. The program consists of 4 distinct missions:
Teamwork: Alliances of two teams work together to score as many points as possible in 90-second matches under pilot control.
Autonomous flight: Individual drones score as many points as possible in one minute of pre-programmed autonomous operation.
Piloting skills: Individual drones score as many points as possible in one minute of pilot control.
Communications: Teams maintain a record of their work throughout the season in a Competition Logbook, and are also interview by judges.
Current Game: Eclipse
ADC Eclipse is played on a 20'x20’ field. In the teamwork mission, two teams collaborate to score as many points as possible in a 90-second match.
Teams score points by removing balls from chambers and scoring them in goals corresponding to their color. At the end of the match, teams can earn additional points by competing the Eclipse – piloting their drone through a series of obstacles in sequence – and by landing their drones in designated locations.
Additionally, the autonomous flight and piloting skills missions use a separate "skills" field layout which provides a series of objects and obstacles for drones to sense and fly through.
The WV Robotics Alliance coordinates with schools, universities, and other partners to provide equipment, staffing, and support for ADC qualifying tournaments throughout the state, which are generally held between November and February.
Additionally, we are excited to host Aerial Drone Championship: Dragonfly, one of four Aerial Drone Competition Championship events, at Fairmont State University. May 19-20, 2023.
ADC is presented by the Robotics Education & Competition (REC) Foundation, a US-registered 501(c)(3) non-profit educational organization. The REC Foundation’s mission is to increase student interest and involvement in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) by engaging students in hands-on, affordable, and sustainable robotics engineering programs.

United Aviate Academy at Phoenix Goodyear Airport will create hundreds of jobs
GOODYEAR, AZ (December 3, 2021) — The Arizona Commerce Authority (ACA) announced today that United Aviate Academy (UAA), a wholly owned subsidiary of United Airlines, will lease a state-of-the-art training facility at Phoenix Goodyear Airport. United Aviate Academy will welcome its inaugural class of aspiring pilots to the facility on Dec. 6.
Representing an investment of more than $10 million and the creation of hundreds of jobs, the program at Phoenix Goodyear Airport will provide aspiring pilots with resources, equipment and accommodations. UAA will lease the facility from the City of Phoenix. The facility was previously home to Lufthansa Aviation Training (LAT) and United Aviate Academy will sublease part of its facility to LAT, a wholly owned subsidiary of Lufthansa, a United Star Alliance partner.
“I am elated that United Airlines has chosen Goodyear to expand its pilot training program, United Aviate Academy,” said Goodyear Mayor Georgia Lord. “The Phoenix Goodyear Airport has a longstanding tradition of excellence in aviation training, and we are excited to see United continuing that legacy. Their announcement today and future plans for expansion will continue to bolster the aviation industry employment in our growing community.”
“We are thrilled to welcome our first class of students to the academy’s new home at Phoenix Goodyear Airport,” said Mary Ann Schaffer, United’s chief pilot and member of the United Aviate Academy board of directors. “The facility ensures we have the resources to expand our training capabilities and that the next generation of aviators will receive industry-leading training toward their goal of becoming a pilot for United Airlines.”
The 340,000-square-foot Goodyear facility will feature a leased fleet of late-model Cirrus SR-20 series single-engine aircraft with advanced safety characteristics, two aircraft hangars, nearly 50,000 square feet of office space, and dormitory rooms for student housing with room for expansion.
“United Aviate Academy’s pilot training program is a valued addition to Arizona’s aviation sector and we’re excited to welcome their inaugural program to Goodyear,” said Sandra Watson, President and CEO of the Arizona Commerce Authority. “We are grateful to UAA for choosing Goodyear, creating hundreds of jobs for Arizonans in a rapidly-growing industry.”
“Phoenix Goodyear Airport is excited to welcome United Airlines and the students of their wholly owned subsidiary, United Aviate Academy,” said Director of Aviation Services Chad Makovsky. “Phoenix Goodyear Airport has been a long-standing partner with flight schools training future generations of pilots. This new partnership will continue to give students a place where they can receive the training they need while also providing a boost to our airport system and the West Valley.”
The Phoenix Goodyear Airport was founded in 1940 and was first known as the Naval Air Facility Litchfield Park. It became a hub for the U.S. Navy and was established as a U.S. Navy Air facility to test, fly and deliver aircraft during World War II. It remained a naval facility after the war ended, preserving and storing aircraft from 1945 to 1965. In 1968, the City of Phoenix purchased the land as an alternative airport to Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport.
Currently, the airport serves as a home to various businesses including fixed base operator Lux Air Jet Centers and AerSale, an aircraft Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) business.
Over the past few years, Goodyear has welcomed expansions from industry leaders including Amazon, Ball Corporation, Microsoft, and most recently, Helix Electric, which announced in September that its first manufacturing facility in Arizona will be located in Goodyear.

Introduction: A Rover’s Journey to the Red Planet
Embarking on an extraordinary mission to uncover the secrets of Mars, NASA’s Perseverance rover has captured the imagination of space enthusiasts worldwide. In its quest for knowledge, the rover has set its sights on Jezero Crater, an ancient Martian lakebed that holds the promise of revealing intriguing details about the planet’s past. Join us on this beginner’s guide to understand the significance of the rover’s mission, the mysteries of Jezero Crater, and the potential insights into Mars’ history.
Unveiling Jezero Crater – A Martian Time Capsule
Situated on the western edge of Isidis Planitia, Jezero Crater is a captivating geological feature on Mars that has piqued the interest of scientists and space enthusiasts alike. This crater, approximately 28 miles in diameter, once housed a lake billions of years ago. The rover’s exploration of Jezero is akin to opening a time capsule, offering a window into the ancient history of Mars.
The Perseverance Rover – Our Robotic Explorer
Perseverance, aptly named for its tenacity, is the latest addition to NASA’s impressive fleet of Mars rovers. Launched in July 2020, this advanced robotic explorer is equipped with state-of-the-art instruments designed to analyze the Martian terrain, search for signs of past life, and collect samples for potential return to Earth. As Perseverance traverses the rugged landscape of Jezero Crater, it follows in the tire tracks of its predecessors – Sojourner, Spirit, Opportunity, and Curiosity – each contributing to our expanding knowledge of the Red Planet.
Tracing the Ancient Lake – A Geologic Detective Story
As Perseverance roams the Martian surface, it meticulously examines the sedimentary layers of Jezero Crater. These layers, like the pages of a geologic detective story, hold clues about the environmental conditions that existed when the lake was present. By analyzing the composition and structure of these sediments, scientists hope to unravel the mysteries of Mars’ ancient climate and the potential habitability of its past.
Lakes on Mars – A Surprising Discovery
The presence of ancient lakes on Mars challenges our previous understanding of the planet’s history. Mars, often considered a cold and arid world, was once home to liquid water bodies. The discovery of these ancient lakes raises questions about the possibility of microbial life existing in the planet’s distant past. Through Perseverance’s exploration, scientists aim to determine the conditions that may have supported life and whether Mars could have been a habitable environment billions of years ago.
Analyzing Sediment – Clues to Mars’ Past Climate
Sediment, the finely layered material that blankets the Martian surface, serves as a valuable archive of the planet’s history. Perseverance’s scientific instruments, such as the SuperCam and PIXL, are instrumental in analyzing these sediments. By studying the minerals and chemical composition of the rocks, scientists can reconstruct the past climate of Mars, offering insights into the planet’s evolution and the potential for habitability.
The Future of Martian Exploration – Sample Return Mission
As Perseverance collects samples from Jezero Crater, a future mission is being planned to bring these precious specimens back to Earth. This unprecedented sample return mission, in collaboration with the European Space Agency, holds the key to unlocking even deeper insights into Mars’ geology and the potential existence of ancient life. The prospect of analyzing Martian rocks in Earth laboratories opens new frontiers in our quest to understand the Red Planet.
Conclusion: Decoding the Red Planet’s Secrets
In the grand tapestry of space exploration, Perseverance’s mission to Jezero Crater marks a significant chapter. The rover’s discoveries, combined with the wealth of knowledge gathered by previous missions, are gradually piecing together the puzzle of Mars’ past. From the remnants of ancient lakes to the analysis of sediment, each step taken by Perseverance brings us closer to understanding the planet’s evolution and the possibility of life beyond Earth. | aerospace |

The Buccaneer, built by Blackburn (BAe) at Brough, epitomises the fast, low-level ground attack concept with its inherently stable ride famously being likened to that of a “Ball bearing on glass”.
Having enjoyed a successful, albeit relatively uneventful, career with the Royal Navy, the Buccaneer realised its true potential with the RAF and S African Air Force where it soon proved itself to be an immensely strong, manoeuvrable and reliable aircraft with a better speed, range and weapons carrying capability than many others.
This was borne out during the many NATO exercises but came to public attention during Operation Granby, Gulf War One. Here 12 Buccaneers were despatched at 3 days notice, initially to laser designate targets for Tornado Bombers.
Later in the campaign, they acted as both Tornado designators and bombers in their own right whilst carrying out missions dropping their own 1000 lbs LGB’s.
In total the type flew 216 Gulf sorties, destroying numerous bridges, aircraft shelters, runways, command bunkers, ammunition stores and even other aircraft. The Buccaneer was prematurely withdrawn from service in 1994 as a result of arms reduction talks and the subsequent rationalisation of RAF assets, it being replaced in the maritime strike role by the arguably less capable but more modern and surplus Tornado aircraft.
The Buccaneer was designed in the late 1950’s as a low-level, long range, high speed, strike / attack / recce aircraft for carrier and land operations. It was produced in two main variants, the S1 and the much improved and more powerful S2, the latter serving with both the RN and RAF from 1965 to 1994.
The type is powered by two Rolls-Royce Spey Mk101 axial flow bypass turbojet engines mounted in the wing roots. It normally has two crew positions, pilot and navigator / observer, but can be safely operated by the pilot alone. The crew is seated in tandem in a cabin which is pressurised for high altitude flight.
A large bomb bay is located in the centre fuselage with a rotating door. This also serves as a fuel tank. This bay, in addition to 4 underwing hard points can carry a variety of stores and fuel tanks. The landing gear is hydraulically operated and comprises two main units, which retract inwards, and a steerable nose wheel unit which retracts rearwards. Hydraulically operated disc brakes with anti skid control are fitted to the main wheels. A hydraulically operated arrester hook (and tail skid) are fitted which can engage any of the standard cables at military airfields.
The fuselage was designed on the “area rule principal” where abrupt changes in the cross-sectional area of the aircraft were avoided to improve high-speed handling. Area ruling means that the fuselage shrinks where the cross-section includes the wings, and then expands again after the wings, giving the fuselage a “coke bottle” appearance. The tail unit is a large fin surmounted by an all-moving tailplane. To facilitate storage in the confined space of an aircraft carrier, the mainplanes incorporate a hydraulic wing-fold mechanism; the nose can be folded back parallel to the fuselage and the tail-mounted airbrakes can open to 90 degrees.
HHA operate one Buccaneer S2b to accommodate extremely long range taskings.
XX885 / G-HHAA was built as an S2b and delivered on 20th May 1974 to the RAF. As such, it was one of the last Buccaneers to be built. It is worth noting that is direct predecessors on the production line were three ‘special’ aircraft for the RAE, which, coincidentally, are now being operated by a civilian company in South Africa.
XX885 served in Germany with No’s 15 & 16 Sqns; then at Lossiemouth with 12 Sqn until 1980. Then, following a main spar failure on an S2 in the USA, XX885 was transferred to St Athan for a main spar transplant and returned to the somewhat reduced-in-size fleet to serve with Sqns No’s 12, 208 and 237 OCU both at Lossiemouth, Cyprus and from Bahrain during the first Gulf War until its retirement in 1994. It was the very last Buccaneer cycled through the factory at Woodford to receive the ASR1012 mid life update in 1989 and was then further modified in 1991 for Gulf war participation. XX885 embodies the very latest Mod state of the RAF Buccaneer fleet.
All of the Lossie Wing Buccaneers carried logos from famous Whiskey’s with XX885 adopting “Famous Grouse” and also carried the names Carolyn and Hello Sailor in addition to the Sky Pirates emblem. XX885 flew seven ‘ops’ and was credited with the destruction of and Iraqi Antonov AN-12 Cub transport on the ground. Key is the fact that the aircraft is relatively young and was originally intended for an extra 10-15 years of high utilisation service life.
Although retained by the RAF at Lossiemouth as an instructional airframe (9225M), it was in fact never used for instructional purposes. Instead XX885 was stored in hangar K20 where it was overseen by Engineering Wing staff. The aircraft was put up for disposal in 2000 and was purchased at auction on the 16th March by HHA, inhibited and then shipped by road and sea to HHA’s maintenance base at RAF Scampton.
After over 2750 hours of design verification and critical system analysis work by HHA staff, the aircraft was classified in the BCAR A8-20 ‘Complex’ category for civilian use.
XX885 is currently in storage at HHA’s RAF Scampton facility undergoing regular anti-det maintenance and custodial ground runs. The aircraft, it’s systems and spares are maintained in such a condition that it can readily be reactivated to flight status should a contractual tasking arise which requires the performance & flight envelope of the Buccaneer platform. | aerospace |

Good riddance!
by David Veksler, Mises Blog
Did you know that two significant events in spaceflight took place in 1969? The first was the first manned landing on the moon, on July 20, 1969. The second is a little less known. Buoyed by the success of the space program, President Nixon made the fateful decision to launch the Space Shuttle program in that same year.
The cost for the project was estimated to be about five billion dollars to deliver stuff to orbit at $118 per pound. The “space shuttle” was intended to fly much like a plane – cheap and easily serviced, with flights every few weeks and massive cargo capacity.
When the Shuttle was finally completed in 1981, the reality was a bit different. First, the shuttle was 20% too heavy, so it couldn’t actually deliver the military payloads it was designed to fly. That left the civilian market. Unfortunately, the actual cost was $27,000 per pound delivered to orbit. Finally, the overhaul after each flight actually took many months and cost $1.5 billion, making regular “shuttle” service impractical. Compounding the cost was the fact that the shuttle tends to explode with cargo and crew every decade or so, and thus costs years of idleness and a dozen billion or so in redesign costs. In other words, the program was a total failure before the shuttle ever got off the ground.
If a car maker tried to sell a car that cost 228 times what was promised, could fit only half the advertised passengers, and had to be refurbished after every drive, they might not do so well in the market, especially when a much cheaper alternative was available. The Soviet Soyuz launcher designed in 1965 costs under a tenth of the Shuttle and has now in fact replaced it.
When the government was faced with the same problem, it decided to “invent” a market for the shuttle instead. Thus came about thousands of useless space experiments and a useless $160 billion space station, which is scheduled to be demolished in 2016. In other cases, satellites which used to be launched by cheap expendable rockets were redirected to the shuttle, actually delaying the launch and ballooning the costs.
Finally, after 30 years of flying a 1970′s era design, the shuttle has flown its last. Imagine if other technologies had been likewise monopolized by the State. We’d still be driving rusty gas guzzlers with giant fins and after-burner tail lights, computing on enormous mainframes with punch cards, calling from home on rotary phones, and listening to music on LP’s. And forget about microwaves and calculators! (Of course, even these things were created by the market.)
The best hope for the next 30 year of spaceflight is that a private company such as SpaceX takes over. But with the government as their biggest customer, I wouldn’t plan a vacation to the moon just yet.

Marcia Shamo, Avionitek
Advanced Aviation Technology Ltd.
(First published April 2000)
Complete, accurate, and timely information is critical
for effective and efficient task performance in the high-risk cockpit
environment. In civil aviation, the list of incidents and accidents in which
incomplete, inaccurate, or delayed information plays a role is too long.
Critical information can be buried in ambiguously organized text. In one
accident, for example, the crew's inability to locate the correct emergency
procedure was determined to be a significant contributing factor to the fatal
outcome. The accident report stated that "the crew apparently believed that the
procedure was in the abnormal section, when it was actually in the emergency
section". Crews need immediate access to the right information; access only
possible with digital, integrated information. Providing integrated information
support in the cockpit is now possible with ICIS - an Integrated Crew
Information System. Essential information can be rapidly and efficiently
provided without burying flight crew in masses of inaccessible paper and
Pilots, airlines, and the aviation industry recognize
that digital, integrated supplementary flight information is a growing
necessity, and the definition of requirements for these integrated information
systems is progressing. These systems, sometimes termed Electronic Flight Bags
(EFB), will offer immediate retrieval of supplemental flight information such
as manuals and checklists. In addition, the EFB will provide functions not
possible with paper such as moving maps, normal and abnormal performance
calculations, near real-time weather, terrain, and other situation displays. In
this role, the EFB becomes the crew's interface for all flight deck tasks
outside those provided by the primary flight displays. As a repository of
information supporting flight crew performance, the EFB has enormous potential
to play a central role in the cockpit, including decision support for effective
Ideally this integrated system will also communicate
with other aircraft systems and servers, and with the ground for updated
information at all times. The final goal is a fully integrated 'paperless'
cockpit - fully digitized and immediately updateable by wireless communications
link. The quality of information in the paperless cockpit can be significantly
enhanced: information can be integrated, immediately accessible, and filtered
so that only relevant data is presented.
The potential efficiency and cost-benefits of the
paperless cockpit concept are important to all segments of the commercial
aviation industry. Pilots can shed their cumbersome flight bags and no longer
have to spend hours updating manuals, the airline's manual maintenance and
updating process can be considerably streamlined. Each flight can be made safer
and more efficient by accurate, integrated, and complete supplementary flight
information that is immediately available to each pilot via their own personal
display unit, to support the performance of individual and team tasks.
2. The Way Ahead
The continuing challenge for avionics manufacturers is
to develop systems that have both usability and flexibility - on an open
platform of commercial software and hardware - coupled with the high integrity
and robustness of cockpit avionics necessary for information accuracy.
Developing a complete and integrated information system having ground support,
data transfer, and on-board components will lead to a quantum leap in
efficiency and safety, both in the air and on the ground. The flight crew will
then have the complete, accurate, and timely information they need to carry out
3. Integrated Crew Information System - ICIS
This article describes a system that meets the
requirements for a digital supplemental flight information system. This system
is ICIS - Integrated Crew Information System. The ICIS includes an on-board
segment, an air-ground link, and a ground segment for a complete system.
The ICIS on-board is a powerful PC-based platform with
the flexibility to simultaneously support multiple cockpit applications. The
on-board ICIS Crew Units (ICUs) provide a single source for all the
supplementary and situation information the crew needs for safe and efficient
flight, such as checklists and manuals, moving maps and charts, take-off and
landing speeds calculations, EGPWS, and more. This soon-to-be FAA-certified
system ensures software and hardware integrity and information accuracy
wherever necessary, while built-in protection allows the simultaneous display
of other non-safety critical applications.
The air-ground link segment will use various
communication channels (ACARS, VHF datalink, SATCOM, Gate-link) to enable the
efficient transfer of digital information between the aircraft and the
The ground segment of the ICIS provides a safe and
efficient means for maintaining and updating the information, and for
distribution to the aircraft.
4. ICIS On-board
The ICIS on-board consists of integrated personal
display devices, one for each crew member, that communicates via a dedicated
Ethernet LAN (ELAN). The on-board units are powerful hardware devices that use
PC technologies and comply with stringent avionics standards. These units
include a Pentium processor, large disk and memory capacities, and a large,
high-resolution, sunlight-readable color display. The on-board ICIS units
comply with the environmental requirements of RTCA/DO-160D, as defined for
For cockpit safety applications the units run
Avionitek's proprietary ICIS Operating System (IOS). The on-board ICIS units
can also run standard PC software using the Windows 95, 98, or NT operating
systems, enabling commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) software to be used for rapid
development of non-essential cockpit applications.
The capability to run two different operating systems
simultaneously is a unique and powerful capability of the on-board unit that
will enable the implementation of COTS applications for non-critical tasks and
IOS for safety-critical tasks.
The ICIS was designed for the pilots' ease of use.
Interacting with the unit requires no more than pushing buttons, and no need
for dexterity with mouse or stylus. Display screens are customized to ensure
similarity with the airline's information formats, so training time is
There are many functions that may be supported by
ICIS, ranging in complexity from a simple 'page viewer' to flight planning and
communication as well as checklist, performance and take-off calculations.
Typical functions include:
- Electronic libraries of flight manuals
- Procedures (Normal, abnormal, emergency)
- Flight Information (Flight planning, Performance,
Minimum Equipment List, Weight & Balance calculations)
- Situation displays (weather, terrain and obstacles,
moving maps, traffic, aircraft system status)
Details for some of the major functions include:
5.1 Integrated Electronic Library System
The Electronic Library System contains all the cockpit
manuals, checklists and procedures available today in paper format. The
information in the ICIS is highly integrated and inter-linked to various
subject-related data items. Information available in the ICIS can be easily
accessed by means of three retrieval mechanisms: table of contents, index, and
The Normal Checklist application includes all normal
checklist procedures in electronic format. User features such as checkmarks,
shortcut keys, expanded information, skip, etc., are implemented to improve the
safety and efficiency of the normal checklist. In addition to the normal
checklist features, the Non-normal Checklist application includes automatic
logic as an aid in the efficient and safe execution of complicated
5.3 EGPWS Display
The EGPWS application provides visual display
capabilities for the aircraft's EGPWS system, and supports the top priority of
the EGPWS's 'pop-up' warning display. Manual range selection is an additional
feature of this application.
The Weather Application provides the crew with all
weather information required during flight. Real-time weather will be updated
at regular intervals and filtered to present only weather information relevant
to a specific aircraft along its flight route. The weather viewer enables the
crew to zoom in and retrieve almost any information offered by the weather
information provider. Agreements are currently in progress with leading weather
Performance information (V speeds, Weight limitations,
Engine power) is based on the manufacturer's graphs. ICIS performance
calculations are comprehensive and include all limitations and restrictions
according to individual airline policy.
5.6 Moving Map Display
The ICU can present maps and charts provided by third
parties. Maps and charts will be synchronized with the aircraft position and
flight phase. The Maps & Charts application is much more than a regular
viewer. Once the maps and charts are available on-board in electronic format
they are integrated with all navigation-related applications.
This application enables access to several
communication channel available on-board: ACARS, other VHF Datalink, SATCOM,
gate-link etc. In-flight information, such as weather parameters, NOTAMS etc.
are directed automatically to the relevant built-in application. Messages to
the crew are stored in the "Mail Box" and are displayed upon request. The
Communication application can easily emulate the ACARS CDU available in the
cockpit. The ICU, as a replacement of the CDU, has a larger and better display,
more computation capabilities and in addition the ICUs are more optimally
located for each crewmember. The CDU emulation by ICIS can provide improved
dialog forms and additional enhanced functions.
6. Proof of Concept
ICIS has been subject to several evaluations to
demonstrate the operational benefits that can be gained. In particular, ICIS
was successfully examined by more than 250 line pilots at a major US airline in
a broad-scale evaluation that included the use of ICIS in the simulator during
normal and abnormal flight scenarios. The evaluation results showed that the
ICIS significantly reduces crew workload, increases situation awareness, and
improves flight safety. In addition to crew and flight safety benefits, ICIS
improves efficiency and reduces the operational expenses of the airline by:
- Reducing documentation update and distribution
- Reducing printing costs
- Optimizing take-off power settings
- Enabling retrofit of classic aircraft
- Reducing aircraft down time
- Reducing required training time etc.
8. Aircraft to Ground Link
Digital information can be transferred between the
aircraft and the ground via different communication channels:
- ACARS - as exists on many aircraft but is strictly
limited in its throughput.
- High Speed VHF Datalink.
- SATCOM - that will be more common in the future and
will enter the World Wide Web communication network to the aircraft.
- Gate Communication - for high throughput, low cost
communication limited to the gate or airport area but suitable for large
amounts of data updates.
As a result of the on-board high-speed Ethernet
interconnections, all information, regardless of its received channel, can be
shared and integrated into various on-board applications.
9. Ground Segment Overview
Information in the ICIS can be divided into two
a) Fleet Information consisting of all flight deck
information applicable to the fleet, such as operation manuals, checklists
(normal, abnormal and emergency procedures), area, approach and enroute charts,
airport charts, maps etc.
b) Flight Information applicable to a specific flight
such as weather information, NOTAMS, cabin information, and reports generated
during the flight.
The ICIS ground segment provides the means required to
prepare, manage, control and distribute the operator-modifiable on-board
digital Fleet Information. The ICIS ground segment consists of the following
- IMTS - Information Management Tool Suite, providing
the tools required for updating all on-board fleet information.
- IDS - Information Distribution System that
distributes in-flight data received from the aircraft (via SITA, ARINC or other
service providers) to the different airline users throughout the airline
network system and visa versa.
10. Managing Flight Deck Information: IMTS
Avionitek's IMTS is a set of integrated tools that
enable the airline to create, update and manage the information used by the
on-board ICUs. All the Fleet Information (text, diagrams, charts, checklists,
maps etc.) and data dedicated to a specific tail number are organized in the
Fleet Database, which resides in the IMTS.
Similar to current manual updating processes, Subject
Experts are responsible for the verification of the content and for the
implementation of the subject-related hyperlinks. The information update
process follows the existing process used for paper manual updates, with tools
for the implementation of hyperlinks, revision change, and configuration
management. The IMTS generates Revision Change Reports, which lists all changes
since the previously released database.
The IMTS provides a structured environment for the
controlled modification of operator-modifiable information. IMTS processes
ensure that all modifications are carried out in accordance with regulatory
requirements and guidelines for operator-modifiable fleet information and the
modification of electronic checklists.
Avionitek's IMTS will enable the airline to treat the
fleet's information as a single database. This database can be loaded to the
on-board units, be published in different formats such as CD-ROM, Internet, or
be published in paper format like the existing manuals. The ICIS ground segment
will merge with the airline's existing infrastructure to aid in the seamless
change from a paper-based to a digital-based information system.
ICIS is a fully integrated digital information and
decision support system that can significantly improve the safety and
efficiency of cockpit operations. New functionality brings improvements simply
not achievable with burdensome paper systems. The modular construction of ICIS
also means that its benefits are not just limited to the cockpit but can extend
through out the airline's entire operation if desired. ICIS can bring
widespread direct and secondary benefits to all aspects of airline and aircraft | aerospace |

Value is created by improving operational efficiency and by rendering decision making process more effective. Briefly stating, Maintenix consists of a software package delivering integrated, intelligent aviation MRO software.
An important aspect is that Maintenix can be linked with other software making the work less fragmented and so information can pass from a system to another smoothly. The inefficiencies of these systems were costing the airline engineers time and money that could have been used on maintaining planes.
It reduces repetitive tasks and time chasing missing or incomplete information by allowing maintenance, engineering, and finance divisions to easily share information. Sharing of information is made easy on Maintenix allowing for increased cooperation and communication among the different functions.
Air Canada is keen on replacing old software packages that has served the company over 15 years with new and more efficient packages able to boost productivity. Air Canadas old legacy systems were not able to interact with one another or with the finance and inventory systems. The first example deals with the extent to which a component or a part is more compatible than another.

The line maintenance module involves matching a dynamic list of maintenance work requirements against limited resources availability. The old systems were not able to interact with one another, resulting in more time spent by the engineer to coordinate between the different systems rather than focus solely on maintaining planes which is the core activity.
Therefore, Air Canada has decided to put in action a new software package called Maintenix which is provided by Mxi.

Iran says it has launched a new domestically built surface-to-surface missile, in another demonstration of the country's military technology.
Iranian state television Wednesday announced what it called a successful test firing of a new version of the Fateh-110 missile that has a longer range. The missile is said to be nine meters long and to weigh about 3,500 kilograms.
Iran's Press TV quotes Defense Minister Ahmad Vahidi as saying the new missile has improved precision.
Iran has been unveiling an array of military hardware in recent weeks, including another surface-to-surface missile called the Qiam-1.
The country also says it has begun producing two types of missile-equipped speedboats and a long-range drone aircraft that can carry bombs.
This rollout of military technology comes as Iran faces increasing pressure for its nuclear program.
Many in the international community believe Iran is seeking to develop a nuclear weapon. Tehran insists its atomic activities are for peaceful purposes.

The Tel Aviv-based startup first achieved the feat on Earth back in 2018. The company aims to offer access to slaughter-free meat to people all over the world.
Now, it looks like the ISS crew can also grow the alt-meat in the microgravity environment of space. Furthermore, culturing meat in space could ultimately help provide a solution for the global food shortage. It could also impact the way we eat meat on Earth.
Following a Proven Process
According to Aleph, the ISS produced the meat on Sept. 26, in the Russian segment of the station. To make its lab-grown meat on Earth, Aleph extracted cells from a cow via a biopsy. Then the company placed the cells inside a “broth” of nutrients that mimic the inside of a cow’s body. As the cells multiplied, connective muscle tissue formed that ultimately grew into a thin strip of “steak.”
However, copying the texture and flavor of actual steak is challenging. Researchers are still trying to get it as close to meat as possible.
“We’re the only company that has the capacity to make fully-textured meat that includes muscle fibers and blood vessels—all the components that provide the necessary structure and connections for the tissue,” Aleph’s CEO and co-founder, Didier Toubia, said in a Business Insider interview last year.
Naturally, ISS crew members had to tweak the experiment to do it in space. Researchers placed the cells and “nutrients” mixture in closed vials and launched the payloads into orbit.
When they arrived, cosmonauts at the space station loaded the vials into a magnetic printer provided by a Russian company called 3D Bioprinting Solutions. The printer replicated the cells to form muscle tissue (the “meat”). Crew members sent the samples back to Earth (still intact and unconsumed).
Implications in Space and on Earth
Ultimately, the crew’s ability to create “the meat” in microgravity was a successful proof-of-concept experiment with potentially huge implications. Aleph CEO Didier Toubia discussed the study’s global significance in an interview with The Guardian.
“We are proving that cultivated meat can be produced anytime, anywhere, in any condition,” said Toubia. “We can potentially provide a powerful solution to produce the food closer to the population needing it, at the exact and right time it is needed.”
This operation could be vital during future deep space missions, such as in a journey to Mars.
Toubia added, “In space, we don’t have 10,000 or 15,000 liters of water available to produce 1kg of beef.”
Perhaps more importantly, the process could provide a solution for the global food scarcity issue on Earth.
“This joint experiment marks a significant first step toward achieving our vision to ensure food security for generations to come while preserving our natural resources,” Toubia said.
Those who have tasted the meat say that researchers need to improve the flavor. In other words, space-cultivated meat probably doesn’t taste anything like popular Earth-made meat alternatives like Impossible Burgers.
Nonetheless, the joint ISS study marks a huge milestone. It also proves that Aleph’s process works “under extremely harsh conditions,” even 248 miles above the Earth. Overall, the outcome bodes well for future “bio-farms” that can help combat climate change with slaughter-free meat. | aerospace |

The Moon landings are often regarded as mankind's finest achievement, and this 2008 Discovery Science Channel miniseries certainly gives an in-depth account of why. At its peak in the 1960s, NASA's Project Apollo employed nearly 400,000 people, and this series is a tribute to the scientists, engineers and astronauts who made Kennedy's audacious dream come true.
Moon Machines is a series of six forty-five minute programmes, each focussing on a particular piece of essential hardware developed specifically to place an American on the Moon by the end of 1969. It includes episodes concentrating on the Saturn V rocket, the Command Module, the Lunar Module, the Lunar Module's Guidance Computer, the Apollo Spacesuits and the Lunar Rover.
Using hours of original historic footage from NASA and its contractors, and interviews of the surviving engineers and scientists Moon Machines records those brief years in the sixties when (regarding spaceflight at least), anything seemed possible and when if materials orcomponents didn't pre-exist, they were almost magically developed and created by NASA and its engineers.
Everything about the Apollo program was gargantuan in size, from its budget to its workforce to the hardware itself. The first episode for example, about the development of the Saturn V launch vehicle, a monster at nearly three hundred and fifty feet tall and mankind's largest ever flying machine, reveals how the three stages of the booster were designed by an army of engineers and employees at three different companies: Boeing, North American Aviation, and the Douglas Aircraft Company. Of the hundreds of thousands of components developed and manufactured, all had to work together... perfectly. And all of this under the watchful eye of Wernher Von Braun and his German colleagues who worked on the V-2, from which the Saturn rockets were ultimately derived.
The series encompasses the setbacks such as the Apollo I launchpad fire when NASA lost
three astronauts, caused by inherent problems with the Command Module, the oxygen tank
explosion on board the Service Module of Apollo XIII when the Grumman-built Lunar
Module Aquarius was used as a lifeboat boat to bring Jim Lovell and his crew home, and the
numerous failures of launch vehicle stages on the test launch pad.
Every single employee interviewed in the series has a real glint of justifiable pride in their
eyes for the problems overcome and the triumphs, whether it was their work on the MIT-
developed guidance computer with its hand-wound copper wire memory, the women who
laboriously worked on the spacesuits, the Grumman engineers who produced the first ever
true spacecraft and the untestable lunar ascent engine, or the Douglas Aircraft Company
whose S-IVB Saturn V third stage worked perfectly on each mission and without which Trans-Lunar Injection and Lunar landings would not have been possible.
I love this series, probably because it bravely goes further than a mere entry-level
introduction to NASA's Apollo Program. It delves much deeper into its history, and the
design and engineering of much of the fantastic hardware involved. Ultimately, it is a tribute
to man's greatest ever voyage of discovery, and the amazing men and women who built the
Moon Machines that allowed it to happen.

On 14 January 1945, the Staffel seems to have sent up at least seven sorties, although we have details of only two of them: He 219 B4+AA landed in Lista at 00.54 on the 15th, Bf 110 B4+MA following at 01.08 hours. Keilig’s next scramble, again in B4+DA, was not until the 28th of the month.
Leutnant Günther Vollrath (pilot), Ogefr. Hans Baumgardt (radio operator) and Fw. August Farrenkothen (gunner) were lost on an operational sortie south west of Lista on 12 February (Bf 110 G-4, W.Nr. 740049, B4+VA). Ofw. Keilig’s next recorded flight, in Ju 88 G-6, B4+GA was on the 22nd, without success, but on the 23rd he took off at 20.10 hours and landed 67 minutes later having claimed a Short Stirling (Rod McKenzie notes that a No. 97 Sqn. Lancaster, PB588, was shot down by a Ju 88 during that night's raid on Horten, Norway). Keilig also scrambled in B4+GA on the 24, 25 and 27 February.
On the 25th, Uffz. Heinrich Semmelrogge (pilot), Uffz. Werner Dörries (radio operator), Uffz. Rudolf Lang (Bordwart) died in a crash attributed to pilot error (Ju 88 G-6, W.Nr. 621284, B4+NA). Petrick places this crash 20 km south west of Gardermoen aerodrome. Another G-6 was 30% damaged in a crash the following day but this time none of the crew was injured.
On the night of 28 February there was rain and 10/10 cloud at 300 m. over Stavanger, while Oslo was misty, 9/10 at 500–1000 m. The Staffel sent up a Ju 88 against “communications aircraft” (presumably flights between Britain and Sweden) over southern Norway. Although visibility was 3 km. or better, there were no sightings and the fighter landed safely.
On 2/3 March a Ju 88 and a Bf 110 sortied without success against aircraft supplying Resistance fighters in Southern Norway. Between 19.11 and 22.28 hrs. the next night about 25 Allied aircraft were laying mines in Oslofjord, so five Ju 88s (among them Kurt Keilig’s G-6, B4+EA from Kjevik; he would fly this aircraft for the rest of the war) and a Bf 110 were sent against them but did not make contact. No defence was mounted against the night’s communications flights, a suspected anti-shipping sweep or Resistance supply drops. The next time Nachtjagdstaffel Norwegen operated, it was with 5 Junkers and 3 Messerschmitts against a 20-strong Allied penetration of the Kristiansand – Oslofjord – Skagerrak area on 6/7 March. Oslo’s weather was clear, with 6/10 at 2500 m. but again there was no contact.
The night of the 8/9th saw 10 Allied aircraft seeking shipping in the central eastern Skagerrak from 20.39–01.25 hours but the two Ju 88s sent up (again including Keilig, but he was recalled to Kjevik immediately after taking off) to intercept them did not find anything. Three nights later, seven night fighters took off against against a supply drop in the Notodden area but two of the German machines aborted and the others had no success. Meanwhile, no defence was mounted against the 20 machines mine-laying in Oslofjord from 20.20–23.20 hours. On the 12/13th, a single fighter sortied against raiders thought to be looking for shipping off Arendal and in the eastern Skagerrak.
The Staffel was redesignated as 4./NJG 3 on the 17th but its aircraft markings remained unchanged. The unit did not operate again until the night of the 20/21st, when a Ju 88 attempted to counter another supply drop near Notodden. It was unsuccessful. There was another supply mission two nights later and a Si 204 flew a reconnaissance of the drop zones but again the two Ju 88s scrambled achieved nothing. The following night (24/25 March) between 35 and 40 Allied aircraft were reported over Southern Norway and a few bombs fell on the airfield at Lista but did little damage. Three Ju 88s active over Sognefjord failed to make contact with the raiders. Keilig’s crew were up once more, this time landing in Stavanger-Sola.
On the 26/27th, a Bf 110 tried without success to intercept an armed reconnaissance over the Skagerrak and the night after that a Ju 88 had a fruitless sortie against raiders over the Skagerrak.
After a month of frustration, the events of 30/31 March must have been all the more welcome to the German crews. Between 21.53 and 03.21 hrs. four aircraft were dropping supplies to the Resistance Movement in Trondheim and 15 near Notodden. Three Ju 88s and two Bf 110s were scrambled against this latter operation while a Ju 52 and a Fw 58 reconnoitred the dropping points. In stark contrast to the rest of March, the night fighters claimed three Halifaxes and three Stirlings shot down for no loss. The Luftwaffe in Norway site identifies the three Stirlings (all of whose crews perished) as follows:
Stirling MK IV, LK 119 of No. 161 Sqn. (shot down near Tvedestrand)
Stirling MK IV, LJ 888 of No. 196 Sqn. (shot down at Arendal)
Stirling MK IV, LK 332 of No. 299 Sqn. (shot down at Risör)
Kurt Keilig operated from Kjevik from 01.48–04.09 hours on 3 April, suffering damage to his Ju 88’s hydraulics. An estimated 30 supply-dropping aircraft were active over Norway on the night of 3–4 April, countered by four aircraft from Nachtjagdstaffel Norwegen which claimed one success. A further aircraft was shot down by Flak, but Keilig's Flugbuch notes that Uffz. Sell's crew crashed to their deaths. From Grove, Denmark I./NJG 3 also reported sending up a Ju 88 against supply flights, from 01.07–02.25 hours.
The Luftwaffe’s “Morning Report West” of 12 April 1945 reports, among operations from Norway, that on the night of the 11/12th one Ju 88 flew a night fighter sortie against maritime reconnaissance aircraft over the Skaggerak. The aircraft concerned was B4+EA, flown by Kurt Keilig: he was aloft for 1 hour and 43 minutes and his Ju 88 G-6 again suffered hydraulic damage. It made no sightings and returned safely. On the night of the 13/14th there were several courier flights over southern Norway and one night fighter operated against them without success. At 21.31 hrs. on the 19th a Ju 88 was scrambled from Gardermoen to Kragerø; Ofw. Keilig flew again in 21 April (covering 1200 km.) while on the 25th his Ju 88 was scrambled from Gardermoen at 23.35 hours. At 23.00, Oslo signalled that a Ju 88 would scramble at 23.22 hrs. for Nesodden, south of Oslo.
The Naval Station at Fredrikshavn signalled that two Ju 88s had taken off for Oslo at 05.00 hours on 26 April, reporting 90 minutes later that only one had reached its destination, the other having put down in Aalborg. It is not clear whether these two machines were night fighters however.
In the last days of the war, Luftwaffe aircraft in Norway were ordered to rescue whomever they could from the German forces trapped on the Kurland Peninsula. Staffelkapitän Hptm. Hüschens and Ofw. Sebastian Falk however landed their Ju 88 G-6 (W.Nr. 623363, B4+SA) at Bredåkra in Sweden at 06.00 hours on 8 May 1945. Hauptmann Voigt flew his Ju 88 to Hamburg, Ofw. Keilig brought B4+EA back from Libau to Stade (after he couldn’t get in at Flensburg) and Ju 88 G-6 B4+FA (W.Nr. 621197) made it all the way to Mannheim-Sandhofen.
At least three machines remained in Norway: Bf 110 G-4 W.Nr. 110087, B4+KA; another G-4 (details unknown); and Ju 88 G-1 W.Nr. 710865, B4+DA, presumably Keilig’s old machine. The Staffel's He 219 may have ended the war at Copenhagen/Kastrup: Jörn Junker has posted two photographs of an He 219 marked "+AA" which was found there.

Over the past quarter century, it has sent back thousands of images of nearby planets and the most remote galaxies, expanding our knowledge of the universe in ways previously unimagined.
Hubble’s story begins with the solution to a problem: Earth's atmosphere, which blocks or distorts light reaching land-based telescopes. It is that atmospheric distortion that makes stars appear to twinkle.
A telescope based in space would not have to "look" through the atmosphere. And its position in low Earth orbit would place it close enough to be serviced by shuttle astronauts.
Fuzzy first images
Hubble was launched on April 24, 1990, aboard the Space Shuttle Discovery. Almost immediately, NASA scientists were aware that something was wrong. The first images were fuzzy. The diagnosis: Hubble’s primary mirror had been ground too flat, its curvature off by roughly one-fiftieth the thickness of a human hair.
Space Shuttle Endeavor astronauts docked with the telescope in 1993 to install a corrective lens.
“Since then we’ve had perfect images and perfect data,” said Hubble Senior Project Scientist Jennifer Wiseman. “And, in fact, all the newer cameras and newer instruments that have been installed on Hubble in the years since it was launched have that corrective optics integrated inside.”
Hubble circles the earth every 97 minutes, traveling at 8 kilometers per second. Its 2.4-meter-wide mirror directs light from the universe to its science instruments, which allow the telescope to capture sharp images from our solar system and the immense space beyond.
“One of Hubble’s most famous images is of the Eagle Nebula,” said Wiseman. “We see these big pillars. And inside these gas pillars, we know there are young stars still forming and Hubble’s infrared capabilities can see into those clouds and see those baby stars forming."
Baby stars, black holes
Hubble is one of NASA’s longest and most successful space missions.
Its data has allowed astronomers to chart the birth and evolution of stars, confirm that the universe is expanding and calculate its age at 13.8 billion years. Wiseman said Hubble also proved the existence of black holes within galaxies.
“Hubble was capable of looking at the fast motions of gas around the center of another galaxy and to discern that that fast motion, that fast rotation of gas, could only be held in place if there were something very massive in the core. It had to be a super massive black hole,” said Wiseman.
Wiseman said newer discoveries continue to emerge as Hubble points its instruments at the most massive clusters of galaxies in the most remote part of the universe.
“They contain not only these galaxies and stars but a lot of what we call dark matter, and because they are so massive, they can actually distort light that is passing by. As light is passing by something very massive, its path can get changed and it can actually get magnified,” she said.
Astronomers use that gravitational lens in space to observe very distant galaxies that otherwise they would not be able to see.
No more service missions
U.S. space shuttles have docked with the Hubble five times over the past quarter-century, so astronauts could replace parts, make repairs and install new equipment.
With the end of the shuttle program in 2011, the telescope can no longer be serviced in space. It will remain in orbit as long as its batteries, navigation system and gyroscopes last. Wiseman said however long that is, Hubble's legacy is assured.
“I think that it causes at its best all of humanity to pause for a moment, look up and think about who we are and how we are all citizens of this one magnificent planet in a very magnificent universe,” she said.
Despite its age, Hubble is working at its peak, archiving data that scientists can use for many years to come.
Wiseman said she hopes that Hubble remains in orbit long enough for its successor, the James Webb Space Telescope, to join it. That launch is scheduled for 2018. | aerospace |

U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer has started in motion a legislative effort to designate Syracuse as a test site in a new national program. That could clear the way for MQ-9 Reapers to take off and land at Hancock by 2014.
For almost four years, the FAA has banned flights of the Reaper, an aerial surveillance drone, out of Hancock Field. The agency has cited concerns about the drones sharing civil airspace and runways with commercial aircraft.
Without authority to fly out of Hancock, the Air National Guard was preparing to base two of its Reapers at Fort Drum, near Watertown, and begin its first local training missions this summer by remotely operating them over the Adirondacks.
If Schumer’s legislative move succeeds this week, it would help ensure the future of 1,215 jobs at the base in Mattydale and potentially lead to millions of dollars in radar research contracts for local defense companies.
Schumer said he and U.S. Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Oregon, plan to submit an amendment on unmanned aerial vehicles to the FAA reauthorization bill, a two-year $35 billion legislative package. The amendment would establish 10 test sites in the National Airspace System for unmanned aerial vehicles. As of now, the bill proposes establishing four sites.
Schumer said his amendment would require at least one of the test sites to include a significant portion of public lands — aiding the chances of Hancock Field’s selection, which has the largest training space in the Northeast and plans to conduct missions over Lake Ontario.
“Getting this amendment signed into law and designating Hancock as one of the sites will bring jobs and millions in investment to Central New York, all while increasing security across our northern border,” Schumer said in a statement. He added, “I’m confident we’ll see this amendment pass and I’m committed to working in overdrive to ensure Hancock is chosen as a test site.”
The senator said the 10 test sites would be able to evaluate various ground-based “sense and avoid” radar systems that help drones avoid collisions with commercial aircraft.
Schumer’s move delighted officials at the 174th Fighter Wing, as well as at local defense contractors such as SRC in Cicero, which has been trying to develop such a system. “This is very encouraging news,” Col. Kevin Bradley, commander of the 174th Fighter Wing, said when told of the Schumer amendment.
“We do think that this is an ideal location to have a UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) test site,” Bradley said. “We’ve got four seasons, we’ve got tremendous training air space, varying topography, an over-water range — it’s a great training and testing opportunity.”
Hancock Airport’s modern and highly instrumented air traffic control system also helps make the base an ideal training and testing ground, Bradley said. He said any Reapers that eventually fly out of Hancock will not be equipped with missiles or bombs. Instead, they would carry live ordnance only over ranges at Fort Drum, where the planes would be armed.
The top executive at SRC Inc. in Cicero, a defense contractor that specializes in radar development, said the air space between Hancock Field and the Adirondacks would be an ideal test site for the aerial drones and its ground-based radars. “As an experimental test pilot, I know the importance of actually flying vehicles to test out the operational concepts,” Bob Behler, president and CEO of SRC said in a statement.
Behler added, “I can personally attest that we need to have more test sites. This proposed site will benefit the entire region through positive economic impact, and take advantage of the leadership position Central New York has in technology development.”
An FAA spokesman in Washington declined to comment on Schumer’s amendment. “We’re not going to answer questions about legislative proposals.” said Les Dorr, an FAA spokesman. “If it should become law, we will have to decide how to implement it safely.”
Dorr reiterated the FAA’s long-standing concerns about having drones operate in civil air space — a concern shared by local activists in Central New York. “The FAA’s primary responsibility is to ensure the safety of airplanes in the air and people on the ground, and that applies to any aircraft, and that includes unmanned aerial systems,” Dorr said. “The technology does not yet exist to allow wholesale integration of unmanned aircraft in the national airspace.”
Sens. Schumer and Wyden are counting on the 10 national test sites to prove otherwise to the FAA.
Asked about the unresolved safety issues, Schumer spokesman Matt House said they remain the top priority for the senator. “Safety is job one, and Senator Schumer will push to ensure that test drones flying near Hancock are equipped with state-of-the-art technology capable of ensuring safety,” House said.

- They attached a fifth engine to the wing of a Boeing 747 to transport it to South Africa where it was needed by another 747.
- There are different procedures with the weight, balance and takeoff performance of the plane and some limits with the maximum takeoff weight.
- They put 6 tonnes less fuel in the tank on the side with the extra engine to compensate, so in effect, the aircraft doesn’t know that it’s carrying an extra engine.
- It increases the drag created by the plane.
- They schedule a technical stop for fuel in Perth, before the plane continues its journey to South Africa.
- No, the last time it happened was in 2011 and it’s usually not necessary due to the efficiency of the engines. | aerospace |

The resumption of flights between Malta and Tripoli, as well as a visit by aviation security experts from the Interior Ministry at Tripoli and Misurata Airport were among the main points on the agenda.
Following the one-day visit, Minister Clyde Caruana said that; “Seeing the Air Malta plane on Libyan soil for the first time in years is certainly a positive sign.”
“We must continue working together to see progress in aviation. Malta and Libya supported each other on many fronts over the past decades, and we will continue strengthening this strong relationship between the two peoples.”
The airline also plans to introduce daily flights between Rome Fiumicino and Malta by June
The appeal process delayed the project by 122 days
Home Affairs Minister Byron Camilleri notes that education and awareness are the best tools to combat such threats | aerospace |

HILL AIR FORCE BASE — NASA engineers are testing a landing system that will bring Mars rock samples to Earth, dropping them on the Utah Test and Training Range.
A series of Mars Sample Return Earth Entry System drop tests conducted March 1-3 at the UTTR were a success, according to a NASA news release last week.
The orbital descent vehicle was outfitted with sensors and dropped from a helicopter at 1,200 feet above ground, giving it time to reach the intended landing speed.
The vehicle, referred to for this testing phase as the Manufacturing Demonstration Unit, “was very stable during descent — it didn’t wobble around a lot, and it landed successfully, in the sense that there was no structural damage and it survived impact as expected,” said Jim Corliss, the return system program’s chief engineer.
The program, being planned by NASA and the European Space Agency, proposes to return samples collected by NASA’s Perseverance Mars rover and land them at UTTR inside the reentry vehicle.
The March drop tests were a follow-up to tests at the UTTR with a smaller, less-detailed unit last year. The vehicle used this time was described as a full-scale unit, 1.25 meters wide, made of fabricated materials.
It’s important for the vehicle to land in a particular orientation, Corliss said, and the drop tests indicated the full-scale vehicle was stable during final descent, landing on its nose as engineers intended.
Further tests will be conducted this year. But Mars rocks won’t be landing in Utah anytime soon. A mission timeline shows the sample return lander and Earth return orbiter will be launched from Earth in 2026 and 2027, respectively. Samples would be returned to Earth in 2031.
The program envisions landing the vehicles at Mars’ Jezero crater, where Perseverance is collecting samples. A sample retriever rover, about the size of a golf cart, will load the samples onto the retrieval lander. The lander then will be loaded onto the Mars Ascent Vehicle, which will carry the lander and samples into orbit, for loading into a European Space Agency craft that will take the payload to Earth.
Thomas Mullican, a Hill AFB spokesperson, said the Air Force assisted NASA with the planning, execution and control of the testing. UTTR is managed by Hill and the Air Force.
The $1 billion, 12,500-square-mile UTTR is described by the Air Force as the U.S. military’s only location capable of supporting overland testing of cruise missiles. Crews also conduct air-to-air-combat, air-to-ground inert and live practice bombing, and gunnery training. Other agencies use the UTTR as well, such as when obsolete rocket motors from Northrop Grumman are detonated.
UTTR has a $30 million annual operating budget. About 200 military and civilian personnel are assigned there.

Hi, I recently bought a section cup, I was just wondering I can reuse it on another object? Like say I want to record my flight from my seat and stick my section cup on the window, if i were to take it out, can I use it again on something else? Or what do you recommend for airplane windows from the passenger seat.

Tuesday, 9 February 2016 from 6:00 pm to 7:00 pm (AEDT)
Mr Jim Fawcett, Lead Flight Test Engineer at Airbus will explain how Airbus minimises risk in flight testing. He’ll use A350 testing of minimum un-stick speed to illustrate a successful test, and then take some examples of less successful tests to admit that even with the best risk management in the world, Murphy’s Law still applies.
Jim Fawcett has nearly 20 years of experience in aerospace, beginning as an engineering apprentice with British Aerospace in Filton, UK. In 1999 he obtained a Masters degree in Aeronautics and Astronautics with European Studies from the University of Southampton, including an exchange period with the Toulouse-based ENSICA (Ecole Nationale Supérieure d’Ingénieurs de Constructions Aéronautiques).
Jim began his work in flight test as a support engineer working on A340-600 development and he later managed Flight Test Instrumentation on all Airbus single aisle development aircraft and the A380 programme.
In 2006, Jim was offered the chance to train as a flight test engineer and spent the following 2 years in the Airbus internal Flight Test School, before graduating from the French flight test academy EPNER. After 5 years in the acceptance flight test department, firstly in Toulouse and then in Hamburg, Germany, he took up a role as a development flight test engineer specialising in communications and display systems.
He is qualified to operate as Lead Flight Test Engineer on all Airbus aircraft types, from the A318 to the A380. A member of the Royal Aeronautical Society and a Chartered Engineer, Jim also holds a private pilot’s licence.
Before the meeting please join colleagues for refreshments in the Officers Mess. Afterwards you are welcome to join the Committee and speaker for dinner.

Testing of Textron Aviation’s AT-6 Wolverine and Sierra Nevada/Embraer’s A-29 Super Tuscano will take place for roughly three months beginning in May at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Ariz. The service has long sought to retire the so-called Warthog, while encountering resistance largely from the Army and Marine Corps — both of whom have come to rely upon its formidable efficiency as a close-air support platform.
Testing will focus upon logistics and maintenance requirements, weapons and sensors, the training regimen, and the aircrafts’ capability to operate with other assets. Meanwhile, the Air Force plans to develop a suitable communications system that would prove effective in interaction with international forces, and demonstrate its command-and-control abilities. | aerospace |

MC-12s aren’t exactly a common visitor to this area and one’s presence immediately intrigued me. I was even more intrigued when I realized it was flying low level and correlated it to to SUNNY 22 which had just departed from Hunter AAF. A few seconds later, the callsign SUNNY 22 popped up in the callsign block in my Mode-S display. SUNNY is the callsign used by the US Army’s B/224 MI Bn, which is based at Hunter AAF. I immediately decided that I needed to make sure that the Mode-S information I was receiving was indeed what was flying out of Hunter, so I found me a spot off of the approach end of Runway 28 at Hunter and waited for SUNNY 22 to return. When it did, I was able to take a few photos confirming that SUNNY 22 was an MC-12W, specifically MC-12W 10-0739 (Mode-S AE4C61).
What makes this so interesting is that to the best of my knowledge the MC-12W is a USAF aircraft. If so, why is it flying with a US Army unit? According to the logs from my Mode-S receiver, the first time it was snagged was on 2 October 2014 for just a short period of time between 2025 and 2075 feet; the next time it shows on the log is today. As some of you may remember, I posted last month that 224 MI Bn was flying another new aircraft, an EMARSS, so this makes two new aircraft that B/224 MI Bn has been flying recently.
Combine this with one other bit of information and things get even more interesting. B/224 MI Bn normally flies RC-12Ns but I haven’t heard an RC-12 since July. The EMARSS aircraft started flying regularly in early August and the MC-12W showed up today, could this indicate that the unit is getting different aircraft an that its mission is moving in a different direction? Time will tell. | aerospace |

Organizers called it the largest drone show in the world.
The three-day trade fair of the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International featured nearly 600 exhibits intended to show how drones and other robots can help in law enforcement, search and rescue, traffic control, selling real estate, checking pipelines and forest fires, wildlife protection and other domestic duties.
The first goal, however, is to ease public fear of drones. Most in the fast-expanding industry won't even use the word, preferring euphemisms like "unmanned aerial vehicle" and remotely piloted aircraft, rather than the term most people associate with lethal drone strikes by the Obama administration against suspected terrorists from Pakistan to North Africa.
"Obviously the public is concerned," David Ison, an assistant professor at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, said in a speech about the need to protect Americans' privacy.
In the giant hall below, passers-by had their body heat invisibly scanned by infrared sensors, were invited to operate simulators to send drones screaming over the Hindu Kush, and watched toy-sized helicopters flutter and take pictures in front of home-sized windows. Barkers from Ohio, Florida, North Dakota and other states pitched drone testing sites. Colorful banners from aerospace giants like Boeing and Northrop Grumman hung from the ceiling next to drab, gray models of unmanned aircraft.
Congress has ordered the Federal Aviation Administration to open the nation's airspace to commercial drone traffic by September 2015, and experts estimate that 10,000 unmanned aircraft could be aloft five years later. Major defense contractors, and many smaller companies, are angling to supply low-cost portable aircraft to a potentially lucrative domestic market.
"As the military wars wind down, people are seeing the value of unmanned systems -- air, ground and maritime -- and how they can be used in civil and commercial life," said Melanie Hinton, a spokeswoman for the conference. "This is a growth industry." | aerospace |

The governor said cows took over the runaway of the airport while an Air Peace aircraft from Lagos tried to and. According to him, the presence of the cows in the runaway prevented the aircraft from touching down for about 15 minutes. Governor Fayose hailed the pilot of the aircraft for his professionalism in handling the situation.
His words: “Today, while at the Akure Airport to board Air Peace commercial flight to Lagos, I witnessed cows taking over the Airport runway and preventing Aircraft No. 5NBQQ from landing for more than 15 minutes. Thanks to Captain Inyang for saving the lives of the passengers.”

Meanwhile, the management of Air Peace has confirmed the claims by Governor Fayose. Confirming the incident, Air Peace corporate communications manager, Mr. Chris Iwarah said: “We confirm that flight P4 7002 from Lagos had to delay landing into Akure Airport today (Saturday) when the pilot-in-command sighted cows on the runway at about 12.15pm. “On being alerted by control tower, aviation security personnel of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN AVSEC) quickly intervened and cleared the runway. “The flight was eventually cleared to land after about seven minutes. Our guests on board were all calm while the delay lasted. “The aircraft departed for Lagos at about 1.06 with full escort from FAAN security personnel.” Just recently, the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has raised concerns over the obstructions of roads by herdsmen and their cows in some parts of the country. The assistant corps marshal, of the FRSC, Nwaka Agnes, said there was need to enlighten herders on how their cattle should cross the roads, noting that there was no reason for anybody to endanger the lives of other road users. “It (obstruction of traffic by herders and their cows) is worrisome alright but then there is always room for dialogue. There should be more dialogue so that people will really understand that we really need to understand one another’s limit,” she said in an interview with journalists. | aerospace |

The other two Divisions being the National Standards Laboratory and the Division of Industrial Chemistry.
Work commenced at Fishermen’s Bend, Victoria in August 1939 and three buildings were ready for occupation in April 1940. These buildings were the administrative block, a workshop block of seven bays and a power station. Although upon its opening the Division had not yet received the main initial equipment, it nevertheless was already actively engaged in studies of various problems confronting the Australian aircraft industry. The Division of Industrial Chemistry was built next to Aeronautics.
The Division of Aeronautics was divided into four areas of research. These Sections being Aerodynamics, Structures and Materials, Engines and Fuels, and Instruments.
The Aerodynamics Section appointed G.N Patterson, an experienced aerodynamics researcher, as Officer-in-Charge whom had arrived from England in July 1939. With his assistant Research Officer T.F.C. Lawrence they quickly engaged on the design of a wind tunnel and other equipment for aerodynamic research. The design was completed by June 1940 but due to this equipment being highly specialised and unavailable commercially it was required to be individually manufactured.
Before placing manufacturing requests, a one-eight scale model of the wind tunnel was constructed at the Engineering School of the University of Melbourne with tests conducted to check the design. The aerodynamic efficiency obtained during these tests exceeded expectations and orders were then placed for the full sized version of the wind tunnel to be manufactured.
While awaiting the construction of the wind tunnel Professor Burstall of The University of Melbourne gave access to the University’s wind tunnel to allow the Division to start investigating certain aerodynamic problems of immediate importance for the defence of Australia.
The largest item to be built was a welded steel shell of the wind tunnel that was 105 feet long and 44 feet wide with a maximum cross section of 14 feet high by 18 feet wide. This shell was built by the Kelly & Lewis engineering firm in Melbourne. The airscrew and the 550 horsepower electric driving motor and the Ward Leonard control gear was constructed in England while the aerodynamic balance to measure the forces and moments on models being tested was made by an engineering firms in Melbourne to the design of the staff of the Aerodynamics Section.
To assist in the design of high speed military aircraft in Australia a new method was developed in obtaining high air speeds with low turbulence that was to enable speeds of about 400mph (640km/hr).
The wind tunnel became operational in 1941 and throughout the war years (and afterwards) it became an extremely important research asset and played a leading role in the development of Australian designed aircraft for the war effort. Although its findings and innovations filtered through to the commercial aviation industry, the wind tunnel was mainly recognised for its wartime role in providing essential services to keep the RAAF and the US Army Air Corps flying at a high level of efficiency.
In May 1949 with CSIR evolving to become CSIRO, the Division of Aeronautics was removed from CSIRO’s research role as the 1949 Science and Industry Act did not permit the conduct military and defence research.

The names of all three pilots killed in a mid-air collision over Zhytomyr Oblast were released by the Vasylkiv Tactical Aviation Brigade on Aug. 27.
They were Captain Andrii Pilshchykov, also known as "Juice," Major Viacheslav Minka, and Major Serhii Prokazin.
The Aug. 25 crash involved two L-39 training jets.
Juice, of the 40th Tactical Aviation Brigade, was the best-known aviator of the three. He had over 500 flight hours and numerous difficult assignments under his belt. He has been decorated multiple times.
He was active online, having over 14,000 followers on Twitter. He used his high profile to persuade Western allies to send F-16 fighters to Ukraine.
Minka was a Kyiv Oblast resident, who returned to aviation in 2015, as a result of Russia's invasion. He had over 200 flight hours and conducted a great deal of training.
Prokazin, who lived in Poltava Oblast, had over 100 operational flight hours. According to the brigade, he will be remembered for his smile and the ability to help with difficult situations.
The State Bureau of Investigations said that it has started a probe into the accident.
The bureau will investigate "the technical condition of the aircraft, compliance with the rules of preparation for flights," and the black boxes of the jets. | aerospace |

Half of his time on the International Space Station is over for Mathias Maurer. For former European Space Chief Jan Warner, the mission also has a political aspect in the midst of the Ukraine crisis.
After three good months in space, astronaut Matthias Maurer is clear: He’d like to go somewhere higher in space.
“Walking and exploring the moon will definitely remain a big dream – and of course I hope that dream come true,” the 51-year-old told German news agency DPA during the middle of his mission to the International Space Station (ISS). The European Space Agency astronaut, who traveled to humanity’s outpost on November 11 with three colleagues from NASA, is scheduled to return to Earth at the end of April.
“We still have work to do.”
Sarlander says he learned a lot in the lab at an altitude of about 400 km that he didn’t expect. “I actually thought you had more autonomy down the road.” But you need to support the ground teams “almost permanently” to carry out the trials. “We still have a bit of work to do on how to implement this on the Moon,” Maurer says.
For future missions to Mars, for example, “You have to think of something, because it can take up to 20 minutes for a radio message from Mars to reach Earth. And then of course another 20 minutes until you get the answer.” The Moon is only a few days away from the journey away from Earth – the Red Planet, however, is several months away.
Maurer is currently involved in about 150 experiments in the “space community”. For example, plants can be grown in zero gravity. An important attempt, also for flights to the Moon and Mars – to be able to produce fresh food on site. New materials are tested. “The experiments are going very well.” But he himself is only the “executor” and does not evaluate experiments – this is what scientists on Earth did, who “designed it and then sent it.”
“So far, almost all experiments have been successful,” says Volker Schmid, who is in charge of the mission at the German Aerospace Center (DLR). “Here and there were slight changes in the schedule, but that’s normal.” Halfway through, the focus was already on the planned field mission: Maurer is expected to work outdoors for several hours in April. “His job will be to prepare the European robotic arm for action,” Schmid says. Maurer’s three German predecessors on the International Space Station also had overseas missions.
Maurer says the so-called spacewalk is “still on the agenda”. “But as is so often the case in space travel, there are of course some question marks.” There is still work to be done for this to happen. “But I am very optimistic.”
Maurer feels ‘at home’
The 51-year-old from Oberthal still feels “at home on the International Space Station,” he said. “Actually, I don’t really miss anything.” Of course he would like to jump in the water and take a shower or eat fresh fruit and salad. But time passes so quickly. “This is unreasonable. I feel a bit nostalgic because I am in the middle of my mission.”
Former European Space Chief Jan Warner hopes Maurer’s enthusiasm will be contagious. “ESA’s flights are not about personal adventures, but people remain indispensable as a medium to dazzle and motivate,” says the former ESA Director-General. Humans can also describe the beauty, fragility and condition of the Earth more intensely than, say, a space probe.
Space travel has a political side
The current president of the German Academy of Sciences and Engineering points to another aspect: “Human space travel also has a geopolitical impact.” In the midst of the Ukraine crisis, Maurer is currently working with four Americans and two Russians on the International Space Station. “Cosmonauts from different countries bridge tensions on Earth.”
At the end of the week, Maurer completed 100 days on the International Space Station. The astronaut says what he first noticed is that it takes a certain amount of time to adjust to weightlessness. The brain needs “significantly more storage space” to find its way in three-dimensional space. “For normal work and thinking, you have a little less brain capacity than I originally thought.” That’s why I often make small mistakes in experiments at first. It was good for the ground crew to look “over his shoulder”.
On his 52nd birthday on March 18, he’s planning a delicious meal on the space station. On that day, three Russian cosmonauts are expected to reach Earth in the evening, so there will be ten of them. “Then I have to make sure that I still have enough to eat here. Of course I want to serve the best – a bit of Saarland.” | aerospace |

It has been over four months since June 1, 2019, when Transport Canada officially introduced the new drone regulations in Canada. However, there is still a great deal of misinformation on social media, as well as a common misunderstanding of the new drone regulations amongst the general public. The Canadian Drone Institute is unique and different in our academic approach because unlike some of our competitors, we are professional drone pilots as well as Transport Canada Airline Transport Pilots (ATP) and Transport Canada Commercial Ground school Instructors. In this article we cover our team's top 10 tips when flying your drone or RPA legally in Canadian Airspace.
Our Top 10 Tips To Avoid Incidents With Your Drone in Canada
The National Research Council in Ottawa, in consultation with Transport Canada and NavCanada has published the drone site selection tool to help determine whether you will need a Basic or Advanced certificate to fly in a specific geographical location in CanadaClick here to view the NRC Airspace Selection Tool
In Canada, there are 2 main categories of drone operation: Basic and Advanced. Each one has a different set of rules drone pilots must follow. The weight of your drone, distance from bystanders and airspace rules define your category. You can find your drone category here! With this tool, you can set your filter on the sidebar to Basic or Advanced operations.
2. VNC NavCanada Maps
NavCanada is our official aviation (drones included) navigational map supplier in Canada. It is good airmanship to have a current VNC map for the area(s) that you are flying your operation.
VNC maps may be ordered from NavCanada thought their website at NRC VNC Maps
The VFR Navigation Chart (VNC) is used by VFR pilots. It is also good airmanship for drone pilots to reference at low to medium altitudes and at low to medium airspeeds.
The chart displays aeronautical information and sufficient topographic detail to facilitate air navigation through the use of a unique colour scheme and layer tinting. There are 52 charts in the series. The scale is 1:500,000.
These maps will allow you to see your proximity to airports, aerodromes, heliports and Class F Restricted Airspace amongst other navigational hazards in your area of operation.
3. Plan Your Flight Operation
We should always create a Site Survey Plan for our area of flight operation. The following excerpt is from the Canadian Aviation Regulations or CARs:
Site Survey Plan
This is some basic information in regard to a Site Survey Plan taken from The Canadian Aviation Regulations section CARS 901.27
The best airmanship practise is to create a Site Survey Plan. We should determine that the site for take-off, launch, landing or recovery is suitable for the proposed operation by conducting a site survey that should take into account the following factors:
The type of airspace and the applicable regulatory requirements and the boundaries of the area of operation
What altitudes and routes to be used on the approach to and departure from the area of operation; What altitude and routes are to be used on the approach to and departure from the area of our operation. In Canada Manned Aviation generally operates at 500 feet above ground level, except when the operator has a waiver for fight below 500 AGL, i.e. low level power line inspection by Helicopter
We have a maximum of 400 AGL unless under a special SFOC. So the best practice is to use only the altitude you need for your operation I.e 200 feet AGL allowing a 300 feet separation from manned aviation. Safety and good airmanship.
Also take into account the location and height of obstacles, including wires, masts, buildings, cell phone towers and wind turbines, the proximity of manned aircraft operations, the proximity of aerodromes, airports and heliports, the predominant weather and environmental conditions for the area of operation and the horizontal distances from persons not involved in the operation (100 feet)
On location the use of any emergency equipment associated with the operation of the remotely piloted aircraft system and determine the maximum distance from the pilot the aircraft can travel without endangering aviation safety or the safety of any person.
4. Have your Emergency Phone Numbers for a Lost Link and for the Safety of People and Structures on the ground
In Canada and the US, call the applicable NavCanada FIC at the numbers listed below:
Halifax FIC: 1-866-541-4106
Québec FIC: 1-866-541-4105
London FIC: 1-866-541-4104
Winnipeg FIC: 1-866-541-4103
Edmonton FIC: 1-866-541-4102
Whitehorse FIC: 1-866-541-4107
Kamloops FIC: 1-866-541-4101
People and Structures Emergency Numbers
- Local EMS and Fire Departments
- Local Police
Transport Canada advises we check all numbers to ensure as best as we can that they are Direct Numbers for emergencies.
5. Use A Visual Observer in Your Operation
The new June 1st, 2019 Canadian Aviation Regulations allow the pilot in command to determine whether to use a visual observer. The Canadian Drone Institute recommends that a visual observer should always be used regardless of whether it is a rural, urban or airport operation.
6. Use a Pre-Flight and a Post-Flight Checklist
Professional drone pilots use a checklist the same way that pilots in manned aviation do. Why? Safety is important in your operation at all times! A checklist reflecting the RPAS System you are using ensures you always have a consistent preparation for all of your operating equipment.
7. NOTAMS Check For Your Area of Operation
NOTAMS are Notice(s) to AirMen that may effect your operation on the date and time you are scheduled to Fly. All Pilots must check NOTAMS prior to your operation for changes that may affect your drone operation!
The Canadian NOTAM Operating Procedures
As of October 10, 2019, NAV CANADA will be adopting the ICAO NOTAM Standards for all NOTAM. The Canadian NOTAM Operating Procedures (CNOP) is revised and published to provide information and guidance. The manual is available in PDF format and is free of charge!
You will need to access this website through the Collaborative Flight Planning Services (CFPS) instead of the Aviation Weather Web Site (AWWS) where they are currently found.Search Active NOTAM Canadian NOTAM Operating Procedures: Current Issue Future Issue
The Canadian NOTAM Operating Procedures is amended once a year or as required. The next issue will be posted no later than 10 days prior to the effective date.
8. METARS Weather Forecasts For Your Area
METARS is Navcanmada’s Aviation weather forecasting page. You should always check for significant weather conditions that may affect your drone operation. Remember, professional drone pilots always check the weather as a safety measure!
9. Pre Flight Communications Review
The Canadian Drone Institute recommends that a Visual Observer is always a good practise of professional airmanship. Given that, we should always have a plan and a method and process to execute that plan in our operation. Effective pre-flight communication ensures the safety of your team, people in proximity and structures that are in your area of operation
10. Be familiar with the Drone Safety awareness website published by Transport Canada
The Drone Safety Website clearly outlines the questions you will have in regard to operating Drones in Canadian airspace under the new June 01, 2019 Canadian Aviations Regulations.
These guidelines were written by Greg Davis the Founder of The Canadian Drone Institute.
Greg is a retired Transport Canada Senior Commercial Pilot and a Class 2 Commercial Flight Instructor with a Class 1 Instrument Rating from Transport Canada

Michael E. Gonzales
C. Wayne Williams Alumni Award
Michael E. Gonzales, ’04, retired from the U.S. Air Force as a master sergeant and returned to his hometown of Parker, Ariz., where he now gives back to his community as a medical caseworker for the Colorado River Indian Tribes.
Gonzales enlisted in the Air Force in 1980 and began his 25-year military career as a missile facilities technician. After a year as a civilian Air Force employee, he returned to Parker and enlisted in the Army National Guard where he served as an ammunition storage specialist. Continuing his service, he then went back to the Air Force in Security Forces and eventually was cross-trained in the information management field.
Working on his educational goals, he earned two associate degrees—one in security administration in 1995 and another in information management in 1997 that earned him an Eagle Grant from the Air Force Association for academic excellence. Gonzales transferred to the 109th Airlift Wing in 2000 and started work on a bachelor’s degree the following year, but the events of 9/11 interrupted his education when he was deployed. Eventually, he continued his studies and completed his degree at Excelsior College.
After retiring from the service in 2006, he became a high school aerospace science instructor, instilling the Air Force core values of Integrity First, Service Before Self, and Excellence in All We Do to his AFJROTC unit. Several of his cadets went into various branches of the armed forces and some were accepted into the service academies.
He left his educational career to help others as an employee of different government agencies before returning home to take on the responsibilities of a medical caseworker. “Excelsior College educates us to live and share life,” he said. | aerospace |

With some unsure reservation for the correctness of whether the cold atmosphere on Titan allows "Titannauts" to go around dressed like "Eskimos", or that a heated suit with helmet is needed for longer periods outside a habitat, this article gives a good argument for Titan being the only suitable location for human habitationh in the Solar System. This, provided that the dwarf planet Ceres in the asteroid belt, has no atmosphere, nor liquids on its surface. If it has and being on half the distance to Titan, Ceres would be the preferred location instead. We will know next year, when the Dawn probe reaches it for a closer look.
There is a far stronger argument for human habitation on Titan than mentioned in this article, an argument that actually rules out Mars all together. The crucial thing is that our energy technology would work with high-power systems on Titan, while it wouldn't on Mars, that doesn't provide any cooling of significance. The reason is that our high-power energy technology (Mwats) needs massive cooling, no problem on Titan, impossible on Mars. Read more about it here: www.destination-titan.com | aerospace |

A remarkable achievement where clear and confident leadership contributed hugely to success. The foundation of this success lay in the single positive belief that a huge challenge could be overcome.
Apollo 13 was the seventh manned mission in the American Apollo space programme and the third intended to land on the Moon. On April 11, 1970, at 13:13 CST, the craft launched from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Commander James A. Lovell, Jr., Fred W. Haise, Jr., and Commander John L. “Jack” Swigert were the astronauts on board. Ken Mattingly, originally intentioned to be the third member of the crew, was left behind. Unfortunately, he’d been exposed to German measles and had to be replaced. It was actually a good thing for Apollo 13 that Ken Mattingly was still on the ground. His expertise would soon help save his crewmates.
Immediately following its launch, it seemed as if everything was normal with Apollo 13. But almost fifty-six hours into the flight—at about 10:06 p.m. EST, over 200,000 miles from Earth, on the 13th of April, 1970—Apollo 13 got into serious trouble. The astronauts heard a loud bang, which perhaps was a small meteorite strike or malfunction that had catastrophic consequences for the craft. The astronauts observed a problem with the power supply and the loss of a significant quantity of the oxygen supply held in the storage tanks. After about three minutes, the Supply Module’s oxygen supply was entirely depleted. Because the fuel cell depends on the oxygen to generate power, the spacecraft was now entirely dependent on the Command Module’s limited-duration battery power and water. The crew was forced to shut down the Command module completely to conserve any power for re-entry—the prospects looked bleak.
The lives of the crew were in serious danger. The severely damaged Service Module had lost its ability to produce electricity, oxygen, and water. Swigert, followed by Lovell, radioed Mission Control the now famous line: “Houston, we’ve had a problem.”
Back in Houston, Mission Control and Ken Mattingly frantically worked together to find a way to get the crew back to Earth. It didn’t look hopeful, wasn’t easy. The answer to this problem was going to be really complicated.
In the meantime, with their oxygen being depleted, the crew in space had to power down their Command Module (“Odyssey”), power up the Lunar Module (“Aquarius”), and make sure they had working air lines. Aquarius would not take them to the Moon this trip, but thankfully it would help to save their lives.
Solving this problem on the ground meant that flight controllers needed to develop a mission-saving system that could be replicated in space. Simple items, such as cardboard and tape, were used to create what was dubbed “the mailbox,” which saved the astronauts. They did it—one hour before re-entry, the crew jettisoned Aquarius. It helped save their lives but would not survive a re-entry.
Apollo 13 landed in the Pacific Ocean 142 hours, 54 minutes, and 41 seconds after lift-off. The USS Iwo Jima recovered the men and Odyssey. Most of this particular mission had occurred under extremely dangerous, life-threatening conditions.
The teamwork between NASA’s Houston team and the flight crew members was absolutely brilliant. An example of leadership at it’s best. Connected, clear, calm thinking by Johnson Space Center personnel, working under unbelievable pressure, helped to save the mission and the lives of the crew.
Jim Lovell later said:
I think one of the things that showed the people of the world was that even if there is a great catastrophe, good leadership and teamwork, initiative and perseverance—these things make for getting an almost certain catastrophe into a successful recovery.
Returning the crew safely was one of NASA’s finest moments. Without the belief that it could be done, a clear plan, and, crucially, the confidence that this plan could be carried out, the Apollo 13 crew would not have survived. If the team did not believe they could save the crew, then they wouldn’t have done what was necessary to save their lives. That story always amazes me because it shows the power of the human brain, the resource it is against seemingly insurmountable problems.

Best Entry-Level Drone
With lengthy battery life, a durable cordless connection, and 4K video clip, the DJI Mini 2 is the very best drone you’ll locate for less than $500.
Maintained 4K video camera
Raw as well as JPG picture modes
Lengthy trip time
More powerful motors as well as link than Mavic Mini
General practitioners as well as other security features
No FAA enrollment required
Still no shade profiles for JPGs and video
Leaves out barrier avoidance and also HDR
Doesn’t consist of ActiveTrack or Hyperlapse
Why We Picked It
The DJI Mini 2 is the most effective drone you can obtain for less than $500. It sports a maintained, three-axis gimbal 4K video camera that likewise snaps 12MP pictures, plus it includes GPS and Find My Drone features. Its 249g takeoff weight means you can fly it without handling FAA registrationóyou simply require to pass an on-line knowledge examination. We also such as the nearly half-hour flight times, though we wish DJI had worked challenge detection right into this version.
That It’s For
The Mini 2 is the drone to get if you’re just beginning and also intend to record ultra-smooth 4K30 footage from the air or take aerial photosóRaw format is offered for photogs who such as to post-process. It’s extremely stable, even when flying near the 400-foot altitude limitation, and also streams live video clip from the electronic camera to a smartphone application. Budget-minded buyers can look to the DJI Mini SE, a near duplicate with a 2.7 K camera as well as JPG-only stills, as a $300 option.
DJI Mini 3 Pro
The very best drone for the majority of people
Weight: 249gController: Yes (readily available without) Video camera resolution: 12.1 MPFlight time: 34 minutesRange: 8km-12km
FACTORS TO BUY
+ Impressive low-light efficiency
+ Valuable automatic flight settings
+ Barrier avoidance sensors
REASONS TO PREVENT
– Pricy for a small drone
The DJI Mini 3 Pro is the most powerful and, in our book, best compact drone you can purchase. It has a premium price tag, but the Mini 3 Pro is a massive upgrade on the Mini 2 (see listed below), if you can validate the added price. For the cash, you get a much superior electronic camera, challenge evasion sensing units and a series of functions that you ‘d generally only locate on bigger drones.
In our tests, the Mini 3 Pro’s 12.1 MP 1/1.3- inch sensor created superb image quality with impressive high ISO handling. You’ll locate extremely little sound right as much as the maximum ISO 6400, while the mix of a brilliant f/1.7 lens and dual indigenous ISO technology means low-light performance is impressive for such a little drone. The drone’s tri-directional obstacle avoidance worked well throughout screening and also we especially liked its ability to fire in picture without cropping. If you can extend to the brand-new DJI RC controller, that’s the very best backpack-friendly package for airborne photography as well as video clip, bar none.
DJI Air 2S
Ideal overall drone
With its huge 1-inch photo sensing unit, the DJI Air 2S is able to take great-looking pictures and also video clips from the skies. It’ll shoot video clip at up to 5.4 k resolution, while still photos can be absorbed DNG raw layout at up to 20 megapixels. The drone has a range of smart trip settings too that makes it particularly easy to capture cinematic footage also when you’re out hiking on your own, consisting of a mode that follows you as you go through capitals and a setting that instantly circles around a point of interest.
One thing it doesn’t do is flip the cam over to allow you fire in portrait alignment. That’s a shame, as it suggests that catching vertical video for TikTok or Instagram Reels is harder as you’ll need to chop your video clip down the center, losing a lot of resolution in the process. If that’s a concern for you, look towards DJI’s Mini 3 Pro.
It’s as easy to fly as others in the DJI variety and it has a series of challenge sensing units to aid maintain it airborne and prevent it plouwing headlong right into a tree or a wall surface. Its optimum flight time of as much as 31 mins is strong for a drone of this dimension yet it can be acquired with a bundle of extra batteries for those of you that intend to record more video footage from the skies.
Its folding design makes it rather easy to suit a digital photography backpack, yet it’s literally bigger as well as larger than DJI’s ‘Mini’ array, so maintain that in mind if you desire the lightest version to handle your journeys. But its mix of flight time, automated flying modes and also exceptional picture quality make it a superb all-rounder that’s well worth considering. Read our DJI Air 2S testimonial.
DJI Mavic 3
The ultimate prosumer drone
Cam: 4/3 20MP sensing unit & 1/2-inch 12MP sensorBattery: 5000mAh/ up to 46 mins flight timeVideo resolution: Up to 5.1 KFrame prices: 5.1 K as much as 50fps/ 4K up to

FACTORS TO BUY.
+ Superb picture high quality.
+ Lengthy battery life.
+ Adjustable aperture.
FACTORS TO AVOID.
– Not aimed at newbies.
If youíre an expert photographer or videographer seeking the greatest possible picture high quality in a portable and light-weight drone, then look no further than the DJI Mavic 3. This drone features a double camera with a huge 4 Thirds 20MP sensing unit as well as flexible aperture generally cam offering superb photo high quality for stills and also video.
With video possible at as much as 5.1 K in basic as well as Raw layouts, stills in Raw and JPEG format and various other innovative functions itís a drone thatís targeted at specialists. The Mavic 3’s second cam is far more limited, nonetheless, and also can just fire images in JPEG as well as typical video at 4K 30fps in vehicle mode, but it does offer a crossbreed zoom of up to 24x.
The Mavic 3 features a folding style for very easy transportation and the two versions available weigh 895g and 899g. The standard design offers 8GB of interior storage space, while the a lot more expensive and also slightly larger Cine model consists of an internal 1TB SDD with assistance for Apple ProRes 422 HG video recording. Both versions also feature a microSD card port to broaden onboard storage space.
This drone is DJIís front runner ëconsumerí design and supplies as much as 46 mins of flight time with several exceptionally useful safety features on offer. The Mavic 3 uses multi vision sensing units to sense obstacles, as well as the Advanced Pilot Assistance System (APAS) 5.0, which utilizes six fish-eye sensing units as well as 2 wide-angle sensing units to sense barriers in all instructions. When enabled, the drone can be set to fly autonomously around challenges when spotted or to brake.
Skydio 2+ Drone.
The Skydio 2+ (8/10, WIRED Recommends) has the best collision-avoidance and also navigation system of any type of drone in this overview. If you’re looking for a drone that can follow your mtb through the trees or weave around canyon walls without your frenzied guidance, this is the one for you. With a 27-minute flight time and also a 6-mile array, it’s not quite a suit for our leading choice, yet it’s plenty for the majority of people. The main factor this isn’t our leading pick is the electronic camera. The 1/2.3- inch sensing unit can 4K footage at 60 frames per 2nd, but it’s not quite as wonderful as the 1-inch sensor in the Air Two and also Evo Lite+. Video clip pros must likewise note there’s no D-log assistance.
Still, if you can live without D-log and aren’t troubled by the slower sensing unit, this drone is capable of flying through scenarios various other drones can’t. For some usage cases, that might be far better than a having a larger sensing unit.

The little Evo Nano+ is a sterling selection of cam drone for both beginners as well as prosumers, as well as any person that wants to enjoy the thrills of top notch aerial cinematography on a family member budget plan and without the need to apply for a special permit to fly it. Actually, we like it a lot we granted it Best Drone at the 2022 T3 Awards (although it’s a seriously close-run thing with the DJI Mini 3 Pro). Head to our Autel Evo Nano+ drone review for the full low-down, but here’s a peek at the standout attributes.
The Plus boasts a large f1.9 aperture and also RYYB filtering which means it will shoot magnificent video in low-light problems, as well as in full 4K video and 50MP for stills. This dinky drone clocks in at under 250g, which indicates you wonít need to jump through as numerous lawful hoops prior to requiring to the skies. Elsewhere, there’s smooth trip (although the weight classification suggests it can not deal with really windy weather), three-way challenge avoidance, and also approximately 28 mins’ trip time on a solitary fee. In regards to video clip quality, this writer still chooses the sharpness and quality of the Nano+, which is exemplary for a drone of this dimension and also weight. Because respect, we believe it’s the perfect drone for amateur film-makers as well as any person looking for a video camera drone thatís weightless as well as small sufficient to slip in a layer pocket.
The Evo Nano+ saw a large price decrease when the DJI Mini 3 Pro released in May 2022, which means that at time of writing, the Premium Package is the same price as the Mini 3ís DJI RC choice. Nevertheless, the Autel bundle consists of 3 batteries and also lots of spare props while the DJI Mini 3 Pro includes simply the drone and also its brand-new (admittedly fantastic) RC hand controller.
AUTEL EVO NANO.
The very same drone as the Evo+ yet with a lower-specced camera.
Battery life: 28 minsTransmitter array: 6.2 milesMax electronic camera resolution: 4K/48 megapixels.
REASONS TO BUY.
+ Open up A1 course suitable.
+ Three-way obstacle evasion.
+ Supreme leaflet.
+ Small as well as light.
REASONS TO AVOID.
– Bag won’t healthy controller with joysticks affixed.
The petite Autel Evo Nano is the slightly less high-spec variation of the Nano+ at number 1, but it’s s till a spectacular drone ñ and simply pips the additionally excellent DJI Mini 2 in our best drone ranking. Like the DJI Mini 2, the Evo Nano considers under the CAAís magic 250g limitation which implies itís a doddle to transport and also you donít have to register it for a next-level permit.
Nonetheless, unlike the Mini 2, this one includes three-way obstacle noticing ñ an useful safety feature for both newbies as well as amateur aerial videographers. The cam isn’t as impressive as you’ll find on the Evo Nano Plus version, but it still punches way above this drone’s weight course, with a 1/2-inch sensor that will fire 4K video clip as well as fantastic 48MP stills with a lot of wow factor.
The hand controllerís well made, and we’re specific followers of the perfectly heavy gimbal wheel which allows for actually smooth, progressive camera movement with no unexpected lurches. One more cool attribute is the pin-sharp 2.7 K online feed to the phoneís screen, something that very few camera drones are capable of. In our Autel Evo Nano testimonial we noted it was very reputable, very easy to arrangement and fly. Additionally, it can be found in 4 different colours ñ red, orange, grey and white. What’s not to like?
Lowepro DroneGuard BP 250.
The best drone knapsack.
Loweproís drone knapsacks are tailored to private drone models, which means youíll discover an area for every single important. Theyíre comfortable to use, also.
Drone knapsacks provide a spot for each and every piece of a set to remain snugly in place; as a result, they make it simpler for you to find products without having to dig with a number of equipment, as well as they safeguard your devices from damages. That tail end is specifically important for batteries, which have the possible to burst right into flame if you leave them banging around. We took into consideration 22 choices and tested 4 finalists by suitable in 3 DJI drones of differing sizes as well as a complete package of accessoriesóincluding a controller, batteries, a battery charger, props, electronic cameras, and a laptop computer. As a result, we think Loweproís drone bags are your best bet due to the fact that they each provide the best fit and organization for your equipment while still being fairly comfy to bring when completely filled. (We examined the Lowepro DroneGuard BP 250, which is made specifically for DJI Mavic drones. However any knapsack in the DroneGuard or QuadGuard collection will certainly execute similarly.).
The whole front of the BP 250 zips available to expose the major area. Movable dividers develop smaller areas for core gear, such as the drone and its controller, and also they allow you see to it the batteries are securely cuddled in. For good step, a band holds the drone securely in position, as well as a special foam block sits between the drone controllerís two joysticks for a more-custom fit. The front cover has rubber bands, which are perfect for holding additional propellers or protecting cables (to maintain them from tangling). In our examinations, the major area was big sufficient that we might additionally fit an FPV headset or a taken apart electronic camera body as well as lens.
An overhead photo of our pick for ideal drone backpack on the ground with its main pocket open. Inside, you can see many compartments and pockets developed for drone devices.
The BP 250 is personalized for DJI Mavic drones, so there is an apparent place for each of the components and devices. Image: Signe Brewster.
Three various other compartments fit a camera and a tablet, level products such as prop guards, and also bigger things such as a cam or an FPV headset. A compartment on among the front shoulder straps fits a phone. The front of the backpack is additionally covered in bent straps that you can use to affix a drone, a tripod, or various other equipment with bungee cords, and two side pockets fit water or sunscreen containers.
Although the BP 250 has an apparent place for everything, its divider panels are just so flexibleófitting a put together DSLR, for instance, into the main compartment of the BP 250 is impossible. That makes this bag, in addition to the other DroneGuard and QuadGuard backpacks, a fantastic choice if you prepare to utilize the backpack with only a particular drone. But if you like a backpack you can tailor to fit several drone versions, we suggest the Top Design Everyday Backpack 30L.
DJI Mavic Air 2S.
Finest mid-range drone.
1-inch 22-mm wide-angle camera.
As much as 31 minutes flight time.
Max 5.4 K at 30fps video.
This is the drone for people who want greater than the Mini 2 needs to provide, but do not want to get a Mavic 3. This drone is perfect even for the most demanding premium consumer.
For the rate, the Mavic Air 2S is exceptional. You get a flying, stabilized 5.4 K video camera that can remain in the skies for near thirty minutes, as well as capture outstanding movie footage.
The only point this drone is missing out on is side sensing units. That stated, with mindful traveling, that does not need to be an issue at all.
Front as well as review challenge avoidance sensing units.
Exceptional video camera high quality.
Decent flight time.
No side barrier avoidance sensing units.
Fairly a large drone, most definitely not something that will certainly match a pocket.
EXO Cinemaster 2.
Range: 2,500 feet|Max rate: 27 miles per hour|Max trip time: 28 minutes|Cam resolution: 11 megapixel still images, 4K video clip at 30 fps.
Best for: Airborne photography as well as videography on a spending plan.
The EXO Cinemaster 2 is a terrific option for aerial photography as well as videographyóand it doesnít price a fortune. The electronic camera is placed on a 3-axis gimbal for maximum control, and it fires 4K video. Still photo captures go to 11 megapixels (alright, however on the lower end of the resolution scale).
When your focus is on aerial photography, pilot the drone at speeds up to 13 miles per hour, but when you wish to have some enjoyable, boost the speed up to 27 mph. In either case, the drone can track moving things or circle efficiently around objects while recording. A practical pre-flight setting allows you set GPS factors on a map and also have the drone comply with a specific route, which frees you in the moment to focus extra on what youíre recording than on aviation. If you want added batteries, EXO sells 2 for $60, a reasonably reasonable expenditure so you can fit more flights right into your day.
Fairly affordable additional batteries.
Includes the Cinemaster 2 controller and additional collection of props.
Less-than-average flight time.
Brief trip variety. | aerospace |

Today, the Pentagon declared that AEVEX Aerospace will manufacture and deliver over 121 Phoenix Ghost Tactical Unmanned Aerial Systems on behalf of the United States.
During a subsequent briefing, John Kirby, the spokesperson for the Pentagon, revised that description by stating that the Phoenix Ghost had been “created prior to” Russia’s invasion of Ukraine on February 24. Earlier today, a high-ranking defense official mentioned that the Air Force swiftly developed the new unmanned aircraft “in direct response to the specific needs of Ukraine.”
“It was developed for a set of requirements that very closely match what the Ukrainians need right now in Donbas,” he said.
The Ghost Phoenix is a single-use, low-cost drone that behaves like a loitering munition, ramming itself into a target before flying around in the airspace. This means that it is likely designed to “punch” a number of different types of targets. An official from Ukraine said that Ghost Phoenix is similar to the previously delivered unmanned Switchblade systems.
The official mentioned that the new classification system is being cited, and I am not only able to understand more about its capabilities, but also the differences in scope of capabilities for Ghost Phoenix.
Name, it’s called Ghost Phoenix, but the new system has noted that.Output: The name of it is Ghost Phoenix, however, the recently implemented system has acknowledged this information.
The Air Force refused to provide any comments regarding the establishment of Phoenix Ghost, redirecting all inquiries to the Pentagon.
AEVEX Aerospace’s involvement in the creation and production of Phoenix Ghost is also unclear, as the defense official has given limited information.
The individual who responded to the phone call informed Breaking Defense, “We do not have any remarks regarding the matter you are inquiring about,” however, Breaking Defense contacted the company’s headquarters in Solana Beach, California, with the intention of obtaining additional information. When questioned directly about Phoenix Ghost (Breaking Defense had identified itself as a media representative but had not specifically inquired about Phoenix Ghost), the AEVEX representative reiterated her lack of comment.
AEVEX, a recognized leader in airborne full-spectrum solutions intelligence, fabricates and deploys mission systems or drones to collect and exploit data. They have extensive experience in operating both unmanned and manned aircraft intelligence.
AEVEX, on March 4th, was one of more than 50 companies that received an indefinite/indefinite quantity contract from the Navy to meet emerging and new requirements, including areas such as the integration of intelligence and control command, airborne systems integration, landing and control traffic air systems, special mission communications solutions, integrated air and ship warfare systems, and combat identification and integration systems, with the Phoenix Ghost.
Additionally included are: the most recent $800 million weapons package declared by President Joe Biden today, the custom-made new unmanned aerial vehicle is merely one component.
The Pentagon stated that the most recent set of cannons, along with a previous shipment from April 13, “offers sufficient artillery systems to outfit five battalions.” Since the invasion by Russia commenced on Feb. 24, the Biden administration has supplied approximately $3.4 billion in security aid for Ukraine. | aerospace |

It's to mark 20 years since the iconic aircraft's final flight.
Manchester aviation fans will be able to tuck into a lavish banquet-style dinner beneath the wings of an old Concorde plane next month.
In what is a bid to properly mark the 20th anniversary of the final Concorde flight to depart the Northern hub, Manchester Airport has announced its plans to host a special celebration under the wings of the the iconic aircraft at its Runway Visitor Park.
Tickets are now on sale, and available for the general public to get their hands on.
The supersonic aircraft famously caused a stir when it first flew into Manchester all the way back in 1980, with thousands of people lining the streets and parking up on the roads around the airport to catch a glimpse.
Its final commercial flight from Manchester took place on 22 October 2003, and then, just one week later, the flagship aircraft in British Airways’ Concorde fleet touched down in our city for one last time.
The aircraft was flown in to be put on display at the airport, where it remains to this day.
The black-tie event to celebrate the plane’s 20th year will start with a drinks reception in the Concorde hangar, before guests are seated for a four-course meal, Manchester Airport explains.
Soprano vocalist Gemma Ashley will provide the musical entertainment on the night, while diners will also get to hear exclusive accounts from former Concorde pilot, Captain John Tye, as well as Concorde’s most frequent flyer, Fred Finn, before getting the chance to board the aircraft themselves for a tour.
The evening will then be rounded-off with a demonstration of Concorde’s famous nose droop.
“Concorde is an iconic aircraft,” Runway Visitor Park’s Manager, Paul Emblow, commented as the anniversary event was announced.
“Its story is intrinsically linked with the story of Manchester Airport, and of the Runway Visitor Park, as for most of its years of active service, Concorde was a regular visitor to Manchester and its iconic silhouette even appeared in the airport’s former logo, such was its resonance with passengers and planespotters.
“The Runway Visitor Park now provides a permanent home for British Airways’ flagship G-BOAC, which transported members of the Royal Family among other famous faces.
“It’s the perfect setting to celebrate the anniversary of its retirement.”

The St. Joseph Chamber of Commerce assisted in helping this project become a reality.
Van Am is working on landing gear parts for the next generation of Lockheed Martin Sikorsky’s future vertical lift aircraft called the Raider X. The Raider X is a finalist in the U.S. Army’s future attack reconnaissance helicopters. In addition, Van Am is working with other major aerospace companies on the development of parts for the main and nose landing gear of aircraft. The parts the company has won are close tolerance, complex titanium and exotic steel, increasing the total skillset and defining Van Am as a supplier of high-precision and complex components for the aerospace industry.
The prototype projects will grow the already skilled Van Am workforce team by three with an average annual wage of $48,000. Another expansion will be required as the company transitions from prototype to full production which is expected to create additional new jobs.
This week Buchanan County commissioners presented Van Am with a check for $30,000 to assist with the cost of cybersecurity requirements for the company to be able to work on the projects.
Van Am has made a capital investment of about $320,000 in new equipment and will spend an approximate additional $60,000 on cybersecurity requirements necessary to be a supplier in the defense industry. | aerospace |

08 May 2013
Aerospace giant Boeing has opened a research and development centre in Australia, its largest R&D facility outside the United States.
In a move that underpins Australia’s reputation for innovation, Boeing invested heavily in the Boeing Research & Technology Australia facility in Port Melbourne, Victoria.
Minister for Climate Change, Industry and Innovation Greg Combet officially opened the centre and highlighted its scope for expanded collaboration with Australia’s research bodies and institutions.
“This new technology centre will further enhance Boeing's R&D capabilities as well as its collaboration with local organisations including universities, the CSIRO and the Defence Science and Technology Organisation," Mr Combet said.
The technology centre signals a win-win proposition. It gives Boeing access to the best solutions to aerospace manufacturing challenges in Australia, where Boeing has its biggest presence outside the US. The upgrade also enhances Australia’s global reputation for research.
"Boosting innovation through R&D is the best way to keep Australian industry internationally competitive, with Boeing Australia having been a significant contributor to, and a beneficiary of, Australian R&D," he said in a statement.
Mr Combet said composite materials, structures and robotics technologies developed in Australia are being used in Boeing's new 787 Dreamliner, one of the world's most advanced commercial aircraft.
In its Port Melbourne plant, Boeing manufactures composite moveable trailing edge wing surfaces in a long-term contract valued at about $4 billion over 20 years.
The Boeing Company is the world’s largest manufacturer of commercial jetliners and military aircraft. It is headquartered in Chicago and listed on the New York Stock Exchange where it is capitalised at about US$71.5 billion. Its Boeing Australia division employs 3000 people in 27 locations across five wholly owned Boeing subsidiaries. The company is also represented here by several other organisations, including Boeing Research & Technology Australia. | aerospace |

AD-500 5-seat “air car” invested by Nanjing Light Aircraft Co., Ltd. and successfully developed by Nanjing University of Aerospace, the official/business aircraft has been in the favor of the insiders. In addition, the “Haiyan” light plane produced by Shenyang Zhongti Light Plane Co., Ltd., EV-97 two-seat ultralight plane jointly and successfully by GAIC and Czech EV Co., Ltd. and DA-20two-seat all-composite-material light plane produced with the cooperation of Shandong Binzhou Dagao Air City and Austria Diamond Corp., etc. have laid a solid technical foundation for the rapid development of the light planes of our country.
(2) Forecasting of development of the general aviation industry
According to the experts’ forecasting, because the low airspace of our country will be opened and there will be less and less policy limits, the market of light planes will greatly grow. By 2020, China will have had 10,000 general planes and the annual general flight hours will have been gradually increased to 2 million flight hours and most of the hours will have been used for training of pilots, public affairs and tourism, etc. Calculated according to the average minimum 1 million yuan of each plane, the minimum volume in the market will be more than 10 billion yuan. In addition, the the training market for the flying instruction will be very big. At present, the ownership of small planes in China is less than 0.1% of that in the US. The use of the small planes to carry out the sightseeing tourism is another major market of the general aviation. A lot of companies in the aviation sector in the world forecast that China will become the second largest civil aviation market following the US in the world and the market volume of the general aviation and the industries promoted by it will be very big in the future 20 years.
1) Agricultural and forestry operation
According to the forecasting of the agricultural and forestry departments, there are 1/4 of more than 66.67 million hectares of barren mountains, wasteland and barren sand suitable to forest planting which are suitable to air seeding and afforestation. The cost of air seeding and afforestation is only 1/5 of that of the artificial afforestation. A plane can complete 0.1-0.2 million mu afforestation area by air seeding in a day, equal to the workload of about 1000-2000 laborers. In the current situation where great efforts are made to advocate the environmental protection and agricultural industrialization, the great potential of the general aviation should be seen. At present, the demand of the agricultural and forestry production for the general aviation is blooming day by day and the contradiction between the supply and the demand is prominent. There has been lack of 30-40 aircraft in the three provinces of Northeast China each year in the recent years; In Beijing where the agricultural aviation has been carried out well, the wheat area suitable to the aviation operation is about 2 million mu, but the area suitable to the aviation operation was only 0.8 million mu in 1997. The annual air seeding area in Shanxi is about 5 million mu and it is about 1.6 million mu in Hebei and all of them are just partially met.
2) Industrial market
The application of the general aviation in the industry is very wide, including the maritime and land oil logistic service, aviation magnetic survey, remote sensing, forest fire prevention, maritime anti-smuggling, aerogeophysical prospecting and aerial photography, etc. In order to meet the demands of the basic and previous work of the national economic construction, the aviation photography in the new technical conditions in the whole country will be carried out, the prospecting and development of various mineral resources, the construction of some reserve bases of oil and natural gas in the northwest and Xinjiang, etc. and the acceleration of the foreign cooperation of the offshore oil will promote the continuous expansion of the demands for aerial photography, aerogeophysical prospecting and land and maritime oil services, etc.
During the “11th Five-Year Plan”, our country has comprehensively carried out the aerial photography flight of the 1: 50000 topographical map; the department of geology and mineral resources has established the 2nd-generation aeromagnetic map that will be used in the 1:1000000 aeromagnetic surveys across the country under the new technical conditions; in 2010, the country carried out the construction of the reserve bases of oil and natural gas in Xinjiang, etc. The acceleration of the foreign cooperative development of the offshore oil will promote the continuous expansion of the demand for the land and maritime services. The hydropower construction will be transferred from the plain in the east to the mountainous region in the southwest where the terrain is strategically important and difficult to access, with the inconvenient traffic, so the helicopters can be used to carry out some construction work such as erecting and stringing, etc. of the powe transmission lines. In addition, the traffic in the west will be rapidly developed, the highways and railways will be chosen, the urban areas will be planned and the traffic will be managed, etc. All these will provide the broad market for the development of the general aviation. The aerial photographic area of China reaches 11.93 million km2 and the total length of the aerial photogrammetry line is 2587km. With the continuous development of some sciences and technologies such as GPS, high-altitude photography and computer graphics, etc., the use of aviation for remote sensing and aerial survey has been far more economical than the surface detection means. The national highways operating guidance map of the US can be renewed once within 20 days, which is benefited from the application of the aerial survey means. China is entering the traffic infrastructural construction in a large scale and the publishing period of maps cannot catch up with the construction time of highways. If the aerial survey technology is taken to resolve the complex geomorphological mapping problems, the contribution to the traffic department in the building of roads will be very remarkable every year. In the aerial monitoring flight, including the ocean monitoring, customs monitoring and monitoring of all the oil and gas pipelines and various cables, the efficiency of taking the multiple helicopters and gyroplanes is much higher than that of taking the artificial force, vehicles and ships, etc., so the general aviation has the irreplaceable advantages. In the forest fire prevention missions, the light plane equipped with the infrared induction system can easily find the fire point like a cigarette end and transmit the detailed information to the headquarters at the first time to win the time for firefighting. However, all these are blank in China.
3) Aviation tourism
Statistics show that the proportion of tourism in the international general aviation flight hours is about 58% every year, but it is only 3.8% in our country. Nandaihe cooperated with Tangshan Air Force Base to operate a Y-5 which made profits of about 0.6 million yuan in the tourist time in the summer in 1993; a four-seat water plane in Sichuan charges 300 yuan for the sightseeing flight for only 10 minutes every time; calculated according to its investment of 0.6 million yuan, all the investment will be recovered within 3 months; Heilongjiang General Aviation Co., Ltd. used Mi-8 for the air sightseeing flight above Taiyang Island, Harbin in 1996. It went on for 1 month, 213 sorties were carried out, loading 4903 person times and the income is 3.88 million yuan; in September, 1998, Shanghai Jiaoda Guofei Aviation Service Co., Ltd. used a Bell-212 helicopter to open two air sightseeing lines to Pudong and around Shanghai, the time was 15 minutes and 25 minutes, respectively and nearly a hundred passengers were received every day and the tickets sold out during the National Day Holidays. According to the incomplete statistics, there are about 10 air sightseeing projects in the key scenic tourist spots in the whole country and the average ticket price is 80 yuan/person time/10 minutes. The annual received person times of the national-level tourist spots are more than 1 million. If 1% of them buy the air sightseeing tickets, there will be 10000 person times, so there are the sufficient consumers; therefore, the direct benefits of the air sightseeing businesses are remarikable. With the protection of the ecological environment and the further development of the tourist resources taken into account, the adoption of the general planes in many places can not only save the land but also provide the rapid and comfortable transport services, so it should have the big market share.
4) Business flight
The business aviation is part of the general aviation. Because it has some advantages such as safety, time saving, high efficiency, flexibility and comfort, etc., it has become the most ideal travel mode in many fields such as economic construction, businesses and trade as well as administrative management, etc. According to the incomplete statistics, there were about 200 sorties of overseas business planes to China in 1996 and there were more than 1000 business planes taking off from Beijing Capital International Airport in 1997. There are nearly 17800 business planes in the world, of which 60% are in the US. The business planes of the US can take off and land in 3500 airports, which are 10 times the usable airports of the airliners. Estimated according to the fact that the national income of China is only 1% of that of the US, there should be 100 business planes in China. In addition, China is a big country, a large area is in the economically underdeveloped region, the current distribution of civil airports and density of flight can be far from meeting the demands. At present, there are only 139 airports for takeoff and landing of planes. The business aviation of China has been just started. There are only a few enterprises which prepare the business planes by themselves.
5) Emergency rescue market to be developed
The emergency rescue usually includes 24h emergency rescue service, national aviation rescue service, medical rescue transport service, rescue service entrusted by the businessmen at home and abroad, emergency traffic support and rescue operation training, etc. The emergency rescue belongs to the category of the personal insurance. It is said that AIA Group and China Ping’an Insurance Co., Ltd. issue the emergency rescue cards in the life insurance services. AIA has nearly 0.8 million customers in Shanghai, Hangzhou and Guangzhou, 5% of whom have the emergency rescue cards. In recent years, the foreign tourists to China, overseas Chinese returning to China for investment and sightseeing and the compatriots of Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan coming to China have been increased year by year and they reached 72.79 million person times in 1999. The quantity of the domestic tourists to go abroad is more than 1 million person times/year and the quantity of the domestic tourists has also been more than 0.719 billion person times/year. If some of them buy the rescue cards, it can be seen that the market potential will be great. In addition, there have been more than 0.2 million highway transport accidents occurring every year, which have caused about 50000 persons to be dead and more than 0.1 million to be injured since 1990s. The organization of the general planes to transport the injured can win the precious time for curing them. Therefore, the social and economic benefits will be remarkable. Since the building of the Ward Building of Shanghai Changzheng Hospital, the first domestic one with the helicopter apron was built, there have been about 20 hospitals using the helicopters to carry out the first aid of the patients and a lot of general aviation companies are actively carrying out the medical rescue.
6) New aviation sports and training market
The aviation sports can make people enjoy a lot the freedom of flying in the air like a bird. Such a sense of free flight has encouraged a lot of persons to win the driving license by examination for the aviation sports. In the foreign countries, it is quite common for individual persons to learn piloting and pilot the private planes. However, there are few people in Chnia engaged in it. The consumption concepts and recreations have changed with the social development. Just at the beginning of the reform and opening, it was only a driver to drive a car and it was almost impossible to buy a car to drive by oneself. 20 years later, people always talk about buying a car and it is fashionable to have a driving license. It has been a dream for people to “fly in the air”. When the safety coefficiency and expenses of flight reach the extent that people can accept, it has become the new hot spot of consumption to learn piloting. The development of the private planes can promote a great number of aviation sports fans to cultivate the pilots via the nongovernmental funds, which is greatly favorable to the development of the aviation undertaking of our country. A great number of aviation fans are trained to prepare for piloting the private planes and provide a great number of aviation reserved personnel, including pilots, air crew and maintenance crew, etc. Such a mode can also save a large amount of training expenses for the country.
7) Important short-distance passenger, cargo and mail transport market
At present, the transport market of the civil aviation of our country is mainly centralized in the courses between the medium-sized and large cities. There has been no market or a small market in a lot of small cities or some remote areas or areas with inconvenient traffic. It is the common method to take the general aviation mode to develop the market in the world. The international successful advanced experience can be taken for reference to the volume of business of the small airports and the remote airports, stimulate the development of the modern airspace management facilities, promote the economic development in the area with the underdeveloped transport and let more people enjoy the modern high-speed transport tools. The development of the short-distance passenger, cargo and mail transport market is an important field for the general aviation company to expand the operation. Our country has a big territory and the best approach to resolve the mail transport problemin more than 500 islands and in the west plateaus is the general aviation.
8) Multi-directional urban aviation service market
With the continuous rapid development of the economic construction of our country, the urban constructon has changed rapidly and the urban population has been highly increased. The sharp increasing of the urban population has brough about a lot of new problems and made the administrators of the big cities meet the new difficulties. The foreign economically developed countries make use of the helicopters to participate in the mangemetn of the urban security in order to strengthen the modern management of the cities, which has first opened the urban aviation service. The urban aviation service market mainly refers to the multi-directional and multi-angle air operation including public security execution, firefighting, aerial photography, news collection, traffic management, emergency rescue, live broadcasting and publicity, etc. In order to improve the rapid response capabilities of comprehensive prevention and control, public security, firefighting and customs, it is necessary to use planes and helicopters, which will not only provide a lot of market opportunities and space for existence and development for the general aviation but also present the higher requirements for the general aviation.
(3) Product target market and marketing strategy
1) Sales scheme
Provision of flight services: there are the high types of flight service items provided, mainly including loading of tourists (charged flight experience), aerial photography (urban planning), advertisement name sponsorship, flight training, rescue, police law enforcement, patrolling and monitoring, maritime monitoring, monitoring of fishing and flood periods, aerobatic flight, membership leisure and recreational flight, etc.
It includes the after-sale service of aircraft (including the maintenance and managed services). The before-sale and after-sale services of aircraft are mainly to build the aircraft technology support and service system.
2) Groups of target customers
There are mainly the following 6 groups of consumers:
Aircraft for flight training; aircraft for recreation of the aviation club; aircraft for the general aviation companies; special-purpose aircraft of the governmental organizations and institutions (such as air law enforcement, maritime monitoring, frontier patrolling and aviaton sports, etc.); business aircraft of enterprises bosses; individual aircraft for villa holidays and sightseeing
3) Marketing strategy
The target market of the project products is mainly aimed at the aircraft for training of pilots, enterprise businesses, flight clubs, air tourism and governmental air law enforcement, etc. to take the pertinent strategy and methods. In the market popularization, the strategy with the aviation science and technology exhibition as the starting point, the flight training as the basis and villa holidays and tourism as the key points should be carried out to take some methods such as signing the training contracts with the aviation academies, registration of the domestic flight clubs and building of the franchised operating points of the famous scenic and tourist spots, etc. In the recruitment of members and arrangement of activities, it is aimed at the urban new nobles and prominence is given to the fashionable and pioneering concepts in the publicity, the exhibition is laid in the high-trade consumption areas, the activities are jointly carried out with the medium-grade and high-grade communities and advertisements are made in some popular magazines, etc. In order to improve the social influences of the clubs and cultivate the market in the future, the teenagers’ aviation science and technology summer camps can be organized via the administrative department in charge of education to carry out the science and technology popularization activities. On the whole, the public relations and the advertisement propaganda will be combined to carry out the appropriate choice and comprehensive arrangement to establish the organic marketing packages and achieve the target market of the products.

2. Introduction to Partner
2.1 Basic conditions
Name: Jilin Municipal People’s Government
Legal Address: 65 Songjiang Road, Jilin City
Jilin City, the second largest city of Jilin Province, China is the only city with the same name of its province, with the total area of 27120km2 and the total population of 4.5 million. Jilin City is a city full of honors and pride. The main titles that she has won include Famous Historical and Cultural City of China, Excellent Tourist City of China, National Park City, one of the Most Beautiful Cities, one of the Top 10 Famous Cities of China most worthy of being introduced to the world, one of the Top 10 Special Leisure Cities of China and one of the cities with the most competitiveness of China in the future 10 years, etc.
Jilin City, “Jilin Wula” in Manchu means the city along the river. When Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty inspected Northeast China and came to Jilin City, he wrote the Ship Song of Songhua River in which there was a sentence of “a lot of boats and ships anchored by Jilin City along the Songhua River”, so Jilin City is also called the “River City in the North”. Jilin City, with the forest coverage rate of 54.9%, is the first city winning the “national afforestation model city” in Northeast China. It is the cradle of the prehistoric culture and Chinese Manchu. Focusing on the development of the social undertakings, improvement of the living environment and quality and strengthening of the social support capabilities, etc., the city has made great efforts to carry out the people’s livelihood and benefit projects, built the complete modern educational system and medical and sanitary service system, perfected the urban infrastructural functions, achieved the more scientific and standard urban management, carried out the building activity of “Peaceful Jilin” and created the good social environment for people’s living and work in peace.
Jilin City, as one of the big cities of China, has won the favor of the businessmen at home and abroad and become the hot land for investment and opening companies for its rich natural resources, location advantages, sufficient human resources, strong industrial foundation, high-efficiency and good-quality service and broad development space. Rich natural resources: The water resources per capita of Jilin City are 4000m3, 1.8 times the average level of China and 5.4 times the average level of the cities in the north of China. The total installed capacity of power generation is 4.72 million KWH and the annual power generation is 13 billion KWH, accounting for 55.5% of the total power generation of Northeast China. The forest area is 1.65 million hectares and the total timber volume is 0.156 billion m3, so it is the main producing area and distributing center of the natural and green special products of Changbai Mountain. The farmland area is 0.665 million hectares, the annual output of grains is 9 billion jin and the grain occupation per capita is 2.6 times that of China, so it is one of the important commodity grain bases of China. In the city, 82 varieties of mineral resources have been found. The reserves of eight kinds of minerals such as nickel, molybdenum, etc. rank among the top 10 in China. Jilin City has the strong industrial foundation: It is the key old industrial base in the construction of the country during the “1st Five-Year Plan”. With the development for many years, especially the development in the reform and opening for more than 30 years, the traditional indusrial system of petrochemical engineering, automobile, metallurgy, energy sources, processing of agricultural products and nonmetallic minerals, etc. and the new industrial system of carbon fiber, equipment manufacturing, biological industry, foundamental electronics and electric power and electronics have been built. Jilin City has the obvious location advantages: It is located in the geographical center of Northeast China and the direct hinterland and important node of China Tumen River Regional Cooperation and Development Plan Program---Changchun-Jilin-Tumen Development and Opening Pilot Zone in December, 2009, connecting Shenyang in the south, Harbin in the north, Inner Mongolia in the west and North Korea in the east. Jilin Inland Port having been opened has achieved the “seamless connection” with Liaoning Dalian Port and the radiationg range includes not only Northeast China but also Chinese mainland, Japan, Russia and North Korea, etc. Jilin Longjjia International Airport, Jilin Airport to be started very soon, Changhun and Shenha Expressways, Changchun Interurban High-speed Railway, Shenha Complex Railway have established the 1-hour economic circle connecting the external counties (cities) and become the rapid and convenient 3D traffic network extending in all directions. Good investment environment: Jilin City builds the “service-type, efficient, legal ruling and credit” government, sets up the concepts of “favoring, comforting, supporting and enriching the businessmen” and builds the “0-distance, one-station and omni-directional green channel” system and tracking and contracted service system. Some modern service industries of business and trade, logistics, finance and insurance as well as information consultation, etc. of Jilin City have been rapidly developed, which has provided the favorable environment for investment and opening companies. As the important industrial base of Northeast China, Jilin City has 0.16 million prefessionals and 0.324 millon technical workers. In addition, there are 46 colleges and universities and 11 technical schools in the whole city. It can cultivate nearly 40000 scientific and technological experts and technical workers for society every year.
Jilin City, surrounded by mountains and green rivers and lakers, endowed with a lot of advantaged resources, is called a blessed and promised land and famous city of rime and meteorolites. The vast river water and forest entitle Jilin City with the distinct natural landscapes in the four seasons and unqiue tourist resources.

AIR START POD
In the early days of jet fighter operations (typically the 1950's),
this under wing pod was carried when aircraft operated into
airfields where no air start units were available.
These screen shot shows the model (with and without the air hose).
The kit consists of two cast resin halves of the pod,
with cast metal access panels, wheels and a hose.
The hose can be gently bent to the required contours,
but be very careful - it can easily be broken.

In addition to having the distinction of being one of the few monoplane fighters built during World War I, the Bristol M1C has a unique view hole in each of its wings for better pilot visibility.
The M1C is the results of early attempts to increase aircraft speed through streamlining. The wing's elliptical shape, its shoulder position on the fuselage that eliminates the need for inter-wing struts, and distinctive large prop spinner, all worked to lessen drag.
The M1C did not see action on the Western Front, although its performance was comparable to the best fighters of its day. It is said that this was due to the fact that it needed more open area for take off and landing than available in the many small, front line French airfields used by the RAF. Instead, the aircraft was used primarily as a trainer and for personal transport. It was used extensively as a fighter/scout in the Middle East theatre during 1916 and 1917.
The picture at the top of this page is of a beautifully restored Bristol M1C housed at the Harry Butler Museum, Minlaton, Australia. How it got there is an interesting story.
We want to thank Russell King for contacting Aviation Trivia. He writes:
"Find accompanying a copy of an article I wrote some years ago about Capt. Harry Butler's Bristol M1C aircraft, the Red Devil. Hope that is clears up some of the details of the M1C page of your excellent website.
I'm fortunate enough to live a couple of hours from Minlaton, where the Red Devil is on display, and wrote the article when I was working as a freelance writing some years ago. I spent a day looking over the aircraft and the Minlaton Council's archives (a pile of boxes in a back room), in which I found a host of interesting things, including the Captain's original Australian flying license (I think it was numbered in the twenties). Later, I spoke with an old bloke who actually had flown with the Captain."
The following information was obtained from the Russell King article:
Australian native, Harry Butler, went to Great Britain to join the Royal Flying Corps in 1915. His combat flying skills earned him a pair of Air Force Crosses. He reached the rank of captain and was reassigned as a pilot instructor. Before the war ended, he taught some 2,700 aspiring pilots how to fly.
Before returning to Australia he purchased his Bristol M1C wartime mount. It arrived in Australia on July 12, 1919. Accompanying the aircraft was Lieutenant H. A. Kauper a former works manager for Sopwith Aircraft. His management experience was invaluable to the newly launched enterprise: The Harry J. Butler and Kauper Aviation Co., Ltd.
The company was based in Enfield. It initially did quite well, importing aircraft, cars and parts, undertaking engineering work, and using the Bristol for advertising, freight carriage, and passenger flights.
The Bristol was painted bright red and nicknamed the Red Devil. It became Butler's trade mark. On August 12, 1919, Butler flew the Red Devil to make the first over water mail flight in the Southern Hemisphere.
By September of 1920, the company had moved to a new airfield at Albert Park in Adelaide's northwest. However, serious interest in commercial aviation was dwindling, and a year later the partnership dissolved. Butler continued to run the enterprise by himself.
Back in Minlaton, after negotiating the purchase of an automobile engineering business, Butler and a mechanic test flew one of the company's biplane aircraft. The aircraft's engine stopped when the aircraft was about 1,500 feet high. During the resultant crash, the mechanic was thrown clear, but Captain Butler was seriously injured. Although he went on to run the engineering business successfully, he never fully recovered. Captain Butler passed away on July 30, 1924.
With no one to pilot it, the Bristol M1C was stored in a shed in Adelaide. It was discovered there by Captain H. C. Miller, and old friend of Butler, and he purchased the aircraft.
Miller replaced the original engine of the Bristol to obtain greater performance. The aircraft was successfully raced, and operated in an aerial circus.
The Bristol was retired in the mid 1940's. It ended up suspended from the roof of a hangar at Perth's Guildford Airport. That's where, in 1956, a Mr. C. B. Tillbrook, a Minlaton native, discovered it while looking for a crop spraying aircraft.
Tillbrook spoke with Miller who kindly offered to donate the Bristol to his old friend Harry Butler's home town. The town made plans for refurbishing and housing the aircraft.
The Bristol was flown in the cargo hold of an aircraft from Perth to Adelaide in October of 1956. She was overhauled and reassembled in Parafield, then transported to Minlaton to reside in the newly erected Captain Harry Butler AFC Memorial on October 11, 1958.
Also on display at the memorial was the engine of the crashed aircraft. It was the same one that was in the Bristol during the first over water mail flight. Bristol aircraft kindly overhauled the engine. While doing so they discovered what probably had caused the crash. A piston had seized.
In 1973 the original engine was reinstalled in the Bristol. The Balaklava (SA) Gliding Club repaired the sun damaged fabric and restored the engine cowl of the Bristol M1C in 1989. The aircraft was now back to its original condition.
A total of 130 Bristol M1C aircraft were produced.

Along with unveiling new branding (together with a brand new livery and brand), the airline has lastly pulled again the curtains on its new inflight expertise. Air India is introducing 4 new cabins, starting from top notch to economic system. Let’s go over the small print.
A take a look at Air India’s new lengthy haul cabins
Air India has revealed a roughly two minutes video showcasing the cabins of the service’s reconfigured Boeing 777s, although these interiors will even be discovered on different plane (I’ll talk about extra particulars of that beneath). Along with new seats, additionally notice that Air India can be introducing all-new inflight leisure, in addition to Wi-Fi, all through its lengthy haul fleet.
Under yow will discover that video, after which beneath I’ll talk about the small print of every cabin.
Air India’s new top notch
Air India can be sustaining top notch on some lengthy haul plane, although handle your expectations. The service’s top notch product can be primarily based on the Safran Unity seat, the identical present in enterprise class. Air India could have a single row of top notch, in a 1-2-1 configuration. Every seat can be totally flat and could have a door.
What differentiates the primary class arduous product from the enterprise class arduous product? It seems like top notch could have a bigger tv display, plus a bigger ottoman.
It’s attention-grabbing to see that Air India is selecting to keep up top notch, however isn’t really investing in a aggressive product. I suppose the airline is concentrated on effectivity and figured it may provide top notch with out a lot of a possibility price when it comes to seating capability, although this very a lot appears to fall into the “why hassle” class, and looks like an afterthought.
This feels to me extra like a enterprise class “plus” product, like what you’ll discover on Condor or Virgin Atlantic, reasonably than a first-class product.
I suppose we’ll see if Air India introduces some astonishingly good tender product to associate with it, however that hasn’t traditionally been the case. This cabin is a little bit of a head-scratcher to me, in contrast to the remainder of the airplane, which seems nice.
Air India’s new enterprise class
Now that is the place it will get thrilling. In enterprise class, Air India has chosen the Safran Unity seat, that means seats can be in a 1-2-1 configuration. This can be a staggered configuration, so seats in some rows are nearer to the aisle, whereas seats in different rows are nearer to the home windows.
Seats are totally flat with direct aisle entry, and also have a privateness door. You possibly can count on these seats to have nice tech, together with wi-fi charging and bluetooth audio.
This represents a fully huge enchancment over Air India’s present enterprise class. For what it’s price, this is identical product that Qantas has chosen for its Airbus A350-1000s, which is able to fly the world’s longest routes.
Air India’s new premium economic system
Air India will lastly be introducing a premium economic system product all through the lengthy haul fleet. This can be in a 2-4-2 configuration. Whereas the primary and enterprise class seats have pretty impartial finishes, the premium economic system and economic system seats are crimson, so have a bit extra “persona.”
We don’t but have too many extra particulars in regards to the premium economic system product, aside from that there can be seat again televisions and leg rests.
Air India’s new economic system
Air India will even be introducing a brand new economic system product. There’s in the end solely a lot innovation we see in economic system, although this seems moderately first rate.
The one catch is that on Boeing 777s, the airline can be going from a 3-3-3 configuration, to a 3-4-3 configuration. That’s not sudden, although, since that’s the trade customary, and economic system additionally has probably the most worth delicate clients. It’s an space the place it’s good for Air India to concentrate on price.
Which planes will get Air India’s new cabins, and when?
When can we count on to see these new Air India cabins?
- Beginning in 2024, newly delivered Air India huge physique jets (together with Airbus A350-900s) will function the brand new cabins; apparently Air India’s first A350-900 supply will occur in late 2023, and that’s a airplane that was designed for Aeroflot, so it’s going to function completely different interiors (just like what I simply skilled on Turkish Airways)
- Air India can be reconfiguring all of its current Boeing 777s and 787s, they usually’ll additionally get these new cabins; you may count on that mission to begin in mid 2024, and to take round 2.5 years
Subsequently you may count on these new cabins to be launched as of some level in 2024. It stays to be seen if a newly delivered plane or a reconfigured plane sports activities the brand new interiors first. In the meantime the primary plane to function the brand new livery can be an A350 delivered in late 2023.
Since there are 4 new cabins, can we count on all of these cabins on all of these planes, or what is going to that appear like?
- Air India is unquestionably putting in all 4 cabins (together with top notch) on reconfigured 777-300ERs
- It hasn’t but been confirmed if different plane, together with the A350 and 787, will function top notch
- All lengthy haul plane will function premium economic system going ahead
My tackle Air India’s new passenger expertise
I’m actually impressed by the best way that Air India is reinventing itself right here. The airline now clearly has a technique, and has incredible new interiors, with plans for Wi-Fi and upgraded leisure. If the airline can really comply with by means of on all of this, it’s going to maybe be the best airline turnaround of all time.
Now, personally I discover the brand new top notch reasonably underwhelming, however that’s minor within the scheme of issues, and can influence few passengers. The brand new enterprise class seems nice, by comparability (effectively, as a result of it’s mainly the identical).
With every thing that has been outlined thus far, I feel the most important query is whether or not Air India can enhance its tender product in the same approach to how we’re seeing the arduous product improved. Can Air India introduce nice inflight catering and facilities? Can the airline ship wonderful service?
Air India has some “legacy” points, as we see with airways in the US as effectively. You possibly can set up new seats all you need, but it surely doesn’t essentially change the tender product.
I’m rooting for Air India right here, as I’d like to see the airline change into one that folks fly not only for schedule, however for product.
Air India has now revealed the small print of its new interiors, together with all new cabins. Most spectacular is Air India’s new enterprise class, which consists of totally flat seats with direct aisle entry and doorways. The airline is utilizing the identical product in top notch, which looks like an odd alternative. Air India will even be introducing premium economic system for the primary time on one among its personal jets, and is introducing new economic system seats.
You possibly can count on the primary Air India plane with the brand new interiors to be flying in 2024. Properly executed, Air India… now let’s simply get these planes into service!
What do you make of Air India’s new lengthy haul interiors? | aerospace |

Hank realized his passion for recreational flying over the last few years and has his pilot’s license, which frankly hasn’t been getting enough use these past 6 months.
We would like to have a runway in Makerton and a fleet of ultralight aircrafts to cruise around in. But as of yet, Hank is the only one with any flight experience, and none of us have any ultralight experience. Unwilling to let any opportunities pass us by, Hank and Iain began planning their own trip the moment they realized where I was headed.
Next Monday, June the 13th, we will all be going to Cushing Field to fly some ultralights. Perhaps even more exciting is that Iain and I will take turns flying with Hank in a real Evektor SportStar, just to make sure our appetites for flight are properly whetted. While the runway at Makerton will just be long enough for ultralights, we all would like to have full pilot’s licenses eventually… and maybe even a Makerton plane ; )
For any enthused readers and potential makers out there in Illinois – if you have an interest in flying or just want to hangout and chat, please send us a message by emailing firstname.lastname@example.org and hopefully we can meet at the airport, fly some ultralights together, and/or share a meal after the day’s festivities. | aerospace |

Thanks to an unprecedented marketing campaign, the whole world held its breath and watched live as the Philae robot touched down. This visual feed came thanks in particular to miniature cameras… from Neuchâtel. Neuchâtel, alongside 25 Swiss companies and 14 European countries, contributed to this major project.
Europe takes the lead
It all began in 1991, when the international scientific community suggested launching a mission dedicated to comets. Two years later, an ESA project commenced. Its aim was to travel into space and bring a comet sample back to Earth. Given the scale of the challenge, the space agency had to curtail its ambitions. It abandoned the idea of a partnership with NASA, decided to land on a comet rather than take a sample from it, and renounced its plan to bring two landers on the trip in order to focus on one single robot, known as Philae.
After an initial failed rocket launch in 2002, the Rosetta mission was once again recalibrated. Departure was deferred until 2004 and the destination was changed. The target now became the 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko, comet, aka “Chury”. In the course of its voyage, which would last ten years, the Rosetta probe carrying the Philae robot would fly past the asteroids Steins in 2008 and Lutetia in 2010 (on its secondary mission). It would then enter hibernation for 31 months in order to conserve energy.
The crucial final stage
Upon reawakening, the probe was just seven months’ flying time from the comet, or 9 million kilometres. The mission was monitored via images taken by cameras from Neuchâtel. On 25 August 2014, high-resolution images taken from a distance of around one hundred km from the comet made it possible to identify five potential landing sites for Philae, as the highlight of the mission. On 29 September, the chosen location was announced and the date set for 12 November.
On that day, the Philae lander was ejected from the Rosetta probe and descended for 7 hours and 2 minutes. It was an agonising wait for the 2000 people who had worked on this mission for 20 years. Despite a few nail-biting moments when the robot bounced several times due to low gravity, Philae ended its journey over a kilometre from the location originally targeted. From this new site, data was gathered for three days. The cameras captured a 360° panoramic view and showed a surface which appeared harder and rockier than expected.
Satisfied by these findings and with 80% of objectives met, the space agency brought an end to the mission on 30 September 2016, after the probe in turn had reached the surface of the comet. Rosetta and Philae, now inert, were set to accompany “Chury” until it disintegrated or collided with another celestial body, at some unknown date in the future.
Neuchâtel as a key player
This unprecedented project, which cost around 1.3 billion euros, comparable to the cost of three Airbus 380s, owes its success in part to Swiss know-how. Among the twenty or so Swiss companies involved, APCO Technologies in Aigle was responsible for the ROSINA spectrometer mechanism, the role of which was to analyse gas and dust emitted by the comet. This instrument was primarily designed by the Physics Institute at the University of Berne.
The company RUAG Space in Zürich developed, among other things, a “sleeping bag” used to protect the probe from cold and meteorite impacts during its flight. Electrical installations on the ground benefited from the expertise of Basel company Clemessy. And with regard to the landing craft, its two engines were provided by Obwalden firm Maxon Motor AG.
Yet one contribution to the project really stands out: that of the CSEM, the Space Exploration Institute (Space-X), led by Jean-Luc Josset. Based in Neuchâtel, the latter provided the “eyes” of the mission. Commissioned by the European Space Agency in the early 1990s, the CSEM developed the world’s smallest digital cameras. This was a real technological breakthrough at the time.
People thought such an invention was impossible, it was difficult to convince them, especially because they did not know us. But they were persuaded by Swiss quality and by our proposal.
recalls Dr Ivar Kjelberg, a member of the CSEM team
An engineering challenge for the CSEM
The team at the institute, composed of around ten specialists, worked from 1992 to 1997 to design seven entirely unique micro-cameras. These lenses were vital pieces in the puzzle, a key aspect of the project, and would represent a significant success for the CSEM. But it was a risky challenge, according to Dr Ivar Kjelberg.
All spaces voyages are dangerous, he stresses. The difference is that in Switzerland we’re more expensive than other countries, so we have to stand out by undertaking special high-risk projects.
Several prototypes emerged from these years of research. The first ones measured 35 mm high, 21 mm wide and 1 mm thick, not much larger than a postage stamp. Months of testing made it possible, in 1998, to propose a totally autonomous and energy-efficient camera. One shot now required just two watts, similar to the consumption of a torch. The end products were finally delivered in 2001, meeting all the demands of the mission’s specifications.
Based on Flextec technology, a titanium component and a bulk-machined internal spring, all parts of the camera came together perfectly and were prepared for all kinds of difficulties anticipated during their voyage. For the Philae landing robot, two cameras were designed to look in the same direction, providing stereo vision for greater depth. The five others were to be placed on all sides of the lander to obtain a 360° panoramic view.
The advantage of our cameras is that they are minuscule, with a high-quality lens (1 million pixels) and very light, which avoids overloading the robot,
states Dr Kjelberg. By way of comparison, the device weighs just 100 grams, about the same weight as an apple.
Developing a device of this kind for an unknown environment certainly poses real challenges.
We had to overcome numerous obstacles in designing our cameras. In particular, these included extreme temperature variations (-150°C to +150°C), vacuum conditions and cosmic radiation, requiring great precaution in terms of the choice of materials. We knew about the difficult flight conditions, but the rest of the mission was based on assumption, which complicated our analysis and testing,
the CSEM researcher recalls.
Fortunately, the Neuchâtel-based institute was able to find solutions. And two fundamental factors were to thank for this, according to Dr Ivar Kjelberg. Firstly, the diverse qualifications of the CSEM team offered a wide range of options. While they all had a background in systems engineering, each person provided their own area of experience and expertise.
Secondly, there was the aspect of long service with the organisation. Ivar Kjelberg, for example, has been bringing his know-how to the CSEM for over 30 years.
This is a real advantage in a mission,” he observes. “If one person works from the beginning to the end of a project, they know all its ins and outs, whereas changing an operator along the way can mean precious time being lost.
This is an advantage for the Neuchâtel institute, thanks to its relatively modest size.
Post-Rosetta in the canton
Three years after the end of the Rosetta mission, the CSEM is delighted with its participation.
This project did not make us millionaires. On the contrary, we lost money, but we gained expertise, boosted our international reputation, and found new sub-contractor partners.
smiles Dr Kjelberg
Indeed, local companies who contributed to production of the cameras, such as Fisba Optik AG in Saint-Gall, were able to benefit, through the CSEM, from good publicity abroad. More globally, Neuchâtel’s participation in this project highlighted the micromechanics sector as a further speciality of the canton in addition to watchmaking.
This space experience demonstrated what Neuchâtel is capable of, showing that the institute’s engineers could easily collaborate with big companies and achieve real advances in micromechanics. This set the CSEM on the path towards major new projects in space engineering, such as the current European project, Remove Debris.
1993 : Rosetta project approved by the European Space Agency.
2001 : Delivery of seven miniature cameras developed in Neuchâtel.
2004 : Probe launched into space from Kourou in French Guiana.
2008 : Flight past Steins asteroid.
2010 : Flight past Lutetia asteroid.
2011 : Mise en sommeil de la sonde. Probe placed in hibernation mode.
2014 : Probe reactivated and put into orbit around the comet. Philae robot lands on “Chury”.
2016 : End of the Rosetta mission.
Mission objective: The aim of the Rosetta mission was to study, using the 21 instruments onboard the lander and orbiter, the link between comets and interstellar matter. It also looked at the role played by comets in the formation of the solar system.
Profile of the comet: 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko was discovered in 1969 by two Soviet scientists after whom it was named. It has a diameter of approximately 4 kilometres and completes its orbit in six and a half years. Mainly composed of ice, its surface is grey and uneven.
Profile of Philae: This 1.3-metre robot weighs 100 kilos on Earth but just 1 gram on the comet. For the mission, it carried ten scientific instruments (including the Neuchâtel cameras).
Profile of Rosetta: Equipped with eleven instruments for its mission, the main role of this three-tonne probe was to transport the Philae robot which was to land on the comet.
Main findings :
- The theory that water present on Earth was brought here by comets was not confirmed by the analyses.
- However, the comet does possess elements which may have contributed to the formation of life on Earth.
- The shape of the comet was ultimately unexpected.
- This shape has an influence on the seasons, the movement of dust on the surface of the comet, as well as on the composition of its atmosphere.
- The gasses emitted by the comet were unexpected.
- Numerous organic elements were detected on it.
- The surface turned out not to be soft but as hard as ice.

But we keep getting proof. One of the things that makes Curiosity awesomer than any previous Mars landing is the spacecraft’s ability to document, in pictures, what it did. Spacecrafts usually have great cameras, but it’s a sad fact that unless you have two spacecrafts in the same place, you usually can’t get a photograph of a spacecraft in space. Well, here’s a photograph of a piece of a spacecraft at Mars. It’s Curiosity’s photo of its heat shield, which it had jettisoned about 10 seconds previously. In the background is the ancient cratered floor of Gale crater, peppered with dark sand dunes. (I wrote more about the photo here.)
But wait — it gets better. That photo is just one of about 1000 frames in a video taken by the camera as Curiosity fell toward Mars. That’s right — we have a movie of a Mars landing. In color. At HD resolution. The video is still on Mars. About 300 of those frames have been returned to Earth at much-reduced resolution. (The full resolution is 1600 by 1200 pixels; the “thumbnails” we’ve received are 200 by 150.) Even at very low resolution and very low frame rate, the movie of the descent is electrifying. My favorite part is watching the dust swirl at landing. Whoooosh!
Eventually, we will get all the frames of this video at their full resolution, uncompressed, but it’s going to take some time, because vanity photos just aren’t as high-priority as science and engineering data. Sooner than that, we’ll get other cool spacecraft vanity shots taken for engineering purposes, to check out the condition of the rover. Stay tuned tomorrow, when we should get a bunch of photos of the rover’s deck taken from a black-and-white camera atop its mast. Next month, we will get some cool self-portraits of the rover taken by the camera mounted on the end of its arm.
Now, this is not the first time we’ve seen a movie of Curiosity in space. I absolutely love this view captured by the upper stage of its launch rocket, watching the release of the slowly spinning spacecraft on its trajectory toward Mars. We’re seeing the solar-panel-bedecked “cruise stage,” which was jettisoned shortly before Curiosity entered the Martian atmosphere, having done its job powering and steering the rover on its journey.
Including cameras on spacecraft purely for the purpose of watching mission events happen is becoming more common. Here’s some neat video from the Chinese lunar orbiter Chang’E 2, showing the deployment of its solar panels. After the panel has deployed and the vibration has damped, the spacecraft executes a roll that brings the brilliant ball of Earth into the field of view; the autoexposure then adjusts for the brightness of Earth. There are four other awesome Chang’E 2 videos here.
My favorite in-space video came from the adorable tiny little deployable cameras that flew with the Japanese solar sail mission IKAROS. Each was a tiny little cell-phone-sized camera with a radio transmitter that IKAROS pushed gently into space; they took and transmitted photos as long as their batteries lasted, about fifteen minutes, enough to document that the sail had deployed properly. Even though their operational lifetimes were very short, DCAM1 and DCAM2 (as they were called) had long lives in cyberspace, participating in Twitter conversation with their spacecraft IKAROSkun (“little brother IKAROS,” I think) for a year. (And while I’m linking to IKAROS stuff, I gotta link to the anime-riffic IKAROS theme song.)
But possibly the most impressive feat of in-space imaging of another spacecraft was achieved by Mars Global Surveyor in 2005, when it got pictures of the other two orbiters at Mars: Mars Odyssey and Mars Express. The pictures are not the best quality — but imaging an orbiter from another orbiter at another planet! Wow. | aerospace |

Beech 18, N13JC, is currently under a return-to-flight program at the Vintage Flying Museum (VFM) of Fort Worth, Texas. The Twin Beech, a 1954 Beechcraft E18S-9700, construction number BA-31, was gifted to VFM several years previously by the Tarrant County College and had been using the aircraft for several decades as a maintenance trainer. During its tenure at the college, it was discovered to have been previously owned by Jacqueline ‘Jackie’ Cochran, the accomplished record setting aviatrix and founder of the WWII Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP) organization. With this heritage, it was decided by the VFM is to use the airplane to honor and promote women in aviation past, present – and future. With that in mind, it was re-registered as N13JC in Cochran’s memory.
The aircraft was originally purchased by the Williams Brothers Company of Tulsa, Oklahoma, to support their oil exploration activities, including a short stint flying in Venezuela, and being registered by them as N80008, N108WB, YV-P-EPC and N107WB. In 1962 the aircraft was sold to Arkansas Best Freight System Inc. and based in Fort Smith, Arkansas as N475AB.
According to the National Air & Space Museum, this was the last aircraft personally owned and flown by Cochran, registered as N13JC. After her ownership the aircraft became the transportation tool of 1970’s television personality Merv Griffin, as N475AB,…

[emphasis mine]
The US Air Force yesterday took the first public step in the search for a replacement of the Boeing VC-25 Air Force One, the presidential aircraft fleet.
The USAF posted a request for information for market sources that can provide three widebody aircraft to replace two, 19-year-old VC-25s, which are converted Boeing 747-200s.
An analysis of alternatives performed in 2007, which identified the Airbus A380 as a candidate, found that it would be more cost-effective to buy new aircraft rather than modernize the VC-25s.
As a retired military guy myself, I would hate to see Air Force One being built in Europe or anywhere other than the US. Whatever Boeing has to do to retain that contract, it should do but, this is the predictable, logical conclusion when US companies, punished by over-regulation and hamstrung by onerous corporate taxes and labor costs, are forced to compete with foreign companies who have streamlined operations and government cooperation.
Manufacturing jobs are leaving the US in droves because it's just too expensive to do business here. We are becoming a nation of consumers rather than a nation of creators and builders.
The fraud, waste, and abuse that riddles every government manufacturing contract has got to stop and the whole process streamlined. Boeing is partly to blame for their own predicament in this area. It can control it's costs better. That said, the government should get out of the way and with minimal interference through regulations and taxation, allow American companies do what they do best, make things.
Hopefully Boeing will win the bidding process, because it would be quite embarrassing to have the Presidential fleet made in Europe. | aerospace |

This single pilot manned test-bed was built by Jim Kern's TASK Research Inc. of Santa Paula, California in 1982, which supplied many composite structures/components for the Rutan designed Long-EZ, Defiant, and Voyager aircraft during the early to mid 1980’s (see inset) under contract to Northrop's Electric Mechanical Division in the late 1980s to test early avionics/electronic equipment for remotely piloted vehicles—the forerunners of today’s advanced UAVs and UCAVs (Lockheed conducted similar research with the California Microwave CM-30 at the time, which led to the CM-44 OPV).
The Vantage was a single-seat pusher canard which resembled a Rutan Long-EZ, but was slightly larger with more rounded fuselage sides, a large bulbous two piece canopy. The craft also incorporated an extra long pitot tube in the front. Power was supplied by a single Lycoming O-360 (180 HP) engine turning a variable pitch wood or composite propeller. The aircraft incorporated a retractable nose gear which was powered by an electric motor. The wing root to fuselage joint was blended/contoured and flowed seamlessly into the cockpit. Nicknamed "Sneeky Pete" (1) by its pilots, the undesignated aircraft was outfitted with various special avionics depending on the specific mission requirement. The exterior was painted white, with the name “Sneeky Pete” written along the side of the fuselage, though this is not apparent in the one picture that was released.
Although the maiden flight of "Sneeky Pete" took place at Mojave Airport on July 18th, 1982 with Dick Rutan at the controls (Mike Melvill, along with many others served as test pilots for this aircraft), Rutan Aircraft Factory or Scaled Composites apparently were not involved in the elaboration and building process of the aircraft. It is believed that the flight test program for "Sneeky Pete" first took place at the remote Groom Lake test site in Nevada widely known as "Area 51" (AFFTC DET. 3) in late 1982, and is still ongoing. The aircraft was periodically tested over the years with various equipment, put into seclusion at various times, but has never been officially retired. During its “down time”, "Sneeky Pete" was most likely stored in a top-secret facility known as “Dyson’s Dock” at Groom Lake which was also the location of the Northrop “Tacit Blue” technology demonstrator after it was retired in 1985.
In 1993, "Sneeky Pete" was acquired and rebuilt by Scaled Composites and experimentally fitted with a Williams FJ107 jet engine, a small turbofan engine designed to power cruise missiles and developed by the Williams International company from their WR19.The FJ107 was notably the powerplant for the AGM-86 ALCM, BGM-109 Tomahawk, and AGM-129 ACM, as well as the experimental Williams X-Jet flying platform. In its jet-powered form, the aircraft was first tested in August 1993 and was known at Scaled Composites as the Jet LEZ Vantage or Model 61-B. A striking feature of the revised aircraft was a square, flat section, as seen from below, added at the back of the aircraft. The section wasn’t as wide as the strakes at the front wing roots but was longer along the fuselage, in comparison
Only one airframe was ever constructed. The data gathered throughout the "Sneeky Pete" program contributed to today’s advanced UAVs such as the Northrop/Grumman Global Hawk, General Atomics Predator, Boeing X-45, Northrop/Grumman X-47 Pegasus. The aircraft was returned to a more conventional configuration and still appears on the civil register as being owned by Scaled Composites, but its current whereabouts are unknown, and, like many experimental variants of the Long-EZ, it is not properly documented, due to its classified use by the military.
The nickname "Sneeky Pete" is subject to interpretation (3), but it likely refers to the type being used as a spyplane that sneaks into enemy territory to gather information. The official patch shown at the top of this page is even more cryptic, as it depicts a king with boxing gloves with a mountain and lightning in the background, surrounded by a sitting poodle, an electric guitar, a German shepherd dog, a glass of beer and what looks like a running fox (perhaps evoking the codenames of various military programs involving the aircraft). And in the foreground, a pig carrying the number "21" and the caption "World's Oldest Known Flying Pig." Perhaps this patch was created to commemorate the 21st anniversary of the type's use in secret evaluation programs; as "Sneeky Pete" is the oldest aircraft used in OPV research, this would date the patch circa 2002-2003.

More about TASK Research
Jim Kern's TASK Research once was a manufacturer of renown in the flight industry, a production-oriented prototyping and development company whose mission was to help clients move along the path from initial concept to finished product. According to a company release, "TASK Research has the mindset, skills and experience to tackle a project from any starting point - from literally little more than verbal instructions and simple sketches to fully detailed drawings."
TASK was a subcontractor for the military and for many aircraft companies such as Lockheed, Northrop and many more; they were involved in many military projects including the Northrop F-20 Tigershark, Lockheed TR-1 program, and supplied materials for U.S. Army helicopter blades. They also built parts for Rutan—notably for the Voyager, of which they were one of the eight original sponsors. The inventive company also designed and built various ride vehicles for Universal Studios (for the "Earthquake," "Back to the Future," and "Miami Vice" rides) and the Star Trek Experience at the Las Vegas Hilton. No question about it, TASK Research always was an aviation "can-do" think tank.
In 1984, Jim Kern developed the experimental Task Silhouette, a handsome single-seater of composite construction which looked a lot as if a Rutan Solitaire fuselage had been fitted with conventional tailplane, wings and forward-mounted engine. The following year, Kern finally got round to making one his long-time dreams come true: to build a P-51D two-third-scale replica fighter...

Taken by the Lunar Reconnaisance Orbiter, the series of images – although not the sparkly close up beauty passes that show every little detail that the conspiracy nuts would like – show the presence of all the lunar landers (save Apollo 12) on the surface of the moon – and in one low pass, scientific equipment and even the trails left behind by the boots of the astronauts in the lunar dust.
It is important to note that these are “first pass” images – lower pass flights are scheduled that should give more detailed images:
The satellite reached lunar orbit June 23 and captured the Apollo sites between July 11 and 15. Though it had been expected that LRO would be able to resolve the remnants of the Apollo mission, these first images came before the spacecraft reached its final mapping orbit. Future LROC images from these sites will have two to three times greater resolution.
The future can only bring better images from the orbiter – we hope – but these images are the first of hopefully many that will prove once and for all that, yes, we did fucking go there.
