The Curtiss P-40 was the only USAAF fighter available in quantity when the US entered WWII in 1941. By that time, the aircraft was almost obsolete compared to its adversaries but soldiered on throughout the war as various improvements were made in its design. The P-40E gained fame through its use by Gen Claire Chennault's Flying Tigers in China but the aircraft also saw service across the globe from Alaska to N. Africa.

“I’ve always wanted to be a fighter pilot. So it’ll be a good experience for sure,” says Cpl. Rogan O’Donnell, 14, from Grimsby, Ont. right before getting on board.
Cadets were brought by bus to the London International Airport and then given a briefing about safety rules and regulations, as well as instructions on how to deal with potential air sickness.
“I once saw two Hercules fly one after each other, they turned almost 90 degrees on their side, and flew right in front of us,” said 17-year-old Warrant Officer Finnegan Quirk who has dreams of being in the space program.
Southwestern Ontario Air Cadets prepare to ride on the CC-130 Hercules aircraft Saturday May 7, 2022. They were given the opportunity as part of a day designed to stimulate interested in Canadian Armed Forces. (Brent Lale/CTV News London)“They were so low off the ground, and it was just an incredible thing to see,” he said.
The teenagers were getting set for what the RCAF calls a familiarization flight. The 436 Transport Squadron from Trenton provided two different C-130 Hercules planes and their personnel to provide this unique opportunity.
“This is the first time for most of these cadets, especially after two years of online training because of the pandemic that they get to be in person with their friends, as well as talk to the pilots,” said Lt. Anthony Vukojevic, public affairs for the Air Cadet Program.
“They get to talk to the loadmasters that are helping them buckle up their seat belts. They are getting the full experience for them to see if it’s something that they do want to pursue in their future,” said Vukojevic.
After 75 to 100 teens boarded the Hercules — which is used to transport people, cargo and humanitarian aid — they got a 20 minute flight to Lake Erie in the Port Stanley area.

“I thought it was cool when they open the doors when we were going there going up,” said O’Donnell upon his return. “It’s great to look out the back and see what you can what’s below you. When you turn when you roll and stuff it was so awesome.”
Quirk agreed that the flight was everything he hoped it would be.
“When they opened the doors and you could see out it was just a brilliant view,” said Quirk. “Once it started turning it was crazy, and when they started doing high G’s and low G’s you really felt at all it was amazing. I loved every minute of it. It was the experience of a lifetime.” | aerospace |

This article lists sites in the United States, however the United States Army also deployed Nike missiles to Europe as part of the NATO alliance, with sites being operated by both American and European military forces. U.S. Army Nike sites were also operational in South Korea, Japan and were sold to Taiwan. Leftover traces of the approximately. . Once upon a time, not so long ago, hundreds of missile bases, holding thousands of missiles, some armed with nuclear weapons, surrounded our cities. They patiently stood guard as a last resort defense against soviet bombers Nike Missile System Diagram. (From FM 44-1) The development of a defense system was necessitated by new jet powered planes that required new methods to shoot them down. Bell Telephone Laboratories drafted the Anti Aircraft Guided Missile (AAGM) Report in 1945 . In it, they described the Nike defense system concept Developed by the U.S. Army, Bell Telephone Laboratories and Douglas Aircraft, the Nike missile system was one of the world's first successful anti-aircraft missile systems. Becoming operational during 1954, the missiles were deployed at roughly 250 sites across the continental United States and were also widely used overseas by U.S. and allied forces
Al Kellogg is reconstructing the dog yard obstacle course at site SF-88. The Nike Historical Society and the National Park Service are paying for the materials.

Planning for Nike was begun during the last months of the Second World War when the U.S. Army realized that conventional anti-aircraft artillery. Specific systems now under development at UCRL and LASL included warheads for an air-to-air rocket (the XW-25), and warheads for the TALOS, NIKE-B, and BOMARC anti-aircraft missiles. A small nuclear depth bomb, the LULU, was also under development by LASL and the Navy; the weapons labs and the Air Force were working on nuclear warheads for both intercontinental and intermediate-range ballistic.

Nike & Hawk Short Recall on French Missiles R & D Immediately after the Allied victory, France started rebuilding its aeronautical industry and resumed research. Starting in 1946 the country developed some very interesting missiles. Three of the most noteworthy missiles from the past were the CT series, the (SSM) SE-42001 and the anti-armor SS-1 Remnants of the US Army Radar and Launch Sites for Nike Missile system that was on Cougar Mountain between 1957 and 1967. blog.seattlepi.com/bellevue-pi/2010/05/05. Developed by Bell Laboratories, Nike was an ambitious radar-controlled missile system that initially targeted bombers flying at 500 mph and at up to 60,000 feet. At that distance a conventional missile would need to lead its target May 3, 2018 - NIKE missile system connected to the SAGE Radar The Nike-Hercules system, a follow-up to the Nike-Ajax missile, was developed during the Cold War to destroy enemy bombers and enemy bomber formations, as well as serve as an anti-ballistic missile system. Western Electric, Bell Laboratories, and Douglas Aircraft Company were chief contractors for the system
Where Nike missiles were stored underground and loaded onto elevators for launch, like tiny versions of the Titan system, BOMARC missiles were housed in garage-like buildings above ground. During launch, the roofs on the launch buildings split and the missile is raised to launch position, not unlike the Atlas missile system Some of you may be aware of the Nike-Hercules Missile system that protected CONUS and many of our NATO allies from Soviet bombers during the Cold War. There were about 300 missile sites built in the U.S. I visited the restored Nike launch area in Northern California (SF-88) many years ago and became very interested in the Nike program
The third system followed the missile via a transponder. The computer used incoming data from all three radars to steer the missile and score a kill. After a successful test in 1951, Nike Ajax was deployed in 1953 at 240 launch sites or batteries The Nike missile by then, you know, it's an analog system, it was pretty much an obsolete system. So within the continental United States, they went ahead and started phasing them out Historically notable systems include the American Nike Ajax, the first operational guided missile SAM system, and the Soviet Union's S-75 Dvina, the most-produced SAM. Widely used modern examples include the Patriot and S-300 wide-area systems, and short-range man-portable systems like the Stinger and Strela-3

Those who enjoy modeling sounding rockets are probably familiar with the name Nike. The Nike M5 and M5E1 motors were originally developed for use in the boosters of the Nike-Ajax and Nike-Hercules missile systems, but they also found a place as major component in sounding rocket vehicles of various configurations Though equipped with a computerized radar guidance system that was advanced for its day, the Ajax had a range of only 25 miles, so you needed lots of them to defend a big city.

Each warhead employed a Mk 21 reentry vehicle with a 300-475 kT yield W87 nuclear warhead. The system was equipped with an inertial navigation system that provided it warheads with an accuracy of 90 m CEP. The missile was relatively compact for its capabilities, with a length of 21.8 m, a width of 2.34 m and a launch weight of 87,750 kg Nike-X featured phase-array radars, computer advances, and a missile, tolerant of skin temperatures three times those of the Zeus In September 1967, the Department of Defense announced the deployment of the Sentinel antiballistic missile system, its major elements drawn from Nike-X development In March 1969, the Army deployed the Safeguard program, which was designed to defend Minuteman. Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles (ICBMs) became the dominant strategic threat. By 1971, only 6 of the 16 original Nike launch sites in the Los Angeles area remained operational. On February 4, 1974, the Army ordered all Nike missile sites to deactivate. Few signs are left of the former Los Angeles Nike missile system Project Nike was a US Army coastal defense system consisting of anti-aircraft missile systems and radar installations. These were used to track incoming threats off the shores of the United States, as well as outgoing Nike Ajax (and later, Nike Hercules, Nike Zeus and Nike-X) missiles in the event that the Soviets might attack with nuclear-capable aircraft

Nike Missiles. The concept of the Nike Missile System was first introduced in 1945. Bell Telephone Laboratories which produced the 'Anti-Aircraft Guided Missile Report' mapped out a command guidance system which would allow a missile to be guided to its target through ground based radar and computers This new missile system improved speed, range, and accuracy, and could intercept ballistic missiles. The Nike Hercules had an overall length of 41 feet, an operational range of 90 miles, a top speed of over Mach 3.65, and a flight ceiling of 150,000 feet NIKE Missile System Development . The U.S. Army Nike Missile System was developed in the 1950s to replace radar-guided anti-aircraft gun batteries deployed around critical manufacturing and population centers. The concept was to use long-range radar to acquire incoming enemy aircraft, to track the incoming target and to fire a missile at the. housed NIKE-Ajax missiles, was converted to provide for the new missiles. Only about one third of the sites nation-wide were chosen for conversion. To affect the conversion, gas detection systems were installed to detect leaks in the tritium gas detonation system and elevator motors and mechanisms that lifted the missiles to the surfac
Each base had Nike Ajax missiles, a surface-to-air missile with a conventional warhead designed to take out enemy bombers and jet fighters one by one. The system was later upgraded to Nike Hercules, a faster, longer-range missile with a nuclear warhead, designed to take out an entire formation of bombers with a single blast Nike ,is for the ancient Greeks the goodness of the Victory and for the Us Army the name given to a guided surface-to-air missile systeme program . He was planning during the last months of WW2 when US.Army realized that conventional anti-aircraft artillery would not be able to provide an adequate defense against the fast, high-flying jet aircraft which were being introduced into service. Nike Missile Sites and their missiles were constructed from the mid 1950's to the early 1960's. The Missile sites consisted of two separate units that were one to two miles away from each other. One unit was known as Integrated Fire Control Area which tracked enemy aircrafts and guided missiles to their targets | aerospace |

Iwaya said the aircraft sent an “aborting practice” signal and disappeared from radar.
The fighter jet went missing at 7.27 p.m. on Tuesday as it was flying 135km east of Misawa, a city in northeast Japan.
It lost contact about 30 minutes after taking off from the Misawa Air Base. No problems with the aircraft had previously been reported, according to Japan’s public broadcaster NHK.
Rescue teams were continuing their search for the male pilot who was in his 40s, reports said.
Japan has been deploying F-35s, which cost at least $90 million, to replace its ageing F-4 fighter jets.
The country has now grounded its 12 remaining F-35 fighter jets at the Misawa base temporarily, said Defence Minister Takeshi Iwaya. (Agencies) | aerospace |

A State funded airline named either Mihin or Mihindu.....why does that sound so familiar..............
Oh wait...here's a much needed clarification:
"..one of the proposed names Mihin or Mihindu, was the Sanskrit version of Mahinda.."
That certainly clears things up for me....

A french horn player in the U.S. Navy band, Frank was aboard the battleship USS Pennsylvania on December 7, 1941, witnessing the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. As the band played morning colors, Frank saw the first bomb drop and explode at a hangar on Ford Island. After seven years of playing horn, he became a Navy bandleader, retiring in 1968.
“I’m about the last one (Pearl Harbor survivor) left around here,” Emond said during a drive-by birthday party last year at the Gonzalez United Methodist Church.
He remained a music man; sometimes leading the music at Gonzalez Methodist and performing with the Pensacola Civic Band. The Guinness Book of World Records named him the “Oldest Musical Conductor” in the world after he participated in a 2019 Memorial Day concert.
After receiving his B.S. degree in aeronautical engineering from Parks College of St. Louis University in 1954, Kranz was commissioned in the U.S. Air Force, and flew high performance jet fighter aircraft, including the F-80, F-86, and F-100. In 1958, he worked as a flight-test engineer for McDonnell Aircraft, developing the Quail Decoy Missile for B-52 and B-47 aircraft. Kranz joined the NASA Space Task Group at Langley, Virginia, in 1960, and was assigned the position of assistant flight director for Project Mercury. He assumed flight director duties for all Project Gemini Missions, and was branch chief for Flight Control Operations. He was selected as division chief for Flight Control in 1968, and continued his duties as a flight director for the Apollo 11 Lunar Landing before taking over the leadership of the Apollo 13 “Tiger Team.” He was discharged from the Air Force Reserve as a Captain in 1972. He contributed his expertise to a number of other NASA missions during his career, including the Skylab Program. After the Skylab Program concluded, he was named deputy director of Flight Operations for NASA, which gave him the responsibility for space flight planning, training and mission operations, aircraft operations, and flight crew operations. In 1983, he was assigned the post of director of Mission Operations, and given the responsibility for all aspects of mission design, development, maintenance, and operations of all related mission facilities, as well as the preparation of the Space Shuttle flight software. Kranz has received many awards and honors, including the Presidential Medal of Freedom, which he received from President Nixon for the Apollo 13 mission, and his designation as a Distinguished Member of the Senior Executive Service by President Reagan. After retirement Kranz served as a flight engineer on a B-17 “Flying Fortress”, constructed an aerobatic bi-plane and in April 2000 published a memoir about his experiences in the space program, Failure is Not an Option: Mission Control from Mercury to Apollo 13 and Beyond. His book, a New York Times Bestseller, has been selected by the History Channel as the basis for a documentary on Mission Control. He and his wife are the parents of six children, and reside in Texas.
Jerry L. Ross
Ross is a retired United States Air Force officer, engineer and a former NASA astronaut. He is a veteran of seven Space Shuttle missions, making him the joint record holder for most spaceflights (a record he shares with Franklin Chang-Diaz). His papers, photographs and many personal items are in the Barron Hilton Flight and Space Exploration Archives at Purdue University. He was inducted into the Astronaut Hall of Fame during ceremonies in May 2014.
Ross is the author of Spacewalker: My Journey in Space and Faith as NASA’s Record-Setting Frequent Flyer (Purdue University Press, 2013) with John Norberg. In March 2014 it was announced Spacewalker would be available in a French translation through the specialist aerospace publisher Altipresse.
Ralph Coleman Graham
Author of “12 Minutes: The Untold Story of the Ghost Plane at the Battle of the Bulge”, Ralph Coleman tells the true, and riveting, story of divine intervention in one of WWII’s most historic battles. Coleman, at the age of eighteen, volunteered fourteen months before the beginning of the attack at Pearl Harbor and the Declaration of War. Graham’s book conveys the horror and turmoil of the Battle with both striking honesty and commendable stoicism and objectivity. Above all else, however, the book excels as an examination of God’s guiding hand in the affairs of man and an account of one celestial intervention in particular that brought a crew of young Americans safely home from Europe while thousands perished all around them.
William "Buzz" Barron
“Buzz” Barron’s book, Crew Chief, be he ne’er so vile, provides more than a glimpse into what it took to maintain, service, launch, and recover the workhorse of the air war up North. His story is more than just what it was like to be a crew chief; it is about growing up, it is about life. He presents his story with great detail in the vernacular of his native language – Texan! His writing is full of earnest passion, humility, and empathy, sprinkled with subtle humor and some out right passages of out loud laughter.
Col. Joe McPhail
McPhail flew with the most successful Marine Fighting Squadron of 1945 was VMF-323, the “Death Rattlers”. In just a few weeks, they shot down 124½ Japanese and counted a dozen Aces. Col. McPhail downed a Zeke and, on April 12, 1945, while on patrol flying a F4U Corsair, shot day Ki-27 Nate. He is also a decorated combat pilot veteran of the Korean War.
MSgt Wes Fields
Master Sergeant Fields is a 24-year service and a combat veteran. He earned 62 decorations and awards while serving in the United States Air Force as an Aerial Gunner on the AC-130H Spectre Gunship assigned to the United States Air Force Special Operations Command. He participated in numerous special operation missions throughout the world.
CW 4 Daniel Flores
Flores is a native Houstonian and flew the AH-64 Apache helicopter. Flores was activated in 2005 to be deployed to Afghanistan for Operation Enduring Freedom and, during his one year tour, was witness to the resurgence of the Taliban. Flores participated on some of the fiercest fighting in the Hindu Kush Mountains.
Dr. Du Hua
Dr. Du Hua, a Navy veteran, was born in Vietnam during the war and lived under communist rule until escaping in 1981 and coming to the United States a year later. After learning English and earning a GED and an associate’s degree, Dr. Hua joined the United States Navy in 1987. He served multiple deployments, including Operation Desert Storm. After his military career, he became a pharmacist.
George W.S. Abbey
George Abbey is a former director of the Johnson Space Center (JSC) and Fellow in Space Policy at the Baker Institute of Rice University. He had more influence on human spaceflight than almost anyone in history. Abbey oversaw the selection of every astronaut class from 1978 to 1987, deciding who got to fly and when. He was with the Apollo 1 astronauts the night before the fatal fire in January 1967. He was in mission control the night of the Apollo 13 accident and organized the recovery effort. Abbey also led NASA’s recruitment of women and minorities as space shuttle astronauts and was responsible for hiring Sally Ride.
Maj. Terry Pappas
Terry Pappas spent 41 years flying for the USAF and NASA, including service during the Vietnam era. He has flown a wide array of aircraft from the T-38, Learjets, Gulfstreams, the Super Guppy, DC-9s, and the SR-71 Blackbird. With more than 10,000 hours, Terry retired from NASA in 2011.
Captain Mike Trahan
Mike Trahan was a pilot in Vietnam flying the AC-47 “Spooky” gunship. After graduation from Air Force Undergraduate Pilot Training, he spent two years in the Military Airlift Command, flying the C-141 Starlifter jet transport aircraft. In 1969, he was re-assigned to the AC-47 “Spooky” Gunship and later to the EC-47 Electric Countermeasures aircraft. He served a year of combat in Vietnam in those two aircraft.
Cdr. Randall Harold "Duke" Cunningham
Cdr. Randall Harold “Duke” Cunningham was an officer in the U.S. Navy for 20 years. Together with his Radar Intercept Officer, William P. “Irish” Driscoll, Cunningham became the only navy flying ace from the Vietnam War to obtain five confirmed aerial victories during that conflict, and one of only five U.S. aviators to become an ace during that conflict. To date, Cunningham and Driscoll are the two last aircrew of the United States Navy to achieve “ace” status. Following the war, Cunningham was later an instructor at the U.S. Navy’s Fighter Weapons School, better known as TOPGUN, and commanding officer of Fighter Squadron 126 (VF-126), a shore-based adversary squadron at NAS Miramar, California.
Col. (Ret.) Victor "Vic" Vizacarra, Cdr. Mark Vizcarra and Capt. Michael Vizcarra
A family tradition comes to the Legends and Heroes tent this year. Vic Vzcarra, Col. (Ret.) will be accompanied by his sons, Cdr. Mark Vizcarra, USN and Capt Michael Vizcarra, USN. Mark and Michael have provided 51 years of combined Navy military service to the United States, flying the F-14 Tomcat, F/A-18 Hornet and Super Hornet. Graduates of the Navy Fighter Weapons Schools (Top Gun), they served on 14 different aircraft carriers and participated in “Southern Watch”, “Desert Storm”, and “Enduring Freedom”. The two brothers followed the family military aviation tradition and are the sons of Col. (Ret.) Victor Vizcarra, F-105 Vietnam Veteran and nephews of Maj. (deceased) Gilbert Vizcarra who flew P-47s in World War II.
Sadly, we have more to add to this display and will be updating this list. | aerospace |

MIAMI - Previously The Ledger in Lakeland reported the city of Lakeland was negotiating with Falcon Air to provide scheduled passenger flights from the underutilized airport. The last scheduled passenger service at LAL was provided by DirectAir (operated by Sky King Airlines). LAL is located very close to Disney World and is situated between Orlando and Tampa.
According to the report, Falcon Air is considering scheduled air service to Baton Rouge, Branson, Chicopee (Massachusetts), Huntsville, Jackson, Lansing (or Kalamazoo) and Newport News/Williamsburg. Service could start in June.
The business model is likely to be the same as used by Allegiant Air which serves small cities initially with minimal service and flies to popular holiday destinations like Orlando. Allegiant serves the Central Florida area through Sanford (SNF) (north of Orlando) and St. Petersburg/Clearwater (PIE) (west of Tampa). LAL is actually closer to Disney World than SFB. Falcon Air is likely to select small cities not already being served by Allegiant Air from Central Florida. | aerospace |

It is more obvious during descent rather than take-off. This is because during descent the plane is coming from an area of low atmospheric pressure down to ground level where the air pressure is significantly higher, this causes the eardrum to retract and stretch and in some cases it can be painful. During take-off and ascent, the eardrum bulges outwards. This is because the pressure around you is dropping but it is easier for the middle ear to relieve the increased pressure via the Eustachian Tube (acting like an escape valve say on a pressure cooker) so most people do not experience any great difficulties as a plane climbs.
The Eustachian Tube is normally ‘patent’ (closed) and opens when we swallow, yawn or chew. However, common causes of a blocked Eustachian Tube arise from mucus and inflammation that can occur with colds, throat infections, hay fever, etc. The mucous membrane lining in the Eustachian Tube can become swollen and inhibit the flow of air through it. This in turns makes it more difficult for the air pressure in the middle ear to equalise to the environmental outside air pressure. | aerospace |

Today at Chandigarh Air Force Station, the Indian Air Force commemorated its 90th anniversary. Air Chief Marshall VR Chaudhary, India’s Air Chief, reviewed the parade and announced the creation of a new operational branch of the Air Force.
Indian Air Force also unveiled a new combat uniform on its 90th anniversary.
“The creation of WS branch would entail unification of all weapon system operators under one entity dedicated to the operational employment of all ground-based and specialist airborne weapon systems.”, the Indian Ministry of Defense (MoD) said in a statement.
“The branch would encompass operators in four specialized streams of Surface-to-Surface missiles, Surface-to-Air missiles, Remotely Piloted Aircraft, and Weapon System Operators in twin/multi-crew aircraft”, India’s MoD added.
“On this historic occasion, it’s my privilege to announce that the government has approved the creation of a Weapon System Branch for the officers in the IAF. This is the first time since independence that a new operational branch is being created. This will essentially be for manning of force specialized streams of surface-to-surface missiles, surface-to-air missiles, unmanned aerial vehicles, and weapon system operators in twin and multi-crew aircraft,” Air chief VR Chaudhary said. | aerospace |

Jennifer Fowler and her crews have been doing it for six years.
Pop, pop, pop. More than two dozen times over that span, and nary a pin or needle in sight.
Monday morning, on a big ranch near the little town of Augusta, they did it again - not in the name of childlike glee, but in the name of science.
As dawn broke on the ranch, Fowler's students began rigging up the latex inflatable, tying up a payload of electronic sensors and opening up the helium tank valves to balloon the balloon to a diameter of nine feet.
Half an hour passed.
"I think we're ready to do the countdown!" Fowler yelled to the five college students and four high-schoolers involved in this forensic floating field test.
"OK, a short one!" answered Jordan Rooklyn, a University of Montana economics major. "Three ... two ... one ... let it go!"
Up, up and away went the 20-somethingth launch of a BOREALIS atmosphere balloon, on a journey that would take it to the edge of space and 54 miles southwest of the ranch over a period of more than two hours.
At 101,000 feet, with air pressure a fraction of what it is on Earth's surface, the balloon, now 42 feet in diameter and its skin stretched thin, succumbed to its inward pressure.
BOREALIS is a big acronym for a pretty simple program.
Both educational and scientific in mission, the Balloon Outreach Research, Exploration and Landscape Imaging System puts middle-school and high-school students on the ground researching atmospheric data - everything from air temperature to particulate count to ozone density to the strength of ultraviolet radiation.
"We all know the basic concepts of how the atmosphere works and what the balloon is doing," said Marni Jacobs, of Missoula, who is on summer break from Williams College in Massachusetts, where she is a student. "But a lot of BOREALIS is outreach, so we show middle-school and high-school students about how things like Geiger counters work."
A program of the NASA-funded Montana Space Grant Consortium, BOREALIS originated at Montana State University and branched off to the UM campus in 2004.
Every launch starts here, on this ranch owned by retired science teacher Roger King, a site chosen for its ideal wind conditions. And every launch brings something new to the edge of space.
On Monday, it was a "sonic thermometer," an experimental technology built to measure air temperature by bouncing sound waves between two electric nodes.
It was developed and built by Anasphere Inc., of Bozeman, with a NASA Small Business Innovation research grant.
"They built it and handed it off to me," said Fowler, who is employed by UM's physics and astronomy department. "I have the instructions. And I get to turn it on."
Will the device work? The data recorded and recovered will tell in the coming days.
Recovery is the top priority.
GPS data is broadcast from the balloon's cargo, picked up by antennae mounted on a UM van, then routed to a laptop computer loaded with a program that can, every few seconds, place the balloon precisely where - and how far above Earth - it is.
J.P. Crawford, a UM physics major, kept an eye on the digital readout of his handheld receiver.
"We can hook these into a computer, which has software than can create points on a map," he said as the receiver squawked out altitudes of 12,000, 19,000, 36,000 feet. "We want to be able to track it."
Track it all the way up during its two-hour ascent, and all the way down during its hourlong freefall.
At 101,000 feet, the balloon burst just shy of the 113,000-foot record. Its electronic payload, housed in Styrofoam, then fell to Earth, landing 54 miles southwest on a farmer's land.
Already on motoring down the road and following its flight path via laptop was Team BOREALIS, which picked up the cargo with the help of a nice farmer.
And that's how you pop a balloon.

by Bill Evans
Orion at Nantes, France on the day after delivery from California Nov. 3, 1989
I had no accurate indication of my altitude. I needed to break out below the cloud base at a rate of descent less than 500 feet per minute in case the cloud base was low over the Denmark straight. If I was losing height at say 1500 fpm, I would have little time to pullup and could possibly fly into the sea with little or no chance of survival.
I could see nothing out of the windshield owing to a film of ice. I decided to open a side cockpit window. The side windows on the GullWing roll down like a car window. I shone my flash light, holding it outside. I was no longer in cloud but there was still ice on the wing struts. I pointed the flash light beam down and saw white caps which I calculated were around 2000 feet below. I still had no flight instruments.
I decided to descend lower in the hope of a rise in temperature above freezing level. Just as I was wondering if I could fly the next 200 nms keeping level on the attitude indicator gaging my altitude by shining my flash light on the ocean, ice started to break off the windshield and wing struts.
Then to my intense relief the ASI came alive, and the altimeter indicated 2900 feet. I leveled out just under the cloud base at 3000 feet. I don't think in my 40 years as a pilot I had ever been in a similar situation. I was helped by a very stable airplane.
After I settled down to straight and level flight cruising at 110 knots, I needed to know my position. I started receiving Iceland radio, they had picked up my transponder and informed me I was 180 nms west of Reykjavik. They requested my fuel state. They were unable to read my transmission so by telling me to select a given code if I had two hours or more endurance I was able to let them know I had at least two hours fuel.
After an hour I saw lights ahead . ATC gave me the runway in use at Reykjavik airport. I had been hand flying for eight hours, most of the time in darkness. I was getting tired and had to concentrate hard on my flying. After a seemingly endless approach Orion touched down. It was mid night.
A small gathering of antique aircraft enthusiasts were waiting. They told me Icelandair had two GullWings on floats just after WW2.
After clearing customs I tied down the GullWing and booked a room at the airport hotel. I slept for 10 hours.
Next day I called my family in Colorado saying I was safely in Iceland. I taxied the GullWing over to a maintenance hangar where they changed the oil and a television crew took some video of the airplane.
The next day Nov. 4, a snow storm and high wind gave me another day's rest .
Next day, on a perfect morning, I took off for Glasgow Scotland.
In good visibility I followed the Iceland coast and then started the North Sea crossing. After overflying the Fair Isles I crossed the Outer Hebrides and landed at Glasgow airport after an 8 hour flight as dusk was gathering.
After a night stop, I filed VFR for Nantes France. The good weather held. As I approached the English channel I had to avoid one or two build ups. I never realised the amount of shipping that used the channel. When I was working Guernsey radio they asked me where I had flown from. I said California the reply was " You must be kidding".
I landed at Nantes airport mid afternoon after a 5 hour flight. The new owner and the local flying club produced a bottle of champagne. They had built a special hangar
Next day I had to make a short flight for the local television.
After leaving Nantes, I rode the high speed rail to Paris. It felt as tho' I was moving faster than my 72 flying hours flight in the GullWing.
It took three weeks to deliver the airplane and the Lycoming radial never missed a beat, A tribute to the mechanics in Van Nuys California who had rebuilt the engine.
The years went by and the flight of Orion faded into the past. Then 22 years later last summer I received an e mail from an Air France Captain telling me he had bought Orion in Nantes.
The old airplane was in need of restoring. The Captain had traced my flight from the airplane log books. He wanted to know details of the flight as he said his friends would not believe the Gull Wing had been flown from California. I am 87 years old and gave up flying 12 years ago but that e mail made me feel good. Next week the restoration will be completed, and Eric, the new owner hopes to test fly the 70 year old Gull Wing.
Note I hope to send a couple of pictures soon.
This is a flying story in 3 parts.... Did you miss Flight of the Orion Part 1? Go back and start there, and don't miss Flight of the Orion Part 2. Wow!
Find 'em, See 'em, Fly,'em! And have a great flight!

Aviation pioneer Otto Lilienthal was born in the town of Anklam in what was then the Kingdom of Prussia (now part of the Federal Republic of Germany). Lilienthal would be called everything from the “Glider King” to “The Father of Flight” for his efforts to make human aviation much more of a reality than it had been before. He did so by making numerous sustained gliding flights that were not only successful but well-documented.
Lilienthal’s fascination with the possibility of human flight started early on in life. Along with his younger brother Gustav, he studied the flight of birds. His interest in airborne pursuits only grew stronger in young adulthood, and in 1889 he published his famous book Birdflight as the Basis of Aviation. Starting two years later, Lilienthal pursued heavier-than-air flight by making what would amount to more than 2,000 excursions off the ground in gliders that he designed.
Lilienthal continued to painstakingly research the flight of birds, especially storks, and focus on the aerodynamics of their wings. He also found time to create models of various aircraft, including a dozen monoplanes and two biplanes. Lilienthal achieved international acclaim as reports of his flights spread well beyond his native country and throughout the world, with photographs of him using a glider showing up in various publications. (The above photo of Lilienthal getting ready to fly was taken in 1894.)
Tragically, however, Lilienthal died in 1896 after falling to the ground from a glider that he was flying. His last words to his brother Gustav were “sacrifices must be made.” Lilienthal’s legacy has lived on, and no less a force in human aviation than the Wright Brothers credited him with inspiring their own efforts to pursue heavier-than-air flight. “Of all the men who attacked the flying problem in the 19th century, Otto Lilienthal was easily the most important,” noted Wilbur Wright.

Yesterday, AeroVironment (Monrovia, CA), announced that it had got its Nano Hummingbird to precisely hover and fly forward, fast. Weighing two thirds of an ounce, including batteries and video cameras, the prototype was built as part of the DARPA Nano Air Vehicle program.
The final concept demonstrator is capable of climbing and descending vertically, flying sideways left and right, flying forward and backward, as well as rotating clockwise and counter-clockwise, under remote control. During the demonstration the Nano Hummingbird flew in and out of a building through a normal-size doorway.
The hand-made prototype aircraft has a wingspan of 16 cm (6.5 inches) and can fitted with a removable body fairing, which is shaped to have the appearance of a hummingbird. The company, which makes a variety of unmanned aerial vehicles used by the military, says the Nano is larger and heavier than an average hummingbird, but is smaller and lighter than the largest hummingbird currently found in nature.

Aircraft on Ground is a term in aircraft maintenance indicating that a problem is serious enough to prevent an aircraft from flying.
Many companies are promoting their services as AOG support, 24/7 support and not many parties are doing a special focus on the engines on ground support as a one stop solution.
During this Covid-19 lockdown it came to my mind why not to implement term EOG (engine on ground) in our aviation terminology vocabulary. Whether it is on wing or on engine stand, we can segregate such a big scope of services your engine shall require when it is on the ground.
Engine On Ground - When on Wing:
Engine On Ground - When Removed:
Due to Covid-19 lockdown our partners and friends have already faced the necessity to make end of lease of part of their fleets and to return back engines to leasing companies or owners. At the same time leasing companies and asset owners faced the necessity to inspect their assets before signing Acceptance/Delivery Certificate, however it is hardly possible to travel around the globe now. That means it is high time to consolidate our intentions and arrange a subcontracted tasks throughout the chain of our aviation network. A group of our companies provides full support for CFM 56 engines in UAE, US and Ukraine. We can make a one stop project for you including all the mentioned services and even more to minimize your expenses, save time and keep your projects in a professional team hands. | aerospace |

Yes there is. One way is to cary an inertial navigation system and
compare you position using INS and GPS and if they differ try and
guess which is correct. You can also have the third nab system that
uses radar to match the topography. Cruise missile cary all three
but then those were designed to cary atomic warheads. My bet is this
drone was considered expendable and build as cheaply as something like
this can be built
I doubt one could spoof GPS to the degree required to land an
airplane. But looks at how straight the skin is, I doubt it crashed
into the ground either.
I suspect this drone did not use any truly sensitive technology as
they had to figure a few would crash or get shot down.

Titan Dragon lander and Titan orbit rendezvous(TOR)
The recent fly by of Titan by Cassini occurs at a flyby velocity of 5.8 Kilometers per second, well with in the Dragon Earth orbit reentry speeds.
Dragon TPS should able to handle EDL at Titan from Saturn Orbit.In this concept Dragon does a Titan EDL and splash down,we need to modal Dragon mass and buoyancy on a LCH4 sea.
Dragon deploys smaller surface and submersibles patterned after existing proposals such as Time and TSSM. Extensive mass manufacture of balloon probes from Yellow Dragon could bring down science instruments costs.
Its important to note
THE BUSINESS CASE
We recover our costs by selling science data to NASA as an anchor tenant and other space agency’s and by selling space on the spacecraft as a science “hosted payload”
A Titan site!
update 17 June 2014;
It’s important to note that recent advances in commercial crew have brought advances to the SpaceX Dragon capsule that could have implications to non crewed planetary missions,automated docking for one,this would allow for a TOR or Titan orbit rendezvous . Dragon could EDL the surface of Titan and bring along deploy-able instruments and a Titan ascent vehicle. Since we are using a two Dragon capsule flight system to areobrake at Titan a Dragon remains in Titan orbit to TOR with the ascent vehicle with a sample return.perhaps with ISRU the Dragon Titan lander could make it back into orbit? | aerospace |

SRIHARIKOTA: “This is yet another milestone achieved by Isro. Of the 20 satellites that were launched, 17 are from other countries,” said Isro chairman A S Kiran Kumar, lauding the new landmark achieved by his team in the record launch of 20 satellites in a single mission through PSLV-C34 rocket.
Mr Kumar said their current aim was to increase the participation of industry and academia in the sphere of space. “Of the 20 satellites, 17 were of commercial purpose. Thus, space can be a good area for business interests,” he said, adding the Isro was consistently working on reducing the cost of access to space.
On Wednesday, re-ignition of the engine was the unique experimentation for the PSLV launch. According to Dr K Sivan, Director, Vikram Sarabhai Space Center, Trivandrum, the launches were made in different orbits to reduce the cost of launch operations.
“On specific demands from consumers and aiming to reduce the cost, after the satellites are launched, the four-stage engine is re-ignited,” Dr Sivan added.
“Today not only did we set a record by having launched a total of 113 satellites, team Isro made it by overcoming the complexities in mission planning and making this mission successful with a limited payload volume available,” said P. Kunhikrishnan, Director, Satish Dhawan Space Centre (SDSC), Sriharikota.
MISSIONS ON THE RADAR
In the next mission of Isro, the C35, the SCATSAT and ALSAT, a similar re-ignition experiment, will be carried out, Kiran Kumar said.
SCATSAT would be carrying a scatterometer that would enable motion wind vector information to be generated, which would be extremely useful for weather monitoring and forecast.
According to him, GSAT18 was initially scheduled for July, but has now been put off to second half of September 2016. Isro was also trying to increase the launches to 12 – 18 per year. With Pakistan opting out of the SAARC satellite, it would now be launched in between December 2016 and March 2017, as the South East Asian satellite.

Today’s topic is a hot one, especially for the focus on ecology of the present day.
We will go through the history of rocket launches to compare how the attention to reusability has changed over the years. Starting with the forerunners of the last decades of the XX century, we will pass through the present-day reusable rockets and, finally, introduce the important project for the upcoming ones.
Before starting the article, I would like to specify that we will only talk about orbital rockets; if you want to know more about the suborbital launch vehicles, we can make a separate article. Let’s start!
Space Shuttle, the first Reusable Rocket
The history of rocket reusability starts with the Space Shuttle, the most famous rocket of all time; everyone knows about this one, even people outside the space industry. In my opinion, the most memorable moment of the Space Shuttle flight is the landing; watching the landing of an aircraft that is coming back from space is incredible! And, in fact, the innovation of the Space Shuttle is precisely its reusability. But let’s dig deeper!
The Space Shuttle — which launched for the first time on April 12th, 1981 — is a rocket composed of an external tank, with two side solid boosters, and an orbiter, which is its spaceplane component. The only part not recovered after a launch was the external tank. Instead, the solid rocket boosters landed in the ocean with the help of parachutes; after their splashdown in the Atlantic Ocean, NASA recovered, examined, refurbished, and reused these boosters. The orbiter, as I mentioned before, landed as an airplane after its mission in space.
The Space Shuttle is a really interesting topic to study in great detail, and we’d love to explore all its launches; however, that is beside the point of this article. If you want to delve deeper into the Space Shuttle, or any other rocket, you can write it down in the Chatbox.
The SpaceX Revolution
With regard to reusability, the most important company to catch up with is, undoubtedly, SpaceX. Their Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy are, in the present day, the most reused rockets: both the first stage, the boosters (for Falcon Heavy), and the fairing envelope return to Earth after their mission.
The recovery of the first stage has been a milestone for the advancement of SpaceX. The first attempt at a controlled landing on the ocean was on April 2014. The second important step was the first landing on a ground pad, on December 2015, with the Booster B1019; but, the turning point arrived in April 2016 with the landing of Booster B1021, which, on March 2017, became the first reused booster. Since that day, SpaceX has made great strides: over 170 successful landings and two different boosters that have been reused fifteen times!
The success of the first stage’s reusability was reflected in the boosters of Falcon Heavy. Since its maiden flight with the launch of the Tesla Roadster, both the first stage and the boosters were recovered; I’m pretty sure that everyone remembers the emblematic landing of those two boosters. If not, I recommend watching it!
As was alluded to before, SpaceX, also, recovers the fairing envelope of its rockets. This may not seem like much, but recovering and reusing the fairing envelope allows the company to avoid producing it for every launch; the estimate of the savings is about $6 million per launch!
Electron First Stage
Since we are on the subject of first-stage reusability, Rocket Lab Electron deserves a mention. The company is testing the recovery of its first stage with the use of parachutes. Since 2020, they have realized 3 successful splashdowns.
Please note we are talking about two very different rockets: the first stage of Falcon 9 is more than 40 m in height, while the whole of Electron is less than 20 m.
The reusability of Pegasus-XL and LauncherOne
It is worth mentioning another type of reusability: the air launch. The so-called Air-Launch-to-Orbit method is a rocket launch from an airplane. Northrop Grumman with its Pegasus has been the first to reach orbit with ALTO method. The first successful launch was in 1990, not many years after the first launch of the Space Shuttle! Since then, Northrop Grumman launched 40 successful rockets.
The only other company that was able to use this method was Virgin Orbit with its LauncherOne. The development of this rocket, however, is more recent: its first successful launch was at the beginning of 2021.
But what are the advantages and reusability of launching from an airplane? Well, I think that it is almost obvious, so we will go through this pretty quickly. Little premise: we are talking about very small rockets, about 20 m in height, since they need to be carried on an aircraft. The airplane, in this case, represents a sort of first stage for the rocket. It carries the rocket to about 11 km above ground and then releases it. In terms of reusability, this implies that this first stage, after releasing the rocket, will come back to the ground as a normal airplane. So it will be 100% reusable for the next mission.
For the other pros and cons of The ALTO method, you can read the article “Air Launch vs Vertical Liftoff“.
What comes next?
In the future, the most important achievement will be the launch of a fully reusable rocket.
The one we are waiting for with trepidation is the SpaceX Starship (check its updates in the article SpaceX Starship). The Starship system, made up of the Superheavy, the booster, and the ship “Starship”, will be fully reusable. The booster, 69 m tall, will land to Earth after separating from Starship and will be caught with the arm of the Starship tower, called Mechazilla. The Ship, instead, will not only land on the Terran ground, but also on the Lunar and Martian ones.
In this next paragraph, we have a new character in the space landscape: Relativity. Relativity, a company that is building fully 3D printed rockets, will launch its first rocket Terran 1, in the next few days; however, they are already thinking of its big brother, Terran R, which will be a fully reusable rocket and is currently under development. Relativity is planning to launch Terran R next year. Make sure to stay up-to-date on its launch schedule!
Also, Rocket Lab is taking a little step toward building a partially reusable rocket: the Neutron. This rocket will be much bigger than its little brother Electron: it will be able to carry about 8000 kg to LEO in its reusable configuration. Rocket Lab is planning to land the first stage on a platform in the Ocean, following the Falcon 9 landings.
- Vulcan Centaur: a new rocket with its maiden flight scheduled for the end of this month. This is a ULA product, and even though — in its first launches — it will be fully expandable, ULA is working to develop techniques to reuse the engines and the boosters. We will keep an eye on it!
- New Glenn: Blue Origin, the rocket company founded by Jeff Bezos, is designing a heavy-lift launch vehicle with the first stage being fully reusable. The rocket is scheduled to launch in 2024.
- Since we are a European company, we want to mention the ESA project. This was just presented during the inauguration of the new European Space Center, in Esrange. The rocket is Themis, and it is designed to be a reusable one. It will pave the way for the reusable launcher Ariane Next, which should first take flight in the 2030s.
We just went through a fast roundup of various rockets, but what was the real objective? We wanted to highlight how the space industry is moving ahead to improve its launch vehicles. Reusability is, without a doubt, an important turning point for preserving raw materials. A launch will no longer correspond to the loss of all materials needed to construct the rocket. Furthermore, reusable rockets will reduce the industries’ pollution for the production of rockets.
Last, but not least, the reusability will reduce the costs of launching rockets, making the space industry more accessible for the smaller operators. Just think about how the recovering of the fairing envelope — which is very small with respect to the overall rocket — is saving about $6 million per launch.
This is where we end our article on reusable rockets. I hope you enjoyed it and that you will come back next Wednesday for a new Technical Capsule. Next month we will have articles on the Pollution from a Rocket Launch, so I will see you back here for those! | aerospace |

The announcement comes after the FAA forced SpaceX to get rid of the release because it investigated a preceding explosion of a similar rocket prototype.
The destroyed car, SpaceX’s Starship SN9, have emerge as an early prototype for a rocket the organization agency hopes will deliver the primary humans to Mars. Launched in a immoderate-altitude test flight Tuesday, the automobile traveled some miles up inside the air, hovered for a 2d, after which achieved a stomach flop-like maneuver on descent earlier than making an explosive touchdown all over again at the discharge pad.
“The FAA’s top priority in regulating agency location transportation is ensuring that operations are comfortable, no matter the reality that there can be an anomaly,” an enterprise spokesperson said in a assertion, using the company time period for a launch failure. “The FAA will oversee the research of these days’ touchdown mishap regarding the SpaceX Starship SN9 prototype in Boca Chica, Texas. Although this modified into an unscrewed test flight, the investigation becomes privy to the inspiration cause of in recent times’ mishap and viable opportunities to similarly enhance protection because of the reality the software develops.”
Spokesperson of SpaceX Stated
When requested how the research will be accomplished, the spokesperson stated “we have now not something further to function this night time.”
But public FAA files say that when a rocket “mishap” takes place, the FAA’s Office of Commercial Space Transportation “also can select to behavior the research or authorize the release operator to conduct the research” under FAA supervision.
The FAA defines a mishap as a “release or reentry coincidence, release or reentry incident, release website online twist of fate, failure to complete a launch or reentry as deliberate, or an unplanned occasion or collection of sports activities resulting in as an entire lot as $25,000 well truly worth of damage, a fatality or critical damage.
During the release the rocket’s 3 engines ignited, grew to grow to be off, and then re-ignited for the landing as planned, but the rocket burst right into a fireball while it once more to the release pad. It modified into no longer right now clean what went wrong.
The take a look at launch comes after the 160-foot tall rocket prototype were stranded on its Launchpad inside the Texas over the weekend.
It turn out to be poised to take off for the take a look at release closing week, however it stayed grounded because of the truth SpaceX violated a public safety agreement it had with federal regulators for the duration of a previous check release, in line with the Federal Aviation Administration.
Last Thursday, with Starship SN9 fueled and able to launch at any 2d, the FAA dispatched out a lovely advisory that stated the discharge have been scrubbed.
The FAA, which oversees US airspace further to licenses rocket launches, ordered SpaceX to halt operations at its attempting out centers in South Texas “that would have an impact on public safety,” the agency said. After formerly declining to touch upon its research, which modified into first stated by means of the use of The Verge, the FAA stated Tuesday that it concluded this week that SpaceX took “corrective motion” and is now complying with public safety suggestions. The enterprise organization did no longer disclose the person of the general public safety hassle or what corrective movement modified into undertaken.
The FAA turn out to be already targeted on reconfiguring its launch licensing manner to make it greater “streamlined.” But it’s not clean if the updated strategies, which can be expected to enter effect inside the close to destiny, ought to have helped SpaceX short gain authorization to loosen most of the people protection regulations on its release license that it requested previous to the SN8 launch.
SpaceX already has but some incredible Starship prototype, SN10, assembled.
It’s no longer easy at the identical time because the business enterprise will try and release it, however over the weekend, the company commercial enterprise employer rolled the car out a launch pad adjoining to wherein the SN9 took off.

But the launch will depend on the weather conditions as the launch site at Cape Canaveral, Florida is experiencing some unfavourable weather. The launch will probably be delayed. The most recent which provides NASA details about the weather condition says that there is only a 60% chance of the test flight taking place as scheduled.
The weather forecast by the 45th Weather Squadron signalled that there will be chances of rain and thunderstorm over the Space Coast. They also added that there are chances that it will be held off until the launch. If the launch does not take place today, then it will be changed to tomorrow.
NASA has certain launch criteria for a ULA Atlas V rocket in which it clearly states that the launch cannot happen “through or within five to ten miles of cumulus clouds with tops that extend into freezing temperatures unless specified conditions and distances can be met” and also it states that “(d)o not launch within 10 nautical miles of the edge of a thunderstorm that is producing lightning for 30 minutes after the last.”
After the launch, Starliner will stay at the ISS for five days and then return and have a parachute-assisted landing in the New Mexico desert. This mission is the second of Boeing’s ISS mission after the failure of a mission in December 2019 when various software issues prevented the spacecraft from entering the right orbit.
If the launch becomes a success, then NASA will have a new option for the transport of astronauts and goods between Earth and the ISS. Now it has SpaceX’s Crew Dragon spacecraft for the same. | aerospace |

The number of significant satellite breakup events has averaged about four per year and the cataloged debris population (10 cm in size or larger) has increased at a nearly constant linear rate of 200 objects per year since the beginning of the space age.
Satellites are required to meet the 25-year rule, which is a limitation in the maximum orbital lifetime for orbiting spacecraft proposed in 2002 by the United Nations Inter Agency Space Debris Coordination Committee (IADC). The 25-year rule was slightly revised in 2007 in order to reduce the buildup of orbital debris. Despite this and other numerous debris mitigation policies enacted and followed internationally, space junk is a growing environmental concern in many orbits. The Department of Defense (DoD) Instruction 3100.12, Space Support, requires satellites operating in LEO to de-orbit in less than 25 years at end of life (EOL); similar requirements are imposed by NASA under NSS 1740.14.
Deorbit concepts have been proposed for dealing with the growing problems posed by orbital debris. Most devices use large structures that interact with the atmosphere, magnetic field, or solar environment to deorbit large objects more rapidly than natural decay. Some devices may be better than others relative to the likelihood of collisions during their use.
This Cybrary is a repository that contains a wealth of information associated with Orbital Space Debris Mitigation, including research papers, topical information, and links.
Papers can be submitted to the Cybrary and, once they are approved by the Cybrary manager, they will be posted. | aerospace |

According to the law, airlines must employ flight attendants to ensure the safety of its customers. Besides ensuring the safety of passengers, flight attendants also are employed to ensure passengers are comfortable and that the flying experience is a pleasant one.
Approximately an hour before every flight, the captain or pilot of the plane will meet with the flight attendants and go over emergency evacuation procedures, crew coordination, and length of flight, expected weather conditions, and special passenger issues with them. Flight attendants are responsible for checking to see that first aid kits and other emergency equipment are available on the airplane and in operating condition and that cabin is nice and tidy for customers and that the plane is stocked with food, beverages, and blankets. Flight attendants will greet boarding passengers, examine their tickets, and show them where to put their coats and carry on luggage.
Prior to take off, flight attendants show passengers how to use the emergency equipment in case of a crash, ensure each passenger is properly buckled in, seats are in the upright position, and all luggage is stowed away. The biggest duty of a flight attendant, once the plane has left the ground, is to aid passengers in the event of an emergency. They might be called upon to calm passengers when planes pass through strong turbulence or usher passengers off the plane during emergency evacuation procedures. Additionally, flight attendants attend to the needs of the passengers by answering questions and concerns, distributing pillows and blankets, helping children, disabled and elderly people, and all others requiring aide. They might also perform first aide for those who are ill. They also offer beverages and snacks to passengers as well as meals on long flights. Before the plane lands, flight attendants must inventory the number of headsets, alcoholic drinks, and revenues collected. They are also responsible for reporting medical issues passengers may have experienced as well as the state of the cabin equipment. On top of their flight assignments, flight attendants might also be asked to make public relations appearances for their corporation at career days held by high schools or at fundraising campaigns, sales meetings, conventions, and other goodwill events.
Some will work as lead or first flight attendants, taking the added responsibility of overseeing other flight attendants while still completing many of the same tasks.
Since planes are constantly in the air, flight attendants may work night shifts as well as during the holidays and weekends. For the most part, airlines and unions determine the acceptable amount of work done each month. Flight attendants are in the air approximately 75 to 85 hours each and they also spend about 75 to 85 hours every month working on the ground to prepare flights, writing up reports after landings, and waiting for planes to land. Due to unorthodox scheduling and limitations on in air work time, lots of flight attendants enjoy 11 plus days off every month. They might be working away from their home hub close to a third of the time. When they are working away form their home base, the airlines cover hotel fees and provided employees with money for meals.
Fight attendants reap the benefits of lots of free time as well cheap flying fares and thus are able to travel often and experience many parts of the nation or world. However, such a job can be very hard and fatiguing as well. Shorter flight times require fast service when meals are offered, and turbulent airways can make distributing drinks, snacks, and meals difficult. Despite having to stand most of the flight, attendants must still be courteous and productive, no matter how fatigued they are or how unkind passengers might become. From time to time, flight attendants might have to handle problematic passengers.
They are also open to injury due to the conditions of working on their feet during flight. The opening of overhead bins often can result in back injuries and accidents. Additionally, flight attendants can experience health issues due to the irregular sleeping and eating habits, dealing with disruptive passengers, working in a pressurized environment, and inhaling recycled air.
In 2000, flight attendants occupied approximately 124,000 jobs. The majority of flight attendants worked for the major commercial airlines and worked out of the airline’s main hub city. A small minority of attendants are employed by large companies which operate corporate jets for business activities.
Flight Attendant Career Training and Job Qualifications
To be hired, one should be confident, diplomatic, and inventive in order to be able to perform the work and serve strangers effectively and work under stressful conditions. Normally, workers need to be 18 to 21 years old. Flight attendants should be healthy and communicate clearly. Also, there usually some height requirements for applicants and airlines look for those with proportional height and weight.
Applicants must be okay with relocating, though many are able to commute from their central hub. Applicants should have graduated form high school. People with experience in customer service or some college education are favored by the airlines. Other preferred qualities include applicants educated in or experienced with people oriented fields such as psychological or educational disciplines. Those working on international flights must be fluent in a foreign language. A few for of the major airlines favor those who fluently speak two foreign languages.
To begin with, after being hired the candidates will be formally trained. Training can last anywhere form 4 to 7 weeks, depending on the size and type of plane. Training is carried out in the flight training center of the company. Companies that don’t have training centers typically send their new workers to the training center of another company. Companies might pay for transportation to the training location as well as pay for room and board, and supplies. Those in training are official employees of the company until they have passed the training program. Some airlines make candidates pay their own way through the training program. In training candidates are taught emergency procedures like evacuating an airplane, operating emergency systems and equipment, administering first aid, and water survival tactics. Trainees also learn how to handle stressful passengers and situations related to hijacking or terrorist threats. They also are taught flight rules and duties, company operations and policies, and are instructed on personal grooming and weight control. Those hired to work international flights receive extra training related to passport and customs regulations. At the end of the training program, trainees work on practice flights. They also are required to obtain 12 to 14 hours of training each year in emergency procedures and passenger relations.
Upon completion of the training program, employees will be delegated to one of the bases of the airline. To begin with flight attendants are designated to “reserve status” and asked to work on extra flights or to fill in for other workers on sick leave or vacation. When not working, flight attendants need to be able to report to work on short notice should the occasion warrant it. Beginning flight attendants typically stay on the reserve list for at least year, though in some cities it might take 5 to 10 years to get of the list. Those not on reserve status can bid each month for regular flights and shifts. Since flights are delegated out according to seniority, only those with a lot of time on the job typically end up with the assignment desired. Presently, it takes longer to advance in seniority than in the past since many flight attendants are staying on the job longer.
Other flight attendants are promoted to supervisory positions, or take on added duties like recruiting and training. Experience as a flight attendant might enable them to take on other customer oriented jobs like ticket agent or public relations specialist.
Flight Attendant Job and Employment Opportunities
Prospects are good as the number looking for flight attendant jobs is projected to equal the number of jobs open. For the best prospects, one will need 2 or more years of college education as well as experience working with public. Through 2010, most of the job openings that become available will be a result of flight attendants who leave the work force or take on other jobs. The job attracts many due to the airlines associated glamour and the chance it grants to workers to travel. However, many employees eventually leave the industry as they desire higher paying jobs as well as an occupation that allows them to spend nights with their families.
Employment of flight attendants is projected to rise on pace with the average for all occupations through 2010. Increases in both population and income are projected to increase the amount of airline customers. Airlines can increase their capacity through increases in the size and number of their fleet. More attendants will have to be hired since FAA regulations require there be one attendant for every 50 seats.
Employment of flight attendants can be very sensitive to economic conditions. When the economy is on the decline, the demand for flights falls, and thus many employees experience reduced hours or are laid off all together. New flight attendants will not be brought on until demand rises again.
Historical Earnings Information
In 2000. the average earnings of flight attendants were $38,820. The middle 50 percent made anywhere from $28,200 to $56,610. The bottom 10 percent made below $18,090, and the top 10 percent made upwards of $83,630.
According to information provided by the Association of Flight Attendants, beginning flight attendants made approximately $14,847 in 2000, although pay scales vary depending on the airline. Typically new employees will start at the same pay level, despite what experience they may have, and all flight attendants get the same future raises. Flight attendants get additional compensation for night and international flights as well for increased hours. Some companies even offer incentives to work holidays or to work in assignments which include extra responsibility or paperwork. For the most part airlines promise at least 65 to 75 flight hours per month, with the option of working more hours each month. Additionally flight attendants are provided a “per diem” allowance for meals when they are on duty and away from home. Most flight attendants and their families also have the added benefit of receiving free or discounted fares from their employee and discounted fares from other airlines.
Flight attendants must buy and wear uniforms while working. The airlines typically fund uniform replacement needs, and might even offer a minimal allowance to pay for cleaning and maintaining the uniform.
Most flight attendants are members of a union. Others might be unionized by Transport Workers Union of America, the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, or other unions.

Because when airplanes are flying below 10,000ft (the start of cruising altitude), they’re generally flying to takeoff or land. Meaning there’s probably plenty of other planes in the area either converging in one area or departing from an area and with so many planes in a certain about if 3-dimensional space, and that they can’t necessarily see each other in that space, air traffic controllers are responsible for controlling and helping them navigate that space to ensure that they don’t collide in air or on the ground.
Above 10,000ft, planes are headed to cruising altitude and are far enough away from the hub where there’s a high density of planes in the space that they can generally navigate and watch out for each other using their own instruments and plane-to-plane communications. There are protocols for how pilots communicate with each other and engage with each other to avoid collision
Actually, the crossover is FL180 (Flight Level One Eight Zero, or 18,000 feet).
Altimeter settings are based on ground observations. The higher you are, the greater the potential for error exists between the altimeter and the ground station.
With their altimeters all set to standard pressure, airplanes in the same part of the sky can more assuredly maintain vertical separation.
Above FL180, precisely maintaining a particular true altitude is less important than not hitting other airplanes.
A secondary factor is performance. Calculating performance metrics such as speed or fuel consumption depends on pressure altitude. Performance data assumes a pressure altitude, to which a conversion is applied. If you already know your pressure altitude (because an altimeter set to standard pressure shows pressure altitude) then you can skip the conversion.
Using U.S. rules, you use the local altimeter setting up to 18k feet MSL. Above that, you are in Class A airspace where you use the standard altimeter setting of 29.92. Additionally, altitude at this point is no longer feet MSL but Flight Level (FL), roughly corresponding to thousands of feet, so 20k’ feet would be referred to as FL200. The reason for this is that Air Route Traffic Control Centers (ARTCC) control very large regions where there can be large variations in the local altimeter setting. Also, at these high altitudes, obstacle clearance is of secondary concern to traffic avoidance. So, having everyone on the same setting means that you can just assign a flight level and not worry about constant adjustment.
Once you descend out of the Class A airspace obstacles start to become a concern, and their elevations are given in feet MSL. Instead of having everyone do the mental math to convert their FL to actual altitude, we just use the local setting.
Having everyone in the air on the same setting helps ensure that everyone flying through a particular area is on the same setting (and not constantly having to change altimeter settings), so vertical separation between planes isn’t affected by varying altimeter settings (in other words, what matters is your position compared only to other planes, which is why you want everyone measuring altitude the same way)
At lower altitudes, knowing your exact altitude in comparison to ground level and terrain/obstacles can be important | aerospace |

If you have several million dollars to spare you could buy your own jet. Al Shindagah found out more
The reality of commercial air travel means that taking a three hour flight can result in spending a further three hours queuing at the check-in desk, moving through departures and waiting to board an aircraft. In addition your travel schedule is dictated by the airline you choose to fly with. Reaching a destination unpopular with major airlines can add further complications, not least having to fly with carriers not known for their safety record or having to make a connecting flight at an inconvenient time. As an alternative you may have considered buying your own jet. Assuming you have $20 million to spare that is!
If you are like me, you will think the corporate jet exists to provide a fantastic venue for Hugh Heffner hosted Playboy parties or to use as Elvis did, transporting dinner from his favourite restaurant in Detroit to his home in Memphis.
But the corporate jet only being a preferred means of transport for legions of international playboys and hungry rock stars is not true, according to Dubai-based John Guizetti, director of GBF Aerospace and regional distributor of Cessna aircraft. "The cost of buying your own business jet means that the decision must be motivated by economics, not simply the desire to own an alternative form of luxury transport," said Guizetti. Cessna's top-of-the-range Citation X has a top speed of Mach 0.92 and comes in behind only the fully supersonic Concorde in the speed stakes. As it currently costs around US$17 million it is no wonder that most decisions to buy a corporate jet are based on financial calculations.
But Guizetti admits that the motivation is not simply financial. The convenience of owning your own method of fast, inter-continental travel is a big selling point. "Owning your own jet allows you to go where you want, when you want, as fast as you want and even plan your arrival down to the hour and minute that you like," said Guizetti. Many jets are capable of being in the air within one hour of its owner deciding to fly.
Modern technology also means that many modern jets carry equipment that allows them to be independent of the areas they are flying in. Doing business in developing markets can mean arriving at airports that do not have high standards of safety. Most modern business jets' equipment allows them to avoid relying on local airports. Mike Cappuccitti, Bombardier's regional vice president for the Middle East, Africa and Asia points to the fact that Bombardier's new jet, the Global Express, will have a higher safety certification than the Boeing 777.
But there is no denying that a private jet is the ultimate luxury item for the man who has everything. A private, build-to-order jet aircraft is constructed to detailed customer specifications in the same way a luxury car or yacht would be. It is possible to specify everything from the kind and colour of leather used for your seats to the shape of knobs that will adorn the cabinet containing your crystal glasses. And if you are really that wealthy, the millions don't matter.
However, with the high running costs of a corporate jet, (the average yearly fees could easily reach US$1 million, to cover pilots, fuel, hangars and servicing) and the often low use by its owner, how does a corporation, rather than an incredibly wealthy individual, justify purchasing a jet if they are going to base their decision on advice from accountants? "Many owners of corporate jets lease their aircraft out when they are not using them," said Guizetti. This leasing can help to balance out the high cost of ownership.
Through leasing the owner of a low-usage aircraft owner can justify ownership. Although an owner cannot expect to profit from leasing a single aircraft, allowing it to be used for charter when it is idle can greatly reduce the operating costs. In the US these leasing schemes have been a huge success. According to figures published in Aviation International News, of all the managed aircraft operated in the US, about 80 per cent are available for charter.
Although the running costs are high, the possibility of chartering your jet out, combined with the low depreciation value of a private aircraft and its low flight hours, compared to a commercial airliner, can make owning a jet a viable financial prospect. A corporate jet is unlikely to fly more than 400-500 hours per year, compared with the 2,000 hours a commercial jet will see. Most business jets lose less than ten per cent of their value over the first seven years of their life. If the jet's owner has fully utilised the aircraft during this time, he would have had seven years use of an extremely convenient business tool.
Bombardier Aerospace, the world's third largest aerospace manufacturer and producers of the Lear jet, operate business jet solutions in the form of the Flex Jet programme and the Alliance scheme. Flex Jet, which is a form of fractional ownership, requires a minimum of 8-16 aircraft to be successful. If a fractional scheme is to work, it requires a relatively large number of people combined with a fleet of aircraft big enough to cope with the flight demands of your customers. The geography of the US and its corporate environment means that there is a high demand for domestic travel in business jets. It is possible for one corporation to have many executives in offices thousands of kilometres apart, yet still within the same country. It is this geography that makes the US market for corporate jets unique and makes fractional ownership and leasing schemes a possibility.
Although the Middle East is a good location to base a business jet for private use, fractional ownership and leasing has not taken off as the demand for use of business jets is not high enough. The geography of this region, coupled with previously unsuccessful attempts by aerospace companies to launch partnership schemes in Europe and South Africa have prevented anyone from establishing a financially successful leasing operation. Many companies based in this region are private operations that are unlikely to have the need to transport high numbers of executives around different countries. This means that in the Middle East a business jet will likely have a sole owner, who, having invested up to US$40 million of his own personal money, is unlikely to want to share his jet with someone else. If an individual has invested such a high sum he will want his jet to be available on demand.
This does not mean partnership schemes may not be possible in the future. As trading barriers fall among Arab and GCC countries businessmen are expanding their companies throughout the whole the Middle East. Bombardier's Mike Cappuccitti recognises the great potential for growth in this region but it will be some time before fractional ownership of jets could work. "Our studies have shown that these schemes will not viable in this region for at least the next 5-10 years," said Cappuccitti.
In the UAE in particular, which is seeing a constant level of rapid economic growth, the current demand is for infrequent one-off charter trips in business jets. Behind Europe the main destinations for private jet charters are the CIS states and Africa. Many businessmen want the convenience of dictating their own flight schedule, but cannot afford the million dollar outlay and do not have the advance notice of travelling. So they charter, which can currently cost from US$2,500-US$6,000 per hour depending on the kind of aircraft you require. The cost of chartering a business jet can be relatively cheap, if a trip is well planned. Cessna's Citation X has a range of about 6,000 kilometres, which would get you from Dubai to Paris, while Bombardier's Global Express will fly you about 12,000 kilometres, from New York to Tokyo. In today's increasingly global environment businessman and often government leaders are demanding faster and more reliable modes of transport and many are using business jets to fulfil these needs.
So what are the main considerations when choosing which jet to buy? The main comparison is range against cost. The longer a jet is in the air the more the flight will cost. Although a slower jet may be cheaper to buy, a more expensive jet will be able to fly higher and faster. However, the faster you fly, the more fuel your jet will consume.
Jets consume most fuel during the climb-to-cruise period of the flight, just after take-off. If an aircraft can get to cruising altitude and speed quickly, the flight will be more efficient. Although all this may seem obvious, all these figures must be carefully assessed. The difference in price between a Citation X and a Global Express is over US$20 million. Not only do the difference in size and range of the two aircraft account for this price difference, but a company would also have to assess the frequency of flying and the number of people it has to transport. | aerospace |

(AP) — Fundraising events for the museum honoring southern Indiana native Gus Grissom are getting a boost from some of his fellow astronauts.
Organizers expect seven Indiana-born astronauts to attend Saturday’s activities in the Lawrence County city of Mitchell to benefit the Gus Grissom Boyhood home. Grissom was one of the seven original Project Mercury astronauts and the second American to fly in space.
Museum president Steve Grissom, the astronaut’s cousin, tells The Indianapolis Star that all but two living astronauts from Indiana are expected Saturday. Activities include a roundtable discussion and the chance for visitors to have a photo taken with all the astronauts for $50.
Grissom and two other astronauts died in 1967 when a flash fire swept through their Apollo spacecraft during a pre-launch test.

West Air Sweden is a cargo airline based in Gothenburg, Sweden. It operates scheduled and ad hoc freight charter services for FedEx, DHL, TNT and UPS. It is also contracted to operate mail flights 6 nights a week on behalf of the Swedish post office. Its main bases are Lidköping-Hovby Airport (LDK) and Malmö Airport (MMX).
In October 2008 it was announced that the airline would merge with British cargo airline Atlantic Airlines to form a new airline called West Atlantic with its headquarters in Sweden.
The airline was established in 1955 as LBF-Eda Varken operating air taxi flights. The name was changed to Abal Air in 1982 and to West Air Sweden in 1992. It then converted to a cargo airline in May 1997 after discontinuing scheduled passenger services between Säve and Sundsvall. During 2006 West Air won a contract with the Norwegian Postal services rendering an expansion of 50% of West Air's capacity.

Built-in SAFETM technology (proprietary technology) delivers boosted stability and agility to the pilots of these UAVs enhancing their skills and ensuring that their response time never let them down when they are taking in aerial maneuvers with their UAVs. Just one of the first things (if not the VERY first things) that you will observe about the Blade Nano QF BNF is that it runs almost silently-- even when its blades are spinning just as quickly as possible. This is going to enable you to use this amazing little gizmo to "sneak up on people" around the house - a great attribute for you pranksters out there! Secondly this piece of technology uses lithium-ion batteries. These batteries are way more lightweight than NiCad save a lot of energy because they charge faster. They also keep their charge longer and can offer substantially more oomph in the capacity department.
Second you will need a flight control board. This is the brains of the quadcopter. It controls how the motors work. When choosing your flight control board it is important to remember that not all flight control boards are created equal. Some are extremely sophisticated and capable of numerous functions such as GPS mission planning return to home and loiter modes. Choose your flight control board based only on what you really need when you are just getting started you will not need all the bells and whistles. Third you will need the motors and electronics speed controllers (ESC). The ESCs interface with the flight control board which receives commands from the receiver. The flight control board calculates what the motors need to do to make the quadcopter do what the user is telling it to do then tells the ESCs which in turn tell motors how to spin.
The remote controller comes with a few buttons that can be pressed to adjust flight modes. Basically there are two flight modes available with any quadcopter: manual and auto. In manual mode when you tilt the copter using the roll control and then let go of the stick the copter will not return to its initial position. Instead it will stay tilted to the angle where you left the stick. On the other hand in auto flight mode it auto-levels itself back to its original stance once the sticks are centered. Make sure you practice and experiment with your copter to learn all the controls separately before moving on to the next section. If youre not familiar with the controls you will never be able to fly a quadcopter in peace. It will either move too fast or go upwards and hit the ceiling. Also see how slowly you need to throttle in order to take the machine off the ground safely and expertly.
A GoPro quadcopter should have a reasonably long battery life to be able to last through aerial shots and to provide longer flights thus more footage. Getting an overly expensive model doesnt always mean better value for money. There are cheaper models that outdo some really expensive ones. The important thing is to look for features that fall within a reasonable price range. Choice should be largely influenced by price and the features that will suit ones need. A GoPro quadcopter that is way below the average price range isnt such a wise buy either. It should be compatible with the most recent GoPro models to enable easier mounting and to ensure protection of the camera. Compatibility reduces worry and the need to do any minor adjustments. It should have extra features like integrated GPS functions USB ports that are built in propellers to help in the prevention of crashes and effective distance control of up to 300 meters. | aerospace |

All of these planes run on specialized jet fuel, but with electric cars becoming more prevalent, why haven’t planes followed along? Electric vehicles have been around for a long time. In fact, some of the first cars used a primary cell back in the late 19th century. It seems foreseeable that all transportation in the future will be electric, but when will this future come?
Boeing, the biggest company for making commercial airliners, has recently started to experiment with electric aircraft. The Verge’s Andrew Hawkins reported on one of these aircraft that are capable of carrying few passengers and taking off vertically, similar to a RC drone or helicopter. The test flight conducted was pilotless and was only airborne for less than a minute. The purpose of a vehicle like this, would be a “flying taxi,” carrying passengers around a city or downtown area. There is talk that this electric aircraft will be used by Uber for the new “Uber Air” concept, that is planned for 2023.
That could very well lead to electric air travel going longer distances in the future — but this doesn’t quite cut it for long distance flight. A commercial flight to Hawaii from LA is over 4000 kilometres. But is there a sustainable and efficient battery that can carry an airliner full of people that far? Hawkins, notes that flying takes vast amounts of energy, and “present battery technology doesn’t offer the power-to-weight ratio in order for liftoff.” The nearest possibility for electric powered commercial flight will be in “years, if not decades.”
That may be true for the major airlines, but shorter flights with smaller planes face lower barriers to make the transition. Indeed, Harbour Air, an airline based in Vancouver that offers flights around the Pacific Northwest, has plans to go all electric by 2022. The planes carry maximum 10 passengers, are lightweight and travel small distances compared to airliners, making electrification easily doable. While this is a small company, they fly over 500,000 passengers a year and electrification will not only save money in the long term but also reduce emissions in the lower mainland of British Columbia.
The battery technology we currently have just does not produce enough power per pound for large aircraft. A YouTuber whose hobby is building aircraft and vehicles, Peter Sripol, shows how he uses 9 large energy cells about a foot long for a small, one seater propeller plane. But a large airplane full of passengers flying from Vancouver to Toronto will burn around 75,000 litres of fuel. That’s over 2.6 trillion joules of energy, almost 30,000 times more than a cell of an electric car. A battery of that capacity would be massive, heavy, and possibly too big to be stored in the average airliner.
To make larger electric planes feasible, there will need to be new kinds of batteries, and NASA is helping to fund their development. According to Clean Technica, NASA is funding research at the University of Illinois to develop liquid hydrogen energy cells for use in aircraft. Researchers at CHEETA, or Center for Cryogenic High Efficiency Electrical Technologies for Aircraft, had the idea of using liquid hydrogen cells to produce electricity, but converting the liquid hydrogen to energy is very difficult. Ian Randall writes, “At the moment, however, the electrical systems needed to connect such power sources to electrically-driven propulsion technologies and then apply such within a large aircraft have not yet been effectively realised,” meaning the equipment is not good enough yet to transfer that hydrogen energy to propel a large jet. NASA has also released plans for an electric plane using thousands of small lithium-ion cells: the X-57.
The future always holds the possibility for innovation in technology. Airplanes are getting faster and more efficient than ever. However, until we get a lighter, more powerful batteries, electric airplanes will remain just over the horizon.

AirBridgeCargo Airlines will hand over two Boeing 747-400 extended-range freighters to Air Cargo Germany, of which it holds a 49-percent stake. ACG is slated to acquire the jumbo freighters in October, barring certification from the German Aviation Authority Luftfahrt-Bundesamt. The 747-400ERFs will complement the four 747-400SFs currently in the German cargo carrier’s fleet.
The 747-400ERFs, which can transport a maximum payload of 120 tonnes and fly 9,120 km nonstop, will be a game-changer for ACG, company CEO Michael Bock said. “The aircraft enhance our reach and market options substantially, due to their improved range capabilities, compared to the B-400SFs, and their nose-loading door,” he said in a statement.
ACG will return two of its 747-400SFs to lessor Martinair next year, but will replace the aircraft with newer-model 747-400Fs or 747-400ERFs, Bock said.
Now that ACG has adequate capacity, the carrier is launching new routes. Next month, ACG will commence three-times-weekly service to Beijing Capital International Airport, a route complementing the carrier’s current service to Shanghai. ACG also has plans to up frequencies to Mexico City and Chicago, with services growing from one to two weekly flights and two to three weekly flights, respectively.
“South America is standing on our agenda, too, but will be materialized only in the near future,” Bock added.
ACG is also completely taking over AirBridgeCargo’s traffic between Europe and North America. “We’ve signed an interline agreement with ABC for enabling easy transfers of shipments in Moscow and Frankfurt,” Bock said in a statement. | aerospace |

Turkish Airlines is the national flag carrier airline of Turkiye. As of 2022, it operates scheduled services to 340 destinations in Europe, Asia, Africa and the Americas making it the largest mainline carrier in the world by number of passenger destinations. The airline serves more destinations non-stop from a single airport than any other airline in the world and it flies to 126 countries.
History of Turkish Airlines
Turkish Airlines began its adventure on the May 20, 1933 with only five planes and less than 30 employees. The initial fleet consisted of two five-seat Curtiss Kingbirds, two four-seat Junker F 13s and one ten-seat Tupolev ANT-9. It was the Türkiye’s first aviator and chief executive Fesan Evrensev leading the Turkish Airlines as to the skies as the State Airlines Administration. In 1947 representing Türkiye, Turkish Airlines conducted its first overseas flight from Istanbul to Athens. In 1951, expanding its fleet to thirty-three aircrafts and adding Nicosia, Beirut and Cairo as new destinations it made a headway. In 1955, the State Airlines Administration took the name Turkish Airlines and signed a document listing its extraordinary achievements gaining rank and prestige among the members of IATA, International Air Transport Association.
Some Memorable Moments
The Atatürk Airport formerly known as Istanbul Yeşilköy Airport finished constructions and opened to the international air traffic in 1953. It became a global meeting point, a hub to thousands of memorable moments.
With the switch from piston engines to jet-powered aircrafts a new era started in aviation history and Turkish Airlines added 5 Viscount 794 aircrafts to its fleet in 1958.
Its signature emblem “the wild goose” which can fly up to an altitude of 9.000 was designed by Mesut Manioğlu in 1959.
Pilot captains Zihni Barın and Nurettin made a first in Turkish Airlines History by crossing the Atlantic Ocean with a F-27 aircraft on a 30-hour flight from the USA to Istanbul.
Its capital increased from 200 million to 400 million which is an astounding %100 increase in 1972 due to its the devotion and dedication.
In 1973, THY added the first McDonnel Douglas DC-10 European aircraft and its employees grew to 4.437 from 24 personnel in 40 years.
Some Awards of THY
Turkish Airlines was awarded 5 stars by the American aviation rating instate AviRate in the 2018 and it is still valid.
According to the awards by Skytrax, Turkish Airlines won the Best airline of Europe 6th times consecutively.
In 1998, Turkish Airlines joined the Qualiflyer group which Swiss Air was one of the members. Later the Frequent Flyer which was active since 1989 merged with Qualiflyer. After a while THY left this group in 2000. Later, Turkish Airlines structured its Frequent Flyer program and continued it under the name of Miles&Smiles. Lately, after 10 years with an agreement signed in Istanbul, THY joined its second alliance “Star Alliance” which was led by Lufthansa.
With its vision to be the most preferred air cargo company, Turkish Cargo connects Asia, America, Middle East, Africa, Europe and more with its wide network. Turkish Cargo provides communications with senders, recipients, airlines and more thanks to its automation systems. It also has a ISO 9001:2000 quality certificate.
History of Turkish Cargo
Formed in 1933, Turkish Cargo is a sub-brand of Turkish Airlines. It was known as Turkish Airlines Cargo formerly until 2000. It carried its first cargo in 1947 with its first international flight on Atina line. With the increasing demand in market Turkish Cargo converted two B727-200F planes to cargo planes but after they were decommissioned it had to return to Combi-Transportation period. For a while continuing its business by renting other cargo planes, Turkish Cargo needed its own fleet and 4 A310 planes were converted to cargo planes. Lately due to the increasing activity two A330-200F planes joined the Turkish Cargo from the Airbus with ceremony. After these developments 3 more A330-200F replaced the older A310 models. Turkish Cargo is a member of IATA CARGO 2000 group.
Turkish Airlines has a technical maintenance center in Istanbul Airport. THY Technical deals with the repairs, maintenance and engineering of all its planes components. There is also a training facility for the future aviators and engineers in Aydın Çıldır Airport where the planes Cessna 172S and Diamond 40 and 42 NG repairs and maintenances are done. Turkish Engine Center started its operation in 2010 which can be considered the first step of the HABOM project with the %51 Pratt & Whitney and %49 THY Technical joint initiative. It is an engine maintenance facility which aims to do 200 engine maintenances per year.
Turkish Airlines Aviation Academy
It is an aviation school which its primary focus is to provide counseling and education to the other institutes and establishments in civil aviation sector. The academy provides approximately 12.000 face to face and 50.000 e-learning education with its expert tutors.
Turkish Airlines has variety of endorsements between sports clubs including FC Barcelona, Manchester United and Shakhtar Donetsk. With these agreements, Turkish Airlines became the official air carrier of FC Barcelona, Manchester United and Shakhtar Donetsk. Furthermore, there are endorsements with İstanbul Başakşehir, Beşiktaş, Bursaspor, Galatasaray, Fenerbahçe and Trabzonspor in Türkiye and also Greece’s basketball team Maroussi B.C. Besides these, the European Basketball League is named Turkish Airlines EuroLeague as well. There were many celebrities in THY commercials including Kobe Bryant, Lionel Messi, Caroline Wozniacki, Youssou N’Dour, Kıvanç Tatlıtuğ. THY managed a third place between companies with these activities in Europe.
Manchester United Endorsement: After United Air Asia, Manchester United signed a 3.5-year deal with Turkish Airlines in 2010 to 2013. In the second year of the endorsement, the safety instruction video was filmed with the players of the club. The video included Darren Flacher, Wayne Rooney, Nani, Chris Smalling, Rafael and Fabio da Silva of the Manchester United.
Borussia Dortmund Endorsement: After Manchester United, Turkish Airlines came to an agreement with Borussia Dortmund in 2013 for 3 years. The club arrived to Champions League Final in London with a team-colored Boeing 737-800. | aerospace |

According to an eyewitness account, the unnamed male passenger had been acting strangely upon boarding the flight and became violent.
A passenger on a domestic Chinese flight had to be restrained after he attempted to open a cabin door while the plane was mid-air, The Daily Mail reports. The incident occurred on Monday onboard Fuzhou Airlines Flight 6509, which departed from Fuzhou and just as the plane was preparing to land in the southern Chinese city of Kunming.
The outlet reports that the man, who is said to have been about 50-years-old, was observed by crew members and security staff on the flight to have been acting strangely upon boarding.
Zhao Wenhui, who was a security officer on the flight, noted that the passenger was wearing bloodstained clothing and seemed to have trouble focusing.
Zhao observed the passenger throughout the flight, during the course of which he became upset and eventually lashed out physically.
The outlet reports that around 40 minutes before landing in Kunming, the man requested that members of the flight’s crew allow him to call his loved ones. He was informed that this was not possible. The man then began to pace the cabin and questioned the safety of the plane.
The crew then sat the man next to the security officer, but approximately ten minutes prior to landing in Kunming, the passenger then attempted to open the cabin door.
The man was hauled back to his seat but began to stomp on the floor. It is also reported that he repeatedly hit a window and a seat with his cell.
As a consequence, the passenger, who was described in a statement as being mentally ill, had to be restrained. The flight landed safely and the man was taken into police custody.

The theme of this dissertation is the development of image processing algorithms that enhances the capabilities of the space navigation camera build at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU). The main focus of this dissertation is improvements of the scientific yield of the Planetary Instrument for X-ray Lithochemistry (PIXL) onboard the NASA Mars 2020 rover, Perseverance. The integrated camera system of PIXL is the first to use active light sources directly on an extraterrestrial planetary surface to generate multispectral data. To create multispectral data from the images collected by the monochrome camera of PIXL, a novel radiometric correction method was developed. The method is verified using calibrated spectral data from the the Three Axis N-sample Automated Goniometer for Evaluation Reflectance(TANAGER). The tests show a mean error of 0.4% using an Engineering Model (EM) of the camera system. An evaluation of the radiometric correction method applied on data acquired in-flight show performances within 0.25%.
To analyze the multispectral data, different data products and methods of analyzing, clustering, and classifying were developed. These data products and methods have either been implemented or are in the process of being implemented into NASA's geoscience visualization and analysis tool, PIXLISE. The multispectral capabilities and analyses of the PIXL multispectral data have proven very valuable for extrapolating the detailed mineral and crystallographic information derived from PIXL's X-ray spectroscopy system.
PIXL is a first-of-its-kind instrument. This has meant that operational procedures have rapidly been developed to optimize the data quality. An in-flight implemented method for acquiring High Dynamic
Range (HDR) images with PIXL, which extended the region within the image available for multispectral analysis by 39.4\%, is described. Furthermore, a procedure for removing the artifacts of an external light source (the Sun) in the multispectral data was developed to allow higher-quality data to be captured during daytime operation.
Topographical features of a target can have a significant impact both on the data quality and on the co-registration of data. Therefore, knowledge and correction of the topography of a target is essential. A method for obtaining high-resolution topography maps using the PIXL camera system as a simulated stereo-camera by capturing images from different positions is described. This work has led to an update of how topographic maps are generated by PIXL ground tools.
Another objective of this dissertation is the development and implementation of a method for noncooperative mapping between a 3D vertex model and an image of a target spacecraft. Non-cooperative navigation is essential in the future of space operation, as it provides a method for handling objects that were not designed for cooperative navigation. Non-cooperative navigation can, for instance, help in the process of cleaning up the rising amount of space debris, as this can potentially be approached and removed safely using a designated spacecraft.
The described method has been implemented in the programming language C and correctly maps a 3Dmodel to 373 test images, with an average runtime of 51.5 ms when scaled to a 96 MHz processor. | aerospace |

Between December 2016 and November 2020, 82 Boeing F-15SA were delivered to the Royal Saudi Air Force.
Boeing St Louis is responsible for building multiple F-15 variants for customers including the USA, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar. The USAF is currently having its new F-15EX aircraft built there. Saudi Arabias' fleet of 84 F-15SAs was built in St Louis, and Qatars F-15QA are also being constructed in Missouri. As well as the F-15, Boeing St Louis is responsible for making F/A-18s and working on the US Navys MQ-25s and US Air Forces T-7A Red Hawk.
I was fortunate to catch a delivery on August 11th, when RETRO71/74 arrived from Bangor International Airport, Maine. The four jets were originally due on August 10th, but a problem delayed the delivery by 24 hours. This was lucky for me as I'd booked a hotel in the area 3 months before this event took place!
The aircraft departed Bangor with their tanker at roughly 13:30, and arrived at RAF Lakenheath at 19:24. Their tanker was a KC-10A Extender from Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, New Jersey.

2 separate tankers were involved in this delivery. KC-10 85-0032 dragged all 4 aircraft from the USA to Lakenheath on August 11th. The Extender departed on August 12th, destined for Spain. August 12th also saw KC-135 63-8003 arrive from Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, New Jersey. The aircraft left Mildenhall the next day, delivering the 4 F-15SAs to Saudi Arabia.

Following around 36 hours on the deck in Suffolk, RETRO71 flight of 4 blasted out of RAF Lakenheath on August 13th, in less than ideal conditions. They were the day's first departures. The 4 aircraft were destined for Dhahran Air Base, home of the Royal Saudi Air Forces Fighter Weapon School. I recall a rumble overhead Lakenheath on the morning of August 13th as the fighters met their tanker and passed overhead above the cloud on their way to Saudi Arabia. | aerospace |

https://www.skoltech.ru/en/2020/06/a-method-has-been-developed-to-study-the-traces-of-coronal-mass-ejections-at-the-sun/ | 2023-12-10T17:30:48 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679102612.80/warc/CC-MAIN-20231210155147-20231210185147-00866.warc.gz | 0.93017 | 898 | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2023-50__0__136980677 | en | Scientists at Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology (skoltech), together with colleagues from the Karl-Franzens University of Graz and the Kanzelhoehe Observatory (Austria) developed an automatic method for detecting “coronal dimmings”, or “traces” of coronal mass ejections at the Sun, and also proved that they are reliable indicators of the early diagnosis of powerful emissions of energy from the atmosphere of the Sun, traveling to Earth at great speed. The results of the study are published in the Astrophysical Journal.
Coronal mass ejections are among the most striking manifestations of solar activity. Huge plasma clouds pierced by magnetic lines are ejected from the atmosphere of the Sun into the surrounding space at speeds of 100-3500 km/s. If a stream of charged particles reaches the Earth, auroras and magnetic storms arise in its atmosphere. This can lead to serious problems in the operation of electrical equipment and signal loss, and spacecraft and astronauts in outer space are most exposed to danger.
Coronal mass ejections occur in the atmosphere of the Sun, the solar corona, which is very sparse and does not shine as bright as the solar disk. Therefore, the evolution of these ejections can be observed only with the help of special tools – coronagraphs, creating an artificial solar eclipse and blocking the bright Sun with a dark disk. Coronagraphs installed on Earth do not provide accurate results due to the bright glow of the sky, therefore they are usually installed on spacecraft. To date, there are only two coronagraphs in space: aboard the STEREO-A and SOHO satellites; new missions are expected no earlier than in a few years. However, coronagraph observations have a significant drawback: blocking the solar disk by several radii makes it impossible to discern the early evolution of the ejection, but only its shape at a developed stage.
But one can approach the solution of this problem from another angle and study the “trace” directly on the Sun – coronal dimmings, rather than the coronal ejection itself. If you observe the solar corona in the ultraviolet, then you can see the gaps in the intensity – dark spots that are associated with the loss of substance in the corona during the ejection of plasma, – these are dimmings. Due to the unique position of the STEREO-A, STEREO-B and SDO satellites, it was for the first time possible to compare the size and brightness of coronal dimming from different observation points. The obtained results confirm the earlier work of the co-authors of the study from the University of Graz, where the same dimmings were studied on the solar disk using images of the SDO satellite.
“We showed that by observing dimmings on the Sun, it is possible to estimate the mass and speed of the coronal mass ejection at early stages – key parameters that allow us to predict the scale of the event and the time of its expected consequences on Earth. This is of great applied importance for the development of operational space weather services, as well as for future space missions to the Lagrange point L5. Spacecraft will be located in the orbit, always retaining the same position with respect to the Earth. This will make it possible to detect traces of coronal mass ejections directly on the Sun, as well as to predict the parameters of powerful ejections before they are seen from Earth, ”says a graduate student at the Skoltech Space Center and the first author of the study, Galina Chikunova.
“Humanity is entering a new era in the exploration of outer space, the creation of new space technologies that are gradually moving into our daily lives. At present, it is very important to study the nature of explosions on the Sun, to develop methods for their early forecasting, in order to protect our society and technologies from the dangers of space weather, to turn off equipment in satellites in time, to move astronauts to a protected area, to cancel satellite maneuvers, air travel through the polar regions, report possible navigation problems. And whatever storms may rage, we wish everyone a good weather in space,” says Tatyana Podladchikova, professor at the Skoltech Space Center, research co-author.

Shock and vibration testing is a crucial aspect of the development and maintenance of military equipment. The US military relies heavily on a vast array of complex systems and equipment, including aircraft, vehicles, weapons, and communication devices. These systems are subjected to harsh environmental conditions and intense operational stresses, which can cause damage and failure if not adequately tested and validated.
In order to ensure that military equipment is up to the task, it is essential to subject it to rigorous shock and vibration testing. This type of testing simulates the types of stresses that equipment may encounter during transportation, deployment, and operation. This helps to identify potential weaknesses or design flaws that could lead to equipment failure in the field.
One example of the importance of shock and vibration testing can be seen in the development of military vehicles. Military vehicles, such as tanks and armored personnel carriers, must be able to withstand extreme levels of vibration and shock while driving over rough terrain. Inadequate testing can result in catastrophic failure, potentially leading to injury or loss of life for military personnel. This includes the laptops and tablets that are installed in these vehicles.
Similarly, aircraft must be tested for their ability to withstand the stresses of takeoff, flight, and landing. The vibration and shock loads experienced by aircraft during these phases can be significant and must be properly accounted for during testing. Failure to properly test aircraft systems, including personal laptops/tablets, can lead to in-flight failures and accidents.
Another area where shock and vibration testing is critical is in the development of weapons systems. Weapons systems, such as guns and missiles, must be designed to withstand the shock and vibration loads experienced during firing and transport. Inadequate testing can result in misfires, which can be deadly in a military setting.
In addition to ensuring the safety and effectiveness of military equipment, shock and vibration testing can also lead to cost savings in the long run. By identifying potential design flaws or weaknesses during testing, equipment can be modified or improved before it is deployed, reducing the need for expensive repairs or replacements in the field.
In conclusion, shock and vibration testing is an essential component of military equipment development and maintenance. By subjecting military equipment to rigorous testing, potential weaknesses and design flaws can be identified and corrected before deployment. This ensures that military personnel can rely on their equipment to perform effectively and safely in a variety of environments and operational scenarios. | aerospace |

The trio were treated to a flight experience with AeroSPARX display pilot Rob Barsby as a reward for their good attendance, work ethic and attitude toward their course. They even got to fly a loop-the-loop.
IASTI Newark is the world’s first International Air and Space Training Institute, located in Newark-on-Trent in Nottinghamshire. The institute allows students to learn from aviation industry experts and get hands-on experience as they learn the skills needed to become pilots, engineers or flight dispatchers, leading to Level 3 Diplomas in Aviation Operations or Aircraft Maintenance.
“It was amazing” said Shelby Valentine, who is studying on the engineering pathway at IASTI Newark “We didn’t do the take-off or landing but for the rest of the time we were flying ourselves!
“We all did two or three loop-the-loops. Then Rob did a few tricks, showing what he usually does for his shows using smoke. Then he shut the engine off and we glided the rest of the way.”
Alex Vickery was the first of the three students to fly the Grob aircraft. He said: “I enjoyed doing the loop-the-loops the most and when Rob took over doing his tricks and I was going upside down. It was brilliant and a real adrenaline rush.”
Lexie Jackson, who is on the pilot pathway said: “I loved the whole thing. I’ve never done anything like this before. I’ve been in an aeroplane once before as a passenger, so this was the second time I’ve ever boarded a plane and I got to do this.”
The students are full of praise about their time on the course so far.
“I’m really enjoying it and the journey I’m on. I’m learning a lot and I'm trying to make the most of every experience”, adds Alex.
AeroSPARX is a unique air display team, established in 2015 by Rob and fellow pilot Guy Westgate. They combine airborne pyrotechnics, aerobatics, formation flying and night flying for worldwide events.
IASTI Newark is a partnership between Lincoln College Group, Aviation 360 andthe Royal Air Force and supported by Inzpire, East Midlands Airport and the National Space Academy. It has been made possible by a multi-million pound investment from the government’s Towns Fund initiative. The IASTI is one of nine priority projects developed by Newark Towns Fund Board and funded through the Government’s Towns Fund initiative.
Applications are open to train for an amazing career as a pilot, aircraft engineer or flight dispatcher with IASTI Newark. Find out more and apply at: www.iasti-newark.co.uk/curriculum | aerospace |

Red Dragon was the Thomas Harris novel made into a movie featuring that happy fellow, Dr. Hannibal Lecter. We’re not talking about that here. We’re talking about a possible Mars lander based on the SpaceX Dragon spaceship technology. SpaceX is apparently talking to NASA about the possibility of using it for a mission in 2018 – unmanned of course.
But Elon Musk, CEO of SpaceX, has plans that are bigger. He sees the Dragon as a component of a manned Mars mission in 10 to 15 years – without the participation of NASA!
All of these would require more delta-v than the Falcon 9 launcher can provide. That’s why they have designed the Falcon 9 Heavy. I love this concept – it’s so von Braun-like. They designed one engine, the Merlin, and just put nine of them in the first stage of the Falcon 9. The Falcon 9 Heavy is three Falcon 9 first stages ganged together. No new technology, no solid booster issues, just more of the same. Just like taking the Jupiter missile and tying a bunch together to make a Saturn I.
The really smart thing about this idea is that losing an engine or two doesn’t doom the mission.In fact, the normal flight profile for the Falcon 9 involves early shutdown of two of the engines. Often the reason for fewer larger engines in a design is because using all those smaller ones adds more weight. Apparently the redundancy factor and improvements to engine efficiency offset the added weight. There’s the cost factor as well – they are building only one type of engine so they can lower costs and increase quality.
I think it was Robert A. Heinlein who said, “I was proud to see the first man walk on the moon, I never thought I would live to see the last man walk on the moon.” I was afraid I would never see man land on Mars during my lifetime. I may still get to… | aerospace |

North American XB-70 Valkyrie
The North American Aviation XB-70 Valkyrie was the prototype version of the proposed B-70 nuclear-armed deep-penetration bomber for the United States Air Force's (USAF) Strategic Air Command. Designed by North American Aviation in the late 1950s, the Valkyrie was a large six-engined aircraft able to fly Mach 3+ at an altitude of 70,000 feet (21,000 m), which would have allowed it to avoid interceptors, the only effective anti-bomber weapon at the time.
The introduction of effective high-altitude surface-to-air missiles (SAMs), the program's high development costs, and changes in the technological environment with the introduction of intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM)s led to the cancellation of the B-70 program in 1961. Although the proposed fleet of operational B-70 bombers was canceled, two prototype aircraft were built as the XB-70A and used in supersonic test flights from 1964 to 1969. One prototype crashed following a midair collision in 1966; the other is on display at the National Museum of the United States Air Force in Ohio.

Although they do not necessarily have to have a college degree, most commercial pilots, airline pilots, copilots and flight engineers have some level of education beyond a higher college diploma. Also, to grow to be an airline pilot, you want to complete flight education under the guidance of a certified flight instructor that includes a minimum essential number of flying hours so that you can acquire a pilot license. Merely having the minimum time needs to acquire a rating or certificate are not always adequate to safe certain jobs. In order to make up for coaching payments until they are hired by a key airline, quite a few industrial pilots start off their careers as on-demand charter pilots or flight instructors. Normally, these positions require significantly less knowledge compared to airline jobs.

We report the observation of new properties of primary cosmic rays, neon (Ne), magnesium (Mg), and silicon (Si), measured in the rigidity range 2.15 GV to 3.0 TV with $1.8\times10^6$ Ne, $2.2\times10^6$ Mg, and $1.6\times10^6$ Si nuclei collected by the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer experiment on the International Space Station. The Ne and Mg spectra have identical rigidity dependence above 3.65 GV. The three spectra have identical rigidity dependence above 86.5 GV, deviate from a single power law above 200 GV, and harden in an identical way. Unexpectedly, above 86.5 GV the rigidity dependence of primary cosmic rays Ne, Mg, and Si spectra is different from the rigidity dependence of primary cosmic rays He, C, and O. This shows that the Ne, Mg, and Si and He, C, and O are two different classes of primary cosmic rays.

Perseverance is visible in the upper left corner of one of the aerial color images of the Jezero crater surface taken by the Ingenuity helicopter, reports the JPL (Jet Propulsion Laboratory) operating the mission.
An enlarged image shows the structure and details of the rover, which serves as communications station between the helicopter and mission control on Earth. When Ingenuity took that image, the helicopter was flying at an altitude of five meters and approximately 85 meters away from the rover. Ingenuity is conducting the first powered flights of an aircraft in another world. | aerospace |

This summer was dedicated to building and testing a prototype capable of consistent, stable flight. Furthermore, the prototype needed to be able to house the Piccolo autopilot (which is about the size of an iPhone). Sometime this fall or next spring, the rest of the team (those employed by NASA) will conduct a high-altitude balloon drop of the Flyer from 100,000 feet. In anticipation of this test, my research revolved around building and testing multiple Flyers with a team of other students under the guidance of a NASA engineer.
A quick note before I discuss some more of the flight testing I did: Not all scientific research requires high tech, expensive equipment. I quickly learned that my iPhone video camera is a powerful tool; I relied on my phone heavily during my time at NASA. During flight tests it would be almost impossible to do any analysis without a video. In the field, the video allowed us to review the flights and make some modifications to either the airframe or launch procedure. I was also able to go through the video frame by frame on my laptop back in the lab to really analyze the flight. Many times I would play through a video twenty or thirty times before fully understanding what happened during the flight. Every time you look back at a video you look for different things. Was the towline still attached? Was the propeller spinning? Were the control surfaces deflected? In what direction? What was their impact on the attitude of the airframe? At what point did the vehicle fail? What was the cause of the failure? Was it avoidable? Was it pilot error? These are the types of question I asked during my research. The majority of my observations were qualitative, not quantitative. Quantitative data is certainly needed for complete analysis, but at this stage in the project qualitative data is more valuable. Enough on this for now.
I am working on the Mars Electric Reusable Flyer (MERF), a three-year project which started about a year and a half ago at NASA’s Langley Research Center (LaRC). The goal of the MERF project is to produce a vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) aircraft for use in the Martian atmosphere. My project focuses on preparing the Flyer for a high altitude balloon drop test this fall. These preparations include design, construction, electronics integration, and low altitude flight tests. The balloon drop Flyer will have a $7,000 autopilot on board so it is crucial that we fine tune the low altitude model so that the odds of crashing the balloon drop model are minimal.
The Mars Electric Reusable Flyer is a flying Mars rover being designed at NASA’s Langley Research Center by a team of engineers and students led by David North. The long term goal of this project is to design an electric vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) flyer for use on the Martian surface. I will be conducting preliminary tests on the current flyer prototype before more advanced tests are conducted. It is important to understand the flight characteristics of the vehicle so that costly mishaps are less likely to occur during high altitude, powered flights. The preliminary tests of the Flyer will involve low altitude flight tests and vacuum chamber testing to collect drag and lift coefficient data. Low altitude flight tests will be performed by tethering the flyer to a hexacopter and towing it up to the test altitude. The Flyer will be released and flown as a glider. Multiple unpowered flights of the Flyer will be performed and analyzed to collect flight dynamics data. Various other parameters will be analyzed for straight and level flight. In addition to low altitude flight tests, the Flyer and its propellers will be tested in a vacuum chamber to simulate the Martian atmosphere, which is less than 1% of Earth’s. All of the collected data will be used in optimizing the Flyer’s autopilot system. | aerospace |

Research to this effect would have gone beyond the stage of ground tests. The 1st stage rocket engine would have been successfully tested several times. The 2nd stage has been the subject of several ground tests, which have also been successful.
However, even if the success of some of the tests is an important first step, the continuation of the programme would require the assistance of a more developed country in this field. Experts point to a significant technological gap between the largest type of Iranian missile, the Fateh-1 10, with a diameter of 610 mm, and the Ashura, which would require a diameter of 1,250 mm.
The development of such a vector being complex, its short-term outcome is unlikely, without the help of a more advanced country in the field, such as China or North Korea.
On several occasions, credible sources have underlined Tehran’s constant desire to own a device with a range of 2,500 km. And also to develop a solid propulsion missile production chain, in order to gradually replace its liquid propulsion missiles, which are more stringent in terms of implementation and storage. | aerospace |

According to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the sample tube contained a rusty iron-colored sample cut out of the rock, and confirmed that it was ready to be processed and returned to Earth.
Nasa thought it was completely successful in the first sample collection, but there was nothing inside the sample tube. In response, the scientists said that the sample failed to be taken because the sample was broken into sand.
The fact that this screw did not immediately say that it succeeded even though something was clearly inside the sample tube seems to have been intended to make the verification work more reliable based on previous failures. Some of the first photos taken after the harvesting work showed rock-like reflections, but it may have been difficult to judge the success or failure clearly depending on the angle of sunlight. However, new photos taken afterward confirmed that samples were clearly included.
One expert even mentioned the possibility that the sample was an iron-containing material formed by the reaction of rocks and water. Perseverance seals the sample and transfers it to that location or designated location. Samples placed on the ground are then loaded onto a rocket that will eventually return to Earth from one of the craters in Zeze, using a collection rover that will later come to Mars.
However, the collection rover and recovery rocket ESA plans to prepare are still in the design stage. According to the current schedule, the retrieval mission is expected to depart to Mars by 2026 and arrive in 2028, with a return to Earth in 2031. As a recent return of extraterrestrial samples, China succeeded in bringing lunar soil through the Chang’e 5 mission in December 2020. Meanwhile, NASA expects the Osiris-REx probe to return samples from the asteroid Bennu in 2023.
Sample return from Mars is a joint mission between NASA and the European Space Agency, where the Sample Fetch Rover launches samples packaged by Perseverance into Mars orbit. The container with the sample will be brought to Earth by the Earth Return Orbiter. This ESA equipment was developed by Airbus of France in October last year.
