I absolutely despise planes lmao, I live under a flight path so that probably explains why
Because they're ugly, loud and polluting. At least they're better than cruise ships
Wait until supersonic ones come
supersonic ones came 50 years ago, and subsequently went again because no one wants to pay 10x more for a ticket, and people on the ground don't like hearing multiple sonic booms per day.
I know what concorde is, ive seen and been on it myself, the boom supersonic aircraft use a design that eliminates sonic booms and is smaller, that could help the cost and sonic booms
I doubt that'll happen. Supersonic commercial planes are a bad idea and like CaptinZoll said, the Concorde is an example of why it will never happen again, not just for the sonic booms. It's a prime example of expert engineering and design don't get me wrong, however I'm glad it'll be the last plane to go supersonic to be honest.
Besides, most aerospace companies are focusing on making their planes more efficient and cleaner, not faster
You do have a point, idk, lets just see what happens with the supersonic plane,
Werent tesla working on an electric plane iirc?
Probably, but like the Tesla highway truck I don't think that'll work either
I think supersonic planes would be amazing, but only to cross the oceans. Maybe have a speed limit on them over land or something so they don't disturb people?
Planes nowadays are really boring, they all look like the same. Older aircraft like Tu-154 looks way better.
--- Post updated ---
Doesn't work, supersonic planes are very inefficient at subsonic speeds.
The problem with that plane is that older russian aircraft are really unsafe, take the antonov an12b that was developed in the soviet union, that has had incidents countless times, as seen here, modern Russian aircraft have much better reputation’s, but tbf they are all copies of boeing and airbus planes.
This is called learned helplessness
It's not like there's no way to circumvent said monthly subscripition lol
This thought is what killed the Concorde in the first place, it was too regulated. We need to just let airlines use the things and they'll improve over time, just like any other product.
Electric planes... look, I'm just gonna say it, aren't at all reasonable with current battery technology - you'd take so much of the payload capacity just in batteries, it's stupid.
It was a government project, of course it sucked - private industry always has and always will do a better, more efficient job when given the chance. If no one's taking on the task yet without government intervention, that's because it's a bad idea given current technology. This was true when the Concorde was made. While technologically amazing, it wasn't AT ALL feasible to run long term. The fact that we see private industry taking it on today says that yes, some people do see a market in which they can sell this product. Let it work itself out, and it'll work.
Are we seriously arguing against planes? Really? They are imperative for not only civilian travel, but in shipping industries, military, and technological exploration.
Seriously, how would you get from, say, Nova Scotia in Canada to Norway? So you want to take a plane and be there in 18 hours, or float around in the North Atlantic for several days on a boat like a pilgrim.
There are bigger problems in the world outside of planes. Come on people.
I don't see anyone here saying we should get rid of planes, just that supersonic planes are impractical.
while we're com-plane-ing (heh), can we stop putting tetraethyl-lead in avgas, please?
I mean I'd like to see as many planes out of the skies as possible to be honest | aerospace |

Together with three nearby impact craters, the name was approved by the International Astronomical Union (IAU), China's State Administration of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense (SASTIND) announced on Tuesday.
In Chinese mythology, Chang'e is the goddess of the moon while "Guang Han Gong" is the palace that houses Chang'e and her pet Yutu (Jade Rabbit).
The three craters were given the names Zi Wei, Tian Shi and Tai Wei, three constellations in traditional Chinese astrology, according to Liu Jizhong, director of the lunar exploration project of the SASTIND.
The lunar rover Yutu recently found a new type of basaltic rock that could shed light on lunar volcanism, according to an article published by Chinese scientists in the Nature Communications science journal last month.
A total of 22 lunar features have been given Chinese names. The first crater was named Zu Chongzhi after a famous Chinese mathematician in 1961.
Li Chunlai, a member of the naming committee for lunar features, said the coordinates of "Guang Han Gong", with a diameter of 154 meters, are 44.12 degrees north latitude and 19.51 degrees west longitude. The crater, along with other features, is included in the area covered by lunar rover Yutu.
Rita Schulz, chair of the IAU Division F WG Planetary System Nomenclature, said landing sites on the moon can only be officially named when they are the first landing sites for the country's spacecraft. (Xinhua)

When looking to understand recent developments in the space industry – and the significance of changes that have come in part from SpaceX – it is important to first understand how satellites differ from one another.
Satellites are built for different uses, from weather to scientific research to telecommunications. Some hybrid satellites have more than one function; they can emit signals, carry equipment and be highly customized or standardized.
Most importantly, different kinds of satellites are not interchangeable with one another.
The Perfect Antennas
All of us listening to the radio in a moving vehicle have experienced, the further away you go from a station’s broadcasting antenna, the fainter and less clear the signal becomes. Driving through a valley or down the other side of a mountain only compounds the problem. This is simply due to line-of-sight: as you move farther away from an antenna, or as an object comes between you and an antenna, the radio signal can no longer reach you in a straight line and you pick up fainter signals that have bounced off other objects to get to you. This is why taller antennas are preferable: the higher the antenna, the fewer the obstacles.
Given their altitude, it is easy to understand why satellites are the perfect antennas. Strip away all the systems necessary for a telecommunication satellite to stay “alive” and function properly and you are left with transponders that receive and transmit signals. So, at the end of the day, telecommunication satellites are nothing more than antennas that can receive a signal, and because of their altitude, are capable of retransmitting that signal over a much broader region than any ground antenna.
There is a special orbit at an altitude of 36,000 kilometers above the equator called the geostationary orbit where satellites appear to be stationary above a given point on Earth. At this height, satellites spin around the Earth at the same rate as the Earth rotates on its axis. To someone on Earth looking up, the satellite therefore appears as a fixed point in the sky.
Satellite TV providers were quick to take advantage of this perceived fixed position by keeping their customers’ antennas aimed at a fixed point in the sky instead of having to track a moving satellite.
The geometry at play, however, means GEO satellites are not well suited for communicating with the far North and the far South: The satellite’s beams have difficulty reaching higher latitudes. To overcome this, Russian scientists were quick to exploit the Molniya orbit, which has an inclination above 60 degrees that peaks at 40,000 km over the northern hemisphere but also comes as close to 600 km to the Earth’s surface. This ensures that the satellite spends most of its time over the northern hemisphere. However, since it completes its orbit in 12 hours, it means that two, ideally three, satellites are required to ensure 24/7 coverage.
As well, since the satellite can complete two orbits a day, it spends roughly half of its time above Russia and the other half above North America. Since their introduction in the mid-1960s, Molniya satellites have always been a source of concern for the United States, as these telecommunications satellites can also serve – and in probable reality did serve – as spy satellites.
The problem with GEO satellites is that they can be placed only in a thin band along the equator called the GEO belt, where space is limited. Compounding this problem, as mentioned above, is the fact that not all positions along the GEO belt are desirable. A spot above Central America, for example, gives a satellite unlimited access to the continental United States. A spot above the Atlantic Ocean, on the other hand, might be good for a relay satellite between the eastern United States and Europe but does not offer good coverage of the continental United States.
To make things worse, for the same reason radio stations broadcast on different frequencies, satellites must be sufficiently spaced apart along the GEO belt to avoid interfering with each other. This also has the added benefit of preventing satellite collisions.
Because space is limited along the GEO belt, slots are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), an agency of the United Nations. Since some slots are better suited at serving populated areas than others, they can be in high demand.
Satellite companies will go as far as temporarily moving a satellite to occupy an empty slot while waiting for a replacement unit to permanently occupy the space. This is done to demonstrate to the ITU that the company is making use of the slot it has been allocated, because when it comes to the GEO belt “if you don’t use it you lose it.” In the same manner, defunct satellites on the GEO belt are moved to a graveyard orbit to make way for the next generation of satellites.
The first satellites to orbit the Earth did not have the power (or the ambition) to get to the GEO belt. This is because after leaving the Earth’s gravity, GEO satellites need their own propulsion systems to reach orbit. Russia’s Sputnik orbited at an altitude of 215 km above the Earth’s surface (a far cry from 36,000 km) in a region called Lower Earth Orbit (LEO), which encompasses orbits up to 2,000 km.
With more than 60% of operational satellites, the LEO is the most populated region in space. This is where you would find Hubble, the International Space Station (ISS), the former Space Shuttle, the former Russian Space Station MIR and scientific satellites.
Given its proximity to the Earth’s surface, the Lower Earth Orbit is also well suited to weather and Earth observation satellites. However, because of their lower altitude, LEO satellites must go much faster than their GEO counterparts to counteract the Earth’s greater pull and atmospheric drag at lower altitudes (known as orbital decay). This makes for a much faster orbit. So, where GEO satellites complete an orbit in 24 hours, LEO satellites do it in less than 2 hours.
For the same reason an airplane without propulsion cannot maintain flight, atmospheric drag causes satellites, space debris and meteorites to burn up on re-entry. It is also why Sputnik orbited around the Earth for only a period of two months. Without a propulsion system to make up for the speed lost to drag, its space voyage was doomed from the day it launched. LEO satellites today are much more sophisticated, and most will have some form of onboard propulsion or will at least orbit above the atmosphere’s higher bounds.
The advantages to LEO satellites come in the form of energy and latency. As discussed, GEO satellites require a tremendous amount of energy to get to orbit. Also, because GEO satellites orbit at a greater height than LEO satellites, a signal to and from a GEO satellite will take longer to reach an end user. This is referred to as latency. Latency might not be so important to someone catching their favorite late-night show, but anyone who has experienced two-way communication through GEO satellites (like Inmarsat) will vouch that it can be a little bit of an annoyance.
The region between 2,000 km (LEO) and 36,000 km (GEO) is referred to as Medium Earth Orbit (MEO). Surprisingly, there is little to say about this region. This is probably because it is a catch-all between LEO and GEO without any real distinguishable properties. Of course, this does not imply that this region is any less important, or less useful, than the other two.
The farther away from Earth a satellite is, the better its view of our planet becomes. At 36,000 km, a GEO satellite has a broad view, while at under 2,000 km a LEO satellite has a very limited view of the Earth.
If someone wanted to blanket the Earth with satellites to ensure maximum coverage, the lower the altitude, the more satellites would be required. This is referred to in the industry as a satellite constellation.
In GEO, a minimum of 3 satellites is required to maintain complete coverage. However, as we have discussed, GEO satellites are not well suited to communicate with the far North and the far South. This is why Russia has opted for Molniya constellations, which also require a minimum of 3 satellites.
In MEO, constellations of 20-30 satellites are common. Finally, because of their proximity to the Earth’s surface, LEO constellations might require a hundred, if not thousands, of satellites to achieve the same results.
Different Requirements for Different Orbits
The orbit in which a satellite operates will also influence the design of its bus. A LEO satellite will spend half its orbit in sunlight and the other half in the Earth’s shadow. This means that its hourly temperature will cycle from 120 °C in the sun to -170 °C in the dark. To deal with this, a LEO satellite will likely be outfitted with radiators to dissipate excess heat and also heaters to ensure its circuits do not freeze in the Earth’s shadow. It will also likely be outfitted with batteries to operate in darkness and solar panels to recharge them in the sun. GEO satellites, on the other hand, will spend on average of less than one hour a day in the dark, which is an enviable situation from a LEO satellite’s point of view.
LEO satellites must also contend with orbital decay, which requires them to readjust their speed constantly. This is a drain on the propulsion system, which can carry only a finite amount of fuel. Fuel is therefore critical to a satellite’s life expectancy. For their part, GEO satellites do not have to contend with orbital decay as the effects of the Earth’s atmosphere are negligeable at 36,000 km. Consequently, GEO satellites have a life expectancy of more than 15 years, while LEO satellites rarely last longer than 10 years.
In conclusion, it is obvious that one size does not fit all. One type of satellite is not capable of fulfilling all of the different tasks that are needed by satellite users. There are satellites and orbits for many different roles and different geographic regions. They perform many unique services for many types of organizations and given the huge investment involved, choosing the right satellite is key to success.

Flying insects can perform a wide array of extreme aerial maneuvers with exquisite accuracy and robustness, outmaneuvering any man-made flying device. As a physical system, a flapping insect is strongly nonlinear with fast-growing mechanical instabilities that must be controlled to allow flight. Hence, similar to balancing a stick on one's fingertip, flapping flight is a delicate balancing act made possible only by ever-present, fast corrective actions. Understanding the underlying mechanisms of insect flight is a major challenge, since this graceful behavior is highly coupled to complex fluid flows and arises from the concerted operation of physiological functions across multiple length and time scales. As such, Insect flight research involves basic concepts from nonlinear dynamics, fluid mechanics, neurobiology and control theory, and has direct application to the development of small flapping robots.
Here we show how flies control their rotational degrees of freedom: yaw, pitch and roll. We focus on their body roll angle, which is unstable and most sensitive degree of freedom. We glue a magnet to each fly and apply a short magnetic pulse that rolls it in mid-air. Fast video shows that flies fully correct for perturbations of up to 100o within 30-+7 ms. The roll correction maneuver consists of a stroke-amplitude asymmetry that is well described by a linear PI controller. For more aggressive perturbations, we show evidence for nonlinear and hierarchical control mechanisms. Flies respond to roll perturbations within a single wing-beat, or 5 ms, making this correction reflex one of the fastest in the animal kingdom.

@rlamacraft I would totally have expected passengers to be kinda weighted. I mean.. weight is an important factor in a plane after all.
@trinsec I know on smaller planes they have to make sure there’s an even distribution of weight across the aircraft for stability reasons, but I would have everyone weighed for fuel and perhaps even price efficiency

He provides below his perspective on the year ahead.
Q: What is one of the most important issues facing the A&D sector in 2013?
Tom Captain: The A&D industry is becoming more global due to heightened competition, growing travel demands and increased security requirements in emerging markets. Globalization provides opportunities for lower cost and for technologically advanced product introductions.
Increasingly, these products can be designed and manufactured virtually anywhere, anytime, largely due to the Internet and advancements in digital product definition, design and manufacturing software.
Globalization is also affecting product selections, in that military and commercial customers alike are requiring that value be “offset” by placing work in their countries of origin. This tendency is likely to continue, as traditional countries are pressured to keep their jobs at home, but is balanced by the need for companies to grow revenues and continue to reduce labor costs.
The trend in the industry toward globalization is also marked by new market entrants, particularly in the commercial aircraft segment, some of which receive government financial support that may potentially invite World Trade Organization review consideration in future years. For both the defense and commercial segments, it is expected that more governmental scrutiny and regulatory compliance will be required on acquisition practices in the areas of anti-bribery, anti-money laundering and ethical business practices in order to provide a more level playing field for competition.
Q: What are some steps companies in this sector can take to manage through the current climate of economic uncertainty?
Tom Captain: First, let me address defense and security. Defense revenues were flat through the first nine months of 2012 at the global level, but in the U.S., revenues continued to decline at negative .5% year over year. Indeed, only three out of the top 13 defense contractors doing business with the U.S. Department of Defense experienced revenue growth. Continued global economic challenges coupled with revenue gaps and cost pressures in 2013 may result in additional decreases in revenue, lower returns on invested capital, as well as margin contraction for many defense industry companies, creating pressure to consolidate in order to squeeze out excess defense segment capacity. In response, the segment is likely to undergo more streamlining of its cost structure, divestiture of non-core assets and additions of gap filling, as well as game changing acquisitions. Companies have also renewed foreign military sales efforts into new geographic markets that face increasing threats to national security. Effective execution of such strategies will be necessary in order for defense contractors to mitigate against more aggressive competition.
Next, let’s look at commercial and business aircraft. Growth in commercial aircraft manufacturers’ revenues is expected to reach record levels in 2013, based on increased production rates and the introduction of the next generation aircraft. It is likely that 2013 may continue the new trend of global production levels above 1,000 aircraft per year for the third year in a row. Backlogs are expected to continue growing, with airlines continuing to update their fleets with new fuel-efficient aircraft in order to stay competitive. Suppliers to aircraft original equipment manufacturers are likely to be challenged to keep pace with production requirements and are expected to invest in skills development, tooling and manufacturing capacity. Finally, for the first time in several years, the industry may experience an uptick in demand, albeit modest, in the business aircraft segment as well.¹
Q: What are high-performing companies doing to foster innovation and growth?
Tom Captain: Although it has only been 109 years since the Wright brothers’ first flight, the industry has contributed fundamentally to the way consumers live, work, travel and communicate, and continued innovations developed in areas such as jet aircraft, communications satellites, the Internet and global positioning systems. Also, the industry is primarily responsible for the reduction of casualties in armed conflict due to the technology innovations that increasingly keep war fighters out of harm’s way with unmanned aerial vehicles, sophisticated surveillance sensors and over the horizon strike capability. This industry has created the technology innovations that have contributed to the very fabric of society—from the ability to communicate globally around the clock from our personal digital assistants, to safe and efficient air travel, to securing our borders and defending our way of life.
If past is prologue, expect game changing technology innovations to continue to be created within the global A&D industry into the future. In the defense segment, some of the science and technology being developed include directed energy and high powered microwave weapons, hyper-sonic missiles, long-range and high-altitude unmanned aerial systems, satellite-based high resolution full motion video cameras and extraordinary software that can trace financial transactions of known terrorists.
For commercial applications, interesting technologies are being experimented with that can harvest solar power from space-based solar arrays, converted to microwaves or high voltage wireless signals to ground, air and sea-based distribution networks. The prospects of efficient supersonic commercial aircraft that can address the sonic boom and environmental challenges of the past are highly anticipated. These kinds of innovative technologies will change our society in immeasurable ways. Just like during the first century, the industry has changed the way humans interact on a global basis. This is indeed something to look forward to in the near-term, as well as in the future.

This morning, I went out and was ready to get into the air, having once launched already.
The first flight the wing came up immediately, formed well, and I was on my way. Due to an adjustment of the harness (hang point 4, thank you very much) I could actually get into the seat and get comfortable.
A beautiful day, I got to fly a long ways...almost out of eye shot. I also rode formation on another pilot, and felt my first turbulence from another aircraft. I was probably 8 lengths behind him when I should have been 10. Didn’t cause any issue, it was just noticable.
When I came back, the CFI had me practicing figure 8’s to lose altitude, and then planning my approach. 2 dry runs, and then I came in pretty as you please, and landed on my feet, and fell over.
Oops. Not supposed to be that clumsy. Right.
Second flight time. I got ready and tried launch attempt 1. Splat. Tripped on something, face plant.
Nevermind, pick myself up, and try again. This time the wing didn’t inflate properly.
Okay, try again, this time, the wing inflated to the side, and I face planted again, breaking the tip of my prop.
I was grounded for a while to let the emotions burn off. It’s funny, but when you have a *ton* of adrenaline, and you get angry, you’re *very* angry. I took a long walk.
By the time I was calm and ready to go again the wind had died. No more flying tonight. | aerospace |

The Artemis 1 Space Launch System rocket and Orion capsule are surrounded
by work platforms inside High Bay 3 of the assembly building.
Ground integration engineer Olivia Fuentes is involved in a safety training
system for astronauts in the VAB for future Artemis flights to the moon.
“We’d be stacking a booster or shuttle and there would be a
launch 3 miles away,” McKune recalls. “It would oscillate a
His life’s work in the space program is a dream fulfilled.
“Being a critical part of that chain was exciting,” McKune says.
‘At that time, no one else had a vehicle like the shuttle. There
are a lot of unsung heroes who all contributed vastly.”
TEST OF TIME
The VAB’s interior has been modified to serve its flight
systems during the 56 years of the spaceport’s launches. The
elevators and work platforms had to be redesigned for the
shuttle program and the same has been done for the Artemis
mission. Exterior physical maintenance from aging and
hurricanes has been ongoing.
“The building’s interior has undergone lots of changes,” Koller
says. “But with all of that change, the VAB has remained the
centerpiece of the Kennedy Space Center. It’s still as viable
today as it was when we began.”
Its longevity is widely acknowledged. The Florida Association
of the American Institute of Architects awarded it the Test
of Time award and the American Society of Civil Engineers
designated it as a National Historical Engineering Landmark.
It is on the National Register of Historic Places.
Olivia Fuentes, a NASA ground integration engineer,
looks to an exciting future for the assembly hangar in its
part with the Artemis missions. She works at the Kennedy
Space Center’s Exploration Ground Systems that has been
updating the assembly hangar since 2014 as part of NASA’s
challenge to head back to the moon and later to Mars.
In mid-August, the 5.75 million-pound, 322-foot-high
combined Space Launch System rocket, Lockheed Martin’s
Orion capsule and mobile launcher were set to roll out
from the massive hangar to Launch Pad 39B to launch no
earlier than Aug. 29 for an uncrewed Artemis I test flight
orbiting the moon and returning.
A few of the major upgrades include 10 levels of flexible
platforms installed in the high bay that can move in and
out and up and down, Fuentes explains via an online
video call in July. A new fire protection system and
environmental control system have been installed and
all four of the huge liftoff doors on the high bays have
been upgraded. She is proud of an emergency egress
system being installed in the assembly hangar to train the
astronauts for safety procedures.
“Everything has a time and place for the work to be done,
and the steps in which the different tasks need to be done
are critical,” Fuentes says. “It’s been quite a feat and quite
a journey for NASA to have so many people come together
for Artemis 1 and ready to launch. We are very blessed to
be part of the program.” | aerospace |

If FMS were to make it true scale, it would become a $500+ model. This version of the Beaver is what we used to call “standoff scale,” since standing off at a distance it is very scale-like. Assembly and radio gear installation takes about 45 minutes out of the box. At the field, it took me about 10 minutes to get the wings on and be ready to fly.
I used the recommended 6S4000 battery, though I find a 5000 is better for the CG (center of gravity). I had to add an ounce of weight for the 4000 to balance out as I prefer – slightly nose heavy. Taxi run is true if you don't nail it. The motor has enough torque that if you go full throttle instead of easing in, she will pull to the left big time. Lift off was at about half throttle, climbed out to safe altitude, two clicks of right and one down and hands off. (FYI: I used the low rate settings as recommended for this maiden flight.)
She flies scale-like at half and WOT (wide-open throttle) is a wow factor! On high rates, be prepared: she is very nimble. On landing, she does require a long approach to slow down but is gentle and accurate all the way to the ground. No tendency to stall. Flaps are very effective and do help in slowing down for landing, though not needed.
For the money, this is one great giant-scale plane to fly.

(1) User Manual
The giant FMS Beaver 2000mm combines stunning beauty and realism with upgrades, updated technology, and new features. The largest propeller aircraft offered in the FMS line is a giant scale gem that offers incredible value.
Not only does it look fantastic, the Beaver performs superbly. The thrust force can reach more than 5000g and the flying weight is only 3800g. With a classic, elegant black and yellow trim scheme, the Beaver combines breath-taking visuals with its impressive performance specs. Capable of leisurely low and mid-speed flight, this model still maintains surprising aerobatic qualities.
Easier than ever
With the latest multi-connect technology, FMS has streamlined the wiring system, making it easier to install and eliminating wiring problems. Easier plane transport is facilitated by the new connectors that allow pilots to remove and replace wings with just one step. All channels on each wing are brought together in one port. The customers can install the main wing set simply by inserting the port and then securing with four screws.
To make flying the Beaver more fun at night, there are five LED lights. Light up the night with LEDs located in front of the main wing set and at the rear of the fuselage.
The aileron and flap are to scale. The latest EPO52 foam material as well as the hollow main wing greatly alleviates the airplane weight.
Electric retracting tow release and floats are available to add to the package. The tow release will make your model ready to tow banners and gliders.
With optional floats, the Beaver’s high-powered motor is ready to be put to the test of a water take off.
The DHC-2 Beaver is a general purpose bush plane developed by de Havilland Canada. Though originally used for cargo/passenger hauling and crop dusting, it was also adopted by the United States Armed Forces as a utility aircraft and search and rescue unit. The single-engine, high-wing, propeller-driven STOL aircraft appeared in both the Korean and Vietnam Wars and was popular among front line men. When production finally ceased in 1967, only 1,657 DHC-2 Beavers had been built. | aerospace |

Following the airshow, the helicopters will go on a demonstration tour of countries in Southeast Asia.
The Mi-171A2 and Ansat models have already arrived in China, where they are performing training flights before the opening of the airshow’s flight program. Guests and participants of Airshow China 2018 will be able to see the Russian helicopters in the air on every day of the show, which will run from November 6-11 in Zhuhai (China).
In addition, models of the Mi-171A2, Ansat and Ka-32 will be on display at the Russian Helicopters stand, and specialists of the holding will give presentations to potential customers about the competitive advantages of Russian-made helicopters.
“China is one of the key operators of helicopters not only in Asia, but worldwide. Today, there are more than 400 Russian helicopters registered in the country, but this market is continuing to expand rapidly, it needs modern civilian aircraft, and we are prepared to offer these. At Airshow China 2018, we will be presenting the Mi-171A2 and Ansat—models which have received particular interest from our Chinese partners. We have already begun the process of certifying these helicopters in China, the process will shortly be completed for Ansat, and for Mi-171A2 it will be completed by mid-2019,” said Andrey Boginsky, the Director General of Russian Helicopters.
After the airshow, the Mi-171A2 and Ansat helicopters will set off on a demo tour of countries in Southeast Asia. The almost 5-kilometer route will pass through Hanoi (Vietnam), Phnom Penh (Cambodia), Bangkok (Thailand), and Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia). The tour will include demonstration flights, as well as events for partners and potential operators, where representatives of the holding will talk about the key benefits of Russian helicopters, their after-sales service system, and financial options to ensure a smooth procurement process.
“China is Rostec’s largest strategic partner in various areas of aviation, including the helicopter-building industry. This is one of the main reasons for us to start the demo tour of our helicopters to Southeast Asia and China during Airshow China,” said Anatoly Serdyukov, Rostec’s Aviation Cluster Industrial Director. “Ansat and Mi-171A2 are modern civilian helicopters that are competitive in terms of price and quality. I am convinced that these machines will have strong positions in their market niches.”
The Ansat is a light, multi-purpose twin-engine helicopter manufactured by Kazan Helicopters. In May 2015, a modification of the aircraft with a medical module passed certification. The module complies with all international air ambulance standards and can help in saving people’s lives. The helicopter is equipped with a mechanical ventilation system and a tele-ECG machine that is capable of reading a cardiogram in real time. According to the certificate, the design of the helicopter allows it to quickly be transformed into either a cargo or passenger helicopter with capacity for up to 7 people.
The Mi-171A2 is the latest modification of Mi-8/17 helicopters. It is equipped with VK-2500PS-03 engines with a digital control system, as well as a more efficient X-shaped tail rotor and a new main rotor with composite blades and an enhanced aerodynamic profile. The cruise and maximum speeds of the Mi-171A2 are 10% higher than those of the mass-produced Mi-8/17 helicopters, and the payload is 25% greater. The Mi-171A2 is equipped with the KBO-17 modern digital on-board equipment suite designed according to the “glass cockpit” principle, which has meant that the number of crew members can be reduced to two. The helicopter can be used as a passenger aircraft and is available in transport, passenger, and VIP versions. | aerospace |

The advantage of a helicopter over an aeroplane in the same situation is that the helicopter does not require a large area on which to land – so it is in fact safer!
If the helicopter has two engines, the take off and landing profiles are designed to ensure that in the unlikely event of an engine failure the helicopter can l and back safely or, once at flying speed, can climb away and fly to an alternative landing area.

Eye in space detects blasts better than ear to the ground, scientists say.
doi:10.1038/nindia.2019.154 Published online 18 November 2019
Scientists at the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) estimate that an underground nuclear test carried out by North Korea in 2017 may have been 17 times bigger in its explosive strength than the bomb dropped on Hiroshima during the Second World War in 19451.
Reporting the precise range of North Korea’s largest affirmed nuclear test, they say its explosive yield was 245–271 kiloton (kt) of TNT as compared to the Hiroshima bomb’s 15 kt.
Previous yield estimations of this explosion were in the range of 70 to 400 kt. The ISRO scientists bettered the tracking through a space-based method using satellite radar data. They contend that having an eye in the space is better than relying on the conventional ‘hearing’ through a network of earthquake-measuring seismometers deployed on the ground to detect such explosions.
Underground blasts may escape notice if no seismic monitoring stations are available near the test site or if the seismic data is not openly available. Earth observation satellites such as the Sentinel-1, of the European Space Agency, and the Japanese ALOS-2, carry advanced synthetic aperture radars (SARs) that can provide data to map changing land cover and ground deformation, their report says.
Using data from the ALOS-2 satellite and a technique called Synthetic Aperture Radar Interferometry (InSAR), the ISRO team led by Sreejith Kattumadam at the Ahmedabad-based Space Applications Centre in Gujarat, India tracked changes over ground after the underground explosion on 3 September 2017. The test chamber was located on Mount Mantap in the northeast of North Korea.
After careful analysis of data, they now suggest that the explosion was 17 times the size of the bomb dropped on Hiroshima in 1945 and powerful enough to shift the surface above the detonation point by a few metres. The scientists also determined the depth of the nuclear source at 542 ± 30 m below Mt. Mantap. Their study demonstrates the value of space-borne InSAR data for measurement of the characteristics of underground nuclear tests with greater precision.
Though nuclear explosions are rarely monitored from space at present, the authors argue that satellites Sentinel-1 and ALOS-2, along with the NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar (NISAR) mission to be launched in 2022, could be used for this purpose.

Outside of the certification process, the FAA has slapped Boeing with two fines for installing substandard or unapproved equipment in some Max planes. With the first fine, which the FAA proposed in January, the agency said Boeing used improper equipment to guide the slats on 178 Max planes. Positioned at the leading edge of each wing, slats are deployed at take-off and landing to provide more lift. Though that fine has yet to be finalized, the FAA had suggested a penalty of $5.4 million. The FAA also accused Boeing of installing a guidance system on 173 Max planes that used sensors that hadn't been properly tested. The proposed penalty is $19.68 million. … [Read more...] about Boeing 737 Max could stay grounded until late 2020

Most people have. The good news is that private commercial space tourism is upon us. Virgin Galactic aims to the the first company to offer sub-orbital space flights within the next 12-18 months. Beginning at $200,000 per seat, the price tag is out of reach for the ordinary person, but as more companies enter the scene, expect the price to plummet to the point where it costs about $50,000.
If a sub-orbital flight is not appealing to you, there are several companies who plan to offer orbital flights, lunar expeditions, flights to Mars, and even a zero gravity orbital hotel! Expect the price tags to be high in the beginning, but as time passes and more of these flights are made, prices will fall.

The brewery followed up on its plan by sending seeds into space next month. They first announced their ambitions to be the first beer in space (Mars in particular) at South by Southwest in Austin, Texas earlier this year. They followed it up with the update that they were sending Barley seeds into space to show that they were determined to make this plan come to fruition.
On December 4, the SpaceX will launch into space on a new cargo supply mission from Cape Canaveral in Florida. Aside from carrying the usual supplies, it will also be bringing 20 Barley seeds from Budweiser. Once the seeds are on the International Space Station, it will stay in orbit for around a month. The seeds will then be sent back to earth to be analyzed. That data that will be taken from this will help beer producers create a brew that can survive space and be consumed by astronauts.
One of the experiments will look at how the seeds react in a unique environment, particularly one with almost no gravity. Another experiment will see if barley germination will survive the harsh environment of space. The launch of the SpaceX rocket will be broadcast live on the internet on the official website on December 4.
“Not only will the research offer insights on steps to creating beer on the Red Planet, but it could also provide valuable information on the production of barley and the larger agricultural community here on earth,” reads a press release by the beer maker. | aerospace |

In recent years, we always hear that everything is bad in Russia, do not produce anything that it has no future. It is clear that this is a real information war. Well, okay, not about it. Let’s talk about good. About the aviation industry. Why about her? Because the aviation industry is an innovative sphere. It always uses advanced technologies, and if the country takes a certain place in this area — one of the dominants, then this is an indicator that a technological basis for the production of high-tech materials has been established in the country. In general, those who understand people will understand that aviation is a very difficult industry.
To establish the airfather is very and very difficult without serious financial injections and interest from the state. Therefore, as if oppositionists noise, but Russian aviation was revived and fell quite firmly on his feet. Simply this category of people is difficult to recognize that in Russia there is work on the restoration of industry, in general, and the aviation industry, in particular, made a gigantic step. Of course, immediately start responding by a methods, leading to an example Boeing and Airbus. But you need to remember that it has become with the Soviet aviation industry, after the collapse of the USSR and the scattering and riding in the 1990s.
In fact, by the 2000s, foreign airplanes flew in Russian airlines. And these aircraft were old, not new. All this happened due to the crisis of the 1990s. Unified cooperation between the Soviet republics was destroyed. It was necessary either to negotiate with the new formed countries where Soviet enterprises remained, or buying their aircraft from foreign countries. There was also the third option: it is to recreate in Russia those produced from the sphere of aviaprom, which remained in the former Allied republics. Therefore, the revival of the Russian aircraft was a key issue for our country. With the arrival of Putin’s power — the phased restoration of industry and aviation did not go around the party. Before the collapse of the Soviet Union, there were about 1.5 thousand airfields and airports in our country. At the moment, there is a revival of this network. Therefore, Russia was needed their aircraft, not imported. And with this direction, our country succeeded very much.
By the way, if you are a person who is more interesting to watch videos or listen, then I advise you to watch the video on this article on my
Let’s specifically, with what directions in the aviation industry have explicit successes and for which you need to be glad.
The aircraft was designed and began to be made since the late 2000s. This near hospital liner goes to the fact that his domestic localization approaches the overwhelming, including Russian engines will be installed. Plus, in Komsomolsk-on-Amur, the plant is provided by permanent orders, and therefore people — work. This aircraft was originally an object of ridicule. But now, the plane has become better, the serving base is improved. SSJ-100 becomes a serious competitor in its class in the global market.
The newest MS-21 aircraft is based on the Yak-242 aircraft. This aircraft is designed for medium length lines. This aircraft uses the latest technologies and modern materials. MS-21 is installed in both Russian PD-14 engines and American Pratt & Whitney. Our plane after its serial launch will begin to compete with foreign aircraft Boeing-737 Max and Airbus-320 Neo. Namely, from the Russian market — MS-21 accurately squeeze these aircraft. The same perspective is visible in the international market, since the plane itself is better in parameters. In addition, a portfolio has already been created for the first orders, they are more than one and a half hundred units. It is both for the Russian market and for foreign countries. The production of the aircraft was established in the city of Irkutsk.
This long-haul aircraft undergoes modernization and production has already been deployed at the aircraft factory in Voronezh. IL-96 will compete with foreign long-haul, namely, Boeing and Airbus companies.
For internal lines, a new IL-114 turboprop liner has been created in Russia. Capacity 64 passenger. This suggests that this aircraft will give a powerful impetus to the development of small aviation. The plane will be made in Nizhny Novgorod and near Moscow.
This is not the entire list. This can also include engines developed in Russia and simply new production recreated in Russia from scratch in this area. An unambiguous conclusion that the Russian aviaprom is revived. And now a specific goal is to take its specific niche in the world market, hundredth shares, and specific numbers. And for Russia, this is a matter of state importance that is solved very, even successfully.
And today everything. Thank you for reading to the end. We are waiting for your reading of our new articles.

The results were published following an experiment on a TEXUS-49 research rocket mission ran by a team from the University of Zurich.
These incredible results were obtained by applying small, double-stranded DNA molecules onto the outer shell of the payload section of the rocket. Following the launch, space flight and re-entry, the plasmid DNA could still be found on each of the application points. Even more astonishing was the discovery that much of the salvaged DNA remained able to transfer genetic information to bacterial and connective tissue cells. The experiment was originally conceived as a test to check the stability of biomarkers during spaceflight and re-entry – meaning the results were all the more unexpected.
The findings have some exciting consequences for our understanding of DNA. Study leader Professor Oliver Ullrich believes the results indicate that ‘DNA’s genetic information is essentially capable of surviving the extreme conditions of space and the re-entry into Earth’s dense atmosphere.’ The inference of this is that organic molecules could potentially spread between planetary bodies through meteor impacts. Around 100 tons of extra-terrestrial material hits Earth each day, a fact that has led some scientists to believe that DNA could reach our planet from space.
Whatever the implications of these findings, they also act as a caution for future space missions, most particularly the search for extra-terrestrial life. The surprising stability of DNA presents a lot of opportunity for contamination. It is very plausible that space ships could carry terrestrial DNA to their target sites. | aerospace |

Belgian Science Policy
On the 3rd of October 1997, Belgium and Argentina concluded an agreement to set up the frame of their cooperation in the space activities area. This constitutes an institutional base for cooperation between scientists and/of industrials in the field of space sciences and technologies, of Earth Observation and Telecoms. The partner of the Belgian Federal Science Policy Office for the implementation and the coordination of projects in the frame of this agreement is CoNAE (Argentinian Commission for space activities).

SPOT and SPOT-vegetation
Belgium has been co-operating with France on Earth Observation since 1979. This co-operation takes the form of an intergovernmental agreement on the development of the SPOT 1 satellite, launched in 1986, and its successors. Sweden is also co-operating in this programme. The agreement implementation is entrusted to the Belgian Federal Science Policy Office and to the CNES (French National Space Research Centre). The SPOT programme targets the distribution and exploitation of satellite imagery: the data are distributed via a private firm, Spot-Image, a French company specifically created for this purpose. Spot-Image is based in Toulouse and is open to international capital (including the Belgian State and several national manufacturers). In addition, Belgium joined the French programme for Earth Observation "Pléiades" in 2004. Belgium participation into the Pléiades programme and its high level are based on the one hand upon industrial interests and on the other upon the necessity to get a permanent and continuous access to satellite high resolution imagery. This availability is an important factor of Belgium's positionning in the European project GMES (global Monitoring for the Environment and Security.

Cooperation with Russia in the space sector
On 20 December 2000, a cooperation agreement was signed in Moscow between the Belgian Government and the Russian Government on the exploration and use of outer space. This agreement constitutes the third international bilateral treaty signed by Belgium in the space research and applications sphere. This agreement falls within the framework of general action on the part of Russia aimed at strengthening its cooperation with Europe in this sphere. In addition to this bilateral instrument, Belgium will also be able to cooperate indirectly with Russia by way of a future agreement between the Federation and the European Space Agency (ESA).
On the Belgian side, following the example of the rest of European industry, interest is being focused chiefly on access to existing technologies, but also on involvement in research as well as developments within the framework of Russian space programmes. For their part, the Russians are endeavouring to export a number of proven technologies, but also and above all to forge alliances with Belgian institutional and industrial partners, chiefly in order to access European projects and programmes. Furthermore, the know-how of several centres of excellence in cutting-edge space research spheres in Belgium is recognised and highly prized by Russian scientists and manufacturers.
The aim of the agreement is to introduce a legal framework that will allow institutional cooperation to be systematised between the two parties. The areas of cooperation are:
> Astrophysics and astronomy;
> Remote sensing and Earth observation;
> Material studies (e.g. fluids);
> Space medicine and biology;
> Space telecommunications and associated services;
> Satellite navigation and associated services;
> Inhabited space transport, astronautics and ground
> Launchers and associated services;
> Valorisation of products derived from space technology;
> Protection of the space environment (space debris, etc.). | aerospace |

Hakamagoshi in the city of Hokuto. The Air Self-Defense Force confirmed sightings of the wreckage.
It was not immediately clear if any of the crew had survived.
Earlier in the day, some 1,800 people, including the Self-Defense Forces personnel, police and rescue workers resumed the search for the aircraft that had been carrying four male crew members. The search had been hampered by rain and fog that prevented the SDF from conducting air searches.
The LR-2 reconnaissance aircraft disappeared from radar some 20 minutes after taking off Okadama Airport in Sapporo around 11:25 a.m. Monday while en route to Hakodate Airport, where it was due to pick up a patient, a doctor and other personnel, the Defense Ministry said.
The aircraft lost contact with ground control around 11:45 a.m. at an altitude of 900 meters as it was preparing to make an instrument landing due to low visibility.
It vanished from radar about a minute later, the ministry said.

The conversations took place on January 19 and include reports from numerous aircraft about "multiple lights sometimes in a triangle formation.”
"I'm certainly no expert, but they're moving side-to-side and then going away from each other and then forming triangles," an Air Canada pilot from Seattle to Winnipeg reported while flying over Saskatchewan.
"That doesn't really seem like they're in any type of orbit. But I mean, I'm no expert."
"Yeah, it's quite bizarre," another pilot nearby adds.
"There's around six of them just randomly in formation flying at a high altitude at 12 o'clock."
"Definitely not satellites," another pilot interjects.
"It's unlike anything I've ever seen in the 15 years of night flying that I've done."
The clip came from recordings posted on LiveATC.net.
"There's no active airspace, military airspace, anything like that we're aware of," an air traffic controller can be heard saying.
"I honestly have no idea what that might be.
"Sure be nice to get answers on that, for sure," a pilot said.
While answers may not be immediate, an investigation into what could have caused the lights is underway.

Breakthrough Starshot is an initiative by the Breakthrough Foundation to prove ultra-fast ultra-light nanospacecraft can be launched by laser radiation pressure to nearby stars, and will lay the foundations for a first launch to Alpha Centauri within the next generation. Designs for a 0.2c Alpha Centauri mission minimize beam director capital cost by accelerating a ~4 m, several gram diameter sailcraft for ~10 min. A number of hard engineering challenges remain to be solved before these missions can become a reality: Large coherent laser arrays are required. No consensus has been reached on the most suitable sail geometry for stable flight, “beam-riding”. The sail itself requires major advances in materials science and photonic design to produce materials with the required absorptance, emittance, reflectance, areal density and operating temperature. Along the way, the project will enable increasingly fast outer solar system and interstellar precursor missions. Breakthrough Starshot will pave the way for multi-lightyear pipelines of sailcraft that fly past each target star every few weeks. Beams such as Starshot will produce an extremely observable transient feature of Earth and therefore could be an observable of extraterrestrial advanced civilizations. | aerospace |

January 5, 2009
AGAP-SOUTH CAMP, ANTARCTICA– Once we began flying at AGAP, we quickly got into a routine of collecting data, downloading, archiving and running a quality control procedure. We are operating 24 hours a day in two teams. There is almost always someone at the computer copying or reviewing data. Though there have been days that have been flawless, our peak performance of 4 flights per days has been interrupted by weather, which was particularly bad around the New Year.
Life at AGAP revolves around the forecast… which is not always the actual weather. The weather determines if we’ll be allowed to get off the ground and which direction we can point our airplane, SJB. Assuming the weather cooperates, a day in the science tent follows a certain rhythm, paced by the arrival and departure of SJB.
The day begins with the rising of our day shift operators, Nick and Michael. They pop into the science tent eager to know how things went the night before. The flight plan for that morning has usually been selected a day or two in advance. On the morning of the flight, it is relayed to the pilots and our flight operator, the scientist who makes sure all our equipment is up and running before and during the flight.
Thirty minutes before we leave the ground, our base stations have to be on. Base stations collect a similar type of data as equipment on the plane, but are in a fixed position just outside our science tent. We have base stations for the GPS and magnetic data. The GPS base station is required so we know where the plane is relative to camp. The magnetic base station is needed to capture how the magnetic field is varying in time, while SJB’s onboard system captures how the magnetic field varies in space. The Earth’s magnetic field varies in time in part because of currents in the liquid part of the core of the Earth (i.e. the liquid outer core). The magnetic field varies in space because of different rock types under the ice. By collecting data at the base station and onboard SJB, we are able to separate the changes in time, which we are not studying, from the changes in space which relate to the rocks we see on the radar lines.
While SJB is in the air, we are in the office making copies of the data. This is particularly time consuming for the radar data because of its volume. Copying the radar drives takes so long that we have one computer and one person, Chris, designated to the task. After the radar copy is complete, a sampling of the data is plotted and reviewed. Meanwhile, similar procedures are executed on the magnetic, GPS and laser data from the previous night’s flight. Although not an exciting aspect of the work, the QC (quality control) step is essential. It is during this step we identify survey lines that might need to be reflown and also get a sense of how well our system is working.
When the plane returns, it is greeted by a flurry of activity. The camp staff are ready to refuel, Chris or Nick will take blank hard drives out to the airplane and swap them for the ones containing the radar data for the flight, Stefan and Dan check on the status of the gravimeter. The flight operator brings in written logs and data on memory cards to archive and copy. The plane only sits unattended in between the day and night shift, while the whole camp is having dinner or on bad weather days.
The pace of the survey makes the days go by quickly. I keep forgetting that the GAMSEIS team is done with their work and gone already! I still expect them to come back from an installation and be sitting in the galley at dinner. With 4 flights a day, we are just barely keeping up with the in-flux of data, which is good because you need something to do in this place or you’ll feel trapped. Fortunately, I never feel trapped when surrounded by science! | aerospace |

These Workshops, focusing on planetary exploration and astronomy, have been held in India (1991) and Sri Lanka (1995) for Asia and the Pacific, Costa Rica (1992) and Honduras (1997) for Central America, Colombia (1992) for South America, Nigeria (1993) and Mauritius (2001) for Africa, Egypt (1994) and Jordan (1999) for Western Asia, and Germany (1996) and France (2000) for Europe.
Among the projects identified to stimulate the participation of the developing countries in basic space science, the World Space Observatory ( WSO) has been initiated as a project, which could contribute in an important way in the stimulation of participation in space activities. The combination of such project with the simultaneous development of Virtual Observatories (VO) creates a powerful mechanism to enhance the basic space science activities in developing countries.
The scientific focus for the 11th Workshop in the series of UN/ESA Workshops on Basic Space Science for developing countries to be held in Cordoba, Argentina is foreseen to be associated with the observational aspects of the understanding of the structure and evolution of the Universe. The participation in experimental sciences may be more important for a sustainable development process in the pre-industrial countries than theoretical investigations. As a consequence the programme will concentrate on those aspects of the current state of knowledge about the structure and evolution of the Universe, which need effective new observational material. Through this it is expected that new venues will be identified to accelerate the participation of developing countries in basic space science, including the definition and continued stimulation of regional activities. At the same time, impact and achievements of the previous workshops in the development process will be reviewed.

3. Programme of the Workshop
The Workshop is foreseen to be structured around the following topics:
During the Workshop, additional working group sessions will be held to develop future activities related to these topics. As part of the Workshop, visits to CONAE's Ground Receiving Station at the Teofilo Tabanera Space Center and the first Astronomical Observatory of Argentina at Cordoba will be organized for interested participants.
4. Call for Papers
This Workshop is the 11th in the series of UN/ESA Workshop on Basic Space Science and will be oriented to the opportunities for developing countries to participate actively in space observations and in the utilization of space technologies. Efforts will focus on the new environment available in astronomy, mainly brought about by the arrival of the information age. Emphasis will be placed on defining ways to make the developing countries participate directly in the process of data acquisition, rather than only archival research. Although the utilization of the archives from space missions represents a natural and efficient tool to initiate active participation in basic space science and increase scientific literacy, a follow up process for the learned skills must be created. Such a process represents probably a very effective input for an accelerated and sustainable development. It is expected to identify those frontiers of science in which the co-operation between scientists on a global scale can be applied effectively, with comparable resources available to all involved in a modern scientific communications environment.
5. Language of the Workshop
English and Spanish will be the working languages for the Workshop.
6. Important Date
Indication of Interest deadline is 01 July 2002.
7. Health Requirement and Related Topics
Potential participants are advised to check with the embassy/consulate of Argentina for obtaining the visa and/or transit visa, if required. Note that adequate health insurance is the responsibility of the participants. | aerospace |

Students from Dresden, Wallaceburg and all across the Lambton-Kent District School Board had the opportunity back in May 2016 to listen, learn and be motivated by the first Canadian to walk in space.
Retired astronaut Col. Chris Hadfield provided the keynote address at the Specialist High Skills Major Conference, held in Hadfield’s hometown of Sarnia.
During his address, Hadfield encourages the students to follow their dreams… and he provided them an exercise to practice themselves.
“Whenever you go into a bookstore, I would bet you don’t always go to every single section exactly the same,” Hadfield said.
“There is probably parts of the bookstore that you normally go to, whatever it is that is interesting to you. If the two of us were next to each other and we walked into a bookstore, within 30 seconds or so I would go off, and you would go off and what you are doing is going to the place that you like, the places that are interesting to you.”
Hadfield said for him, he wanted to walk on the moon.
“Canada didn’t have astronauts, they didn’t even have a space agency but I thought if I was going to be an astronaut someday, what should I do,” he said.
“So, I read books about it… I knew astronauts flew in space, so I learned to fly. I can do that, so I joined the Air Cadets and I learned to fly. I went to school, I learned to scuba dive, learned to speak other languages. I tried to constantly increase my skills so that someday maybe, somebody would pick me to be an astronaut. Amazingly enough, I flew in space three times and was even the Commander of the world space ship and spent half a year off the planet, on board the International Space Station.”
Hadfield added: “I think it’s an important personal thing to go through, a definition of perfection, an impossible perfection in your life.”

The airplane crash lawyers at Bohrer & Lukeman are investigating a general aviation accident in which a small airplane crashed on June 16 in University Park, Pennsylvania. The twin-engine Piper PA-31 Navajo aircraft crashed during its descent into the airport, which is owned by the Pennsylvania State University and serves its college campus.
The two individuals in the airplane died as a result of the crash and were pronounced dead at the scene by the Centre County Coroner Scott Sayers.
The light aircraft was traveling from Washington County Airport in Washington, Pennsylvania to the University Park Airport when it crashed in a heavily wooded area on property that is owned by Penn State, according to the university’s website.
As the airplane approached the runway, radio contact between the tower and the pilot went unanswered before the airplane crashed about one mile east of the airport. The plane crash comes just a few days after another airplane crash-landed at the airport.According to FAA records, the airplane belongs to Aero National Inc., an air ambulance company that has served the medical community since 1969, according to its website. It seems that the airplane makes a monthly journey between Washington and University park according to the Centre Daily, a local newspaper.
National Transportation Safety Board officials from Ashburn, Virginia, are investigating the cause of the crash in conjunction with the Federal Aviation Administration from Harrisburg Pennsylvania.
The aviation accident lawyers at Bohrer & Lukeman are following the developments regarding the University Park crash and the firm’s general aviation attorneys will review the circumstances surrounding the crash.
Bohrer & Lukeman is a airplane crash law firm with years of experience representing those that have been injured or killed in general aviation and commercial airline accidents. The law firm will closely follow the official investigation of the crash and update its website with new information and updates regarding the NTSB report. | aerospace |

They may still identify the unit but the people totally unaware may have a very agile pulse accelerating curio as to what the gadget is and just how does it work. We will tell you about Drones!
An Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) also called as drones reviews is really a battery-powered gadget which was created to fly by way of a remote controller. The unit can hover; flight high and far depending on the limitations of your range. Also a drone can do clicking pictures, generating mesmerizing aerial videos and a lot more!
Military personnel named them as UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) or RPAS (subsets of Unmanned Aircraft Systems) i.e. Remotely Piloted Aerial Systems. Though they can be primarily used in military services, still the emergence of drones for recreational and commercial purposes is really a landmark. They may have successfully presented themselves as being a utility device which might be useful for various agendas.
Drone-producing companies have Parrot, DJI and similar ones on the top who happen to be all devoted to manufacture these robotic toys lasting in vast variety of pricing categories. The values may differ from some amount of money to a large number of dollar depending on your option. However it is recommended to become a pro on the budgeted one before investing grand bucks.
The inchoation of Professional Drone Photography began during the early 1900s and was originally planned being confined to military usage and none others. Later, an agency named CIA initiated the usage in 2002 during the military operation held somewhere in Afghanistan.
Nevertheless the circumscriptions somehow widened after some time and the acceptance stretched to commercial and in many cases recreational concepts.
The Four-rotor design to these quad copters enhances its reliability. As of 2012, USAF has put to employ a quantity of 7494 UAVs. Also 50 countries on earth are considered to be active drone users. The commercial use of the drones marks USA as the leading enthusiast. There have been certain development measures and countermeasures incorporated by FAA for the usage of drones in commercial aspects.
The progressive decline of manufacturing price of the drones has allowed the makers to decrease the prices making it reasonable priced for the users.
Henceforth, drones have likewise fascinated media and news houses to use them for optimum purposes.
UAVs will be the brand-new trend-setters that tend to administer the techno-era through the elimination of complexities. Despite of the regulations as prescribed by FAA, the statistics of your drone registration using hobbyists have agreeably increased. In reality, the hobbyists, commercial users have popularized it to the extent where all ages like the deed of purchasing one, nurturing their passion of aerial photography and experiencing the pleasing experience with flying drones. | aerospace |

A section of the wing detached and became loose before the plane turned back to the airport.
Passengers said they heard a loud bang and saw a part of the wing hanging on.
Journalist Cole Moreton said: "On take-off there was a strange noise then a bang and six-foot plus section of the left wing that looked like suddenly came loose and hung down, flapping in the jetstream.
“It seemed hydraulic pistons had snapped as they were flapping too. Passengers were alarmed and told the cabin staff, who appeared to inform the captain."
The Avro RJ85 jet circled back on itself and landed at London City Airport before being met by emergency services on the runway, with all 61 passengers on board unharmed.
A CityJet spokesman said: "The WX 281 flight had just taken off from London City Airport on its way to Florence when the cover of the operating mechanism on the wing became partially detached.
"The crew followed their standard procedures and, after a discussion with CityJet Maintenance Control, decided to return to London City Airport.
"Air Traffic Control were notified and the aircraft returned making a normal approach and landing. Passengers are being re-directed on another aircraft and will depart with a two hour delay." | aerospace |

I had to ring up for a booking date and time. So here I was in the centre, greeted at the door and brought into a room upstairs to get briefed about the aircraft they use for the simulation. A Boeing 737-800NG. I was shown a large sheet on a wall showing me the controls and dashboard and overhead elec. panels of the 737. Very important as I am now going to go into the aircraft downstairs. My first tutor accompanies me and I'm introduced to my flight instructor for my time in the Boeing.
This simulator is a cut down 737 as far as the front galley area with a large screen in front of the nose. It is exactly what a 737NG should be in the cockpit area.
I was given further info about the instruments and what the flight was going to be that day. My time in the Sim was to be 1 hour so a quick learning curve. I did a take off from Shannon runway 24, climbed and then we did go arounds and several landings with different parameters ending in a very low cloud landing with decisions to land based on what I could see of the runway, made by me with sweaty palms. I found the whole experience fascinating and pretty exact from what I know about flying. This simulator is as near to an airline one as you can get but it cant compare to a multimillion dollar/euro professional one so you cant get the full professional feel with correct noise, movement and landing jolting etc. For the cost of my day in it, thanks to my boys, I thought it was well worth it, if only for the entertainment value and the education given to me which was invaluable. My instructor was brilliant.
After I finished my wife and I went for a walk around the center as there were loads of exhibits like engines and aircraft. We stayed around enjoying the whole centre in the company of a guy called Sean who was fascinating to listen to as he had been working in aviation in Shannon. He was very educational and entertaining and we learned a lot about aircraft and airports. Time went on and we ended up being there for nearly 3 hours just looking around and talking and hanging out with the staff. They're are all good fun and in the end my wife and I had a great time in Atlantic Airventure. We had now to return home to Dublin but I had memories of that special day, for me and also my wife in Shannon Town near EINN.

They need a high accuracy load cell with excellent repeatability to withstand thrust forces in very harsh environments.
From ignition to burn-out, Interface’s 1000 High Capacity Fatigue-Rated LowProfile™ Load Cell is ideally suited based on their performance for this application. The load cell reacts to the thrust forces produced by the jet engine and the signals are collected and recorded to create a “thrust curve” of the engine.
The performance of an Interface LowProfile™ Load Cell allows engineers to be confident in the data acquired from the static testing. Additionally, the repeatability of the load cell results in reduced time between tests, making static jet engine thrust testing more efficient. | aerospace |

It is fascinating to watch, and interesting to play. It's a simulation of controlling a section of air space.
The planes are shown with a market and their call-signs on a simulated radar screen which overlays a map of the area. Beacons and air lanes, and a danger area are also shown. You must give each plane it's own air space, at a height and speed such that no collisions occur, and then hand it on to the next sector.
Military aircraft which are not under your control cross your sector as do slow moving twin prop aircraft. You must ensure adequate separation, even when a 737 depressurises and has to drop in height.
Much more information such as destination and aircraft type is also given, so that even on level one your interest is held. Level nine is so crowded that not even a real controller could cope.
The package has a keyboard overlay and a manual which must be studied.

The Planetary Defense Coordination Office out of NASA is using Docker’s platform to support a critical mission that could potentially affect everyone on the planet! The office is responsible for tracking near-earth asteroids, characterizing them and determining how to deflect them if one were to find its way to earth.
DART, led by the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory by way of NASA, is the Double Asteroid Redirection Test. The team has chosen a potentially hazardous asteroid to hit in order to measure the impact and determine how effective this type of mission would be.
Developing the software for this mission is no easy feat, because space is hard! The team has one shot to make this mission work, there’s no rebooting in space. Space physics constraints lead to very low bandwidth, and low density memory due to the turbulent effects of radiation. So what did the software team want to solve for using Docker? Hardware scarcity. The development systems used in this project are very expensive ($300K), so not every developer is going to get their own system. This led to a time constraint, with a team of 30 developers sharing 5 systems, slowing down the rate of production.
In order to achieve hardware emulation, so that developers could work on their own laptops but test on the real hardware- the team developed a cool hack. Utilizing an X-11 server and VNC server inside a container, the team was able to access the GUI from any outside container that they wanted, while adhering to their security constraints.
The team deployed a four-service stack development environment consisting of individual components for flight software, testbed software, COSMOS open-source GUI ground system written in Ruby, and the Docker environment. Utilizing the container networking model, the flight software container connects to the testbed container. The testbed container connects to the COSMOS container and acts as the radio, finally the COSMOS container is connected to the VNC container and provides the GUI by way of Openbox. This completes the hardware emulation and allows the developers to work on their own machines, saving months of development time and resources.

Unmanned aerial vehicles are to be gradually integrated into the European aviation system. In addition to the aircraft, a Remote Pilot Station (RPS) is one of the core components of such Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS). For safe flight operations, the RPS must ensure effective and efficient cooperation between human and machine. In particular, the RPS must be designed in a way that the situation awareness of the remote pilot is guaranteed at all times.
For this purpose the ZHAW Centre for Aviation is developing a RPS prototype with a large-format panoramic screen. The screen has a 4K Ultra High Definition (UHD) resolution and a diagonal of 140 centimetres.
In manned aviation, cockpit displays with Synthetic Vision (SV) or Enhanced Vision (SV) are common these days. The visual representation reduces the cognitive workload, since it makes the mental integration of one- and two-dimensional information largely superfluous. It thus effectively prevents a loss of spatial situational awareness.
Based on such cockpit displays, three-original display formats were defined and implemented for the panoramic screen of the RPS: Perspective Situation Display (PSD), Horizontal Situation Display (HSD) and System Situation Display (SSD). The sensor view of the on-board camera forms a fourth display which complements the synthetic view in PSD and HSD.
The Perspective Situation Display (PSD) provides the drone pilot with a synthetic view that differs significantly from a corresponding cockpit display.

This was the first time they had seen Michael’s self-built plane fully built.
Geenee and Michael flew 970 miles from Lake Havasu City, Ariz. to Victoria in his Cozy Mark IV.
Although the flight took 6.5 hours with a 30 minute stop in Pecos, it was a trip 21 years in the making.
Michael purchased the plans to build the plane in 1998. Two years later, he started to build it while his wife was attending cosmetology school in the evenings.
He purchased the plans before getting his pilot’s license.
“I was totally committed right up front,” Michael said. “I finally finished the airplane in 2017, so it took 17 years to complete.”
Michael first became interested in building a plane in 1994 when he attended an Experimental Aircraft Association event in Phoenix.
“I saw an airfield full of planes and people were just walking in,” Michael said. “They looked like they had been dipped in nail polish and set out. I was mesmerized by this airplane I had never seen before.”
Michael saw Nathan Puffer, the designer of the Cozy Mark IV, at this event. “I never got it out of my head,” Michael said.
Two years later, he joined a group online at cozybuilders.org and later traveled to Puffer’s home to purchase the plans in 1998.
His father had seen the plane in the construction mode, including seeing it in its early stages in a spare bedroom of his son’s home in Golden, Colo.
“He took me into his bedroom and showed me what he was building,” Arthur said. “So I saw the very first component.”
Michael spent more than 3,000 hours building his plane.
“You have to force yourself to get going because all you see is materials on the shelf,” Michael said. “You buy batches and bulks of raw materials like rolls of fiberglass, buckets of epoxy and blocks of foam and you start shaping something into an airplane following the plans.”
Along the way, Arthur was visiting Colorado when Michael and his son, JR Roe, were working on the Cozy Mark IV’s wings.
“They take this hot wire and cut the shape out of the wing. It was so neat watching those guys shape that wing,” Arthur said.
Arthur and Michael’s mutual love for aviation began long before the Cozy Mark IV.
They were both helicopter mechanics in the National Guard. They also learned to fly at the same aviation field in Colorado, now called Centennial Airport.
Arthur was a private pilot and would take his son flying as a child.
Michael shared one specific memory he had while his father was in flight training. When Michael was 8 years old, he was in a building full of airplanes.
“I’d get in every one of those Cessnas,” Michael said. “I’m touching all the switches and ‘flying’ those planes while he was doing his night flying.”
After a weekend of visiting with friends and family, Michael and Geenee prepared to fly home to Lake Havasu, Ariz.
His father offered one parting request.
“Next I want to see it with a paint job,” Arthur said. | aerospace |

Boeing has revealed a conceptual sketch for a hypersonic passenger plane capable of traveling at speeds of up to Mach 5.
Highlighted 15 years after the iconic Concorde made its final supersonic passenger flight, Boeing's concept aims to fly much faster with a theoretical trip from New York to Tokyo in just two hours.
"Boeing is building upon a foundation of six decades of work designing, developing and flying experimental hypersonic vehicles, which makes us the right company to lead the effort in bringing this technology to market in the future," says Boeing's chief scientist of hypersonics, Kevin Bowcutt.
The aircraft would use a traditional turbofan engine to take off and reach a certain speed where the intake air is routed to an afterburner ramjet capable of hypersonic flight. It will only be able to reach Mach 5 in the thin air of extremely high altitude around 95,000 feet, where passengers will be able to see the curvature of the earth.
The company still has many engineering challenges to work through, expecting the first flight to be at least 20-30 years into the future. | aerospace |

Dassault tomorrow will deliver its 75th Falcon 7X during a ceremony at the European Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition (EBACE) in Geneva, Switzerland. The 5,950 nautical mile tri-jet is now operating in 24 different countries and has logged over 30,000 flight hours and 15,000 takeoffs and landings. The 7X was jointly certified by the FAA and EASA in April, 2007, and has since received type certification from 14 countries with orders being received in 42 countries.
"The rapid accumulation of flight hours by our Falcon 7X fleet is a testament to its reliability," said John Rosanvallon, President and CEO of Dassault Falcon. "No other aircraft offers the same efficiency, range of performance or technological advancements as those available in our flagship aircraft." The Falcon 7X is powered by three Pratt and Whitney Canada PW307A engines that help make the Falcon 7X category leader with both fuel efficiency and airport performance.
The backlog of the Falcon 7X now stands at 120 aircraft. "Given the events in our industry over the past eighteen months, having such a strong backlog is proof of the aircraft's versatility and the recognition in the marketplace that the Falcon 7X is a true industry leader," continued Rosanvallon.
Upcoming Falcon 7X Enhancements
The 7X is set to receive a new round of enhancements with the release of five Service Bulletins. Among the modifications is the "Load 10" update to the EASy flight deck. Load 10 includes TOLD (Takeoff and Landing Data), which provides automatic computation of engine ratings and key speeds (V1, VR, V2) as well as landing distances, field length and other related data.
Provided in Load 10 is Windshear Escape Guidance, which gives direction to pilots to minimize altitude loss while maintaining a safe stall margin. Another new feature, Runway Awareness and Advisory System (RAAS), provides aural alerts during approaches, landing and ground operations to help increase situational awareness.
Updates to the Digital Flight Control System Flight (DFCS) will also streamline the aircraft initialization procedures.
Additionally, certification of the Falcon 7X Enhanced Flight Vision System (EFVS) is expected in the middle of 2010. The EFVS increases situational awareness in difficult weather conditions and provides an operational benefit to properly trained crews which will allow approaches to be flown with a decision height as low as 100 feet above ground level.
"This newest update of the avionics and flight deck of the 7X brings an enhanced level of reliability, performance and safety to what is the most advanced business jet in the world," said Rosanvallon.
The Falcon 7X has the longest range of any Falcon business jet. Since its entry into service in 2007, the 7X cabin has set a new standard for business jets praised by its passengers for its "library quiet" cabin which is the result of breakthroughs in design, materials and cushioned engine mounts. Special attention was given to enhancing its cabin comfort for flights lasting up to 13 hours. The large and bright cabin with 28 windows which are 10% bigger than previous Falcons. It also features a low in flight cabin altitude of 6,000 feet, even while flying at 51,000 feet, and an advanced temperature control system that maintains the environment to within one degree throughout the entire cabin.

Be it on land or above it; be it on water or under its surface; since ancient times man has tried to conquer whatever part of the earth that he could reach, or has at least tried to. This has led to many conflicts between two or more agencies. Be it air, land or sea, the airforce, armies and navies of nations have seen combat some time or the other.
As of 2022 no actual warfare has ever taken place in space, though a number of tests and demonstrations have been performed. This has caused leaders around the world to examine and enhance their combat capabilities in this new battle field called “Space”.
Space warfare is combat that takes place in outer space. The scope of space warfare therefore includes ground-to-space warfare, such as attacking satellites from the Earth; space-to-space warfare, such as satellites attacking satellites; and space-to-ground warfare, such as satellites attacking Earth-based targets.
While it may not be an arms race, the impetus to forge a space strategy is the result of the domain becoming an ever more contested environment and of its importance for deterrence, and, if this fails, war fighting. Not only is it recapitalising its military space infrastructure, ground based and orbital, it is also acquiring the means to protect them.
Months before the operationalisation of the Defence Space Agency, India conducted an Anti-satellite weapon (ASAT) test in March 2019. The test was aimed at demonstrating India’s anti-satellite capability.
The Indian ASAT programme can be traced back to its Ballistic Missiles Development program, which began in 1999 in response to threats posed by the Ballistic missiles of Pakistan and China. In 2006 and 2007, India tested its first exo-atmospheric interceptor and has developed many interceptors since then. On 18 March 2008, DRDO had hinted that India possessed technology required for an ASAT missile. India had begun work on its ASAT soon after the 2007 Chinese anti-satellite missile test.
India has been working on directed energy ASAT weapons, co-orbital ASAT weapons, lasers and electromagnetic pulse (EMP) based ASAT weapons. The ability to protect space assets from hostile electronic and physical attacks is also being developed by India.
India is developing the necessary technology that could be combined to produce a weapon to destroy enemy satellites in orbit. In March 2019, India tested its ASAT missile (Mission Shakti) destroying a pre-determined target of a live satellite.The DRDO’s ballistic missile defence interceptor was used on an Indian satellite for this test.
India conducted its first simulated space warfare exercise on 25th and 26 July 2019, called IndSpaceEx. The exercise was conducted under the supervision of Integrated Defence Staff. The exercise was aimed at obtaining an assessment of threats and the creation of a joint space warfare doctrine.
The role of the DSA will be operate systems to protect Indian interests in outer space and will deal with potential space wars. The agency will have the responsibility of developing a space warfare strategy and work in close collaboration with Defence Space Research Agency.
The Defence Space Research Agency (DSRA) is the scientific organisation responsible for developing space-warfare systems and technologies for the Defence Space Agency. The DSRA was approved by the Indian government in June 2019. The DSRA is composed of scientists who undertake research and development in close coordination with the Integrated Defence Staff.
The DSA is headquartered in Bengaluru. It’s function under the Integrated Defence Staff and personnel from all the three branches of the Indian Armed Forces will be stationed in the agency.
As is with other nations, the DSA is an extension of the Indian Air Force and comprise of agencies which would deal with the development and operation of various equipments like satellites, radars, missiles, lasers and other weapons. The components of the Indian Army and Indian Navy are present for coordination and synergy between the three forces.
Keeping the role and requirement of the DSA, its organisation is suggested to be based on the undermentioned points:-
Akin to the three defence services of India, the DSA has the primary role to deter, thwart or end any attempt by an aggressor on the territorial sovereignty of the nation.
The suggested charter of duties of the DSA are as under:-
Unlike other major space powers such as the United States, Russia and China, whose space programs have clear military origins, India’s space program, on the other hand, began as a civilian project. Hence, the country has little experience in the military dimensions of space organizations. Because of this reason, India’s Defence Space Agency faces two major challenges in terms of capacity-building.
Operating in space will be unlike operating in any other domain, involving three dimensions, spanning across the globe with no territorial borders. While sace warfare can be conceptualized as using offensive capabilities in space against other space-based weapons, it is also intrinsically linked engaging in combat on the ground, making it vital for armed forces on the ground to be interoperable with the space force, creating a new dimension of cross-domain interaction in a conflict situation.
Because of this reason, simply having a doctrine focusing on space-to-space engagement or ground-support engagement will not be enough to meet India’s strategic interests. The DSA and DSRO must approach the space doctrine with the view of interoperability with the Army, Navy and Air Force. In 2017, the Integrated Defence Staff published the first joint doctrine. This publication, however, created further doubts about the jointness among the three services. Inadequate integratedness has remained a roadblock for India’s military modernization.
In order to remain relevant in today’s informationized domains, and be fully integrated into India’s defence force structure, the DSA must lead the way in devising a new doctrine that fully integrates the three services of the armed forces, while at the same time having a long-term vision of India’s interests in space. Such a doctrine will remain the backbone of India’s military space operations in the coming years.
Currently, India possesses more than a dozen military satellites.The Indian military also uses a variety of commercial satellites and those run by friendly foreign nations in its operations.Many of these are prohibitively expensive and carry the danger of service interruption in the event of emergencies.
It is crucial to aggressively improve defence space capabilities as part of the “militarization of space” as India works to reduce defence spending and achieve self-reliance in the field. This includes launching more satellites into orbit, acquiring better sensors, high-speed communication, and practical and reusable ones, along with connected infrastructure.Additionally, India must purchase sophisticated jammers for rogue satellites and safeguard its spacecraft from electronic assaults.
The country is working to increase its military capabilities in the space domain to assert itself as a potent regional power in the future while pursuing its goal of becoming a global power. This is because India concentrates on cutting military spending, establishing self-reliance in defence, and developing deterrence against China’s growing space assets.
However, the investments—whether financial or policy reforms—must be made because space is a high-expenditure industry, meaning that any returns would be gradual, incremental, and steady.
The race for space supremacy has already begun with many nations launching ground based weapons to destroy targets in space. There is no confirmed information on deployment of weapons in space however it is a surety that all major countries are developing fighting capabilities in outer space.
The “weaponisation” of space in not too far in future with countries like USA, Russia, China, Israel, France, Japan and India working on various overt and covert projects. Therefore, the need of the hour is to first define the role and charter of the Defence Space Agency of India and allocate and provide resources to fulfil them. Be it a deterrence or a major weapon, space warfare will soon influence all military matters and we will have to be ready for it.
The move towards creating a dedicated military space agency is indeed a right one, as the United States, Russia, China and more recently, France have expressed the necessity to protect their assets and interests in space, and expand as the next arena for geopolitical competition.
In such an environment, the DSA and DSRO will certainly face both technical as well as bureaucratic challenges. However, these challenges must be thought through at the earliest by politicians, bureaucrats, members of the armed services as well as academics in order to remain competitive and relevant in the future. | aerospace |

BSc, Planetary Science, University College London, 1994-1997
My main research interest is in using astronomy as a tool to better understand the planets, in particular as a way of supporting current space missions. My own research centres on the investigation of the infrared aurora of the gas giants using both ground and space based observations.
Ground based high-resolution spectroscopy
Using high resolution spectroscopy, I investigate the ion wind structure within the auroral regions of Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus. These ion winds are driven by currents connected to the solar wind and so detecting and characterising the way ions move in the ionosphere can give direct insight into the magnetospheric processes which produce them. High resolution spectroscopy is also useful in detecting weak auroral emission, useful in characterising weaker secondary emission.
Ground based imaging
Using the same observing technique as high-resolution spectroscopy, it is possible to convert spectrometers into very narrow bandwidth imagers (narrow in both the image size and the wavelength resolution). While this is usually of limited use, in the study of planetary aurorae, it provides an excellent tool for picking up weak emission. This technique, for instance, made the first-ever observations of Saturn’s infrared aurora. In addition, I am also involved with ultraviolet observations of Jupiter and Saturn using the Hubble Space Telescope.
Cassini support observations
An important part of the observations we make is in order to support ongoing space missions, by providing a ground-truth to the in-situ measurements. Currently, I hold a long-term observing status at NASA’s InfraRed Telescope Facility, allowing me to make repeated observations of Saturn’s aurora in order to produce new science and to improve the scientific returns from the Cassini mission itself.
The Cassini-VIMS instrument is an infrared multiband imager. I am a founding member and lead researcher in the UK MAG-VIMS collaboration team, who have unique access to cooperate with the VIMS team, reducing and analysing observations of Saturn’s infrared aurora.

The Programme was launched by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, and His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, as part of the UAE National Space Programme. It aims to train and prepare a team of four Emiratis to be sent to space for various scientific missions.
The medical examinations will last for three weeks and will take place at the Russian State Organisation ‘Gagarin Research and Test Cosmonaut Training Centre’ and Institute of Biomedical Problems, IBMP, the State Scientific Centre of the Russian Federation. These examinations will help UAE name the first Emirati Astronauts Corps, who will receive training to perform different space missions in the next few years. Two of the four Emirati astronauts will be selected; an astronaut and his back-up will start training in August 2018 for a flight to the International Space Station in April 2019.
These intensive examinations include conducting an ultrasound of the thyroid gland, kidneys, and small pelvis, respiratory function, fiber colonscopy, ECG and 24 hour monitoring of the blood pressure, tonal audiometry, CT of the paranasal sinuses of the nose, entering the pressure chamber, examination by a centrifuge machine and the vestibular apparatus among others. The examinations are extensive and are specific to space missions, to test the astronauts’ level of endurance and prepare them for space surroundings.
Yousuf Al Shaibani, Director General of the MBRSC, said, “We believe that these examinations will not only support the selection process but will also earn the candidates a deep understanding about space mission preparations and conditions. We look forward to receiving detailed evaluation of each candidate to support the selection process of the first Emirati Astronauts Corps.”
The UAE Astronaut Programme is funded by the ICT fund of the Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA). Launched in 2007, this fund, which is the first of its kind in the Arab world, aims towards supporting research and development within the ICT sector in the UAE, helping it to grow into a nationally significant industry with a leading place in the world. | aerospace |

A simulated ballistic missile in the boost phase of flight was intercepted in a test conducted at the White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico Dec. 3. After a troubled test in September, a Network Centric Airborne Defense Element (NCADE) seeker — mounted on an AIM-9X Sidewinder airframe — destroyed a target sounding rocket in boost phase for the first time. The test is noteworthy not only for success, but for the established systems NCADE leverages. Boost-Phase Intercept Ballistic missile defense (BMD) is divided into three basic phases of intercept: boost, midcourse and terminal. Before NCADE, technologies to intercept ballistic missiles in the boost phase of flight were slow to mature — a phenomenon with roots in both historical and technological issues. Boost-phase intercept requires relatively close access to territory or airspace adjacent to missile launch sites (compared to midcourse- or terminal-phase intercepts, which must be further back). The current BMD renaissance has its roots in the Reagan-era "Star Wars" program, which sought to create a national missile defense shield tailored specifically to Soviet intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs). At that time, reliable access to territory appropriate for boost-phase intercepts of ICBMs deep inside the Soviet Union was not realistic. (click to enlarge) On the technological side, boost phase requires the fastest reaction time, since a missile is only in the boost phase for a few minutes. The ballistic path in this phase is also characterized by a more uneven flight, due to the shifts in acceleration when a stage burns out and separates and the next stage ignites. This also requires a more discerning seeker, as there can be times during boost phase when a discarded stage and the missile are both in the seeker's field of vision. But, for all its difficulty, boost-phase intercept has several attractive aspects. Despite the unevenness of acceleration in the boost phase, this is the slowest phase of flight, as the missile travels against gravity rather than with it, as it does later in flight. Also, the missile has the largest radar cross-section during boost phase, and the large early stages are not only much easier to track, they are also full of generally very explosive propellants. Furthermore, fragments and debris from a missile destroyed in boost phase will not pepper the target area as they do in terminal-phase intercepts. Current Technologies Some of the problems boost-phase intercepts used to face have been solved by the inexorable progress in microprocessor speeds, price, size and durability. In other words, seeker heads or guidance systems have gained more computational capacity due to the rapid improvement in computer technology in the last few decades. That capacity can be leveraged to more quickly plot intercepts and deal with some of the complications of boost-phase intercept. Thus far, two major programs have been the focal point of U.S. investment in boost-phase technology: the Airborne Laser (ABL) and the Kinetic Energy Interceptor (KEI). The ABL program is working to mount a weaponized megawatt-class laser inside a Boeing 747 freighter airframe. If successfully developed, the ABL will be able to patrol off the coast of nations like North Korea and quickly engage multiple missiles as they are launched. However, the ABL program dates back to the Reagan era and requires developing a revolutionary new technology — almost never an easy, simple or cheap task (simply cramming the laser inside an airplane is a major accomplishment). The KEI program is similarly ambitious. Though not as revolutionary in nature, KEI is really a follow-on technology, a generation more advanced than the more rudimentary ground-based midcourse defense interceptors currently stationed in Alaska and California. The program seeks to build a mobile missile capable of intercepts in the boost, ascent and midcourse phases — a broad spectrum of engagement criteria requiring a responsive and flexible system. NCADE This is where NCADE, now in its second year, comes in. The successful Dec. 3 test was admittedly a rudimentary "second-try" test. It is also too early to say just how successful NCADE will prove, and its engagement envelope may be limited to short- and medium-range ballistic missiles. NCADE also has a competitor in a Lockheed-Martin program to launch a modified Patriot Advanced Capability 3 (PAC-3) interceptor from aircraft. But ultimately, NCADE seeks to mount the seeker tested Dec. 3 (on the AIM-9X) on the longer-range Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missile (AMRAAM), along with a second stage. The second stage will roughly double the AMRAAM's range, extending it out to 100 miles (giving the aircraft some stand-off distance). The AMRAAM is a well-established and proven missile (albeit in a different mission profile). It has already seen successful adaptation to a variety of ground-based modifications. The AMRAAM is also compatible with not only most U.S. fighter aircraft, but many foreign — notably Israeli and Japanese — fighters as well. Integration work would of course be necessary, but the commonality could make a mature NCADE as readily deployable as the PAC-3 system has already proven to be. In other words, the phase of BMD intercept that has long languished behind the others in terms of progress saw a promising development Dec. 3. If it proves successful, it will offer a near-term and comparatively cheap technology that could be distributed to and deployed around the world — and even (given its size) potentially mounted on unmanned aerial vehicles like a modified Predator-B. Such a development would be a major step forward in the BMD field. The NCADE system is not constrained by fixed concrete silos in Alaska, California or Poland. It does not even require the deployment of a BMD-capable destroyer or cruiser equipped with Standard Missile-3 interceptors (of which the U.S. Navy hopes to have 18 outfitted by 2010). A successful NCADE program translates into a major step forward for BMD, making it easier to hit more missiles sooner in more places around the world — especially places like Iran and North Korea, whose periphery is easily accessible to U.S. aircraft. | aerospace |

With Nancy Graham (Director Air Navigation Bureau, International Civil Aviation Organization)
By Lucia Pasquini on 10 December 2010
Nancy Graham is the Director of the Air Navigation Bureau of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), the United Nations specialised agency whose mandate is to establish and revise international standards for safe, secure and sustainable development of civil aviation.
In her current position, which she took up in April 2007, Ms Graham oversees much of the work undertaken in the development of ICAO’s technical Standards and Recommended Practices (SARPs), which are critical to the safety of the international air transport infrastructure.
ICAO has three CNS programmes which have been given high-priority status by the Council of ICAO and are based on the ICAO concept of operations.
- outline the State infrastructure and aircraft equipage elements necessary for a seamless sky in tomorrow’s aviation system, on the basis of operational needs;
- ensure adequate frequency spectrum allocation to support existing and planned operational capabilities for civil aviation;
- maintain and develop performance-based standards, recommended practices and guidance material for current and emerging technologies in CNS.
Each of these initiatives has a range of supporting projects delivered by the voluntary workforce (e.g. panels, study groups and task forces organised through the Air Navigation Bureau) provided to ICAO by Contracting States and international organisations.
ICAO has a four-step plan to deliver global interoperability, and each step brings regional authorities into the development and decision-making elements of ICAO’s programme.
Step one was to bring the standardmaking bodies together to form a Standards Organisation Round Table. EUROCAE, EUROCONTROL, the SESAR Joint Undertaking, EASA and the European Commission are all members of this Round Table, and actively participate in establishing the working agreements with standards organisations on which work programmes
Step two is to define global system upgrades for interoperability purposes that are independent of when and where specific ATM improvement progammes are introduced.
Step three requires access to the right information. As part of this, ICAO will be hosting a Integrated Systems Symposium which will give our industry a critical voice in deliberations, and again our European partners will be playing a significant role in reviewing the individual Regional Plans (Next- Gen and SESAR in this case), developing the gap analysis, and, in the near future, agreeing on common areas for block upgrades, which will need to include the operational improvement intended, the technology required (on the ground and in the air), the procedures for all of the components (operational and technological), the regulatory approval plan, and the business case and/or mandate plan (if required) to achieve results in terms of infrastructure standards and requirements.
Finally, step four will be to deliver a new Global Air Navigation Plan at the 12th Air Navigation Conference in November 2012, presenting three specific planning elements for tomorrow’s aviation system:
- a series of operational improvements (block upgrades) and identification identification of the work programmes and implementation efforts required for their implementation;
- an Avionics Roadmap oriented around the block upgrades eventually agreed upon, and an ATC Communication Plan;
- an electronic regional Air Navigation Planning facility providing transparent, real-time regional planning capability.
There are three areas of engagement in which the contribution of organisations such as EUROCONTROL and the FAA is essential to the desired global interoperability outcomes. These areas are information, expertise and funding. Information is required so that global developments are synchronised with regional developments, particularly where those regional developments are leading world practices.
Expertise in the form of panel membership, standard-making body support and the meeting of engagements in terms of hardware and procedures design; and expertise for educational purposes, for workshops and symposia through which we can bring some of the identified best practices to the rest of our global system at a reasonable cost.
The last area is financial support. ICAO does not receive sufficient budget from Contracting States to resource all of the projects which are needed to achieve all of our global interoperability targets. The 37th General Assembly has just approved a Voluntary Safety (SAFE) Fund, through which donors can provide resources in terms of funding or expertise tied to a particular project, and we see this as an ideal mechanism allowing EUROCONTROL and the FAA to ring-fence funding for projects which are of particular relevance to their needs but which also have an application in terms of global interoperability.
There has been a strategic change in ICAO’s approach since the start of my tenure here at the Air Navigation Bureau. I am transitioning all of our CNS requirements from a model founded on technology-based capability to one predicated on outcome-based performance needs. It will take time and we are concentrating on future needs for the moment, but, following the 12th Air Navigation Conference, I will be looking to reverse-engineer all of our current Annex 10 Standards to fit the new model.
This is driven by my belief that future CNS infrastructure needs are evolving from a technological capability model to an operational requirement model catering for the huge variety of operations in our global system. We don’t want to be the roadblock obstructing any proposed international civil operation bringing safety and/or efficiency benefits.
As ICAO moves forward with a performance-based approach, it will be looking to the standard-making bodies to agree on technical specifications and standards allowing systems to be designed, implemented and maintained in compliance with the stated level of air navigation system performance.
In terms of CNS infrastructure, we have a number of significant challenges to meet over the next couple of years.
Our immediate concern is to obtain agreement on the first of the block upgrades which will support the aviation community for the future, and to ensure that there is a business case to support them.
The early block upgrades are probably ready to identify themselves, and in many cases there is plenty of evidence to support the business case for industry. As we look further ahead into the various ATM improvement programmes, however, the individual elements which should be brought together to form block upgrades are less clear, and in some cases we are still missing the results of operational trials, which we need in order to substantiate the packages.
Agreement on an ATC Communication Plan for the future will also present us with a real challenge. Both the navigation and the surveillance elements have largely been identified, and a global consensus is achievable, but we still have much work ahead of us to reach agreement on an ATC Communication Plan, so this will be one of the primary work efforts leading up to the 12th Air Navigation Conference.
Finally, the frequency spectrum ranges which we keep protected for aviation safety purposes are under continuous threat from more lucrative uses. ICAO has a policy and a plan leading up to WRC-12, and we have already begun working on strategies for ICAO’s position leading up to WRC-15. There is a need to find spectrum for remotely piloted aircraft and future innovations, to make more efficient use of the spectrum we currently have allocated to us, and to have a strategic plan for the release of spectrum as we phase out some of the older technology.
First, to provide some background, ICAO has been working to create the mechanisms to achieve an integrated global ATM system through the implementation of air navigation systems in a progressive, cost-effective and cooperative manner.
As the formulation of performance-based regional, sub-regional, national, industry and user plans for air navigation systems gains maturity, ICAO continues to address the challenge of the integration, interoperability and harmonisation of the systems leading to the concept of One Sky. The notion of the One Sky concept would be conceived globally, the plans would be developed regionally and the infrastructure would be implemented locally.
The One Sky initiative, while enabling ATM to cope with future air transport demand, would also support the restructuring of airspace and the provision of air navigation facilities and services on the basis of traffic flows rather than national borders, the increase of overall capacity and efficiency, and the improvement of safety, while also contributing positively to the environment.
The One Sky high-level global architecture should enable the digital environment, integrate aerodromes (gate-to-gate strategies), facilitate trajectory-based ATM and support performance-based CNS systems.
Finally, the Conference will provide an opportunity to work together within and outside ICAO towards the establishment of a strategy for air navigation planning and implementation, based on the work accomplished over the past twenty years, during the twoyear build-up to the conference and during the follow-up.
It would provide the venue and impetus to set priorities, coalesce around major themes, obtain agreement from the global aviation community on a 10- year agenda for air navigation planning and implementation, organise and rationalise work programmes before and after the Conference and drive them towards finalisation, provide a stimulus to air navigation activity and implementation, and give States the legal framework for funding and developing work programmes and more. | aerospace |

They describe the challenge:
“We need to repair a robot but it is taking longer than expected. We would need a helicopter for an express delivery from Douvrin (Nord-Pas-de-Calais) to our client’s factory in the Pays de la Loire as quickly as possible. We normally dispatch an express taxi but, on this occasion, there is a distance of 450km (280mi) to cover via Paris. This would take at least 6 hours by road, which is far too long for our client.”
This is the type of situation that Air Time Critical® faces on a daily basis.
Is helicopter delivery faster than an express taxi?
In this particular case, the express helicopter delivery we offered our client actually halved the journey time from 6 to 3 hours!
Helicopter transport is an extremely efficient solution for emergency door-to-door deliveries of industrial equipment over 300 to 600km (180—380mi).
No traffic jams with helicopters!
Helicopter delivery is also great to avoid road congestion for trickier itineraries:
- large cities nearby
- rush hour traffic
- holiday periods
- various challenges such as civil commotion, flooding, snowfall, etc.
Why resort to helicopter transport for urgent maintenance operations?
When faced with urgent industrial maintenance situations where time is of the essence, helicopter chartering offers unbeatable delivery speed and reliability.
An added bonus is that the maintenance technician can also board the aircraft and install the spare parts on arrival! This little extra really does sway our clients when it comes to emergency corrective maintenance.
How to book a helicopter charter?
You can ring Air Time Critical® or contact us via the quote request form on our website. Ensure you have the following information readily available:
Helicopter transport checklist
- Weight and overall dimensions of the equipment or goods to transport
- Description of the goods to transport
- Shipment collection time
- Exact pickup and delivery addresses with distance to cover and expected road delivery times
- Landing on site possible? (if known)
That’s it! Your Air Time Critical® agent will then be able to advise and guide you towards the most suitable solution for your emergency situation. | aerospace |

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) releases updated plans for a Mars Mission seemingly every month. The agency seems obsessed with the Red Planet, though so far it has focused its manned space activities entirely on low-Earth orbit missions (at least since 19 December 1972). Well, NASA is at it again: it held a "Humans to Mars 2017" conference at George Washington University on 11 May 2017 to discuss such a mission. While it was a lengthy conference providing lots of good information, let's focus on the parts that provide a specific roadmap for a mission to Mars.
Before you even think about going to Mars, you need the political will to do so. That appears to be present at the moment. Bill S.442, named the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Transition Authorization Act of 2017, was co-sponsored by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL). It provides NASA with $19.5 billion worth of funding for the fiscal 2018 year (beginning in September 2017). The objective of this funding is to create the foundation for a manned mission to Mars in the 2030s and to:
extend human presence [in space], including potential human habitation on another celestial body and a thriving space economy in the 21st Century.President Trump signed the bill on 21 March 2017. All of this appears to point toward preparations for a Mars mission.
|NASA's Gregory J. Williams (NASA).|
Gregory J. Williams outlined the current thinking on Mars mission. He is the Deputy Associate Administrator for Policy and Plans in NASA's Human Exploration and Operations Mission Directorate. Now, a general rule of thumb in life it that, the longer the title, the less real authority someone has. However, Williams at least gave a concrete outline for the progression from low-Earth orbit to setting foot on Mars. The ideas for this proposed mission are so preliminary that it doesn't even have a name yet.
|Phases on the road to Mars (NASA).|
In a talk entitled "Defining NASA's Deep-Space Gateway and Transport Plan," Williams set forth four phases to get to Mars, with a preliminary phase currently in progress:
- Phase 1: Operating in the Lunar Vicinity
- Phase 2: Complete Deep Space Transport System
Right away, you can see that the actual "getting to Mars" part is murky and vague. However, NASA seems to be firming up ideas on Phases 0-2, with Phases 3-4 too far away to pin down yet.
|Scott Kelly has a twin brother, Mark, who provides a baseline of physical data to show how extended stays in low-Earth orbit affect the body (NASA).|
First things first. There are problems with any extended space travel that have to be addressed. It is well known that extended trips beyond low-Earth orbit are harmful to the human body (extended trips within low-Earth orbit also are harmful, but not nearly as much). For instance, astronaut Scott Kelly spent 340 consecutive days in space as part of his total 520 days in low-Earth orbit (he since has retired). Upon examining him, NASA doctors found eight key physical effects just from being in zero gravity:
- Body liquids spread out more evenly
- You lose bone density without vigorous exercise
- Fluid shifts from your legs to your head (2 liters)
- Your vision deteriorates due to pressure changes in the brain
- Muscles shrink extra tissue is absorbed
- Sleeping is difficult and astronauts average only 6 hours a night
- Your risk of getting cancer increases due to cosmic rays
- Your spine stretches and you grow 3% taller
And that is while still within the earth's protective magnetic field. Furthermore, there even are changes in your genetic blueprint and the immune system (diminished capacity to respond to health issues).
All right, so there are issues that remain to be resolved. A trip to Mars and back would take an estimated thousand days, and the overwhelming majority of that time would be outside a planetary magnetic field, in weightlessness, and exposed to cosmic rays that might give you cancer. The ravages to the human body would be extreme. Still, there undoubtedly are uncounted volunteers who would be willing to pay any price to be among the first humans to set foot on Mars. Besides, NASA will "take care of it" and "figure out a solution." You know how it is, and I hope they can. So, let's put the physiological problems aside and look at the mechanical progression.
|"European Space Agency astronaut Andre Kuipers, Expedition 30 flight engineer, prepares vials in the Columbus laboratory of the International Space Station for venous blood sample draws during an immune system investigation" (NASA).|
Phase 0, currently in progress, involves things like studying Kelly and the other astronauts to make progress on the physical issues of space travel. There will be research and systems testing on the International Space Station (ISS). This, of course, will continue in later stages, but at least some beginnings can be made on the process right now. Williams said that part of this phase is to “understand if and when lunar resources are available,” which hints at some kind of lunar landing at some point. If so, that undoubtedly would prolong the entire Mars mission.
|The SLS, according to an unofficial NASA briefing of 9 May 2017, may be ready for launch (EM-1) as soon as September 2017. The Agency's "commitment" date is a launch by November 2017. This would be the first flight of SLS and the second for Orion and will be unmanned (NASA).|
Phase 1 would entail operations in cislunar space (between the Earth and the Moon). This Phase would take place in the 2020s and include using the Space Launch System (SLS) to place equipment in orbit, assemble it, and then conduct at least five missions (manned and unmanned) in cislunar space. The parts of the Deep Space Transport itself would be among the items placed in orbit, as well as a habitat for crew members. This Phase would culminate in an extended mission - currently projected at a year and known informally as the "shakedown cruise" - by astronauts in cislunar space to try out the equipment. This shakedown cruise is tentatively scheduled for 2027. According to Williams:
If we could conduct a year-long crewed mission on this Deep Space Transport in cislunar space, we believe we will know enough that we could then send this thing, crewed, on a 1,000-day mission to the Mars system and back.This cislunar phase is the most critical of the entire project, because it will get the equipment into orbit and test the ability of humans to use it. Of course, a lot could go wrong during this phase - what if you go to enormous effort to get equipment into space and then, when testing it out, it doesn't meet your needs? Or, what if the astronauts develop radiation symptoms? This is the phase that could stretch out the entire program.
|Steps in Phase 1 (NASA).|
Phase 2 would see the completion of the Deep Space Transport. Now, the Deep Space Transport not only has not been built, it apparently has not even been designed yet. The concept envisions a reusable vehicle that uses electric and chemical propulsion for a voyage to Mars and other destinations. In any event, once completed in orbit, the Deep Space Transport would be sent, unmanned apparently, to orbit Mars. Williams says that details are "evolving," and this is the part where they are "evolving" the most. Assuming that Phase 1 goes according to plan and without disclosing any major problems, however, Phase 2 should be the easiest of the stages.
|Steps in Phases 2 and 3 (NASA).|
Phases 3 and 4 are simply outlines at the moment. Presumably, Phase 3 would involve manned orbits of Mars by the Deep Space Transport, much as Apollo 8 orbited the Moon during Christmas 1968 (and, to some, proved the highlight of the entire Apollo program, even exceeding the drama of the Apollo 11 Moon landing itself). There would be high drama in this mission, because it would be the true acid test on whether humans can make the trip and get back in some kind of healthy state. If Phase 1 is the most critical of the stages, Phase 3 would be the most dramatic in terms of the possible success or failure of a Mars landing during our lifetimes. If people can get to Mars orbit in one piece, getting down to the surface becomes a technical issue that engineers can work out using known technology (and perhaps borrow ideas from the Apollo program).
Phase 4 would be the Mars landing itself. If the other Phases have been completed successfully, this should be the easiest Phase of all - though of course it will capture the most media attention. Williams was careful to point out that NASA is not doing all of this alone:
We're trying to lead this journey to Mars with a broad range of partnerships. One of the things we'll be doing over the next few years is putting that package together.NASA's partners are expected to be SpaceX and Blue Origin. There has not been any hint of Russian, Chinese, or any other nation's involvement - this currently is "shaking down" as a purely American enterprise. | aerospace |

AN AIR show featuring the best of British aircraft, both vintage and modern, in an aerial spectacle will take place next Sunday (May 17)
Imperial War Museum (IWM) Duxford will launch its new air-show season with the Spring Air Show.
Nearly 20 famous British aircraft manufacturers will be represented, including Avro, de Havilland, Eurofighter, Hawker-Siddeley, Supermarine, Vickers and Westland.
Highlights of the show include participation by the Eurofighter Typhoon and the stunning Battle of Britain Memorial Flight featuring the Lancaster, Spitfire and Hurricane.
Celebrated British pilot Guy Westgate, eight times national glider aerobatic champion, will be demonstrating his aerobatic skills and Dennis Kenyon, former world helicopter freestyle champion, will be flying an Enstrom helicopter.
All three British Red Bull Air Race pilots will be displaying their skills.

My thoughts are split-
On one hand:
Cool video, hot girl, nice!
On the other:
Dang why couldn’t they take a brainy woman or a nerd!?
“So i depends on the Astronaut!? What is this exercise for? I am winded!”
It was nice to hear that the astronaut’s programs are built around squats and deadlifts, rather than isolation-based machine work. Not really a surprise that both lifts were found to do a great job combating atrophy and bone loss (I think most of us know that), but it good to find that even NASA endorses that approach.
Her squat wasn’t too(ooo) bad. I got a pleasant surprise, anyway. I think she was intentionally playing dumb so the viewers didn’t feel bad. Space isn’t just ‘no exercise on earth’ bad, it is much, much worse:
Weightlessness triggers the human body to excrete calcium and phosphorus (in urine and feces), resulting in rapid bone loss. In the time it takes to get to Mars and back, a crew member?s bone density loss will be equivalent to that of a lifetime on Earth. Like osteoporosis on Earth, bone loss in space can lead to fractures, weakness and painful urinary stones. The most dramatic changes occur in the heel bone, femoral neck, lumbar spine and pelvis. Exercise in space and upon return can help slow the loss, but it will take two years or more of dedicated, consistent training upon return to repair it. Artificial gravity would also serve to mitigate this problem is it is part of the mission design.
Recent research implies that gravity helps cells create patterns. In microgravity, the microtubules in developing cells might not organize the same way they would on Earth, even after the astronauts return. It is unknown how this will affect the Mars crew over the long term.

I was impressed with the machine, actually. Looks like they were aiming for something like a monolift rather than something like a smith machine.
But, silly me. Pretty girl. No, wait, pretty dumb girl. So… My brain has been given permission not to work. Graw.

We work with industry partners who have immense knowledge and expertise in their fields, but truly sealing our competitive advantage, is a proprietary patent-pending process we’ve developed that gives us the capability to bond the ultra-lightweight material we use for our designs. Ownership of this IP puts us in the unique position of being the only company capable of manufacturing a deceleration solution that is both large enough and strong enough to benefit commercial UAVs, and lightweight enough to be practical.
How do we do it? We can’t tell you (it’s patent-pending), but we look forward to showing you. And we can say our proprietary, ultra-high-strength materials bonding process (patent-pending) makes lighter-than-air vehicles and our unique unmanned vehicle recovery systems a reality. | aerospace |
