Last post the training article began a discussion on Threat and Error Management (TEM) and looked at what may constitute a threat to your flying operations.
You may recall that I defined a threat as an event occurring beyond the influence of the flight crew, increasing operational complexity, and which must be managed to maintain the margins of safety. Further, when undetected or mismanaged, threats may lead to errors or even undesired aircraft states. The article discussed methods to anticipate possible threats, and using CRM and operational skills, to avoid the threat becoming a reality. The example of restricted airspace very close to the initial departure track was used.
Well, what then are errors? As stated above, a threat may lead to an error. Errors could be defined as actions or inactions by the pilot that can lead to deviations from organisational or pilot intentions or expectations. Continuing the airspace example, if the threat of the close airspace was not considered a threat in the departure brief, the added workload imposed upon the pilot when approaching the airspace and requesting a clearance at a very late stage may lead to an error – such as climbing through an altitude restriction or forgetting completely the after take-off checklist. The error was not caused by the pilot’s lack of standard operating procedures (in that he/she did not know the after take-off checklist was required) but rather the root cause is the mismanagement of the threat of the airspace. This mismanagement does not necessarily have to occur right before the event – rather it may have occurred in the planning or briefing stage where the threat of the airspace was missed or ignored. If the pilot had considered the airspace in the departure brief, he/she may have requested appropriate vectors from ATC earlier, which would have allowed for his or her attention to be directed at other operational tasks, such as checklist requirements.
So, an increase in your appreciation of possible threats to the operation on that day may lead to a reduction in the occurrence of errors. Remember, the basic premise of TEM is that threats and errors need to be identified as early as possible so that mitigation actions can be considered and chosen, acted upon, and afterwards, evaluated.
But what about the instance when an error has not been prevented and has occurred? This is where the pilot relies upon a combination of technical (operational) and non-technical (CRM) skills in order to mitigate the effect of the error.
The Technical aspect includes robust work cycles to pick up when an action has either been missed, not fully completed or to recognise when the aircraft is in an undesired state (not where you want it to be). An example of this in action could include a personal method of re-evaluating what has happened after an event such as a very busy departure where the airspace caused confusion or a heavy workload, and ensuring that all actions of the departure have been completed. Remember to always fly the aircraft first – so check your height, heading, airspeed and clearance and then return to the admin of checklist actions.
The non-technical aspect or CRM includes the ability to share your mental model with other members of the crew – in the student’s case this is most likely your instructor. Here, ensuring that the other pilot in the aeroplane understands what you are planning on doing with the aeroplane now and into the future, assists with their ability to mentally fly the aeroplane and back up what you are doing. If this is done effectively, then they will not be confused or misunderstand what is going on. How do you do this? Effective briefing is a good way to start and during the actual event, such as the departure, verbally ensuring they know when your intentions are changing from the brief or expected sequence of events. Further, if you are the pilot not flying, monitoring the flying, then ask questions if things begin to go off the rails. | aerospace |

The XP-86 fuselage was more slender and longer than the Fury but it retained the wing and tail of the Fury. Both the Sabre and Fury were to be powered by the General Electric J35 axial flow turbojet of 4000 lb. static thrust. The straight wing and the low thrust of the J35 restricted the XP-86 to a top speed of 575 mph which was below what the Air Force wanted. The end of WWII brought with it the jet technology from Germany. Captured documents of transonic wind tunnel data showed a speed benefit of using swept wing surfaces. It was estimated that using swept wing surfaces would increase the XP-86's speed by 75 mph. One problem with swept wings was loss of low speed handling characteristics but once again German data indicated that the use of leading edge slats improved low speed handling. With a new 35º swept wing and full span leading edge slats wind tunnel tests indicated the aircraft would have a top speed of over 650 mph. as a result the Air Force authorized building three prototypes in November of 1945.
The first prototype took a little over eighteen months to complete. It made its first appearance in August of 1947. The prototype had swept back wings and tail surfaces and bore little resemblance to its contemporaries, the P-80, P-84 and F9F. The XP-86 incorporated two major structural innovations, the use of tapered skinning and the use of a double skin structure that added strength and allowed enough open area in the wing for fuel tanks. The prototype flew on October 1, 1947 and flight tests revealed that the XP-86 was all that the Air Force had hoped for. Tests showed it was faster than anything else in service by 75 mph. North American re-engined one of the prototypes with the new GE 5,200 lb. static thrust engines and with this engine the XP-86 was put through the sound barrier on April 25, 1948, the first production aircraft to achieve this. At the completion of the test program the Air Force ordered the aircraft into production under the designation F-86A Sabre.
It is not the intent at this point to discuss in detail all the changes that occurred between the A model and the F which is the model to be built, just a brief look at how it progressed.
The F-86B was a modification to the original A which added larger wheels, tires and brakes which would have required modifying the fuselage. The Air Force signed a letter of intent to buy 190 F-86B's during 1947 however tire and brake technology advanced enough that the original tire and brake size could be retained and the order was changed to 188 A's and 2 C's.
The F-86C was designed to be a long range fighter to escort SAC bombers to Soviet targets. It retained the wings but had an entirely new fuselage and engine with side intakes, an area rule shape and radar in the nose. So drastic was the change that the Air Force redesignated it the YF-93. Only 2 were built as development of the jet bombers, the B-47 and B-52 eliminated the need for a penetration fighter and no more were built.
The F-86D was designed to fill the role of all weather jet interceptor. It had computerized flight controls, radar in the nose and a more powerful engine. It was armed with rockets instead of machine guns. Only 25% of the original F-86 was used. One major change was making the tail surfaces all flying, the entire horizontal stabilizer and the rudder were single pieces that that moved instead of have fixed surfaces with separate elevators and rudder.
The F-86E was an A model fitted with the all flying tail used on the D model.
The F-86F was the ultimate clear air, day fighter variant of the Sabre. It had a J47 engine with 5,910 lb. static thrust which increased speed and rate of climb. The F-86F-10 added a new radar ranging gun sight. The -25 and -30 variants added hard points to each wing to allow carriage of a second drop tank or 1000 lb. bomb and a redesigned wing with cord changes, a wing fence and no leading edge slats. The end result was a tighter turning radius at higher Mach numbers. At the peak of their service the Air Force had 16 wings equipped with the F-86F. North American built 1,959 of them. In addition Mitsubishi built an additional 300 of them for the Japanese Self Defense Force.
There are two good kits for the F-86, the Academy kit and the Hasegawa kit. After reading reviews of both I felt like the Academy kit had a few advantages that would work for me so that's the kit I chose. It comes in a sturdy two part top open box with nice artwork on the top. Inside the box one finds five sealed bags, all but one have two sprues per bag, the clear parts are in a bag by themselves. The kit is molded in a medium gray color with nicely engraved recessed panel lines and fastener and rivet detail.
The parts are nearly flash free with the smaller parts having a small amount of parting line to remove. Looking over the main structure parts I found only one sink mark on the left fuselage half below the speed brake that needs filled. The right half had only a faint mark which doesn't look like it needs filled. No other surface defects were found and the finish, while not highly glossy is smooth. I was hard pressed to find any ejector pin marks, Academy did a good job and even the usual suspects such as inside of gear doors and gear struts were free of them. I did find one on the nose gear retraction lever and several on the tail support stand. Only an issue if you plan to used it, I do not.
The kit has a fairly well detailed engine that can be displayed with the tail off and supported on the stand. The nicest feature about this it that the fuselage is molded in full left and right sides. To display the tail off it's necessary to cut along a thin spot in the fuselage. If you don't want to display the engine there is no fuselage joint that almost always needs work. Sweet design ! The kit comes with two pilot figures, one seated and one standing, both with a pose able part or two. The cockpit is not overly detailed with just the basics. The instrument panel has raised dials with raised internal detail but there is no decal for it. All of the flight control surfaces are fixed. Both sides have a separate panel over the machine gun bay that can be left off and machine guns to display if you do. The speed brakes are also separate so they can be posed open.
The kit comes with a variety of under wing items, two bombs and two each of two different style drop tanks, Sidewinder missiles are included but not shown in the instructions and would not be correct for the Korean War era. The wheel wells are boxed in and show some detail with the nose bay having the best level of detail. the kit wheels are not weighted. all together there are 140 pieces in gray. The clear parts are thin and clear and the canopy is molded in two pieces so it can be displayed open. There are 7 clear parts for a grand total of 147 parts. These can be seen below.
The decals are on a rather large sheet and has markings for two aircraft. The first is Capt. Charles McSwain of the 39 FIS / 51 FIW at Suwon, Korea, which is illustrated in the box top, the other is Lt. Harvey L. Brown of the 67 FBS / 18 FBW, Osan, Korea. The decals appear thin, well registered and look to opaque. They include a lot of stenciling and all of it appears to be readable. They also include all the other stripes and markings which usually give modelers fits and are generally best painted on. One note the decals for Mike's Bird on the sheet do not match the box art color wise. I'm not going on record as being knowledgeable on this and if you are sticker for detail you need to do some homework. When I decided to do this kit I picked up SuperScale's sheet 48-813 which covers this same aircraft. I have displayed both below and you can compare the differences between them and the box art for your self. If the box art is correct it would take parts from both sets to come close to it but I'm not branding the box art correct with out doing some research. See below.
After Market Goodies
OK, so what sort of AMS goodies did I spring for on this kit ? Well I went easy for a change. First is the Eduard 48274 photoetch kit which is specific to this kit. The set predominately decorates the cockpit with seat parts, side console parts, replacement instrument panel with film, canopy slide rails and details for behind the seat under the canopy. The only external parts are drop tank fins, gun barrels and a part for the nose gear door. The fret and film can be seen below.
Next item was True detail wheels . These are weighed but don't appear quite as overly flat as some of their sets. See below.
Next up is a seamless intake from Cutting Edge [CEC48217] This nicely molded piece eliminates the chore of making the seam go away from the inside of the kit parts. See photo below.
And last but not least a nose weight from Terry Dean.
The instructions are printed on a 10 1/2" x 29 1/2" sheet folded to form 8 panels. Panel one is history in four languages followed by six panels of assembly, the last panel is a parts map. The is a separate A4 size page printed front and back with painting and marking instructions.

What Is The Cost Of Rafale Fighter Jets?
Last updated on July 24th, 2023 at 01:00 pm
Rafale jets are highly advanced and versatile multirole fighter aircraft manufactured by Dassault Aviation of France.
They are equipped with cutting-edge weapon systems, modern sensors, and radar, making them one of the most capable fighter jets in the world.
The Indian Air Force already operates 36 of these jets, and now, India is considering procuring the naval variant, known as Rafale Marine, for its Navy.
The special features of Rafale jets lie in their advanced technology and capabilities. These jets are designed to perform various missions effectively, ranging from air-to-air combat, air-to-ground strikes, reconnaissance, and electronic warfare.
They are equipped with state-of-the-art weapons, including Meteor beyond visual range air-to-air missiles, Hammer air-to-surface smart weapon system, and Scalp cruise missiles, which provide exceptional combat capabilities.
What sets the Rafale Marine version apart is its suitability for naval operations. These jets will operate from aircraft carriers at sea, and therefore, they have certain adaptations to cater to this environment.
The Marine version has foldable wings, a longer airframe for carrier landings, and a tail hook for arrested landing on the carrier deck.
The nose and main landing gears are reinforced to handle the challenging conditions of landing and takeoff from aircraft carriers.
The Rafale M also incorporates “jump strut technology” in the shock absorber, allowing the aircraft to achieve the right angle of attack during catapult launches from the carrier.
Moreover, the Rafale Marine can carry a wider range of weapons, including anti-ship missiles and air-to-surface missiles specifically designed for maritime operations. This makes them highly effective in naval warfare scenarios.
The Rafale jets’ overall performance and India-specific enhancements make them a significant addition to India’s defense capabilities.
The Indian Navy’s interest in acquiring the Rafale Marine demonstrates its commitment to strengthening its maritime capabilities and ensuring security in the Indian Ocean region.
Rafale jets are special due to their advanced technology, versatile capabilities, and adaptations for naval operations in the case of the Marine variant.
If acquired by the Indian Navy, these jets would significantly enhance the country’s defense capabilities and bolster its readiness to handle diverse military challenges effectively.
The cost of Rafale fighter jets is around 60,000 crore rupees. This is equivalent to approximately €7.8 billion or US$8.7 billion.
The cost of each Rafale fighter jet is around 91.1 million euros (₹681.7 crore) for a single-seat aircraft and 94 million euros (₹703.4 crore) for a dual-seat aircraft. | aerospace |

The objective of our experiment was to determine which of six different fin configurations was most aerodynamically efficient by observing which one achieved the highest performance (altitude) on several test flights conducted under consistent weather conditions.
Six model rockets of an identical type were equipped with altered fin configurations (with identical surface area, but different shapes and number of fins).
These fin configurations were developed from designs that we had seen on actual rockets currently in use, or rocket designs which have been proposed, but not used. The rocket masses were verified and adjustments to weight were made if necessary to ensure consistency.
All rockets were equipped with Estes B6-4 motors providing identical thrust. Each Rocket was flown 6 times. Altitude observations were made by multiple observers using home-made inclinometers.
Tests showed that the Composite Trapezoid fin design achieved the highest altitudes, averaging 558 feet. Second highest was the 1950's style rocket fin which achieved an average altitude of 513 feet.
Third highest was the Delta Control design which reached an average altitude of 396 feet.
Lower altitudes were achieved by the Wright Brothers (5 fin rectangular) fin configuration which averaged 375 feet and by the Space Shuttle (two larger wings and a smaller vertical stabilizer) fin configuration which achieved an average of 333 feet.
The rocket with the tubular fin design was unstable and did not generate any meaningful altitude data.
Our conclusion is that rockets with the minimum number of fins that provide stability (enough drag to keep the center of pressure behind the center of gravity) and generate the same amount of drag on all sides of the rocket, allow the rocket to maintain a vertical course while minimizing the aerodynamic drag which allows these rockets to achieve the highest altitudes.
This project tested which fin designs are most efficient (provide stability and generate the minimum aerodynamic drag) thus allowing a rocket to achieve the greatest altitude.

In a previous post, “Our Energy Future: Solar Power,” I mentioned a mini-series the Discovery Channel aired in 2007 called 2057, in which physicists and futurists discussed current developments that will possibly mold the next 50 years of human civilization. Aside from some bland acting, it was very informative. 😉
In the episode 2057: The World, a space elevator was discussed. If you think that is what it sounds like…you’re right. An elevator cable (made of an extremely strong material) is descended from a space station in orbit around the planet to a station on the surface of the Earth. The promise: space travel becomes so affordable = space tourism and exploration is possible for the average person.
I wish I were in Tokyo right now.
The first spherical large-scale OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode) screen in the world was debuted at Tokyo’s National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation last Saturday, June 11. The OLED screen gives viewers a chance to see the planet as those in space see it.

A century later we know the date as an aviation milestone, but for that flight alone it is hard to argue that the Wrights were more successful than other inventors who had already flown farther (and crashed harder).
It took two more years for the Wrights to build and fly the world’s first truly controllable airplane. Unfortunately, until they felt sure of the sale of their perfected machine, their secretiveness invited skepticism from Scientific American and other publications of the day and left them underappreciated by their peers and the general public.
Other contenders for the “first airplane” laurels merely made short or uncontrolled flights. Clement Ader can be credited with the first powered takeoff in 1890. But his steam-powered aircraft reached an altitude of eight inches, sufficient to classify it as a flight only to his French countrymen. German-born Gustave Whitehead was adept at fabricating stories about flying in the U.S., but he never built a workable airplane. New Zealanders are proud of Richard Pearse: in March 1903 this reclusive, eccentric farmer flew his bamboo-and-canvas monoplane for about 450 feet before crashing into a gorse hedge. His example illustrates, rather painfully, the need for controllability in aerial navigation.
Control Is the Key
WILBUR WRIGHT, in a talk before the Western Society of Engineers in Chicago in September 1901, said that the greatest obstacle to a functional airplane was “the balancing and steering of the machine after it is actually in flight.” The Wrights therefore gave priority to working out a method of aerial control. They also re- alized that just as a cyclist needed to learn how to ride a bicycle, a pilot would have to learn how to fly.
The Wrights studied the work of Otto Lilienthal, a German engineer widely considered to be the world’s first pilot. LilienthaI made thousands of flights in sophisticated gliders of his own design, steering by shifting his body just as hang gliders do today. He perished after a flying accident, however, and the Wrights decided they needed a method of control more suitable. or airplanes big enough to carry a motor. They thought that if the wingtips could be warped while in flight, then the balance and the direction of the flying machine could be maintained.
In August 1899 the Wrights, taking a break from their profitable bicycle business in Dayton, Ohio, constructed a small bi-plane kite with a five-foot wingspan to test some of their theories. The kite was rigged with wires that slightly twisted the wings while aloft. An elevator, a small wing set forward of the main wing, stabilized the pitch (up-and-down motion) of the craft. Promising results encouraged them to make a scaled-up version in 1900 with a wing area of 165 square feet.
They took this kite to Kitty Hawk, on the Outer Banks of North Carolina, where consistently steady breezes blew off the Atlantic Ocean and the gently sloping sand dunes provided space and a soft landing. The Wrights were pleased enough with the results of their experiments to return in 1901 with an ambitiously larger glider, but they went back to Dayton puzzled by problems they had encountered with the contemporary aeronautical data. To refine their wing designs, they tested more than 60 model cross sections in a wind tunnel they built.
From the information they gleaned came the 1902 glider, with an efficient, long, narrow wing design. They added a twin vertical tail to control yaw (side-to-side movement). The pilot lay prone in a hip cradle, and his own lateral movement pulled wires that warped the wings and controlled flight direction. At Kitty Hawk during the late summer and early fall, both brothers logged many hours of unpowered flight in this glider.
Having constructed and learned how to fly an unpowered aircraft, the Wrights then embarked on creating a more robust, motorized version. Most automobile engines being too heavy, they designed their own and built it using an aluminum-copper alloy. To find the optimal shape for propellers, they turned again to wind-tunnel testing, treating the propeller as a small revolving wing. Their design had an efficiency of almost 70 percent, just 10 percent less than modern versions. They mounted two of these propellers at the back of the aircraft rotating in opposite directions to counter effects from torque.
The Great Day
AT KILL DEVIL HILLS near Kitty Hawk on December 7, 903, the Wrights sat their Flyer 1 on the launching rail, laid on flat sand. Orville was at the controls (decided by a coin toss). They started the motor and, with Wilbur running alongside guiding the wing, the craft became airborne—briefly. If it is debatable whether the first flight of the day was a controlled flight or a hop, the fourth and last, with Wilbur at the controls, was definitive: it covered 852 feet in 59 seconds. The Wrights had flown a powered, heavier-than-air machine in free, controlled, sustained flight. Nine days later Scientific American cautiously noted: “This is a decided step in advance in aerial navigation with aeroplanes”
The Wrights were triumphant aircraft inventors. Unfortunately, they were terrible aviation businessmen. They became so concerned about losing financial control of their invention that they kept it away not only from the prying eyes of competitors but also from potential customers and those who could have helped spread word of their progress. Even after they were awarded patent number 821,393 in May 1906 (after a wait of three years), they did not believe that it offered much protection—an opinion that turned out to be justified.
Back in Dayton, at Huffman Prairie, the Wrights continued work on producing a salable flying machine. With their Flyer 2 they made more than 100 short flights, later on using a catapult to facilitate takeoff. Still, they avoided the limelight, much to the frustration of aviation enthusiasts excited by snippets of news. In June 1904, with rumors trickling in from Dayton, Scientific American complained: “Great secrecy was maintained about the test, and hut few witnessed it.” There was at least one witness, Amos Ives Root, and he wrote an article about what he had seen. He published it in his magazine, Gleanings in Bee Culture, on January 1, 1905. Root claimed that Scientific American had rejected his offer to publish the article. We have no record of why the editors might have done so, hut perhaps the style was too flowery for their taste. Here is the first sentence as it appeared in Bee Culture: “1 have a wonderful story to tell you—a story that, in some respects, out rivals the Arabian Nights fables—a story, too, with a moral that I think many of the younger ones need, and perhaps some of the older ones too if they will heed it.”
The Flyer 2 and the Flyer 3 were as difficult to control as the Kitty Hawk Flyer, and hard landings were frequent (points worth remembering by those attempting modern re-creations of the aircraft). A crash in July 1905 forced the Wrights into a radical and fortuitous reconstruction of the Flyer 3. They enlarged the control surfaces and placed them farther from the center of balance. On October 5,1905, with Wilbur at the controls, the airplane flew 24 miles in 39.5 minutes.
The Wrights had developed the world’s first truly practical airplane and clinched their status as aviation pioneers. But it was a laurel conferred by history alone, because the Wrights allowed so few people to observe—or photograph—the aircraft flying. It was not until 1990 that the Flyer 3 was designated as a National Historic Landmark, the sole airplane ever to receive that honor.
The Wrights offered to sell the airplane to, variously, the U.S. secretary of war, the
French, the British and the Germans. But they refused to demonstrate its flight ca- pabilities without a signed sales contract. Not surprisingly, customers balked at buy ing so novel a device without seeing whether it worked. Unable to get additional information from, or about, the Wrights, Scientific American commented huffily in a January 1906 article, “It seems that these alleged experiments were made at Dayton, Ohio, a fairly large town, and that the newspapers of the United States, alert as they are, allowed these sensational performances to escape their notice.”
The French dubbed the Wrights “hluffeurs.” A German aeronautical journal called their flights “em amerikanischer bluff.” The Wrights, however, did not think their flying machine sufficiently advanced to demonstrate it yet.
Fame Slips Away
MEANWHILE, FAR AWAY from Dayton, in France, Brazilian-born Alberto Santos-Dumont made the first public demonstration of flight. He took off from a field on November 12, 1906, and flew for 722 feet. Because there was no proof to the contrary at the time, he was hailed as the first man to fly. His countrymen today still revere Santos-Dumont as the Father of Aviation. In an effort to encourage innovation in aeronautics, the Aero Club of America and this magazine offered a prize in 1907 to the first person who could take off and fly one kilometer in a straight line. The Wrights chose to pursue sales contracts and did not compete for the prize. Glenn Hammond Curtiss and the Aerial Experiment Association, backed by Alexander Graham Bell, entered and won the trophy with their June Bug aircraft in a triumphal flight on July 4, 1908. Because of this feat and the prominence of Curtiss in early American aviation as a pilot and inventor, many in the U.S. believed he was the first to fly.
The Wrights waited until they were close to selling airplanes to both the U.S. Army Signal Corps and to a French syndicate before showing their aircraft publicly Starting on August 8, 1908, at a racetrack near Le Mans, France, in a Wright Model A Flyer, Wilbur astonished viewers with multiple flights of unprecedented piloting skill and technological advance, and the Wrights were hailed as heroes.
By 1909 the Wrights reached the peak of their fame. In the autumn of that year perhaps a million astounded onlookers saw Wilbur fly over New York Harbor and around the Statue of Liberty; a few days later a similarly huge crowd saw him take an aerial trip up the Hudson River. Yet the burgeoning field of aviation was rapidly overtaking the Wrights as money and talent poured into this exciting new industry. By 1911 several companies, mostly in Europe, were manufacturing aircraft that were safer, faster and more maneuverable than the Wright flyers.
When Wilbur died of typhoid fever in 1912, Orville was left floundering against the rising tide of competition and fighting protracted patent-infringement lawsuits. By 1915 he had tired of the flying business, and he quit. But he never gave up strug gling to secure his status in the history hooks as half of the team that had worked so hard and so successfully to solve the problem of airplane flight.

A Wright Brothers Myth
A POPULAR MYTH about the Wright brothers is that ‘they were considered cranks because everyone knew that flying was impossible.” Untrue. This fiction is based on the turn-of-the-century writings of several skeptics, principally Simon Newcomb, a prominent astronomer, who noted the difficulty of scaling up the power needed for working models to full-size aircraft. The reality is that people had been flying since 1?83, thanks to the invention in France of a practical hot-air balloon by brothers, Joseph-Michel and Jacques-Etienne Montgolfier. By 1903 powered balloon flights and glider soaring were commonplace, and engines were becoming lighter and producing more horsepower. Fitting the elements together was acknowledged as tricky, risky and expensive, but few people thought that airplane flying would always be “impossible.’ It was the Wrights’ secretiveness that made this magazine (and many others) skeptical about their accomplishment

The new EN-2000 will represent the pinnacle of performance in Emcore navigation systems, and realizes the company’s vision of a closed-loop, solid-state design that will deliver higher performance at lower cost than traditional RLG (ring laser gyroscope) navigation systems.
The EN-2000 expands Emcore’s navigation systems line that also includes the EN-1000 introduced in 2017. The Emcore-Orion series of inertial navigation system (INS) are designed for use in a broad range of defense, aviation and aeronautics applications.
The unit was introduced at the Paris Air Show, held June 17-20 at the Parc des Expositions Paris-le Bourget in Hall 6, Stand #C65.
Today, there is an ever-increasing premium being placed on modern navigation systems for improved size, weight and power (SWaP). Traditional RLG navigation systems placed a premium on accuracy and performance, but not SWaP. Typical RLG and FOG systems are large and heavy, ranging in volume from 330 in3 to 540 in3, weighing 13 to 22 pounds with power requirements of 25 to 38 watts.
Many modern weapon systems are now remotely operated, unmanned or man-portable and may need to operate where GPS is unavailable or denied. The compact EN-2000 is designed for these applications. It puts a premium on accuracy and performance, but also on smaller size, less weight and lower power consumption.
The new Emcore-Orion EN-2000 MINAV is a three-axis design using the company’s proprietary, next-generation solid-state optical transceiver with advanced integrated optics, combined with all new field programmable gate array (FPGA) electronics to deliver stand-alone aircraft-grade navigator performance at one-third the SWaP of legacy or competing systems.
The EN-2000 model comes in two standard versions, an IMU version and a standalone INS configuration. The INS version can gyrocompass to less than 0.7 milliradians and maintain near-GPS-level positional accuracy without the use of a GPS receiver. This makes it suitable for use in GPS-denied environments.
To provide customers with additional flexibility, the unit is also capable of being aided by an external GPS for applications where needed.
The Emcore-Orion EN-2000 is compact and lightweight, weighing less than 7 pounds, with very low power consumption of 10 watts. It can deliver twice the performance of the EN-1000 with the same form factor.
The low SWaP of the EN-2000 makes it a suitable inertial navigation system for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs), unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs), manned aircraft, rotorcraft and dismounted soldier applications.
“With the introduction of the EN-2000, Emcore can now offer class-leading performance at a fraction of the size, weight and power of competing systems with increased reliability,” said David Faulkner, Emcore vice president and general manager of aerospace and defense. “Emcore’s goal of a true full navigation system that can replace older technology navigation systems in UAVs, UUVs, UGVs, manned aircraft and rotorcraft is fully realized with the introduction of the EN-2000.”
“Our Emcore-Orion series micro navigators improve dramatically on the size and cost of navigation and azimuth sensing equipment by utilizing affordable lightweight sensors that reduce overall system weight and increase accuracy,” added K.K. Wong, Sr., director of fiber optic gyro products for Emcore. “The digital interface is also fully programmable at Emcore’s factory enabling it to directly replace competing units.” | aerospace |

Inspired by how birds almost instinctively fly through wooded areas without collision, the team believes the breakthrough will allow conservationists and ecologists the ability to map and survey large swathes of land in the most timeous manner possible.
Drones are limited to a very brief window of operation. Large battery packs and motors would be far too heavy for a standard drone to lift in conjunction with whatever surveying instruments or payloads need to be carried. To counter this, drone engineers and operators have viewed swarms of drones over a larger area.
Disaster relief efforts could be aided by an army of drones, said team lead, Xin Zhou. For example, a region devastated by an earthquake is often vast and, depending on the scale of the destruction, difficult for rescuers to ascertain where to divert their resources. A swarm of drones could quickly and effectively map the entire area, providing crucial intelligence for relief efforts.
Zhou and his colleagues purpose-built the roughly palm-sized drones for their experiment. Each unit is equipped with an arsenal of sensory equipment, including depth cameras, altitude sensors and an onboard computer.
It’s the drone’s clever software that allows them to work as a team. Previous efforts at drone swarm technology have relied on each drone using GPS to coordinate its flight pathing and keep a safe distance from its nearest teammate.
The research team decided to forgo GPS and created an algorithm that manages the flight pathing of each drone, letting them fly freely, independently and close to one another without the fear of a potentially dangerous and expensive mid-air collision.
Unlike with GPS, using the advanced algorithm also lessens the drone’s reliance on infrastructure, allowing it to operate in less than ideal scenarios.
To prove their method, the team let loose ten of their bright blue drones in a dense bamboo forest, allowing the swarm to find the ideal path through the natural landscape. The team also successfully showcased how the drones could follow an objective while avoiding traffic and obstacles.
The feat was described as impressive by Enrica Soria, a roboticist affiliated with the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology. Soria believes it won’t be long before we see drone swarms performing tasks in real-world scenarios. However, he stressed the need for more experimentation, especially in ultra-dynamic environments such as densely populated cities. | aerospace |

[social_buttons]As it swept over the Gulf of Mexico, the Aqua, using the onboard Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer instrument, took the above image showing three big bright sunglints.
According to the May 18 National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) web update of the Deepwater Horizon incident, “satellite imagery on May 17 indicated that the main bulk of the oil is dozens of miles away from the Loop Current, but that a tendril of light oil has been transported down close to the Loop Current.”
In fact, in news today scientists monitoring the spill with the European Space Agency’s Envisat radar satellite say that the oil spill has in fact entered the Loop Current, a powerful conveyor belt that flows clockwise around the Gulf of Mexico towards Florida.
“With these images from space, we have visible proof that at least oil from the surface of the water has reached the current,” said Dr Bertrand Chapron of Ifremer, the French Research Institute for Exploitation of the Sea. “Now that oil has entered the Loop Current, it is likely to reach Florida within six days. Since Envisat ASAR, ERS-2 and other SAR satellites are systematically planned to acquire data over the area, we will monitor the situation continuously.” | aerospace |

Engineering professor Wallace Fowler shed some light on the NASA application process from his experiences working in aerospace — he even once applied to join NASA himself.
“People generally stay at NASA for 10 to 15 years before moving to a company, so they need a new fresh group of astronauts to add to the core group,” Fowler said. “A lot of people who have graduated from UT are qualified, but it’s hard. The chances are about one in 1,000 to be selected even if you have qualifications.”
To apply for the few open positions, applicants must have a bachelor’s degree, three years of professional experience, at least 1,000 hours of flight experience, be able to pass a NASA space flight physical and be an American citizen.
Aerospace engineering sophomore Alto Ono, an international student from Japan who does not hold American citizenship, said he is disappointed he will not be able to apply for this incoming class or any other for the foreseeable future.
“It sucks that there is a wall like that,” Ono said. “But I understand that it’s a national security issue, and [there are] ways around that wall, like working with the Japanese space agency instead, since they work closely with NASA. Hopefully I can gain citizenship, but we will see.”
Brian Kelly, director of flight operations at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston, said he was happy to hear the news that NASA would be accepting applications and called this an “exciting time.”
“NASA has taken the next step in the evolution of our nation’s human spaceflight program,” Kelly said. “Our U.S. astronauts will be at the forefront of these new and challenging space flight missions. We encourage all qualified applicants to learn more about the opportunities for astronauts at NASA and apply to join our flight operations team.”
The few newly accepted astronauts will have the possibility of working — and even flying in — any of four different U.S. vessels during their careers: the International Space Station, two commercial crew spacecraft currently in development by U.S. companies or NASA’s Orion deep-space exploration vehicle. | aerospace |

NASA’s OSIRIS-REx spacecraft captured this image of the Earth and Moon on January 17 from a distance of 39.5 million miles. It’s been an incompatible few months on this blue dot of ours, but nothing puts life into perception like this amazing photo captured by a spacecraft literally millions of miles from us.
NASA’s OSIRIS-REx, an asteroid-sampling spacecraft, captured the image below as portion of an engineering test on January 17 2018. The probe was stirring away from us at about 8.5 km per second (19,000 miles per hour) when it captured the photo – snapping a minute Earth and Moon sitting together 63.6 million kilometers (39.5 million miles) away from us.
In the photo, you can see Earth is the perky dot in the mid of the image, and the Moon is the minor dot to the right. But if you look a little closely, there’s way much more to haze upon in the background.
As NASA explains, “Several constellations are also visible in the surrounding space. The bright cluster of stars in the upper left corner is the Pleiades in the Taurus constellation.”
“Hamal, the brightest star in Aries, is located in the upper right corner of the image. The Earth-Moon system is centred in the middle of five stars comprising the head of Cetus the Whale.”
Since its launch on 8 September 2016, this isn’t the first breathtaking photo OSIRIS-REx has sent back to us. Back in January we received a much closer image when the Spacecraft was nearly 400,000 kilometres (230,000 miles) away from Earth.
We also got a complite color composite snap of Earth at 170,000 kilometres that could wow even the staunchest flat earther a year after it first launched. The spacecraft is projected to reach its target, the asteroid Bennu, in August 2018 – and will transport both materials and photos of this asteroid ‘time capsule’ back to Earth around September 2023.
Mainly, we’ve only perceived the start of what this brave little spacecraft can do. But in the interim, millions of miles puts Earth in a bit more perspective | aerospace |

Recently Russian Helicopters supplied 6 Mi-171Sh combat transport helicopters to Bangladesh ordered previously. Attack helicopters are the dedicated combat platforms used in the battlefield to provide fire support to the forward forces.
Bangladesh Army Aviation Group (AAG) building an independent air arm to execute its own air operations across the country and to reduce pressure on Bangladesh Air Force for fire support. Already BA has inducted various types of aircrafts including fixed-wing and rotary-wing. Previously they ordered Spanish made EADS CASA C295W medium lift military transport aircraft. Took delivery of 6 Mi-171Sh helicopters. Now ordering brand new dedicated attack choppers from Russia.
Before narrowing down the list Bangladesh Army (BA) has studied American AH-1Z Viper, Turkish TAI T129 ATAK and Chinese Z-10 attack helicopters.
Bangladesh has to protect herself from evil eyes on her peoples and resources. On the context of regional extremism uprising and insurgency in a low intensity it’s worthy to be prepared for any unexpected security scenario within or from external sources. Although, these security concerns Bangladesh must modernize its military with most advanced equipment available. Hence, government and armed forces prepared the “Forces Goal – 2030” modernizing program for the Bangladesh Army, Bangladesh Navy and Bangladesh Air Force. Under this program BA bought various weapons and equipment from various sources. Among them Nora B-52K1 SPG, BTR-80 APCs, MBT-2000 Tank, Multiple Launch Rocket Systems, Anti-Tank Guided Missiles, Mi-171Sh helicopters, FM-90B SHORAD, LY-80E Medium-Range Surface-to-Air Missile system, new assault rifle, Chinese Man Portable Air Defense System (MANADS) etc.
As Bangladesh got a large portion of its border surrounded by plain landscape and aggressor’s mechanized and armored infantry can penetrate through, hence a dedicated attack helicopter with handsome anti-armor firepower is a must needed thing to bolster the security. On the other hand these helicopters can be used in anti-insurgency and counterterrorism operations too. For this requirement Bangladesh Senabahini evaluated various platforms includes American Bell AH-1Z Viper, Turkish Aerospace Industries TAI T129 ATAK, Chinese Change WZ-10, and Russian Mi-35M & Mi-28NM. Among them army narrowed down the list to the Mi-35M & Mi-28NM.
As Bangladesh already operating a combat and transport helicopter like Mi171Sh it’s expected that they would buy Mi-28 attack chopper for the role. As still it’s not decided, we must wait to see what happen next! | aerospace |

MIAMI – September 25, 2023 – The DRONERESPONDERS 2024 Florida Public Safety Drone Operations Conference (FLOCON) will be held from February 20-22, 2024, in Auburndale, FL, uniting first responders from across Florida and beyond who are using small, uncrewed aircraft systems (sUAS) for a wide variety of life and safety missions.
FLOCON 2024 will build off the inaugural event held in March 2023 to offer additional classroom education combined with targeted clinics on the tactical use of sUAS for real-world law enforcement, fire rescue, and disaster response missions. Live demonstrations of products and equipment for the ecosystem surrounding public safety drone operations will also be featured.
SunTrax, a large-scale innovative facility developed by Florida’s Turnpike Enterprise and dedicated to the research, development, and testing of emerging transportation technologies in safe and controlled environments, will again serve as the official host location for FLOCON.
“SunTrax is a world-class facility that provides an ideal venue for our goal of safely and effectively training first responders and emergency services professionals in the use of drones in compliance with Florida law,” said Sgt. Robert Dooley, UAV Program Coordinator for the Florida Highway Patrol and leadership team member for the DRONERESPONDERS Florida Public Safety Coordination Group (FLOGRU). “FLOCON 2024 will feature a robust program offering classroom-style education combined with outdoor flight clinics to provide comprehensive training for attendees.”
FLOCON has already helped train over 200 public safety agency members on how to operate drones for incident and disaster response. Organizers say FLOCON 2024 will increase capacity to accommodate additional attendees.
"SunTrax is excited to return this year as the official host venue for FLOCON 2024," said Pamela Foster, SunTrax Strategic Development Manager for Florida’s Turnpike Enterprise. "The results have shown how the use of drones can significantly impact public safety and traffic operations. SunTrax proudly continues to provide support to Florida’s first responders as they work to expand the use of this exciting technology."
“What makes FLOCON unique compared to other public safety UAS training events is that it is entirely produced by first responders for first responders,” says Christopher Todd, Executive Director of AIRT. “FLOCON participants can learn in a safe and productive environment focused on helping them become more proficient at operating drones to help save lives.”
Registration for FLOCON 2024 is expected to open on Monday, October 16. Please visit flogru.org for additional details.

Yesterday was a big day for Earth imaging, as NASA’s Landsat Data Continuity Mission (LDCM) successfully launched into orbit from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. Exelis VIS’s own Thomas Harris (@t_harris) was lucky enough to attend the NASA Social event at the launch. Check out his twitter stream from that event to catch a whiff of the excitement on the launch pad.
After the about 100 days of commissioning time and a final check, the USGS will make nominal data products from Landsat 8 available to all users at no charge. As the USGS takes over operation of the satellite, it plans to rename the mission Landsat 8.
History of Landsat
Plenty of folks in the Remote Sensing community had reason to bite their nails as the LDCM launch date neared. In 1993 Landsat 6 launched but then failed to reach orbit due to a ruptured manifold. While Landsat 7 successfully launched in 1999, the Scan Line Corrector in Landsat 7’s ETM+ instrument failed permanently in 2003. This left ETM+ incapable of collecting more than about 75% data for any given scene. Therefore, when Landsat 5 was decommissioned this past January 6, after an amazing 28 years of service, that left us with no fully functional Landsat sensor.
Importance of Landsat
Continuing the Landsat mission has been a top priority for the remote sensing community. For over 40 years now the Landsat Program has been continuously collecting multispectral imagery of the Earth. Continuing that record into the future is critical for a wide variety of objectives, including cartography, urban planning, disaster response, and natural resource monitoring.
Landsat images show the Aral Sea in central Asia shrinking significantly from 1977 to 2010 because of water diversion for agricultural use. Images provided by USGS EROS Data Center. Image compilation prepared for Nature.
What’s New with Landsat 8
Landsat 8 carries two instruments, the Operational Land Imager (OLI) and the Thermal Infrared Sensor (TIRS). The OLI will add two new bands to previous Landsats’ visible, near infrared, and shortwave infrared measurements. One is designed to collect data about high altitude cirrus clouds and one to collect data about aerosols and water quality in lakes and shallow coastal waters. TIRS will collect data on heat emitted from Earth’s surface in two thermal bands, as opposed to the single thermal band on previous Landsat satellites.
What do you think the impact of Landsat 8 data being on your remote sensing, GIS, and geospatial products will be? | aerospace |

The next launch attempt will not take place until Friday at the earliest and could be off until next month.
As precious minutes ticked away, NASA repeatedly stopped and started the fueling of the Space Launch System rocket with nearly 1 million gallons of super-cold hydrogen and oxygen because of a leak of highly explosive hydrogen. The leak happened in the same place that saw seepage during a dress rehearsal back in the spring.
Then, NASA ran into new trouble when it was unable to properly chill one of the rocket’s four main engines, officials said. Engineers continued working to pinpoint the source of the problem after the launch postponement was announced.
“This is a very complicated machine, a very complicated system, and all those things have to work, and you don’t want to light the candle until it’s ready to go,” said NASA Administrator Bill Nelson.
The rocket was set to lift off on a mission to propel a crew capsule into orbit around the moon, bringing the U.S. a big step closer to putting astronauts back on the lunar surface for the first time since the Apollo program ended 50 years ago.
The 322-foot (98-meter) spaceship is the most powerful rocket ever built by NASA, out-muscling even the Saturn V that the Apollo astronauts rode.
As for when NASA might make another liftoff attempt, launch commentator Derrol Nail said engineers were still analyzing the engine problem and “we must wait to see what shakes out from their test data.”
No astronauts were inside the rocket’s Orion capsule. Instead, the test dummies, fitted with sensors to measure vibration, cosmic radiation and other conditions, were strapped in for the six-week mission, scheduled to end with the capsule’s splashdown in the Pacific in October. | aerospace |

As the strike by EVA Air flight attendants over working conditions entered its fourth day, the Taichung Travel Agency Association said that if the industrial action continues until Tuesday, it will mobilize about 100 people to march to EVA Air headquarters in Taoyuan in protest against the lack of notice.
The failure to give notice showed a blatant disregard for consumer rights, said Chang Chinding head of the association.
The customers of the travel agencies have suffered losses, as they did when China Airlines pilots went on strike earlier this year, he said.
Meanwhile, Wu Chihchien chairman of the Taipei Association of Travel Agents, called on the Cabinet to coordinate with the ministries of labor and transportation to help facilitate talks between EVA Air management and its employees to end the strike as soon as possible.
A strike in the aviation industry requires at least 15 days' notice to travel agents and passengers, to give them enough time to make adjustments, Wu said.
While workers have the right to strike for their benefits, such a sudden action holds consumers hostage, he said.
Either EVA Air or the Taoyuan Flight Attendants Union, which launched the strike, should be held accountable for the losses passengers have sustained as a result of the flight attendants' strike, he said.
The airline on Sunday canceled 113 flights, which affected roughly 24,000 passengers.
In the period June 2428, if the strike doesn't end, EVA's cancelations will total 911 flights, affecting 105,700 passengers who had made bookings before the start of the strike, the airline said.

This development now paves the way for India’s Chandrayaan-3 to potentially become the first spacecraft to achieve a landing near the lunar south pole.
On Sunday morning, Chandrayaan-3 transitioned into its pre-landing orbit at an altitude of 25 km x 134 km above the lunar surface. This maneuver was in preparation for its scheduled landing on Wednesday. The spacecraft is poised to begin its descent around 5:45 pm IST on Wednesday, with the actual touchdown expected about 15 minutes later.
Initially slated to make a soft landing on Monday, August 21, two days ahead of Chandrayaan-3, Luna-25 faced technical issues on Saturday during its attempt to reach the pre-landing orbit. Both spacecraft were intended to touch down in the vicinity of the lunar south pole.
The Russian space agency, Roscosmos, announced on Saturday the emergence of an “emergency situation” that hindered the planned orbit-reduction maneuver for Luna-25. Subsequently, communication with the spacecraft was lost. Although efforts were made to rectify the problem, Roscosmos confirmed on Sunday afternoon that Luna-25 had crash-landed on the lunar surface, bringing the mission to an unfortunate end.
According to Roscosmos, the measures taken over August 19 and 20 to establish contact with Luna-25 and locate it proved ineffective. A preliminary analysis indicated that due to deviations in actual impulse parameters from the calculated values, the spacecraft deviated from its intended orbit and ultimately collided with the lunar surface.
Luna-25 represented Russia’s first lunar mission in the modern era. The last lunar mission by the Soviet Union occurred in 1976, culminating in the successful landing of Luna-24. The crash of Luna-25 underscores the challenges inherent in contemporary lunar landings, as attempts by several countries, including India, Israel, and Japan, have all ended in crash-landings during the final stages. Chandrayaan-3’s upcoming landing attempt could potentially improve this record for India.
Japan is also poised to make another lunar landing attempt, with its SLIM spacecraft scheduled for launch later this month. The unsuccessful Luna-25 mission has now positioned Chandrayaan-3 as a contender for achieving the first landing near the Moon’s southern pole. Both spacecraft were targeting a landing site around 70 degrees South latitude on the lunar surface.
The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) confirmed that Chandrayaan-3 is operating normally and preparing for its scheduled descent on Wednesday. The powered descent is set to commence on August 23, 2023, around 17:45 hours IST, coinciding with the start of the lunar day, which lasts approximately 14 Earth days. The module will undergo internal checks while awaiting sunrise at the designated lunar landing site.

On a delayed JetBlue flight from LAX to New York City on Tuesday, the pilot claimed that his plane had been “given priority” to land at Kennedy because a competition winner, who was expected to meet Seacrest in NYC ahead of his New Year’s Eve event, was on board.
JetBlue flight No. 424 had taken off around 30 minutes late, but an officer announced over the intercom midway through the cross-country trip that it would land slightly ahead of schedule because “we have a friend on board.” Turns out a Katie Roberts, who had won an invitation to Seacrest’s “New Year’s Rockin’ Eve” show, was on the flight and air-traffic control had given the Airbus A321 “priority handling.” Fellow fliers even gave Roberts a round of applause.

Commercial manufacturing refers to the assembly processes that are carried out to produce mass amounts of commercial goods, such as drugs or food. Classified manufacturing is used to describe the process of assembling goods in the aerospace and Department of Defense (DoD) industries as well as anywhere confidentiality may be a requirement. The DoD manufacturing industry is a rapidly growing classified sector that requires highly secure cloud environments on an air-gapped, on-premises server. Manufacturers with classified area requirements especially need cutting-edge IIoT technology solutions to proactively defend against emerging international threats. But although asset tracking can provide benefits for the classified area manufacturing sector, there are also some challenges to consider before implementation.

Name: James Robert Hysong, Jr.
Case Classification: Endangered Missing
Missing Since: March 15, 1993
Location Last Seen: Sylvania Township, Lucas County, Ohio
Date of Birth: May 8, 1972
Age: 20 yrs old
Weight: 140-150 lbs
Hair Color: Brown
Eye Color: Blue
Distinguishing Marks/Features: None
Fingerprints: Not Available
Additional Personal Items: Unknown
Jim Hysong was last seen as he climbed into a rented, 1993 Piper Cherokee Arrow, two-seat plane at Toledo Suburban Airport on March 15, 1993 with a tail number of N15206. He had rented a 1974 Piper Cherokee Arrow for a short trip to Jackson, Michigan, where he planned to take a test to become a flight instructor. Hysong was an accomplished pilot.
Investigators have two main theories about what happened that day: either Hysong decided to commit suicide for some unknown reason by crashing the airplane into Lake Michigan, or he stole the aircraft with the intention of selling it.
According to Federal Aviation Administration radar logs, a plane piloted by Hysong took off from Toledo Suburban about 10:15 a.m. and climbed to an altitude of 4,800 feet as it headed northwest. But the plane bypassed Jackson Airport to the east by several miles. The plane continued past Grand Rapids and Grand Haven and went about 15 miles out over Lake Michigan before disappearing about 83 minutes after the flight began.
Volunteer pilots from the Michigan Chapter of the Civil Air Patrol searched from the air for wreckage of the plane for six weeks, first on land and then on water. Nothing was ever located.
Every part of the $40,000 airplane was listed as stolen and entered on the national databases of the Law Enforcement Information Network and the National Crime Information Center in July, 1994. Since then not a single piece of the aircraft has turned up.
On four different occasions, the Federal Aviation Administration reported instances of pilots around the country using the identifying tail number of the missing aircraft - N15206 -, either during radio weather checks or purchasing fuel. None of the FAA investigations into the four reports resulted in any hard evidence or even eyewitness accounts of an aircraft with that tail number. The tail number remains on the FAA's list of missing or stolen aircraft.

The very first meteorological satellite, named Triton, took to the skies on October 9 on board a Vega rocket by French launch service provider Arianespace. This achievement has underscored Taiwan’s strength and influence in technology, defense, economy, and its international standing, with high expectations for its contribution to global meteorological research. Dr. Wu Tsung-tsong, Minister of NSTC, mentioned the challenges and tests that scientific and technological advancements face. Satellites and rockets are large systems for scientific research, and meticulous, patient, persistent preparations are needed before they can operate successfully. Dr. Wu Jong-shinn, Director General of TASA, explained that Triton’s payload is Global Navigation Satellite System-Reflectometry (GNSS-R), and its task is to retrieve wind speed data through patterns reflected off the ocean and transmitted by GNSS. Triton is the culmination of efforts by TASA in collaboration with more than 20 Taiwanese companies, with domestic engineering and manufacturing accounting for 82% of the entire satellite project. Triton’s GNSS-R payload will analyze wind speed data collected on ocean-surface, from which wind speeds can be retrieved from wave height data. Wind speed is currently the least readily available data in meteorological observation, and Triton is expected to provide a substantial volume of valuable data, thus contributing favorably to global meteorological science and weather forecasting. TASA conducted a preliminary assessment of Triton’s health status. At 8:56 pm (Taiwan time), Triton made contact with TASA for nearly 11 minutes. Director General Wu, who had monitored the communication closely, confirmed that Triton’s health status, including its attitude, temperature and power, were all working within normal parameters. Going forward, functional tests of the satellite bus will be carried out as scheduled. If everything goes according to plan, Triton will then activate its principal payload GNSS-R to begin receiving reflected signals from GNSS. | aerospace |

THE MAKING OF
An emblematic and unmistakable airliner, the Boeing 747 has been manufactured by Boeing since the 1970s.
Its double deck - the hump above the cockpit - its 4 engines as well as a wide fuselage make it THE carrier of the the decades between 1970 and 1990. It succeeds the legendary Boeing 707 and holds the record for passenger capacity until the arrival of the Airbus A380. It’s also the first aircraft to have been dubbed “Jumbo Jet.”
Since the begining, KLM has perpetuated the tradition of naming the aircraft in its fleet. For example, all B747s are baptized with city names, while one of its successors, B787-9, are named after flower.
Once the name has been chosen, the company must send the name to the manufacturer eight months before the device is delivered. Named “Free town”, this B747-400 registered PH-BFF took off for its first passenger voyage on January 30, 1990. The aircraft, called in the aeronautical jargon COMBI, includes a passenger cabin to but also an area dedicated to freight, not only in the cargo hold like any other aircraft but also .
The Boeing 747 registered PH-BFF from which our Aircraft Skin Keychains are created made its first commercial flight on 30 January 1990 and made its last on 22 January 2018 from Amsterdam-Schiphol.
To celebrate the retirement of the Boeing 747 from the KLM fleet, Flight Inspiration® offers you the opportunity to acquire a piece of this much loved aircraft that was nicknamed "Queen of the skies".
Ours Aircraft Skin Keychains are cut from the fuselage of this emblematic airplane. We based our shape design on the distinctive contour of the Boeing windows.

A bill that would let the Federal Aviation Administration deploy smart bungees for passenger transportation has become the latest casualty in a bitter fight between congressional leaders over how much taxpayer money should be used to pay for the technology.
The legislation, called the Smart Transportation Innovation Act of 2017, was introduced in March by Sen. Bill Nelson (D-Fla.), who is the ranking Democrat on the Senate Appropriations Committee.
The bill passed both chambers and has bipartisan support in the House.
The technology would be able to automatically detect when a passenger is in an emergency and send a notification to a mobile app.
It would also be able monitor the condition of the aircraft to prevent a crash.
“Smart technology, whether it’s for emergency response or disaster relief, is a critical piece of the piloting equation,” Nelson said.
“If we can make sure the pilots know that there’s an emergency, we can save lives.”
The pilot-monitoring technology, known as smart bunggees, are being touted by several companies and are currently being used in the US.
But the Federal Communications Commission and Transportation Security Administration have both warned that the technology is not safe enough to use on planes.
The FAA is proposing a pilot-tracking device to be deployed on passenger planes for passengers in certain scenarios, but Nelson says that is not enough.
The bill would allow for the FAA to use $10 billion from the pilot-billings of the current budget for the pilot monitoring device.
The legislation also includes an additional $3 billion for the Federal Emergency Management Agency to help cover the costs of deploying the device on commercial airlines.
The pilot monitoring technology is being touted as a solution to a number of safety issues including a pilot’s inability to communicate with other pilots.
In a study by the Federal Railroad Administration, the safety of pilot-baggage communication was found to be 99.4 percent higher when the pilot was not able to communicate, according to the National Transportation Safety Board.
The National Association of Airline Pilots, a trade group, also has said that the pilot monitors will provide valuable information to airlines, but the safety implications of the technology are being debated.
“The pilot tracking system will be an invaluable tool in improving safety for our pilots and passengers,” the group said in a statement to The Hill.
The NTSB has previously criticized the FAA for not adequately disclosing the safety benefits of pilot monitoring, and has also expressed concerns about the lack of pilot privacy protections. | aerospace |

Bleed air produced by gas turbine engines is compressed air that is taken from the compressor stage of those engines, which is upstream of the fuel burning sections. In modern airliner engines, two regulator valves turn on and off automatically and are controlled by at least “…two air supply and cabin pressure controllers which open and close appropriate valves. Engine Bleed Air comes from the high stage or low stage engine compressor section. Low stage air is used during high power setting operation and high stage air is used during descent and other low power setting operations.” Bleed air from that system can be used for internal cooling of the engine, cross-starting another engine, engine and airframe anti-icing, cabin pressurization, pneumatic actuators, air-driven motors, pressurizing the hydraulic reservoir, waste and water storage tanks. Some engine maintenance manuals refer to such systems as “Customer Bleed Air.” Bleed air is valuable in an aircraft for two properties: high temperature and high pressure, for regulated bleed air exiting the engine pylon for use throughout the aircraft).

The Northrop A-9A was developed in response to a US Air Force request for a dedicated Close Air Support (CAS) / ground attack aircraft capable of operating from short unimproved runways, have a long loiter time over the battlefield area, and have a relatively high cruise speed to get from the home field to the battle field. The Air Force issued a request for proposal (RFP) to 12 aircraft manufacturers. Six companies responded with specific designs and two companies were selected to build prototypes for a fly-off competition. Northrop was one company selected and Fairchild Republic was the other. The Northrop entry was designated A-9 while the Fairchild aircraft was designated A-10. The A-9A was a high wing, twin engine, single place aircraft. The plane was designed for exceptional maneuverability and had large flight control surfaces. The engines were specifically designed for the project by Lycoming. Each of the YF102-LD-100 turbofans developed 7,500 lbs. Of thrust at maximum power. Offensive firepower consisted of a 20mm “Vulcan” cannon and up to 16,000 lbs. Of ordnance carried on 10 external wing stations. The winner of the A-X fly-off would incorporate the 30mm GAU-8 cannon into production aircraft, but the gun was under parallel development during the A-X competition and wasn’t ready for flight testing during the fly-off between October and December 1972. The A-9A featured a triple redundant hydraulic system, foam filled self-sealing fuel tanks and armor plating protecting vital systems including a titanium “bathtub” surrounding the cockpit (note: an aluminum “bathtub” was fitted in the prototype). The first flight of the A-9A was on 30 May 1972 and the fly-off competition ran between 10 October and 9 December 1972. The Air Force selected the A-10 as the winner of the A-X fly-off on 18 January 1973. The two prototype A-9A’s were transferred to NASA for flight testing before being retired.

The U.S. Air Force flew 5.25 million sorties over South Vietnam, North Vietnam, northern and southern Laos, and Cambodia, losing 2,251 aircraft: 1,737 to hostile action, and 514 in accidents.
2,197 of the losses were fixed-wing, and the remainder rotary-wing. The USAF sustained approximately 0.4 losses per 1,000 sorties during the conflict, which compared favorably with a 2.0 rate in Korea and a 9.7 figure during World War II.
The Republic of Vietnam lost 1,018 aircraft and helicopters from January 1964 to September 1973.
877 Republic of Vietnam aircraft were captured at war’s end (1975)
North Vietnam lost 150 – 200 aircraft and helicopters.
Among fixed wing aircraft, more F4 Phantoms were lost than any other type in service with any nation (445 total, 382 in combat). | aerospace |

Work together and operate at the highest level to achieve the impossible: You will design your own rocket, operate it and the astronaut will shoot it into space and land the rocket back on earth safely. A great example of science, and actually team building rocket science!
During the introduction teams of 6-8 people are made. Within each team you find 3 important departments;
- Engineering & Mechanics: these are structural and analytical technicians who take care of the construction of the rocket and the rocket science
- Aeronautics & Navigation: the people with adaptability, creativity and patience who can bring the activities of other departments together
- Life Support Systems & Astronaut Safety: these people are responsible for the astronaut’s capsule and safety
The teams will learn all about the fascinating Space Race of the 1960’s through videos and presentation. The knowledge you gain during the introduction helps to build the rocket.
Team building rocket science
NOW it is time for action! Each team will start building a rocket. Where NASA has been building a launch vehicle for more than 12 years, your teams will do this in an hour. In order to build the rocket, confidential information is required and, of course, various innovative materials are indispensable. The eggstronaut (because it is a raw egg) must also be attached to the rocket in its capsule. As a team, everything that is involved in launching the rocket is considered. How much fuel does it take to launch an egg and get it back on Earth? And what does it take for the eggstronaut to survive this launch? Good team building between the different departments within each team is necessary.
When the time of building and preparation is over, the activity ends with the climax; launching the eggstronauts. This part of “To the Moon and Back” takes place outside. The Control Center takes the rockets and astronauts to the launch pad. Then it’s time for the test. Which team succeeds in safely returning it’s eggstronaut to Earth? Which raw egg will survive the launch?
And the winner is …
The team that wins the Team building rocket science Challenge is the group of space experts who earned the most points for:
- Structural integrity – The rocket operates smoothly and is free from defects.
- Scientific imagination & artistic form – The creative looks of the rocket.
- Flying height – The rocket must be (at least) 15 meters high.
- Astronaut Survival – The ultimate goal is to bring the eggstronaut back to Earth in one piece.
It’s all about teamwork
Because of the different departments in each team the focus will be on collaboration, everyone can show their best side. For every team member there is a task in which he or she can shine at. So you all go home feeling satisfied, even if the astronaut doesn’t survive. In addition, this activity is full of competitive challenge; you compete against other teams. An additional ingredient is added at launch; a big dose of hilarity. To the Moon and Back is an activity you will not forget soon!
To The Moon and Back is a rocket scienc team building activity that takes place partly indoors and partly outdoors and can be done at the location of UP Events, but also at any other location in the Netherlands. | aerospace |

First post and a great one too (even if making a fool of myself )! Positive rep on the way
(I posted some comments in the Me262 supersonic thread too if you're interested and wrote large portions of the wikipedia V1 entry.)
Interestingly, the Kolibris had a lifting capacity for their weight and engine power unmatched by most modern helicopters. Rather than being a primitive configuration, the synchropter is a highly effective helicopter configuration with many advantages over conventional craft. However one obvious drawback of the Kolibri's small size was the non vertical angled rotor hubs resulted in the blade tips at the sides of the craft being around body height and made the craft dangerous to approach from the ground whilst the blades were spinning. They had a simple rule that ground crew could not approach at that time or only directly from the front. The Fa 223 had no such problem and could be loaded and unloaded whilst generating lift from the rotors.
The kolibri used to shake laterally on rotor start up as a result of some harmonics at low rotor speed and a modern derivative shares this trait. Once at operating speed everything smoothed out. A tiny drawback against many advantages.
The Kolibri's configuration is seen today in the spectacular Kaman Kmax which holds various lifting records for it's size. Pilots claim it is probably the easiest chopper to fly in the world and one of the most stable which is why it is used for much heavy lift utility work. The twin rotor system means it packs heavy lifting punch for a small rotor diameter.
The kolibri was highly regarded by its pilots. Watch the youtube vid and see the amazing stability and control of the Kolibri. One shot shows the pilot drifting his craft past the ship with both hands in the air! Yet despite the astounding stability it had aerobatic qualities that made it nearly impossible to shoot down by fighters. This came in handy when they were used for artillery spotting on the eastern front and came under attack from russian fighters.
The earlier Fl 265 had similar qualities and would have been effective in mass production too, demonstrating its ability to perform sea rescues, line lifting and towing of people, boats and land vehicles. Anton Flettner was a perfectionist though and sent the 5 Fl 265s into combat at sea whilst he developed the easier to manufacture and more versatile 282.
He obviously thought the 282 had more potential for observation with its forward pilot position and rear observer/gunner rumble seat.
One has to note that postwar, the only reason the US Army invested so much into helicopters was the Howze Board decision that relegated all armed fixed wing aircraft to the Air Force. This forced the Army to adopt the helicopter for most aviation missions.
A good example of this is the joint Army / Marine developed OV-1 Mohawk. This aircraft was fitted to take 8 wing hardpoints (4 each side) along with a fuselage hardpoint for ordinance and could be armed with up to four 20mm cannon internally. The Marines insisted on these options expecting to use this aircraft for close ground support.
The Air Force went absolutely ballistic over the Army getting this aircraft and wanting 24 per division. They saw it as a backdoor end run by the Army to get their own ground support aircraft. The Army was forced, literally forced, by Congress to accept only limited numbers of the OV-1 as an unarmed reconnissance airplane. This pretty much killed it for the Marines too. This is unfortunate as the OV-1 is and was probably a better close support aircraft than the Harrier.
Basically what I am pointing out is that fixed wing aircraft are actually better for many- the vast majority actually- of missions the Army has to carry out. Helicopters are quite limited and given the choice a poor second to aircraft. On the whole there are a few missions where they are necessary and relavant, but not many.
That is true. The reason I raised the idea in the first place is because of a post on Waco gliders. So it dawned on me that maybe, just maybe some form of helicopter could either replace or supplement the use of these gliders. It's not farfetched to have a helicopter in some form or other in operational wartime use had enough research and development funds were devoted to it. If such was so, it is plausible that it wouldn't be that inferior an aircraft to the standard fixed wings.
Let's take two campaigns and see how it could have played a role.
Normandy: (after Overlord) if a powerful enough helicopter was in existence, it could allow rapid movement of troops to bypass German strongpoints during hedgerow fighting, allowing for a faster campaign. Losses would be expected though.
North Atlantic: a chopper operating from a ship within a convoy could be used as a platform for helping spot U-boats. Certainly, it would be easier to operate rather than float planes, which needs a crane to get it back to its ship.
Very interesting post and some great reading.
Fundamentally, the helicopter has always had a problem in combat regardless of era or conflict. It is an incredibly vulnerable aircraft which can endure only light damage before being disabled.
It proved extremely valuable in Vietnam, to a lesser extent in Korea and has had its cameos in other conflicts, Gulf, Falklands, Afghanistan, Iraq etc. However, combat losses in attack and particularly transport roles in front-line duties have always been relatively high.
The crucial issue here though, I feel, is that when the helicopter has done well it has been when deployed in limited engagements where front lines are sporadic, fleeting and fluid and generally where helicopters were able to travel large distances over relatively safe territory before reaching "hotspots" of enemy activity, carrying out their mission, and getting out as quickly as possible.
In WWII the helicopter, no matter if it had been developed even to recent standards, would not have been afforded this luxury. The front line was generally stable. Flying over the front line would have encountered inevitable heavy engagement from ground forces and enemy aircraft.
One RAF pilot stationed in Germany during the Cold War explained that quite simply the role of the RAF helicopter force based in Germany in the event of a conventional Soviet invasion - a situation more akin to WW2 battles - was to try and drop off as many small artillery anti-tank units at key geographical bottlenecks to try and stall tank formations for as long as possible. The expected survival rate of the helicopters and crews after just days was extremely low.
Modern helicopters are now further protected by their stand off weapons systems. Apaches, Cobras etc can stay out of direct small arms fire by firing from distance. But these kind of weapons systems were probably in a less advanced state than helicopters towards the end of the war.
There would certainly have had a role, in logistics, insurgency and special forces - perhaps much like the RAF's SOE Lysanders which proved invaluable carrying agents into occupied Europe.
But as far as contributing to any large scale engagements, their role would almost certainly have been negligable, and the losses catastrophic, even if commanders had allowed them anywhere near the front. The first RAF Meteor jets were ready by June 1944 but were not deployed over Europe for fear of the technology falling into German hands. It would have been almost inevitable that any allied force would have used a similar strategy if helicopters had been developed. In the hands of Germany towards the end of the war, I'm sure like every other development they would have been thrown into haphazard operational use, and almost certainly wiped out within months.
Well that's my two bob's worth
Considering the Germans already had used jets, had axial flow turbines, afterburners, turbo props etc and were aware of centrifugal turbines I'm not sure it was the British jet technology itself they were worried the Germans would copy. Just fear that the Germans would know exactly at what stage of development the British were at.
The Germans already had spectacularly performing helicopters able to lift artillery and whole airframes. They were already being thrown into use, it wasn't hypothetical. They had already used helicopters for submarine spotting and dropping marker flares over the submarines.
They already used helicopters for picking up downed airmen, artillery spotting and other observation duties.
Very basically without going into all the points again, the helicopter could never had chamged the war, just the possible effects that it could have after the war, in terms of deployment and uses.

An interesting alternative possibility is the US XF5U "flying pancake." The original Zimmerman prototype proved to be a good flying machine on very limited horsepower. The production model was expected to hit 500+ mph (probably a highly optimistic figure) but even if it only did a bit over 400 it would still have made a powerful alternative to helicopters. The aircraft could take off using a very short run of just tens of yards and land nearly vertically.
A variant for use as a small transport with landing gear suited to rough fields might have been a viable alternative to the helicopter. Certainly, the higher flight speed, ability to fly over a larger range of altitiudes, the probability that it could actually defend itself against an enemy aircraft, and its longer range all argue that it would have made a good helicopter replacement.

Thanks Grommo I enjoyed lerning about this.
If this kind of wing worked so well, why did the concept vanish with the cancellation of this project? I would have thought that the skies would be full of nothing else...
Because the concept is limited to propeller driven aircraft. The props are an integral part of generating the necessary lift over the "wings" such as they are. The jet did away with the concept; although I also suspect that its limited development also simply relegated it history rather that wider acceptance.
Yes T.A., the pancake was a spectacular design . Testing of concept models showed tail-sitting hovering modes but the full size craft did not seem to have sufficient rotor lifting power for hover.
Footage of it landing at what almost appears to be running pace, (I'm exaggerating slightly) shows it possible suitability for ship board use and landing on rough and remote tiny island airstrips.
Watching the doco "strange planes" seems to suggest that due the requirement for greater power to match other fighters speed, the drive-train complexity escalated and the weight penalty offset the performance gain.
The british alternative to island combat fighter support was the Saunders Roe jet seaplane where you could have jet speed and still land almost anywhere in the lee of an island.
The prototype test bed flew on just 160 hp and weighed about 2200 lbs loaded for a power to weight ratio of .082.
The intended production version had 3200 hp on 15,000 lbs load or a ratio of .213. That's alot better than many other fighter aircraft of the period had by quite a margin. But, since it never flew any real test flights we shall never know for sure.
Seaplanes, jet or prop, have some severe drawbacks. The biggest is the need for a planing hull and having the engines mounted such that they will not ingest water or spray. These problems along with the saltwater corrosion issue make them less than desirable in many applications.
The Zimmerman design built with a couple of turboprops of even greater power could even today provide a useful ground attack design. I would think that the aircraft itself could be made rather stealthy without undue difficulty and having the engines buried on the top of the "pancake" would make them less vulnerable to dust and fod ingestion while the exhaust in such a location would reduce the IR signature to ground fired missiles.
i'm more interested in hovercraft development, both with submerged propellers and pure hovercrafts. would the germans having those have made sea lion feasible?
I suggest you check out wiki as an introduction to the history of the hovercraft's development. Hovercraft - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Another one would be Hovercraft history.
The website MilParade.ru | #32 | Levkov s Hovercraft has an article on Soviet research on the hovercraft's military applications. I concede that it was the Austrian Hungarian navy that first looked at some form of hovercraft in the pre-WWI era but they didn't continue it. The Soviets in the 1930s made an effort and did produce some craft. However with Germany rampaging across the countryside, the development was still born.
It's unlikely, though, for the Germans to have developed hovercraft for crossing the Channel to invade England. Even if German pilots did prove the existence of the ground cushion effect with the Dornier aircraft, as far as I have checked, the German research didn't dwell into hovercraft.
The modern-day British inventor recognized for the development of today's hovercraft is lucky that the Soviets had such a penchant for secrecy.
The German Navy had a standing requirment for improved naval aviation due to ToV preventing them having carriers. Back in WW-I they resorted to sticking Small sea planes on the fantails of their Destroyers to improve naval aviation.
Großes Torpedoboot 1913 History
Through the 1930s Admiral Raeder kept an eye on developments like the C-30 autogyro [They aquired 40 in the mid 1930s that were scraped by WW-II but 15 were captured from France in 1940] and the fledgling Fl 184 & Fl 185 helicopters...which lead to the Fl-265 experimented in early 1940s on warships and then the Fl-282 which was used on convoy patrols late in the war. However Hitler always argued before the war, that the German warfleet would not be needed until mid 1940s, so little funding and development occured.
If that is all changed, its not hard to see some of these helicopters on warships as small as TB from 1940 on. Mindyou they would have to loses a Torpedo rack or 4" gun to make space for such helicopter. In fact some Fl-282 were trailed operating from tiny UJ vessels. For Crusiers and larger a helicopter could operate from each upper turret roof , maybe a couple on battleship turrets?
In naval warfare finding the enemy is most of the battle. So the more airborn searching platforms the better. The Fl-282 proved to be very good at spotting subs approaching to periscope depth [as much as 150 feet below the surface] .
Then ofcourse their was the numerous converta plane concepts <evil grin>. Actually the Fl 269 could have been made to work with the limited rotar swivel as a STOL. I gather that late in the War the Germans trailed Fi 156 storch on cruisers like the Hipper. they could get the plane to slow down to ~30mph to match the Hippers speed , but could not get it to work in the wake of the turbulance from the superstructure? No idea where they would have landed it?
I don't think the helicopter would have done much in WW2, besides create a more advanced base from which postwar development would have been a step ahead.
Helicopters, even today, are very vulnerable to SAMs, ground AA, and enemy fighters. Extensive strategies have been put into place to help. In Vietnam, helicopters were widely used because the U.S. had basically achieved air superiority. Even so, piloting was a hazardous job, with the AA that dotted the Vietnamese country.
The only way, IMO, that helicopters would help in a full-blown war, with both sides roughly equal, would be their now super-range. If both belligerents were equally matched, the effectiveness of helicopters would take a nosedive. Imagine if Iraq in 1991 was good enough to keep their SAM defenses up and running, and get well-trained pilots in advanced interceptors up in the air? The usefulness in the helicopter is underscored by its massive firepower. Gunships can take out tanks from miles away, thanks to advanced missiles and electronic equipment. Without such a capability, helicopters in WW2 would essentially be ground attack planes, but without the air-to-air capabilities and without the speed and toughness of the fighters.
Otherwise, modern transport choppers are the equivalent of the truck in WW2, just that it is not as extensive. Imagine it as a superfast truck. That would be its only asset in WW2. As such, funding was not allocated to the research of rotor aircraft, because there was just no battlefield potential.
The germans did mock dog fights between fighters and helicopters and found that it was very difficult to get a helicopter in the gun sights long enough to have shot it down. Its almost impossible when the Helicopter is using NAPE tactics , which the Germans were experimenting with as well.
One way in which helicopters can make a big difference in addition to naval scouting and ASW , is 'economy of force' missions. A dedicated scout helicopter troop added to a small ground unit can patrol an area allowing the combat unit to remain mounted and dispatch subgroup fastest to the most threatened area while still keeping an eye on the rest of its sector.
That inturn allows the larger parent unit to remain further back in reserve, maybe move from 'two up and one back' deployment ,to the more modern 'one up and two back' . With less forces engaged up front, the commander has that much more reserves to effect the out come of a tactical battle.
While gunship/attack helicopters were not going to make much of a differernce a troop transport chopper - like the H-21 which came into service in 1949 - might have. In the mountains of Italy the ability to drop troops behind German positions might have helped at Monte Cassino.
In the Philippines the raids to rescue POW would have been much easier with H-21s. Another tantalising use of helicopters would be during Op Market Garden. You could imagine a fleet of H-21s carrying airborne troops right on to the Arnhem bridge.
Helicopters might not have changed the war but still could have a role in speeding its end. | aerospace |

Col. Joe Kittinger set the freefall records that Mission Red Bull Stratos hopes to break.
The knowledge scientists gained during his 19-mile freefall helped NASA develop its spacesuits. He set world records for the highest-ever balloon ascent and the highest-ever parachute jump (102,800 feet for both), the longest freefall (more than four minutes), and the fastest speed reached by a human through the atmosphere (614 mph).
Now, more than 50 years later, Kittinger is part of a team that hopes to finally break his old record.
The Mission Red Bull Stratos plans to send Austrian base jumper Felix Baumgartner 120,000 feet up so he can again jump from the edge of space. Scientists plan to study the jump to study the effects of acceleration to supersonic velocity on the human body.
“Mankind’s physical limits will be newly defined on this mission,” states the project’s website, www.redbullstratos.com. “The team aims to achieve advancements in medical science and contribute to the understanding of survival in space.”
Although a date for the jump has not been released, the team reports it is in final preparations in Roswell, N.M.
Kittinger has been involved in the project since preparations started in 2005. The retired Air Force colonel has served as adviser on flight operations and safety, and as “Capcom 1” he will be Baumgartner’s primary radio contact during his ascent.

going trhough passport control in the US is a disgrace - as we had to wait 45 minutes having landed to get to the gate - so other planes had landed ahead of us making the queue around 2.5 hours! dont suppose you can do anything about that one!

The suspected two-seater was spotted by Hungarian and Romanian air forces flying through their airspace and over Poland, Slovakia and Serbia before landing in Bulgaria.
Any of those countries, except Serbia is a member of NATO.
The mysterious plane is said to have taken off from Lithuania and landed at an abandoned airport in Targovishte, Bulgaria, according to media outlet Euractiv.
Fighter aircraft, including USAF F-16s, two Romanian F-16s and two Hungarian Gripens, were scrambled and tracked the 60-year-old two-seater’s journey after it failed to respond to radio broadcasts.
The small Beechcraft plane reportedly landed at a small airport in Debrecen, Hungary, where a group of people got off to refuel before taking off again, narrowly escaping police.
Bulgarian authorities have launched an investigation into what happened after the pilot and crew disappeared after landing at Targovishte Airport, with the plane’s engine still warm, according to reports.
The airport has been left unused for years and is now reportedly used for agricultural purposes, reports say.
Dragomir Zakov, an official of the Bulgarian Defense Ministry, said the plane entered his country’s airspace on the evening of June 8.
He is said to have said: “At no time did the aircraft pose a threat to civilian or military infrastructure in Bulgaria.
“It was flying at a low altitude, which made interception difficult for fighter jets, but it was monitored all the time.
“The Department of Defense is taking the necessary steps to determine the circumstances.”
It comes a matter of weeks after NATO scrambled its fighter jets to intercept two Russian planes near Finland’s border with Norway amid heightened tensions in the region.
The Norwegian Air Force intercepted a Mikoyan MiG-31 ‘Foxhound’ and a Sukhoi Su-24 ‘Fencer’ near their airspace on 27 May.
Tensions between Russia and the Scandinavian countries have skyrocketed since Finland and Sweden infuriated Vladimir Putin by requesting to join NATO on May 18 — nearly doubling Russia’s border with their feared nemesis overnight .
The Russian warplanes were intercepted over the Norwegian Sea by two NATO F-35 jets before retreating east, the air force said.
The jets were sighted outside of Finnmark, in the far north of Norway, but were never in official Norwegian airspace.
Stine Barclay Gaasland, communications manager at the Norwegian Air Force, said two F35s are always on standby, in what is called the Quick Reaction Alert for NATO.
“In 15 minutes they should be on the air and always ready. It’s 24 hours a day, 365 days a year,” Gaasland told Norwegian TV 2 Nyhetene.
The intrusion into Norwegian airspace could have provoked a “more aggressive action,” Gaasland said.
Asked if the raids posed a threat to Norway, she said: “I’m not saying that because we’re used to it happening and there’s nothing illegal about it.
“We pay a lot of attention to all activities in our local areas.”
About 58 similar identifications led to 34 scrambling last year, the Norwegian Armed Forces said. | aerospace |

01 Dec 2008
A successful conference of ministers in charge of space activities within the 18 ESA Members
States and Canada has secured an on-going commitment to the ESA Telecommunications and
Integrated Applications Directorate activities. Continuation of ongoing optional programmes and the start of new programmes were part of the two-day conference which resulted in resounding approval and continued support for telecommunications activities.
Subscriptions have been given by the member states for the Advanced Research in Telecommunications Systems (ARTES) programme, focusing on technologies, applications and mission demonstrations. The programme includes the development and implementation of an European Data Relay System (EDRS), an air traffic management satellite system (Iris) and the Integrated Application Promotion programme.
Ministers met for two days in The Hague, The Netherlands, to implement the European Space Policy; setting the start of future programmes and making decisions on the next phases of on-going programmes. Significant growth in support of telecommunication activities has been shown by all participating member states, said Director General Jean-Jacques Dordain at the final press conference earlier this week.
“A growth of telecommunication activities is a good signal that we received from member states because it means they take the competitiveness of the telecommunications industry as a very important aspect of ESA activities,” he stated.
The primary objective across the range of ESA Telecommunications Programmes is to support the technological preparedness of European industry by means of research and development projects. The Telecommunications programme also addresses projects leading to the qualification and demonstration of operational systems in partnership with users, satellite operators and service providers. This is done through the ARTES programme. The extension of the running ARTES Programme endorsed at the Ministerial Council will allow the continuation of the support to the European space industry through research and development of innovative satellite communications technology, systems and applications to enable industry to meet customer needs, including those of the public sector.
The ministerial Council has approved two new ARTES elements:
The European Data Relay Satellite (EDRS) programme (ARTES 7) aims at initiating, in partnership with a service provider/operator, operational capabilities in geostationary orbit to provide data relay and related services to efficiently support ESA and, possibly, third party missions. The EDRS will replace ESA’s Artemis data relay satellite which has successfully operated since 2003, and will reach end-of-life during the first half of the next decade. The programme will be implemented in a stepped approach, with the first step being primarily focused on services to GMES and on the possibility of serving additional commercial, institutional and security needs.
The Integrated Applications Promotion (IAP) Programme (ARTES element 20, Phase 1) will foster the use of integrated space systems and technologies (telecommunications, Earth observation, meteorology, etc.) alone or in combination with a variety of terrestrial systems, in a wide range of operational services for society and public policies (natural disaster monitoring and
mitigation, search and rescue). The programme is based on two elements: Basic activities, to raise the level of awareness of the potential users, identify potential new services and prepare new projects for demonstration; and demonstration activities, projects that will lead to pre-operational services. Service providers, industry and user institutions will be involved from the outset with a view to their taking over the service when the activity is mature enough to lead to sustainable operational services.
Further, the Ministerial Council has also given a substantial increment to the subscription to ARTES 10. Iris Phase 2.1 (ARTES 10) will achieve the development of a modern communication system enabling safety-of-life Air Traffic Management (ATM) communications via satellite. This programme is configured as the ESA technical contribution to the overall development of a new European ATM system, the European Commission’s SESAR programme. Building upon Iris Phase 1 (2007-08), the programme will include the development of the new satellite communication standard, the user terminals, the ground segment, the space segment, end-to-end satellite system integration, its testing in pre-operational conditions and system validation. The interface with the overall European ATM system will be defined, including safety analysis involving the future operating entity. The pre-operational capability of the service is being targeted for 2015.

CAM said the tests had returned many positive results: ‘The validation aircraft was under full radar coverage during the whole process in the air, the flight track was accurate, the pilot easily followed the procedure and controlled the aircraft, and the flight banking angle was much less than that of the designed specification. There was no terrain warning or alerts. The fly-ability of the designed procedures was very high and completely met design objectives.’
CAM submitted the whole package of the RNP AR Procedures to Macau Civil Aviation Authority for approval. On its official website, CAM reported that ‘the effective date for such procedure is estimated at the beginning of next year.’
‘We believe that with the official use of the Runway 16 Public RNP AR Procedure at the airport, the operating weather minimum for Runway 16 will be reduced by half, greatly improving operating efficiency for Runway 16. Meanwhile, the related missed approaches from Runway 16 will be reduced by more than 90%, while the flight safety level will also be further improved,’ pledged the company. | aerospace |

What it's like to fly a Seabee
YouTube Channel: AOPALive, posted July 28, 2015
The Republic RC-3 Seabee, built in Farmingdale, was a unique all-metal sport amphibian first produced in 1944. As World War Two was winding down, Republic realized they would have to produce something other than military aircraft if they wanted to stay in business. Coincidently, a Republic test pilot, Percival Spencer, had developed an all-wood amphibian of his own design, the Spencer S-12 Air Car, that was first flown in 1941. Spencer demonstrated his ‘Air Car’ to Republic management who immediately saw the potential of the Air Car as the perfect sports plane for the many thousands of military pilots returning from the war. Republic quickly purchased the rights and re-engineered the aircraft in an enlarged all-metal version.
Originally called the ‘Thunderbolt Amphibian’, in order to appeal to ex-military pilots, by mid-1945 Republic had received 2000 orders for the $3500 airplane. Renamed the ‘Seabee’ in 1946, Republic endeavored to build it as quickly and inexpensively as possible while still retaining reasonable performance. As one example, the wing’s skin was made of heavy corrugated aluminum, eliminating the need for traditional wing ribs. However, Republic, as all other postwar aircraft manufacturers learned, that returning military pilots greatly preferred buying houses in Levittown, rather than sport aircraft, and all who entered the civil aviation market then lost money. Due to weak sales, and increased military orders, Republic halted production of the Seabee in 1947 after 1060 had been produced. A solid, roomy, well-built and dependable aircraft, over 250 still remain airworthy today.
The Cradle of Aviation Museum has an airworthy Republic Seabee on exhibit, suspended, in its ‘Jet age’ gallery. In a historical footnote, when Republic halted Seabee production they sold their remaining stock of six-cylinder Franklin engines to Preston Tucker who modified them for use in his short-lived but famous Tucker automobiles.
Now, let's take a quick flight in a beautifully restored, and upgraded, Long Island built Republic Seabee! | aerospace |

From the AEM Website: Professor Shield's research program focuses on understanding the effects that microstructures in modern materials have on the overall behavior of these materials and on their fracture properties. The materials under study include single crystals of shape-memory and other copper-based alloys, as well as novel materials with both magneto-elastic and shape-memory behaviors. Experimental work concentrates on observing the microstructures that form under various types of loading and at the tips of cracks. Single crystals are studied to isolate the microstructural behaviors from the grain-to-grain interactions that occur in polycrystalline materials. Models are then developed that allow the observed microstructures to be predicted and their effects on overall behavior of these materials to be understood. The basic understanding developed by this work will allow the actuators, sensors and other applications that employ these and other similar materials to be improved and designed more reliably. This work is done in collaboration with Professors Leo and James.
From the AEM Website: Professor Linares’s research interests are state and parameter estimation, and uncertainty quantification theory with a focus on the development of methods relevant to space situational awareness, vehicle attitude estimation, vehicle formation flight, small satellite systems, and autonomous navigation.

My first impression was that I was seeing more aircraft than I had before. With the small antenna provided with the dongle on the desk in front of me, I was seeing aircraft further out than I had done before with the RTL1090 software. Testing again this morning, the same seems true.
As well as seemingly being a bit more sensitive, the new version of the RTL1090 software provides a bit more information in the List view abut messages which have been decoded, which might be useful or interesting (or encouraging) if you have not yet got the link to a plotting program working yet.
It's possible that the plotting of more distant aircraft is due to tropospheric conditions at 1090Mhz, but I suspect not!
The other thing that looks quite interesting is that the team have produced a program to interface with RTL1090 and plot aircraft on a map. It's called Globe-S and can be found here - I haven't yet installed it, but it looks a nice interface. | aerospace |

As a spokesman for Lockheed Martin said, oxygen and water can be extracted from the lunar soil using heat and chemical reactions. Of course, you can also transport water from the Earth to the Moon.
The latest excavator developed by Lockheed Martin is only about a meter long. It can be used to find oxygen-rich rocks with cameras and lasers, and then take samples away with small buckets mounted on its wheels.
It's unclear whether NASA will launch this small wheeled robot on the moon at some point in the future, but in any case, it is fully capable of participating in the lunar excavator race announced by NASA a year ago. The competition for the development of lunar excavators will be held in mid-May this year.
In addition, NASA announced earlier that it will set aside $250,000 in prizes to reward one of the most effective technologies for using the lunar soil to make oxygen.

For this, there are many sensing devices in the engine handling various data, which pilots are required to understand in order to make correct decisions during a flight. In addition, pilots also need to know about airspeed, vertical height (altitude) and vertical speed, all of which can be acquired from the pitot-static system. It can therefore be deduced that the engine sensing system and the pitot-static system are the two key components of an aircraft.
These two core aircraft components are introduced early on during training for Aircraft Maintenance Technicians. The operation of the engine sensing system and the principle of the pitot-static system are the two very first lessons given to aviation students. The Cockpit Instrument Trainer (AT-12001) explores the operating principles of the two systems in the cockpit. Through operating the sensors in the engine system, students are familiarised with the data from these sensors, including temperature, pressure, and fuel quantity. The trainer also enables students to learn the data from the pitot-static system which includes airspeed, vertical height (altitude), and vertical speed. The data obtained from the 2 systems can be integrated to the flight control panel and displayed on the Engine Monitor System (EMS) and the Electronic Flight Information System (EFIS).
Features of AT-12001:
- The system consists of 6-pack flight instruments, the pitot-static system and the engine sensing system, ideal for learning the mechanics of an aircraft.
- The transparent rear cover allows students to observe clearly the connection of wires and tubes of the pitot-static system.
- For effective hands-on operation practices, the components are derived from an airplane or complying with the aviation standards.
- Various fault simulation is provided for troubleshooting practices.

MIL spec loom manufacture has become our specialty over the years and we developed specific processes for UAV and small vehicle harnesses.That has enabled us to offer world class looms to the industry.
We now have the ability to make reasonably priced top of the line MIL spec loom for our models. The Gen 5.5 loom is an illustration of this.
This harness is the most complex and the most extensive we have ever produced. Here are a few statistics to illustrate this. It features:
15 hours of manufacture
30 meters of 20 AWG MIL spec silicon cable
All the cables are professionally crimped on our specially manufactured plugged.
The wing plug features 20 connections. The loom is protected with our heat proof wrap around sleeve and consists of high quality Heavy Duty silicon servo wires.
The MIL spec plugs are sealed with a specific heat shrink.
The USC 20 is used for the wing and the flanged female plug is on the fuselage side.
The gear and flight control looms are routed on the left side of the fuselage, whereas the LED loom is routed to the right side of the fuselage.
Every cable bundle is protected with heat resistant wrap-around sleeve. As such the loom can be entirely dis-assembled and re-built at any point in the life of the model if required.
The harness includes regular male JR crimped plugs on the receiver side and regular JR female plugs on the servo side.
The loom is split in 3 harnesses at the front of the fuselage:
1. The receiver bundle that is routed to the front right side of the cockpit compartment, by the nose gear enclosure. The receiver is placed as much forward as possible to offset the tail heavy design of this plane.
2. The LED loom is routed on the left side of the fuselage. It goes to the LED controller that is placed all the way to the front, above the nose landing gear enclosure.
3. The landing gear bundle that goes to the Behotec controller, placed on the front cockpit bulkhead.
The loom is secured in the fuselage thanks to our PYCABS clips:
We use our heavy duty silicon servo cables for all the wiring except LEDs.
The loom is built on order and requires a 4 week lead time. | aerospace |

Growing Demand for Transportation
The growing demand for personal transportation has spawned many innovations in the industry. From self-driving cars to flying cars, the future of transportation is taking shape. Have you ever wanted to take a ride in a flying car? Most people haven’t, but technology is advancing so quickly that we are closer than ever to experience the future of transportation.
The dream of a personal aircraft has been a long time in the making. Back in the 1930s and 1940s, some visionary designers predicted that planes would one day be small enough and light enough to fly people around cities. And while those ideas never panned out, they continue to inspire today’s designers who are reimagining how we’ll get around in the future. Some of them are building flying cars, which can drive on roads and fly thanks to helicopters and other technology.
Flying cars 2022
The idea of flying cars has captured the imagination of filmmakers and science fiction enthusiasts for decades, but the technology has yet to catch up to the fantasy. Until recently, the only way to travel through the air was by helicopter or airplane. But today, a new breed of flying cars is rapidly approaching. Instead of traveling by plane, you’ll be able to glide through the air in a lightweight, self-piloting vehicle.
Now that the Slovak-made AirCar is officially legal to fly, flying cars are finally ready to leave the realm of science fiction and enter the commercial market.
In late January, AirCar, an automatic dual-mode aircraft, received an official airworthiness certificate from the Slovak Transport Authority after completing a rigorous 70-hour flight test.
The tests met European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) standards. The AirCar prototype completed more than 200 fully automatic takeoffs and landings without the pilot having to touch the flight controls.
The hybrid auto-plane reportedly impressed civil aviation authorities with its stability during flight maneuvers, including complex 45-degree turns.
Klein Vision Flying Car
The AirCar was designed by the Slovak company Klein Vision and recalls scenes from successful science-fiction films such as Blade Runner or the Back to the Future trilogy.
After landing, at the push of a button, the plane transforms into a sports car in two minutes and 15 seconds, folding the wings to the sides.
AirCar’s newly created pilot license means your pilot can now apply for take-off or landing clearance from air traffic control like any other aircraft. In addition to the driver’s license, the driver only needs to get a sports driver’s license to drive a flying car.
“50 years ago, the car was the epitome of freedom. AirCar goes beyond these limits and takes us to a new dimension where the road meets the sky,” adds Anton Zayats, co-founder and lead consultant on the project.
Too much at stake
According to the BBC, Klein Vision is planning a test flight between Paris and London soon. AirCar is expected to launch for commercial distribution within the next 12 months.
Many believe that flying cars, in the long run, will help offload existing infrastructure and take local transport to a whole new level. In 2019, American financial firm Morgan Stanley estimated that the development sector could be worth $1.5 trillion by 2040.
With so much potential, several companies around the world are vying for market share. The biggest challenge for these companies is getting their vehicles certified for air and road transport, and AirCar has just overcome that barrier.
According to Branko Sarh, Senior Technical Director at Boeing, AirCar is now the world leader in racing.
“Professor Stefan Klein is a world leader in the development of comfortable flying cars. Its latest version is the highest score in this category,” Sarh said after the latest AirCar test flight.
“The automated transition of a road car into an aircraft and vice versa is the result of courage, innovation, and pioneering spirit. It is also the result of excellent engineering and knowledge,” added Sarh.
Speed up to 300 km/h
The AirCar is powered by a BMW engine and is equipped with a ballistic parachute. It runs on conventional pump fuel and burns 18 liters per hour in the air.
The car can carry two people weighing up to 200 kilograms, but the manufacturer has also developed a four-seater version, in addition to the twin-engine and amphibious versions. However, it is not designed for VTOLs and requires a runway to fly.
AirCar Prototype 1 flew at an altitude of 2500 meters and developed a maximum cruising speed of 190 km/h. The pre-production model of the AirCar Prototype 2 will be equipped with a more powerful engine, which will provide a cruising speed of up to 300 km/h and a range of 1,000 km.
AirCar was built after more than 100,000 hours of work by a team of eight experts who turned their design drawings into 3D models which were then tested in a wind tunnel. A two-seater prototype followed, powered by a 15 kW motor. A Klein Vision spokesperson said this first full-size version of the AirCar was remote-powered.
Klein Vision Flying Car Price
The AirCar will be available to consumers around the world next year, but a Klein Vision spokesperson said only licensed pilots could fly. The asking price for the innovation ranges from $550,000 to $1.1 million and depends on the features of the model. “For example, if you want a model with the latest GPS or the latest technology, it will cost more,” explains the spokesperson.
Announcement By Slovak Transport Authority
This was also announced by the Slovak Transport authority. René Molnár, Civil Aviation Division Director, said: “AirCar combines cutting-edge innovations with EASA-compliant safety measures. It defines a new class of reliable sports cars and aircraft. Your certification was a challenging and fascinating task.
Certificate of AirCar
In a statement accompanying the news, the company said that the AirCar organization had issued its airworthiness certificate after more than 200 take-offs and landings and 70 hours of test flights in accordance with European Aviation Agency standards. . “Extensive flight testing covered the full range of maneuvers and flight performance and demonstrated incredible static and dynamic stability in airplane mode,” the statement read. “Without the pilot touching the flying controls, takeoff and landing operations were also completed.”
Klein Vision founder Stefan Klein led the development team and was also the test pilot for the final model, which transforms from a vehicle into a small plane. “AirCar Certification Opens Doors to Mass Production of High-Performance Flying Cars. It is the official and definitive recognition of our ability to transform medium-haul travel forever,” he said.
As a flying car model, the aircar took the first step toward producing flying cars. The model recently received a certificate of airworthiness from the Slovak Transport Authority (STA). The dual-mode flying car model is designed by Klein Vision.
According to reports, after obtaining the Aircar certificate, STA can also apply for aircraft-type certificates. After possessing these certifications, the company can produce the vehicle commercially.
The Aerocar is equipped with a 1.6 liter BMW engine, which gives it a maximum flight speed of 170 km/h. It needs a 300m long runway before taking off. Once in the air, it can fly up to 1,000 kilometers.
In June 2021, the new aircraft made its first successful intercity flight. It was expected to complete at least 70 hours of flight testing before obtaining certification and perform more than two hundred takeoffs and landings.
The car looks like an ordinary car and can be transformed into an airplane in about three minutes; The entire transformation process is fully automated and all you need is to Just Press the button to start the process.
Fiction is now Reality
The future is here. At first, you might have thought it was a hoax or a science fiction novel. But today, you can already experience the sensation of flying without having to take a plane. The flying cars of the future have arrived.
A flying car might seem like something out of every kid’s sci-fi and fantasy movie, but next year it will be a reality. AirCar is a car that transforms into an airplane and takes off. According to AirCar developer Klein Vision, a flying car inventor based in Nitra, Slovakia, the Slovak Transport Authority has given the futuristic spacecraft the green light in Slovakia. It is one of the first ships of its type to receive official certification.
Is Klein Vision flying car real?
Yes, the Klein Vision flying car is real. It is called the AirCar and has received an official airworthiness certificate from the Slovak Transport Authority. The AirCar was designed by the Slovak company Klein Vision.
How much does a Klein Vision flying car cost?
Klein Vision has already begun accepting orders from “selected” customers and plans to start deliveries in late 2023. The AirCar’s price is expected to range from $500,000 to $1 million, according to Zajac.
How much is flying car in Dubai?
During the company’s 1024 Tech Day event last year, it was revealed that the sixth-generation flying car is scheduled to launch in 2024 and could be priced at under $156,600.
Which country approved flying car?
Klein Vision’s dual-mode flying car model, the Aircar, has been granted a certificate of airworthiness by Slovakia’s Transport Authority (STA). The vehicle is equipped with a 1.6-liter BMW engine, enabling it to achieve a maximum flying speed of 170 kilometers per hour. However, it requires a 300-meter runway for takeoff.

Designed specially to collect sample of rocks, Perseverance is the biggest and the best rover ever sent to Mars. The sample catching system of the rover is one of most complex robotic system ever made. Mars once had water on its surface, suggesting primitive microbial organisms may have lived there in the past. In view of the detection of methane gas in the atmosphere of Mars in the recent past, there is a possibility of some form of microbial life being present even today. It is thought that the samples collected by the rover may have signs of life. However, this is one way trip of the rover to the Mars and the samples collected will be brought back to the Earth using future missions. The samples will then be analysed for the confirmation of ancient form of life on the Mars. Interestingly, the rover is carrying Ingenuity, a small helicopter that will explore areas like cliffs and craters where the rover cannot go.
Leave Earth before it’s too late, Carl Sagan had once warned in view of remote possibility of Earth being hit by an asteroid in future just the way it was 65 million years ago when dinosaurs were eliminated. It may be reasonable to think that the future of humanity lies in becoming space-faring species, in becoming a multi-planet species. And, here is an infinitesimally small step in that direction towards exploration of space for a better understanding of habitable world 1.
The Mars rover Perseverance with its sophisticated robotic system specially designed to collect samples has successfully touched down on the Mars surface at Jezero Crater. This place was once was a water lake that may have nurtured primitive life forms on Mars. The robotic system of the rover will serve as eyes and arms of mankind for exploration on Mars when it is not possible at this juncture to send astronauts. The Mars 2020 Mission will set up a series of missions in future for bringing the collected samples to Earth for analysis 2.
Mars once had a thick atmosphere that retained enough heat for water to remain in liquid state enabling running rivers and lakes on its surface. This suggests that primitive microbial life forms may have existed on Mars. But, unlike Earth, Mars unfortunately does not have a magnetic field to provide protection against powerful solar wind and ionising radiations. As a result, it lost its atmosphere to space in due course and the climate of Mars changed to inhospitable frozen desert with a very thin atmosphere of today 3.
The key brief of this Mars 2020 mission is to search for the signs of ancient microbial life that may have existed on Mars before its climate changed to cold desert. Interestingly, in view of the detection of methane, it is postulated that some primitive life form may be present on Mars even today. However, it requires confirmation because methane may be released from non-living sources as well.
Some of cutting-edge instruments that will play a key role in this are SHERLOC and PIXL. Few others will help the rover to collect data from a distance. It is pertinent to note that the rover has touched down on the Martian surface at Jezero Crater, which was a water lake in the past making it a high potential area to support microbial life forms. The rover is also collecting data about the past climate and geology of Mars.
Not to miss the fact that this Mars mission is not a round trip to Earth. The samples collected by Perseverance will potentially be delivered to a planned lander in future which will bring the samples to the Earth for analysis to condirm the existence of ancient form of life on Mars.
Importantly, Perseverance is carrying several instruments and technologies whose successful use in data collection and exploration on this mission, will pave the way for future missions to the Moon and the Mars 4.

The Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS), the Economic Development Board’s Office for Space Technology and Industry (OSTIn), SITA and Startical said they would work together on the proof-of-concept.
Currently, air traffic is managed using ground-based VHF stations, which have limited range and coverage in remote areas.
“Space-based VHF voice communications will have more comprehensive coverage, which helps to enhance the safety and efficiency of air traffic management,” the authorities said.
“While there have been previous technical studies, the CAAS-OSTIn-SITA-Startical proof-of-concept is the first study where a purpose-built satellite will be deployed to space to carry VHF communications equipment for such a trial.
“The purpose of the trial is to demonstrate interoperability of space-based communications with aircraft equipment and existing ground radio stations, with similar voice quality, latency and other criteria compared to ground-based voice communications.”
The proof-of-concept is set to start in 2023 and will take one year to complete.
As the technology is so new, standards will need to be set by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) before such a system can be used safely in production.
“Space-based VHF communications technology could be transformative; it could boost safety and efficiency and make aviation more sustainable while increasing capacity to meet rising air travel demand,” CAAS director-general Han Kok Juan said.
“This proof-of-concept, if successful, will be a significant step forward towards global endorsement and adoption.” | aerospace |

The increasing speed and operating altitude of modern aeroplanes, coupled with increasing congestion of air traffic necessitate availability of precise and up-to-date charts. This can be achieved by having an efficient system of Aeronautical Chart production.
Aeronautical Charts are primarily meant for the use of Civil and Defence Pilots, Airlines, Air Traffic Controllers, Planning & Engineering, Communication officials, Search & Rescue Personnel, Fire Section, Meteorological and various other organizations. International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) is the prime agency for regulating the design and production of aeronautical charts and the Standards and Recommended Practices and guidelines in this regard are issued by ICAO vide Annex-4 and Doc 8697 (Aeronautical Chart Manual).
Production of charts is a complex and lengthy process, as it involves not only designing, drawing or tracing the charts, but may require the collection of basic field survey data of the area.
In India, Survey and Cartography Unit of Airports Authority of India (AAI), New Delhi has mandate to survey civil aerodromes and other areas for production of Aeronautical Charts. AAI is responsible for surveying and producing aeronautical charts for all the civil airports in the country belonging to AAI, and even for certain other airports as per requirement.
In some other countries, besides the Government Organisations, the job is also done by private agencies. For example m/s Jeppesen of Germany is producing aeronautical charts for sale to pilots and airlines. The major difference in production of charts by Jeppesen is that they do not conduct the field survey to collect the data, but gather the information from various authentic sources. On the other hand, AAI collects the field data also through its own sources.
The aeronautical charts produced by AAI are mainly based on the Standards and Recommended Practices of ICAO. However certain non-ICAO Charts are also produced to meet internal requirements. Among ICAO Charts again there are three categories i.e. Mandatory ICAO Charts, Conditionally required ICAO Charts and Non-mandatory ICAO Charts.
a. ICAO Mandatory Charts
The following charts have been declared mandatory by ICAO and therefore, they are produced by AAI for publication and sale to various
Precision Approach Terrain Chart – It provides detailed terrain profile information within a defined portion of final approach of the aircraft landing at an airport.
Enroute Chart – Provides information to flight crew to facilitate navigation along air traffic services routes. Thus the pilots flying on those air-routes can use the charts for a safe flight.
Instrument Approach Chart – Provides necessary information for instrument approach procedure. Thus an pilot of an aircraft landing at a particular airport is able to follow the specified proceAVIATION dure meant for bringing the aircraft below a particular height to see the runway and land there.
Aerodrome Chart – Provides essential operational information about an aerodrome.
World Aeronautical Chart – They contain small scale maps (1:1 million)
b. ICAO Conditionally required Charts
The following charts are declared as “Conditionally required Charts” by ICAO, which means that they are required only if certain conditions/ circumstances prevail;
Aerodrome Obstacle Chart Type ‘C’ – is required where the obstacle data needed by the operator to develop procedures to comply with the operating limitations of Annex 6, Part I and II, Chapter 5, are not published in the AIP.
Area Chart – It gives the details of Air Traffic Services (ATS) routes and aeronautical facilities within the area control. It is to be made available where the air traffic services routes or position reporting requirements are complex and cannot be adequately shown on the Enroute Chart. Terminal Area Chart — Similar to Area Chart and is used for Terminal Areas.
Standard Arrival Chart – used by flight crew for arrivals. It is to be made available where a standard arrival route-instrument has been established and cannot be shown with sufficient clarity on the Area Chart.
Visual approach chart – Used for descent of the aircraft. It has to be made available for all aerodrome used by international civil aviation where only limited navigation facilities are available or radio communication facilities are not available or no adequate aeronautical charts of the aerodrome and its surrounding at 1:500 000 or greater scale are available, or where visual approach procedures have been established.
c. ICAO Non-Mandatory Charts
The following charts which (though not treated as mandatory by ICAO) are considered essential for safe aircraft operation and therefore they are also produced by AAI;
Aerodrome Obstacle Chart Type ‘B’ – The Aerodrome Obstacle Chart-ICAO Type B should only be produced in such cases where a need arises for a chart to assist in the determination of critical heights, for example, for circling procedures, or in such procedures for use in the event of an emergency during take-off or landing by the aircraft, and of obstacle clearing and marking criteria. When it is necessary to produce a chart combining the specifications of the Aerodrome Obstacle Chart-ICAO Type A and Type B, the combined chart is to be called Aerodrome Obstacle Chart-ICAO (Comprehensive).
Aerodrome Ground Movement Chart – The Aerodrome Ground Movement Chart – ICAO is a supplementary chart to be used where the detailed information needed for the ground movement of aircraft along taxiways to and from the aircraft stands and the parking and docking of aircraft, cannot be shown with sufficient clarity on the Aerodrome Chart-ICAO.Aircraft Parking and Docking chart – Used for facilitating ground manoeuvres of an aircraft. The Aircraft Parking / Docking Chart-ICAO is also a supplementary chart which should be made available only where, due to the complexity of terminal facilities, the information on the ground movement of aircraft between the taxiways and the aircraft stands and the parking / docking of aircraft cannot be shown with sufficient clarity on the Aerodrome Chart-ICAO or on the Aerodrome Ground Movement-ICAO.
Aeronautical Chart 1:500,000 The Aeronautical Chart-ICAO 1:500 000 and the Aeronautical Navigation Chart-Small Scale should be provided only when operational requirements for visual navigation or chart production considerations indicate a need for these charts either as a substitute for or to supplement the World Aeronautical Chart-ICAO 1:1 000 000.
Plotting Chart-ICAO These charts are a useful adjunct where a need exists for a chart which will provide a means of maintaining a continuous flight record of the aircraft position by various fixAeronautical ing methods and dead-reckoning, and maintain an intended flight path. These charts would be appropriate to major air routes over oceanic areas and sparsely settled areas flown by international commercial air transport.
There are many charts produced by AAI, which are very useful for specific purposes. However, these charts are normally not required to be published by ICAO and therefore, they are available for internal use only.
Brief descriptions and uses of some such charts are given below:
1. Grid Map — This chart shows the details of Operational areas of the aerodrome including runways, taxiways, apron and operational boundary, navigational aids etc. This is one of the most popular charts, that is being extensively used by Operations, Communications, Engineering, Planning, Security, Search & Rescue wings etc. of AAI and also by DGCA, IA, AI and many other organisations.
2. 30 NM Chart — This chart shows height/elevations of hills and other obstructions within the radius of 30 to 40 NM around an airport.
3. ATS route Map — It shows various ATS routes along with restricted/ prohibited/Danger areas within Indian FIR.
4. Zoning map — Zoning map show details of the airport, City areas, AGA Surfaces, various height zones around an airport. Mostly used for NOC purposes.
5. Various other maps — Additionally, AAI produces a large number of miscellaneous maps required by agencies like Search & Rescue Chart, FIR map, Approach Char, Maps showing location of various aerodromes in India, Magnetic Variation Chart, mosaic map, etc.
Obstacle and other survey data are required to be collected extensively during field surveys for production of Aeronautical Charts. Keeping in view the above requirement a full-fledged survey section has been functioning in AAI, which is fully equipped with most modern equipments and experienced staff specializing in aeronautical survey.
The AAI Survey Party conducts detailed topographical survey of aerodromes and their environs, and carries out detailed obstruction survey of approach paths of the aeroplanes to pin point various obstacles falling in the area. This includes survey for determining location and elevation of hills, high chimneys, tall buildings, Radio and TV Towers etc., likely to cause obstruction to air traffic and endangerthe safety of aircraft operations.
Accordingly location of various objects along with their elevations (heights above mean sea level) is determined. On the basis of this information, i.e. distance, elevation and bearing with reference to a particular point (or geographical coordinates in terms of latitude, longitude and elevations),
The survey of an airport may include physical measurements (horizontal and vertical) of all the objects located inside its boundary (in x, y, and z axis) and those located in its vicinity. Further along the approach funnels all the objects of vertical significance are also required to be measured up to a distance of 15 Kms in each direction (i.e. 30 Kms in both the directions a single runway). For a large international airport like Mumbai, the Survey area may extend as much as up to 300 Sq Kms, where all the high rise buildings, structures, Radio masts, Towers, Chimneys and other objects are to be surveyed. Even for medium-sized airports like Calicut this area may be as much as 100 Sq Kms.
The survey operation can be treated as the foundation stone as well as the building block for production of the charts. If the survey is incomplete or faulty, the same defects are likely to crop up either locally or even in magnified form during the subsequent process of chart production. Due to this reason, precise and accurate observations are required to be made during survey operation and data so collected is regarded as an important asset.
In addition to the above, the data from other available sources such as Survey of India Maps, State Government, private agencies etc., is also collected and utilised for preparation of these charts.
Use of modern techniques
All possible endeavours are made to produce Aeronautical Charts of high standard that are comparable to charts produced by other advanced countries. Efforts are also made to keep pace with rapid developments in aviation by introducing modern techniques such as use of precision drawing instruments, introduction of digital and electronic survey equipments like Electronic Theodolite, long range Distomats, Geodetic dual frequency Global Positioning System (GPS) etc., and of course by the use of Computers, which are required to be used extensively for production of aeronautical charts.

A faulty ammonia line fitting delayed repairs to a cooling pump on the International Space Station Saturday during an eight-hour spacewalk.
During the spacewalk, astronauts Doug Wheelock and Tracy Caldwell Dyson were to repair a faulty cooling system, which failed on July 31. The faulty cooling unit was to be swapped with a new one that was previously in storage to solve the problem; however, an ammonia leak in the final line to be disconnected from the unit halted attempts for a repair.
Upon discovering the problem, the astronauts were instructed to reconnect the line and install a positioning device to maintain the proper pressure on the line.
Upon completing the spacewalk, Wheelock and Dyson spent additional time in the airlock to get rid of any ammonia particles that may have attached themselves to their spacesuits.
NASA officials are analyzing possible solutions to the issue to attempt during a planned spacewalk Wednesday. Wednesday’s spacewalk was previously intended to be second in the series to repair the cooling system by reattaching fluid and electrical lines.
Before Saturday’s spacewalk, NASA officials projected that up to three spacewalks may be needed to repair the cooling system.
Most of the space station’s non-critical scientific components have been temporarily shut-down in order to reduce heat generation with only one cooling loop available to the station.
NASA reports that the station’s crew, three Russians and three Americans, are not in any danger; however, it is in the best interests of the crew to restore systems to nominal condition as soon as possible.
The eight-hour spacewalk is reportedly the longest ISS-based spacewalk, and the sixth longest in the history of human spaceflight. | aerospace |

At least, that’s the goal of the Michigan Launch Initiative, a state grant funding item that aims to build a space port north of the 45th parallel at a to-be-determined location. The project would stand to give Michigan a foothold in the commercial satellite business if it successfully meets the criteria of the Federal Aviation Administration.
Officials say the proposed facility would be equipped to fire objects into space from a launch pad, while also being designed to lift objects into low-Earth orbit from a runway. The space port would also include a center for developing hypersonic technologies, capable of functioning at five times the speed of sound.
The $2.5 million needed to develop plans for the site was granted by former Gov. Rick Snyder during the end of his administration. That support was later cancelled by current Gov. Gretchen Whitmer before being revived by the State Senate Appropriations Committee, who recently voted unanimously in favor of a reworded version of the initiative.
“The space port itself will be a green space port unlike any of the others out there in the world,” says Gavin Brown, executive director of the Michigan Aerospace Manufacturers Association, an industry group spearheading the effort. “We are looking at how we can be carbon neutral utilizing biofuels. And also, the entire facility, we plan on making it more… environmentally-friendly when we arrive as opposed to where it sits today.”
Brown speaks with WDET’s Alex McLenon about plans for the space port and why the state could be a logical fit for the space launching industry.
Listen to the audio interview by clicking on the player above. The following Q&A has been edited and condensed for clarity.
WDET: What are some of those locations you are looking at for a launch site?
Brown: We are looking in the northern part of the state. So that you look at an unpopulated area that has a good launch dynamic, such as going over water. Close to the shoreline, going over water.
You need water for the stages of the rocket to break off into. Can you tell me about some of the benefits and why it makes sense to do this in Michigan, compared to other states?
Brown: Michigan has a rich history of what I would call manufacturing processes that go beyond automotive. They really are conducive to high technology.
We [also] have the largest amount of restricted air space east of the Mississippi River. So we have a talent base, we have the physical assets and we have the advantage of shooting to the polar route. That offers an advantage over other states or other entities that would be trying to do so south of us. They’re more suited for Cape Canaveral [in Florida] and Vandenberg Air Force Base out in California.
Should this all get approved, can you tell me about the economic benefit this will have for Michigan?
Brown: Morgan Stanley considers it a $1.1 trillion business by 2040. Bank of America is calling a $3.3 trillion dollar marketplace by 2048. We’re looking at probably over 1,000 [jobs]. Economic impact — we won’t get the bulk of that trillion dollar industry, but we’re looking at close to anywhere from about $200 million-plus annually, per year, starting in 2023.
So, you look at these small [low-Earth orbit] satellites, they’re not like deep space satellites where you’re launching them every 20 to 30 years. They’re being launched every six or seven years. If you were to even use Cape Canaveral as the example, that’s 40 to 50 years of operation.
Any final thoughts?
Brown: What our business model looks at is positioning Michigan not just to be a participant in the space launch industry, but to be a leader. I think what you’re going to find is as people recognize how we’re doing the launches with the technologies we’re utilizing and the stewardship that we’re gonna be utilizing – which is taking care of the environment, both land, water and air – will really separate us from every other space port out there. I believe firmly that the resources that will be coming from this, as far as back to the people of the state and then the economy, will actually be a new thriving industry that may even rival that of the automotive world as we progress in space. | aerospace |
