It was received with dismay, not because hijacking is a new security challenge within the aviation industry but for the fact that the particular incident was founded on falsehood and claims of a bomb threat orchestrated by a sovereign state in an effort to detain a dissident journalist and activist running from political prosecution.
Ryanair Sun Boeing 737-800 performing its regular flight FR-4978 from Athens in Greece to Vilnius in Lithuania was redirected and forced to land at Minsk National Airport on the instructions of President Alexander Lukashenko. Protasevich alongside opposition leader Svetlana Tikhanovskaya had sought refuge in Lithuania after organising protests following the controversial victory of President Alexander Lukashenko in the 2020 Belarusian presidential election. The flight which carried aboard 126 passengers and 6 crew was rerouted about 45nm south of Vilnius in Belarus Airspace and remained on the bottom in Minsk for about 7 hours, then continued and reached Vilnius with a delay of 8.5 hours.
It is not the first incident affecting commercial flights in Europe. Other incidents have happened in the past involving commercial flights at Athens, Zurich, Beirut, Frankfort. Examples include bombings and the burning of the flag aircraft of different nations. Hence, hijacking and other types of challenges related to aviation security involving commercial flights are matters of significant concern to the international community because such acts threaten the peaceful functioning of the aviation industry.
What are the risks of hijacking to aviation security?
Perhaps the most dangerous risk associated with aircraft hijacking is the record of zero passenger fatalities which has helped advanced the course of hijackers. Only a few people consider hijacking to be a nuisance, an annoyance or a small amount of semi-pleasant excitement, but not a criminal act with the potential for disaster. Nevertheless, it becomes very disturbing when hijacking is completed by not just a nation-state but one which is a member of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). It puts a question mark on the principle of adherence to international norms fundamental to making sure the protection and security of aircraft, passengers and crew are assured. What Belarus did seem to have shaken the foundation of the 1944 Chicago Convention on international civil aviation devoted to the preservation of friendship and mutual understanding among the nations and peoples of the world.
The cooperation that has reigned between nation-states within the development of international civil aviation for over 70 years has suddenly turned into conflict, compromising Annex 17 to the Convention on International Civil Aviation geared toward Safeguarding International Civil Aviation Against Acts of Unlawful Interference and laying out the minimum-security standard expected of all contracting states. It becomes found wanting when states which are party to the convention begin to break the laws since triggers a crisis of non-compliance. Reactions from Australia, Belgium, Latvia, Lithuania, China, Greece, Canada, Poland, Hungary, Italy, Netherlands, Sweden, US, UK and Ukraine demonstrate the seriousness of the problem. ICAO expressed concern about the action of Belarus, describing it as a “threat to international civil aviation” which requires investigation. E.U. leaders responded by suspending Belarusian airlines from flying over the airspace of member states and denying them landing rights in E.U. countries.
In disagreement with the EU, Russia argued that the incident was not noticeably different from the grounding of the presidential airplane of Bolivian President Evo Morales in Austria in July 2013 as European countries rescinded permission in midflight to refuel or use their airspace with the hope of arresting American intelligence contractor Edward Snowden. Russia has also blocked EU flights from entering its airspace like Air France flight from Paris and an Austrian Airlines service from Vienna as an “apparent tit-for-tat move in response to EU measures against Belarus.” The massive question now could be whether the reaction of ICAO, the Civil Aviation Conference (ECAC), the EU Commission and other organisations that have a posture on aviation security will put Belarus to order and stop similar incidents from happening in the future.
Other threats to international civil aviation
Apart from hijacking which has plummeted within the last decade, a 2017 legal report from ICAO shows that international civil aviation is liable to other numerous and evolving threats difficult enough to predict. These new and emerging threats affect all facets of civil aviation putting passenger aircraft, air cargo, airports, and related facilities and operations in danger. They include terrorism such as suicide bombers, increased risk of cyber terrorism to aviation information systems, insider threat presenting potential risks to schedule carriers, civil unrest impacting flight and cabin crew and flight/airport operations, human trafficking, inadequately documented travellers, and smuggling of medicine, species and other contraband.
Some of the explanations why civil aviation could constitute high priority targets for criminals ranges from vulnerability because of high pax traffic, the limited risk to perpetrators, symbolic statement generating media imagery, generate public anxiety, ability to inflict mass casualties, damage to economy or travel and disruption of scheduled travel.
Mitigating aviation insecurity
The US government supposes that hijacking may be stopped by way of detection, frustration and deterrence. Detection means detecting the would-be hijacker before he gets on the airplane and denying him passage, frustration involves frustrating a mid-air attempt by either mechanical or human means or both, and deterrence means deterring future hijackers-with emphasis on punishing the successful hijacker.
The incident of May 23, 2021, involving Ryanair sets a new stage for aviation security with regards to interpretation and the applicability of international norms and principles. Rising political tensions in Europe with the E.U. on the one hand and Belarus and Russia on the other suspending flights to and from each other’s airspace might restrain international cooperation and bring nation-states to the brink of conflict. What this means is that a new Convention might be necessary for the field of international civil aviation to help regulate and punish actions of states previously not considered. | aerospace |

The restriction would not apply to international all-cargo operations and flights specifically approved by Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), the regulator said in a statement on Friday.
Airlines, barring repatriation and special flights, were earlier restricted from operating their regular international flight services till 31 July, in an effort to contain the covid-19 pandemic that has claimed thousands of lives globally.
India suspended all flight operations on 25 March to contain the spread of covid-19 pandemic. Domestic flight operations were allowed to resume from 25 May, albeit with a limited capacity.
International repatriation flights are allowed to operate to bring back stranded Indians from abroad during the lockdown. These were mostly operated by national carrier Air India Limited. At present, apart from Air India, other carriers, including foreign airlines, have been allowed to operate international flights from and to India.
“To allow gradual movement of passenger traffic during the covid-19 situation, ‘Transport Bubble’ agreements have been signed with (the) USA, France, and Germany. Recently, ‘Transport Bubble’ agreement has also been signed with Kuwait to uplift stranded passengers both to/from India,” DGCA said in the statement.
“More similar arrangements are likely to fructify and ease passenger movements from different countries,” it added. | aerospace |

Air Force figures indicate that because bomb squadrons are operating on reduced budgets and have deployed for 15 years, less than half of conventional and nuclear B-52s are ready to fly at any time, Air Force Times reports.
In total, just 33 B-52s can fly at a moment’s notice, and a similar problem applies to conventional B-1s, of which only 25 out of 62 are available.
For B-2s, only seven or eight are available out of 20, and out of the ones available, only 51 percent are ready for mission deployment.
“On a nominal basis you don’t have more than single digits of B-2s available to do anything,” retired Air Force Lt. Gen. Dave Deptula told Air Force Times.
For Deptula, the realization of the air power readiness crisis should call attention to the need for more resources.
“The U.S. Air Force is the smallest and least ready it’s ever been in history – that should get people’s attention,” Deptula added.
Still, three bomber fleets are ready to go. Air Force Col. Robert Lepper, head of the combat aircraft division at Air Force Global Strike Command, told Air Force Times that the issue of reduced numbers is not out of the ordinary.
“All three of our bomber fleets are capable of meeting their missions – they’ve always dealt with reduced bombers,” Lepper said. “Specifically with the B-2 fleet – we make decisions every day how to best utilize the aircraft … and meet the requirements that are there for us in that given day.”
As tensions ratchet up between the U.S. and North Korea, Trump emphasized Friday that the military is “locked and loaded,” though he did not say any action was imminent. However, as The New York Times reports, the Pentagon is not in the process of sending any new ships to the Korean Peninsula, despite increasingly heated rhetoric.
Trump warned Tuesday that if North Korea continued to make threats, “They will be met with fire and fury like the world has never seen. He has been very threatening … and as I said they will be met with fire, fury and frankly power, the likes of which this world has never seen before.”
Trump then added Thursday that perhaps his “fire and fury” comments weren’t aggressive enough.
“If anything, maybe that statement wasn’t tough enough,” Trump said at his New Jersey golf club.

The Curtiss JN-4 "Jenny" is a series of biplane aircraft built by the Curtiss Aeroplane Company of Hammondsport New York later the Curtiss Aeroplane and Motor Company. The Curtiss JN series (the common nickname was derived from "JN") was produced as a training aircraft for the U.S. Army although the "Jenny" became the "backbone of American post-war aviation."
The Curtiss JN-4 is possibly North America's most famous World War I aircraft. It was widely used during World War I to train beginning pilots. The Canadian version was the JN-4 (Can) also known as the "Canuck" and was built with a control stick instead of the Deperdussin control wheel used in the regular JN-4 model as well as usually having a somewhat more rounded rudder outline than the American version. The U.S. version was called "Jenny". It was a twin-seat (student in front of instructor) dual control biplane. Its tractor prop and maneuverability made it ideal for initial pilot training with a 90 horsepower (67 kW) Curtiss OX-5 V8 engine giving a top speed of 75 miles per hour (121 km/h) and a service ceiling of 6500 feet (2000 m).

Since the summer of 2004, career choices for senior students at Jamaica College, have been greatly augmented with the introduction of an aviation programme in the school’s curriculum. This innovative programme is the brainchild of master aviator, David Robertson (Class of ’78), in partnership with The Flying Club. The programme was sanctioned and approved by the Aircraft Training Organisation (ATO) and the Jamaica Civil Aviation Authority (JCAA) for a private pilot’s licence ground school. With national interest always on the fulcrum, the aviation program has been extended to select cohorts from the wider JC community as well.
Theoretical and practical
Technical Director of the Jamaica College Aviation Programme, David Robertson, explained that the curriculum includes both a theoretical and a practical package. “This involves, firstly, learning about all aspects of the airplane; how the airplane flies; the (various) theories of flight and how it is able to sustain flight,” he says. “The next module is about the engine, the airplane engine, and how the engine works, how we will be able to fix it, minor repairs. After (the) engine module, we go on to meteorology, aviation weather systems, (understanding) what is safe flying weather and marginal flying weather,” Mr. Robertson explains.
He adds that students will be introduced to navigation, where they will gain an appreciation for different methods of map reading and survival techniques. They will also be introduced to computerised systems, to learn more about the aircraft. “Then we move on to Jamaican Air law, which is the equivalent of a ‘Road Code’. It is an air code, following the various laws in the air from a Jamaican standpoint. After that, we learn about what is called weight and balance – how to lower the plane safely,” he states.
"There are many who want to become a pilot, but don’t know how to go about it, and finances will keep it out of reach. This [programme] will show that you can match dream and ambition..."
Mr. Robertson notes that the information students will receive in one year, compares favourably to that of private programmes. The private programme is sometimes compressed into three (or) two months, so the year is more than adequate time, especially for students who are hungry for the knowledge,” he explains. He further noted that the programme was designed, to give high school students an opportunity to take on new opportunities in emerging industries.
“We found the time was right to equip youngsters for the change in the economic climate (so that they can) be as marketable as possible. So, this programme does really cut the line between dream and ambition. There are many who want to become a pilot, but don’t know how to go about it, and finances will keep it out of reach. This will show that you can match dream and ambition,” he points out. “The programme is set in a way that; the minute you do get through this section you are on your way. You cannot get a private pilot licence without this theoretical package now; you are going to have to pass this exam,” Mr. Robertson adds.
Heavily subsidised by past students and stakeholders, the Jamaica College Aviation Programme is offered over one or two-year periods, after which, successful students may sit an external aviation examination administered by the JCAA. JCAA certification is accepted worldwide and is a prerequisite for obtaining a private pilot’s licence.
This first of its kind programme to be offered at any high school in the Caribbean, has added great value to the richness of the Jamaica College experience, while producing a cadre of aviators and explorers including recent graduate, Georgio Hado the youngest person to fly solo from USA to Jamaica.
Over the past 18 years, Jamaica College Aviation Programme has impacted the lives of our young Griffins to the pursue their aviation goals and to match dreams and ambition. From inception, the summer program has yielded over 20 pilots. The flight training aspect is expensive and despite aggressive and successful private fund-raising efforts many aspiring aviators are unable to fulfill their dreams. With your support, we can continue to help the current cadre of students soar to new heights, through the power of flight.
We know there is an endless list of places where your donations can make a difference. We would greatly appreciate if you can make Jamaica College Aviation one of those places.

How to Keep Your Drone Safe, The most effective method to Keep Your Drone Safe
Instructions to keep your Drone Safe
Today we are discussing how to Keep Your Drone Safe Consistently more individuals, organizations, and foundations are exploiting the headways of drone innovation.
As the quantity of drones is expanding, so is the quantity of regulations,
guidelines and suggestions to advance the great utilization of drones.
Organizations are utilizing drones to grow their administrations,
foundations need to build the personal satisfaction of their residents (probably), and individuals, for the most part,
simply need to have some good times.
Whatever the explanation, here are a few proposals so you can involve your drone in the most secure conceivable manner.
First I have an extremely disagreeable suggestion: Read the manual.
I know how hard it very well may be, yet when you have your drone you want to relax and not fly it immediately.
This is another innovation and regardless of whether you are acquainted with drones,
you can’t gamble with your venture since you are excessively sluggish to peruse the directions.
It will take you a couple of moments to peruse essentially what you think about the main parts so you should rest assured that you completely comprehend how to work it.
Regulations and guidelines
Another significant angle is to submit to the regulations and guidelines of the zone wherein you intend to fly your drone.
They differ contingent upon where you are, however, overall terms are especially indistinguishable.
The majority of the guidelines discuss how high your drone can go.
The FAA specifies that a drone can’t go higher than 120m (400 feet).
An alternate constraint to flying your drone isn’t how high yet where you can take it.
There are sure regions where flying a drone is taboo.
You can’t fly a drone over individuals or vehicles since this could be considered a gamble for both and you will be liable for any harm caused for your drone.
The shrewd way is to become educated about the guidelines and the zones where the drone is to be utilized.
Try not to lose sight
Another significant security exhortation (and a regulation truly) is that you fly your drone just to the extent that you can see it and no farther than that.
I don’t feel that I ought to try and make sense of this, however, to make certain here it goes:
Losing sight of your drone can be truly perilous for individuals on the ground as well as expensive would it be advisable for you to lose your drone?
If you can’t see your drone there’s an opportunity for you can lose correspondence with the regulator and lose unlimited oversight.
Albeit a huge number have ‘return to somewhere safe and secure’ capacity which permits them to get back to their beginning stage,
it is as yet exhorted not to wander so far so you neglect to focus on your drone.
When to fly?
Checking the weather conditions can help decide when’s a decent or a terrible opportunity to fly them.
Albeit a few drones show no issues flying on overcast days, others truly do show a lack of few under these circumstances.
Once more, perusing the manual is smart.
For the situation when you have overcast days as well as areas of strength for as, regardless of how great your drone is, it is a poorly conceived notion to fly them.
The breezes can make it harder to move the drone and it can go anyplace.
Once more, it doesn’t make any difference how great your drone is,
on the off chance that it can happen to genuine-size helicopters, it will happen to your drone as well.
On days with solid breezes, keep your drone at home.
Look at parts
So since you have perused the manual and got all the data you want to fly your drone,
you are prepared to have a good time with it, isn’t that so?
All things considered, not exactly. Even though you know the hypothesis,
you need to make sure that the drone is working appropriately.
You want to make sure that each part is in wonderful condition.
This incorporates propellers, batteries, lights and everything joined to the drone.
Furthermore, this must be done every time you are flying the drone.
Each time that the drone will be utilized it should be checked.
Use applications is the best way to Keep your Drone safe
A lot of organizations offer an application for PDAs that assist pilots with controlling their drones.
If you have it, almost certainly, the application has a choice to assist you with aligning your drone.
This is an extraordinary instrument to ensure that the parts are working accurately and you can go flying your drone with no concerns.
At last, on the off chance that your drone has a camera and is equipped for taking pictures or recordings,
then you want to have consent from the legitimate specialists to snap a photo or a video,
in any case, it is against the law to do such.
So here you go, you have a starter rundown of things to think about before flying your drone.
Many tips referenced are regulations to safeguard individuals around you and even yourself,
and they differ contingent upon where you are.
Others are only to your benefit.
With everything taken into account, they are intended to make your experience of drone flying a decent one.

The helicopters, bought of the US-based Bell Helicopter company have been modified for “VIP travel”. The Air Force recently purchased 14 military transport helicopters from Russia and two aircraft from China to add to it’s expanding commercial arm, Helitours.
Previously, Bell helicopters were modified with weapons and used for attack missions during the war.
Larry D Roberts, senior vice president for Bell Helicopter's Commercial Business, said in a statement,
"We've had a strong partnership with the Sri Lanka Air Force for more than 40 years."
This was acknowledged by Sri Lanka Air Force commander Air Marshall Harsha Abeywickrema, who said the aircraft was a "highly reliable and a capable product" commenting,
"We look forward to continuing that relationship in the months and years to come".

Matthew T. Mutti, 104th FW Executive Officer 104th Fighter Wing 104th Fighter Wing, Westfield, Mass. -- Every day, we drive by it. Every year, we rededicate it. But have you taken the time to learn about the peoples' names affixed to it? Since 1947, members of the 104th Fighter Wing have sacrificed to preserve freedom. Some of those warriors died while involved in aircraft related accidents. The F-100 Memorial, originally dedicated by the 104th Fighter Wing's Chiefs Council in 1987, was dedicated to memorialize those members; the dedication followed the death of Maj. John Southrey who was in an aircraft accident over Wells, New York in his A-10 aircraft on Sept. 17, 1986. Maj. Southrey is the last name on the monument, preceded by 11 other BarneStormers. 1st Lt. Edward W. Meacham's name is the first to appear on the monument. Meacham was 28 when he died performing dive-bomb attacks south of Chatham Mass. Aug 17, 1948. His P-47 Thunderbolt crash marked the first aircraft lost for the 131st Fighter Squadron (then known as the 131 Fighter Group.) Six years later, Maj. Robert Anderstrom of West Springfield lost control of his F-51 on May 7, 1954. Anderstrom was returning home following a military-planning conference at Mitchel Air Force Base, outside of Long Island NY. (Mitchel AFB was decommissioned in 1961.) The names are not all officers, one enlisted member, Tech. Sgt. Austin Cooper's name appears next to 1st Lt. Richard Brown. Cooper was the aircraft mechanic who was flying in the backseat of Brown's T-33. The two perished in Granville Mass. shortly after takeoff on Oct. 19, 1954. In addition to being on the memorial, Cooper's name is on the Blvd. that encircles the base's perimeter. Later, in 1958, Capt. Frank Gibe was unable to safely land his aircraft here at Barnes; after making multiple attempts to land, he crashed in a wooded area off the main runway. The danger of training was made evident by the unfortunate crash of an F-86, while Capt. Hugh Lavallee was performing low-level navigation training near Warren County, NY in 1963. Every crash was not fatal, as learned by Maj. Philip B. Burke, who was the passenger of a 131st Fighter Squadron F-94C piloted by Maj. Richard W. Mahoney. As they returned from a cross country mission, the F-94C's jet engine flamed out over New Orleans Naval Air Station April 22, 1961. Burke walked away from the crash. Very unfortunately, Mahoney, the previous 131st FS Commander, incurred fatal injuries in the crash. March 21, 1962, 1st Lt. Joseph F. Crehore was the only wing casualty during its deployment to Phalsbourg AB, France. During a flight over Chalons France, his F-86 aircraft crashed into a wooded area during a low-level navigation mission. In 1964, the Wing transitioned to the F-84F Thunderstreak. On Feb. 1, 1965, while returning from a weapons exercise at MacDill Air Force Base, Fla., Maj. James Romanowicz died when his aircraft crashed North East of Westover Air Force Base. Romanowicz was a seasoned combat pilot with 1,200 hours of flight time. He flew the F-51 Mustang, F-47 Thunderbolt and P-40 Warhawk, as well as the C -45 and C-47 transport aircraft. The last of the 11 fallen 104FW members that preceded Maj Southrey name is Capt. Leonard E. Bannish of Westfield, Mass. Bannish passed away when his F-84F Thunderstreak crashed during a training flight near Wilkes-Barre, PA., May 30, 1968. He crashed while attempting an emergency landing at the Wilkes-Barre PA airport. | aerospace |

Starting today, commercial flight service will begin from Everett’s Paine Field. Originally scheduled to start in mid-February, flight operations were put on hold due to the government shutdown. Final clearance from the Federal Aviation Administration was required before flights could begin service.
Alaska Airlines is the first carrier to serve the airport with United Airlines starting their flights at the end of March. Each carrier will serve the airport with smaller Embraer 175 jets. Alaska Airlines announced their flights plans for Paine Field in November. United originally planned on a end-of-March launch, which in turn, worked out well with the delayed opening.
Alaska is offering 18 daily nonstop flights between Paine Field in Everett, Washington, and eight West Coast cities (Las Vegas; Los Angeles; Orange County, CA; Phoenix; Portland, OR; San Diego; San Francisco; and San Jose, CA.).
United is offering six daily departures with two to Denver, CO and four to San Francisco, CA. Originally, Southwest Airlines was also going to serve Paine Field, but decided against that in mid-2018. Alaska proceeded to take over the five flight slots vacated by Southwest.
The two-gate terminal is expected to see 1.4 million passengers each year and cost approximately $40 million to construct. Before flying out of Paine Field for the first time, passengers may be wondering the best route to get there, where to park, and what food and drink options are available. Propeller Airports – which operates the new terminal – has launched a website to help travelers plan their trips.

It has come as a surprise to politicians in a number of countries that the US intelligence service CIA extensively uses civilian aircraft for secret prisoner transport.
All air traffic in the world is governed by the rules to which the countries bind. An important distinction is between civil aircraft and military or government aircraft.
In order for an aircraft to operate as a civil aircraft, clear rules apply to what is a civil flight. In addition, all civilian traffic must comply with the so-called Chicago Convention, which governs all civilian traffic.
Robert Haast, Director of Information at the Civil Aviation Authority, says the rules are clear in this area.
- According to the Chicago Convention, civilian operators / aircraft resident in states that are members of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) may perform non-scheduled flights through each other's airspace. The aircraft can also make landings for non-commercial purposes, without applying for a permit. However, all flights are registered with Avinor / Eurocontrol, as overflight fees must be paid for such flights. Here we are talking about, among other things, charter flights – and not scheduled flights.
Robert Haast further states that except for the aforementioned right are state aircraft.
Aircraft used by the military, government or police should be defined as government aircraft, according to the Chicago Convention. In addition, civilian aircraft commissioned by the state or government are considered state aircraft. This may involve the transport of passengers or freight. For state aircraft / state aviation, prior approval must be obtained from the Civil Aviation Authority. In the case of transport of heads of state and others at a high level, to Norway or through Norwegian airspace, the application usually comes via the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Applications normally contain information about the operator's name, aircraft type / registration, type of flight (passengers or cargo), type / amount of cargo, client, itinerary and timetable.
Robert Haast elaborates on this:
- When a commercial airline undertakes transport assignments for the state or government, and the journey is of an official nature, the assignment is considered a state flight. In the case of flights carried out by civil airlines on behalf of the police and intelligence services, these will be considered in each individual case, but often such assignments will also be considered as state flights. If, on the other hand, military aircraft are used, ie the Armed Forces' aircraft with military registration, the case is classified under the Armed Forces and is therefore not processed by the Civil Aviation Authority, says Robert Haast, information director at the Civil Aviation Authority. | aerospace |

UI researchers improve satellite surface measurements
University of Iowa assistant professor Scott Spak and students participating in a six-week NASA summer program have found that taking into account local atmospheric conditions can improve the accuracy of satellite surface imagery.
The results of their study from the 2009 NASA Student Airborne Research Program are published in the Aug. 4 online edition of the journal Remote Sensing Letters, (http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/01431161.2010.551550).
In brief, the students from Howard University and Georgia Institute of Technology flew over Southern California aboard NASA's DC-8 airborne science laboratory and operated NASA's MODIS and ASTER remote sensing instruments. The flight was guided by forecasts from the UI Center for Global and Regional Environmental Research (CGRER).
When processing the images they collected, the students found that using CGRER's regional model forecasts for local weather and air quality substantially improved sea surface temperature measurements and also increased the sensitivity of measurements over cities and areas covered by vegetation.
Using CGRER model results was found to be an improvement over standard approaches to calculating surface measurements from satellite images, which incorporate a
"This new approach can help improve the global satellite record of the Earth's surface and oceans, by taking better daily snapshots of how human activity affects them over time," Spak said. "This one change can improve our ability to accurately track a wide range of environmental questions, including urban heat islands, coastal algae blooms and the regrowth of deforested areas."
Spak and CGRER Co-director Greg Carmichael are working with NASA to apply the technique to improve satellite air pollution estimates.
Spak is an assistant professor with joint appointments in the UI Public Policy Center, School of Urban and Regional Planning, and the UI College of Engineering Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering.

But despite fears of additional flight disruptions as part of ongoing labour action, Pearson Airport runways returned to normal operations by Sunday evening, a spokesman said.
Just over 100 of 1,278 scheduled flights were cancelled or delayed due to morning fog and a maintenance area fire Saturday evening, Greater Toronto Airport Authority (GTAA) spokesman Scott Armstrong said.
He said runway 05/23 was closed from 10 p.m. Saturday until about 10 a.m. Sunday after essential takeoff and landing runway lights were disrupted by the fire.
"Startup was slow with dozens of delays," Armstrong said.
At the supper hour, he said repairs were "very successful" and tests of essential lighting was completed.
During the disruptions, airlines were adjusting their March Break return schedules, with some reducing flights in and out of Canada's busiest airport.
Pearson's website reported most cancellations were of inbound flights, the majority involving Air Canada arrivals from Canadian and American airports, plus one from Mexico City.
Flights on several U.S. airlines to and from cities south of the border, plus one Cuba-bound charter, were also cancelled.
"While weather, a disruption caused by a fire at our major hub in Toronto and other factors affected our operation, some impact was the result of a higher-than usual pilot book-offs," Air Canada spokesman Peter Fitzgerald said by e-mail.
"While Air Canada supports the right of its employees to book off when they are unwell or otherwise unfit to work, we cannot condone such activities as part of industrial action to disrupt our operations and we have asked the CIRB (Canadian Industrial Relations Board) to intervene," he said, without citing specific requests.
After a bitter labour dispute involving several of the unions representing workers, including pilots and ground crews, the Senate passed back-to-work legislation Thursday that referred disputes to arbitration.
Arguing an Air Canada work stoppage could damage the economy's fragile recovery from recession, the government said it intervened to prevent both a lockout of the pilots by Air Canada and a planned strike by its machinists.
The pilots vowed Friday to fight back through the courts.

The process has been long in coming.

Thus, 2022 will be the year when machines from planet Earth begin to seriously land on the Moon, joining those that have already arrived from China.
The United States will begin its first moon landings in decades as part of the Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) program. CLPS is an extension of a long-standing NASA policy of establishing public / private partnerships for various space operations. The Commercial Orbital Transportation Service (COTS) program, initiated under President George W. Bush, sends cargo to and from the International Space Station (ISS). Commercial crew, established under the president Barack obamaBarack Hussein Obama: Will Biden’s foreign policy failures in 2021 reverberate in 2022?

The Human Landing Systems program, launched under Trump, promises to deliver America’s first astronauts to the lunar surface for decades. CLPS will send a variety of robotic probes to the moon.
The first mission under the CLPS program is the IM-1 which will be launched by Houston-based Intuitive Machines in early 2022. The Nova-C lander will carry instruments for NASA and commercial payloads to the surface. lunar between Mare Serenitatis and Mare Crisium on the near side. from the moon.
In the course of 2022, the Astrobotic Peregrine 1 mission is expected to land in Lacus Mortis. The Peregrine lander will carry scientific and other payloads from NASA and various international and private customers.
In December 2022, Intuitive Machines is expected to land another Nova-C at the lunar south pole. The lander will contain a drill that, with a mass spectrometer, will prospect the ice beneath the lunar surface. The mission will also provide a Micro Nova hopper lander designed to explore some of the permanently shaded craters at the moon’s south pole, where scientists believe water ice has been deposited by comets over billions of years. The lunar south pole will be where the first astronauts will walk on the moon in half a century.
In addition to the three US CLPS companies, a number of other countries are planning moon landing attempts in the New Year. These include India, Japan, United Arab Emirates, and Russia. The Indian Chandrayaan-3 will be the Indian Space Research Agency’s second moon landing attempt. The Russian Luna-25 will be the former superpower’s first lunar mission since the mid-1970s. The UAE’s Rashid rover will fly to the moon aboard a Japanese Hakuto-R lander.
In the United States, NASA plans to send the CAPSTONE technology demonstrator into lunar orbit. South Korea will launch the Korea Pathfinder Lunar Orbiter, the country’s first lunar mission.
NASA intends to launch an unmanned version of the Orion spacecraft above a Heavy Space Launch System (SLS) rocket around the moon from early to mid-2022. The SLS will also carry 10 cubesats ( miniature satellites) provided by a number of private organizations.
SpaceX is planning an orbital launch in 2022 of its Starship rocket, a version of which is expected to land humans on the lunar surface no earlier than 2025, pending regulatory approval.
Of course, the date of each planned mission is subject to change. Launch dates have been and may be delayed by a variety of issues, including availability of launchers and unforeseen mechanical issues. The COVID-19 pandemic certainly hasn’t helped. The FAA has announced that its environmental review of the SpaceX Starship’s orbital launch has been delayed until late February 2022, proving the adage that government red tape can be just as difficult as making technology work.
Additionally, some of the landing attempts may fail. India and Israel both tried to land probes on the moon which, instead, failed.
Yet the law of averages suggests that some of these planned missions will be successful. So far, only China has managed to land on the moon in the 21st century, gaining scientific knowledge and the soft political power that follows.
When the rest of the world begins to arrive on the lunar surface, not only will humanity’s understanding of the moon increase, but the idea that humans will soon follow will become more real 50 years after astronauts last walked. on its surface.

Tue 15th September 2015 at 6.00 pm - 8.00 pm
Dinner : 6 pm for 6.30 pm at St Augustine's, Westgate-on-Sea. Menu: Lamb/vegetable "Jalfrezi" with saffron rice & naan bread. Speaker David Duncombe from the Kent, Sussex & Surrey Air Ambulance
David Duncombe, representing the Kent, Sussex & Surrey Air Ambulance gave a fascinating talk to Club Members. The Air Ambulance is one of President David's nominated charities and it is hoped that the Club will be able to make a substantial donation to this charity at the end of his year in office.
David Duncombe illustrated the history and operations of the Air Ambulance service starting with its earliest days when it was a more basic transport service ferrying patients from serious incidents to hospitals for treatment. The operation took a major step forward when it was decided that the Air Ambulance crews should include a full medical team, capable of carrying out A & E surgery in the helicopter at the scene of the incident. Accordingly, specially trained Trauma Paramedics and experienced A & E Consultants are recruited to become part of the helicopter crew and new helicopters, adapted to house an "operating theatre with wings", were purchased.
Speed of response is of the utmost importance and whenever a 999 call is received at the ambulance call centre, a specially trained operator monitors the information and decides if an Air Ambulance would be an appropriate response. If it is, a "scramble button" is pressed and the helicopter will be airborne within four minutes of the 999 call. The Air Ambulance has priority over all other air traffic and its flight path is cleared completely by Air Traffic Control. It is reported that, on one occasion, a Royal Flight carrying the Prince of Wales had to be diverted out of the path of the Air Ambulance and a letter was sent by Prince Charles, congratulating the Air Ambulance on its service.
The helicopter should be able to reach any location in Kent within 14 minutes.
In earlier times, most patients were transported to hospital by the helicopter but now, with the full Trauma team attending, most patients are successfully treated at the scene and can be taken to hospital by land ambulance, freeing the helicopter for another "shout".
A major piece of equipment development has revolutionised treatment so that blood transfusions can be made at the scene of an incident. The problem was that blood must be stored at near to freezing point but must be transfused at body temperature. With assistance of a company which makes hair straighteners, a ceramic "radiator" was invented into which the stored blood is pumped and heated to body temperature in just four seconds! The Air Ambulance now carries four pints of "O Negative" blood at all times and this blood is supplied by "Blood Runners" (including our own Charlie Brightling) who transport the blood by motorcycle in case of emergency.
Another recent breakthrough has enabled the Air Ambulance to operate at night. The pilot can now use military-grade night vision goggles (which cost an "arm and a leg"!) and together with a co-pilot without goggles who can guide the helicopter down to the incident they can even land in urban environments safely.
Club Members were hugely impressed with everything they learnt about the Air Ambulance (and greatly reassured!) and will be making every effort to raise funds to help support this outstanding service which is almost entirely free of public funding. | aerospace |

There are three basic forces to be considered in aerodynamics: thrust, which moves an airplane forward; drag, which holds it back; and lift, which keeps it airborne. Lift is generally explained by three theories: Bernoulli’s principle, the Coanda effect, and Newton’s third law of motion.
Do planes lose altitude when turning?
Increased drag slows the airplane. Also, in a turn, there’s less area of lift under a wing, causing it to lose altitude. However, to compensate, pilots angle the airplane up as well as increase thrust (speed) to maintain a constant altitude during a turn. You’ll probably feel those changes in your stomach.
How is lift generated?
Lift is generated by the difference in velocity between the solid object and the fluid. There must be motion between the object and the fluid: no motion, no lift. It makes no difference whether the object moves through a static fluid, or the fluid moves past a static solid object. Lift acts perpendicular to the motion.
Can a plane fly with one engine?
Yes it can. A twin-engine aircraft can fly perfectly well on only one engine. In fact, it can even continue the take-off and then safely land with just one engine. Losing an engine in flight is not usually a particularly serious problem and the pilots are given extensive training to deal with such a situation.
Why do pilots say souls?
The number of “souls” on an aircraft refers to the total living bodies on the plane: every passenger, pilot, flight attendant and crew member, according to Lord-Jones. Pilots often report the number of “souls” when declaring an emergency, she says, so rescuers know the amount of people to search for.
Why are 777 engines so big?
The reason why: the new engines offer far greater fuel efficiency and much less noise thanks to composite 3D printed materials and larger fan blades. By reducing weight with previously unattainable materials, the engines are able to draw more air, which greatly improves the efficiency and noise part.
What caused 777 engine failure?
On Feb. 13, 2018, a 777 flying United Airlines passengers from San Francisco to Honolulu experienced a failure of the same type of engine over the Pacific. The plane landed safely in Honolulu. The NTSB concluded that a fan blade inside the engine fractured, leading to the failure.
How old are 777 planes?
|First flight||June 12, 1994|
|Span||199 feet 11 inches|
|Length||209 feet 1 inch|
Can a Boeing 777 fly on one engine?
Wide-body aircraft like the Boeing 777 are rated to fly for more than five hours on a single engine. Visit the Business section of Insider for more stories.
Can a Boeing 777 Glide?
In short, the 777, like all other airplanes, is able to glide quite far if it loses all engines.
Is Boeing 777 fly by wire?
The Boeing 777 is a formidable flying machine. Its Fly-By-Wire Flight Control System greatly enhances aircraft handling qualities, increases safety and reliability, reduces system weight and maintenance costs and lets the pilots have ultimate full authority over the ship at all times.
Is a 4 engine plane safer than 2?
Whilst four engines was traditionally seen as safer, this is not necessarily the case. Jet aircraft have proved very reliable – with very few cases of dual engine failure. In some ways, two engines are also safer! The possibility of a single engine failure is of course higher when you have four engines rather than two. | aerospace |

The pandemic reminded many of us of the important role that a humble post office plays in maintaining people’s connections. However, many rural communities struggle to access services that we often take for granted because of their location.
Royal Mail wants to change that and has identified over 50 postal routes that it wants to create using drones over the next three years.
The company is affiliated with a logistics drone company Wind racer The first routes identified for effort and service include the Isles of Scilly, the Shetland Islands, the Orkney Islands, and the Hebrides.
Stephen Wright, Chairman of Windracers, said:
“Especially remote supply and logistics middle miles have long been overlooked by the industry and the opportunity for innovation is ripe.
For the past five years, we have focused on developing the most commercially viable and essential logistics drones. Therefore, we are very pleased to work with Royal Mail on the deployment of this ambitious and pioneering autonomous aircraft.
This puts the UK at the forefront of this exciting sector. ”
UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) provide remote customers with something faster and more convenient.
Royal Mail has conducted four trials in the last 18 months. The latest trial took place last month in the Shetland Islands, where the UAV made a 50-mile (one-way) flight from Lerwick’s Tingwall Airport to Anst.
In the trial, we traveled using a twin-engine UAV with an autopilot system. Upon arrival at your destination, the drone will be unloaded and letters and parcels will be delivered from your local post office. Each UAV can carry up to 100 kg of mail of any shape and size.
Royal Mail believes that not only will it help connect local communities, but it will also help UAVs further reduce carbon emissions.
Simon Thompson, Chief Executive Officer of Royal Mail, commented:
“Our goal is to deliver on time, while protecting the environment, regardless of your location or weather.
Wherever you go, Royal Mail’s CO is already the lowest.2 Emissions per parcel delivered. This initiative will help further reduce emissions. ”
Rollout is Civil Aviation Bureau (CAA) However, Royal Mail aims to deploy 200 drones over the next three years to support more than 50 new routes.
In the long run, Royal Mail said it aims to more than double that number to create a fleet of 500 drones that “serve every corner of the UK.”

This flight was part of a balloon expedition to study cosmic rays in the vicinity of the equator during the International Quiet Sun Year (IQSY) organized and managed by the National Center for Atmospheric Research as a joint United States - India activity. The program was conducted in Hyderabad, India during the late winter and early spring of 1965.
The main instrument on this flight was an experiment provided by the AFCRL designed to measure the charge spectrum and the time variation of the heavy primary cosmic rays. The experiment consisted of a three-detector (one Cerenkov, two scintillators) telescope, linear amplifiers, logic circuitry, 300-channel pulse height analyzer, and onboard recording. The package turned itself on and off automatically at 75,000 ft and could be launched 'unattended.' The flights performed during the IQSY-EQEX experiment were the first of a series of such measurements to be made through a sunspot cycle.
Adittional payloads onboard were:
A self-recording ion chamber to obtain equator values for total ionization as part of complete latitude curve during period of minimum solar activity. The instrument was provided by the University of Minnesota group led by John R. Winckler;
A X-RAY Counter developed by the University of California aimed to measure atmospheric gamma ray as a continuation of an already performed measurement campaign carried out in Minneapolis and in New Mexico, thus completing a three-point latitude survey. Also using the low gamma ray background near the equator the scientists examined the quiet sun for X-ray emission in the 10 to 100 kev region.
Finally an Emulsion plastic particle detector provided by Tata Institute of Fundamental Research was also onboard to try to detect in the plates traces of heavy primary cosmic rays.

Always Onward Toward ExcellenceCadre member Matthew McWhirter reaffirms his oath of office upon promotion to captain, summer 2011.
Even before the inception of the premier air, space and cyber space force that we know as the United States Air Force, on 18 September 1947, a legacy of excellence was set in motion.
From the initial heavier-than-air flights by Orville and Wilbur Wright in the early 1900s to the development of newer aeronautical technologies throughout the two world wars, American's Airmen have had a drive toward excelling. Today, the members of United States Air Force are no different.
Therefore, it only makes sense that "Excellence in all we do" is one of the foundational principles that all Airmen must understand. Living up to the potential that this core value can drive out of an individual is one of the forefront reasons why the Air Force has been able to stand proud and project Airpower into combat operations, such as Kosovo, Bosnia, Iraq and Afghanistan.
The bottom line is that without Airmen striving to live up to this core value, we would not be where we are today. These are but a few of the driving factors as to why Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps places great emphasis on having each cadet learn, memorize and live out the core values from day one.
At Detachment 645, we stand proud. We have a long history of developing officers that are dedicated to living lives of excellence. If you think you have what it takes to stand proud and are motivated knowing that you will develop a desire to embody excellence, give us a call.

Just after the recession, it looked as if the aviation bubble burst prematurely. But since then, slowly and steadily, this field has been climbing up. Let us take a look at some of the latest developments taking place in the field of aviation and how it will generate more job opportunities in the near future.
Statistics and projections
Air travel is finding more and more takers! The number of air travel passengers is increasing with each passing year. Thanks to new private airlines coming up, air travel has become more economical and accessible to people. Even people from middle class socioeconomic level are also having easy access to air travel.
Number of air travel passenger is projected to grow by 5% for the next 15 years. At the same time cargo sector is projected to grow by 6% per year for the next 15 years. Looking at the above mentioned numbers, it is safe to say that aviation sector will become more and more popular among people. The demand for air travel will definitely rise. To meet the increased demand, airlines will have to boost the size and capacity of their services, something which will generate more job opportunities in this sector! Right now, at the time of writing this article, airline companies have already started increasing recruitment capacity and numbers! In fact this rise in aviation sector recruitment started 2 years before! And this trend is here to stay!
Intra-Asia-Pacific aviation market is the one to watch out for
Growth of aviation market will be a Global thing. It will take place around the World. Changes will take place relatively faster in case of developing countries. As per the International Air Transport Association, when it comes to passenger flights, Intra-Asia-Pacific aviation market will be the one to grab most of the growth!
Sustainable development to get more attention
With depleting fuel resources and rising fuel costs, sustainable development is something that the aviation sector will be taking up more seriously. On one hand, the rising demand for air travel has to be met. On the other hand, environmental and economic sustainability has to be taken care of. It will be interesting to watch how the aviation industry will be dealing with this challenging situation.
Career trends and prospects
I mentioned above that aviation industry has lots of challenges waiting ahead. How well this industry tackles these challenges will depend on aviation professionals and their skills. Highly skilled and talented workforce will be needed to ensure the steady growth of aviation sector. New job opportunities will be created. More and more pilots, air hostesses and cabin crew will be needed by the aviation industry. Other than them, the sector will also need professionals to take on the following roles and responsibilities-
- Air traffic management
- Airport management
- Weather forecasting
- Aircraft design
- Aircraft engineering
- Aircraft maintenance
- Safety and security professionals
- Research and development professionals
Aviation schools and Universities must also pitch in and create more aviation professionals to meet the rising demand. Universities must also take care of the graduates passing out each year. This can be done by updating present educational programs and introducing new undergraduate and postgraduate programs focusing on various sectors of aviation industry. | aerospace |

Middle and high school students will have the opportunity to learn more about aviation and aviation-related job opportunities at Aviation Career Education (ACE) academies that will be held across North Carolina this summer. Students will learn about the theory of flight, aviation’s history, aircraft maintenance and new technologies. Attendees will study real world aviation applications, aviation principles such as thrust and vectoring, and aircraft construction. They also will have the opportunity to fly radio-controlled aircraft and work on aircraft model design projects, as well as take field trips to aviation industry businesses and have the opportunity to fly in an airplane.
ACE Academy is brought to you by Mr. James Shaw who is dedicated to helping the youth of the city reach their goals.
Mr. Jim Shaw, while serving on the Board of the NCDOT Division of Aviation, learned that ACE Academies had been established in four other NC cities. Mr. Shaw requested that an ACE Academy also be established in Winston-Salem and offered his services to organize and operate an ACE Academy there. Since then the ACE Academy has had six great years of service to our community.
The Winston-Salem ACE Academy runs for two weeks. Middle school and High school students will meet in the summer. Final dates TBD. | aerospace |

Instead of analysing the features of these holes directly, a team located at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, chose to use a different approach.
The location of the poles "wandered" 10 degrees in latitude as the moon shifted this way and that due to the effects of asteroid collisions.
Scientists have discovered frozen water near the moon's poles, but they don't know how much there is.
Some frozen water may have sublimated (converted from a solid to a gaseous form) off the surface, such as the equator.
"Polar wander appears to have been modest enough for water near the poles based on the moon's cratering history."

After Scott Burns died in a 2003 plane crash in Livingston County, his brother filed a wrongful death lawsuit against several people and businesses connected to the accident, including airplane maker Piper Aircraft.
The suit cited possible cracks in the Piper Cherokee's rudder bar assembly as one of several potential causes of the crash. In the end, Scott's brother, Lance, dropped the lawsuit as more facts emerged, including a federal report that found a flight instructor's error probably caused the plane to crash in the town of Conesus.
"Ultimately, there was nothing to sue anybody about. It happened," Lance Burns said this week. "As much as I and my nieces were very upset and my sister-in-law was very upset, it's an accident."
A USA TODAY investigation found that while federal investigators frequently cite pilot errors as the causes of small plane and helicopter crashes like the one that killed Scott Burns and two others, defective parts and poor designs may be to blame more often than acknowledged.
Civil court judges and juries have ordered major manufacturers to pay hundreds of millions of dollars in damages for fatal crashes in which they were found to be liable, and aircraft makers also have paid out large sums in settlements, the investigation found.
Examples in the Rochester area, however, are scarce. Several local pilots and flight instructors said part failures are more often a result of poor maintenance, rather than any systemic defects, and that pilots are heavily trained to spot problems before takeoff.
"They go to great lengths to make things safe in aircraft design," said Hadrian Dailey, a Chili resident who works as an aircraft mechanic for a charter flight company in Buffalo and also owns his own plane.
Burns maintained this week that the facts in his brother's case show that pilot error caused the crash.
Scott Burns, who was from Sparta, Livingston County, died along with Shaun Bohrer of Greece and Bruce Kenyon of Wayland, Steuben County. The National Transportation Safety Board found that the crash was likely the result of an instructor's "failure to maintain adequate airspeed which resulted in an inadvertent spin."
In a separate case, former Gates residents Michael Robinson and his wife, Wendy, also filed a lawsuit in 2002 against Textron Lycoming, a company that made the engine in a Mooney M20E plane involved in a crash in Prattsburgh, Steuben County, in 1999.
According to the lawsuit and federal investigation, Michael Robinson was piloting the aircraft from Elmira, Chemung County, to Brockport when a propeller blade broke off in midair.
Robinson, who now lives in Florida, said this week that he broke his back while making an emergency landing. He now walks with a cane.
"When it first happened, I was in a wheelchair, never to get out of it again," he said. "I owe my surgeon a great debt of gratitude, I think."
Federal investigators found that "intergranular corrosion," not pilot error or lack of maintenance, probably caused the propeller to break.
"There was a defect in the (propeller) from day one," Robinson said.
He said the case was resolved behind closed doors and he could not discuss the outcome.
Local pilots and instructors said such incidents are rare and not evidence of widespread defects.
Dailey said manufacturers issue service bulletins when they uncover problems. The Federal Aviation Administration also requires plane owners to address certain safety deficiencies when they are identified in order to continue flying.
Most small plane designs were well-developed decades ago, Dailey said. "Systems on aircraft are both redundant and simple, and that's to make reliability," he said.
Todd Cameron, group commander of the Civil Air Patrol in Rochester and a volunteer with a local FAA Safety Team, said pilots are trained to be responsible for ensuring safety. That includes detecting any mechanical problems or flaws before they leave the ground. If a mechanical problem occurs, pilots are trained to address them, he said.
"What we spend a lot of time on in the aviation industry is that a mechanical failure doesn't have to and shouldn't impact the safety of the crew and the passengers," said Cameron, who also is a flight instructor.
After hearing a list of problems cited by critics of plane manufacturers, Dan Robinson, treasurer of the Greater Rochester International Airport-based Artisan Aviation Flying Club, said many are likely caused by a lack of maintenance or are known problems.
"Those are known things," he said. "They're not that new." | aerospace |

The Southern Hang Gliding club welcomes visiting pilots from the UK and Overseas, but they must join as temporary members.
Our sites are amongst the busiest in the country. With several hundred members and, compared to many other areas, relatively small sites, we need always to consider our usage in relation to others.
Our sites can get very busy indeed on a good paragliding day, even during the week. On the other hand, if you are a hang glider pilot coming on a stronger day, you will find our sites relatively uncrowded, and there will normally be plenty of room.
Each of our club sites has their own unique characteristics. All visiting pilots must be made aware of local rules and hazards. Read the site guide thoroughly and before flying seek advice on the hill from a club coach or experienced pilot.
All UK resident pilots must be members of the BHPA and also members of an affiliated club. Day membership of the SHGC is available for non-SHGC members (£10.00 payable to a committee member, site marshal or coach).
Visiting overseas pilots may fly as short-term (one week) temporary members of the club for which there is no charge, but must show proof of their national association membership, level of flying competence (IPPI 3 minimum) and third party insurance cover before flying any SHGC site.
We have acquired the use of our sites as a result of many years of patient and delicate negotiation. Our ongoing use of these sites often depends on our ability to demonstrate that our members will continue to comply with conditions agreed with landowners and tenant farmers. | aerospace |

GhanaSat-1, which was developed by students at All Nations University in Koforidua, was sent into orbit from the International Space Centre.
Cheers erupted as 400 people, including the engineers, gathered in the southern Ghanaian city to watch live pictures of the launch. The first signal was received shortly afterwards.
It is the culmination of a two-year project, costing $50,000 (£40,000).
It received support from the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA).
The satellite will be used to monitor Ghana’s coastline for mapping purposes, and to build capacity in space science and technology.
Project coordinator Dr Richard Damoah said it marked a new beginning for the country.
“It has opened the door for us to do a lot of activities from space,” he told the BBC.
He said it would “also help us train the upcoming generation on how to apply satellites in different activities around our region.

The airport is the home of the Canada Aviation Museum, which owns the field, and is used and maintained by the Rockcliffe Flying Club. The airport land was originally a military rifle range. In 1918, the Royal Air Force began using the field behind the range for experimental mail flights, and the airport opened officially in 1920 as the Ottawa Air Station, one of the six original airfields opened across Canada by the new Air Board. Since it is on the shore of the Ottawa river and the runways were connected to the riverfront by a road, it was one of very few airports capable of handling and transferring floatplanes on both land and water. On March 12, 1930, Canadian World War I flying ace William George Barker crashed into the Ottawa River and died during an aerial demonstration over the field. In July 1931, Charles Lindbergh and Anne Morrow Lindbergh visited the airport during their northern surveying tour. During World War II. Rockcliffe participated in the British Commonwealth Air Training Program and many other kinds of testing, training, and transport operations, including flying overseas mail to troops in Europe.
During the 1970s the airport was also used for scheduled short takeoff and landing (STOL) commercial flights to the short-lived Victoria STOLport near downtown Montreal. The objective was to demonstrate Twin OtterSTOL aircraft in downtown areas and avoid longer drives to the Ottawa and Montreal airports. For a variety of reasons STOL operations in downtown settings have not proven successful.
The military left the airport completely in 1994, but their aircraft collection remained to form the nucleus of the Canada Aviation Museum. Only one of the former triangle of runways remains active; runways 04/22 and 15/33 were closed along with most taxiways now servicing the aviation museum. | aerospace |

The ultimate goal is to have a road of these devices in the skies.
In the near future, roads could be in the skies as well as the ground. No, the subject is not flying cars, but rather a drone delivery system which is already being tested in Israel.
Several projects are being created from the knowledge of the Israeli air force, and are already being used to sushi and ice cream deliveries. Startup FlyTEch is already designing a model to avoid collisions in skies occupied by unmanned planes.
The company will go ahead with a two-year trial of the autonomous drone delivery initiative in Hadera and Haifa. This test will give indications as to whether or not Israel should go ahead with the large-scale project. creation of a national drone network for delivering groceries, medical transport and for urban air mobility, writes the Jerusalem Post.
The startup was born at Jerusalem College of Technology by the hands of Moshe Lugasi and Eliran Oren. already with a government contract, FlyTech’s aim is to use drones to cut delivery times and reduce traffic on the country’s roads.
The drones will use gliders run by autonomous software, which will make deliveries without humans controlling the service. FlyTech long-term wants to use military drones for public needs such as agriculture and construction. For emergencies, drones may also provide support through, for example, the blood transport.
About the future of the company, co-founder Eliran Oren reveals that he believes that “the product developed in the pilot drone program will be on the market in the coming years” and that we are facing a “transformation in the delivery industry” as it is expected that the system “replaces trucks and delivers to logistics centers”.
High Lander, which specializes in control autonomous drone traffic, and Cando, which helps strategize these devices, are other companies that are part of the Israeli government’s ambitions.
“The flight of a drone is not a problem. We are talking about multi-drones, coming from different producers, but they continue to monitor with our software to have the sure they don’t collide“High Lander Executive Director Alon Abelson tells AFP.
Both companies participated in a demonstration on a lawn in Tel Aviv, where three drones flew over skyscrapers – two carrying sushi and one carrying beer cans – which included a public-private partnership of around 5.3 million euros to develop Israeli technology.
“Our aim is to create a competitive market in Israel that is not dominated by one company. If we can get vehicles off the roads into the air, we can reduce traffic and air pollution… We can create a better and safer environment for delivering goods,” explains Daniella Partem, who leads the drone initiative at the Israel Innovation Authority.
Hadas Aharoni works at Airwayz and has monitored dozens of autonomous drone flights in the city of Hadera from Tel Aviv, 50 kilometers to the south.
“We can see patterns where drones lift and land, its heights, the batteries and all kinds of problems that we have to solve so that the drones get where they have to go”, explains Ahori, cited by France 24.
Until now, practical missions have been carried out to create airstrips in the city. Israeli companies are also following the growth of these projects.
Ice cream chain Golda has placed a device on the beachfront in Tel Aviv where customers can pass a QR code and order the products that reach them through drones.
“In less than 10 minutes they can receive the order, which is not possible with normal vehicles. I think as popularity grows, people will realize the value this adds,” concludes marketing director Talya Marder. | aerospace |

Many people think that only astronauts need to worry about cosmic radiation. Not so. Ordinary air travelers are exposed to cosmic rays, too. A recent study from researchers at Harvard found that flight attendants have a higher risk of cancer than members of the general population, and the International Commission on Radiological Protection has classified pilots as occupational radiation workers.
How much radiation do you absorb? Spaceweather.com and the students of Earth to Sky Calculus have been working to answer this question by taking cosmic ray detectors onboard commercial airplanes.

Team Italia members took part at the technical tour at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center: they had the chance to visit the clean room where part of the incredible James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) are being tested and integrated. It was really an exciting experience as that infrared telescope is a jewel of engineering: a mirror of 6,5 meters diameter built in 18 hexagonal-shaped segments 1 meter wide that weights one tenth of the Hubble telescope mirror!! And what about the folding\unfolding procedure to insert the system in the launcher available volume and deploy it as soon in space? A miracolous mix of smartness and technology! But the mirror design and realization is nothing with respect to the thermal control system design: the challenge is to keep the telescope sensitive element below 50K!!!A sunshield - sized almost like a tennis court(!) - consists of five layers of Kapton with aluminum and doped-silicon coatings to reflect the sun's heat back into space:an incredibly challenging thermal control design solved elegantly with passive systems; NASA Goddard Space Flight Center personell showed the clever deployng mechanism thought to unroll the flexible kapton over a trussed exagonal structure that support the protective film. | aerospace |

PASADENA, Calif. (AP) -- NASA says a small bright object detected on Mars is likely a piece of plastic from the Curiosity rover.
The six-wheel spacecraft captured an image of the puzzling object Monday after scooping up Martian sand and dust over the weekend.
In a statement Tuesday, the space agency says the plastic bit that fell off the rover is "benign." While plans are continuing to positively identify it, NASA says it is not "Martian material."
Curiosity will continue taking pictures of its surroundings as the project team decides the next move.
Curiosity landed in an ancient crater in August on a two-year mission to determine whether the environment was ever favorable for microbial life. It started driving toward its first science destination after a month checking out its instruments. | aerospace |

The Mission Operation Centre (MOC) is located at the European Space Operations Centre (ESOC) in Darmstadt, Germany. It is responsible for spacecraft operations and associated ground segment development. The MOC will provide the downlinked science data along with the relevant housekeeping data to the Science Operations Centre (SOC), and will receive science operation requests from the SOC.
The tasks of the MOC include mission planning, spacecraft monitoring and control, all orbit and attitude determination and control as well as scientific instrument operations (functional quality control and collection of the science telemetry). ESOC will provide a ground segment that comprises all facilities, hardware, software, documentation and staff, required to conduct the mission operations. Three ground stations (Cebreros, Spain, New Norcia, Australia and Malargüe, Argentina) will be used.
The ground operations facilities consist of: (a) the ground stations and the communications network (hardware and software); (b) the mission control centre (infrastructure, computer hardware); (c) the flight control system (data processing and flight dynamics software); (d) the spacecraft simulator. All mission and flight control facilities, except the ground stations, will be located at ESOC, including the interfaces for the provision of science telemetry to the scientific data reduction teams.
The scanning law will remain unmodified throughout the mission. Nominal spacecraft control during the routine mission phase will be ‘off line' - contacts between the Mission Control Centre at ESOC and the spacecraft, except for collecting payload and housekeeping telemetry, will primarily be used for pre-programming of the autonomous operations functions on the spacecraft (up-link of master schedule), and for science data collection. The science data will be distributed to the scientific processing centre at ESAC directly via high-speed communication lines. | aerospace |

A generator malfunction at Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport late Friday night caused five planes that were to land there to be diverted to other airports or return to where they originated, according to information from the Federal Aviation Administration and GSP.
The malfunction lengthened the trips of untold numbers of passengers Friday night and delayed flights for those who were to board those planes today.
The FAA issued a brief statement today explaining what happened: “At approximately 10:45 pm last night the Approach Light (ALS) Engine Generator failed at GSP. Five flights had to divert to other airports. The engine generator was returned to service at to approximately 1:40 am. The FAA is investigating.”
GSP spokeswoman Rosylin Weston that that weather conditions, among other factors, can trigger FAA protocols, and in this case low visibility caused FAA personnel to switch from commercial power to generator power.
“When they attempted to make the switch, the FAA generator that supported the approach lighting system did not come on,” she said. “Because that generator power was not available to support the approach lighting system, the FAA in the Greer tower made the decision that they couldn’t accept any more incoming flights.”
Weston said she knew of three fights that were diverted to other locations, an American Eagle, United Express and a Delta flight. She did not know where they went. She said a fourth flight either did not take off or turned around and went back. She did not have details about the fifth flight.
Weston said she did not have information about how many people were on the flights that were coming to GSP late Friday, nor how many were scheduled to board those planes today.
Generator failure has not caused delays of this type in the 15 years Weston has worked for GSP, she said, unless it happened without her knowledge, which she said is unlikely. | aerospace |

Air Canada Express' 1900D fleet are Beechcraft 1900Ds built from 1993-2001 and transferred to Air Canada Express service in 2011.
This series is operated by Air Canada Express, a subsidiary of Air Canada, under contract with Air Georgian and Exploits Valley Air Services. Prior to service with Air Canada Express, this series operated for Air Canada Alliance.
This series primarily operates short-range regional and transborder flights. EVAS flights mainly perform eastern Canada flights.
In 2018, aircraft in this series had their Air Canada Express livery removed and did not receive the new 2017 livery.
About The Aircraft:
The Beechcraft 1900 is a 19-passenger, pressurized twin-engine turboprop regional airliner manufactured by Beechcraft. It is also used as a freight aircraft and corporate transport, and by several governmental and military organizations. With customers favoring larger regional jets, Raytheon ended production in October 2002.
Developed from the Beechcraft Super King Air, the aircraft was designed to carry passengers in all weather conditions from airports with relatively short runways. It is capable of flying in excess of 600 miles (970 km), although few operators use its full-fuel range. In terms of the number of aircraft built and its continued use by many passenger airlines and other users, it is one of the most popular 19-passenger airliners in history. Wikipedia

The first flight of the prototype took place in 1938, and from the beginning of 1940, the D520 began to enter the linear units under the designation D.520C1. Initially, the French air force ordered in 1939 only 200 pieces, but its size was increased, until in April 1940 it was already for the delivery of 2,320 machines (military aviation and navy). The serial machine was powered by a Hispano-Suiza 12Y-45 engine with a capacity of 930KM. Despite the implementation of very modern for those times production methods, until May 1940, only 32 aircraft were delivered to line units, although several dozen machines were delivered to them during the course of the fighting. This was because one D.520 required 7,000 man-hours to complete, compared to 4,500 for the Me109E. The first vessel to receive the D.520 was the Groupe de Chasse I / 3. During the 1940 campaign, the plane turned out to be a bit slower than the Me109E, but definitely more maneuverable, and with at least a comparable rate of climb. He was, without a doubt, as formidable a fighter as his Luftwaffe opponent. Units armed with the D520 shot down a total of 114 enemy masses in May and June 1940. The quality of the D520 is evidenced by the fact that it served in the Vichy State aviation until 1942, as well as was used by the Luftwaffe and produced for the needs of the allies of the Third Reich - mainly Bulgaria and Romania. After 1945, the surviving D520 served as training planes in the French Air Force until 1953. Technical data: Maximum speed: 560 km / h, rate of climb: 14.3 m / s, maximum ceiling 10000 m, maximum range: 1250 km, armament: fixed - 1 20mm Hispano-Suiza HS.404 cannon and 4 machine guns MAC 1934 cal. 7.5 mm.

The S-500 surface-to-air missile system successfully struck a target 299 miles away, which the U.S. assessed is 50 miles further than any known test, said the sources, who spoke to CNBC on the condition of anonymity.
Russia claims that the ground-based missile system is capable of intercepting hypersonic missiles, drones and aircraft as well as stealth warplanes like the F-22 and the F-35. The S-500 system would expand the Kremlin’s capabilities to engage multiple targets with precision strikes. Read more at CNBC. | aerospace |

The first Italian F-35A Lightning II for the Italian armed forces, known as AL-1, marked a production milestone for Italy’s national defense and aerospace industry.
«When Leonardo DaVinci first envisioned human flight as an Italian creation, there is no way he could have imagined what we have here today», said Lieutenant General Chris Bogdan, F-35 Joint Program Executive Officer. «The F-35 aircraft built here in Cameri will take flight on the wings of Italian craftsmanship, ingenuity, and skill and will help build the first global fleet of fifth generation fighters».
Italy is the sixth nation to receive an F-35 joining Australia, Netherlands, Norway, United Kingdom and the United States with jets in their service’s inventory.
The F-35s being assembled and delivered at the Italian FACO will transition to Italy’s Aeronautica Militare (Air Force) and Marina Militare (Navy). AL-1 first rolled out of the production facility in March with first flight September 7, one month ahead of schedule. Italy’s first two pilots have begun F-35 flight training at Luke Air Force Base, Arizona, where Cameri-built F-35As will be delivered in 2016 to support international pilot training.
«This is a monumental achievement for the F-35 program», said Lorraine Martin, Lockheed Martin F-35 Program General Manager. «The F-35 provides Italy’s aerospace industry with high technology work, ensuring the future health and competitiveness for their defense industry. To date, Italian industry has contracts worth more than $1 billion, along with opportunities for additional work over the life of the program».

The newest Stargate printer technology moves horizontally as it feeds multiple wires into a single print head to print orbital rockets.
October 27, 2022
Relativity Space, builder of 3D printed rockets and large metal 3D printers, has unveiled the latest iteration of its manufacturing platform, Stargate 4th Generation metal 3D printers. These printers will underpin the development and rate production of Terran R, Relativity’s fully reusable, 3D printed rocket that will be capable of launching 20,000 kg to low Earth orbit (LEO).
The newest Stargate printer technology moves horizontally as it feeds multiple wires into a single print head to print orbital rockets. Relativity is developing customized software and machine learning techniques to allow these printers to print complex and larger metal products.
Most immediately, Stargate 4th Generation printers will serve as the primary manufacturing infrastructure for Terran R production.
Lighter, more cost-effective aerospace product production through rapid iteration is generated by leveraging Stargate printers and material science advancements developed in Relativity’s in-house metallurgical laboratory, according to the company. Most immediately, Terran R will be the first product in a series of products to benefit from use of lighter materials and a faster production time.
“Large-scale products that are designed to fly will inevitably be 3D printed,” says Tim Ellis, cofounder and CEO of Relativity Space. “The lighter a product is, the better it performs, and when 3D printing that product, it’s also faster and more cost-effective to produce with each successive improvement.
“We see 3D printing as an automation technology that has the power to change the pace of innovation in manufacturing, which is why we’ve invested in building our own proprietary tech stack from day one,” says Ellis. “Stargate printers are designed to unlock rapid iteration, which opens up opportunities for innovation in large-scale manufacturing products.”
“Iteration empowers innovation not only in our rocket design, but also in our own Stargate printers,” says Scott Van Vliet, SVP of Software Engineering. “We’re fundamentally changing the way our factories are designed and operating, and by flipping the script and going horizontal, we’re radically increasing our capacity for scale. Being a software-driven manufacturing company allows us to achieve unique product features, such as integrated pad-ups and domes, with radical flexibility.”
The majority of Terran R components will be printed inside Relativity’s new 1MM+-sq.-ft. headquarters in Long Beach, named The Wormhole.
The Wormhole, a former Boeing C-17 manufacturing plant, was secured by Relativity to be its new headquarters in 2021. Currently 33% operational, the factory has several Stargate 4th Generation printers online with more than a dozen printers planned to be producing Terran R components in the coming months.
At full capacity forecasted run rate, each Stargate 4thGeneration printer is capable of producing 4 Terran R rockets per year.
About Relativity Space
Relativity invented a new approach to design, print, and fly its own rockets, starting a 3D printed rocket, Terran 1, and Terran R, a larger, fully reusable, 3D printed launch vehicle.
As a vertically integrated technology platform, Relativity is entrenched in a shift toward software-defined manufacturing. By fusing 3D printing, artificial intelligence and autonomous robotics, Relativity offers a simplified supply chain, building a rocket with much less parts in less than 60 days.

Are they still operating? Is anybody listening to them?
Asked by: Chris Preston
These space probes are still operating though they are not providing scientific
information any longer. In fact NASA announced just recently that it was going to
try to make contact with Pioneer if the craft is still capable of sending
transmissions. Voyager 1 is now about 12 billion kilometers from earth and Pioneer
(actually Pioneer 10) is even farther away and heading towards the constellation
Taurus (though it won't get there any time soon!).

The request seeks industry insight into both the satellite network plan and technical aspects of the satellites themselves. Feedback on satellite bus, payload, applique and launch concepts that can contribute to the new agency’s strategy are all included in the request.
The current plan is to have all the satellites organized into eight constellations, or layers, that will provide different data to the military. The layers, as listed in the RFI, are space transport, tracking, custody, deterrence, navigation, battle management and support. A key element for the success of the satellites will be keeping the data links at each layer in constant contact with ground operations.
The agency was chartered in March by then-acting Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan to help bolster the military’s push into the final frontier of space. The Air Force houses a Space Command, but President Donald Trump has called for a separate space force. A stand-alone branch dedicated to space has yet to be funded by Congress, but this year’s National Defense Authorization Act could answer those calls in some form.
Much of the strategy outlined in the document focuses on the threat from Russia and China and explains how different layers of satellites would deter the countries’ power.
“[M]aintaining our advantage in space is critical to winning these long-term strategic competitions,” the request states in reference to Russia and China. The “multi-functional constellation of small satellites” is designed with those threats in mind, the request goes on to say. | aerospace |

July 26, ‘193$. 2,125,063 R. H. BURGESS PROPULSION MECHANISM FOR AIRCRAFT Filed May 27, 1936 ‘ INVENTOR. ugess. BY/Zf/, ,4”, ATTO EY ‘2,125,063 Patented July 26, 1938 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE , 2,125,063 PROPULSION MECHANISM FORv AIRCRAFT Richard H. Burgess, San Antonio, Tex. Application May 27, 1936, Serial No. 82,119' 5 Claims. (Cl. 244—-'72) This invention relates to an improved pro pulsion’ mechanism for aircraft, being especially designed for use in conjunction with aeroplanes and gliders. Among other objects, the invention seeks to 5 provide a Wing tip which may be oscillated, ei ther manually or by power, relative to the body of the Wing for propelling the aircraft forwardly with the greatest ei?ciency in proportion to the 10 effort expended. A further object of the invention is to provide a wing tip composed of a plurality of parallel blades and wherein said blades will be so con structed and mounted that as the wing tip is 15 swung upwardly, the blades will yieldably de?ect downwardly to act on the air for driving the air craft forwardly while, as the wing tip is swung downwardly, the blades will yieldably de?ect upwardly to act on the air for a like purpose. And the invention seeks, as a still further ob 20 ject, to provide a wing tip of unique and novel construction. Other and incidental objects of the inven tion not speci?cally mentioned in the foregoing 25 will appear during the course of the following description and in the drawing which forms a part of my application, Figure l is a plan view of my improved mech anism. Figure 2 is an enlarged detail sectional View showing the construction of the blades of the wing tip. Figure 3 is a transverse section through one of the blades and showing the manner in which the blades are adapted to be de?ected both upwardly and downwardly. Figure 4 is a detail section showing the levers for rocking the wing tip. Figure 5 is a fragmentary section showing a slightly modi?ed form of blade. Figure 6 is an enlarged detail section of the modi?ed structure. Referring now more particularly to the draw ing, I have shown the body of an aeroplane or glider wing at Ill. The wing body may be of any approved construction and is straight at its outer end. Mounted to swing up and down relative to the wing body H1 at the outer end thereof is a 50 wing tip. This wing tip comprises a hinge rod or header II from which projects a plurality of spaced parallel lateral studs l2 and ?xed to said studs are blades I3 slightly spaced apart and all normally lying in the same plane. Each of the blades I3 includes a flexible re silient stem l4 looped .at its free end portion to provide a substantially U-shaped frame [5 and slipped over said frame from the outer end there of is a bag of canvas or the like forming a web H5. The bag is closed at its outer end and will be held taut by the resiliency of the frame I5, the overlapping thicknesses of the bag being cemented together by dope which will also serve to secure the web on the frame. While any ap proved material may be employed still, the stems 0 l5 are each preferably formed of a length of bamboo cored out at its larger end and slipped over one of the studs l2 to- which the length of bamboo is suitably ?xed. This construction is light in weight and the bamboo possesses the 15 necessary strength, toughness and resiliency. Extending between the stems near their inner ends is an appropriate brace rod ll. If preferred, a straight length of bamboo may be employed to form a stem [8 and ?xed to said stem at spaced points are loops IQ of resilient wire. These loops are provided With studs 20 which extend through the stem and securing the loops to the stem are cotter pins 2|. The sev eral loops provide a frame which carries a web 25 22 like the webs I 6. Projecting from the outer end of the wing body l0 are spars 23 to which the rod H is hingedly connected in any appropriate manner and ex tending laterally in opposite directions from said 30 rod are levers 24. Attached to said levers are cables 25 which extend into the fusilage of the aircraft and may be operated manually or by power for swinging the wing tip up and down. As the wing tip swings upwardly, downward canting of the webs l6 of the blades l3 will be‘ resisted by the stems M of said blades but the Webs will, however, be de?ected by the air and move into a downward angular position to act on the air for propelling the aircraft forwardly. Similarly, as the wing tip swings downwardly, the webs l6 of the blades will be de?ected into an up ward angular position for propelling the aircraft forwardly so that both the upward and down ward movement of the wing tip will be utilized for driving the aircraft ahead. Having thus described the invention what I claim is: 1. Propulsion mechanism for aircraft including in combination with a wing body, a wing tip '“ hinged to the wing body and composed of a plu rality of blades including ?exible stems provided with lateral webs, the stems being resiliently twistable to torsionally resist but yield to both upward and downward de?ection of the Webs by 2 2,125,063 the air as the wing tip is swung, and means for swinging said tip. 2. Propulsion mechanism for aircraft including a header, ?exible resilient stems carried by the header and looped to form U-shaped frames each having a single leg thereof ?xed to the header, envelops ?tting over said frames and pro viding blades having webs extending laterally from the stems, the several blades forming a wing 10 tip, means for hingedly connecting said tip with a wing, and means for swinging said tip. 3. Propulsion mechanism for aircraft including a rod having spaced studs extending therefrom to form a header, ?exible resilient stems ?xed to 15 said studs and looped to form frames each hav ing a single leg thereof engaged with one of said studs respectively, fabric bags engaged over said 20 frames and forming blades having webs extend ing laterally from said stems, the several blades forming a wing tip, means for hingedly con necting said tip with a wing, and means for swinging said tip. 4. Propulsion mechanism for aircraft includ ing a wing body, a plurality of double-acting blades hinged at the outer end of the wing body to form a swingingly supported wing tip, the blades being spaced to freely and individually twist downwardly as the wing tip is swung up wgardly and upwardly as the wing tip is swung downwardly and being torsionally resilient for exerting a forward propelling force on both the upward and downward movement of the wing 10 tip, and means for swinging said tip. 5. Propulsion mechanism for aircraft including a plurality of blades, means supporting the blades to swing as a unit, said blades being spaced to freely and individually twist downwardly as the 15 blades are swung upwardly and upwardly as the blades are swung downwardly and being torsion ally resilient for exerting a forward propelling force on both the upward and downward swing ing movement of the blades, and means for 20 swinging the blades.

The Beaufighter IF was one of the first aircraft to be equipped with radar for night hunting. Hidden in their own bomber stream, they waited for the rear-facing radar to come up attacking enemy night fighters, only to pounce on them.
The “Level 5” kit (03854) is reportedly a updated version of the new tool Beaufighter (03943) released in 2018 and will reportedly include new parts, a cockpit with consoles and instrument panel, separate rudder, V-tail with separate elevators, detailed Hercules engines and separate ailerons and flaps.

|Stability and Control Systems|
Making a rocket stable requires some form of control system. Controls can be either active or passive. The difference between these and how they work will be explained later. It is first important to understand what makes a rocket stable or unstable.
All matter, regardless of size, mass, or shape, has a point inside called the center of mass (CM). The center of mass is the exact spot where all of the mass of that object is perfectly balanced. You can easily find the center of mass of an object such as a ruler by balancing the object on your finger. If the material used to make the ruler is of uniform thickness and density, the center of mass should be at the halfway point between one end of the stick and the other. If the ruler were made of wood, and a heavy nail were driven into one of its ends, the center of mass would no longer be in the middle. The balance point would then be nearer the end with the nail.
The center of mass is important in rocket flight because it is around this point that an unstable rocket tumbles. As a matter of fact, any object in flight tends to tumble. Throw a stick, and it tumbles end over end. Throw a ball, and it spins in flight. The act of spinning or tumbling is a way of becoming stabilized in flight. A Frisbee will go where you want it to only if you throw it with a deliberate spin. Try throwing a Frisbee without spinning it. If you succeed, you will see that the Frisbee flies in an erratic path and falls far short of its mark.
In flight, spinning or tumbling takes place around one or more of three axes. They are called roll, pitch, and yaw. The point where all three of these axes intersect is the center of mass. For rocket flight, the pitch and yaw axes are the most important because any movement in either of these two directions can cause the rocket to go off course. The roll axis is the least important because movement along this axis will not affect the flight path. In fact, a rolling motion will help stabilize the rocket in the same way a properly passed football is stabilized by rolling (spiraling) it in flight. Although a poorly passed football may still fly to its mark even if it tumbles rather than rolls, a rocket will not. The action-reaction energy of a football pass will be completely expended by the thrower the moment the ball leaves the hand. With rockets, thrust from the engine is still being produced while the rocket is in flight. Unstable motions about the pitch and yaw axes will cause the rocket to leave the planned course. To prevent this, a control system is needed to prevent or at least minimize unstable motions.
In addition to center of mass, there is another important center inside the rocket that affects its flight. This is the center of pressure (CP). The center of pressure exists only when air is flowing past the moving rocket. This flowing air, rubbing and pushing against the outer surface of the rocket, can cause it to begin moving around one of its three axes. Think for a moment of a weather vane. A weather vane is an arrow-like stick that is mounted on a rooftop and used for telling wind direction. The arrow is attached to a vertical rod that acts as a pivot point. The arrow is balanced so that the center of mass is right at the pivot point. When the wind blows, the arrow turns, and the head of the arrow points into the on-coming wind. The tail of the arrow points in the downwind direction.
The reason that the weather vane arrow points into the wind is that the tail of the arrow has a much larger surface area than the arrowhead. The flowing air imparts a greater force to the tail than the head, and therefore the tail is pushed away. There is a point on the arrow where the surface area is the same on one side as the other. This spot is called the center of pressure. The center of pressure is not in the same place as the center of mass. If it were, then neither end of the arrow would be favored by the wind and the arrow would not point. The center of pressure is between the center of mass and the tail end of the arrow. This means that the tail end has more surface area than the head end.
It is extremely important that the center of pressure in a rocket be located toward the tail and the center of mass be located toward the nose. If they are in the same place or very near each other, then the rocket will be unstable in flight. The rocket will then try to rotate about the center of mass in the pitch and yaw axes, producing a dangerous situation. With the center of pressure located in the right place, the rocket will remain stable.
Control systems for rockets are intended to keep a rocket stable in flight and to steer it. Small rockets usually require only a stabilizing control system. Large rockets, such as the ones that launch satellites into orbit, require a system that not only stabilizes the rocket, but also enable it to change course while in flight.
Controls on rockets can either be active or passive. Passive controls are fixed devices that keep rockets stabilized by their very presence on the rocket's exterior. Active controls can be moved while the rocket is in flight to stabilize and steer the craft.
The simplest of all passive controls is a stick. The Chinese fire-arrows were simple rockets mounted on the ends of sticks. The stick kept the center of pressure behind the center of mass. In spite of this, fire-arrows were notoriously inaccurate. Before the center of pressure could take effect, air had to be flowing past the rocket. While still on the ground and immobile, the arrow might lurch and fire the wrong way.
Years later, the accuracy of fire-arrows was improved considerably by mounting them in a trough aimed in the proper direction. The trough guided the arrow in the right direction until it was moving fast enough to be stable on its own.
As will be explained in the next section, the weight of the rocket is a critical factor in performance and range. The fire-arrow stick added too much dead weight to the rocket, and therefore limited its range considerably.
An important improvement in rocketry came with the replacement of sticks by clusters of lightweight fins mounted around the lower end near the nozzle. Fins could be made out of lightweight materials and be streamlined in shape. They gave rockets a dartlike appearance. The large surface area of the fins easily kept the center of pressure behind the center of mass. Some experimenters even bent the lower tips of the fins in a pinwheel fashion to promote rapid spinning in flight. With these "spin fins," rockets become much more stable in flight. But this design also produces more drag and limits the rocket's range.
With the start of modern rocketry in the 20th century, new ways were sought to improve rocket stability and at the same time reduce overall rocket weight. The answer to this was the development of active controls. Active control systems included vanes, movable fins, canards, gimbaled nozzles, vernier rockets, fuel injection, and attitude-control rockets. Tilting fins and canards are quite similar to each other in appearance. The only real difference between them is their location on the rockets. Canards are mounted on the front end of the rocket while the tilting fins are at the rear. In flight, the fins and canards tilt like rudders to deflect the air flow and cause the rocket to change course. Motion sensors on the rocket detect unplanned directional changes, and corrections can be made by slight tilting of the fins and canards. The advantage of these two devices is size and weight. They are smaller and lighter and produce less drag than the large fins.
Other active control systems can eliminate fins and canards altogether. By tilting the angle at which the exhaust gas leaves the rocket engine, course changes can be made in flight. Several techniques can be used for changing exhaust direction.
Vanes are small finlike devices that are placed inside the exhaust of the rocket engine. Tilting the vanes deflects the exhaust, and by action-reaction the rocket responds by pointing the opposite way.
Another method for changing the exhaust direction is to gimbal the nozzle. A gimbaled nozzle is one that is able to sway while exhaust gases are passing through it. By tilting the engine nozzle in the proper direction, the rocket responds by changing course
Vernier rockets can also be used to change direction. These are small rockets mounted on the outside of the large engine. When needed they fire, producing the desired course change.
In space, only by spinning the rocket along the roll axis or by using active controls involving the engine exhaust can the rocket be stabilized or have its direction changed. Without air, fins and canards have nothing to work upon. (Science fiction movies showing rockets in space with wings and fins are long on fiction and short on science.) The most common kinds of active control used in space are attitude-control rockets. Small clusters of engines are mounted all around the vehicle. By firing the right combination of these small rockets, the vehicle can be turned in any direction. As soon as they are aimed properly, the main engines fire, sending the rocket off in the new direction.

Nigeria plans to send an astronaut into space by 2030, as part of her drive to develop a world-class space industry.
This was announced by the country’s Minister of Science and Technology, Dr Ogbonnaya Onu, according to a report by CNN on Wednesday.
“The space program is very important. Space is a major asset that Nigeria must be involved in for the purpose of protecting national interests,” Dr Onu said.
To this end, a Nigerian Space Agency delegation will visit partners in China this month to discuss logistics and investment for a manned space mission, which would be the first by an African nation.
Nigeria’s space industry has grown steadily in the last decade.
The National Space Research and Development Agency (NASRDA) has launched five satellites since 2003, with three still in orbit delivering vital services. The most recent – Nigeria Sat-X — was the first to be designed and constructed by NASRDA engineers, and more advanced models are in development.
Launching an astronaut into orbit presents a greater challenge than Nigeria’s previous missions, but experts say the country can pull it off.
According to them, if Nigeria succeeds, it will inspire other countries in the continent to invest in space programmes.

Since the start of the Afghan crisis last month, Pakistan is the only country to resume flights to Kabul.
Kabul: It’s been almost a month and a half since the Taliban took over Afghanistan and were forced to flee the democratically elected Afghan government. Till now commercial flights have not started fully at Kabul airport.
Meanwhile, a letter has been written on behalf of the Taliban to the Government of India. The Islamic Emirate of the Taliban in Afghanistan has written a letter Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) to resume commercial flights to Kabul, according to media reports.
The Ministry of Civil Aviation (MoCA) is currently reviewing the Taliban’s letter.
Pakistan first to resume flights to Kabul
Earlier, the first international commercial flight landed at Kabul airport for the first time nearly a month after the Taliban took over Afghanistan. A Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) plane carrying a handful of passengers landed at the Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul.
International flights were suspended only after the Taliban captured Afghanistan on 15 August.

A giant asteroid, approximately four times larger than the Empire State Building, will zip past the Earth at a min-boggling speed of 47,200 mph (~76,000 kph) as we look forward to the weekend on Friday, May 27, Live Science reported. In a way, the asteroid will mark the first month anniversary of another big asteroid that zipped past our planet at 23,000 miles (~37,000 kph) an hour on April 28th, last month. This is why NASA tracks more than 29,000 Near-Earth Objects (NEOs) every year.
A stony asteroid, 7335 was first spotted in 1989 at the Palomar Observatory in San Diego, California. Since the Earth has its own orbit to follow, the asteroid and our home planet luckily do not cross paths that often. Nevertheless, NASA classifies 7335 as a potentially hazardous asteroid, meaning if the giant rock were ever to change its trajectory and hit Earth, it could do enormous damage.
The human race is well aware of the dangers of such a deviation, and is currently looking for ways to redirect asteroids if we ever find them heading towards us. It is worth mentioning that neither of these missions aims to blast an asteroid with a nuclear bomb, as Hollywood movies would have us believe.

New Radio Telescope Makes First Scientific Observations
The world's two largest radio telescopes have combined to make detailed radar images of the cloud-shrouded surface of Venus and of a tiny asteroid that passed near the Earth. The images mark the first scientific contributions from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) new Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope in West Virginia, which worked with the NSF's recently-upgraded Arecibo telescope in Puerto Rico. The project used the radar transmitter on the Arecibo telescope and the huge collecting areas of both telescopes to receive the echoes.
"These images are the first of many scientific contributions to come from the Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope, and a great way for it to begin its scientific career," said Paul Vanden Bout, director of the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO). "Our congratulations go to the scientists involved in this project as well as to the hard-working staffs at Green Bank and Arecibo who made this accomplishment possible," Vanden Bout added.
To the eye, Venus hides behind a veil of brilliant white clouds, but these clouds can be penetrated by radar waves, revealing the planet's surface. The combination of the Green Bank Telescope (GBT), the world's largest fully-steerable radio telescope, and the Arecibo telescope, the world's most powerful radar, makes an unmatched tool for studying Venus and other solar-system bodies.
"Having a really big telescope like the new Green Bank Telescope to receive the radar echoes from small asteroids that are really close to the Earth and from very distant objects like Titan, the large moon of Saturn, will be a real boon to radar studies of the solar system." said Cornell University professor Donald Campbell, leader of the research team.
Ten years ago, the radar system on NASA's Magellan spacecraft probed though the clouds of Venus to reveal in amazing detail the surface of the Earth's twin planet. These new studies using the GBT and Arecibo, the first since Magellan to cover large areas of the planet's surface, will provide images showing surface features as small as about 1 km (3,000 ft), only three times the size of the Arecibo telescope itself.
Venus may be a geologically active planet similar to the Earth, and the new images will be used to look for changes on Venus due to volcanic activity, landslides and other processes that may have modified the surface since the Magellan mission. The radar echoes received by both telescopes also can be combined to form a radar interferometer capable of measuring altitudes over some of the planet's mountainous regions with considerably better detail than was achieved by Magellan.
These were the first scheduled observations with the new Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope, demonstrating its capabilities for solar-system studies. In addition to the observations of Venus, a tiny 150m (500 ft) asteroid, 2001 EC16, was imaged with the two telescopes working as a combined radar system on March 26 when the asteroid was only 8 times the distance of the Moon from the Earth. The image could show details on the asteroid's surface only 15 meters (50 ft) in size and shows EC16 to be an irregularly shaped object rotating about once every 200 hrs, one of the slowest rotation rates so far measured for these objects. It took about 20 seconds for the radar signal to go to EC16 and back, compared with the almost 5 minutes needed to go to Venus and back. EC16 was discovered by the NEAT asteroid survey on March 15, 11 days prior to the radar observations. Very large numbers of these near-Earth asteroids are being discovered and the combined Arecibo-GBT radar system will be needed to properly study a significant number of them.
The observing team led by Campbell also included Jean-Luc Margot of Caltech, Lynn Carter of Cornell, and Bruce Campbell of the Smithsonian Institution.
The 100-meter (330 feet) Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope was dedicated in August 2000 and now is being prepared for routine scientific operation. It is operated by the National Radio Astronomy Observatory, headquartered in Charlottesville, Virginia. It is the largest fully-steerable telescope in the world. It is a highly advanced telescope with a mechanized reflecting surface and a laser measurement system for continuous adjustments to its structure.
The 305-meter (1,000 feet) Arecibo telescope recently has completed a major upgrade funded by the NSF and NASA to improve its observing capabilities, including a more powerful radar transmitter for planetary studies. It is operated by the National Astronomy and Ionosphere Center (NAIC) headquartered at Cornell University. Its reflector is fixed to the ground, and is the largest telescope of any type in the world. The radar capability of Arecibo, combined with the large reflectors of Arecibo and Green Bank, make for a uniquely powerful radar imaging capability. Both observatories are facilities of the National Science Foundation. The NRAO is operated for the NSF by Associated Universities, Inc., under a cooperative agreement. NAIC is operated by Cornell University, also under a cooperative agreement with the NSF.

Source : brand new Terrafugia TF-X flying car revealed
brand new design for Terrafugia’s second flying car type, which should go on sale in 2021 having a starting cost in excess of £0,000
Terrafugia, the company behind the Transition car-plane by 2012, will be back having a brand new flying car design dubbed TF-X.
Described as being “the flying car for all of us”, the four-seat TF-X features a plug-in hybrid powertrain which powers both its wheels when on the ground in addition to two electrically driven rotors for flight. the idea’s capable of vertical take-off in addition to landing, as opposed to needing a runway to become airborne.
Once inside the air, the TF-X incorporates a claimed range of 500 miles, although Terrafugia hasn’t specified a cruising speed. The firm’s first type, the Transition, can travel up to 410 miles at a cruising speed of 100mph. The Transition will be powered by a 99bhp Rotax aircraft engine that will’s capable of returning a claimed 35mpg on the road.
When in flight, the TF-X will be effectively autonomous, with its makers saying the vehicle can avoid additional air traffic, bad weather in addition to restricted air space in addition to navigate to a pre-specified landing zone – in addition to pre-selected backup landing zones – by itself, although manual controls in addition to overrides also exist. A final landing can only be approved by the driver, in addition to a full-vehicle parachute system acts as a back-up.
Terrafugia says that will learning to drive the TF-X will be likely to take just all 5 hours, in addition to that will the final design “should be statistically safer than driving a modern automobile”. The vehicle will be able to fit into a standard single-car garage.
The first outside design for the TF-X was unveiled in 2013, with development to bring the vehicle to production scheduled to last between eight in addition to 12 years. that will means the TF-X won’t be on sale until 2021 at the earliest, with Terrafugia saying the vehicle will be priced to compete with current high-end luxury cars.
With the Transition currently costing $279,000 (about £180,000), a starting cost of over £0,000 will be likely for the TF-X.
US-based Terrafugia was founded in 2006 by aeronautics in addition to management graduates by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The company currently has 20 employees.
Flying cars – the rivals
AeroMobil 3.0 – that will two-seat Slovakian design was first flown in 2013. the idea uses the same Rotax 912 engine as the TF-X in addition to incorporates a claimed range of 435 miles.
Skyrunner – Unlike most additional flying cars, the Skyrunner doesn’t use a fixed wing design. Instead, a 1.0-litre Ford EcoBoost engine provides thrust to achieve powered parachute flight. the vehicle was unveiled in 2013 in addition to costs by £74,282.
Moller Skycar – Another VTOL-capable design, the Skycar features seating for four in addition to incorporates a claimed range of 805 miles in addition to a top speed of 331mph.
Xplorair PX200 – The 660kg single-seat PX200 has only so far been shown as a 1/2-scale type. A full-size radio-controlled prototype will be scheduled to be flown at the Paris air show in 2017, before manned flights begin in 2020.

Written by Robert G. Waldvogel
If a person about to board an airplane in Omaha were asked where he was flying to and he responded, “Omaha,” he may receive a few perplexed looks and even an audible, “But aren’t you there now?” Yet, when you live in metropolises that support multiple airports, such as New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, London, Paris, and Tokyo, it is possible to fly from one to the other.
While distances between them may not be that excessive, surface travel, particularly during rush hours, can require excess time, and there is nothing like landing at an airport and proceeding to the next gate for a connecting flight and even having your checked baggage interlined to it.
New York, my hometown, qualifies as having one of these inter-airport networks. At least it has tried throughout the years, but none were successful. Aside from the obvious JFK International, La Guardia, and Newark Liberty International airports, there are secondary or satellite airfields, such as White Plains’ Westchester County and Islip’s Long Island MacArthur Airports, and even a tertiary one, Farmingdale’s Republic Airport. And all this excludes heliports.
Several fixed- and rotary-wing air shuttles were launched over the years, and a recent reflection enabled me to review the ones I took.
New York Airways, one of them, made a valiant, two-decade attempt to offer scheduled, rotary-wing service within the tri-airport network with the Boeing-Vertol V-107-II.
The type, which eventually became its flagship and virtual symbol of it, not only traces its origins to a design, but to the very, manufacturer that created it. Vertol, a Philadelphia-based, rotary-wing company, was concurrently designing two tandem-rotor helicopters—namely, the Chinook for the US Army and the CH-46A Sea Knight for the US Navy and Marines.
The latter, the result of a design competition for a Marine Corps medium assault transport, first flew in August of 1962 and was first delivered two years later, carrying troops and cargo between South China Sea positioned ships and Vietnam. Of its three prototypes, one was modified to civil V-107-II standard and it first flew on October 25, 1960, at a time when Boeing had acquired the company, resulting in the Boeing-Vertol name.
Powered by a 1,250-shp General Electric T58-8 turboshaft engine, it featured a 50-foot rotor diameter. With an 84-foot overall length, it had an 18,400-pound gross weight.
First flying in full production guise the following year, on May 19, it was FAA type-certified in January of 1962 and entered scheduled New York Airway service on July 1. The remaining ten built were sold to Kawasaki of Japan to serve as license-produced pattern aircraft, but that plan never proceeded into production.
Images of the V-107-II taking off from the Pan Am rooftop heliport symbolized skyscraper-stretching Manhattan island and formed an integral part of the city’s culture. They also represented an aspect of urban mobility: subways below its streets and helicopters above its buildings depicted successful technological triumphs over traffic-saturated streets and significantly reduced travel times.
Noise and vibration were counteracted with convenience, speed, travel times that were measured in minutes, and unparalleled views of the Statue of Liberty and the New York skyline. Approaches to the encircled “H” touchdown point on the water jutting pier placed the aircraft’s size into perspective when it was virtually swallowed by Manhattan’s monoliths during its alight.
New York Helicopter replaced New York Airways during the 1980s, although it used smaller equipment.
Owned by and operated as a subsidiary of Roosevelt Field-based Island Helicopter, it routed its Aerospatiale SA.360C Dauphin rotary-wing aircraft through the Newark, East 34th Street Heliport, and La Guardia circuit from JFK, operating from the TWA Terminal there.
Designed to replace the Alouette III, the Dauphin, with a fully glazed front nose section; a 980-shp, four-bladed Astazou XVI main rotor turbine; and a Forreston tail, first flew in prototype form on June 2, 1972. After it was retrofitted with a more powerful, 1,050-shp Astazou XVII and new rotor blades, it offered improved performance, along with lower noise and vibration levels.
The first production version, with a stepped nose, a single Turbomeca Astazou XVIIIA engine, and a 37.8-foot rotor diameter, carried eight passengers in two rows. Its maximum takeoff weight was 6,725 pounds.
Although only 34 were built because potential operators considered it underpowered, it served as the foundation of a military version, the SA.361.
One of my JFK-Newark hops entailed a short taxi to the takeoff pad amid the quad-engine widebodies that weighed some 750,000 pounds, causing the Dauphin to comparatively appear like little more than a fly. It generated lift with a full-throttle advance and was leveraged into a nose-down profile as its main rotor, biting the air at the proper angle, induced forward speed.
Escaping the air traffic-saturated maze of runways, it unrestrictedly gained altitude over Brooklyn, cruising over the azure surface of Upper New York Bay with the torch-carrying statue known as “Liberty” always in view in the distance. Making its approach to Newark International, it gently alighted, now at a nose-high angle.
An Air Vermont JFK-Islip flight, part of a multi-sector one that continued to Hartford, Albany, and Burlington, constituted another inter-New York airport journey.
Based in Morrisville and established in 1981, it served 13 northeast cities, according to its October 1, 1983 timetable: Albany, Berlin (New Hampshire), Boston, Burlington, Hartford, Long Island, Nantucket, Newport (Vermont), New York-JFK, Portland, Washington-National, Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, and Worcester with a fleet of Piper PA-31 Navajos and Beech C99s.
The former, featuring a low wing, a conventional tail, and a retractable tricycle undercarriage, may have been “large equipment” to private operators, but it was dwarfed by the jetliners taxiing to 10,000-foot Runway 31-Left.
Not even using a tenth of it, the twin-engine aircraft surrendered to the sky and surmounted the Queens sprawl, before setting an easterly course and closing the 40-mile gap to Long Island MacArthur in as many minutes.
After a landing and a short taxi to its original oval-shaped terminal, I immediately understood why one of the scenes from the original Out-of-Towners movie was filmed there: it exuded a quiet, hometown atmosphere, especially after the JFK congestion.
Aside from JFK International Airport’s rotary-wing links to Newark, Islip’s Long Island MacArthur provided its own in the form of Continental Express, operated by Britt Airways, whose codeshare agreement enabled passengers to connect to Continental’s mainline flights. It operated ATR-42-300s.
Following the latest intra-European cooperation trend, the French Aerospatiale and Italian Aeritalia aerospace firms elected to collaborate on a regional airliner that combined design elements of their respective, once-independent AS-35 and AIT-230 proposals.
Re-designated ATR-42—the letters representing the French “Avions de Transport Regional” and the Italian “Aerei di Transporto Regionale” and the number reflecting the average seating capacity—the high-wing, twin-turboprop, cross of Loraine tail, was powered by two 1,800-shp Pratt and Whitney Canada PW120 engines when it first flew as the ATR-42-200 on August 16, 1984. The production version, the ATR-42-300, featured up-rated, 2,000-shp powerplants.
Of modern airliner design, it accommodated up to 49 four-abreast passengers with a central aisle, overhead storage compartments, a flat ceiling, a galley, and a lavatory.
Granted its French and Italian airworthiness certificate in September of 1985 after final assembly in Toulouse, France, it entered scheduled service four months later on December 9 with Air Littoral. With a 37,300-pound maximum takeoff weight, it had a 265-knot maximum speed at a 25,000-foot service ceiling.
Continental Express operated four round-trips between Islip and Newark, parking at a Terminal C gate for convenient connections to Continental’s jet flights.
Attempting to establish a link between Farmingdale and Newark International itself, PBA Provincetown Boston Airlines commenced shuttle service with Embraer EMB-110 commuter aircraft, connecting Long Island by means of a 30-minute aerial hop with up to five daily round-trips and coordinating schedules with PEOPLExpress Airlines. It stressed its convenience in advertisements—namely, avoidance of the excessive drive-times, parking costs, and longer check-in requirements otherwise associated with larger-airport usage, and it offered through-fares, ticketing, and baggage check to any PEOPLExpress final destination.
According to its June 20, 1986 Northern System timetable, it offered Farmingdale departures at 07:00, 09:50, 12:00, 14:45, and 17:55.
The EMB-110 itself was a low-wing aircraft.
Named after the Brazilians who explored and colonized the western portion of the country in the 17th century, the conventional design, with two three-bladed turboprops and a retractable tricycle undercarriage, accommodated between 15 and 18 passengers. It was the first South American commercial aircraft to have been ordered by European and US carriers.
Originally sporting circular passenger windows and powered by PT6A-20 engines, it entailed a three-prototype certification program, each aircraft respectively first taking to the air on October 28, 1968, October 19, 1969, and June 26, 1970. Although initially designated the C-95 when launch-ordered by the Brazilian Air Force (for 60 of the type), the EMB-110 was certified two years later on August 9.
Powered by PT6A-27 engines, production aircraft featured square passenger windows, a 50.3-foot wingspan, a forward, left air stair door, and redesigned nacelles so that the main undercarriage units could be fully enclosed in the retracted position.
Designated EMB-110C and accommodating 15, the type entered scheduled service with Trans Brasil on April 16, 1973 and it was integral in filling its and VASP’s feederline needs.
Six rows of three-abreast seats with an offset aisle and 12,345-pound gross weights characterized the third level/commuter EMB-110P version, while the longer fuselage EMB-110P2, first ordered by French commuter carrier Air Littoral, was powered by up-rated, 750-shp PT6A-34s and offered seating for 21.
While load factors failed to support PBA’s 19-seat EMB-110s from Farmingdale to Newark, it continued to operate the service with smaller Cessna C-402s.
First flying on August 26, 1965, the low-wing, retractable undercarriage aircraft was powered by two three-bladed, 325-hp turbocharged Continental TSIO-520-VB piston engines. Although it was smaller than the EMB-110s that it replaced, its appearance at predominantly light Beechcraft, Cessna, Mooney, and Piper characterized Republic Airport next to its single Passenger Terminal and boarded by ticket holders through its port door located behind the wing, gave it a “mini-airliner” command.
Its pilot was just as “single” in number and its flight attendant count was decidedly lower than that, or zero. Nevertheless, it demonstrated the secondary purpose a general aviation airfield could serve, where parking was complimentary and only feet from the check-in counters, congestion was unheard of, and the quick air shuttle flight, replacing the Verrazano-Narrows and Goethals bridges, facilitated a link to the national air transportation system through connecting PEOPLExpress flights.
When Continental later acquired PEOPLExpress, PBA provided the same feed to its route system through Newark.
While there was no scheduled airline service between ten-mile-separated Republic and Long Island MacArthur airports, I created my own, of sorts, with four-place Cessna C-172 Skyhawks.
As a high-wing, four-seat, general aviation airplane powered by a single 160-hp, dual-bladed Avco Lycoming O-320-H2AD piston engine, it offered flight training-consistent performance: a useful load of 910 pounds, a maximum takeoff weight of 2,300 pounds, a 43-gallon fuel capacity, and a 125-knot speed. Its sea level rate-of-climb was 770 fpm; and its service ceiling was 14,200 feet.
Taking the left seat and accompanied by my instructor in the right, I made several flights between the two Long Island airports, performing outside aircraft inspections, starting the engine with the obligatory “Prop clear” yell, requesting permission to taxi, and completing systems checks in the run-up area, before moving on to the runway’s threshold and receiving takeoff clearance.
Opening the throttles and retaining centerline adherence with minuscule rudder pedal deflections, I gently eased back on the yoke, allowing the high wing to peel the aircraft off the ground in a single leap.
The sky is high and in it man is meant to fly, I often thought.
“Airliner realism” increased during approach to MacArthur, as radio transmissions, such as “USAir 1420, cleared to land, Runway 24,” placed my aircraft in the midst of the “real thing.”
Subsequent departures from the same runway entailed maintaining its heading and a visual flight rules (VFR) parallel of the Long Island Expressway below, until my own, “Republic Tower, this is Cessna 734HD, inbound for landing” transmission granted me continued clearance. A turn to base and final preceded a gentle, three-point touchdown.
Scheduled service it was not, but flying it yourself elevated the experience to something higher.
The dense New York airport network may not have offered the most exotic flying experiences, but their operation by several unique fixed- and rotary-wing carriers more than made up for it.

Drones were banned from flying, even though it was used by some illegally to shoot some events. Even the hobbyists were always worried about the drone getting confiscated if they flew a small-sized one in their locality. Finally, the Ministry of Civil Aviation on Wednesday announced the draft regulations for usage of drones in the country.
We want to make India the world’s leader in the use of drones, Minister of State for Civil Aviation Jayant Sinha said.
Civil Aviation Secretary R.N. Choubey said, related security issues were discussed with the Home Ministry and the draft regulation sought to improve ‘ease of doing business’ for the drones industry while securing any concerns of misuse.
The proposed regulations are summarized as below.
The drones in India are categorized into the following: Nano, Micro, Mini, Small, and Large.
The Nano drones are the ones that are weighing under 250 grams. These drones won’t need any security clearance for flight.
Micro drones are the ones weighing between 250 grams and 2 kg. You will need an approval for your licensed drone to fly one, and the approval is usually done within 2 days.
Except the nano drones, every other category requires an approval from the aviation department as the air defence clearance is given only when the aviation department is aware of the path of the drone.
If flying within the 200 meter range, you don’t always require an approval. This rule is applicable only for the drones weighing below 2 kg.
One cannot fly a drone above operational aerodromes, and flying a drone within 5km of Vijay Chowk is Delhi, within 500 meters from strategic locations, from mobile platforms such as car, ship or air craft, over eco-sensitive zones like national parks and wildlife sanctuaries (unless approved by Environment Ministry), is not allowed. These all areas are the no-fly zones.
The Ministry of Civil Aviation has made it clear that you can use the drones for photography, medical use, ad film making, and E-commerce companies can use it as well.
Though it is not going to happen anytime in the near future, one can consider using a drone for air rickshaws or as passenger drones.
Comments would be invited for 30 days and then consultations would be held in the Ministry. The regulatory framework can be expected by December 31.
