Get this from a library! Small hydrogen/oxygen rocket flowfield behavior from heat flux measurements. [B D Reed; United States. National Aeronautics and Space Administration.]. In this study, normal heat flux profiles in a small gaseous hydrogen/gaseous oxygen rocket were determined as a diagnostic of the flowfield behavior. A thick- walled, water-cooled OFHC copper rocket chamber, instrumented with thermocouples, was used to gather steady-state, inner and outer wall temperature profiles over a mixture ratio range from to , at sixty percent fuel film cooling. A Rayleigh scattering diagnostic has been developed to measure gas density, temperature, and velocity in the exhaust plume of N thrust class hydrogen-Oxygen rockets.

Table 1 summarizes all available burning velocity measurements of hydrogen flames using the heat flux method at atmospheric pressure. Most of the mixtures studied were diluted because the heat flux method is not suitable for measuring flames that are too fast; a typical limit is about 60 cm/s as discussed in details by Alekseev et by: 7. I. Introduction. C hemical rocket engines represent the only propulsion system that is able to transport payload into the Earth orbit. The combination of liquid oxygen (LOX) and liquid hydrogen (LH2) has been investigated since the s and is used in many first- and upper-stage engines (such as Vulcain, Vinci, SSME, and RD).Cited by: 1.
Water is composed of two Hydrogen atoms, and one Oxygen atom. This is because Oxygen has six valence electrons (valence electrons are the electrons in the furthest shell of an atom. They are the ones who get all the action in chemical reactions,) and Hydrogen has one. Thats when the saying "eight is the great" comes in.

JW Hangar Building
- Addison, Texas150,000 SFBeck – Architect Beck – Interior Design
Located next to a busy executive airport, J-W Energy Company’s corporate headquarters is housed in a renovated plane hangar. Beck’s team created an exterior design featuring a large, arching metal canopy, four 20-foot wood screen elements, and, as a nod to the boarding process from the early days of flight, a floating metal staircase with perforated mesh railing. The building includes operational space for small plane storage, yoga studio, exercise studio, kitchen, and a large, multi-functional training room. With a single corporate tenant, the second floor’s open plan workspace features exposed ceilings and a large reclaimed wood beam structure over one of the many studios that divide the space. The LEED certified building was designed for energy efficiency.

According to official reports by NASA Apollo space program was completed in December 1972 flight of Apollo 17. But it is really so? On the surface, the fact of former NASA employees have received reports that the Apollo mission went on. If that is true, why did the US space agency still secret?
Top secret mission?
If the Apollo space program has not completed the number 17, it is possible that no one noticed liftoff? At the beginning of 2007, namely on the Internet portal YouTube footage also appeared with the comment. It says that the mission of Apollo 20 was launched August 16, 1976 from Vandenberg military base north of Los Angeles, and the aim should be Iszak D area – southwest of Delporte Crate,http://ufomania.cz/


Captain Chelsey B. “Sully” Sullenberger, a former USAF F-4 Pilot, deadsticked an A320 Airbus into the Hudson River after he lost power to both engines, apparently thanks to birds. Birds? Sheesh.
More from 24Dash.com:
Mr Sullenberger, 57, has been hailed as a hero for managing to bring the plane down with no loss of life to passengers on US Airways Flight 1549.
No loss of life. Amazing. Good job, Captain Sully. Good job. A hero, indeed.
Go here to see some video of flight 1549 floating down the Hudson.

The United States Air Force (USAF) Research Laboratory at Eglin Air Force Base in Florida required the design and construction of a new High-Speed Penetrator Soft Catch Structure. The structure supports the recovery of high-velocity (4000 feet per second), subscale penetrators launched from propellant-based launchers on the Eglin Range. The 4000 fps requirement is necessary to support testing of the 180-pound test projectiles. Aerostar SES was chosen by the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Mobile District as the construction contractor for this design-build project and Thompson Engineering was the professional services subcontractor to provide all engineering design support services.
Professional services included the topographic survey of the site; geotechnical investigations and engineering for foundation design; civil engineering for site geometry, grading, surface and subsurface drainage and paving; and structural engineering of the catchment chamber (1’-8” thick, reinforced concrete walls with 5” plate steel armoring), foundation and movable, track-mounted 60-ton reinforced concrete blocks. Thompson also provided environmental permitting and monitoring during construction and construction administration and assistance until the project was accepted by the USACE.
Complete design and review, from initial conception to issuance of construction documents, were completed in a four-month time frame. Close coordination was required with Aerostar SES and material suppliers to ensure design components were available and the overall project was constructible after issuance of final plans and specifications. During construction, Thompson Engineering provided assistance in the review of shop drawings and other requests for information to ensure the project progressed within the approximate 365-day design/construct schedule. The project was completed on time and provided the USAF Research Laboratory with a one-of-a-kind facility to enable researchers to test munitions and provide our armed forces with advanced weaponry.

Breakthrough Energy Catalyst announced its first project equity investment today in the form of a $75 million equity commitment to Infinium’s Project Roadrunner, subject to the satisfaction of certain closing conditions. Project Roadrunner will convert waste carbon dioxide (CO2) and renewable power into sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and other low-carbon fuels. This first-of-a-kind commercial-scale Power-to-Liquids (PtL) eFuels facility is expected to be the largest PtL eFuels project in North America once operational.
Breakthrough Energy Catalyst funds and invests in first-of-a-kind projects that support the deployment of emerging climate technologies and sustainable aviation fuel is one of Catalyst’s five areas of priority investment. The aviation industry accounts for approximately 2–3% of global greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) annually and faces unique challenges when it comes to reducing emissions. Sustainable aviation fuels offer a critical tool to decarbonize aviation with existing aircraft currently in use around the world. Project Roadrunner will primarily produce Infinium eSAF, a sustainable aviation fuel with the potential to significantly reduce the lifecycle GHG emissions associated with air travel by around 90 percent.
At the core of Catalyst’s work is also uniting companies with stakeholders including investors, offtakers, and governments to enable the funding and build out of first-of-a-kind, commercial-scale projects. With Project Roadrunner, Catalyst and Infinium are bringing together key Catalyst partners in American Airlines and Citi as offtakers to tackle aviation emissions together.
The Catalyst and Infinium announcement includes two groundbreaking agreements with those partners that provide models for effective climate action. First, American and Infinium have agreed to a long-term, firm fuel offtake agreement that will enable further investment in Project Roadrunner. The Catalyst team worked to develop this agreement alongside the American and Infinium teams. Second, American and Citi have separately agreed to transfer the associated emission reductions to Citi to support the scaling of this innovative technology and help reduce a portion of Citi’s Scope 3 emissions from employee travel. These agreements provide one model for how airlines can use offtake agreements to help promising new SAF technologies attract investment dollars.
Mario Fernandez, Head of Breakthrough Energy Catalyst, said, “This project is a landmark achievement for the development of sustainable aviation fuels and the offtake agreement provides a model for the entire aviation industry on how to effect change and support the scale-up of capital-intensive projects.”


Flights to Greece of Belarusian airlines are prohibited in accordance with the Civil Aviation Authority (NOTA) aviation directive (NOTAM).
In particular, it is provided:
(a) a ban on Belarusian airlines flying over Greek airspace and landing at Greek airports; and
b) Greek airlines are instructed to avoid the Minsk (Belarus) FIR for their flights.
NOTAM, which is already in force and lasts until July 5, 2021, follows the decision of the European Union according to which there is a ban on Belarusian airlines flying in EU airspace or landing at its airports. While for the airlines of the European Union it is recommended to avoid the airspace of Belarus.
The Aviation Directive does not apply in case of forced landing or forced air transit and in case the landing / take-off or air transit is necessary for humanitarian purposes.


This is the C-111 canal. It has quite a history. Solid rocket boosters were manufactured upstream and barged up to Cape Kennedy during the Space Race era. This is an abandoned drawbridge that needed to be opened when the rockets were being shipped north. This canal was dredged to be over 40' deep so they could get the barges in and out. I think this was the assembly area:
At least it seems to be connected by canals and doesn't seem to have much other reason to exist. As a Florida Native, I had no idea that work was being done for NASA down here.


With drones turning into ever more well-liked among individuals and firms, new models are constantly being released into the market place. Each release will come with the goal to provide advancements in the flying expertise. This new technology actually has great possible for different industries and choosing the ideal drone is what you should be having to pay attention to in relation to your demands. No matter whether you are getting a drone for your new traveling hobby or for company, there are items that you have to consider into consideration to conclude up with the very best design. Under are valuable inquiries you ought to answer to guidebook your acquire.
What is my supposed use? Bear in mind that different drones have distinct functions to complete specialized duties easily. If it is just for flying enjoyable, for occasion, then it should not matter whether it has a camera or not. If it is for getting pictures and videos, however, then you want to make confident that it comes with a quality camera that you can believe in for high quality photographs. Permit the duties that you desire to full with your drone lead you to the very best drones for sale.
What is my funds? Apart from what best drone under 200 can find the money for, the supposed use can decide what amount is affordable for a drone. Recreational function drones are less costly in contrast to these that are produced for specialised tasks. The rule right here would be to get a drone that you can afford and 1 that gives you the traveling experience that you are hunting for. For occasion, less costly drones may prove harder to fly for newcomers because they deficiency some features that would or else make traveling easy. Repairs and upkeep need to also feature in the price range thinking about that drones are crash prone.
What sort of drone is much more practical for me? Receiving familiar with the varieties of drones accessible in the market place is paramount in creating the most suitable selection in terms of purchase. The types are differentiated by the characteristics and the common drones these days are all set to fly or RTF, BNF or bind and fly drones, ARF or virtually ready to fly drone, RTH or return to residence drones and FPV or 1st man or woman look at drones. You will also uncover drones with GPS navigation. These sorts offer varying assembling and flying activities and you should contemplate each and every one just before choosing what type works very best for you.
Are there are any registration requirements? Usually the bodyweight of the drone will decide regardless of whether you require to sign-up it with the pertinent company of not. Most toy drones are not weighty ample to need a registration but you may want to sign up far more refined organization associated drones to stay away from civil penalties. Aside from registering, you will need to adhere to flying guidelines. For instance, you may possibly not be permitted to fly earlier mentioned offered heights and close to airports.

Join us to hear author Tom Leech speak on his recent book Fun on the Job: Amusing and true tales from Rosie-the-Riveters to Rocket Scientists at a Major (San Diego) Aerospace Company (that company is San Diego’s General Dynamics, also known as Consolidated Aircraft, Convair, General Dynamics/GD, Astronautics, Space Systems and more). At various times over 45,000 employees worked for this firm, producing valuable aviation-related products, including B-24 bombers, Convair airliners, Atlas/Centaur weapon systems and space boosters, Tomahawk Cruise Missiles and more.
When retired employees gather for frequent gatherings, the funny tales fly back and forth. Tom started gathering their humorous anecdotes from people employed over 6 decades at this company. In Tom's book, he has assembled a whole bunch of those stories, from operations, products and locations throughout the U.S. and international operations. These jolly tales will stir readers’ humor buttons from their own work experiences, whether retired or currently employed. Tom will share with us many of those stories, some indeed going back to Rosies employed at the Consolidated factory at Lindbergh Field. And needless to say, those with aviation, aerospace and defense ties will find many fun stories they’ll readily relate to.

There are few things which make me feel scary just with their sizes and complexity. Their use is indispensible these days and I am compelled to wonder about them and admire their inventors and designers.
Every now and then we travel by flights simply to save our time. They can transport me from one place to another in a matter of few hours which otherwise would have taken days to cover by road or rail. In the cockpit, the pilots are surrounded with more than 50 dials to adjust altitude, speed, direction, to know the status of the fuel, the engines, each part of the plane and the sky. One mistake by them and atleast 150 lives can be lost. I always wonder how much precision is required at each micro second level. We have seen incidents where a small mistake has resulted in disaster. The entire design is so complicated. There was a series on plane crashes on Nat Geo- Seconds to Disaster. I remember one of the episodes in which a small tiny part of steel fell on the runway from nowhere and while taking off, it hit the fuel tank of the plane and the plane blasted within 30 seconds after take off. The investigating team could not point this out for months together. On looking closely on the take off clip only they realized this small piece flying from the runway and hitting the tank causing instant blasting.
Heavy Earth Moving equipments
These days Bangalore roads are up for complete makeover with construction of so many flyovers. Every day I see those huge earth moving machines, drillers and all. The height of the blades of these drillers only is as high as my height. They drill down the concrete road in a matter of few hours. Imagine someone commits a small mistake and the consequences of the mistake or if the machine handler is not careful with the direction of the blades. God forbid, any of these fall on anyone, that can be the last moment of that person's life.
I toss a stone and it falls down on the floor. Reason? The gravitational pull. So scientists decided to make a machine which will be released with such a speed that it beats the earth's gravitational force. A space station itself has been constructed and placed in the space. The astronauts walk in space, repair these huge complicated architectures in space. Something which I see from earth every night, moon, these machines have been there. I cannot imagine to even see a rocket (I mean an actual rocket, not a dummy one) in my life. On one of the sites, I found answer to one of my endless questions about rockets and space shuttles. Every time a rocket launch is shown on TV, two parts are shown to fall down. I always wondered, what parts are they, why do they detach themselves from the rocket and what happens to them, they might fall somewhere on earth. It might hurt someone (though this last part was a stupid question, since scientists are not such fools to let a heavy part fall on someone's head).
I found the answer on one of the sites: "Rockets normally come in parts or stages, to save fuel. Once a stage burns all its fuel, it is released to burn up in the earth's atmosphere, or, occasionally, fall in the ocean. On the shuttle, the external solid rocket boosters are reusable, so they are dropped into the ocean with a parachute, and recovered, while the external liquid fuel tank is used for a longer time, and, when released, burns up in the atmosphere. On some of the rockets to the moon or other planets, a stage may orbit the earth/moon/sun/etc. or, as in the Apollo program, crash into the moon"- By Amateur Astronomer- Kenneth Renshaw.
Space shuttles and space as a whole is always going to amaze me. Salute to the inventors of such huge and complicated machines.

Buzz Aldrin is an engineer and former American astronaut, and the second person to walk on the Moon. He was the lunar module pilot on Gemini 12 (1966), and Apollo 11(1969).
Gemini 12 was the last chance to prove methods for extra-vehicular activity (EVA). Aldrin set a record for EVA, demonstrating that astronauts could work outside a spacecraft.
Apollo 11 was the first manned lunar landing in history; He set foot on the Moon at 03:15:16 (UTC) on July 21, 1969, following mission commander Neil Armstrong.
He is also a retired colonel in the United States Air Force (USAF) and a Command Pilot.
He was born January 20, 1930 and was at the time of writing this: age 84.
Season 3, Episode 11Edit
In Season 3, Episode 11, Killer Chat (airing December 15th, 2006) Aldrin plays himself, and escorts professor Larry Fleinhardt from the FBI headquarters to his shuttle.
We first see Aldrin reading a newspaper on a bench while Larry and Megan are saying their goodbyes in an alcove to the bridge to the FBI building.
Larry says, "[Laughs] I think NASA figured I'd need help finding my way."
Aldrin shakes out his paper to fold it and greet Larry bounding towards him. They walk away in slow motion, wearing sunglasses, to ELton John's song Rocketman.


There are increased tensions along Israel’s northern border with Syria. Last Saturday morning a drone from Syria violated Israel’s airspace and was shot down. Israel retaliated by an attack on the base from which the drone was launched. During the incursion into Syria, one Israeli jet was hit by an anti-aircraft missile and crashed in Israel (the two pilots bailed out and survived). Late Saturday and Sunday, Israel attacked the anti-aircraft sites. Except for the drone incursion, the military activities have been limited to Syria. While the northern part of Israel is on high alert, the tensions in that area have not affected Jerusalem or the areas where the students are scheduled to go on field trips in the next month. There appears to be little interest in escalating the tensions on the part of the Syrians or by Russian and Iranian forces in Syria, so it’s likely that this is the end of the matter for now.

The debate and discussion of how much should humans automate operations continue to gain momentum each day as is fueled by technological advancement. Technology has had significant use in the past and has been exploited for human beings’ benefit in virtually all living aspects. Nevertheless, one field that is gaining more attention in matters of automation and use of mechanized systems as against human beings is the field of air travel. Research shows that automated systems like drones have been in use for such uses as aerial photography, military operations, analysis and data collection, and exploration among other services (Manjeet, 2005). However, commercialization of technology is revolutionizing the uses into which this technology has been used in the past with prospects being exploited for commercial air flights. This forms the basis of this analysis of how willing human beings are to adopt the uncrewed aircraft for travelling and other commercial purposes. People differ in attitude matters as is psychologically influenced while deciding whether or not to board a pilotless plane. This, however, have absolute effects on the future of this technology use is concerned. Although most individuals will refuse to board the aircraft, it is still to be understood that a few will still enjoy using it, citing unique advantages. A common ground in this study, however, is that further technological advancement is needed in order to get the technology integrated into commercial civilian aviation and appreciated.
Changing times and technological advancements have an impact on barely every aspect of human life. One such technology uses remote-controlled computerised appliances and has been used when operating military drones instead of being controlled by human pilots. In the recent past, freight companies have widely appreciated and adopted the assistance of uncrewed aircraft for military operations or cargo freight. Nonetheless, the concept of making commercial airliners follow the technology and have commercial cargo handled from central stations by remote control systems has generated many responses among many individuals. While the concept is excellent and very welcome for some individuals, some others will have very distinct views and attitudes towards technology. Therefore, one would be interested in knowing if individuals would consent to board unmanned commercial air freight? What will be the people’s view of the same and the most likely outcome of this latest development in the future of the aviation industry as affected by the reactions of the people?
While the discussion on having uncrewed aircraft operating for commercial purposes may be heated and endless at least for the time, we must first appreciate the diverse uses in which the idea and technology have been put into in the past. For instance, the military operations have been one area in which use of the technology has been placed. Military drones represent the use of unmanned technology, and they have been in use for combat missions. Besides, drones have been used to collect information and search operations, research purposes and aerial filming, among other services. Among other benefits that have been associated in operations of pilotless aircraft has been the costs implication by having no pilots to pay and the capacity to fly over long periods, which is a limitation with human beings. Besides, the risk of losing human life in accidents and counter-attacks by enemies in military operations is minimized using remote-controlled drones. There is also the use of the unmanned crafts in exploration, such as is used in spaceships, which is being explored to transport human beings and cargo. However, this new development is relatively new in civilian freights, explaining the mixed reactions that stem from this. While similar benefits would be pointed out regarding uncrewed civilian freight operations, ethical considerations and general process, competencies would need to be considered (Johansson, 2011).
Arguments in Against
Basic arguments would be that many people would not board pilotless aircraft due to a number f reasons. First, a sober person would reason that the uncrewed aircraft’s operations would not occur within a vacuum. The procedures would deal with other aircraft and would have to settle with air traffic systems for control. The current system controls were initially designed to work around human pilots, and as such, no controller would talk to the computerized system controlling the aircraft. Human responses and judgments have been critical in the rational human-controlled design of aircraft operations. Therefore, the automated system’s perceived incompetence to react to emergencies as against how human beings would react and manoeuvre. People would thus point out lack of confidence with system response to emergencies as one main factor to hinder them from boarding a commercial freight without a pilot as illustrated:
Another reason that would support people’s failure to board commercial uncrewed planes would be that pilots are often entrusted with making informed decisions to detect oncoming planes and, therefore, avoid the probable collisions. It is one of the ground rules that every pilot should be alert always and if he/she detects another craft on the way, he/she is supposed to move from its course to avoid a collision. However, according to the fears associated, a machine would fail to recognize or decide how best to prevent a possible crash, which would be detrimental to the passengers on board. Moreover, the time taken for response by a human operator outside the plane and the transmission of a signal by remote systems may be too long to have any effect in avoiding the collision. This therefore equally supports much of the fear that uncrewed aircraft are riskier to travel in than operated ones.
There is a common perception with people (although unsupported) that aircrafts operated by human beings are much safer to travel in than such other mechanically operated ones. Rationality in human psychology may have people put more confidence in human competence than technological competence. This, therefore, would explain the fear that people would have while boarding a pilotless aircraft despite the already widespread fact that the future in automation is great (Wallace, 2013). While a person may easily entrust computerized systems for commercial transactions like banking and trade, few people would have full trust in remote control systems and their lives. This is because some automated transactions can be easily rectified if an error occurs, but this would hardly be the case with an error occurring through unmanned piloting. Death is undoubtedly irreversible, and therefore, no sane person would be willing to gamble about with their own life. The fear of death and fatality in system failures would be pointed out as significant factors explaining people’s feeling that all other air operations can be entrusted to uncrewed aircraft operations but not human beings’ transport. Many people believe that a human (pilot) voice is more assured in emergencies than system auto-responses that would inform the system failure; however, the two may result in deaths or fatalities.
Reasons in Support of Uncrewed Planes For Commercial Purposes
On the other hand, those in support of the development and those who would be willing to board such a freight without a pilot would reason that computerized systems would even be safer and reliable than human beings (pilots) who would be overcome with such limitations as fatigue and lack of concentration to cause fatalities. The argument would be supported by the fact that many aircraft accidents and misfortunes are often associated with human error either in mechanical responsibilities or flying (competence) commitments. Right technology would have system defects identified on time to allow system repairs and minimize resultant effects of human weaknesses like loss of concentration. However, even those who would support the development, proper planning and effective operation systems are prerequisite to having ease of control and interaction of the uncrewed aircraft with the human-crewed planes as they share the control systems (Wilson, 2007). This forms the primary basis for futuristic thinking because, just as the pilot-operated systems were developed and infrastructures designed, there is the potential in developing the new technology and having all such support in place and therefore ensures efficiency and effectiveness in using the uncrewed planes for civilian freight (Heilman, 2013).
One already appreciates that too much automation of commercial frights has seen a reduction of human beings in the cockpit form as many as five to just two; the pilot and his/her co-pilot (Croft, 2010). Automation has also contributed to too much simplification of these people’s work. This trend makes many of us believe that uncrewed planes for commercial purposes will ultimately come about. Nevertheless, critics raise the question of when should this be and what preparation would have been done to appreciate the technology fearlessly as is the case with the human-crewed flights. Much research and investment in technology would be required before the system that would have the unmanned crafts being used commercially for passenger freights is needed, which would boost human beings’ right attitudes. However, if the technology of uncrewed planes were to be introduced currently, then bad attitudes by people would lead to significant losses by commercial freight operators through losing customers to the standard manned air travel service providers (Pasztor, 2012).
There is, therefore, an ongoing discussion on whether people would be willing to embrace the uncrewed planes and agree to travel in whereas there are still the operated ones. Human psychology would restrict many to embrace this technology because of fears and uncertainties associated with new technology. However, even with such worries, facts show that the technology may have been successful in other aspects like in military operations, filming industry, research and exploration missions, and space tours, among others. Nevertheless, uncertainty reigns among the people on how much one would entrust his/her life to a computerized remote system, which would not likely evade accidents as human beings would through the power of reason. Although technological advancement projects to the ultimate use of this technology in commercial purposes, much are required before the technology is useful. Majority of the people would demand more assurance and conviction of their safety while using this type of unmanned air travel, especially on matters about the emergency reaction, which is the main issue of controversy. The analysis, therefore, finds that the current technology is not yet ready for such great exploration, and this is shown by the unwillingness of people to use the technology.
More research should be carried in the technology to establish the most appropriate systems that can be embraced to have the unmanned systems operate harmoniously with the used systems most appreciated currently. Moreover, public awareness and campaigns on the increased efficiency and the assurance of safety while travelling through the uncrewed planes would enable most to change the perceptions and destructive attitudes towards technology.

Recently while cataloguing the University Warehouse records we came across the below letter which had been salvaged from a plane crash (flight 712) in London in 1968. The letter was a application from a Mr. C.E.Manning of Southampton University, United Kingdom to work in the UC classics department. The crash occured after the engine fell off the aircraft in flight. Five of the 127 on board the aircraft were killed in a major fire, although the plane made a safe emergency landing. As well as the passengers, the aircraft was carrying baggage, mail and a radioactive isotope destined for the University Hospital in Jerusalem.
Although the letter was delayed, Mr Manning still got the role as a lecturer in the Classics Department.Charles Manning lectured at the University of Canterbury from 1968 to 2001. He was a Christchurch City councillor from 1980 to 1983 and 1986 to 2001. He was appointed as a Environment Commissioner in July 2001.

The FAA is in the process of redesigning the Class B airspace around SFO airport, and it signals an interesting shift in air navigation: the requirement that everyone in the airspace be able to navigate by means of GPS.
They are undertaking the redesign primarily to make flying around SFO quieter and more fuel efficient. The new shape will allow steeper descents at or near “flight idle” — meaning the planes can just sort of glide in, burning less gas and making less noise. As a side benefit, they will be able to raise the bottom of the airspace in certain places so that it is easier for aircraft not going to SFO to operate underneath.
As far as I’m concerned, that’s all good, but I noticed something interesting about the new and old design. Here’s the old design:
This picture, or one like it, will be familiar to most pilots. It’s a bunch of concentric circles with lines radiating out from it, dividing it into sectored rings. The numbers represent the top and bottom of those sections, in hundreds of feet. This is the classic “inverted wedding cake” of a Class B airspace. In 3D, it looks something like this, but more complicated.
This design was based around the VOR, a radio navigation system, that could tell you what azimuth (radial) you are relative to a fixed station, such as the VOR transmitter on the field at SFO. A second system, usually coupled with a VOR, called DME, allows you to know your distance from the station. Together, you can know your exact position, but because of this “polar coordinate” way of knowing your position, designs intended to be flown by VOR+DME tend to be made of slices and sectors of circles.
The new proposed design does away with this entirely.
Basically, they just drew lines any which way, wherever it made sense. This map is almost un-navigable by VOR and DME. It takes a lot of knob twisting and fiddling to establish your exact position if it is not based on an arc or radial. Basically, this map is intended for aircraft with GPS.
All of this is well and good, I guess. GPS has been ubiquitous in every phone, every iPad and every pilot’s flight bag for a long time.
I learned to fly in a transitional era, when GPS existed, but the aircraft mostly had 2 VOR receivers and a DME. My flight instructor would never have let me use a GPS as a mean of primary navigation. Sure, for help, but I needed to be able to steer the plane without it, because the only “legal” navigation system in the plane were the VORs. I still feel a bit guilty when I just punch up “direct to” in my GPS and follow the purple line. It feels like cheating.
But it’s not, I guess. Time marches on. Today, new aircraft all have built-in GPS, but a lot of older ones don’t. And if they’re going to fly under the SFO Class B airspace, they’re going to need to use one of those iPads to know where they are relative to those airspace boundaries. And strictly, speaking, they probably should get panel-mounted GPS as well.

FL GROUP and Air China Ltd. today declared their intent to enter into an
agreement for the lease of five Boeing 737-800 aircraft at a signing ceremony
in Beijing China, attended by Mr.
Olafur Ragnar Grimsson, President of Iceland. The Chairman of FL GROUP'S board Mr. Hannes Smarason and Ms. Zhang Yang President of Air China Group
Import&Export Trading Co. signed the agreement on behalf of their
According to the agreement ICELEASE which is a subsidiary of FL GROUP will lease
5 new Boeing 737-800 aircraft to Air China for 8 years. The
aircraft will be delivered to Air China in February to
July next year, directly from Boeing's production line in Seattle. Air China is China's largest airline
with numerous destinations in China and around the
world. Air China’s fleet consists
of about 150 aircraft and is expanding rapidly.
Today's agreement is made following FL GROUP'S purchase of 15 new Boeing
737-800 aircraft earlier this year. The purchase agreement with Boeing is FL
GROUP'S largest aircraft order to date.
The chairman of FL GROUP'S board, Hannes Smarason, said today that the
agreement with Air China marks the
beginning of a new era for FL GROUP. “It is very important for us to have
entered the Chinese market and to start cooperating with an outstanding airline
like Air China. We look at this
agreement as only the beginning of long time future cooperation which will
benefit both companies. When we purchased the aircraft earlier this year we
made plans with the Japanese aircraft lease company Sunrock which involved
leasing the aircraft in Asia and other markets. The
progress so far has been beyond our expectations. FL GROUP has a historic
relationship with Boeing and we purchased the aircraft at favourable prices.
The agreement today confirms that our decision to enter the aircraft lease
market in this way was correct”, said Hannes Smarason.
The agreement signed
today was prepared by FL GROUP'S new subsidiary Icelease, which handles buying,
selling and leasing of aircraft on behalf of FL GROUP. The Managing Director of
ICELEASE is Halldór Vilhjálmsson. ICELEASE is currently working on lease
agreements in partnership with the Sunrock for the 10 remaining Boeing 737-800
aircraft that will be delivered to FL GROUP in late 2006 and in 2007.

Nearly Wordless Wednesday: Splashdown
Yesterday, astronaut Scott Kelly returned to Earth after 340 days orbiting in space. He didn't actually splash down in the ocean like they did in the old days - rather, Kelly and Russian cosmonaut Mikail Kornienk , along with a Russian crew member flew in a Soyuz capsule which parachuted onto the steppe of Kazakhstan.
Nonetheless, I imagine Kelly might enjoy splashing around in a city park after his year in space.


MORRIS TWP. ‑ Five people, including two children, were killed when a single-engine turbo prop plane crashed on Interstate Route 287 near Harter Road at about 10 a.m. Tuesday, according to the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB).
An NTSB spokesman said a conversation about icing between the pilot and air traffic control was the last recorded conversation of the flight before contact was lost.
But NTSB senior air safety investigator Ralph Hicks said at a Wednesday press conference authorities could not yet speculate on how much of a factor ice played in the crash. Hicks did not know how much ice was on the aircraft and said the agency may never know.
He added that authorities could not yet tell if the plane's de-icing system was activated before the plane broke up over Interstate 287 before plummeting in Morris Township. The agency is expected to publish a preliminary report in about a weekbut the report would not address the cause of the crash or any analysis, Hicks said.
Two of the dead adults were identified as investment bankers from Greenhill and Co. Bank in New York City, Jeffrey F. Buckalew, 45, and Rakesh Chawla, 36. Buckalew was the registered owner of the plane. Buckalew's wife, two children and dog were on board.
"The plane belonged to Mr. Buckalew, an experienced pilot whose passion was flying," the bank said in a prepared statement. "We also believe that Mr. Buckalew's wife, Corrine , and their two children, Jackson and Meriweather, were on the plane."
An eyewitness said he saw it come spiraling from the sky with "black smoke coming out," the dispatcher said.
Debris from the plane was scattered over nearby Springbrook Country Club in Morris Township.
Witnesses gave unconfirmed reports that a wing of the plane came off before the crash. There were no injuries on the ground, although several cars were stranded by flat tires. Other witnesses said the plane came down in a fireball and struck the highway's guardrail first.
The plane took off at 9 a.m. from Teterboro Airport in Bergen County and was on its way to DeKalb-Peachtree in Atlanta, according to Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Jim Peters. Peters said the plane was 30 miles southeast off Teeterboro when the pilot asked air traffic controllers to take a higher altitude. Permission was granted but the transmission was garbled and controllers lost contact with the aircraft. The plane was reported to have reached 17,500 feet. Shortly after that, controllers learned of the crash from State Police.
The plane, a 2005 Socata TBM-700 single engine turbo prop that seats six, had been registered with the FAA for several years and Peters said its maintenance records would be studied as part of the investigation.
NTSB Senior Air Traffic Safety Investigator Robert Gretz said at a press conference in Morris Township Tuesday afternoon he had heard, from third-hand reports, that the pilot and air traffic control had a routine conversation about icing conditions about 14 minutes into the flight.
Gretz said the conversation about icing was the last before contact was lost and the plane crashed but he did not know how long the plane stayed in the air after the comversation. He added the investigation is likely to take from six to 12 months. "We're only in day one," he said.
Gretz said the plane had no flight recorder but did have GPS and he hoped information could be retrieved from it.
At an evening press conference, Gretz said a tree specialist would be on hand Wednesday to get a section of a wing out from the branches of a tree on private property.
Recovery efforts were suspended due to darkness at about 6 p.m. Tuesday and would resume Wednesday at about 9:30 a.m. after the morning rush hour.
Pieces of the plane are being kept on trucks and in secure lots in several municipalities' publc works yards. There is still much debris in the interstate median, where it will remain overnight. Gretz noted a state Police Patrol is on site to protect the area.
Anglin Co., an aircraft recovery company from Delaware, will be taking the airplane's parts to its Delaware facility for futher investigation.
Investigators will look at the airplane's maintenance, the pilot's experience, weather conditions and reports from other pilots flying near the area among other aspects of the flight to determine the cause of the crash.
New Jersey State Police Lt. Stephen Jones said at the press conference the plane, valued at more than $1 million, had a powerful Pratt and Whitney turbo prop engine that could take the plane to speeds of between 300 and 400 mph. Jones said the plane struck the highway in the southbound lane, narrowly missing a pick up truck. Jones said the driver of the truck is being interviewed and police would release details of the interview when it becomes available.
No one on the ground was injured, Jones said.
When the plane hit it disintegrated, the force of which sent airplane parts through the center median into the northbound lane. Jones noted the debris field for the accident ranged about one half mile.
"Someone asked before if any bodies were found in the cockpit," Jones said. "There was no cockpit to be seen."
Gretz said all the pieces of the plane and body parts might not all be recovered until Wednesday.
Jones called the accident "a horrible tragedy."
Morris Township Mayor H. Scott Rosenbush also spoke at the press conference. "There is never a good time to lose a loved one, particularly at this time of the year," Rosenbush said. He offered his and the township's condolences.
The plane went down north of milepost 33.5 on the interstate highway. The highway was blocked to traffic in both directions. By 4 p.m. Monday two lanes were open south bound, and one lane was open north bound. All lanes of traffic were open for the morning rush hour Wednesday.
Nick Somers of Morristown was traveling on I-287 South when the crash occurred. He said he saw a "cloud of black smoke" ahead of him coming from the crash site, near the Harter Road exit in Harding Township. Then between 20-30 police and fire vehicles came speeding by heading in the direction of the accident.
Four to five helicopters flew over the site, said Somers, including a State Police helicopter.


Aircraft ground support equipment and vehicles are used to transport passengers, freight & baggage and support repair & maintenance functions. In airports, equipment fall into two broader categories, i.e. land side (passenger entry side of airport) and air side (boarding/departure side). Ground support equipment includes vehicles used for fueling on the air-side and airplane maintenance. Aircraft ground support equipment doesn’t include aircraft engine maintenance.
In California, most airports have internal combustion engines (ICE) powered aircraft ground support equipment. Owing to stringent emission norms in North America and Europe, electric aircraft ground support equipment is made available by most of its manufacturers. There are many airports in various countries with a high percentage of aircraft ground support equipment (electric). For example, the Denver International Airport was designed for all electric ground support equipment. Similarly, Logan International Airport (Boston) progressed and switched from ICE to electric aircraft ground support equipment.

Ok, I admit it I'm a big Richard Branson fan so when I came across the posting on msnbc about his latest and greatest design for Virgin Galactic's new design for a rocket plane called Space Ship Two I just had to make a posting about it.
Now to be honest, I thought how can I possibly link something relevant about the design of his new rocket plane + weight loss when the thought came to mind "I wonder what we would weigh in space?".
So I typed that into Google and I found the coolest site...
As my buddy Ann [without an e] says "I LOVE THE INTERNET!" ME TOO!

Today we feature an "Interview With a Pilot" by Candace Hartsuyker in our Job-a-Palooza section. This fascinating article talks with Garrett Hartsuyker an airline pilot. Read the sneak peek below and check out the rest of the article on Imagination-Cafe.
Pilots can specialize in many areas:
Flight instructor- Of course, for all jobs that have to do with pilots you first must get a Commercial Pilot License. Like a driver’s license, it allows you to fly planes. When you become a flight instructor you must get another license to teach people how to fly.
Helicopter Pilot- This licenses you to fly helicopters.
Airline Pilot- This allows you to fly all the big planes and travel far and wide.
Interview with a Pilot:
“Garrett,” she said, “There is no job in the world where you can look out a window and sit on your bottom all day.” Garrett says he never would have guessed that one day she’d be proven wrong.
When he was a kid he loved to construct model airplanes and was fascinated at how they were put together...

Within the framework of the 23rd Summit in Kyiv on October 12, Ukraine and the European Union signed an agreement on the Common Aviation Area. Finally, the Ukrainian sky has become "open" to new opportunities. The signed document includes:
- Mutual opening of aviation markets (passenger, cargo, and mail transport) between Ukraine and the EU, aimed at increasing trade turnover, tourist flows, and investment volumes.
- Ukraine's transition to European standards in civil aviation, covering passenger rights protection, air traffic management, environmental protection, and aviation safety.
Throughout the entire period of our country's independence, we have observed the confident development of the Ukrainian airspace. The pandemic introduced severe corrections but did not interrupt the path of purposeful growth. Collaborating with airports, our team witnesses the responsible work of all aviation professionals daily, striving to improve the quality of transportation and monitor the proper functioning of airports. The active passenger traffic attests to the positive impact of this activity.

The Hera Saturn entry probe mission is proposed as an M-class mission led by ESA with a significant collaboration with NASA. It consists of one atmospheric probe to be sent into the atmosphere of Saturn, and a Carrier-Relay spacecraft. Hera will perform in situ measurements of the chemical and isotopic compositions as well as the dynamics of Saturn’s atmosphere using a single probe, with the goal of improving our understanding of the origin, formation, and evolution of Saturn, the giant planets and their satellite systems, with extrapolation to extrasolar planets.
The primary science objectives will be addressed by an atmospheric entry probe that would descend under parachute and carry out in situ measurements beginning in the stratosphere to help characterize the location and properties of the tropopause, and continue into the troposphere to pressures of at least 10 bars. All of the science objectives, except for the abundance of oxygen, which may be only addressed indirectly via observations of species whose abundances are tied to the abundance of water, can be achieved by reaching 10 bars. As in previous highly successful collaborative efforts between ESA and NASA (e.g. Cassini-Huygens), the proposed mission has a baseline concept based on a NASA-provided carrier/data relay spacecraft that would deliver the ESA-provided atmospheric probe to the desired atmospheric entry point at Saturn. ESA’s proposed contribution should fit well into the M5 Cosmic Vision ESA call cost envelope. Other options, involving different ESA-NASA share, depending on the technology assessment and availability of funding, could be considered.
A nominal mission configuration would consist of a probe that detaches from the carrier one to several months prior to probe entry. Subsequent to probe release, the carrier trajectory would be deflected to optimize the over-flight phasing of the probe descent location for both probe data relay as well as performing carrier approach and flyby science, and would allow multiple retransmissions of the probe data for redundancy. The Saturn atmospheric entry probe would in many respects resemble the Jupiter Galileo probe. It is anticipated that the probe architecture for this mission would be battery-powered and accommodate a data relay to the carrier for data collection, storage on board the carrier/data relay, for later retransmission to Earth. Trades would need to be done to assess the complexity (and cost) of probe and telecom link design as a function of operational depth in the atmosphere.
