Can AI or machine learning or a combination of both create a virtual aircraft flying simulator (that only has only four controls up/down/left/right ). The virtual aircrafts motion is controlled by an individual on a laptop. The ‘feel’ of controlling the aircraft would be as close as possible to flying the real aircraft . - would this be possible based on data collected from (i) First person video footage of an aircraft flown at very low level, in amongst trees and buildings (ii) various sensors on the aircraft (motion, speed, angle etc) . Could this be developed using singularitynet ? (assuming all sensor data required from the developer are requested and fitted onto such an aircraft).
At least from my understanding at the moment, Machine Learning isn’t a separate thing from AI, rather it’s a subset of AI. Other than that, I’ll defer to someone with more experience building flight simulators.


Further to last week’s great news about McLaren, now Boeing have announced they will invest £20 million in a joint venture high-tech manufacturing facility together with Sheffield University here on The Advanced Manufacturing Park.

Modern communication technology allows even those with little important to say to transmit real-time information about where they are and what they are doing. But last month, when Airbus jets from Air France and Yemenia Airways crashed into the ocean, taking their black boxes into the deep with them, neither aircraft could send its data and cockpit voice recordings to a secure place on the ground.
On July 2, the day that the missing recorders from Air France Flight 447 were presumed to have exhausted their 30-day battery and stopped emitting the pinging noise of the locator beacon, Airbus announced that it would look for new ways to reduce the chance of losing critical data.
“This is a worldwide industry issue, albeit a rare one,” said Mary Anne Greczyn, manager of communications for Airbus Americas. In an e-mail message, Ms. Greczyn said, “Recent accidents certainly made this a front-burner topic of discussion.”
What is known so far about the crash of Flight 447, in which 228 people died, comes from automatic messages sent from the airplane to Air France. Those messages are not intended to provide information for accident investigators but are routinely used by airlines for maintenance. When an airplane is crossing an ocean and out of radio range, only the most important information is sent, since communication must be by satellite and transmission is expensive. Airlines can select what kind of flight data is worth the price of satellite time.
According to a statement from Airbus, even using the normal radio signal to send all the information about a flight would require enormous bandwidth.
But Krishna Kavi, a professor of computer science and engineering at the University of North Texas, said that might not be the case. In 2001, Mr. Kavi proposed transmitting in real time just the information from the flight data recorder. “The amount of data is very small compared to video photos that you receive on smartphones,” he said. Mr. Kavi said his plan was even more achievable today.
Mike Poole, an air crash investigator with CAE Flightscape, an aviation safety company in Canada, said that transmitting all that data in real time “sounds really attractive” but was not that easy.
Mr. Poole, who is also the chairman of the flight recorder working group of the International Society of Air Safety Investigators, said complicating factors include the number of planes in flight at any one time, the need for planes to have a clear line of sight to connect with the satellite, and the integrity and confidentiality of the data being sent. The last point is of particular concern to pilots who have long opposed video cameras in the cockpit, citing the potential for public release of the recordings.
“What do we do about data protection? That’s one that very much concerns the operating crews,” said Paul McCarthy, who represents the International Federation of Air Line Pilots’ Associations at the International Civil Aviation Organization. “If the data is not adequately protected, transmission could be an invasion of privacy.”
These problems have been discussed for years in the industry. What is different now is the attention being paid to the still-inexplicable loss of Flight 447, the apparent inability to retrieve the boxes from the Yemenia Airways Airbus that crashed into the deep waters of the Indian Ocean off the Comoros Islands and the expectation of air travelers that multimillion-dollar airplanes should have more, not less, technological capability than the average Twitter user.
“We can’t afford to lose an aircraft without drawing a proper conclusion,” said Dieter Reisinger, a long-haul commercial airline pilot and director of the Institute for Flight Safety in Austria. “We might be at a crossroads. Streaming is the next logical step.”
It is not necessarily the only step.
“It’s accidents like this that get people to think out of the box,” said Brian T. Gallagher, the director of public affairs for DRS Technologies of Parsippany, N.J. For the past 25 years, his company has been installing data recorders on the outside of military airplanes like the F-18 and on helicopters carrying oil field workers in the North Sea. On impact in a crash, the recorder, which is encased in an airfoil, flies away from the aircraft. If the plane sinks in the water, the recorder will float. A transmitter signals its location using GPS.
“Instead of it going down and pinging, it deploys the moment of the crash and hooks up with the satellites,” said the company’s vice president and general manager, Peter Connolly. “It will move it away from the crash scene.”
The deployable data recorder has been recovered in all of the approximately 110 accidents involving military airplanes, Mr. Connolly said. DRS is working with the Federal Aviation Administration and the Homeland Security Department to certify the device for use on commercial airliners, but the process has been lengthy.
Ten years ago, a DRS engineer, Rob Austin, wrote a report citing six large aviation disasters in which the recovery of the black boxes was difficult because the flights went down in the ocean. In some cases, military ships were called in for the recovery, at great expense. Mr. Austin was prophetic as he described a situation in which the deployable data recorder would be effective.
“One can imagine cases such as a midair breakup over deep ocean where the exact location of the aircraft is difficult to track,” he wrote. “If the search extended beyond the 30-day lifetime of the ultrasonic locator beacon, the recorders might never be found.”
With two ocean crashes in one month and no recorders found, Airbus is under considerable pressure. Thomas O. Enders, the company’s chief executive, said two department heads would be assigned to investigate live data transmission, external black boxes and one low-tech but highly relevant response to the loss of Flight 447 — extending the life of the black box pinger.

Why do you think Ireland was successful in securing this event?
Ireland is positioned as the largest buyer of jet aircraft and engines via the aircraft leasing industry, and the many Irish people in leadership roles across the industry made the country a logical host for such an influential group of airline leaders.
Can you describe what support you received?
I couldn’t have done it alone, and must acknowledge everyone – individuals, companies and government agencies like Fáilte Ireland (who I received both practical and financial support from). They all supported me in winning the various bids and worked tirelessly in delivering outstanding service and experience to the thousands of international delegates during their time in Ireland.
What are the benefits of becoming a Conference Ambassador?
It’s provided me with an increased profile, enhanced reputation in aviation, and opportunities to engage with international colleagues and develop new relationships. By becoming a Conference Ambassador, many doors have opened and I have been invited to bid for and host a further five international conferences for Ireland over the next three years. If, with Fáilte Ireland’s support, I can bring these conferences home, I’ll have delivered approximately 6,500 aviation delegates with a value of over €9m to the Irish economy.
What advice would you give to someone thinking of hosting an international conference?
I would encourage anyone who is influential to use it and become a Conference Ambassador. It’s incredibly rewarding to see the international delegates coming to our country and having a great time here. Be bold and brave, go out there and tell the world how good we are at delivering business conferences.

Lunar Lander games abound on every platform. Along with Tetris and Pac-Man, the game--in which your mission is to safely maneuver your lunar module onto the moon's surface--is one of the most widely cloned computer games of all time.
But did you know that game players began touching down on the moon in Lunar Lander. Its design is very similar to early SEI lunar lander proposals with a low crew cabin and large solar panels.
It is the smallest of the three proposals. It is the smallest of the three proposals. It consists of a single main structure and would rely on drop tanks to power a majority of the descent.

Commercial lunar lander. As a new NASA-funded “Probe Study Final Report,” the idea focuses on the instrument, a deployment rover, the lander and base station that consists of dipole antennas deployed across 6 miles (10 kilometers) of the lunar landscape by a rover, and tethered to a base station for central processing, power and data.
The earliest recorded lander concept, the British Interplanetar y Society (BIS) lunar lander, was produced in . Since then, numerous landers have been conceptualized and design ed. In the overall study of the design and performance of the lunar Lander, analysis of touchdown dynamics of the landing stage is an important part.
In this paper, the influence of the lunar Lander’s body deformation on the landing performance is studied. First, the equations with the flexible part are derived from the subsystem method and deducing a multi-mass model by Cited by: 1.

J.A.R.E Airline Training Partnership (JARE ATP) have operated in the aviation sector for more than 30 years. Central to their solution offering is a mock aircraft cabin for aviation training. Static assemblies, the mock cabins are typically used by airlines, airports and education providers to train cabin crew and air marshals.
JARE ATP approached Ourgate Productions, a Technical Solutions for Industry Company, to create an interactive system that operates equipment within the interior of a mock aircraft. The aim was to provide a broad range of aviation activities using genuine aviation equipment and realistic sound effects to present an overall experience as close to real-life as possible.
Key to the design is programmable logic controller (PLC) software. It allows a completely customised control for every part of the mock aircraft cabin. Combined with two Human-Machine Interfaces (HMIs) it provides a cost-effective solution.
Utilizing PLC controllers featuring RDM's PLC programme TDB and HD Multi-touchscreens, Ourgate Productions created a custom control solution. The TDB platform from RDM is a user-friendly programming tool featuring an extensive library of functional blocks, allowing for the creation of control algorithms as simple or sophisticated as the application requires.
The final solution included control of the following elements:
- Flight Attendant Panel (FAP)
- Passenger Service Units
- Lighting and audio
- Smoke elements for emergency scenarios

HOUSTON (Reuters) – Teen-age boys, are you tired of embarrassing questions about when you last changed underwear? Japan's space scientists may have just the answer -- a line of odour-free underwear and casual clothing.
Koichi Wakata, the first Japanese astronaut to live on the International Space Station, is testing the clothes, called J-ware and created by textile experts at Japan Women's University in Tokyo.
"He can wear his trunks (underwear) more than a week," said Koji Yanagawa, an official with the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency.

China launches rocket for commercial use China on Saturday successfully launched its first rocket for commercial use.
China successfully launched its rocket for commercial use on Saturday. According to a report by China’s state-owned television channel CCTV, the move by China’s state-owned space agency will lead to the launch of commercial satellites by private companies in the country. The report stated that the 23-ton Smart Dragon-1 rocket successfully carried three satellites into their designated orbit. It was launched from a place called Geocon Gansu.
China is pushing for the launch of commercial satellites that can provide high-speed Internet services in aircraft to monitor coal shipments. According to the report, the budget for the development of Smart Dragon-1 has not been released by the government. Last month, Beijing’s I-SPACE was the first private company to put its satellite into orbit. However, last year, efforts by two private companies went in vain.
The report said that this launching was done on August 17 at 12.11 pm. All three satellites have entered the orbit. It is worth noting that the Smart Dragon-1 vehicle rocket is a rocket manufactured by Long March Rocket Company, subordinate to Chinese Space Science and Technology Group. It is also the first commercial rocket made by this company. It has a total length of 19.5 meters and a diameter of 1.2 meters.


Overcoming Your Flight Anxiety
If you have a fear of flying, you’re not alone. Overcoming this fear can be painful, time-consuming, and it definitely requires courage. But good news—it’s possible. Learning how to cope with your flight anxiety is, anyway.
Everyone has phobias, which are extreme or irrational fears of something. This definition is relevant to flight anxiety, because many plane-o-phobics know that flying is safe, yet are still afraid of it. In other words, people with a fear of flying know that the odds are in their favor and that the chance of a plane crash is slim to none. But, anxiety often overpowers any rational thinking we may have. We are often able to recognize that our fears are irrational, but it’s hard to reason with anxiety.
That’s why learning how to cope with your fear of flying or flight anxiety is essential. Here’s a three-step guide to coping with your flight anxiety.
Understand your triggers.
Some triggers specific to flight anxiety include turbulence, terrorism, plane crashes, being away from home, or the plane taking off and landing. Some might fear other things, such as contracting an airborne illness, using the airplane bathrooms, or violence. And sometimes, you might even have a bad feeling or thought about your flight and become afraid that those feelings or thoughts will turn into a real-life catastrophe.
Expose yourself to your triggers
Once you understand and acknowledge the potential triggers for your flight anxiety (or any anxiety for that matter), you have to expose yourself to them. Exposing yourself to the triggers is, yes, painful, but it ultimately helps you overcome your fears and better manage your anxiety. Avoiding your fears will not make them go away. Avoidance keeps your fears active, and your fears can actually intensify if you avoid them. So, next time you’re planning a trip that requires you to travel by plane, remember to acknowledge your triggers, expose yourself to them, and breathe through it. You’ve got this.
Besides understanding and exposing yourself to those triggers, educating yourself could also ease your anxiety. For flight anxiety, perhaps learning about how a plane works, studying facts about turbulence, learning about the sounds a plane makes throughout the duration of a flight would help. If none of those methods work, there’s nothing wrong with using an appropriate dose of anti-anxiety medication before a flight. And if you don't want to go that far, essential oils, like Lavender, ease anxiety naturally.
How do you deal with your flight anxiety?

Leading-edge Erosion Study (LEES) Project
Airfoil Performance Degradation due to Roughness and Leading-edge Erosion
Wind farms often underperform predicted power output by 10 to 30 percent relative to manufacturer predictions. A potential aerodynamic explanation is that blade roughness caused by insect impingement and leading-edge erosion decreases lift and drag as opposed to “clean” blades. These effects are difficult to test in the field because aerodynamic performance cannot be measured directly and can be affected by many factors that cannot be controlled in field experiments. This project provides aerodynamic performance data using wind tunnel measurements of representative inboard and outboard blade sections contaminated with various types and levels of roughness and leading-edge erosion. Results include aerodynamic load coefficients and measurements of laminar-to-turbulent transition location as functions of Reynolds number and angle of attack for various roughness configurations.
Measurements of section lift, drag, and pitch moment, as well as laminar-to-turbulent boundary layer transition locations, are made on two airfoils at various angles of attack, Reynolds numbers, and roughness contamination conditions. The airfoils include an 18-percent-thick NACA 63(3)-418 and 24-percent-thick NREL S814, which respectively represent the blade tip and inboard regions. Chord-based Reynolds numbers from 1.6 to 4.0e6 are tested. Randomly distributed additive roughness, characteristic of insect carcasses, are added to each airfoil. Surface area coverage between 3 and 15 percent and several roughness heights are tested. Measurements at the same conditions using trip tape also are made to assess the extent to which trip tape captures distributed roughness effects. In addition to additive roughness, the NACA 63(3)-418 includes a modular leading edge to enable testing of an eroded leading edge manufactured to match a field observation. The data in this repository include drag polars and boundary layer transition limits at various tested conditions. The intent for these data is to enable prediction of “typical” performance loss from roughness accumulation and leading-edge erosion. In addition, the laminar-turbulent transition locations are intended to aid validation of numerical simulations that include transition location as a function of operating condition and blade roughness state.
Measurements are made in the Oran W. Nicks Low-Speed Wind Tunnel (LSWT) located at Texas A&M University in College Station, Texas. The LSWT is a 2.1 m x 3.0 m wind tunnel with a maximum speed of 90 m/s. The airfoil models are mounted vertically. Both have an 813 mm chord length and span the tunnel height (3050 mm) with an approximately 12 mm gap at each wall. Various angles of attack are achieved by rotating the model using the LSWT floor turntable.
Lift and pitch moment measurements are made using surface pressure taps. Drag measurements employ a wake rake that measures the dynamic pressure profile approximately 730 mm downstream of the airfoil trailing edge. Load and angle-of-attack data are corrected for wind tunnel wall and blockage effects. Boundary layer transition location is measured using infrared (IR) thermography. Heat transfer from the air to the airfoil models is higher in turbulent regions, resulting in somewhat warmer surface temperatures where the flow is turbulent. IR images reveal different surface temperatures, which are analyzed to give the transition location.
- Geometrical angle of attack [degrees] (angle between airfoil chord line and nominal wind tunnel flow direction).
- Corrected angle of attack [degrees] (angle of attack accounting for wind tunnel wall effects).
- Sectional lift, drag, and pitch moment coefficients, cL = L/q0c, cD = D/q0c, and cM = M/q0c^2, respectively, where q0 is the reference dynamic pressure and c is the airfoil chord. cM is measured about c/4. Coefficients are corrected for wind tunnel wall and blockage effects.
- Pressure coefficients Cp = (p-p,ref)/q, relative to airfoil surface location (x/c,y/c). Pressure coefficients are not corrected for wind tunnel wall and blockage effects.
- Wake dynamic pressure profiles, q/q0.
- Boundary layer transition location on the upper (suction) and lower (pressure) airfoil surfaces as x/c.
- Infrared airfoil images as .jpg-format image files.

The Swarm-Aurora project was designed to facilitate and drive the use of Swarm in auroral science, and push Swarm beyond its primary mission objective to become a key instrument in auroral science research. The primary objective of Swarm-Aurora is to build a bridge between Swarm data, the Swarm science community, and optical images of the aurora collected primarily by ground-based All-Sky Imagers (ASIs).
We aim to acheive this by providing an easy-to-use and fast web interface to interact with a large array of summary data products from both ground-based and satellite instruments.
This movie aims to illustrate the vast amount of ground-based instruments spanning the globe and just how many possibilities for conjunctions with Swarm there are.
We have built two web interfaces to browse summary data. First, and our main focus of the project, is the Conjunction Finder. It focuses on satellite data and helping you find conjunctions with ground-based instrumentation.
Second is the Keogram Browser. Alternatively, it focuses only on the ground-based instrumentation and displays keograms.View the Conjunction Finder View the Keogram Browser
The Satellite Finder is a tool for efficiently finding the current position of a satellite, primarily in real-time. Additionally, you can adjust the settings to see where a satellite was (or will be) at a given time.
For example, if you're wondering if Swarm or ePOP is going to fly over a certain location in the next 20 minutes, just enable the satellite you're interested in and which hemisphere, and watch the map constantly update every minute. To utilize a more in-depth map, there is also a quick-link button that drops a pin on Google Maps for the current satellite you're tracking.View the Satellite Finder
AuroraX will be the world's first and foremost data platform for auroral science. The primary objective of AuroraX is to enable mining and exploration of existing and future auroral data, enabling key science and enhancing the benefits of the world's investment in auroral instrumentation.
Continued development of Swarm-Aurora has been included in the AuroraX project. Using the AuroraX Conjunction search, you can automatically find conjuctions and view them in Swarm-Aurora with a single click. Head on over to AuroraX and try it out!Go to AuroraX

Click to download the slides from Virgin Orbit’s session at MESA’s 2018 North American Conference.
When Virgin Orbit launched its digital transformation journey, one of its goals was to identify and implement technologies that would help it build a digital thread. The idea was to digitize the business’ processes end-to-end—"from the launch event, which is the company’s key event, and back all the way through test, integration, manufacturing, design, and all the way to the original requirements—either engineering requirements or business customer requirements — that drove decisions such as what the vehicle should perform, how it should perform and so forth,” said Andrzej Goryca, Senior Enterprise Systems Manager of the company.
That wasn’t the end goal, of course. As a relatively young company—it’s built about half a dozen rockets, so far—the ultimate goal was to design, build and launch rockets into low-earth orbit, even as they “design, build and launch our business—to take the business to the next level,” Goryca said.

Dr. Beougher and long-term patients, Arch and Sherry Bonnema supported Military Ministry at Norfolk, VA to give hope, support, and guidance to new military men and women.
Dr. Beougher, Chuck, and Arch were able to land on an aircraft carrier, The USS Roosevelt, and spend 24 hours touring the aircraft carrier as its 110 aircraft took off and landed every 10 minutes to be graded and ready for an 8-month Persian Gulf mission. Chuck stayed up all night signing autographs to all the 4500 crew member fans of his. We stood on the flight deck at sunset near Fort Lauderdale, Florida and watched the two F-16 pilots salute Chuck and then catapult in take-off from the ship to their maneuvers and then come back and be graded on their landings. It was an amazing “Top Gun” experience to stand by Chuck and watch the F-16 jets ‘blast off’ from the ship. Chuck is truly an amazing person (our Walker, Texas Ranger) and our military men and women are outstanding!

New nonstop flight to Paris secured through RDU, community partnership
Delta Air Lines has announced a new daily non-stop flight between Raleigh-Durham International Airport and Paris-Charles De Gaulle Airport (CDG) beginning May 2016.
The Regional Transportation Alliance business coalition launched the business community’s efforts to secure a new international flight in December with the announcement of the Air Service Advancement Project (ASAP), a three-year marketing initiative to recruit and promote new international service from RDU.
National experts discussed the RDU-Paris flight potential this spring at the annual RTA Transportation Breakfast, an event that highlighted the Triangle business community’s support for new international service and opportunities for success.
Bruce Sargent of IBM Corporation and RTA air service chair said, “We are pleased to see us go from possibility to approval of a nonstop Paris flight in just a few months and delighted to see the cooperative efforts of the Raleigh-Durham Airport Authority and many community partners come to fruition with this new transatlantic service from Delta Air Lines.”
Nonstop service between RDU and CDG will provide improved connections to more than 40 new foreign destinations, expanding the Triangle region’s global reach and attracting new talent.
Steve Brechbiel of Quintiles and RTA chair-elect said, “Direct access to a major European site like Paris also improves access to Asia, a market that has become increasingly important to our business. This new flight is not only about enhanced access for us to Europe and Asia; it is also about access to the Triangle from those growth markets.”
New service to an international gateway such as Paris will multiply the ability of our area’s major universities to grow their research and outreach programs and maximize regional competitiveness.
RTA Executive Director Joe Milazzo II, PE, said, “The business community’s goal for improved international air service from RDU is to help create and sustain a virtuous circle of enhanced investment from global companies in our market. With nonstop access to Paris and new, one stop access to dozens of destinations including Naples, Florence, and Kuala Lumpur, the new flight will complement our market’s existing transatlantic service and demonstrate how central and eastern North Carolina is truly connected to the world.”

One of the assets that a country can have is a good militia, and then to back up the militia you have air force with top notch fighter planes.
Fighter planes and good ones can help out a country mostly in times of war as this is the most convenient form to protect your country and being in the air gives you a chance of better attacking strategies. Fighter planes can also help out when things need to be carried in a time of crisis from air to sea or from air to surface.
A sign of a good nation is a having on deck a set of good planes and credible pilots for these tasks, that is why as the world is turning pages one of the big things that countries invest in are sturdy hardcore fighter planes. So today we will be presenting you with a list of the Top Ten Fighter planes , not only will this increase your knowledge but the next time you see a fighter plane in the air you may just be able to recognize it!
10: F-16 Fighting Falcon:
Originating from the United States, the Fighting Falcon or “Viper” as most of the pilots call it is mostly used by the United States Air Force and acts as multirole fighter aircraft with a single super fast engine, this means it does more than deal with air to air combat. Since its origin back in 1976 about over 4500 have been made and are serving in the USAF as well as by the Air Force Reserve Command, US Air Force Thunderbirds and Air National Guard Units. Some of the key features it has include using a fly by wire flight control system, a reclined seat specially made for the purpose of reducing g-force on the pilot and a canopy that provides maximum visibility.


Blue Oyster cult was wrong it’s time to fear the Reaper. This new replacement for the predator drone packs more of a punch then the F-16 fighter jet and the pilot is safe at home scratching his or her balls. The Reaper is scheduled to replace the old fighter jet so NO longer is your Playstation, X-box, or Nintendo a childs toy, it’s a sophisticated military training device. Let’s just hope the military doesn’t also create SkyNet and lead us to Judgment Day. Otherwise it’s more crappy Terminator sequels for all of us!

Yes, you can fly a drone in the Bahamas. You can bring a drone into the country and fly it for recreational or commercial purposes. However, rules and regulations apply, and there’s a lot you need to know before you decide to pack your drone for your travels in the Bahamas. Don’t worry; we have you covered; we will talk about everything you need to know about flying a drone in the Bahamas.
But first, let us answer some basic questions!
What’s Considered a Drone?
A drone is an aerial vehicle operated remotely. It can fly without the direct involvement of a human, hence the name UAV, Unassisted Aviation Vehicle. UAVs are part of the unmanned aircraft system. Drones are operated with the command of a ground-based controller.
Drones are used for both recreational and commercial activities. The range of uses for drones varies from monitoring climate change to photography to delivering goods to filming; however, military operations like targeted attacks, surveillance, and reconnaissance are the activities commonly associated with drones.
Is Recreational Use of Drones Allowed in the Bahamas?
Yes. In the Bahamas, you can use your drone for recreational purposes, provided that the drone is registered and has a permit.
Is Commercial Use of Drones Permitted?
Yes, commercial use of drones is permitted in the Bahamas. However, as noted above, you need to have your registration and permits.
Is Drone Insurance Mandatory?
Yes, drone insurance is mandatory for both commercial and private drones; you need to have third-party liability insurance.
Can you Fly a Drone Without a Pilot?
You cannot fly commercial drones without a valid drone pilot’s licence, but recreational drones are exempt from this rule.
Can you fly a Drone in Nassau?
Yes, you can fly a drone in Nassau as long as it has a permit and is registered.
Agencies that Regulate Drones in the Bahamas
Civil Aviation Authority Bahamas, also known as CAAB, is the agency responsible for regulating drones in the Bahamas.
What’s the Maximum Altitude Allowed for Drones?
400 feet is the maximum allowed altitude for drones in the Bahamas.
Further, you cannot fly within a 50-feet radius of any person, vehicle, or structure – unless the person, the vehicle, or the structure in question is directly associated with the operation of the drone.
What’s more, you cannot fly within 150 metres of any region that’s congested or highly populated, nor can you fly within a radius of 5 nautical miles of any airport.
General Rules for Drones
You need to adhere to certain rules and regulations to fly your drone in the Bahamas; they are as follows:
- You need a permit
- The drone needs to be registered
- You cannot fly over private property unless you have the owner’s permission
- You cannot fly over military installations, drone-free zones, and nature reserves
- Don’t fly at night or in bad weather with low visibility
How Do you Get a Permit to Fly a Drone in the Bahamas?
A permit is required to fly commercial or recreational drones in the Bahamas. Get in touch with the CAAB to get the permit – all you need to do is visit the CAAB website and submit the required information.
- Visit dates
- Regions in which you plan to fly the drone
- Drone’s build, serial number, and model
- Copies of your home country registration certificate
Once you’ve provided the necessary information, you’ll receive an email with an authorisation letter. You need to keep the letter as it’s required by customs. The letter has a validity period of 30 days.
Customs Requirements – The Bahamas Drone Deposit
The customs will assess the monetary value of the drone and request a deposit reflecting 50% of the value of the drone. You’ll be given a receipt, which will serve as evidence for you to fly your drone in the Bahamas. You will get your deposit back when leaving the country.
Is Registration Necessary?
Yes, registration is necessary to fly drones in the Bahamas. The Certificate of Registration can be obtained from the Civil Aviation Department – that is if you don’t already have one from the Federal Aviation Administration in the United States.
Paperwork for the Registration:
- Photo identification
- Certificate of Registration Liability Insurance
Best Drones to Buy For the Bahamas
Phantom 4, Mavic 2 Pro, and Parrot Anafi are some of the best drones for your travels in the Bahamas.
When buying a drone, you need to consider several things, including cost, model, camera, and battery life. Drones are prone to crash, which means they can cause damage to someone else’s property – this is why insurance is mandatory. Also, the cost range of most drones falls between USD 50 to USD 10,000.
Drone Travelling Tips
Know that airlines will only reimburse $1000 if the drone gets damaged or lost during the flight – the full cost of the drone isn’t taken into account when reimbursing. Due to this reason, we suggest you take your drone in your carry-on luggage.
Further, you cannot have your drone batteries in check luggage; this is because drone batteries can cause fire hazards in response to changes in temperature. Some airlines may have different rules, so make sure you check with the airline.
Cruises generally allow you to bring your drone with you. You can’t, however, operate your drone while on the ship. Also, you cannot fly your drone at ports.

DPC-LLC Aerial Cinematography
Drones, or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), are an exciting way to capture unique perspectives. As a director of photography with experience on many different camera platforms, it makes sense to expand into aerial cinematography. Marketing, branding, and narrative story telling benefit from creative visual perspectives that are not often seen and can evoke powerful feelings and responses from the viewer. Resorts, realtors, contractors, and developers can benefit from aerial images and video which show an overall layout, access routes, and progress of a project from a view not easily seen from the ground.

IOT – short for Internet of Things – the smart technology that is here to stay.
Drones – flying robots or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) or unmanned aircraft systems (UASs) unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) or unmanned aircraft systems (UASs)
So, what is the relation between these two?
Before we get into the relation between the two, let us first understand what exactly is meant by IOT.
A brief introduction about IOT:
IOT has certainly created a storm and is increasingly used everywhere.
So, what exactly is Internet of things?
Not delving too much into the technicalities, in simple terms, IOT is nothing but connecting everyday objects and devices to the Internet and to one another. The main aim is to provide the users with smart, efficient experiences.
These devices or objects could include anything and everything from cell phones, washing machines, coffee makers, headphones, wearable devices etc. IOT also applies to components of different machines like a jet engine of an airplane or the drill of an oil rig etc.
IOT is applied to a broad spectrum of things. It gives rise to virtually endless opportunities and connections.
The scope of IOT is vast and sophisticated.
And under this scope come the drones, which are a captivating example of Internet of things in action.
A little something about drones:
I believe there would be not many who must not have heard of drones and drones with cameras. Especially after Amazon tested the drone delivery system, many are aware of what drones are.
Drones are now being increasing used in different fields such as photography, videography, surveillance, military uses, weather monitoring, traffic monitoring etc.
These unmanned aircraft systems can access even the remotest and most impossible locations.
So much is the growing popularity of this technology; there are universities in the US which have courses in Unmanned Systems Applications, both at the bachelor’s level as well as the Masters’ level.
Photography and videography
Drones with cameras have become very popular for hobby enthusiasts and candid photography enthusiasts. Drones with different specifications and camera and video settings are available in the market today. There are many top notch products that come with some amazing features. These drones help in aerial photography and videography and get you excellent shots of beautiful locales, which are otherwise difficult to access.
As a hobby, drone photography is exploding in its popularity worldwide. All you need is the right equipment, hours of practice and patience. In fact, there are many hobby clubs, online resources and user groups for the same.
Both are the future
A fact that cannot be ignored is that both drones and IOT are evolving technologies that are the future. They have endless possibilities to be explored.
Drones are critically dependent on sensors, antennas, and the embedded software. This provides the two-way communication for the monitoring and remote control operations. And this is where IOT comes into play.
Even though the commercial use of drones is restricted, a day will not be far when the advantages of these overpower these restrictions.
There are many industries that will benefit from the commercial integration of drones with IOT. Precision agriculture, mining, infrastructure inspection, construction sites, surveying, monitoring, oil and gas, delivery, healthcare etc. are a few examples where drones and IOT could work very well.

Weightless when filled with Helium and flying over Moffett Field, the USS Macon was hard to handle on the ground. Its hanger is longer and wider than a football field. Two Curtis Biplanes fit into the hold of the airship, and they could be launched and retrieved in the air.
The giant hanger, shed of its outer cover, stands at the NASA Museum and Visitor Center in Moffett Field, but the USS Macon is no longer with us. It was lost at sea in a tragic accident. Fortunately, most of the 80 member crew were rescued.
Hanger 1 is empty today, waiting for its corporate sponsor to restore the outer cover. A display inside the museum reads:
“The Macon was the result of Yankee ingenuity and German technology. Built by the Goodyear Zeppelin Corp. in Akron, Ohio, she was based here from Oct. 1933 till Feb. 12 1935 when she was lost at sea off Point Sur.”
Visit the museum in Mountain View, CA and check out the many artifacts: a U2 spyplane, several NASA drones, helicopters, and loads of neat junk.

In case you missed it, an Expedition 23 Astronaut aboard the International Space Station snapped a picture of the aurora australis. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a shot of this from above before, and it’s even more awesome than viewing it from the ground. It’s so obvious from there that it’s a very real thing snaking around the curves of the earth.
Awesome. (h/t: Bad Astronomy)
