Out of this world
“The experience of a lifetime” is how Will Reid from the Melbourne School of Engineering described his time managing a rocket experiment in Sweden for the past 18 months. The Mechatronics and Computer Science student’s handiwork will be launched 85km into the Earth’s atmosphere later this year.
Will has recently returned to Melbourne from Stockholm, where he was based at the Royal Institute of Technology. During that time he worked as project manager on the RAIN experiment (which stands for Rocket Deployed Atmospheric probes conducting Independent measurements in Northern Sweden) which aims to collect aerosol dust particles from the Earth’s middle atmosphere in order to create a detailed profile of aerosols in this region.
The experiment, to take place in October, will involve the launch of two atmospheric probes that will be ejected from the sides of a REXUS sounding rocket (Rocket Experiment for Upcoming Students).
The probes will then collect aerosol particles as they fall back to Earth over a height range from 80 to 17 km.
Mr Reid says each probe was equipped with a rotating plate in its base.
“On this plate is a variety of different collection samples that will be exposed to the passing atmosphere via an exposure window.
“As the probe falls, particles will collide with the exposed collection sample. At 17 km the plate will stop rotating and the samples will be sealed.”
Mr Reid says the team will then recover each probe and analyse the collected particles at a lab at Stockholm University.
The rocket was originally scheduled to launch in March, but this was postponed so that further investigations into the rocket’s recovery system could be conducted.
As project manager for RAIN, Will managed a team of 18 engineering students.
“All of us were dealing with complicated engineering tasks, and planning and managing these tasks for such a large team was the most challenging aspect,” he says.
“As with anything difficult though, it was very rewarding and I learned a great deal about conducting an engineering team project; the practical sort of exercise not always experienced.”
Back in 2010 Mr Reid was three and a half years into his studies at Melbourne and keen to experience something a little different, so he looked into exchange opportunities.
“I had never been to Sweden and had heard really positive reports about the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, so I decided to give it a shot.”
He says the exchange experience was marvellous and he would recommend it to other students.
“It was hard work but it was a life-changing experience worth working for.
“I gained invaluable experience by taking part in a space engineering project. I met some great friends from all over the world, and I had a lot of fun.”
After graduation Mr Reid hopes to pursue a postgraduate degree in space engineering.
He says it has always been his dream to work in the space industry, and he intends to return to Sweden to witness the launch of his project in October.
“I’m sure it will feel ‘out of this world’ and deeply rewarding after a year and a half of work to see my experiment propelled into space.”


Marianna Airport Sets May 18-19 For The 8th Annual Armed Forces Day Celebration and Fly-In
MARIANNA, FL-Plans are being completed for the 8th annual Armed Forces Day Fly-In at the Marianna Municipal Airport. Events will open Friday with, an FAA Pilot Safety Seminar, and the arrival of USAF, World War II and Vietnam era aircraft for the public to view. Gates will open for the public Saturday morning at 8:00 AM, and there will be numerous exhibits, vendors with food, arts and crafts, along with helicopter and free aircraft rides for the young.
Opening ceremonies will start at 10:00 AM, with the presentation of colors and a welcome address by Mayor Kenny Hamilton, followed by a formation fly-over of the Red Dragons aerial demonstration team, presentation of the American flag and singing of the National Anthem. “We believe this year’s event will be the best ever, with more aircraft, vendors and activities for the entire family. It gives us an opportunity to welcome pilots and aviation enthusiast from all over the Southeast, and to showcase the improvements we have made at Marianna’s Municipal Airport,” said Nixon "Nick" Harwell, chairman of the event. Harwell added, “This year’s event will host a number of activities that will interest and thrill all ages.”
As part of the opening ceremony there will be a high altitude “free fall” parachute demonstration by the Inertia Skydiving team from Fort Rucker. The airport will be closed to flying operations during the parachute jump. Pilots are reminded to check for FAA NOTAMS because the airport will be operating with a control tower all day, Saturday, May 19th.
Pilots from the Wiregrass EAA Chapter 1358 will provide free airplane rides for at least 25 youngsters between the ages of 8 and 17. There will be WW II AT-6 aircraft that trained pilots at the airport, along with many other types of “War Birds” on static display. One of the featured attractions at this year's Fly-In will be the appearance of the Friends of Army Aviation-Ozark legacy UH-1H Bell Helicopter offering rides for $50 per person. You will be able to experience close-up, the Huey, which was made famous by its service during the Vietnam War
Early in the day, there will be a “Fly and Ride” bicycle ride, and from 8-10 AM, there will be a pancake and sausage breakfast for pilots flying into the Marianna Airport. Also for those pilots wishing to “top off” their tanks, SkyWarrior Aviation, the Fixed Base Operator at Marianna Airport will be offering a discount of $1 per gallon to those flying General Aviation aircraft.
As part of the Armed Forces Day Celebration, there will be an opportunity for former Graham Air Base pilots and instructors to travel down “memory lane” and enjoy a display of WW II and Graham Air Base books and memorabilia. At noon, we will host the second regional meeting of United Flying Octogenarian (UFO) pilots. To qualify for membership, pilots have to be 80 years of age or older, and able to act as Pilot in Command (PIC) after reaching that birthday milestone.
“We are very proud of our municipal airport and SkyWarrior, the airport operator”, said Jim Dean, City Manager, “and this year’s open house/fly-in is an opportunity for the citizens of Marianna and Jackson County to learn more about general aviation, the military history of this airport, and the rich heritage that makes our community such a special place to live, work and play.
Officials are anticipating over 2,000 to attend and more than 250 different aircraft will be flying in to the event from all over Florida and adjourning states. We want to thank all those who have put in many volunteer hours to make this event happen, and we especially thank the Jackson County Tourist Development Council and the following advertisers who have provided the funding, so admission can be free to the public.


Many folks are still out of work, and the other day when I was in Wichita, KS I did note that the general aviation manufacturing capital of the world was hurting pretty bad still. When discussing this with a local at Starbucks there, he mentioned he’d been laid off for quite some time. It seems that President Obama made some derogatory remarks about CEOs flying around in corporate jets, and literally over night used corporate jet aircraft sales tanked even worse than before, and corporate jet orders just stopped like they hit a brick wall.
We got to talking, mostly hangar talk, airplanes and flying stories, he said he’d like to start an aviation type business but didn’t know what he should do. Since, I’d previously built up a rather nice aircraft cleaning business, he asked; “How Long Does it Take to Wash a Small Cessna Aircraft, or similar plane?”
Good question and my answer was this. For exterior washing, one person with a 5.0 hp pressure washer can clean, remove bugs, clean windscreen, and degrease the belly of a C-152 in about 15-20 minutes if it is washed weekly. A Corvalis a few minutes faster since it is a low wing, but not much faster because it is a four-seater.
For interiors, well it matters if it is a private owner’s plane, or a rental. Interiors for Flight School, Clubs, and FBO aircraft take longer due to the number of flights and people who do not own the aircraft flying it. Private owners quite quickly, as you can use a quick dust buster portable, wipe down the dash, detail out the instrument panel and pump-spray bottle the doors and interior plastic, leather and vinyl.
Indeed, I’d say 5-minutes, a little longer than a car due to the tight quarters and difficulty moving around inside. Add an additional 5-minutes for flight school aircraft, they really get messy, especially as food items get between the seat tracks and things like that.
The big money in cleaning aircraft really is the corporate jet market, but until things drastically improve, I mentioned he’d have a tough go of it. But he could still do well detailing light aircraft, single engine jobs, as not all aircraft owners were in tough times, it really depends on where their money is coming from and the type of business they are in. “Aircraft washing is hard work,” I said “make no mistake about that.” If you are considering starting an aircraft cleaning service, perhaps you will consider all this.


The Embraer range of luxury executive jets just got better with the Phenom 300; the design sees a perfect balance of climb, speed, performance on takeoff and superb comfort that many other airlines may very well struggle to match.
So exactly what makes the Phenom 300 stand out from the crowd? First there is the fact that it is easily capable of being able to cruise at a high speed of 450 KTAS, equivalent to Mach 0.78, and it takes just 12 minutes before you are flying high at an altitude of 35,000. The range of the jet is also something that Embraer are able to brag about, with 6 onboard, the Phenom 300 is capable of flying 1, 800 nm, Embraer are also proud of the fact that this is the only light jet featuring standard single point re-fuelling, in short it is one of the very best business class jets in existence.
With all these advancements you might expect the Phenom 300 to fail when it comes to being economical, again Embraer have managed to pull this off too as the jet has been engineered for a life of around 28,000 cycles, which means it is low maintenance and you spend less time grounded for inspections. Need to land or take off on short runways in remote locations? No problem all that’s needed is a field length of 956 meters.
One of the first priorities of Embraer was the needs of the passengers, this started with the design of the fuselage of the craft, and the shape allows the belly of jet to extend out at the bottom to give passengers more leg room, the design also allows seats in the cabin to be lower so there is more headroom. The interior of the jet was designed by BMW Group Design works, they made sure that the windows were large and this gives the cabin space a light and very airy feeling, along with the very best views possible.
The jet is the only business aircraft to have an air stair single piece door that ensures easy entry and exit for passengers and there will be a choice of three basic layouts in the cabin with the standard one having six seats in a set out in a four seat club section with forward facing seating in the aft cabin. If you have a lot of luggage to take with you, no problem, the luggage compartment can carry a golf bag, ski bag, garment bag and a carry-on bag for each of the passengers onboard along with passengers being able to store small items in the cabin.
To summarize if you are looking for a luxury business jet that has great economy, one of the largest cabins in its class, is customizable, can take off and land almost on a pinhead and stands out from the crowd, the Embraer 300 may just be the perfect choice.


OK…today I fulfilled a boyhood dream.
I always wanted to fly. In fact, I remember literally taking flight as a kid in my dreams quite often as I jumped off the concrete porch at my grandfather’s house so high that I stayed up and viewed the world from the skies. I also remember my attempts to build a remote control airplane as a kid with a toy plane, an antenna, and a battery. It never really worked but I sure believed it would.
It took me 45 years to really get in the air. My most recent flying experience was at Disney Epcot Center on the Soar! ride. Cool, but it didn’t compare to the real thing. Sure, I’ve taken many jet flights and even a helicopter flight in Hawaii but today I took my first flight lesson where I actually sat behind the controls and made it happen. This was a birthday present from my lovely wife…who was confident that I’m well insured.
It was fun, exciting, and a little nerve racking. It was kind of an overwhelming sensory experience. I did remember to breath. There’s the physical sensation of moving, lots of new sights to see from a different perspective (2000 feet up), and the sound of the radio and plane engine. So many things to remember…the dials, knobs, and controls.. all important to do their function.
I think I’ll do some more ground training for a while and with flight simulators before I go up again…but I’m sure there will be another time. This is really living!
Check out Photos and video of landing the Cessna 172S Skyhawk SP I flew. (By the way…in the video it appears that the propeller stops and starts and even goes backwards. It’s not really doing that. It’s just how video works when it’s trying to capture something moving really fast.)

Kitty Hawk, home of the Wright brothers is now a place for the memorial of the first plane. Airplanes have come a long ways since then. The first airplane was built on the concept of soaring. Airplanes today are expected to carry thousands daily across the world. These planes are set up with comfortable reclining seating, rest rooms, baggage compartments, and flight attendants. In the earlier airplanes, there were only one or two seats. There was no tea and coffee service or the ability to go to the rest room if need arose. Airplanes and flying airplanes offers jobs in different fields. There are pilots that control the airplane from landing to flying. Flight attendants serve food and beverages as well as assist passengers on and off the plane. They are also trained to help passengers and crew in case of emergencies. The airports hire individuals to load and unload, to sell, and service tickets, to clean the buildings and to maintain the aircraft. To fly an airplane from one state to another state takes the cooperation of many individuals. To seek jobs in Aviation, go online to research pilotâ€™s license, flight attendant schools, www.bestchoicetv.com/, aviation requirements, and jobs at your local airport.

Drag Coefficients of NACA23012 obtained from extrapolation with Viterna and Montgomerie Methods 816 Faisal Mahmuddin et al. / Energy Procedia 105 ( 2017 ) 811 â€" 816 From Fig. 4, it can be seen that there is a good agreement between the CD curve computed with Viterna and Montgomerie methods.
Induced drag (see Figure 1) is created at the tips of the airplane wings. In order to achieve lift, the wings create a lowpressure region above the wings and a highpressure region below the wings. At the end of the wing, highpressure air underneath the wing tries to move around the end of the wing to the lowpressure air on top of the wing.

The drag coefficient is always associated with a particular surface area. The drag coefficient of any object comprises the effects of the two basic contributors to fluid dynamic drag: skin friction and form drag. The drag coefficient of lifting airfoil or hydrofoil also includes the effects of lift induced drag.
Jun 12, 2014· The lift divided by drag is called the L/D ratio, pronounced "L over D ratio." From the last equation we see that the higher the L/D, the lower the glide angle, and the greater the distance that a glider can travel across the ground for a given change in height.
Does Drag Increase with Speed? As an aircraft's speed increases, drag on the aircraft generally increases much faster. Doubling the speed makes the airplane encounter twice as much air moving twice as fast, causing drag to quadruple. Drag, therefore, sets practical limits on the speed of an aircraft.

Aviation Fiber Optics Ready for Take-Off
Commercial airlines know the importance of passenger safety—and the value of using amenities to build customer loyalty. A major U.S. airline recently released new cabin interior designs with leather seat covers, seatback pockets for laptops, tray table tablet holders, and A/C charging outlets. The improvements were based directly on customer feedback. In addition to legroom, travelers want accessibility to electronic devices—including smartphones, tablets, laptops—and seamless connectivity to business or in-flight entertainment (IFE).
Manufacturers of commercial aircraft are revamping cabin interiors with improved connectivity while delivering value-added benefits to airlines. For design engineers, that means reducing weight and cost while enhancing safety and the passenger experience. Fiber optics can give them greater design freedom. Fiber enables smaller, lightweight components with improved bandwidth and other advantages in networked IFE systems for passengers and in the cabin equipment used by flight crews.
Fiber optic circuitry allows a more centralized network configuration while accommodating economy, business and first-class marketing strategies. Traditional copper cable assemblies can cause bottlenecks when 300+ passengers attempt to access streaming content. Data moves more rapidly over a fiber communication backbone, delivering performance of 10 Gbps and up. That translates into streamlined IFE systems over a future-proof, scalable network.
Data security is an issue for commercial passenger aircraft, and fiber provides a more cyber-resilient architecture than a copper network. Dielectric and immune to EMI, fiber also offers extremely reliable data transmission and is less susceptible to temperature fluctuations and moisture than copper.
Molex provides cost-effective flex plane fiber optic circuitry for high-density routing on aircraft. Versatile flex circuitry delivers high fiber count in a substrate designed for card-to-card or shelf-to-shelf routing. Ribbon fiber, pre-spliced fibers, connector options and field termination simplify installation.
Providing a nearly 50% substrate size reduction compared to standard fiber optic cabling in space-constrained aircraft cabins, Molex 3D-style flex circuitry routes fiber on multiple stacked substrates to achieve a compact routing area. Flex optical circuitry can be routed point-to-point or in a shuffle for crew equipment—and in a logical, linear pattern for aircraft rows and seats.
Molex fiber optic circuitry offers a “wheels up” option for virtually any routing scheme in aircraft cabin interior designs. Learn more: www.molex.com/industry/military.html.


The advancement of wireless technology has spurred the development of the Internet of things, in which many devices are being connected to the Internet and are able to access information previously unavailable. Airplanes have joined this trend with the advent of servers and electronic flight bags (EFB). These devices allow the airplane to become a node in the operator’s network that is accessible and can exchange information in real time.
The Advantages of Having the Internet on the Aircraft
Systems on board airplanes produce significant amounts of data throughout each flight. However the data is confined to the airplane and downloaded through a labor intensive process only when needed. Today onboard servers and EFB allow the operators to quickly download the airplane data. Furthermore the connectivity to the Internet allows the crew to access real time information previously unavailable, from weather to updated flight planning information, giving them the capability to further optimize their routing and increase the comfort and safety of the passengers.
The Dangers of Internet Connectivity for the Aircraft
The connectivity to the Internet is however a two-way pipeline and it carries security risks with it. Modern onboard servers allow the operator to firewall the airplane from external risks, diminishing the downsides of the onboard use of the Internet.
What do you think about the advantages of allowing the aircraft to connect to its operator via the internet?
What about the dangers of allowing on-board servers to talk to ground operators via the internet?
Do passengers think the airplane systems are already connected to the internet?

There was actually once a plane that had square windows: the De Havilland Comet. After a few fatal crashes resulting from breakups in midair, the aircraft had its certificate of airworthiness removed. A thorough investigation revealed that the crashes were caused by increased stress especially at the corners of the windows. As a result, the fatigue on the aircraft over many flights resulted in the stress points at the corners of the windows to give way. All windows on airplanes are structural weak points, even round ones. Each additional window is decreasing the structural integrity of the body of the aircraft.
UPDATE: This was NOT caused by an oxygen tank but by a bomb smuggled inside of a laptop. Are the authorities going to forbid laptops in the cabin now? Accident: Daallo A321 near Mogadishu on Feb 2nd 2016, explosion rips fuselage open.
A Daallo Airlines Airbus A321-100, performing flight from Mogadishu (Somalia) to Djibouti with 74 passengers and 7 crew, was climbing out of Mogadishu about 5 minutes into the flight when an explosion was heard. The crew stopped the climb and returned the aircraft to Mogadishu for a safe landing about 20 minutes after departure. A large hole was seen at the right hand side of the fuselage above the wing.
The airline confirmed an explosion on board, the cause is under investigation, an oxygen bottle is being suspected. Passengers report at least one person was blown out of the aircraft. One passenger was missing after landing, the body was recovered near Balad about 21nm northnortheast of Mogadishu.
One passenger reported he saw the explosion occur inside the aircraft a couple of seat rows ahead of him followed by an air rush and sudden drop of cabin pressure, the seat belt held him in his seat. He saw two injured people around him, one an elderly man from Finland and another one being a young Italian. The elderly man was severly burned.

Why do Airplane Wings Wobble? When an aircraft is flying at a constant speed and at a constant altitude then the same amount of force will be pushing it up as well as down i.e. the net force will be zero. Now if the plane enters an area of higher air density say a large cloud then this would lead to an increase in the force pushing it up i.e. lift force will increase. As a result the plane is pushed upwards and its wings temporarily bend up in the process. Now if the plane enters an area of lower density i.e. it comes out of the cloud then the lift force is reduced, as a result the plane comes down, its wings bend back down. This sudden change in lift force is what causes the plane wings to wobble.

2009 Formula 1 World Champion Jenson Button is finding a lot of fun things to do during this winter. One of them almost looked like a test drive for a new career – as a British Airways pilot!
Jenson spent 90 minutes perfecting take-off, cruise and landing of the world’s largest commercial aircraft A380. That happened at British Airways’ simulator at the Flight Training Centre near London’s Heathrow Airport. It uses cutting edge motion, audio and graphics technology to deliver a completely immersive experience. This is the facility where the airline’s 4,200 professional pilots are trained.
Jenson was coached on the flight deck by British Airways’ Head of Technical and Training, Captain Dave Thomas and Senior First Officer William Swinburn.
The 37-year-old made three landings into Hong Kong International Airport in total. He was thrilled to take control of the iconic double-decker four-engine aircraft. The A380 forms the centrepiece of British Airways’ fleet along with the Boeing 787 Dreamliners.
Jenson Button: “I think I did pretty well for a first timer”
Jenson said: “It was so cool! I’ve flown all over the world but this is the first time I’ve experienced what it’s like to be at the controls and it was a pretty incredible feeling.
“It’s like you’re in a real aircraft and after a while you forget it isn’t the real thing. I think I did pretty well for a first timer – though if there were passengers in the back we might have had a few complaints about my first landing. Let’s just say it was a bit bumpy.”
“Jenson obviously has experience travelling at high speeds. He adapted well to taking control of the A380”, the impressed captain Thomas added.
“Being a pilot is all about calmness under pressure, preparing properly and getting from A to B with safety being the foremost priority at all times, so I think coming from a Formula 1 background Jenson definitely has some of the attributes required of a pilot.”
Button signed a new 2-year contract with McLaren in 2016 but will not drive for the team in the 2017 F1 championship. Now he is McLaren’s ambassador, while having an option to return as a regular driver in 2018.
In December 2016 Jenson received an honorary doctorate from the University of Bath and captain Thomas joked that now he can call himself “captain doctor Button”!
“That would be cool!”, agreed the British driver.
Thank you British Airways 4 giving me this opportunity to fly such a big bird! To be fair she handled better than some F1 cars I’ve driven! https://t.co/58BCbJ1gk3

Watch the video and then read on.
Much like the airplane above, an airliner I was riding in Nov. 8 attempted to land at Tampa International Airport and touched down on the back wheels, before the pilot aborted the landing and took off again.
The maneuver is called a touch and go. I had seen U.S. Air Force and U.S. Navy pilots perform the exercise during airshows, but I had no idea a commercial jet could do the same.
Tropical Storm Ida was in the Gulf of Mexico, kicking up winds and making it quite difficult for airplanes to land. Inside the cabin, I was in front section of the plane sandwiched between a husband who favored the aisle and his wife who preferred the window seat.
The plane tilted back and forth as we approached the runway. I was not worried. I had been on a flight more than 10 years earlier that experienced much worse turbulence during the landing and had been just fine. This time, though, the nose didn’t come down. There was a jolt and suddenly we were airborne again.
The woman seated next to me grabbed my arm, and I clutched her husband’s leg.
As the plane circled the airport, I tried to make sense of what had happened, and the woman next to me criticized the pilot.
“He has an accent,” she said. “Our pilots were trained in the Air Force and Navy, and they know how to fly a plane.”
“Hispanic,” her husband replied.
I scrambled to offer a coherent response that would not lead to a fight on the plane that had just aborted a landing and was being flown by a pilot who sounded Hispanic.
When someone spouts such nonsense, I always tell people to say something, anything in response, or the person who just uttered the xenophobic remark will think you agree with her.
In the most nonjudgmental tone I could find, I said: “Well, you know, he may have been trained in the Air Force or the Navy.”
The woman didn’t say a word. Her husband, though, agreed with me.
Maybe she will think before she speaks next time. Maybe.

Jeff Bezos and brother to fly to space in Blue Origin flight

The Amazon founder will fly on the first human flight launched by his space company, Blue Origin.


I have done quite a lot of hours in a simulator already and own a coaxial chopper I use for indoor hover training, which you can see here as it was before the flimsy bodywork got slightly damaged (and here after a second recent crash)...
At the time of writing this I was thinking about getting myself a Nano Arrow, as it is smaller/lighter (=less easily damaged), has a "normal" configuration with single rotor blades and a powered tail rotor and is cute as hell. I have now bought one of these and use it for training. ;-)
Recently I got a question about simulators, specifically if there were any open source/free ones around.
As I really didn't know (only having used RealFlight 4.5 myself), I did a quick Google. This is what I found:
- A silly, arcade like Java "simulator"
- Flight simulator information on about.com
- List of helicopter flight simulators on about.com, including links to demo versions
- Flying Model Simulator, which does seem to be (also available as?) freeware
- Hovercontrol.com seems to be related to helicopter simulation with/in Microsoft Flight Simulator?
- Flight simulator information on thirtythousandfeet.com (seems to be geared more towards fixed wing aircraft?)
- FlightGear Flight Simulator seems to actually be open source
If you know of anything that should be in this list that I missed (didn't put that much time into compiling it), please let me know in the comments.
Get the right controller
One last comment: if you are (or become) serious about flying RC helicopters, I think it will be imperative to have simulator software that has a physical USB transmitter available or at least the means to attach and use one.
What you have in your hands while simulator flying should really be as close as you can get to what you will be flying your actually helicopter with. This helps to train muscle memory and make you a pilot instead of "just" a gamer trying to fly an actual helicopter model.
If you want to know more about my helicopter adventure, please check out my personal blog (which is in Dutch).

“Axos calling Earth. Fuel system exhausted. Request immediate assistance.”
Many years ago, the vast space parasite Axos attempted to suck the planet Earth of its energy. Now it’s all but forgotten – a dried-up husk, marooned in orbit, still stuck in the time loop it was placed in by Earth’s defender, the Doctor.
Forgotten, that is, except by space tourism billionaire Campbell Irons – who’s hatched a plan to solve the world’s energy crisis by reviving Axos, and transmitting its power back to Earth. But the crew of the spaceship Windermere aren’t alone aboard the parasite. The Doctor has returned, to correct an error of decades past…
And Axos is waiting.


Air tourists are returning to the skies and U.S. planes are now ordinarily flying entire and with many passengers not sporting masks — a be concerned for these most vulnerable to COVID-19 an infection.
Pexco Aerospace, based in Union Gap in Central Washington, strategies to provide a alternative for airlines that could be completely ready to fly future year.
It has partnered with Seattle-primarily based Teague, a major design and style company, to develop a very simple snap-on plastic component that creates an “air shield” procedure it touts as raising protection of airline travellers from virus transmission.
“There are still a whole lot of folks worried about air basic safety,” explained Jon Page, president of Pexco. “We hope this will give persons some peace of brain.”
Pexco, a device of multinational aerospace conglomerate Transdigm, employs about 200 people in Union Hole, Yakima County, production plastic components and trim for airplane cabin interiors, these as lights and stow bin elements and covers for the seat tracks.
The new product or service, a notion developed by Teague in 2020, is a plastic element that matches about the overhead air vents previously mentioned each and every row of passenger seats and redirects the air stream.
As an alternative of a cone of air flowing on to a passenger’s head from a pinhole above, several skinny, curved slots in the plastic renovate the flow into a curved “curtain” of new air that surrounds the passenger at the facet and in entrance.
The strategy is that air breathed out by the passenger, even a cough or a sneeze, will be directed downward by the air stream to the cabin’s outflow vents at the flooring degree.
Pexco stated its checks clearly show the procedure minimizes shared air particles in between neighboring travellers in an financial state cabin by 76%.
It’s developed to be quickly retrofitted to a Boeing 737 or an Airbus A320.
Site stated Pexco has labored with Alaska Airlines and Southwest Airways to establish and test the procedure and is in the last levels of obtaining Federal Aviation Administration certification.
He stated with just a closing smoke examination to be done the program could be certified this summertime and mounted on the initial airliners up coming yr.


World War II is, to many American citizens, a distant memory -- or in some cases, nothing more than an excerpt from a high school history book. First-hand accounts from our veterans who honorably served are becoming rarer with each passing day as time and age wrenches them from our midst.
Rarer still are museums where World War II history can be experienced first-hand. Most displays feature preserved aircraft that will never feel air under their wings again, accompanied by a few paragraphs on it's role in WWII -- a mere footnote to it's heritage.
History Flight aims to change the way WWII aviation history is presented. By embarking on a regional tour annually with three of the most important types of World War II aircraft: The North American B-25 Mitchell, the North American AT-6 / SNJ Texan, and the Boeing N2S Stearman, History Flight brings history to local airports for people to experience in their own communities. Instead of being only available for viewing on the ground, History Flight aircraft come alive and offer the ultimate in first-hand experience with WWII history: the opportunity to fly aboard one!
Each aircraft and flight experience is unique and our guests have the choice of which program fits their taste. Additionally, proceeds from each flight go directly toward our efforts to research, uncover, and help return our Missing In Action servicemen from World War II from the distant lands where they paid the ultimate sacrifice in fighting for our freedom.
The History Flight Tour Schedule
for 2014 is still to be determined, but the Stearman
and AT-6 will be available for ride bookings all year
at the DeLand, Florida


What We Do
In addition to the physical restoration of the two aircraft, our mandate is also to Honour and Educate; Honour those who designed, built, flew and serviced these aircraft in wartime and in peace and to Educate ourselves and others about the significant place in Canadian history of these rare machines and the pivotal work they did.
Since acquiring the aircraft in 2012, we’ve built new steel jigs for the Mosquito fuselage and wing, acquired a very rare original Wild aerial camera, tracked down and purchased wartime de Havilland specification birch plywood, scrounged missing parts from around the world and begun the delicate and exacting work of repairing the structural damage to the Mosquito fuselage.
We’ve sub-contracted the restoration of the Hurricane to Historic Aviation Services in Wetaskiwin, AB., while we retain the airplane’s Merlin engine in Nanton where we have brought it back to running status so that visitors can enjoy the sight and sound of the Hurricane’s mighty Merlin engine when the restoration is complete.
As well we have been invited to numerous international conferences to speak not just about the aircraft and the work to preserve them but to share with museum professionals around the world our unique web of partnerships with government, business and other not for profits that allowed us to prevent the sale of these airplanes overseas, to raise all the money required to restore them and to put together a team to get it all done. We’ve been told that our strategy and success in these areas is unique and based on results, very effective.

Areas of expertise:
Space exploration and civilian and military aerospace research.
It is a USA government organization that works for the non military personnel space program just as for aviation, logical disclosure, Earth and aviation research. It was set up by the National Aeronautics and Space Act on 1 October 1958 by president Dwight D. Eisenhower. It manages the improvement of tranquil applications (instead of military) in space science and is the accountable for the U.S. science and innovation that arrangements with space investigation and planes.

In the space of catastrophic events: Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the U.S. Branch of Agriculture (USDA), and the U.S. Geographical Survey (USGS), University of Maryland, the U.S. Woodland Service (USFS).
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) was made by the National Aeronautics and Space Act in 1958. NASA, as organization of the Unite States government, has “the mission to pioneer the future in space investigation, logical revelation and flying examination.” Therefore, NASA amasses its endeavors in two primary regions, in particular: space investigation and regular citizen and military aviation research.
In the space of catastrophe the board, NASA is aware of the way that “right gauge and forecasts of regular wonders are indispensably critical to consider appropriate clearing and harm alleviation procedures.” Consequently, NASA gives significant information from its satellite missions and works in participation with other North American associations to forestall and relieve the outcomes of a cataclysmic event.
Principle exercises by NASA:
The fundamental exercises of NASA are centred around the examination and trial of new flight innovations, the production of capacities for economical human and automated investigation, space investigation and supply of room advancements. NASA grows likewise its exercises in the field of calamity the executives.

This was just a little exercise in space animation (astromation?) which is something I’d like to do a lot more of. I downloaded the excellent ISS model from NASA’s site for this test. The file can be found here: NASA ISS model
For the Earth and moon I used high res maps from NASA’s Blue Marble site.
The cloud map was composed of two separate 21K maps, which needed to be stitched and cleaned up. The cloud file was too large to save at 42K x 21K so I reduced it down a bit, while still retaining detail. Its the cloud maps that seem to break up the most when rendering closeup, orbit shots of the Earth, so the high res maps were important. For the atmospheric glow and shading on the Earth model, I used Michael Welter’s great free plugin shader Atmosphere (make sure you donate to his site if you use any of his plugins!).
Heres the very short animation test. Theres a bit of flicker on one of the solar panels–looks like I might have some overlapping geometry there. Good enough for a test.
I’m working on an animation project right now which is once again science oriented, but this time instead of focusing on a world usually seen only through a scanning eleectron microscope, I’m going the other direction in terms of scale:
BIG SPACE THINGS!
I hope to finish this thing SOON, but in the meantime here are some progress stills.
The planetary texture maps were wrangled from various places. NASA’s Blue Marble website had some nice maps, but I also found this great site: JHT’s Planetary Pixel Emporium which had some super high res Earth images which you could download for $8 USD. The free maps that are also there are very nice (include many planets and moons in the solar system) and could also be found elsewhere on the net if you google, but for me, the hi-res maps were worth the 8 dollars.
I did some extensive shader work in Cinema 4d to get the looks I was after, especially for the Earth maps.
The sun and star shaders were all procedural using the many noise shaders available in Cinema and mixing them in various ways.
I must say, doing these space oriented projects is a lot of fun!

The Space Shuttle Program has come to end and with it the age of the transportation to and from the Space Station for the United States. Throughout the 30 year history, I have lived most of those years in South Florida.
The mighty blast off from Cape Canaveral thundered for 135 shuttle flights. Some rose in the morning skies and while many others lit up the night sky. Living in Naples and as long as the weather cooperated for Mission Control, we were in the direct flight path for the shuttle landings. As the shuttles would slow in speed, Naples was directly below the mighty glider as it broke the sound barrier. It became a common saying when you would hear the loud double “boom – boom” to say to another, “The shuttle is here!”
As Atlantis began her decent across the clear early morning sky on July 22nd, I got up early. 6:57 a.m. EST was touch down, but for me, that mean 6:35ish a.m. I needed to be out and on the lookout.
In that waning crescent moonlight, coming out of the south and heading toward its final landing was Atlantis. I stood there and watched it cross the early morning sky, lit up by the moon. I wondered, in all of those 135 flights into space, did a quilt ever make the journey?
My thoughts were interrupted by the famous “boom – boom.” “The shuttle is here!” one last time. So if a quilt had never made its way on board these flights, quilters, we need to ask our Russian quilting friends to take over the quest.

In January 2000, the San Diego Aerospace Museum, California (in downtown Balboa Park) proudly added it's newest and only Army aircraft exhibit to their Pavilion of Flight courtyard displays. The U.S. Army Cobra Attack AH-1S (ECAS) helicopter was donated to the museum over ten years ago by the U.S. Army Aviation Command in St. Louis, Missouri. During the past ten years, many hundreds of hours of volunteer time went into the complete restoration of the helicopter. The helicopter sits atop a pole, with the fuselage angled slightly downward, reminiscent of the gun runs of the past. The main rotor blade even spins (less than 6 revolutions a minute), but still allows the imagination to wonder how these Cobra pilots could land in such tight confined areas without damaging the aircraft. The main rotor is 48 feet wide. This helicopter was a real beast during it's time, and shot 20mm ammo through the turret gun. It also could carry in various combinations up to 72 - 19mm Folding Fin Aerial Rockets (FFAR) or 8 TOW (Tube-launched, Optically-sighted, Wire-guided) missiles. And of course, night, haze, or fog, was never an obstacle due to the incredible capabilities of the M65/C-NITE FLIR (Forward-looking Infrared) Night Sight.
Port Side - You can see the Tow missiles, TOW launchers, and rocket pods. Also, you can see the "toilet-bowl" exhaust scoop, instead of the IR Suppressor exhaust found on the later "F" series. Also missing on this series is the ALQ-144 IR Jammer, found directly on the top housing behind the mast.
Starboard Side - You can see the tail rotor, fuel port and the main rotor turned 90/270 degrees as it rotates counter- clockwise.
Although it's a bit hard to see in the left photo, my name "CPT BOLTRALIK" is stenciled beneath the Co-Pilot / Gunner station door (above the green arrow) ..... for all to see and wonder who I was. I am deeply honored to have served my country as a U.S. Army Senior Aviator.
As any helicopter pilot will tell you, flying a helicopter is a skill that takes many years to master. But once it is mastered, helicopter flight is a thing of real beauty, with total 360 degree maneuverability.


200,000 PEOPLE HAVE APPLIED TO GO TO MARS
A Dutch company is moving forward with its plan to send four lucky people to colonize Mars. The catch is you won't ever come back.
More than 200,000 people have signed up to be prospective astronauts. The application period is now closed and by the end of this year, the company will notify the people who made it to Round 2.
The Mars One foundation announced that it has gotten enough funding for an unmanned mission in 2018. It will involve a robotic lander and a communications satellite.
This first mission will show the technology that would be involved in a permanent human settlement on Mars. If all goes well, the first people could land on Mars in 2025.
** After the first humans arrive in 2025, the plan is to send additional crews every two years, Right now, the idea is to send crews of four, but eventually bigger vehicles may be able to transport more people.
PREDICTION: HUMANS WILL LIVE ON THE MOON WITHIN 30-40 YEARS
An astronaut says people will live on the Moon within 30 to 40-years.
Commander Chris Hadfield of the International Space Station believes humans living on the Moon is the next logical step in exploration.
He says he expects there to be a permanent base on the Moon with people living there in 30 to 40-years. And this will improve access to space exploration.

The most ideal choice shy of private ground school, Understanding Weather detaches explicit bits of the climate puzzle in every module and fits them all together as you continue,
- Getting Airspace – online aviation course
Bar Machado’s seminar on Understanding Airspace for all Pilots is a sensational course that assists all pilots with bettering our current airspace framework and a pilot’s commitment while working inside it. This course is intended for anybody keen on passing their private, business, or CFI information or down-to-earth test. It’s additionally a significant course for corroded pilots wanting to recover their money. In any case, this isn’t simply one more seminar on airspace. It’s an itemized, sensational course that gives clarifications concerning “Why” the airspace exists how it does. It’s insufficient to know the principles; it’s likewise vital to get their explanation.
- Dealing with In-Flight Emergencies –online aviation course

Are we stepping in the drone-era?
Drone phenomena entered the market full-time quite recently and seems to be here to stay. Drones’ potential is so enormous that we don’t fully grasp it yet. So, how can drones influence the industry and, most importantly, our personal lives?
Drones originated in military in 1960’, where they were used to trace vehicles during the Vietnam War. These were the prototypes of what we now call a drone.
Currently, drones, also known as unmanned aircraft vehicles (UAVs), can be spotted everywhere. They are used in daily lives to take pictures during important events or even to take a generic selfie. However, they are particularly used in many other, more professional fields.
Demand for drones is thriving, most construction sites and land management companies use them for aerial mapping, energy companies rely on them to increase people’s safety and efficiency, whereas cinematography uses them to film documentaries or particular scenes that otherwise would be difficult to access.
This is not all because many more industries plan to invest in drones in the following years. Among them are chip companies or defense contractors.
However, flying commercial drones can still be illegal and many actions are forbidden. Any filming, goods delivery or even crop-spraying cannot be done without a permission from Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). This is a pity, because companies like Google and Amazon planned to deliver their parcels using drones.
These restrictions are needed, though. FAA wants to protect the citizens from being spied on or hurt. A few weeks back, illegal drones delayed the firefighting in Southern Carolina because they interfered with official planes that couldn’t perform the rescue procedures. Similar situation happened in Poland few weeks back, when Lufthansa plane almost crashed with illegally piloted drone. These are only recent examples, but you can clearly see that drones may have led to a serious accident.
Drones are clearly becoming a ‘toy’ of today which may speed up many processes resulting in faster time to market. Let’s just hope that in time, we will be able to fully experience their possibilities.
