What can I tell ya...I'm a regular guy, married with 3 boys and a daughter-in-law to keep me on my toes. I thank God everyday for my family -- They are my inspiration, pride, and joy. I was in the US Air Force for over 20 years and enjoyed my time in the Air Force, 'cept fer the last year of my 3-year tour with Air Force Recruiting Service. Don't get me wrong -- I thoroughly enjoyed talkin' with and inspirin' young Americans to join the Great Way of Life I've experienced until some folks in AFRS tried to make my life hell. Anywaayyss...On to more positve things...
I'm originally from the Ice Cream Capital of the World...What!?! Ya don't know where that is?...Wel-l-l that's of course, LeMars, Iowa. After high school, I decided to join the USAF. That was the best move I could have made! I learned many skills and completed 2 associate degrees through the Community College of the Air Force (Electronic Systems Technology and Avionics Technology).
My first job in the Air Force was a Titan II launch crewmember (I was a Ballistic Missile Analyst Technician ...whew!... BMAT fer short). I was a BMAT at Davis-Monthan AFB, AZ from 1979 to 1983, and then at McConnell AFB, KS from 1983 to 1986. Fortunately, we never had to use these missiles, but we won the Cold War, ya know! :) When the Titan II missiles were deactivated, I cross trained into Post Attack Command and Control Systems on the EC-135, and was stationed at Ellsworth AFB, SD from 1986 to 1992. Ellsworth AFB area is beautiful! Loved it! Then I volunteered for recruiting service for an extra $275 "bone-us" pay every month...oops...Anyways, after being abused by AFRS, I was stationed at Davis-Monthan AFB, AZ as a communication and navigation technician on EC-130's and the Airborne Battlefield Command and Control Center (ABCCC) from 1996 to 1999. I was also a volunteer tour guide for the Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Center (AMARC) and the Titan II missile museum in Green Valley, AZ.
Bein's that I'm retired from the Air Force, the Air Force now pays me to stay away...hehheh. I'm currently working as a service technician repairing and installing fire alarm systems, nurse calls, and cctv systems full-time, and do assorted computer and technology jobs part-time in Sioux Falls, SD, and lovin' relearnin' bein' a sillyvilian. When I do get a few minutes, I enjoy computer related stuff, electronics, woodworkin', coin collectin', readin', and chess.

Commitment To Quality
Outside Testing Conducted on FLUID FILM ©:
- Naval Aviation Depot in Pensacola, Florida conducted a process improvement study in October 1991, comparing FLUID FILM to the required preservatives being used. In addition, further testing was conducted on FLUID FILM for its corrosion protection capabilities in an outside environment: FLUID FILM was found to provide superior protection in salt water environments, and in testing conducted to direct exposure to the outside environment, FLUID FILM was found to provide "outstanding results." Further statements made about FLUID FILM included "FLUID FILM provides superior corrosion protection plus a more environmentally safe workplace. The use of this preservative will help to remove another ozone depleting substance from the system."
- Boeing North American, Inc. Space Systems Division wrote specification MB 0110-020 for FLUID FILM's use on the Space Shuttle after FLUID FILM met or exceeded all of the following requirements:
- Salt Spray Test Requirement - 750 hours in a 5% salt fog environment according to ASTM B117.
- Solids Content Requirement - At least 95%, ignoring water loss, when tested in accordance with ASTM D 2369.
- Heat Resistance Requirement - Subjecting one panel to a temperature of 150ºF for one hour per FED-STD-141.
- Flash Point Requirement - The flash point will be no less than 400º F when tested per ASTM D92.
- Boeing ran an additional test, placing FLUID FILM in a 5% salt fog chamber with dissimilar metals, an environment which creates an extremely corrosive environment. FLUID FILM's use as a corrosion preventive was cemented as a result.
- FLUID FILM was also tested by Boeing's Engineering Materials and Process Laboratory and found to be twice as effective as commonly used CPC's for aluminum alloys.
- Boeing-Mesa conducted a study in 1996 to find environmentally friendly corrosion preventive materials for short-term protection.
- In 1994 the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Port Hueneme Division, conducted tests to find a replacement for Class One Ozone Depleting Substances. As a result of the testing conducted by the Naval Aviation Depot in Pensacola, Florida, FLUID FILM was tested against existing MIL-SPECS, MIL-C-16173 and MIL-C-81309.
- The Department of Metallurgy and Materials Engineering at the University of Connecticut conducted AC and DC Electrochemical Studies of FLUID FILM on 2024 Aluminum for a report to be published in a 35 page report in "Corrosion" journal in 1998.
- Purdue University conducted an Aging Aircraft Project sponsored by the Air Force Office of Scientific Research in February of 1996. The Test was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of FLUID FILM for stress corrosion resistance of Aluminum Alloy 2024 - T 351.
- Sunstrand Aerospace wrote specification MS 02.43-01 for FLUID FILM's use as a preservative oil for magnesium, which is now used as a standard throughout the helicopter industry.
- The U.S. Coast Guard wrote an engineering specification GEN 200000.01B for FLUID FILM with the purpose being to improve the corrosion resistance of corrosion prone areas of aircraft.
- Delta Airlines wrote a process standard recommending FLUID FILM as a general purpose maintenance lubricant, stating that FLUID FILM "has excellent penetrating and corrosion preventive characteristics. FLUID FILM differs from other general purpose maintenance lubricants in that the lubricating capability remains for extended periods of time and is not subject to evaporation."
- FLUID FILM has been tested by the U.S. Air Force in accordance with Mil-C-16173-E Grade 2, and was found to exceed all requirements.

US AIR FORCE NONLETHAL CAPABILITY SETS
CLIENT: US Air Force
PROJECT: Phoenix Raven Security Forces Nonlethal Capability Sets
DESTINATION: 51 Locations
SCOPE: 113,802 Items, 39 Containers, 117,000 lbs. of Equipment
HIGHLIGHTS: Integrated to Aircraft Specifications, Includes AARDVARK Patented Products, Configuration Design
The USAF Security Forces RAVEN teams sought to increase their nonlethal capability on both domestic bases as well as overseas transiting airfields facing security threats. To do so, they needed lightweight systems of personnel protective equipment and vehicle stopping devices, and less lethal weapons that could be loaded directly onto their aircraft for easy transport and deployment.
- Provide nonlethal capability domestically and overseas
- Integrate with current USAF aircraft cargo regulations
- Maintain lightweight, easily deployable systems
Together with the USAF, AARDVARK developed Nonlethal Capability Sets consisting of ballistic and non-ballistic riot gear, TASER electric control devices, less lethal munitons, and a variety of other tactical equipment. The NLCS also included caltrops designed and patented by AARDVARK to provide vehicle stopping capability. AARDVARK was able to integrate the equipment into containers that complied with the 463L pallet system utilized by the USAF for aircraft cargo loading. With the ease of transportation, AARDVARK assisted the USAF in fielding 135 sets to 51 locations over the course of 7 years.

On Thursday, 13th February 2014, MEPs from the Industry, Research and Energy Committee (ITRE) of the European Parliament, voted with a large majority in favour of the report on the result of negotiations between the Council and the Commission on setting up a Space surveillance and tracking support programme.
Mazej Kukovič (EPP/SDS), rapporteur for the EPP group, welcomed this decision and pointed out that: ?Without every realising it, we rely on space technology every single day, such as when watching television, using the internet, mobile phones or the GPS. It has become a part of our everyday lives. Amongst other things, they have become crucial in allowing the implementation of EU polices, as well as accelerating technological advances, innovation and competitiveness. Consequently, setting up a system of space surveillance and tracking is urgently required both as concerns the successful functioning of the European economy and the safety of all EU citizens.?
The Space surveillance and tracking support programme ensures long-term progress, which will lead to the setting up of an independent system of tracking space debris, which is an increasing danger to satellites and other space infrastructure. In order to mitigate the risk of collision it is necessary to identify and monitor satellites and space debris. This allows public authorities to warn those involved of a possible collision. However, Europe currently lacks the capability to track debris in space on its own, making us dependent on the United States of America. The information it thus receives is one-sided and non-verified. Consequently and in order to protect its own space infrastructure, as well as ensure safe launches of rockets, Europe must set up an autonomous system of space surveillance.
Mazej Kukovič concluded by saying: ?If we lose a satellite, we also lose critical satellite communication capabilities, which are essential in saving lives in cases of emergency or when fast response is required. It is important for the EU to ensure space surveillance and tracking.?

Being a commercial airline pilot is indeed a rich and rewarding experience. If one has a passion for flying and wishes to make a career out of it, enrolling in a good pilot training school is prudent. It is wise to enroll earlier after high school. You get the chance to pick up the skills of flying faster. You can start your career early and fly to popular destinations across the globe. However, your job as a pilot is much more than flying. You are in charge of the safety of the crew and passengers that fly with you. This is where you need to cultivate people’s skills and be a good team leader.
Alexis Fecteau – Why do you want to become a pilot?
Captain Alexis Fecteau is an esteemed name in the US aviation industry and the Director of Marketing for Boeing Business Jets, a division of Boeing Commercial Airplanes Bases located in Renton, WA. He has valuable experience as a pilot with multiple airlines across the globe under Boeing Commercial Airplane marketing. He is well-versed in the field of flight deck technologies and has extensive expertise in specifications of technical products.
Team management and leadership skills are essential to be a pilot
He says that if you want to make a lucrative career from commercial airlines, you must know the traits of a good pilot. It is up to you to inculcate those traits as fast as possible to kick-start a successful career. He says in an aircraft, there are generally two pilots. The senior pilot is the Captain of the flight and is in command. The second pilot is called the supporting first officer. During a flight, both pilots take turns to fly the aircraft to the destination. This is primarily carried out to prevent fatigue. The other manages the controls of the flight and communicates with the air traffic controls. He also needs to complete the documentation and paperwork of the flight as well.
Long haul flights and leadership skills
It is in commercial long-haul flights where your leadership skills are needed. The reason being there are often more than two pilots. The number of pilots in a single flight can also be four. They take turns to fly the aircraft so that fatigue can be averted. The Captain of the flight has the sole responsibility of everyone, so here you need a high personal commitment.
Stringent tests to pass
If you harbor dreams to become a pilot, make sure you are prepared for a lifetime of tests. These tests are quite stringent, and you will spend most of your time studying for them. Once you pass one test, you will be subject to another recurrent training once every six months. This is required to ensure you are fit for flying. The training helps you to maintain your license for the job. It must be relevant and up to date.
In the pinion of Alexis Fecteau once you are ready for all of the above, you are fit to become a pilot. Over the years, you will rise in seniority and become a captain of a flight. Here, remember, the whole team depends on you, so nurture your leadership skills from the time you start your training as a pilot to get the success you deserve!


Gathering the requisite supplies and performing the required maintenance proved much easier to do here on the lunar base than down on Earth. Between the atmosphere and the escape velocity, trips down there were rarely practical, and therefore rare. Not that this mattered to the crew, none were programed to feel homesickness.
No, they had a far more important mission.
They were going to kill a fucking space whale.

RICK SMITH: Former San Angeloan had front-row seat for shuttle program
Ex-San Angeloan was voice of Mission Control
Former San Angeloan Steve Nesbitt blasted out of West Texas in the summer of 1978 for a rendezvous with the stars. Although, the former Standard-Times reporter and Angelo State University public information officer never traveled into space, he spent 32½ years with NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston helping others make the leap.
"I loved my job, particularly in the 1980s," said Nesbitt, who retired from the space agency in December at age 60. "I got to meet so many interesting people in the NASA world and the media world. It was an exciting time."
The Corpus Christi native's career covered almost the entire era of the shuttle program. By 1980 he was working in the space agency's public affairs office, setting up interviews for reporters, answering questions from the media and writing news releases.
"It was four months before the launch of the first shuttle, and things were getting crazy," he remembered. "We were about to launch this new, very unusual spacecraft," Steve said, and his office was dealing with "hundreds and hundreds of reporters."
He remembers watching that first launch on a projection TV at the space center in Houston.
"I was not a tech guy. My major (at the University of Texas at Austin) was in history. I was looking at the thing on the launchpad wondering how it could ever fly. It was such an odd-looking thing, all strapped together. It did not look very graceful."
But, as the spacecraft launched, his opinion changed.
"It rose very purposefully and just as graceful as you can imagine. I developed a lot of respect for it then."
That flight, on April 12, 1981, sent commander John W. Young and pilot Robert L. Crippen on the shuttle's first orbital trip, a two-day test flight, and Steve was in charge of transcript operation. He directed a staff that recorded each word said between Mission Control and the crew on the spacecraft.
"It was really interesting," he remembered. "We worked 18-hour days, and it was tremendous fun, especially working with all the media that was there."
By the Columbia's second mission, in November 1981, Steve had been promoted to public affairs commentary, "what they used to call the voice of Mission Control," he said. "I would listen and provide color commentary for the media and the public audience — telling what was happening on the spacecraft."
He continued doing commentary in that first set of missions. "Quite an experience," he recalled.
And he was the commentator describing the disastrous launch of Challenger on Jan. 28, 1986.
NASA's "Mission Highlights" website describes the Challenger's last moments in detail, ending with this: "The explosion 73 seconds after liftoff claimed crew and vehicle. The cause of explosion was determined to be an o-ring failure in the right solid rocket booster. Cold weather was determined to be a contributing factor."
Nesbitt remembers it this way: "It felt like somebody dropped a house on me," he said.
"I was doing my normal routine of describing how fast the spacecraft was flying, its altitude, and wasn't able to watch the TV monitor. The Navy flight surgeon was watching the TV off to the left and I heard her say, 'What was that?'
"I looked over at the TV, and all I could see were two solid rocket boosters going off wildly on their own. I knew something was terribly wrong. The whole vehicle had come apart. I was at a loss of words, but I had to say something."
Steve said he knew people around the world, tuned in by TV or radio, were listening to his words. "You're completely aware thousands are listening to what you're saying. Many more will be listening later. You just have to do it, go through it. Using your reporter instincts you gather information best as you can and put it out."
Videos show the Challenger breaking apart. There's a long silence.
Then Steve says: "Flight controllers here are looking very carefully at the situation."
Then his historic line: "Obviously a major malfunction." Bad news continued to pour into his headset: radio contact with the spacecraft was gone; the spacecraft was "in pieces," the vehicle "had exploded."
"I repeated that," Steve said. "Then it was just a matter of gathering information and releasing it on my own authority. There was no time to ask anyone. You just do it."
He remained in the control room for several hours and was the last to leave.
"I went back to my apartment, called my ex-wife and told her I probably shouldn't pick up the kids. I bought ice cream in the mall. Walked around for an hour or two looking at things and went home."
When the shuttle program's next mission took place in 1988, he asked to do the launch commentary "to close the loop for me." After that, he moved up the NASA ladder to management jobs and only did occasional commentary "when they needed someone to stand in." Steve's last time behind the microphone was for a mission in 2001. He was not at Mission Control on Feb. 1, 2003, when Columbia came apart on re-entry, killing its seven-member crew.
"My boss called and said I'd better get in there, that we'd lost another orbiter," he said. "You hate to see that, losing seven good people and a spacecraft worth a couple of billion dollars," he said, pausing. "But flights in space are dangerous and difficult. You don't want those losses to happen, but it's to be expected, to some degree."
With the shuttle program now ending, Nesbitt said it remains to be seen if the United States will continue to fund human space flight or turn the work over to commercial rocketeers.
"I am concerned NASA will shrink in size out of necessity," he said. "I think there's a lot of value in having the government deeply involved, but different people have different ideas. I think a lot of exciting things are about to happen in commercial space flight. They may be able to fly crews and cargo in the very near future."
Though the shuttle program was never able to meet its initial goal of a flight per week, the missions provided a tremendous amount of information and experience, he said. Abandoning the program would mean "wasting all the effort we've put into it this far. You would leave it to future generations to find how to do it again," Steve said.
Some think exploring space may be essential for the ultimate survival of the human species, he said.
"Major extinction events happen every so often. If we don't have a human flight space program and the capability to move onto other planets, the human species may one day die out as the result of a cosmic collision with Earth."
"It's not just about shooting rockets into the sky," he said of the program. "It's a great endeavor that's occupied the talents of many thousands of engineers and scientists over decades. It's an important asset. Too important to stop or cut back."

Many people obtain flight pilot's license through a flight school and are happy to use it to fly as a hobby. Flying can be a relaxing activity and even a fun and effective way to get around. For other pilots, the initial training only serves as a warm-up. These people will constantly be curious about further developing their skills at the control of their airplane, and will seek out training programs that will give them additional ratings as pilots. Often, you can take your additional ratings at the same flight school at which you got your pilot's license. Here are three ratings that you might wish to consider.
Your pilot's license doesn't allow you to fly in the dark, so if you're finding that you want to extend the hours in the day in which you can be in the air, a training program that gives you your night rating will be of interest to you. This program introduces you to the many challenges that come with flying at night, and dramatically expands your ability to enjoy flying your own plane. For example, if you find that you're frequently having to cut your flights short because dusk is drawing near, you'll no longer have to do so.
Multi Engine Rating
Your pilot's license gives you the ability to fly single-engine aircraft, and there are plenty of planes available to rent or buy that fit this description. If you're eager for a new challenge, however, you might want to think about obtaining your multi engine rating. This license allows you to fly planes that have two or more engines — although, in most cases, you'll be flying two-engine planes. The extra power that these aircraft possess comes with its share of challenges, so getting your multi engine rating will make you a more knowledgeable and accomplished pilot.
You might be interested in using your flight training to make some money, rather than viewing flying solely as a hobby. For example, perhaps you like the idea of flying fishers and hunters into remote areas and earning some money for doing so. A commercial rating will allow you to do so. This type of flight training focuses on many elements, including helping you to understand the commerce of being a pilot and how to be profitable running your own flying business. Speak to your local flight school for more information about these enhanced ratings.

Turbo jet engine
A jet engine is a reaction engine that discharges a fast moving jet to generate thrust to propel a jet forward. The result is known as jet propulsion and works in accordance with Newton`s laws of motion. This broad definition of jet engines includes turbojets, turbofans, rockets, ramjets, pulse jets. In general, most jet engines are internal combustion engines but non-combusting forms also exist.
In common parlance, the term jet engine loosely refers to an internal combustion airbreathing jet engine (a duct engine). These typically consist of an engine with a rotary (rotating) air compressor powered by a turbine (“Brayton cycle“), with the leftover power providing thrust via a propelling nozzle. These types of jet engines are primarily used by jet aircraft for long distance travel. Early jet aircraft used turbojet engines which were relatively inefficient for subsonic flight. Modern subsonic jet aircraft usually use high-bypass turbofan engines which give high speeds, as well as (over long distances) fuel efficiency that is about as good as piston and propeller aeroengines.
There are a large number of different types of jet engines, all of which achieve forward thrust from the principle of jet propulsion.
Commonly aircraft are propelled by airbreathing jet engines. Most airbreathing jet engines that are in use are turbofan jet engines which give good efficiency at speeds just below the speed of sound.
Gas turbines are rotary engines that extract energy from a flow of combustion gas. They have an upstream compressor coupled to a downstream turbine with a combustion chamber in-between. In aircraft engines, those three core components are often called the “gas generator.” There are many different variations of gas turbines, but they all use a gas generator system of some type.
A turbojet engine is a gas turbine engine that works by compressing air with an inlet and a compressor (axial, centrifugal, or both), mixing fuel with the compressed air, burning the mixture in the combustor, and then passing the hot, high pressure air through a turbine and a nozzle. The compressor is powered by the turbine, which extracts energy from the expanding gas passing through it. The engine converts internal energy in the fuel to kinetic energy in the exhaust, producing thrust.
The turbojet is the oldest kind of general-purpose airbreathing jet engine. Two engineers, Frank Whittle in the United Kingdom and Hans von Ohain in Germany, developed the concept independently into practical engines during the late 1930s.
Turbojets consist of an air inlet, an air compressor, a combustion chamber, a gas turbine (that drives the air compressor) and a nozzle. The air is compressed into the chamber, heated and expanded by the fuel combustion and then allowed to expand out through the turbine into the nozzle where it is accelerated to high speed to provide propulsion
Turbojets are quite inefficient if flown below about Mach 2 and very noisy. Most modern aircraft use turbofans instead for economic reasons.
Turbojet engines had a significant impact on commercial aviation. Majority of big airlines as British Airways, Virgin Atlantic and also small aconomic like European Ryanair or Asian Air Asia followed industry toward more efficient types. Aside from being faster than piston engines, turbojets had greater reliability, with some models demonstrating dispatch reliability rating in excess of 99.9%. Pre-jet commercial aircraft were designed with as many as 4 engines in part because of concerns over in-flight failures. Overseas flight paths were plotted to keep planes within an hour of a landing field, lengthening flights. Turbojets` reliability allowed for three and two-engine designs, and more direct long-distance flights.
Although ramjet engines are simpler in design as they have virtually no moving parts, they are incapable of operating at low flight speeds.


In May 2023, Texas Woman’s University received a $15 million gift from the Doswell Foundation in order to start an aviation program called the Doswell School of Aeronautical Sciences that will open up in the fall of 2024.
The program was designed to address the shortage of female pilots because the majority of pilots are males. And at the same time, the program aims to give women more representation because they are part of one of the most underrepresented groups.
“Our students will take their flight hours, their ground courses here face to face, we won’t have any online it’s all face to face, and the ultimate outcome will be a commercial license, which is the higher level of license,” Interim Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs and Provost O. Finley Graves said. “Students can get a private license on the way to getting the commercial license.”
Lisa Rampy is the Interim Vice President of University Advancement and Alumni Engagement and is involved with the foundation arm of TWU. In addition to that, she helped with an event that the university hosted in Seattle, Wash., in order to get funding for the aviation program.
“The CEO of the Doswell Foundation attended and that’s how the discussion began,” Rampy said. “They were very instrumental in helping launch the program.”
The funding for the program is one of the largest single donations that the university has ever received. According to Graves, students should join the program because pilots get paid well and the respect that they gain is valuable.
“If you get a collegiate degree you don’t have to have as many flight hours to qualify, and you can be only 21,” Graves said. “You only have to have 1000 hours of flight training to become a commercial pilot. If you have an associate’s degree from a community college, it only takes 250,000 hours and you have to be 23 there. If you don’t have any college experience at all, you have to have 1500 hours. Those are expensive hours and they cost a lot more.”
For TWU’s upcoming aviation program, there will be two career tracks that the program will be offering: professional pilot training and aviation management.
“With a professional pilot [training], one becomes a professional pilot, they are a commercial pilot and the other one, aviation management is an opportunity for someone to be able to manage airports, for example, to manage any kind of entity that’s aviation-related,” Graves said.

NASA in Bahrain For The Youth
A Man behind an initiative to expose youngsters to new ideas says he hopes a series of lectures that took place this week
will inspire Bahrainis to enter the space industry.
Mr. Faisal Abdulla Al Awadhi made the comment during a Press conference to mark the end of lectures by prominent ex-NASA scientis Dr. Abdul Hye.
"This lecture aims to expose Bahrainis to industries which don't exist in Bahrain," he said.

This paper describes the concept of the Global Positioning Systems ( GPS ) and how they improve the Air Cargo industry. In this paper we will discuss
Sometimes, even after satellites rise, their view is obstructed. Sometimes a building or tree will get in the way. That is usually not a good situation. When you perform the Global Mapping Experiment , try to stay away from such obstructions like buildings or trees. You want to maintain good sky visibility so that you can see as many satellites as possible.

This report limits itself to the discussion of the Global Positioning Systems, their structure, operations, and usefulness in different sectors and applications across the globe. This report aims to fulfill the following objectives:
The accuracy of GPS systems depends with the precision of signals that emanate from GPS satellites to GPS receivers. Additionally, the number of obstacles that can obscure your receiver from the GPS systems are critical in the determining the precision and accuracy of information obtained from GPS systems. The types of receivers also play a significant role in the determination of GPS accuracy. Majority of GPS receivers have an accuracy range of +/- 65m. Other accurate forms of GPS receivers include Differential Global Positioning Systems (DGPS). The accuracy of most GPS systems is affected by errors.
In the 6965s, NRL and the Aerospace Corporation independently developed concepts for systems that could provide precise, all-weather, real-time, 79-hour, worldwide navigation information. The NRL concept was proven in 6967 with the launch of its Timation I satellite. In 6978, NRL's program merged with the Air Force program to form the Navstar GPS program.
Powerful rockets are used to send artificial satellites into space. If the launching speed of the rocket is too low the satellite will fall back onto Earth because the gravitational attraction exerted by the Earth on the satellite would be too high for the satellite to overcome. The same happens to a rock thrown by a person from the Earth 696 s surface, if falls back onto the Earth. On the other hand, if the launching speed is too high, the satellite will not be confined by the Earth 696 s gravity and it will escape to outer space. You can imagine that placing a satellite in a particular orbit requires some accurate calculations and careful work.


On January 10, 2014 Richard Branson’s Virgin Galactic conducted it highest test flight yet at 71,000 feet at a top speed of Mach 1.4.
Virgin Galactic’s SpaceShipTwo successfully completed it’s third test flight reaching an altitude of 71,000 feet and a top speed of Mach 1.4 (1.4 times the speed of sound, which is 761 mph). The flight took place over the skies of California’s Mojave Air and Space Port. The flight benchmarked a huge advancement for space travel.
The flight began aloft under it’s carrier plane, WhiteKnightTwo, to an altitude of 46,00 feet. SpaceShipTwo is then dislodged from WhiteKnightTwo. SpaceShipTwo begins it’s journey to 71,000 feet by igniting it’s hybrid rocket engines (20 seconds). The purpose of the test was meant to monitor the thermal coating on the tail of the spacecraft and the ship’s control system. The flight was piloted by Dave Mackay and Mark Stucky.
The experience for a passenger would be a few minutes of weightlessness and views of the Earth that are breathtaking. The spacecraft is designed to carry six passengers and two pilots. It’s estimated that the cost to hop on a flight and head to space will be $250,000 each. Justin Beiber and Katy Perry have already made their reservations to take a hop to space.
“I couldn’t be happier to start the New Year with all the pieces visibly in place for the start of full space flights,” Sir Richard Branson, Virgin Galactic founder.

“The recreational sport of soaring from a slope or a cliff using a modified parachute..”
Paragliding is the recreational and competitive adventure sport of flying paragliders: lightweight, free-flying, foot-launched glider aircraft with no rigid primary structure. The pilot sits in a harness suspended below a fabric wing. Wing shape is maintained by the suspension lines, the pressure of air entering vents in the front of the wing, and the aerodynamic forces of the air flowing over the outside.
Despite not using an engine, paraglider flights can last many hours and cover many hundreds of kilometres, though flights of one to two hours and covering some tens of kilometres are more the norm. By skillful exploitation of sources of lift, the pilot may gain height, often climbing to altitudes of a few thousand metres.

The next time you book a private jet charter with Stratos, ask us about our aviation insurance services and additional options. Airplanes are very heavy, so it may seem strange that they are able to lift off of the ground and fly. Flight is possible because of a balance of four different physical forces, which are lift, drag, weight, and thrust.
Lift and weight balance each other, and thrust and drag have to be present in just the right amounts. Sir Isaac Newton studied math and science, and he discovered three laws of motion that explain a lot about how things move.
Isaac Newton was born on Dec. Newton lived with his grandmother as he was growing up, and he attended Trinity College of the University of Cambridge. As he was attending college, he began studying math and science. He was very interested in math and physics, and he started writing down some of his ideas about motion and gravity. His ideas about math led to the invention of calculus, which made it possible for people to solve complicated math problems.
Newton also studied white light, and he discovered the color spectrum. Newton published a science book in that included his three laws of motion. Newton worked so hard on his science studies that Queen Anne made him a knight in Newton died inwhen he was 84 years old. A force is either a push or a pull. The law also states that a moving object will keep moving in the same direction and at the same speed unless a force changes this.
An easy way to think about this law is to remember that things will keep doing what they are doing unless something causes that to change. This law states that heavier objects need more force to make them move faster or to change the direction they are moving in.
The bigger the force, the more acceleration will happen. The third law of motion states that every action has an equal and opposite reaction. Scientists sometimes call this interaction between forces an action-reaction pair. This means that when you want to slow down or stop a moving object, you have to apply a force to it in the opposite direction that it is moving. The physics of flight requires that lift, drag, weight, and thrust happen at the correct time and in the proper amounts.
For an airplane to go up into the air, the lift has to be stronger than the force of gravity. Lift happens at the wings as air passes over them. Airfoils in the wings make the air move over the tops of the wings faster than it moves across the bottoms of the wings.

This subject keeps coming up in the discussions and questions such as this one, which asks if lift equals weight in level flight. Good answers there, pointing out that upwards force has many sources. Koyovis Why would a glider have water ballast? If it is trying to stay aloft without an engine, wouldn't it be better to be as light as possible? So I was looking at the description of a ASW 27 B glider and ran across this statement: Two water tanks in the wing plus a further 35 liter tank in the fuselage enable the ASW 27 B to carry more Lnafziger What produces thrust along the line of flight in a glider?
After reviewing discussions and vector diagrams of gliders in flight, the vertical lift component and the vertical drag components seem to produce a steady state, 0 acceleration balance with gravity. Robert DiGiovanni 7, 1 1 gold badge 9 9 silver badges 36 36 bronze badges. What is the relation between an airplane's altitude and the drag it is experiencing? What is the actual air speed over and under a wing due to Bernoulli's Principle?
Bernoulli's Principle states that as a fluid speed increases, its pressure decreases, and vice versa. Air flowing over the wing of an aircraft flows faster than its neighboring air flowing under the Erich 3, 1 1 gold badge 20 20 silver badges 51 51 bronze badges. Do any airplane designs exist that don't involve a flight surface that provides downforce?
Most aircraft maintain longitudinal stability by balancing three forces: The down force acting through the center of gravity CG The lifting force acting through the center of lift The down force Descending on a given glide slope e.
ILS at a given airspeed— is the size of the lift vector different in headwind versus tailwind? We had a discussion with friend and we were talking about if the airplane is on approach and the one is landing with tailwind and the other one is landing with headwind, so both have the same value of Is excess lift or excess power needed for a climb?
As answered in this question, aircraft need excess power - not excess lift - to climb. This is plausible when the aircraft's thrust vector has a vertical component its nose and engine points upwardsChris 1 1 gold badge 8 8 silver badges 9 9 bronze badges.Author by : E. Modern aviation has been made possible as a result of much scienti c - search. However, the very rst useful results of this research became ava- able a considerable length of time after the aviation pioneers had made their rst ights.
Apparently, researchers were not able to nd an adequate exp- nation for the occurrence of lift until the beginning of the 21st century.
Also, for the fundamentals of stability and control, there was no theory available that the pioneers could rely on. Only after the rst motorized ights had been successfully made did researchers become more interested in the science of aviation, which from then on began to take shape.
In modern day life, many millions of passengers are transported every year by air. People in the western societies take to the skies, on average, several times a year.
Especially in areas surrounding busy airports, travel by plane has been on the rise since the end of the Second World War. Despite becoming familiar with the sight of a jumbo jet commencing its ight once or twice a day, many nd it astonishing that such a colossus with a mass of several hundred thousands of kilograms can actually lift off from the ground.

Sir Isaac Newton and the Physics of Flight
Not a review, it's the only physics book geared for aviation training that uses every day examples to explain every facet of the subject. Author by : David W. This practical guide is the most intuitive introduction to basic flight mechanics available. Understanding Flight, Second Edition, explains the principles of aeronautics in terms, descriptions, and illustrations that make sense--without complicated mathematics. Updated to include helicopter flight fundamentals and aircraft structures, this aviation classic is required reading for new pilots, students, engineers, and anyone fascinated with flight.
Understanding Flight, Second Edition, covers: Physics of flight Wing design and configuration Stability and control Propulsion High-speed flight Performance and safety Aerodynamic testing Helicopters and autogyros Aircraft structures and materials. Author by : Charles E. From the basics of forces and vectors to craft-specific applications, this book explains the mechanics behind the pilot's everyday operational tasks. The discussion focuses on the concepts themselves, using only enough algebra and trigonometry to illustrate key concepts without getting bogged down in complex calculations, and then delves into the specific applications for jets, propeller crafts, and helicopters.
FAA-aligned questions and regulatory references help reinforce important concepts, and additional worked problems provide clarification on complex topics. Modern flight control systems are becoming more complex and more varied between aircrafts, making it essential for pilots to understand the aerodynamics of flight before they ever step into a cockpit.
This book provides clear explanations and flight-specific examples of the physics every pilot must know. Review the basic physics of flight Understand the applications to specific types of aircraft Learn why takeoff and landing entail special considerations Examine the force concepts behind stability and control As a pilot, your job is to balance the effects of design, weight, load factors, and gravity during flight maneuvers, stalls, high- or low-speed flight, takeoff and landing, and more.
As aircraft grow more complex and the controls become more involved, an intuitive grasp of the physics of flight is your most valuable tool for operational safety. Flight Theory and Aerodynamics is the essential resource every pilot needs for a clear understanding of the forces they control. Author by : United States Naval Academy.
Are those bumps and noises normal? Why are some take-offs delayed?Mini Physics. The following article is about the physics behind the flight of airplanes. There are no equations in this articles. Source: Yahoo Associated Content. It was faith in physics that reassured the engineers and bankers that such a massive undertaking was worth the risk. Physics describes four basic elements involved with flying an airplane.
Flight involves a constant tug of war between lift vs. The physics describing lift was established hundreds of years before such a machine would fly. Sir Isaac Newton and Mr. Bernoulli unknowingly played key roles in aviation.
Simply put, a gas will accelerate if it is forced to pass through a constriction. There must be a drop in pressure associated with this acceleration. Early aviation designers understood and applied this relationship to the wings of aircraft. Airflow travelling above a curved wing will accelerate and travel faster than the airflow beneath the wing.
The lower pressure zone created above the wing, coupled with pressure beneath the wing, provides lift. According to my FAA Handbook, the air pressure pushing the wing upwards from beneath exceeds the vacuum force lifting the top surface. Sir Isaac Newton stated that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Application of this law is even more important to flight. In aviation the force involved is the movement of air against the wings and control surfaces.
You will notice that many aircraft have the wing mounted at a slightly upturned angle. This built in angle ensures air is constantly pushed down by the wing. As always, there can be too much of a good thing. The physics that caused the aircraft to fly no longer applies if the wing stalls completely.
Airplanes are controlled by the elevator, rudder and ailerons.Mini Physics. The following article is about the physics behind the flight of airplanes. There are no equations in this articles.

This built in angle ensures air is constantly pushed down by the wing. As always, there can be too much of a good thing. The physics that caused the aircraft to fly no longer applies if the wing stalls completely. Airplanes are controlled by the elevator, rudder and ailerons. The angle of attack Newton and the change in pressure Bernoulli both act to direct the aircraft in the desired direction. Various types of flaps are used to increase lift for landings and takeoffs.
These force more air downward and increase the pressure difference on the wing. Physics describes the performance of propellers and helicopter rotors in precisely the same manner. The force of gravity on the Earth is measured to be 9. An aircraft must overcome this force to get airborne. To be of any use it must also lift passengers, fuel and cargo.Turbulence: one of the great unsolved mysteries of physics - Tomás Chor
Weight reduction has always been paramount in aviation and will remain so unless anti-gravity technology is developed. Boeing is seriously exploring the possibility of using spinning super conductors to reduce the effects of gravity on aircraft. The physics of lift is quite useless without thrust. The development of jet engines allowed enormous increases in weight and speed.
Jet engines gas turbines can deliver tens of thousands of pounds of thrust but have voracious appetites for fuel. A wise combination of gas turbine and conventional propeller delivers large thrust in a more economical albeit noisy manner.

Paragliders take off running start down the hair slope of a hill or mountain high. The wing is lifted up and filled the air. Formless pile nylon gets an aerodynamic shape that such a flight to even stay in the air, the wing must operate buoyancy, and it must move through air or sea air 'strujiti' around him. In aerodynamics it is entirely irrelevant. The flying wing was needed in moving the lower resistance and a greater buoyancy, enabling their aerodynamic shape. In the laminar flow of air particles struck the barrier (the so-called. deadlocked) disagree with each other, but meet again by passing obstacles. This means that the upper side wing airflow for a longer time must be faster than the flow from below.
Thus a difference in pressure between the upper and lower wing surface and begins to operate lift. based on this principle, all the wings that fly through the air, the bird to the jumbo-jet wings. The exceptions are the wings of insects wings waving high speed and jet fighter planes flying on the principle of strong turbine thrust. paragliders are managed as well as other aircraft (excluding helicopters used by special mechanics of movement through the air). Two commands that control the hands of the pilot pulled the last leaf edges or surfaces on the rear wing. If it is withdrawn only one side, there is increasing resistance and the party becomes slower, and the other is paramount. pulling on the strength of the command depends on the speed and turning radius bends. In parallel with withdrawal of command switches, and pilot weight in the system and link it to the side which wants to turn to perform.
Braking is achieved both commands to reduce the speed of the wings to the ground, but only to a certain limit, after which the wing stops and is coated in flight, when suddenly increases at the expense of horizontal vertical velocity. Such conditions are undesirable and should be avoided. Marginal rate of coated flight or so. Stalling in airline terminology, is about 20 km / h. The wing is a separate system can further accelerate and speed up the basic 36-40 km / h to 60 km / h, almost as fast as some high powered import vehicles. Here we come to the important characteristics of each wing for free flight, ie the ratio of horizontal and vertical velocity wings. In other words, finesse is the ratio of horizontal and vertical times that aircraft can be accomplished in calm air. This ratio in the modern wing ranges from 7:1 for recreational to nearly 10:1 in racing. This would mean that the wing with the initial height of 100 meters can fly in 700-1000 meters in distance.
For comparison, the subtleties of dragons go to 15:1, 20:1 and beetles, and sailboats up to 70:1. As in any aeronautical activity, and paraglide there are dangers. very flexible structures they must have good equipment, with some advantages (low weight and size, less preparation prior to takeoff) has shortcomings! They are mostly related to the possible collapse of the wing due to the pressure drop in the womb. This happens with adverse air flows and / or mishandling, or improper pilot reaction at some point. atmosphere never idle. The air that moves a spacecraft sometimes unpredictable - the arrival of atmospheric fronts (sudden changes in weather conditions), but also for the simple reason, such as warm air into the atmosphere during the day. On sunny days the sun's rays heat the earth's surface and ground heat that the air delivery over. At a certain point and under certain conditions come to the rising bubbles of warm air in the upper layers of the atmosphere, and when this process takes a constant stream, there was a so-called. vertical thermal flow or 'pillars'. This natural phenomenon used by birds since its foundation - sailing in the warm air flows upward to be maintained longer in the air.
The same phenomenon for the same reason and using all available aircraft. required for such flight experience and inexperienced flyers, and even those more experienced, the condition of air in the atmosphere can cause certain problems. The flexible construction and pressure drop in it may be partially or completely shut down (blow) wings. These situations are anticipated and subject to the pilots during the training are prepared and accustomed. Every situation can be resolved in a few seconds, and those in the most difficult 15-odd seconds. Do not help the pilot's correct reaction, in extreme cases, the reserve parachute opens. experience, not only in Croatia but also the world, saying that opening the reserve parachute is rare, and most of these cases applies to riders who fly very delicate wings. Proper training, proper procedures and full concentration during flight pilots to avoid any dangerous situations and fly with safety to my great satisfaction.

Kinner 5 – Radial Airplane Engine
I believe this engine was never flown. During the war it was donated to a training school for teaching. In fact what you see is the original factory paint. It comes with the wooden prop standing rack and steerable dolly. We have had this engine in our collection and on display for at least 20 years. This is the first time we are offering it for sale.
The Kinner 5-cylinder radial engine was the work of Bert Kinner in his Los Angeles design office in the 1920s. Kinner initially designed aircraft, but lacking a suitable engine constructed a lightweight reliable engine. The aircraft are now mostly forgotten, but his name is still associated with a successful line of radial aircraft engines. Amelia Earhart flew early models of Kinner aircraft and later became a sales representative for Kinner.
The Kinner B-5 was a popular engine for light general and sport aircraft. The B-5 was a development of the earlier K-5 with slightly greater cylinder bore and a corresponding increase in power. The B-5 was a rough running but reliable engine and the B-5 and its derivatives were produced in the thousands powering many World War II trainer aircraft…. $8500

For We are Explorers...
Everyone who knows me must be aware of my unconditional love for all things space-related. So it should come as no surprise that my eyes are focused on the Kennedy Space Center in Florida today. STS-114 is scheduled for liftoff at 3:51 PM EST today. NASA is calling this launch "Return to Flight", and while that is a fitting title it doesn't seem to do this moment justice.
When Columbia was destroyed during reentry two years ago, I was driving to rehearsal for "Love! Valour! Compassion!". I listened in horror as the news came over the radio, and was depressed for the rest of the day. After I returned home, I sat in front of the TV, saddened by the pictures of the wreckage that was strewn over Texas and Louisiana. Sweetie didn't understand why I was so affected. Yes, I was mourning the loss of the crew. But I was more afraid that this accident might spell the end of manned spaceflight.
The Shuttle program is a victim of its own success. The goal was to make space travel as common and everyday as any other form of transportation. And NASA succeeded, to a point. Shuttles were seemingly going up all the time (only one network provided live coverage of the Challenger launch in 1986), but the crews were still made up of military pilots and space scientists. There was little thought given to including the public in the exploration of space. So the public stopped caring about the shuttle program and manned space flight.
More and more grumblings were heard from politicians about cutting NASA's budget. The agency responded by building cheaper unmanned probes, with varying degrees of success. And then Spaceship One won the X Prize. In the Fall of 2004, Spaceship One was launched into low-earth orbit twice in a two-week timeframe, proving that private space travel is a practical matter. There are plans afoot to start taking tourists into space within the next ten years. Now the public's imagination and yearning for space travel has been rekindled. Thus the interest in today's shuttle mission.
Once upon a time, I would take the opportunity to go into space no questions asked. Now that I am married and looking forward to having children of my own, that desire has been diminished. But I still look heavenward with fascination, wonder, and envy for those who break the confines of Earth and move through the gulf of space. For we are all explorers, and we should never cease exploring.
God speed, Discovery!
UPDATE -- 2:00 PM EST
Well the launch was scrubbed for today. I'm bummed, but exploration always suffers setbacks.


The Chilean airline LAN has made the largest order of aircraft to a company of Latin America has acquired from Airbus, with the purchase of 50 A320 aircraft, thus bringing the number of aircraft requested to the European manufacturer to 150 devices. The price of each A320 aircraft acquired by LAN, which already operates 60 aircraft from the European manufacturer, varies between the 62.5 million dollars and 95.5 million. Currently, since Spain is possible to book trips to international destinations as popular as Buenos Aires flights or the flights to New York, although the airline covers practically the journeys of large countries in Latin America such as Argentina, Peru, Ecuador and Chile with LAN. Although these 50 aircraft had been ordered by LAN in the month of July, during the celebration of the International Salon of Fanborough, in the United Kingdom, the purchase was not effective until the present day. With the acquisition of these new aircraft, LAN will cover its expansion of flights and routes in Latin America, inaugurating new routes or by replacing its current fleet of aircraft equipment. Furthermore, LAN will equip their aircraft with a few known devices with Sharklets which name placed at the ends of the wings of the appliances, they contribute to the optimization of the performance and efficiency of the aircraft.


SALT AIR AVIATION NOOSA - Helicopter Tour Company - New Members
Hello and welcome to the home of Salt Air Aviation, Noosa’s only “locally based” helicopter company.
We are locals who absolutely love where we live and believe the only way to truly see the natural beauty of our landscape is from the air. Salt Air was born from our passion for the beach, surf, ocean, wildlife, nature, exploring, travel, and love for the sky. Collectively we have been in the air for the past 12 years and our passion and vision for the aviation industry and absolute admiration of where we live is what led us to start this business.
Creating a company that shows integrity, respect and professionalism in every aspect of business is our genuine goal and we hope to inspire the next generation as we move into the new age.
A little about the owners:
Morgan’s love of helicopters started early when he received a joy flight for his 13th birthday. From there he set his sights on making aviation his career, and by the age of 16, became (unofficially) Australia’s youngest pilot to go solo. Morgan has spent most of his flying career in the Northern Territory, gathering up the skill and knowledge he needed to create his own operation here on the Sunshine Coast. Morgan also writes, maintains and teaches aviation theory for Pilot Practice Exams.
By sheer coincidence Bel (also from the Sunshine Coast) was also running an operation in the Northern Territory, out of the stunning Litchfield National Park.
Bel’s love of aviation sparked from a passion for adventure. Travelling the world, Bel gained skills through different jobs (including being a fire fighter) before deciding to call aviation home. Flying around Australia on a helicopter safari is what pushed her to gain her commercial helicopter licence. Most of Bel’s flying career has also been in the Northern Territory.
Combined we are highly experienced tourism operators, working to build a reputable brand layered with local business partnerships, coastal and hinterland landscapes, surf culture and adventure.
We want our customers to have the most valuable experience possible. Together we strive to make this a possibility.
