In order to get started with space discovery, it is important to understand when it all started. The 1960s was a very special decade during which many things were at stake. Through this lesson, you will understand what were the issues, solutions and challenges of the years that would shape our future.Open the lessonFinal testFinal test 1/3 temps
The late 1950s and early 1960s saw the first steps of space exploration. It was also a reminder that both the USA and the USSR were fighting each other during the Cold War. This lesson deals with the first milestones of space discovery as well as the political context in which they were achieved.Open the lessonFinal testFinal test 1/3 temps
The 1960s saw the fierce competition between the USA and the USSR to reach the moon. Both nations committed themselves to land first on the moon because this achievement would represent the ultimate accomplishment in space. The winner would take it all!Available soonFinal testFinal test 1/3 temps
With the end of the former moon race, space discovery had evolved at a different pace and shifted to a more scientific driven effort. Nevertheless, newcomers in the space industry are about to launch a brand new space race with much broader goals such as saving humans from exctinction.


I’m here at Oshkosh, Wisconsin, enjoying the world’s largest general aviation extravaganza. The smell of jet A and 100 LL (low-lead) in the morning air, the gentle roar of piston and turbine, and the sight of man-made objects defying gravity is something I’ll never get tired of.
For many people, everything associated with aviation is scary, almost unholy. Money spent for aviation is unnecessary.
What these people don’t fully realize is that it is only by pushing the envelope of human experience do we learn new technologies that can help everyone. For instance, seat-belts and anti-lock brakes are two easy examples of aviation innovations that the rest of us use every day.
Here’s another innovation that we might appreciate years from now. A group of aviation enthusiasts at Purdue is working with quadriplegics, paraplegics, and others who have been disabled in order to teach them to fly. And so far, they have fledged 40 people into the skies.
Why is the work of Able Flight and the Purdue Aviation Technology Department important? Because it pushes our knowledge and technology to the limits. It does the seemingly impossible and makes it possible. And in so doing, they may learn something that can help others, or perhaps even you and me.
So, the next time you see a child playing with a model airplane, or a youngster taking their first flight, encourage them. After all, they might help the rest of us in unexpected ways. Now excuse me, I’ve gotta fly!

Under Air Force General Order No. 78, dated 29 May 1943, the 465th Bombardment Group (H) was activated on 1 August 1943 at the Army Air Base, Alamogordo, New Mexico. It consisted of Headquarters and four Squadrons: the 780th, 781st, 782nd, and 783rd.
This is the history of the 783rd Bombardment Squadron which begins in August 1943, when Capt. Burton C. Andrus, Jr. was assigned to the 783rd Bombardment Squadron (H) as its Commanding Officer.
Many of the flight crews were formed in late August and September, 1943. Some of the Squadrons of the 465th Bomb Group were sent to Kearns, Utah, for basic flight crew training. Most of the 783rd remained at Tucson for this training. During September and October the crews were busy completing the basic flight training (as a crew) and becoming more familiar with the B24 airplane. During this phase of training, most of the airplanes were B24D's. The planes were not in very good mechanical condition because of the heavy flight schedule each day plus the many hours they had flown.
Under Special Order No. 4, dated 4 October 1943, the 465th Bombardment Group (H) was ordered to the Army Air Base, McCook, Nebraska, to begin its three phases of combat training. Five of the 783rd combat crews, assigned to the 39th Bomb Group (H), Tucson, Arizona, were transferred from Tucson to McCook under Special Order Number 39, dated 12 October 1943, with instructions to report no later than 27 October. Six other combat crews were transferred to McCook under Special Order Number 334 dated 30 November 1943.
The 465th Heavy Bombardment Group arrived at the base on October 7 and the training of this group was rigidly governed by War Department requirements, the 2nd Air Force, and 16th Bombardment Operational Training Wing policies. Training of the ground echelon proceeded in a normal and satisfactory manner. Initial lack of ground firing ranges impeded progress but the qualifications of the personnel met the minimum requirements of the War Department. The group maintained the best bombing score of any group in the 2nd Air Force.
Much of October was devoted to ground school training and basic flight training, such as shooting landings and some night flying. About the middle of November, the Group Commander, Col. Rogers, acquired on loan a few B24J aircraft to aid in this phase of training. These airplanes were later returned to the Army Air Base, Lincoln, Nebraska. During November, the pilots received comprehensive instrument and night flight training. This heavy flight schedule kept the maintenance personnel busy both day and night. They put in long hours keeping the planes in the air. First-phase ground school training was completed on 30 November 1943.
There were eighteen combat crews assigned to the Squadron by the first of December. Lt Russell's crew was later redistributed to provide the replacements for the losses in the remaining seventeen crews which were to go overseas.
The weather at McCook was bad for flying during December. Some of the crews were sent to Tucson on TDY so they could get more flying time. First-phase flying training was completed on 5 December 1943. Second-phase flying training was impeded by cold weather and difficulty in obtaining parts and supplies to keep the planes in the air.
During January, 1944, training activity was maintained at a high level. Inspections were numerous. High-altitude formation flying was featured and the POM inspection flight demonstrated that the Squadron and Group were ready for actual combat duty. All equipment was crated, packed, and labeled for overseas shipment, and with completion of final phase training, the Squadron was near the end of its stay at McCook.
FROM THE McCOOK DAILY GAZETTE
Said Claude A. Addams of the McCook City Council, "When the cities near army camps heard that we were going to have a base here, they wrote in and warned us to increase our police force. We decided to wait and see what would happen. We have not added one policeman to our force."
On 5 February 1944, the ground echelon and two combat crews, plus other flight crew members who were replaced by key Squadron personnel on the airplanes, boarded a train at McCook, Nebraska their destination the staging area at Topeka, Kansas. They arrived there on 6 February 1944 and stayed a few days during which time they completed final processing, physical examinations, and clothing and equipment checks.
The Squadron was given orders for shipment to Camp Patrick Henry, Virginia. After a short stay they were then sent to the Port of Embarkation, Newport News, Virginia, for the trip across the Atlantic Ocean. The 783rd personnel, except the fifteen flight crews, were assigned to Liberty ship "Walter Ranger" for the trip to Oran, Algeria. The Walter Ranger departed from Newport News on 15 February 1944, joining the convoy of some eighty odd vessels for final departure the following day. It took twenty-two days to zigzag across to Oran. The journey overseas was not entirely uneventful, one vessel was torpedoed near Bizerte, Tunisia, and another struck a mine in the same area. The torpedoed ship sank shortly after being struck, but the other was able to make port.
After a lengthy stay in Oran, sleeping in tents near the edge of the desert, the 783rd personnel boarded the "SS Lyons" for the trip to Naples, Italy. After a long delay at Naples they were loaded in old railroad cattle cars for the trip to Pantanella, Italy, where the Group Airfield was located. There was neither food nor water on the train for the men. However, the train stopped about every twenty or thirty minutes along the way. The stops brought out the Yankee ingenuity in the men. At one stop near a U.S. Army Depot some of the men created a diversion for the Army guards while others made a raid on the canned food stored. At other stops the troops scrounged any food or water they could find. There were approximately 350 men crammed in the cattle cars for the two day trip to Pantanella where they arrived in late April 1944. The first job for these men was to set up all the tents, messhall, and burn the hay out of the flight briefing room which was located in an old barn. They also helped to lay the steel matting that formed the runway and parking ramps for the B24s.
THE FLYING ECHELON
The flying echelon (less the two crews that had accompanied the ground echelon) left the air base at McCook on 5 February 1944 for the staging area, at Lincoln, Nebraska. There the crews were processed, clothing checked, and new equipment issued. The planes were given hundred-hour inspections and some had minor modifications made. The crews left Lincoln on 13 February 1944 for Morrison Field, West Palm Beach, Florida. The crews spent two or three days at Morrison. They spent this time getting last-minute lectures, doing some processing, and making wills and allotments or last-minute changes in the many papers filled out prior to overseas departure. Also final checks were made on the airplanes and clothing, mainly flying gear. The crews were given briefings for the next legs of the trip to Trinidad and then Belem, Fortaleza, and Natal, Brazil. The navigators were issued a complete set of maps for the trip to Brazil. Each of the crews filed a flight plan for Waller Field, Trinidad, which was the first stop. The crews left Morrison Field for Waller Field on 16 February 1944. Takeoff time started at about 0330 hours local time, which gave the navigators a couple of hours for celestial work in preparation for the long flight over the Atlantic. Some crews made a stop at San Juan, Puerto Rico, to get additional fuel and a few cases of Puerto Rican rum. The crews spent one night at Waller Field.
The next stop on the trip was Belem, Brazil. The crews started the takeoffs from Waller Field on the morning of 17 February 1944 and arrived at Belem in the afternoon after flying over jungle and some expanse of water along the coastline. The field at Belem was used extensively and the sleeping quarters were comfortable. On 18 February 1944, the crews left Belem for Fortaleza and Natal, Brazil, a flight that was also primarily over water and jungle.
After the crews had rested overnight, they began the flight across the Atlantic to Dakar, Africa and all made the ocean crossing without any trouble. After an overnight stay in Dakar, the crews filed their flight plans for Marrakech, Morocco. On this flight some of the planes were forced to land at Tindouf, Algeria, because of the weather. This was an emergency landing field on the edge of the Sahara Desert with no overnight accommodations. Some of the crews had to spend several days and nights there sleeping in the planes. The wind blew all of the time and the nights were cold. The crews were glad when the weather cleared so they could continue the flight to Marrakech. After a short stay in Marrakech, they continued to Oudna Air Base, North Africa. The stay at Oudna was to last for some two months while waiting for the completion of the base at Pantanella, Italy.
On 11 March, the 465th participated with another group in a practice mission. Lts. Murphy and Melody, from another squadron, with a total of seventeen men aboard collided and burned in midair.
On 20 March 1944, Maj. Andrus went to Italy to check on the progress of construction at Pantanella. The squadron continued to fly practice missions and drop practice bombs. Maj. Andrus returned from Pantanella on 26 March and reported the living conditions would be better there than at Oudna. By 29 March 1944, there were three groups at Oudna: the 464th, 465th, and 485th.
On 30 March 1944, Maj. Andrus assigned a few men to design a squadron insignia. Frank Kara was on this committee and he designed the Squadron Escutcheon.
On 12 April 1944, the 464th and 465th flew a two-group practice mission. The 464th Group lost a plane in the formation; it disintegrated in midair.
On 20 April 1944, the 783rd Squadron left Oudna for Pantanella.
The first combat mission was flown on May 5, 1944. The target was a German Army Headquarters at Podgorica, Yugoslavia. Ground reports showed 500 Germans were killed during this raid. The mission proved so successful Gen. Twining, Commander, 15th Air Force, issued these words of commendation: "It was the finest freshman mission ever flown in the 15th Air Force."
Beginning in July of 1944, replacement flight crews began arriving at Pantenella. Some flew over from the states bringing new aircraft while others came across the Atlantic in a variety of vessels and finished the trip by truck. During this time some 37 new crews were to join the Squadron to finish off the work begun by the original 17 crews.
The last combat mission (# 191) on April 26, 1945, was “ineffective”. The plan was to bomb a bridge in Austria and an ammunition dump in Italy. Due to heavy cloud cover the planes returned to Pantanella with their bombs.
The 465th Bombardment Group (H), which included the 783rd Bombardment Squadron (H), was inactivated effective 31 July 1945.
Planes lost as a result of combat operations 31
Killed in Action 82
POWs Approximately 180
The above material was gleaned from the book, History of 783rd Bomb Squadron (H), 465 Bombardment Group (H) published in 1989 by Floyd E. Gregory, Squadron Historian.


Korea's Aero-technology has been spotlighted skyrocketedly.
Kim Eun Gi, head of Korea's Air Force, will pitch the country's supersonic trainer jet in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) on Sunday, November 11,showing up 'Dynamic Korea Spirit' Air Force officials said.
According to the officials, Kim will participate in the "Dubai Airshow 2007" and publicize the superiority of Korea's T-50 Golden Eagle"
Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI), the state-run manufacturer of the T-50, said its jet has many advantages over its rivals, including the ability to reach Mach 1.4, a fly-by-wire control interface, and the ability to be used as a potent light attack aircraft.
Meanwhile, the UAE is expected to announce its decision by the end of the year.

The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) on Tuesday issued specific measures for aviation sector players to mitigate the risk of runway incursions at Indian airports.
The measures include activating stop bars by Air Traffic Controllers (ATC) to inform aircraft when not to proceed, establishing contingency plans in case stop bars malfunction, establishing runway safety teams at airports, and conducting comprehensive training programs for pilots, ATC personnel, aircraft maintenance engineers, and airport drivers.
The DGCA issued a circular in view of the January 2 accident at Haneda Airport in Tokyo when a Japan Coast Guard's DHC-8 aircraft intruded onto the runway, resulting in a collision with a Japan Airlines A350 aircraft. Five out of the six crew members aboard the DHC-8 lost their lives in the collision, with only the captain surviving. All occupants aboard the A350 survived the collision.
When an aircraft, person, or vehicle is in the wrong area of the runway, it can lead to an accident with another aircraft that is either taking off or landing. Such incidents are called “runway incursions”. According to DGCA data, the number of runway incursions in India in 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022 were 40, 25, 15, 35, and 45, respectively.
In a statement, the regulator said that the aviation sector players – airports, airlines, and others -- must adopt technological interventions to improve situational awareness, thereby assisting ATC and other stakeholders to identify traffic in the area where the aircraft is maneuvering.
The stakeholders have also been asked to "recognise the influence of human factors on performance", which may lead to runway incursions. The DGCA has also asked each airport to establish a runway safety team and ensure that it is functioning effectively.
"ATC should ensure that stop bars are switched on to signal a stop and switched off to indicate traffic may proceed. In no case, aircraft or vehicles be instructed to cross illuminated red stop bars. Aerodrome, ATC and airlines should implement contingency measures to cater to unserviceable stop bars," said the DGCA.
Drivers of vehicles using the tarmac, aircraft maintenance engineers, ATC and pilots should have "comprehensive" training to avoid runway incursions.
"By adhering to the actions specified in this circular and maintaining a proactive approach among all stakeholders, the risk of runway incursions may be reduced further," it said.


Hear me out, could I use a hot air balloon to fly over Chernobyl? I don't want to get too close of course, but maybe fly a high enough above it. Would something like that be possible? Or would I get into serious trouble if I tried?
I'd probably advise against doing something like that. It seems you can fly over Chernobyl, as the radiation isn't going up into the air, but, I doubt you can fly too low either. And with a hot air balloon, I'm not sure they would even allow one in the area. Would be kind of cool to see from that angle though.
I imagine not. I don't know how high the radiation reaches currently, it could be very low due to the dome that's currently surrounding the area. But still, it may be safe, but it may also be illegal to fly close to the area. In planes sure, but not in a hot air balloon.
I don't see why it would be a good idea. Considering you're lower down in a hot air balloon, you risk possibly being arrested or charged with trespassing. The dome should protect you above, but what happens if your hot air balloon crashed into the area? No thanks!
I imagine it could work, but I don't know why you'd want to go over in a hot air balloon. Yeah you can maybe fly over it, but I doubt you can continue to keep flying over it for long. I don't know what kind of security is around Chernobyl, but I suspect they have some who would stop this pretty fast.
I'm not really sure why you would want to, but to each their own. It's not very practical is it? I think flying over in a helicopter would be a lot more practical, and you can hover over the area to get more of a view. But still, I can't imagine it being fun to see the top of Chernobyl. But, that's just me.

A California based company asked us if we could produce port and JIC fittings with M14 threads for their new drone delivery system. We said YES!
Non Standard Metric Threads are No Problem
The customer's application required us to design custom adapters for their new prototype delivery drone's fuel system. Due to the large size of the payload this drone is to transport, the drone is powered by a jet fuel engine. The port sizes for the fuel system range in size from M10X1.0, M12X1.0. M14X1.0 to M16X1.0. Additionally, there are metric flare connections that are 37 degree with M14X1.0 threads as well as standard AN sizes.
We were able to take the customer's hand sketches of concept fittings, and translate them into viable adapters we could machine out of 7075 aluminum. Harness wire holes needed to drilled into the hex, and the construction of non brazed aluminum tee fittings engineered. The results were beautiful right down to the blue anodized finish. Hose assemblies made from stainless R14 hose were fabricated using custom turned stems we designed to work with the M14 JIC connections, as well as -4 and -6 AN connections.
HFI produced extra parts hoping that this design will take off (no pun intended) and we can fulfill future requirements for these unique metric aerospace adapters.


Adobe Associates, Inc. recently acquired two drone aircraft, the INSPIRE 1 and PHANTOM III. Our pilots, Jeff Jaggars and Dan Langley are eager to utilize this new technology on a host of projects throughout Sonoma, Napa, and Lake County. Whether it is evaluating the location of fence lines, calculating vineyard acreage, or drafting site maps, aerial imagery captured with drones has proven to be an effective tool to capture orthorectified photography of a project site.
While the use of unmanned drone aircraft is a new advancement in aerial imagery, mapping with aerial photography has been a trusted tool for surveyors for decades, and drones and post processing software have only made this practice more accessible. As with traditional manned aerial mapping the first step in a successful survey is choosing the right site to apply drone technology. To capture accurate data, and fly within the confines of the law, sites must be largely free of overhead obstructions, permission of property owners impacted by flight must be obtained, drones must be flown within a ceiling of 400′ above the point of take off, and drone use within 1 to 5 miles of an airport is heavily restricted. Thankfully, Sonoma, Napa and Lake County, have plenty of large rural properties that lend themselves well the use of drones.
The land surveyor will select a flight area, calibrate the drone, and deploy the drone, to automatically pilot the chosen area. Great care must be taken to choose a flight plan and flight elevation that is not impacted by on site obstructions such as trees, poles or overhead wires, and a safe takeoff and landing location chosen in addition to emergency landing sites identified.
To effectively utilize aerial imagery, surveyors must first establish flight crosses. These crosses will vary in size depending on the height the drone is flown, these crosses only need to be clearly identified in the resulting aerial images. With maximum flight times between 15 to 17 minutes per flight, it is possible for surveyors to capture imagery across a 40 acre site in one flight.

Impact of Space Weather on Earth
COSPAR Capacity Building Workshop
August 15 – 26, 2016, Paratunka, Kamchatka (Russia)
The workshop will introduce the students to system-wide investigation of space weather phenomena, bringing together different ground based and space based observation for coordinated analysis. This will include studies of magnetic, ionospheric and radiation disturbances.
Institute of Cosmophysical Research and Radio Wave Propagation of the Far Eastern Branch of Russian Academy of Science (IKIR FEB RAS) will present the methods for system analysis, GPS and low-orbit radiotomography of the ionosphere, radiosounding of the magnetosphere, lidar sounding of the ionosphere. In 2015-2016, the SuperDARN radar network is planned to be extended to the Far East of Russia. The participants will learn about the first results of these observations.
The subjects to be addressed within this workshop are consistent with the aims of the SCOSTEP VarSITI Programme (2014-2018) which encourages international collaboration in data analysis, modeling and theory in order to understand how solar variability affects the Earth.
The aims of the planned international Capacity Building Workshop (CBW) are to make the IKIR data bases available for young specialists carrying out their studies, to teach them the methods of system analysis and to broadly acquaint them with the topical issue of Space Weather and associated scientific challenges.
The International Heliophysical Year 2007 facilitated the development of ground observation systems and the coordinated investigation of space weather impacts on the Earth. As a result of international cooperation within the MAGDAS and INTERMAGNET Programmes, observation system complexes were created in the Far East during that time. Analysis of data produced by these observation systems will form a key element of the programme of study proposed.
In addition, methods for system analysis of observation data of magnetic, ionospheric and cosmic rays have been developed at IKIR, which may prove valuable insight into the investigation of the impacts of Space Weather at Earth. The students will be trained in application of these methods, providing also an appreciation of the benefits brought to space weather studies through combination of complementary measurement types.
Data obtained by the Institute observation systems (magnetic, ionospheric, cosmic ray, electromagnetic radiation, atmospheric electric field, optical and GPS tomography) will be presented and form part of the students’ programme of study.
The IKIR FEB RAS experimental data base includes five geophysical observatories (along 210 MM) and several sites where measurements are carried out according to standard international programs of continuous monitoring (e.g. INTERMAGNET) and special campaigns within different scientific projects.
Practical training with the software developed at IKIR for data system analysis will be given. The software will be available to the participants for further work. IKIR specialists will help the Workshop participants to adapt the software for their laptops. During the practical training, analysis of sample space weather events will be performed.

What is the dollar value of AWIN’s new 10-year business forecast?
Skip to main content
Ask the editors: The Aviation Week Network invites our readers to ask questions of our editors and analysts. We’ll answer them, and if we can’t, we’ll reach out to our extensive network of experts for advice.
Aviation Week has significantly reduced its 10-year forecast for new commercial aircraft from last year’s forecast. Can you put a dollar value on it?
Aviation Week Fleet and Flight Analyst Daniel Williams responds:
Our 10-year annual fleet and MRO forecast has just been launched and, as you can imagine, there are significant changes from last year’s forecast.
Our forecast for 2020 called for more than 23,000 deliveries of new aircraft for 2020-29. Our new forecast for 2021 shows just over 16,000 new aircraft delivered for 2021-30, a reduction of just over 30%. The reduction is mainly due to the global COVID-19 pandemic but also in part to the putting on hold of the Boeing 737 MAX production line.
Regional and single-aisle aircraft deliveries fell by around 27% in the latest forecast, while the forecast for twin-aisle deliveries was down more than 40% from the previous year.
In terms of dollar value, the 2020 forecast for new aircraft deliveries (using the Recommended Retail Price, or RRP) was $ 3.2 trillion, while our 2021 forecast shows deliveries of new aircraft totaling $ 2.1 trillion, representing a 34% drop in the dollar. value. This is mainly due to the fact that fewer expensive double aisle deliveries are expected over the decade.

On June 12, 2023, a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket carried the Spei Satelles to space to share the uplifting words of Pope Francis. Originating from California’s Vanderberg base, this satellite carries the messages of hope delivered by the Pope in St. Peter’s Square during the height of the global pandemic in 2020. (A Space X representative talks about the kind of satellites carried on the mission here).
A Celestial Transmission
Once reaching its designated orbit, the satellite will be released into a sun-synchronous trajectory. This orbital path ensures that the satellite consistently passes over any point on Earth’s surface at the same local solar time. This allows listeners to hear the Pope’s message during daylight hours. By tuning any radio to the frequency of 437.5 MHz, listeners can capture the celestial transmission as the satellite rises.
Uniting Hearts Worldwide
In addition, an opportunity was provided for individuals to have their names included on an additional memory chip carried within the satellite. Many SCLS and SCLAS registered on the official website of Spei Satelles to be a part of this initiative. By committing to acts of mercy and compassion, participants contribute to the pursuit of peace and hope. Latecomers can still sign up; their names will be remotely written on the memory chip from the ground control station.
Embracing Our Role as People of Hope
The satellite’s mission to spread Pope Francis’ words of hope is a creative and meaningful way to raise awareness of the Gospel’s call to be compassionate neighbors to one another. It reminds us of our duty to care for others and underscores the human connection that crosses geographical boundaries to transcend our individual perspectives and embrace a broader outlook on the world.
Watch the launch below.


In order to instil Chinese aerospace spirit and the patriotic feelings into its teachers and students, CIIT arranged for them to watch the live broadcast of the launch of Shenzhou-14 crewed spacecraft to witness this great historical occasion.
A Long March-2F carrier rocket carrying the Shenzhou-14 crewed spacecraft blasted off at 10:44 a.m. Beijing Time on June 5 from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwest China, sending three astronauts to its space station combination for a six-month mission. About 10 minutes later, the spaceship separated from the rocket and entered its designated orbit, with the crew members in good condition. The China Manned Space Engineering Office (CMSEO) declared the launch a complete success.
The trio will cooperate with the ground team to complete the assembly and construction of the Tiangong space station, consisting of a core module Tianhe and two lab modules Wentian and Mengtian. The Tianhe core module was launched in April 2021, and the Wentian lab module is set to be launched in July and Mengtian in October.
While watching the live broadcast, everyone was confident and proud. They held their breath and stared at the big screen. When the Shenzhou-14 manned spacecraft succeeded in entering the scheduled orbit, the conference room burst into warm applause.
Seeing is believing. After watching the live broadcast, everyone couldn't help admiring the aerospace spirit of being able to bear hardships, fight, tackle key problems and make contributions shown by the aerospace workers, and took greater pride in the unprecedented achievements made in the aerospace industry of the motherland. （审稿 / 檀祝平 摄影 / 宫乃安）


Training camp 2003
Preliminary project 2002
Aktion Zwerggans decided to run a preliminary project in summer 2002 to teach its project activists ("foster parents", pilots) how to handle the Lesser White-fronted Geese. In this project a new type of aircraft, the Dragonfly, was tested to see whether it is suitable for flying with geese. The Dragonfly had some promising advantages - it is easier to handle for the pilots while flying, even at rough weather conditions.
Course of the preliminary project
The Lesser White-fronted Geese foreseen for training, hatched in June at Cottbus Zoological Garden. Nine goslings hatched and were raised and imprinted over weeks by Aktion Zwerggans members. After about three weeks these young geese were brought to a small airfield at Kleinkoschen in Brandenburg. Here, on the airfield grounds run- and flight training of the young birds together with the microlight aircraft took place.
In Kleinkoschen our young geese saw the aircraft for the first time - its engine sound however was already familiar to them as they had heard it on tape already inside the eggs. Thus they were not shy at all and started to run after the machine. When they were ready to fly after about five weeks, they were following the aircraft almost without problems. At the end of the project end of August, the nine Lesser Whitefronts were following the aircraft on flights surrounding the airfield. Western and Northern German TV broadcasted reports about the successful course of the preliminary project.

Successful test of microlight aircraft with floats
Straight after the preliminary project with geese in Kleinkoschen, last doubts regarding suitability of the microlight aircraft type could be wiped out. Up to then, no one had flown a Dragonfly with floats as it is needed for the project. Thus the first start was very exciting. But even with floats, this aircraft could still maintain its superb flying qualities. As on the journey through Finland and Sweden solely water landings would be possible, it was essential that the aircraft would function with floats.
Valuable information about how to work with Lesser Whitefronts was collected during this preliminary project. This new knowledge is crucial for the successful planning of the main project. The most important result of the preliminary project was that the new type of aircraft used, the Dragonfly, seems very suitable for flying from Lapland to Western Germany and that it could lead the geese. Especially its good and save flying qualities at low speed, easy steering as well as short starting and landing distances were convincing.

This was traswikied from http://lifeafterpeople.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:Stellaruniversexmpls/Space_Shuttle
The Space Shuttle (1981-2011) is a partially reusable rocket with a 42 m long orbiter, 2 SRBs and a tank that supplies the 3 main engines. In orbit, the OMS engines overtake. But, if the Space Shuttle's crew disappeared?
1 second after people: The Shuttle is headed for the ISS. It sends information that will be received by supercomputers, as long as the electrical power is on.
2 hours after people: The Shuttle crashes into the ISS, destroying and slicing the ISS into two halves. The fuel explodes.
1 day after people: The electrical power in most of cities fail, but Los Angeles is a light in the night.
5 days after people: The debris of the Shuttle start to hit other satellites, including the Hubble by debris thrown into higher orbits.
1 month after people: There is a problem: small creatures are blocking the way to turbines. With them being blocked, Hoover Dam's generators overheat and automatically shut down.
1 year after people: The debris now start to affect GPS satellites, which are otherwise in good condition. When even the smallest debris piece hits GPS satellites, they shut down to a safe mode.
20 years after people: ISS burns up when it's orbit reaches 80 x 110 km.
10,000 years after people: The debris of satellites continue to multiply.
Forever: The debris that left the Solar System are sucked by black holes, and these then evaporate. The ones that stayed near Earth's orbit got engulfed by the Sun, along with Earth, Mercury and Venus.
10^100 years after people: The supermassive black holes evaporate, leaving only subatomic particles left.


Are you one of those people who would rather drive around town for hours than stop and ask for directions? If so, a Global Positioning System, or GPS, could be the perfect tool for you.
A GPS is an operational navigational system that employs the use of navigational satellites. In other words, it tracks an individual’s location or provides direction, all by using an existing satellite system. GPS units are also capable of providing a real-time reference on earth or within its orbit.
The satellite navigation system was implemented and first used by the United States of America’s Department of Defense. Later, the system was adopted for use by other countries including Europe (Galileo) and Russia (GLONASS). In the United States, any US citizen may use the navigational system, free of charge.
The satellite navigational system is primarily divided into three segments:
A GPS is technically comprised of 24 satellites, the minimum number of satellites in a constellation. These satellites orbit around six orbital planes, twice in every twenty-four-hour period. Each satellite carries an atomic clock, which continuously transmits precise time to the ground observatories located on the Earth. Additionally, the satellites send electronic messages to the earth. These messages may include data on precise time based upon the onboard satellite clocks, or information on their own orbital systems.
It’s not necessary for the user to be equipped with the precise clock, however, a good short-term clock may be required in order to receive the satellite transmissions best used in determining the exact location on earth. Different satellites employ various sequencing modes, allowing the transmission of messages to be received by the user from satellites using similar frequencies.
The primary GPS system was created to provide control over the military forces in the United States. This allowed for improved command capability, as well as the targeting and manipulation of missiles, smart bombs, and other forms of ammunition. The satellites are also able to detect nuclear detonators.
Civilian users can also access the GPS system through their GPS receivers and GPS system software. Many cities in highly urbanized countries have improved the lives of their citizens where access is available to the free worldwide GPS Standard Positioning Service. The transportation sector has greatly benefited from the system, as many planes, ships, and cars employ GPS systems for navigation. Hikers, glider pilots, mine truck drivers, and everyday travelers enjoy access to the GPS system through low-cost GPS receivers, ranging in price from $100 to $200. GPS receivers that are more precise are widely used by land surveyors for measuring land surface area, locating boundaries, and surveying markers.
Time code generators also rely on the GPS system to acquire accurate time for precisely recording events in real-time. Developers are also working on specially created GPS systems that will help visually impaired individuals.
Another, more trendy use of GPS receivers is the widely popular hobby of Geocaching. Children and adults use handheld GPS receivers to navigate designated sites and locate hidden objects. There are countless Geocaches hidden all over the world, with coordinates available on Geocaching websites.
The GPS system has brought both excitement and simplicity to the lives of countless people, all over the world. Despite the complexity of the system, anyone with a GPS receiver can use the service, free of charge. So now you’ll have no excuse for getting lost.

Do you know how to talk about space research and use space terms in Lithuanian? Lithuania is a small country in Eastern Europe sandwiched between the Baltic Sea and Russia. The country has a dense population of 3.6 million people and a thriving economy. It has a modern economy that uses its natural resources, including its Baltic Sea coastline and its many rivers.
And like the rest of the developed world – Lithuania is deeply involved in space exploration, with several companies and research institutes involved in developing satellites, rockets, and other technologies. Lithuania has an LTSTI (Lithuanian Space Research and Technology Institute) founded by the Lithuanian Space Association. This research institution conducts space research and provides services in space technology, which employs about 600 people from different fields such as physics and mathematics. Lithuania’s own Lithuanian Space Agency is the latest addition, headquartered in Vilnius, Lithuania.
Knowing all this, it’s safe to say that although Lithuanian space science is a relatively new kid on the block, it’s developing at a rapid pace! In the article below, you’ll find some interesting info about space research and all that’s mentioned above, including some of the most critical, essential words you should know on the given subject. Stay tuned!
European Space Agency
The European Space Agency is an international organization that was established in 1975. The ESA’s mission statement is to shape the development of Europe’s space capability and ensure that investment in space delivers benefits to the citizens of Europe and the world. The ESA has 22 member states, including Lithuania, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Sweden, etc., committed to working together for peaceful purposes. The ESA manages its launch vehicles and provides a range of services, from launching satellites into orbit around Earth to studying our planet’s climate change.
The ESA’s main goal is to create a unified space policy within Europe to ensure that investment in space exploration is used for peaceful purposes only. For this purpose, it uses its 17 member states’ national contributions and competencies, with each country being responsible for implementing programs in different areas such as human space flight or Earth observation.
The ESA headquarters are located in Paris, France. It has successfully established itself as an international leader in space exploration, and they are planning on expanding their operations.
Lithuanian Space Agency and Space Exploration
The Lithuanian space agency is a member of the European Space Agency, and it was formed in 2012 by the government of Lithuania. Its main goal is to make space exploration viable for everyone and respond to the growing demand for space technology worldwide. The agency is responsible for developing a wide range of space-related technologies and services, ranging from launching satellites and spacecraft to training astronauts and engineers in high-altitude research and exploration.
Its main goal is to promote the Lithuanian space industry internationally support the development of space science and technology and research activities of Lithuanian scientists related to space exploration. The agency also provides services for companies that want to invest in the Lithuanian space sector.
In addition, the Lithuanian Space Agency runs several small missions each year, including the first two Lithuanian satellites programs -CubeSat and LitSat. The CubeSat is a small satellite developed by Lithuania that costs less than ten thousand dollars and weighs only about 0.1 kilograms. It can perform scientific experiments or be used for telecommunications purposes, while LitSat 1, 2, and 3 had the mission of studying the Earth’s ozone layer.
All in all, the Lithuanian space agency has a promising future. Lithuanian government plans to invest large amounts of money into the Lithuanian Space Association and space activities, and it will be interesting to see what they do with their resources.

|Chasqui I. - To the conquest of space.|
The "Chasqui I Research Nanosatellite" project is the first satellite project of Universidad Nacional de Ingeniería (National University of Engineering" and its main goal is improving UNI's satellite technology - related capacities, through the design, analysis, assembly, integration, testing and operation of a small dimension satellite. Furthermore, the satellite is intended to take pictures of the Earth and transmit them to the ground station.
We are talking about a 10x10x10 cm3 satellite with a weight of around 1 Kg. It has two cameras, one in the visible range and one in the infra-red range. Also, it includes its own attitude control and determination system, communication in the amateur radio band mechanisms, as well as power and thermal control mechanisms based on solar cells of high eficiency and an embedded control and information management system for all the components of the satellite.
The "Chasqui I" is an unprecedented effort to provide our country access to space for the first time and gives us the opportunity to open new application areas specific to our own geographical and social reality. It is also from an academic point of view a tool that facilitates collaboration between the various faculties and research institutes of the University, trains students and teachers with real world experience in satellite building, creates opportunities for joint work with several universities in the world and allows technological advances in the aerospace industry in our country.
To develop small-scale satellites like Chasqui I gives way to various possibilities of access to space with lower costs and development time. For this reason, various universities, companies and government organizations around the world show interest in developing small satellites that can carry out experiments and scientific missions that are not easily accessible through conventional satellites. The educational and technological benefits of the project can be emphasized in the field training of engineers and scientists in the near future and the maturation of this technology coupled with the implementation of a network of this type of satellites that will allow to generate new low-cost applications in the field of telecommunications, Earth observation and exploration of natural resources, all of great importance to the development of our country.


Choosing the right airplane for a trip that will take an 18-year-old Senior high-school student around the world in less than 50 days is one of the biggest challenges, I have had for the planning portion of this trip. It all started when I was fifteen years old and saw a picture of Charles Lindbergh since then I have been able to read many books about him and many other around the world pilots. This is the story of how I choose the Cirrus SR22 over five different great aircraft.
The first thing I did when planning on the solo world flight was to find an airplane! I started out by looking at the website Earthrounders.com to see what most of the around the world pilots used on their trips. I was very surprised to learn that the two most popular aircraft to do the trip in was the Beechcraft Bonanza well known as the "Doctor Killer'' and the sleek and fast Mooney 201. These two aircraft were both fast and efficient and could get me around the world in the time frame I am looking at flying in. I had one problem with older aircraft which is basically they would need to be updated to today's standards on paint, instrumentation, and then tanked which could range well over $100,000 with that in mind I knocked those two out of the door faster than I could run. Since my timeline of flying around the world is less than two years away, I started looking at more modern-day aircraft to use. With the goal of flying around the glove in less than 50 days, I would need an aircraft that was fast, comfortable, and most importantly efficient. I had always liked the idea of the Canard design, so I looked at the Berkut 360.
The Berkut is most likely the fastest and most economical retractable gear piston-powered airplane in the world today. The design of the Berkut came from Burt Rutan's Long EZ which is a two-place canard type aircraft that has a range of more than 1,100 miles and cruises at a speed of 200 mph. The Berkut is a retractable-gear version of Rutan's Long EZ; it has a range of well over 1,300 miles and cruises at 230 mph. Those numbers impressed me enough to start contacting owners since there are less than fifty in the world flying. Unfortunately, with those glorious numbers, there is always a con to the program, and that problem was there is not enough room in the aircraft for the pilot, ferry tank, and ditch bag. That was a very disappointing moment for me as that airplane is very much capable of the trip.
I kept my head up and the search continued for two month's and I still didn't have an idea for an airplane to use. One day I was approached by a friend of mine that said "Why don't you use a Cirrus SR22?'' It is a very capable aircraft and has the efficiency you I would like. Most importantly insurance is easier to obtain on the Cirrus than other aircraft since there are over 7,000 SR airplanes flying. I contacted a friend of mine who owns and operates a Cirrus SR22 Turbo, her and I were able to go out flying on a calm and beautiful Saturday last April. She walked me around the aircraft and explained the many new features the Cirrus has versus other aircraft in today's aircraft market. We climbed in the airplane and went through the checklists and started the engine and was cleared for takeoff on 25R at 73 knots I lifted the nose off the ground and we climbed out at a beautiful speed of 120 knots which was well over 40 knots faster than the Cessna 172, I training in at the time.
We flew the airplane in a normal category range and saw a speed of 189 Miles per hour true airspeed at 5,500 feet with a ground speed of 232 miles per hour. The airplane handled very similar to the Berkut and had a large cabin for the ferry tanks and even a couple snacks for the trip! It was about twenty minutes into the flight and it was time to head back to the airport. We set up for the approach on 25R and she walked me through the landing of the airplane. We touched down on the numbers and taxied back to the Fixed Base Operator, and I said: "I am going to take a Cirrus around the world." I went home that afternoon thinking about how I can easily train in the airplane and even fly it around the world. A week later, I contacted a local Cirrus instructor and I started taking flying lessons in an SR20 which is the smallest version the SR line. I have now built a little over 100 hours in the SR20, and plan to have well over 300 hours when I depart for the trip.
I thank especially thank my friends at Evolve Air for allowing me to use one of their SR22's to take around the world. I hope that every pilot could one day taste the feel of flight in the SR22!
Stayed tuned next month to learn about "What made me decide to fly around the world in 2019"

The installed ADMS-Airbase system will be located at the Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson (“JBER”) in Anchorage, Alaska where the networked simulators will be located approximately 10 miles apart on the base. Personnel at each location will be able to train simultaneously within the same exercise. The ADMS system will feature one instructor station and three student stations providing emergency responders at JBER a variety of incidents and threats specific to a military base including plane crashes, dormitory collapses, active shooters and structure fires to train for. All the scenarios feature ETC’s Signature Simulation Technology and SmartModel(TM) library, which enhances exercise flexibility by allowing unlimited and rapid scenario generating capabilities.
“We are proud that the United States Air Force has again chosen our simulation to meet the training needs at JBER,” said Christine Stephenson, Chief Operating Officer of ETC Simulation. “The diversity of scenarios and potential training objectives available with ADMS provides the military response team with the best virtual training tool possible to prepare for any incident.”
ADMS-Airbase features a full military base with hangars, runways, nearby residential housing and a hospital. The ADMS-Airbase simulation is also used by the United States Air Force DoD Fire Academy at Goodfellow Air Force Base, Ramstein Air Force Base in Germany and the Royal Netherlands Air Force.

20 Secrets The Airlines Do Not Want You To Know
For most people, how much they know about airplane travel is somewhere between “blissfully unaware” to “aware that they”re flying through the air in a metal tube and that”s it, thank god.” I wish I could say that there”s a benefit to knowing more about the experience, but according to the airline employees who shared their employer”s biggest secrets on Reddit, being ignorant might be more of a luxury than traveling in first class. I know I wish I could unread some of these things.
1. The pillows and blankets that flight attendants hand out are often reused.
2. Not locking your luggage (with a TSA-approved lock) puts your bags at risk of being opened by ramp agents, gate agents, and even fellow passengers.
3. Even though they come wrapped in plastic, those headphones the airline give you are far from new.
4. If a flight attendant hears anything vibrating in your bag while they put it in an overheard compartment, they will have to open the bag up and inspect it.
5. Most of the items found in the SkyMall magazine can be found on the Internet for a much smaller price.
6. The water used to brew coffee and tea aboard the plane may not be as clean as you”d like it to be.
7. A hard landing on a rainy day is actually an intentional move by the pilot. This helps them break through the slick surface that coats the runway during a storm.
8. There”s a secret lock on the outside of an airplane bathroom that will allow flight attendants to unlock the door if somewhere were to lock themselves in.
9. Tip your flight attendant to ensure that you”ll have first-class service no matter where you sit.
10. Some pilots sleep during flights.
11. Gate check luggage to avoid bigger fees.
12. A pilot is authorized to make arrests once the plane”s doors are closed.
13. Despite the difference in rank, the pilot and copilot often distribute their workload into equal parts.
14. Your flight may very well be transporting human organs as well.
15. Flying with a big airline does not necessarily mean you”ll have an experienced pilot.
16. Most flight attendants don”t turn their cell phones off after they ask the passengers to.
17. Airplanes get struck by lightning all of the time.
18. Pilots are given a different meal than the passengers.
19. Airplane lights are dimmed while landing to make things easier on your eyes should you need to evacuate the plane as a result of an emergency.
20. The oxygen masks that come down from above your seat have about 15 minutes of oxygen in them.
(via Reddit, helloU, Distractify)
Yikes! Unless it”s how to fly the plane myself, I refuse to learn anything more about how airplane travel works. That, or how to get more peanuts.

Well, did we? It turns out this much hailed accomplishment, based on some common sense evidence, may be at least partly untrue.
Things always seemed off with information surrounding the moon landing but a YouTube video by Owen Benjamin has made it necessary to discuss the not-so-crazy idea that the moon landing never happened—at least not in the way it was portrayed to us.
Here is the video if you’d like to view it.
Here are the reasons why Owen Benjamin states—and I agree with him—that we didn’t go to the moon.
- A NASA astronaut is on video claiming that the technology that helped us get to the moon was destroyed, and the US no longer has the necessary capability to go to the moon. This seems like a ridiculous claim. Are we to believe that over the last 50 years technology has not improved enough to replace what we had in the late 60s? This is at best questionable.
- There are several NASA/JPL videos talking about the Van Allen Belt, and how current technology does not allow passage through the belt without significant harm to astronauts. Didn’t Apollo astronauts go through the belt with spacecraft that had virtually zero protection against the radiation from the Van Allen belt?
- The landing was broadcast live from the moon. However, at the time, the technology did not exist (and it doesn’t today) to do a live broadcast from the moon. So at best the live broadcast portion of what the public saw was a lie. Was it perhaps a recording?
- NASA destroyed all telemetry data because they had to reuse the tapes for other projects. The reason for this was due to budgetary constraints which forced this. Why would anyone destroying records of the single most astonishing accomplishment of human kind?
- Neil Armstrong gifted moon rocks to Holland which turned out to be just plain old terrestrial rocks. Need I say more?
There is more but the above is enough to cast serious doubt (or at least get one to question) the moon landing.

I‘ve been a fan of science fiction since I was a boy, sitting on the floor in front of a TV, memorized by the little robots in Silent Running. I wanted one and I still do.
The genre of science fiction typically deals with concepts of futuristic worlds involving advanced science and technology, space exploration, time travel, parallel universes, and extraterrestrial life. For me, science fiction creates a future of possibilities, some marvellous in their magnificence, others reflect the terrifying indifference the universe shows to our grandest achievements.
When I think of the universe, I think of the Pale Blue Dot image taken on February 14, 1990, by the Voyager 1 space probe that was launched in 1977.
The missions purpose was to studying the outer Solar System and after fulfilling its primary mission and as it ventured out of the Solar System, the decision to turn its camera around and capture one last image of Earth emerged. In the photograph, at a distance of 6 billion kilometres, Earth’s size is less than a pixel; we are all simply a tiny dot against the vastness of space, among bands of sunlight reflected by the camera’s lens.
The world seems to have lost it’s mind. All this rage, hate, and anger, desperately trying to disguise itself as a battle between good and evil, demons and angels.
But war is a battle between knowledge and ignorance. That’s why truth is always it’s first victim.


Scientists from Chinas Zhejiang University have sampled and recorded a drone swarm that is capable of navigating through dense areas, such as forests using AI and without human guidance.
The swarm is built up of 10 hand sized drones which communicate with one another, allowing them to stay in formation whilst using their built-in depth sensing camera to map out their surroundings and further collect data. The reason for the number of drones used is so as if the path of one of the drones is blocked, the data collected from the other 9 drones allows them to plot a new route and reform as a pack. Furthermore, their sensors then allows the drones to track a moving object or a human within the same environment; meaning if one drone loses sight of the target the others can pick it back up, this is useful as not only can these drones track humans they can also track themselves using gps to know their whereabouts. This is useful in situations such as warfare, tracking criminal activities and in future prospects helping emergency services.
Wrote by scientists in a paper published in the journal Science Robotics “In natural disasters like earthquakes and floods, a swarm of drones can search, guide, and deliver emergency supplies to trapped people,” they wrote. “For example, in wildfires, agile multicopters can quickly collect information from a close view of the front line without the risk of human injury.”
An illustration from the paper showing how multiple drones can be used to track a target even if the view from one drone is blocked. Image: Science Robotics / Xin Zhou et al
This research also has potential to be advanced in the military. These swarms are already being developed and tested in a number on nations across the world that could be used in war, the intention of their use would be mainly for surveillance, but this technology could certainly be used for both tracking and attacking combatants and civilians in the future.
Drone technology has seen a rapid increase in the adaptation for the battlefield, this has recently been shown in the war between Russia and Ukraine. These drones are cheap compared to the other choice of offence with drones being as cheap as $500 and have been used to drop grenades on opposing forces, and in the future are planned to be involved on the battlefield much more. The thing that makes these drones more dangerous is their autonomy, this is because no 10 humans can simultaneously control the swarm, but as this task can be offloaded due to algorithms, military planners are very likely to adapt this and use this technology system in war.
Currently, the technology within drone swarms isn’t advanced enough for countries to develop huge quantities of them and are currently limited to drones preforming things such as light shows. This is easier to program for us as the drones have a built in algorithm for them to follow, then they simply preform the algorithm further creating the light show. However, this research made allows for these drones to fly without built in algorithms and prior mapping of their environments. This was the first example of the research of drone swarms being put into practice and successfully flying within unknown environments.
Nowadays we’ve been so used to technology that sometimes we don’t even stop to think about how it can make our lives easier. We don’t exactly know how far the advancement of drones can go in the future, however, what we do know is LapCabby is always there to supply you with options to be able to charge, store and secure your devices.

Domestic Fliers Will Need Real ID Compliant Identification in 2023
As we enter the next decade, we will need to see a face and have a unique identifier on all our aircraft and personal belongings.
On January 30, a law passed by the U.S. Senate, the Secure Identities Act of 2013, will require the Department of Homeland Security to develop a national system of identification for all passengers flying with domestic airline carriers that will include an enhanced driver’s license, passport, or military ID. It will also apply to noncommercial aircraft pilots and their flight personnel.
There’s a big fight to be made over this legislation, which many argue, is in essence a federal mandate to identify everyone in the United States. The bill was introduced by Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) and Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), both of whom are seeking an amendment to eliminate the requirement for a national identification. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) is backing the amendment, and U.S. Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) is proposing a nationwide mandate in the U.S. Constitution.
The argument for a national ID is simple: It would solve the identity problem and it would make flying more safe.
Many of my friends who’ve done international flying in the past argued against requiring a national identification system on domestic flights because they believed U.S. aviation regulations are already sufficient.
In other words, they were confident they could board with an ordinary driver’s license and a valid passport, since the FAA has regulations for such things to prevent fraud.
This argument proves to be highly flawed, however.
For years, FAA regulations have prevented one of the most common aviation identity fraud attempts: pilots pretending to be pilots to illegally join several different airlines and using stolen military IDs to board airplanes. It’s an example of the FAA’s concern for safety.
One of the biggest problems with U.S. aviation is its lack of commonality. Every one of the more than 600 airlines

The V will soon take its first "airplane mode" flight, according to a report by Aviation Week. Tilt rotors are aircraft that have two engines at the tips of their wings and can perform a vertical takeoff, like a helicopter, and then rotate their rotors in mid-flight so they can fly just like a . The biggest difference is size as the V is about 1/3rd smaller than the MV The second item is the V engine pods do NOT rotate, only the blades with their power shafts do. The V is focused on the HH Blackhawk missions of carrying.
On 06 August a V Osprey crashed off Australia’s coast. Twenty-three personnel were quickly rescued following the incident involving a MV . The tilt-rotor aircraft involved in the mishap had launched from the USS Bonhomme Richard (LHD 6) and was conducting regularly scheduled operations when the aircraft entered the water.
The Israel Air Force will not be procuring Boeing’s V Osprey due to budgetary issues, The Jerusalem Post has learned. While the military believes there is an operational need for between 12 and 14 aircraft that can take off and land like helicopters but fly like fixed-wing planes, there are not enough funds to procure the tilt-rotor aircraft. Looking forward to new tilt-rotor options the Bell-Boeing V is reborn as the new Bell V Valor. Offering the best of both worlds, this VTOL aircraft can take-off vertically while still retaining all the features of a fixed wing aircraft.
