The Supermarine Stranraer was a 1930s flying boat designed and built by the British Supermarine Aviation Works company principally for the Royal Air Force. They entered operations in 1937 and many were in service at the outbreak of the Second World War undertaking anti-submarine and convoy escort patrols. They were withdrawn from operational service in March 1941 but continued to serve in a training capacity until October 1942. In addition to the British-built aeroplanes, the Canadian Vickers company in Montreal, Quebec, built 40 Stranraers under licence for the Royal Canadian Air Force. The RCAF Stranraers served in anti-submarine and coastal defense capacities on both Canada's Atlantic and Pacific coasts, and remained in service until 1946. Following their withdrawal from military service, many Canadian Stranraers were sold off to fledgeling regional airlines and they served in commercial passenger and freighter operation well into the 1950s.

After more than 10 years in space, the Rosetta spacecraft’s lander touched down on comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko on November 12, 2014, making the Rosetta mission the first to successfully land a spacecraft on a comet’s surface. For the European Space Agency’s Philippe Kletzkine, who served as the lander’s manager, it was a career highlight—the culmination of an ambitious 15-year project that covered more than six billion kilometers and required great patience. When he joined the Rosetta team in 2000, the challenges were formidable. “Remember, all this was done with 1990s technology and a limited budget,” Kletzkine says. “The greatest difficulty was to design to an unknown environment. How do you specify the elements of a landing gear when you don’t know whether you will land on compact hard rock, porous terrain, or fluffy regolith? We did not even know what the gravity field of the comet would be like.” The journey included a 31-month spacecraft hibernation designed to conserve energy and a tense moment during landing when the two harpoons on the lander, known as Philae, could not anchor in the surface and the lander settled under a cliff. That will make it more difficult to recharge the secondary battery using solar panels when the primary is empty. “Philae is likely to have settled down quite far from the original touchdown but still in good health and attitude,” Kletzkine says. “The drawback is that Philae has now settled in a much less sunny area.” Kletzkine moved on to other ESA projects during Rosetta’s journey and is now project manager for the Solar Orbiter, a satellite that aims to travel closer to the sun than any satellite has ever gone before. “We’re now right in the middle of the development,” he says. “Our goal is to launch in 2017 or 2018.” Over his career, Kletzkine has spent nearly 30 years at ESA, including a three-year stint in French Guiana, where he worked on satellite and commercial launches. Between graduating from MIT and joining ESA, he served in the French Air Force, where he worked on space-related programs. Kletzkine is thankful for his MIT experience, with only one exception. “My MIT education gave me added insights into other engineering cultures, and this came in very handy in my later career,” he says. “The only thing I could never really get accustomed to was nonmetric units—it’s archaic and inelegant, and also risky.” Kletzkine currently works at the ESA center in the Netherlands, where he lives with his wife, Wilma. They have three children, Daniella, Stephanie, and Jonathan, and one granddaughter, Yaela.

The actual process of joining the Air Force is fairly simple, and you’ll be guided by your recruiter every step of the way. Before you can be accepted, there are mandatory requirements and evaluations that you must pass to ensure you have what it takes to succeed as an Airman in the U.S. Air Force. How do you get into the US Air Force? - Be a citizen of the United States. - Take the Air Force Officer Qualifying Test. - Pass the Air Force physical fitness test. - Score well on the SAT or ACT. - Have at least 90 college credits (if currently enlisted) - Be at least 18 years old and less than 35. Can I join Air Force with work permit To join the U.S. military, non-citizens must be living permanently and legally in the United States. Non-citizens must also have permission to work in the United States, possess an I-551 (Permanent Residence Card), have obtained a high school diploma and speak English. How much do you get paid in the Air Force? How much does U.S. Air Force (USAF) pay? U.S. Air Force (USAF) pays its employees an average of $65,678 a year. Salaries at U.S. Air Force (USAF) range from an average of $36,878 to $115,850 a year. What disqualifies you from the Air Force? Un-united fractures, history of instability of a major joint, certain retained orthopedic fixation devices, severe scoliosis, or any condition that could interfere with daily participation in rigorous physical training or athletic programs, wearing of military equipment, or detract from military bearing and appearance How long is Air Force basic training Q: How long is BMT? A: (current as of 4 May 22) BMT is 7.5 weeks long. How long does it take to join the U.S. Air Force Every enlisted Airman begins their Air Force career with 8.5 weeks of Basic Military Training (BMT) Then you have to become an officer at the us air force academy (USAFA) and complete the 4 year training. After that feel free to apply in any airforce base in the U.S. What is the age limit for U.S. Air Force? ENLISTED. You must be 17–39 years of age, a U.S. citizen and have a high school diploma, GED with 15 college credits or GED. How can I join the US Air Force without a Green Card The one-year MAVNI pilot program allows the military to recruit up to 1,000 non-citizens who do not have permanent resident status, but who have been in US legally for at least two years. These individuals must have medical skills or foreign language skills together with cultural expertise that the military is seeking. Can I get a Green Card if I join the military? If you served honorably in the U.S. armed forces for at least one year at any time, you may be eligible to apply for naturalization. While some general naturalization requirements apply under INA 328, other requirements may not apply or are reduced. Which armies allow foreigners - Ukraine. Any person of Ukrainian heritage descent can become a citizen. - United Kingdom. British Armed Forces – The British Army has continued the historic practice of recruiting Gurkhas from Nepal to serve in the Brigade of Gurkhas. - United States. - United Arab Emirates. What benefits do you get after 4 years in the Air Force After you complete your initial four-year service obligation, you can qualify for a retention program that allows the service to pay you up to $60,000 if you stay with the Air Force. Sign up for another two years after your initial four-year commitment and you receive $20,000. Is it worth going into the Air Force As an Airman, you’ll receive good pay and a full package of benefits that keep cost of living extremely low. With excellent food and housing, insurance, recreation and retirement benefits, expect to be able to save a high percentage of your salary for future goals. Is the Air Force the hardest branch to get into It is regarded as the hardest branch of the military to get into among the 5 main US military branches. It not only requires being physically fit but also mentally sharp. Does the Air Force accept everyone For pilot and aircrew positions, height specifications vary by aircraft and most applicants can successfully pursue a career in aviation with the U.S. Air Force. Applicants who are significantly taller or shorter than average may require special screening to ensure they can safely perform operational duties. What are the odds of flying in the Air Force Just getting into a service academy is extremely competitive, and getting a pilot slot upon graduation narrows that field. (At the Air Force Academy, the selection rate for people who want to be pilots is about 95%.) Is the Air Force or Navy harder to get into? Is it harder to become a sailor or an airman? That’s really up to the individual. Some argue that because the Navy requires trainees to swim, that the Navy’s boot camp is harder while others argue that since the Air Force’s basic training is longer, that it can be considered harder. It’s a toss-up. Are tattoos allowed in the Air Force The Air Force does not allow tattoos that are very visible such as on your face, neck, hands, wrists, and head. The rules have changed in recent years to include a little more allowance for tattoos, such as allowing tattoos when they cover less than 25% of the body and the removal of size stipulations. Why would the military reject you The reasons the Army won’t accept you are numerous; they include age and weight restrictions, medical and criminal histories, and even certain tattoos, according to the team at We Are the Mighty. Similar reasons exist for the other branches, as well. How much sleep do you get in Air Force basic During training exercises, service members may sleep fewer than five hours per night. Typically, that five hours is split up into multiple episodes of sleep, usually lasting less than two hours each. How long is an Air Force contract Your initial obligation to the Air Force depends on your career choice: Four years of active duty service for those entering non-flight career fields. Six years for those entering the air battle management/combat systems officer/navigator career field* Ten years for those entering the pilot career field* Do they cut your hair in the Air Force ‘During initial processing for Basic Military Training (BMT), male Airmen will have their heads completely shaved. Female Airmen are not required to have a hair cut; however, hair must be worn up or short enough not to touch the collar. ‘ Can I serve 4 years in the Air Force When you enlist in the Air Force, you incur an overall eight-year Military Service Obligation with the option of a four- or six-year active-duty service commitment to the Air Force. Qualified individuals who enlist for four years active duty will incur an Inactive Ready Reserve obligation of four years. How long is Air Force training in USA Every enlisted Airman begins their Air Force career with 7.5 weeks of Basic Military Training (BMT). Challenged both mentally and physically, you’ll get the skills and training you need to develop into Airmen, Wingmen and Warriors. How long is a shift in the Air Force? How many days a week do you work in the Air Force? On average, Airmen will work between 40-50 hours a week. This will all depend if you are a shift worker or now. If you are then, you will normally work 12 hour shift, with 4 days on followed by 4 days of (or some similar schedule). Can I join the U.S. Army as a foreigner You do not have to be a U.S. citizen to enlist in the military, but you may have fewer options. If you are not a U.S. citizen, you must: Have a permanent resident card, also known as a Green Card. Currently live in the U.S. Can you do 2 years in the Air Force Can You Enlist For Two Years In The Air Force? Yes, but only in the Guard and Reserves. If you are going Active Duty, the minimum enlistment is 4 years. One thing to keep in mind is that the Department of Defense and the Veterans Administration launched a new initiative called The National Call To Service. Is Air Force basic training hard? It is physically demanding and will require recruits to ensure long hours of physical training, combat training, and tactical training. This phase of training also includes Combat Arms Training and Maintenance (CATM), as well as a fighting exercise that pits recruits against each other, wielding pugil sticks.

Long before television channels were full of Alaska-this and Alaska-that reality TV shows, my grandparents took a trip there with the Cincinnati Zoo. When they returned, there was the usual childhood excitement of “what gift did they bring me back this time?” The gift was a brown hat my grandparents called a bush pilot hat. At first I was disappointed in the hat and thought, “what about a toy knife or some other cool toy?” However, my disappointment was short-lived when Grandpa told me the flying stories from their Alaskan adventure. This was the first time I learned about bush pilots and the type of flying they do day in and day out. Grandpa, an aviation junkie like me, explained the types of planes bush pilots were flying “up there,” the places they were flying into, and details about how they did it. I was mesmerized and also proud that I, a 9 year old kid from Ohio, had a genuine bush pilot hat. These stories about Alaskan flying adventures, coupled with grandpa’s occasional WWII flying stories, built the foundation of my desire to fly. It would be years before I was able to experience flying a plane in Alaska myself, but I was hooked and had a hat to prove it. If you like flying, the outdoors, wildlife, adventure and the stunning beauty of nature, you have to go to Alaska. My first trip to Alaska was in 2010 on an anniversary trip with my wife, Tracy. I did not have my pilot’s license yet, since I was still in the stop and start phase of my flying career (where life always seemed to get in the way of my goal of learning to fly). Just like when Grandpa came back from Alaska, I got the flying fever again, only this time was worse than ever. I hiked up the Flat Top Mountain Trail in Anchorage, constantly looking back at Lake Hood and Anchorage International, checking out all the planes, large and small, wheeled and float, moving in and out of the airspace. On our way to Denali, we stopped at Talkeetna just to look at planes. In Denali, I could see the K2 Aviation planes taking hikers to the trail head. It was settled: when I got back from this trip, I was going to get my private pilot’s license. I was determined that when I returned to Alaska, I was going to fly here. I didn’t exactly get off our Delta flight and head straight to the local airport to start flight training, but it was not too long after. Learning to fly takes some work and dedication, along with good mentors to help you get over the plateaus that are part of any flight training. While burning holes in the sky over southwest Ohio with my flight instructor Dan Whitaker, a gearhead similar to me, we shared adventure stories and both agreed there really wasn’t a brand that captured the outdoor adventure side of aviation. I knew the idea was encapsulated in that bush pilot hat my grandparents brought me back from Alaska years ago, but it just needed a name. Flight Outfitters was born. Last year, I was lucky enough to return to Alaska to do some real flying with some real pilots. Flight Outfitters had a display at the Great Alaska Aviation Gathering in Anchorage and was also sponsoring the Valdez STOL competition the following week. At the Aviation Gathering, I personally got to know many of the men and women who pilot their own and others’ adventures every day. The stereotypical image of the bush pilot is that of a rough old guy – part mountain man, part cowboy. In reality, the bush pilot community is full of men and women, young and old, from clean cut to a little on the granola side. They are all unbelievable stick and rudder pilots. True, there are a few cowboys in the bunch, but we all have a crazy uncle after all. Most, however, are excellent at risk assessment and management, and are able to fly safely – even under extraordinary conditions. They are wonderful navigators and skilled mechanics, too. In between the Aviation Gathering and the Valdez STOL competition, I headed down to Homer to fly with Chris Palmer and Deon Mitton, two extraordinary aviators who are also featured in this catalog. With the help of my Alaskan buddies, my dream came true as I piloted a gritty old 172 over Kachemak Bay and glaciers to small dirt strips, and even over some of those Alaskan reality show film sites. Although fully decked out in Flight Outfitters gear as I managed gravel strips and crazy crosswinds, with mountain views out the window and accompanied by my real bush pilot buddies, part of me wished I’d had that old bush pilot hat from grandpa.

Optus-B [Boeing BSS] Australia's national satellite communications company became the first customer to purchase the Hughes 601 body-stabilized satellite in July 1988, when it ordered two of the high-powered spacecraft to be delivered on orbit for its next-generation system. In January 1992 the Australian company, once known as AUSSAT Pty., Ltd., became part of Optus Communications Pty., Ltd., the country's new, privately owned telecommunications carrier. The spacecraft are called the Optus B series. Built by Hughes Space and Communications Company in El Segundo, California, the Hughes HS-601 is considerably more powerful and versatile than previous Hughes satellites. Optus B is three times more powerful than and will last twice as long as Aussat A, Australia's first national communications satellite system, which was also built by Hughes. The Optus B satellites enhance existing satellite communications services throughout Australia, including direct television broadcast to homesteads and remote communities, voice communications to urban and rural areas, digital data transmission, high-quality television relays between major cities, and centralized air traffic control services. In addition, Optus B1 introduced the first domestic mobile satellite communications network to Australia. The satellites are equipped with a 150 watt L-band transponder to permit mobile communications through small antennas mounted on cars, trucks, and airplanes. This mobile ability extends throughout the nation. Optus B is a three-axis design that consists of a cube-shaped central body, 2.29 meters on a side, with a pair of three-panel solar array wings. Each wing extends 9.14 meters north and south from the body for an overall deployed length of 20.57 meters. A 30-element L-band antenna array covers the earth-facing surface of the spacecraft. One oval reflector deploys from the east side of the spacecraft body, and two smaller oval reflectors on the west side are attached to an A-frame structure similar to that of Aussat A. The three-reflector antenna system provides eight transmit and two receive beams in vertical and horizontal polarization. The satellite weight at beginning of life in orbit is 1659 kg. The Ku-band communications payload consists of fifteen 50 watt linearized transponders, each with a bandwidth of 54 MHz. The transmit coverage includes two national beams to all of Australia and the offshore region; spot beams to the western, central, northeast, and southeast regions of the Australian continent; a national beam to New Zealand; and a high performance beam to major cities. It is possible to switch eight of the transponders on each satellite to provide domestic service to New Zealand and service between Australia and New Zealand. The effective isotropic radiated power varies from 41 to 55 dBW, depending on the beam. In addition to the Ku- and L-band transponders, the Optus B satellites carry two experimental payloads, a Ka-band beacon and a laser retroreflector. Both experimental payloads are located beside the L-band antenna, where they have the required visibility of Australia. The Ka-band beacon transmits a 28 GHz signal on both horizontal and vertical polarizations for propagation experiments. The laser retroreflector permits locating the spacecraft precisely so that signals sent through Optus B can be used to set timing standards throughout Australia. The electrical power subsystem uses two sun-tracking solar arrays to generate 3200 watts. The three-panel solar array wings are covered with large area K4-3/4 silicon solar cells. Each panel is 2.54 meters by 2.16 meters. A 28-cell nickel-hydrogen battery provides full power to the spacecraft during eclipse operations, when the satellite passes through Earth's shadow. The satellite's integral propulsion system uses monomethyl hydrazine and nitrogen tetroxide bipropellant carried in four spherical titanium tanks. A single 490-newton thruster is used for perigee augmentation and apogee burns, and thirteen 22-newton thrusters are used for attitude control and stationkeeping maneuvers. Highly accurate antenna pointing control is provided by independent beacon tracking on each of the Ku-band reflector systems. The attitude control system uses an innovative combination of double-gimballed momentum wheels and magnetic field torquing, which minimizes the need for thruster use during normal on-station operations. The contract calls for a minimum in-orbit life of 10 years. The CZ-2E launch vehicle places the satellite in a low earth orbit and imparts a slow spin for stability during orbital transfer maneuvers. The satellite's onboard Thiokol Star-63F perigee kick motor (PKM) is fired to boost the spacecraft into geosynchronous transfer orbit. After its solid fuel is depleted, the PKM is jettisoned. The liquid bipropellant apogee motor using the 490-newton thruster is fired by ground command on three separate apogees, with each firing raising the perigee of the transfer orbit until the orbit is circularized at geosynchronous altitude 36,000 km above the equator. As the satellite drifts toward its assigned orbital position, it is despun, the reflectors are deployed, and the solar panels are extended. The spacecraft is oriented, and the momentum wheel is activated. The Optus B1 satellite was launched on a CZ-2E booster 14 August 1992, from Xichang, China. Optus B2 was destroyed during launch on a CZ-2E 21 December 1992 the payload fairing collapsed. The wreckage of Optus-B2 and the Star-63F Kick-Motor reached LEO. After seven months of investigation, both Hughes and the Chinese concluded that a cause for the explosion could not be determined. Immediately after the loss, Hughes began work on another satellite, Optus B3, which was successfully launched Aug. 28, 1994. Optus B1 is positioned at 160° East longitude, and Optus B3 will be at 156° East longitude. |Type / Application:||Communication| |Operator:||Optus Communications Pty., Ltd.| |Equipment:||15 Ku-band transponders, 1 L-band tranponder, Ka-band beacon, laser retroreflector| |Power:||2 deployable solar arrays, batteries| |Mass:||2858 kg (1659 kg BOL)| |Optus B1 (ex Aussat B1)||1992-054A||13.08.1992||Xi LC-2||CZ-2E [Star-63F]| |Optus B2 (ex Aussat B2)||1992-090A||21.12.1992||Xi LC-2||f''||CZ-2E [Star-63F]||Only wreckage reached orbit| |Optus B3 (ex Aussat B3)||1994-055A||27.08.1994||Xi LC-2||CZ-2E [Star-63F]|

In our quest to improve our abilities in the maritime protection industry, we have been conducting a lot of research about the UAV or Unmanned Aeriel Vehicle. There are many different UAV options on the market today, and many of them can fill the need. the question is, how do you choose a UAV? For our purpose, we must be able to launch and recover the UAV from a vessel. Most UAV's are designed to be launched and recovered in ground operations. However, some of the manufacturers have developed ways to launch from a small boat or from a large merchant vessel by employing a catapult type system. so now that you can launch the UAV, how do you recover it? Many factors can play in the recovery especially if you plan to recover the unit on a moving ship. When the unit itself costs in excess of $15,000, you certainly do not want to lose the UAV in the water. The best system we could come up with (along with manufacturer consultation) is to use a 'net capture' system. Additional considerations for choosing the right UAV range from the endurance of the UAV, how long it can stay in the air, the distance that it can travel away from your position and maintain control, speed and elevation capability, real time video, GPS, and auto return capability. Now these are not all the considerations but a good list to begin with. After a lot of consideration and consultations with various manufacturers, we have come up with a few conclusions that fit our purposes. First, we must be able to deploy the UAV at a minimum range of 10km with a flight time minimum of 55 minutes. Of course there must be GPS and real time video feed. For this type of UAV, we detect a target within the 10km range and can deploy the UAV to quickly identify the target to determine if it is a threat or non threat target. Secondly, the UAV that has a flight time endurance of up to 8 hours, and a control capability of up to 20 miles. This type of UAV is a bit larger and more of a challenge to transport between transits. However, if your need is a greater distance surveillance application, this type of UAV works great. What we found to be the most interesting fact, is that no matter which type of UAV (within our acceptable parameters)we liked, long range, short range etc., the cost of the systems were within a few thousand dollars of each other.

Centauri Spaceworks Research Department recently did some launches to evaluate some of the most powerful rockets in Space Agency: - Saturn V + Proton - Saturn V + N1 B - SLS Core + Advanced Boosters All three were tested with a heavy payload of a Habitation Module, and two Hubs (plus enough fairings and tugs glue them together). To keep the first round of testing consistent all rockets were kept at full throttle until the fuel ran out. It may be possible to get better results by shutting down the engines for parts of the launch. The Saturn V + N1 B was then only rocket to achieve orbit from the first round of testing. It just barely made orbit with fuel running out slightly before obit. The SLS + boosters did the second best. It ran out of fuel in the upper atmosphere. The Saturn V + Proton did the worst of the three rockets. The Proton did not have enough power to lift the payload and stalled. It burned up all of its fuel without adding any significant altitude. Since the SLS was so close, a second round of testing was done with throttling the engine. This time the main engine was used until the rocket cleared the tower. Then the main engine was shut down and the rocket relied on the boosters until they ran out. Then the main engine was throttled back up. This allowed the rocket to reach orbit. As with the Saturn V + N1 B this rocket ran out of fuel a few seconds before reaching orbit. In all of these tests, the goal was only to get the payload to orbit. To reduce weight, the payload was typically mounted directly to the rocket instead of an intermediate tug. This limits the ability to deliver the payload outside of HOM orbit. However, most of Centauri's launches require the payload be delivered to the workshop assembly area, which is 170 units from HOM. Further research will be needed to determine if adding an additional tug to enable extra-orbit delivery will impact the results.

Immediately we are going to have a look at the 13-year historical past of Swedish constitution and later scheduled provider Transwede Airways. Trying to fill a niche left following the demise of Transair Sweden, Thomas Johansen based Transwede Airways on April 1, 1985. Initially, the brand new airline started operations at Växjö Småland Airport (VXO) with two 109-seat Sud Aviation Tremendous Caravelles. A 12 months later, the airline moved its base of operations to Stockholm Arlanda Airport (ARN). In 1986, Transwede Airways bought Swedish tour operator Royal Excursions to ensure itself 200,000 constitution passengers a 12 months. Inside its first 12 months of operations, Transwede Airways acquired two McDonnell Douglas MD-83 plane to complement its Caravelles. The MD-83s have been deployed on constitution flights from Stockholm through Olso to Gander in Canada. After refueling in Gander, the plans continued on to Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood Worldwide Airport (FLL) in Florida. SAS had a digital monopoly on Swedish home flights By 1990 Transwede Airways had added a Boeing 737-200, two Boeing 737-300s, two MD-87s, and a further two MD-83s. On the time, Scandinavian Airways System (SAS) and its subsidiary Linjeflyg had, due to authorities concessions, a digital monopoly on all Swedish home flights. Transwede was not pleased with this and, in 1989, utilized for a license to function flights between Gothenburg Landvetter Airport (GOT), Sundsvall Airport (SDL), and Skellefteå Airport (SFT). To make the flights worthwhile, the airline bought some smaller turboprop plane. In the summertime of 1990, Transwede utilized to function scheduled flights between Stockholm, Gothenburg, and Malmö to London Gatwick Airport (LGW). To compete with SAS, Transwede used the truth that the Danish authorities had granted Maersk Air permission to fly to London Gatwick from Copenhagen. Initially working eight return flights per week, Transwede provided tickets at 32% lower than SAS and British Airways have been charging. Transwede had a 29% market share of flights between Sweden and London After acquiring permission to function flights between Oslo and London Gatwick, Sterling Airways’s proprietor, TransNordic Group, purchased a 33% stake in Transwede. Inside a 12 months, Transwede was flying thrice a day between Sweden and London with a 29% market share of the route. In August 1992, Transwede began cooperating with Finnair by offering passengers for one another’s networks. In February 1994, Transwede signed an interlining settlement with SAS to permit for the sale of multi-leg tickets on each airways. A couple of weeks later, it introduced the same take care of Lufthansa for flights between Sweden and Germany. Regardless of rising its working income, Transwede was dropping cash. Norway’s Braathens SAFE buys Transwede By 1995, the airline was nearly breaking even with its scheduled flights however dropping closely within the constitution market. Transwede break up the airline in two to separate the companies, creating Transwede Leisure. The constitution division was then offered to Swedish tour operator Fritidsresor and renamed Blue Scandinavia. In 1996, Norway’s largest home airline, Braathens SAFE, bought 50% of Transwede with an choice to purchase the remainder of the airline a 12 months later. Braathens SAFE bought the remaining 50% of Transwede on December 18, 1997, and adjusted the airline’s title to Braathens Sverige AB. In accordance with ATDB.aero Transwede Airways operated a fleet of the next plane: - 2 x Caravelle 10Bs - 2 x Caravelle 10Rs - 17 x MD-80s - 11 x Fokker F-28s - 4 x Boeing 737-200s - 4 x Boeing 737-300s - 1 x Boeing 737-500 - 2 x Boeing 757-200s

The US Air Force grounded 26 F-35A fighters after one caught fire while take off for a training flight, a Pentagon spokesman was quoted by Reuters. The pilot aborted the takeoff and was not injured, Joe DellaVedova, spokesman for the Pentagon's F-35 program office, was quoted as saying. The aircraft was the conventional take off and landing F-35A, the Air Force variant of the fighter. Other media outlets reported that the aircraft was severely damaged in the Monday morning fire on the runway. The fire occurred in the rear part of the plane where the engine is located. According to some reports, flames were seen coming out of the engine exhaust. The entire F-35 fleet was briefly grounded on June 13 after another variant of the F-35 – the US Marines’ F-35B –developed an oil leak in flight, and declared an in-flight emergency before landing safely at its base, Marine Air Station Yuma in Arizona. The aircraft resumed flying June 16-17 after their engines were inspected.

Tel Aviv, Israel (UPI) Mar 11, 2011 Israel Aerospace Industries, a major manufacturer of unmanned aerial vehicles, has unveiled a tilt-rotor drone dubbed "the Ghost" that weights just less than 9 pounds and is virtually silent. That makes the aircraft ideal for stealthy surveillance. That could include tracking suspected militants marked for assassination by armed UAVs, helicopter gunships or F-16 strike jets using precision-guided munitions, a tactic used frequently by the Israelis against wanted Palestinian militants. State-owned IAI, whose Malat Division developed the Ghost, says it's intended "for reconnaissance missions in urban settings," where many of the Israelis call "targeted killings" have taken place. The new craft can take off and land vertically, which makes it adaptable in rugged combat terrain or deployment on warships. The Ghost uses a pair of powered rotors mounted on rotating shafts at the tip of a fixed wing for loft and propulsion. It combines the vertical lift capacity of a helicopter with the speed and range of a fixed-wing aircraft. The engines swivel for takeoff and landing, as well as for hovering. Its battery-powered engines are extremely quiet, a crucial element if the craft is used to hover at low altitudes to observe possible targets that higher-flying conventional UAVs might not detect. The Ghost has a range of around 2.5 miles, a flight endurance of six hours and speed of around 37 miles an hour. With a wingspan of nearly 19 feet, it has a payload of 17.5 pounds and can carry day and night video cameras and a laser designator, which can be monitored on a console by the operator. It's the second tilt-rotor UAV to be developed by IAI, flagship of Israel's high-tech defense industry. The Malat Division unveiled the Panther, a larger craft, in October. It has a take-off weight of about 138 pounds and a wingspan of 25 feet. It can stay airborne for six hours. IAI also produces the Eitan, one of the world's largest UAVs, able to fly higher and longer than most drones. The Eitan was unveiled in February 2010. It can remain aloft for 24 hours and fly as far as the Persian Gulf, putting Iran, deemed a strategic threat by Israel, within its reach. The 4.5-ton, turboprop-powered craft, part of IAI's Heron family, has a wingspan of 85 feet, similar to that of a Boeing 737 airliner. It carries a payload of up to one ton that includes advanced imaging, radar and mapping systems. It has a ceiling of 43,000 feet.

JUBA AIRPORT RUNWAY CLOSED AFTER AIRCRAFT SUFFERS NOSEGEAR COLLAPSE (Posted 19th December 2013) (Picture courtesy of Mr. Ajak Mayol, Juba) Evacuation flights from Juba to Entebbe, Nairobi and other East African destinations came to a halt when the nosegear of a Boeing B737-500 collapsed on landing, blocking the single runway of Juba International Airport. From information at hand the plane is registered as ST-NVG and belongs to Nova Airways, is 15 years old and entered service first in January 1998. The flight originated in Khartoum, the capital of The Sudan and no injuries to passengers or crew are reported at this time. All flights enroute to Juba were advised by Air Traffic Control that the airport was presently unserviceable with the runway blocked, and as Juba can only operate in daylight, the remaining time today will cause hundreds of foreigners seeking to leave by air to remain in Juba another night. It is presently unclear when the runway will be cleared and the stricken aircraft towed away, but one source at the airport has indicated that it may take a while and did not expect any further flight movements. Aircraft on the ground, ready to leave, are also stuck at Juba and passengers and crew will have to spend very likely the night there until operations can resume tomorrow. This incident comes hot on the heels of the incident at Arusha’s municipal airport yesterday, when a B767-300ER of Ethiopian Airlines landed at an airport patently unsuited to accommodate large jet aircraft and that airport too remains closed for operations. One passenger, regularly reading this blog and based in Juba, expressed her dismay over being unable to leave after securing a seat on an outbound flight later this afternoon and shared her concern for the safety of all those passengers now at the airport. Watch this space for breaking and regular aviation news from Eastern Africa. Update at 16.20 hrs EAT The runway has been cleared, the plane been towed away and flight operations have reportedly resumed.

Getting new airplanes tested and approved for flight by various government agencies can be a Herculean task for manufacturers and their design teams. Extensive testing—much of which is done using computer-based analysis tools—is required to validate designs in the most cost-efficient manner. Let’s take a look at how Airbus used LMS Test.Lab Flutter Analysis software from Siemens PLM Software to streamline its flutter analysis process. Streamlining Flutter Analysis Modal identification methods used during flutter testing—like aircraft characteristics—have evolved to enable correct parameter identification. Frequencies and damping value estimations have to be as accurate as possible in order to define the aircraft fluttering margins used during those first critical in-flight test campaigns. Flutter testing can be broken into three segments: real-time; near real-time and offline. In-flight real-time test campaigns are used to acquire live data during the test flight, mostly as a safety check to continue the flight envelope. The near real-time testing focuses on rapid modal estimation to determine the overall safety of the flight and the flutter test program. The offline testing deals with the finer analysis of the recorded flight data and final report production. LMS Test.Lab Flutter Analysis software from Siemens PLM Software enables the user to validate data efficiently and effectively, automating the use of LMS Test.Lab Operational Modal Analysis software. It offers a full package with all the required functionality, such as data preprocessing, modal parameter estimation, mode shape animation and result validation. The Airbus flutter team in Toulouse, France faced several challenges working on the Airbus A380 campaign, but these were issues they had faced before with the Airbus A340 flutter campaign: high modal density and similar mode shapes, both placed in a low narrow frequency band. In terms of modal identification, these new precise requirements called for a better-defined and equipped testing installation, which meant digging a bit to find the right kind of process. Measured data needed to be recorded at enough locations with high enough quality to improve power spectra and transfer function estimates and avoid spatial aliasing when working on deformed aircraft shapes. This required some innovative thinking and serious process validation compared to current techniques. Building on EUREKA FLITE projects Since 2001, Airbus France and Siemens PLM Software have been cooperating on several European Research Cooperation Agency (EUREKA) projects called “FLITE” (Flight Test Easy). An intergovernmental initiative to support market-oriented European research and development, the EUREKA FLITE projects focus on bringing new and powerful tools to structural engineers and aircraft designers, improving the quality and usefulness of data gathered during flight testing. The FLITE consortium gathers world-ranking aircraft manufacturers and technology providers from France, Belgium and Poland. The FLITE projects offered a unique opportunity to confront new, advanced algorithms with challenging real-life aircraft data. Finding the right data In late 2007, Siemens PLM Software and Airbus agreed to start a project to evaluate LMS Test.Lab Polymax software, an analysis component of LMS Test.Lab Structures software, as a key solution to achieve high-quality offline, in-flight data processing for flutter analysis. LMS Test.Lab Structures is a complete solution for experimental and operational modal analysis, combining high-speed, multichannel data acquisition with a suite of integrated testing, analysis and reporting tools. Siemens PLM Software is known for its modal testing experience and scalable solutions, from supporting impact testing on small structures to large test campaigns using multiple shakers and hundreds of measurement channels. In the past, the flight test department of Airbus France performed data analysis using its in-house, near real-time analysis package, and transferred the results together with the raw data to Airbus Germany, where the numerical flutter predictions were correlated with actual flight tests. However, Airbus France felt the need to conduct further in-depth data processing so that it could transfer more complete results to Germany. “Clearly, we needed a solution that would improve the alignment between online in-flight analysis occurring in Toulouse and the postprocessing completed in the design center in Airbus Germany,” said Jean Roubertier, flight test department aero-elasticity expert at Airbus. “At this stage, we’re very pleased with the results. LMS Test.Lab is able to provide us with the right type of results.” Realizing record-breaking data acquisition The 525-seat Airbus A380 is the largest commercial passenger aircraft in the skies today, so it isn’t surprising that simply due to its sheer size, the acquired in-flight testing data is record-breaking as well. “With more than 100 sensors, that was one of the largest setups for an in-flight flutter test campaign that I have ever seen,” said Bart Peeters, Siemens PLM Software project manager. “Also, the amount of tests under different flight conditions was impressive. The resulting database is immense and efficient processing and report generation capabilities are required.” The Airbus Flutter team in Toulouse performed a variety of excitations, including control surfaces sine sweeps and pulses. Pulses are currently used to assure crew and aircraft safety, whereas sweeps are used to work out more accurate results, enabling the update of theoretical finite element (FE) models. Thanks to integrating pulses into the process, the duration of flutter flights has been considerably reduced. The basic concept behind the project was to compare classical experimental modal analysis (EMA) with LMS Test.Lab Operational Modal Analysis software. In classical EMA, the control surface excitation and aircraft response signals are converted to frequency response functions (FRFs). During the actual flight, other excitation sources, such as turbulence, are present. Sometimes this results in noisy FRFs. For example, an aircraft tail response sensor receives a rather limited contribution from the wing excitation. Therefore, the idea arose to neglect the excitation signal and apply operational modal analysis (OMA) to the aircraft acceleration signals. “We actually achieved better results using OMA than with classical EMA,” said Miquel Angel Oliver Escandell, a member of the Airbus Flutter team. “We found more modes. The synthesis was better with higher correlation and fewer errors, and the in-flight mode shapes looked much nicer. This was thanks to the amount of sensors we used and the OMA capabilities of LMS Test.Lab.” De-noising the data Even with projects of this scale, there is always noise in the data that needs to be managed. LMS Test.Lab can be used to provide a clear picture with techniques that produce accurate analysis results, even from rather noisy data. This feature offers clients like Airbus a true competitive advantage when it comes to offline test processing. “We found that the exponential window, which allowed for cross-correlation calculations, was a good de-noising tool for our in-flight data,” said Escandell, who worked on the project for a year. “And, the validation tools, such as correlation levels, MAC matrix and mode shape complexity (MPD and MPC criteria) are complementary in regards to real-time identifications performed during flutter tests.” During the comparison testing, the flutter team at Airbus used LMS PolyMAX during sweep excitations of the aircraft. The results, based on using an exponential window of 5%, appear to be good, supplying high synthesis correlations (98% using just two references) and clear stabilization diagrams. “We’ve been extremely impressed by the flutter analysis results and the way that LMS Test.Lab software is able to handle the challenges of processing the immense amount of Airbus A380 in-flight data during the offline analysis,” said Roubertier.

With only days left before Crew-1 astronauts Mike Hopkins, Victor Glover, Shannon Walker and Soichi Noguchi embark on the first “operational” crew-rotation mission to the International Space Station (ISS), on Tuesday NASA officially certified Crew Dragon as the first commercial provider of human transportation services to low-Earth orbit. The signing of the Human Rating Certification Plan came at the end of a thorough Flight Readiness Review (FRR) which has formally cleared Dragon Resilience to launch atop a brand-new Falcon 9 booster from historic Pad 39A at the Kennedy Space Center (KSC) in Florida at 7:49 p.m. EST Saturday, 14 November. With yesterday’s historic signing of the plan, Crew Dragon officially becomes the first new crewed spacecraft to receive NASA certification for regular human missions since the Space Shuttle. “I’m extremely proud to say we are returning regular human spaceflight launches to American soil on an American rocket and spacecraft,” said NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine, who is expected to step down from the space agency’s top job early next year. “This certification milestone is an incredible achievement from NASA and SpaceX that highlights the progress we can make working together with commercial industry.” “Today’s signing is about the people across NASA, SpaceX and other groups that came together to complete an unbelievable amount of hard work to accomplish this task,” said Kathy Lueders, NASA associate administrator for the Human Exploration and Operations Mission Directorate (HEOMD). “Certification moves us from the design and test phase into the crew-rotation phase of our work, but we will not stop making sure every flight, inclufing NASA’s Space Crew-1 mission, will be approached with the same rigor we have put into making this the best system it can be for our astronauts.” Ever since SpaceX was selected alongside Boeing to develop and build Commercial Crew hardware—via the Commercial Crew transportatin Capability (CCtCap) contract award in September 2014—the program has followed a long road with multiple twists and turns. SpaceX completed a successful Pad Abort Test of Crew Dragon in May 2015, which AmericaSpace photographers captured in a remarkable folio of images, but hopes of a maiden flight by 2017 were hampered by year-on-year issues of underfunding. Finally, amid great fanfare in August 2018, astronauts were named for the piloted test flights and operational Post-Certification Missions (PCMs) for Crew Dragon and Boeing’s CST-100 Starliner. An uncrewed Demo-1 flight of Crew Dragon to the ISS in March 2019, though in itself highly successful, was followed by an explosion of the capsule on the test stand a few weeks later. An In-Flight Abort Test in January 2020 finally allowed the return of U.S. astronauts to space, aboard a U.S. spacecraft, atop a U.S. rocket, and from U.S. soil, with the triumphant launch of Dragon Endeavour crewmen Doug Hurley and Bob Behnken on 30 May. Their 64-day flight to the ISS thoroughly evaluated the capabilities of Crew Dragon and contributed substantially to yesterday’s certification. “Thank you to NASA for their continued support of SpaceX and partnership in achieving this goal,” said SpaceX founder Elon Musk. “I could not be more proud of everyone at SpaceX and all of our suppliers who worked incredibly hard to develop, test and fly the first commercial human spaceflight system in history to be certified by NASA. This is a great honor that inspires confidence in our endeavor to return to the Moon, travel to Mars and ultimately help humanity become multi-planetary.” Also on Tuesday, the 230-foot-tall (70-meter) Falcon 9 booster and attached Dragon Resilience were rolled out of the Horizontal Integration Facility (HIF) to Pad 39A and elevated to the vertical. Like the B1058 booster core which powered Hurley and Behnken uphill for their historic voyage, so the crystalline “whiteness” of the B1061 core for this flight is emblazoned with both the NASA “meatball” and new-style “worm” logos. The core and its upper stage arrived on the Space Coast in July, followed by Dragon Resilience herself in August. Last week, the spacecraft was transported to Pad 39A for integration atop the rocket. Rollout to the pad was originally targeted for Monday, but as expected in remarks made at the crew arrival ceremony on Sunday the threat posed by Tropical Storm Eta led to a slippage to Tuesday. This correspondingly resulted in a 24-hour movement of the customary Static Fire Test of the nine Merlin 1D+ first-stage engines to Wednesday. The progress of Eta does not hold great promise for United Launch Alliance (ULA) either, whose Mighty Atlas V is now aiming for a Friday sunset liftoff to deliver the classified NROL-101 payload into orbit for the National Reconnaissance Office. Already delayed since 3 November by a combination of a flow-rate reduction issue in the Environmental Control System (ECS), high winds at Space Launch Complex (SLC)-41 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station and the steadily worsening weather outlook, ULA anticipates launch no sooner than 5:13 p.m. EST Friday. The risk of cumulus clouds, excessive ground-level winds and thick clouds have produced a forecast which is only 50-percent-favorable for Friday. “There is less confidence in the forecast for Wednesday and Thursday,” noted the 45th Weather Squadron at Patrick Air Force Base. “While most model guidance point to gradually improving conditions starting late Tuesday, some drift Eta back closer to the Florida peninsula by Thursday, increasing winds again. If Eta does drift back east near the west coast of Florida, winds could become elevated…bringing also higher rain and cloud coverage with the potential for lightning during the day.”

BRAVO 369 Flight Foundation completes round trip test flight to Alaska The BRAVO 369 Flight Foundation announced this week the successful completion of their training mission to Fairbanks, Alaska as part of a film documentary and flight re-creation project called “Warplanes to Siberia,” the story of the secret delivery of military aircraft between the United States and the Soviet Union during World War II. Jeff Geer, President of the foundation said “We truly re-lived the life of a 7th Ferrying Squadron pilot right down to the vintage 1942 North American AT-6 Texan we were flying.” During their flight to Fairbanks, Geer and Alan Anders, owner of the T-6, were joined by Mark Kandianis piloting his Cessna 206 as a logistics aircraft along with Elizabeth Ackerly, a Boeing 777 First Officer with American Airlines. The team made stops at airfields along the historic Alaska-Siberia (ALSIB) route beginning in Great Falls, Montana and then into Alberta, Northern BC, the Yukon, and Alaska. During the war, nearly 8,000 military aircraft were flown year round up this route. “Since we were flying Visual Flight Rules (VFR), we had to leave Bellingham (WA) two days early to get over the North Cascades mountain range to Great Falls due to an approaching storm system. “We were delayed for several days in Dawson Creek, BC and then got into some flyable but rapidly deteriorating weather conditions as we approached Fort Nelson, BC” said Geer. Geer continued “What is so amazing is the pilots who flew these aircraft up the ALSIB route did not have reliable charts and faced all kinds of bad weather which was one of the main reasons there were so many casualties. Even though we were in a vintage aircraft, we had the modern conveniences of advanced avionics, including GPS and satellite communications. At night, we had modern creature comforts of a hotel room, hot showers, and good food – they didn’t. And to think that once they got to Fairbanks they had to hop on to an unheated C-47 transport and go back to Great Falls to do it over and over and over again. The entire flight crew gained a whole new respect for these pilots and their sacrifices, and their contribution to Lend-Lease effort.” The round trip flight between Great Falls and Fairbanks is approximately 4,000 miles. While in Great Falls, the BRAVO 369 flight team was greeted enthusiastically by news media, airport officials, and Holman Aviation, the fixed base operator at the airport. Historically, Great Falls was the staging base for the ferrying flights en route to Alaska and Russia and home of Army Air Corps 7th Aircraft Ferrying Group. Geer also spent time with Montana Governor Steve Bullock briefing him on the flight project and discussing the importance that Great Falls played during WWII. On July 4 while in Fairbanks Alaska, Geer and Anders participated in the Centennial of Aviation in Alaska by flying in a formation of four T-6 Texans in recognition of the first airplane flight in Alaska 100 years earlier to the day. Geer was later interviewed at the ALSIB memorial in downtown Fairbanks by CBS affiliate KXD TV. “It was an honor to be interviewed at the ALSIB memorial, it was a surreal moment for me. For the past six years of planning this flight, the memorial was nothing more than a symbolic photo. Having flown the first leg of the ALSIB route, experiencing the life of a 7th Ferrying Squadron pilot, and standing before this beautiful memorial was truly an honor and something I will never forget. The memorial is a great tribute to those who have flown the route before us and those who gave their lives delivering aircraft to the Soviets” Geer said. In an address to Congress in 1945, Franklin Delano Roosevelt said ““The structure of world peace cannot be the work of one man, or one party, or one nation…it must be a peace which rests on the cooperative effort of the whole world.” The story of the Alaska-Siberia Lend-Lease program is as important now as it was then. It serves as a reminder of the great sacrifices and cooperation between the United States, Canada and Russia, yet most people in the world have never heard of it or know if its significance. According to Geer “Warplanes to Siberia” is gaining international attention as it brings this story to the forefront. “Our plan is to fly to Krasnoyarsk, an additional 3,000 miles across Siberia, beginning in July 2014; however, there are many things we need to accomplish before we can proceed. Safety, historical accuracy and the mutual cooperation between our great nations are our top priorities. We have proven our ability to plan and fly the first leg of this route safely and effectively. We now need to take that next giant step.” Now 68 years later in the midst of cooling relations between the United States and Russia, the BRAVO 369 Flight Foundation believes this flight project may mean more than re-creating history for an educational documentary. This may be a goodwill ambassador flight reminding the world that we were once allies serving the greater cause of freedom.

Airlines, Entrepreneurs and Bureaucrats: the American Experience The story of postwar developments in the United States airline service reflects trends that had become basic to the evolution of air transport during the pre-war era. Active participation by federal agencies launched the airmail service that spawned the first airlines in the 1920s, and federal regulations as well as airmail subsidies evolved as essential features for continuing development. Technological achievements in the 1930s created a crucial legacy for successful postwar airliners. The war itself played a key role in accelerating the role of air transport. While it is true that a fascinating cast of characters filled the roles of bold entrepreneurs before and after the war, the framework of federal programs and legislation represented a continuing pattern of influence and interaction.

A pilot being kept awake the night before by the boiler in his apartment complex led to a Calgary-based Enerjet Boeing 737 overshooting the runway during landing at Fort Nelson Airport in northeast B.C. A report by the federal transportation safety board into the Jan. 9, 2012, incident noted that the captain’s bedroom was “noisy and warm” and located above the boiler room of an apartment complex. Despite being off work for 14 days, the captain “had had little to no sleep in the 24 hours prior to the flight and considered calling in sick, but due to the time off felt it would not be viewed in a favourable light.” The report attributed the fatigue to mistakes being made during the landing approach. “The captain continued the approach when the aircraft was not in a stabilized configuration, consistent with fatigue-induced reduction in forward planning and a focus of attention towards salvaging the flight. “On short final the captain pitched the aircraft nose-down in an attempt to capture the glideslope which was below their flight path. The nose-down attitude increased the airspeed resulting in a longer flare and a touchdown beyond the recommended 1000-feet mark, thus reducing the amount of available runway for stopping.” The chartered aircraft wound up 230 feet off the end of the runway in 15 inches of snow. None of the 112 passengers and six crew members were injured and the aircraft was not damaged. The captain had about 7,500 hours total flight time and 50 hours as pilot-in-command. As a result of the incident, Enerjet issued its flight crews with an open-book exam to raise awareness of “fatigue self-assessment” and to reassure “pilots that booking off duty was non-punitive in cases such as fatigue/illness/stress,” the board said.

Russian nanosatellite TNS-0 No. 2 can remain active in orbit until 2021, experts say «The ballistics experts say that the current state of the atmosphere allows us to extend the expected service life of the nanosatellite TNS-0 No. 2 up to 2021. After that, it will burn in the dense layers of the atmosphere. It is planned to conduct additional experiments during this extra time to determine the extremities of service life of various instruments installed on the satellite, under the conditions of space,» the press service said. The autonomous navigation system created in the RSS had been tested onboard the THC-0 No. 2. Its data allowed to direct with high accuracy the VHF antennas of the Mission Control Centre to communicate with the satellite, and it was also proved that the accuracy of the device ensures the independence of the control of the orbit of TNS-0 No 2 from foreign ground systems such as NORAD (North American Aerospace Defense Command).

There are few more potent reminders that Mars used to be a wet world than seeing ancient, dried up river beds etched into the red planet's surface. In a decidedly wintry-looking scene, frost-filled fractures fills a crater near the north pole of Mars -- as observed by NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. What's that? Not one, but a SWARM of dust devils on Mars! Could the seismic fingerprint of dust devils detected on Earth be used to decipher the tiny tornadoes racing across the Martian surface? By combining high-resolution observations of Mars dune ripples and comparing them with sand dunes on Earth, scientists are beginning to understand how surface winds influence the Red Planet. Check out where 'The Martian's' Mark Watney was moving around in the fictional tale, using real photographs of Mars.

Global emissions rules for airlines is picking up steam ahead of a United Nation’s aviation board meeting later this month. The US, China, Mexico and now 44 European counties have pledged to support a market-based program in which the commercial aviation industry offsets its greenhouse gas emissions by investing in emissions-reduction projects in other sectors. The UN’s International Civil Aviation Organization meets in Montreal beginning Sept. 27 to formally adopt a global deal to limit aviation GHGs. The proposed international standards will be voluntary between 2021 and 2026 and then mandatory from 2027 for the world’s largest emitters. The White House says they are expected to reduce carbon emissions more than 650 million tons between 2020 and 2040. The aviation industry doesn’t have its own carbon reduction targets under last year’s Paris climate deal. Meanwhile the EPA is moving forward with its own aircraft emissions rules.

Some aircraft lavatory holding tanks have a blue chemical added to the water to deodorize the water and break down solid waste. Occasionally, the holding tank or drain tube develops a leak. If this happens at high altitudes, the water will freeze once it hits outside air. However, if blue ice falls from an aircraft, the ice will usually break up and melt before it hits the ground. If the ice doesn't fall off, it will melt as the airplane descends for landing. Then it usually dissipates into small droplets. Many people assume that aircraft lavatories dump overboard when they are flushed; they do not. The aircrew cannot dump the wastewater in flight because the waste valve is located on the exterior of the aircraft and only ground crew can operate valve. Blue Water, Blue Ice or ??? We at the Chicago O'Hare FSDO receive many telephone calls and FAA Hotline complaints regarding blue water or blue ice, especially during autumn. The calls are mostly from people who live under one of the main flight paths into Chicago O'Hare International Airport or Chicago's Midway Airport. One possible explanation during autumn is that birds, particularly Canada geese, are flocking together and preparing for their migration south. As fruit trees are also ripening during this time of year, the birds eat the fruit. If the fruit is blue, it will come out blue when the bird passes it. While this is one possible explanation, if you see any object fall off an aircraft in flight, please call your local FAA Flight Standards District Office immediately. Provide us with any information that we can use to identify the aircraft or airline.

A U.S. military helicopter carrying five Marines has been reported missing in Southern California. The CH-53E Super Stallion, known for its capabilities in adverse weather conditions, failed to arrive as scheduled at Marine Corps Air Station Miramar in San Diego. The helicopter was en route from Creech Air Force Base in Clark County, Nevada, where the Marines participated in unit-level training exercises. The aircraft’s disappearance has triggered a widespread search and rescue operation, involving the 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing at Miramar Air Station, the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department, and the Civil Air Patrol. Efforts to locate the missing helicopter and its crew have been hampered by severe weather conditions, with heavy snowfall and dense cloud cover complicating the search in the rugged terrain of the Cleveland National Forest and surrounding areas. The missing Marines were identified as members of Marine Heavy Helicopter Squadron 361, Marine Aircraft Group 16, 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing. The incident comes as Southern California faces a historic storm, with forecasts predicting significant snowfall in the region’s mountains and challenging weather conditions continuing to affect the area. A spokesperson for the sheriff’s department informed CBS News that due to dense cloud cover on early Wednesday morning, the department’s helicopter could not be deployed to assist in the search effort. The CH-53E Super Stallion, the largest and heaviest helicopter in the U.S. military arsenal, is designed to transport troops and equipment across difficult terrains and under adverse weather conditions. Its nickname, the “hurricane maker,” attests to the powerful downwash generated by its three engines.

Please contact Records Management Division Accident occurred Monday, September 06, 1999 in SILVERTON, CO Probable Cause Approval Date: 11/30/2000 Aircraft: Bell UH-1H, registration: N4085L Injuries: 1 Minor. NTSB investigators may not have traveled in support of this investigation and used data provided by various sources to prepare this aircraft accident report. The pilot said this was his first trip of the morning, and he was transporting approximately 300 pounds of construction materials. He said that the load was on the ground and he was hovering while ground personnel disconnected the cargo net. He said that one of the ground team radioed him and reported that 'fire and smoke was coming from your tail pipe.' The pilot said that he noticed that the rotor rpm warning light was on, and the engine out lights and horns had been activated. He lowered the collective and autorotated to the ground, but the main rotors impacted terrain. The aircraft records indicate that the engine came from a civilian overhaul facility, and was installed in N4085L approximately 21 hours prior to the accident. The Colorado Department of Minerals and Mines reported the mine entrance elevation was 11,500 feet. The density altitude was calculated to be 13,000 feet. The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be: The total loss of engine power for undetermined reasons. A factor was the lack of suitable terrain for a forced landing. Full narrative available Index for Sep1999 | Index of months

Vu par CM sur A.net ! A multiplier par 1000 ?? familiar with the investigation, however, said high-level Federal Aviation Administration officials are increasingly concerned about the spate of electrical problems, highlighted by the smoldering battery aboard the JAL jet, that have dogged the aircraft since its No additional mandatory safety fixes or government-ordered inspections of Dreamliners are expected for at least the next day or two, partly because FAA and NTSB experts still are trying to determine the specific cause of the battery fire. But perhaps as soon as early next week, according to one person familiar with the matter, regulators may call for some type of review or reassessment of design and manufacturing issues related to the Dreamliner's electrical FG_Stim sur twitter FAA's Huerta: technical review to validate #787 certification data and focus on quality in design & production. It is uncommon for the F.A.A. to open a review of an airplane it has already certified, but it points to increased concern by regulators. Industry and government officials said the Dreamliner is the only commercial jetliner in decades to be subjected to such high-priority regulatory scrutiny after being approved to carry passengers. The Chicago-based plane maker fought unsuccessfully for days to head off or deflect the announcement, according to people familiar with the details. Friday's press conference also was unusual because Mr. Huerta and Mr. LaHood were joined by Ray Conner, president of Boeing's commercial airplane unit. Regulators seldom announce such a major safety initiative flanked by the target of their review, let alone give company officials a chance to defend their procedures and respond to questions from the Some safety experts say the review could at least open the door to possible design or manufacturing changes that could hamper Boeing's production and potentially increase costs. Before the announcement, according to people familiar with the discussions, senior Boeing officials complained vigorously to the FAA and DOT that launching a review also could undercut passenger confidence in the planes. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) said Monday the intensely burned-out battery that caused a fire aboard a Boeing 787 Dreamliner a week ago is being examined at a lab in Washington, D.C. After documenting the state of the airplane and removing the battery and other equipment for its investigation, the agency has now released the 787 back to Japan Airlines. The NTSB said the battery was given an X-ray CT scan at an independent test facilty this weekend, which “allowed the team to document the internal condition of the battery prior to disassembling it” later this week, the agency said in an update on its inquiry into the fire. Investigators also removed burned wire bundles from the jet for examination, along with the battery charger and several electronic control memory modules. The NTSB update said its team “also documented the entire aft electronics bay including the ... battery and the nearby affected structure where components and wire bundles were located.” The jet’s two combined flight data and cockpit voice recorders were transported to NTSB headquarters to determine if anything related to the incident occurred on the 12-hour, 20-minute flight from Tokyo that immediately preceded the fire. The flight to Boston’s Logan International Airport landed less than half an hour before the fire broke out, though all 183 passengers and crew had disembarked. The flight data is now being analyzed by the NTSB investigative team. A separate NTSB team focused on the emergency response to the incident at Logan interviewed the firefighters and documented the airport rescue and firefighting efforts to extinguish the fire The NTSB update said that though all “fire and rescue personnel responding to the incident had previously received aircraft familiarization training on the Boeing 787,” they “reported experiencing difficulty accessing the battery for removal during extinguishing efforts.” Helping the NTSB with the investigation are Boeing, the FAA, Japan Airlines, battery maker GS Yuasa of Japan, battery and charger system supplier Thales of France, and the US Naval Surface Warfare Center’s Carderock Division in West Bethesda, MD. Carderock is a Navy research and development, test and evaluation, engineering facility. An All Nippon Airways Boeing 787 has made an emergency landing in Japan's Takamatsu airport after the flight crew observed an alert related to a battery. All 129 passengers and eight crew aboard the aircraft were evacuated via slides, says an ANA spokesman. "An error was coming up for a battery," says the spokesman. "So it was decided to make an emergency landing." Media reports indicate that smoke was also observed in the aircraft's cabin, but the spokesman was unable to confirm this. The aircraft, registration JA804A, was operating flight 692 on the Yamaguchi-Ube to Tokyo Haneda route. The aircraft departed Yamaguchi-Ube at 8 a.m. local time and made the emergency landing at 8:47 a.m. Flightglobal's Ascend Online database shows that the 787, MSN 34486 was delivered to ANA in January 2012. ANA operates 17 787-8s and has a further 19 on order, and 30 787-9s on order. The news comes just one week after a battery fire aboard an Japan Airlines 787 at Boston's Logan airport. The Boston fire was a major driver of a US Federal Aviation Administraion review into the 787 announced on 11 January. ANA said the smoke was in the cockpit and the pilot got a warning signal indicating a battery problem, according to Japanese media. Yuzuru Ogasawara, chief of the transport ministry’s Takamatsu bureau, told Bloomberg News that the airport control tower “confirmed However, the local city fire department said there was no fire. An ANA official said the airline canceled all Wednesday flights on its 17 At a news conference - where ANA's vice-president Osamu Shinobe bowed deeply in apology - the carrier said instruments on the flight indicated a battery error, triggering emergency warnings to the pilots. It said the battery in the forward cargo hold was the same type as one involved in a fire on another Dreamliner at a U.S. airport last week. "There was a battery alert in the cockpit and there was an odd smell detected in the cockpit and cabin, and (the pilot) decided to make an emergency landing," Shinobe said. Marc Birtel, a Boeing spokesman, told Reuters: "We've seen the reports, we're aware of the events and are working with our A Boeing safety document from last year shows the location of the battery in a lower compartment near the plane's tail section. The compartment, which is not protected by the plane's fire-suppression system, contains key electrical systems. The battery, which powers the plane's auxiliary power unit, is close to the plane's fuselage. “Later it was confirmed that the main battery in the forward electronic equipment bay was discolored and the electrolysis solution had leaked.” Les Boeing 787 Dreamliner cloués au sol Publié le 17 janvier 2013 à 07h00 par François Duclos dans Actualité, Info pratique, Technologie - 0 commentaire L’autorité américaine de l’aviation civile FAA a suspendu hier soir tous les vols en Boeing 787 Dreamliner jusqu’à ce que la fiabilité des batteries au lithium-ion soit prouvée, une décision suivie immédiatement par les autres pays. La mesure annoncée par la FAA dans la soirée du 16 janvier 2013 ne concernait que la compagnie aérienne United Airlines, seule américaine à avoir mis en service le dernier-né de Boeing (six au total), mais elle a été immédiatement appliquée par la DGAC du Chili, les deux 787 de LAN Airlines devant à leur tour être immobilisés. Le régulateur américain estime que les défaillances de batterie, rencontrées à deux reprises sur des Dreamliner de Japan Airlines puis All Nippon Airways, pourraient endommager les structures critiques et les systèmes, voire provoquer un incendie. L’annonce a été faite suite à l’incident mercredi au Japon d’un Dreamliner d’ANA, un atterrissage en urgence ayant été nécessaire l’apparition de fumée due à une surchauffe de batterie. ANA et Japan Airlines ont immédiatement suspendu tous leurs vols en 787 jusqu’à aujourd’hui au plus tôt (elles en opèrent 24 sur les 50 en service), annulant 38 vols pour la première et huit pour la seconde. Et le gouvernement japonais a déclaré ce matin qu’il appliquera la directive de la FAA. L’Inde a suivi le mouvement, les six Dreamliner d’Air India étant cloués au sol depuis ce matin après une enquête ordonné la veille par le gouvernement. En Pologne le vol inaugural du 787 de LOT Polish Airlines entre Varsovie et Chicago a décollé hier, mais les célébrations prévues à l’arrivée ont été annulées, tout comme le vol retour. Les deux 787 avaient passé des vérifications hier selon le transporteur. Pas de réaction officielle au Qatar à l’heure d’écrire ces lignes, mais les journaux australiens annonçaient ce matin que Qatar Airways repousserait le lancement du Dreamliner vers Perth, prévu en février. Ethiopian Airlines, qui a mis en service quatre 787, n’a pas communiqué depuis le dernier incident. Boeing a réagi hier à la directive de la FAA par la voix de son PDG Jim McNerney, qui s’est déclaré « confiant dans le fait que le 787 est sûr », et mettra toutes les ressources de la compagnie au service du régulateur et des compagnies « afin de trouver des réponses le plus rapidement possible ». Tout en regrettant « l’impact des évènements récents » sur les programmes de vol des clients et leurs

- Global Crossing Airlines Group Inc. (NEO:JET) has qualified to bid for U.S. Dept. of Defense (DOD) contracts. - The DOD Commercial Airlift Review Board has approved Global Crossing to bid on, and fly DOD contracts for the air transport of military units and service members - Global Crossing is a U.S. 121 domestic flag and supplemental Airline flying the Airbus A320 family aircraft - GlobalX currently has one A321F aircraft and is expecting the second A321F to arrive by mid-March, with the third A321F to be delivered in May Global Crossing Airlines Group Inc. (NEO:JET) has qualified to bid for U.S. Dept. of Defense (DOD) contracts. The DOD Commercial Airlift Review Board has approved Global Crossing for entry into the DOD Air Transportation Program, which allows the company to bid on, and fly (if awarded) DOD contracts for the air transport of military units and service members. This business is growing. According to data from the U.S. Government Accountability Office, the DOD awarded nearly $8.4 billion for air support contracts in FY 2015 through 2020. “We found contract awards for air support have increased since FY 2015. For example, the Air Force awarded an air support contract for $83 million in 2015 and awarded a $6.4 billion contract in 2020.” On Friday alone, the DOD issued a combined US$139,132,680 to two Air Force contracts, followed by US$53 million on Monday across three contracts. Global Crossing is a U.S. 121 domestic flag and supplemental Airline flying the Airbus A320 family aircraft. Last week was National Engineers Week, and the Pentagon held a commemoration ceremony where the deputy undersecretary of defense for research and engineering explained some of the opportunities available to young engineers interested in supporting the nation’s defense. “DOD is one of the world’s largest engineering organizations and employs more than 100,000 engineers,” he said, “Here, engineers share a unique mission to advance cutting-edge engineering technology, systems and practices, and specializations that range from cyber and space to hypersonics and quantum science and more.” GlobalX flies as a passenger aircraft, crew, maintenance, and insurance (ACMI) airline as well as a charter airline serving the U.S., Caribbean, European and Latin American markets. GlobalX is also now operating ACMI cargo service flying the A321 freighter. GlobalX currently has one A321F aircraft and is expecting the second A321F to arrive by mid-March, with the third A321F to be delivered in May. The company is also scheduled to take delivery of an additional three A321F aircraft in 2023 for a total of six and two more in 2024. GlobalX is currently finalizing leases on lessor commitments for another five A321F aircraft to be delivered in the 2024-2025 time frame and is working on letters of intent for two additional A321F aircraft. The A321 P2F features a capacity of 14 upper deck and 10 lower deck containers, which is fifty-five percent more containerized volume than the Boeing 737-800 freighter and fourteen percent more containerized volume than the Boeing 757-200 freighter. JET stock has risen nearly 90 per cent year-to-date. It also saw a healthy bump last week after releasing news that the team had completed an International Air Transport Association (IATA) International Operational Safety Audit (IOSA) and has been added to the IOSA Registry. The IATA IOSA program is an internationally recognized and accepted evaluation system designed to assess the operational management and control systems of an airline. The certification is valid for two years when it must be renewed. CEO Wegel explained that having received this certification, the company joins more than 400 airlines around the world on the IOSA registry, the global industry standard for airline operational safety auditing. “We believe IOSA certification will open additional markets and customer opportunities.”

Embraer has handed over all six A-29 Super Tucano aircraft ordered by the Philippine Air Force (PAF) at Clark Air Base on Oct. 14. “The Philippine Air Force takes pride in welcoming the six A-29B Super Tucano from Embraer Defense and Security into the blue fold of our skies as part of our fleet. The addition of these close air support aircraft is a great leap in our air power capability as we soar together in our flight to a more capable and credible Air Force for the nation and its people,” Lieutenant General Allen T. Paredes AFP, Commanding General of the Philippine Air Force. “It is an honour to deliver these six A-29 Super Tucanos to The Philippine Air Force,” said Jackson Schneider, President and CEO of Embraer Defense & Security. “Delivering an aircraft amidst a global pandemic is challenging, but we were committed to go the extra mile every step of the way to have the aircraft in the hands of PAF to fulfil their security missions.” The first four Super Tucanos arrived at Clark Air Base on Sept. 19 and the remaining two arrived on Oct. 1. The PAF Super Tucanos will be deployed for close air support (CAS), light attack, surveillance, air-to-air interception, counter-insurgency (COIN) missions, advanced training and are part of PAF’s ongoing modernization plan. The new aircraft will enhance the Philippine Air Force’s CAS capabilities and complement, and eventually replace, the remaining North American Rockwell OV-10 “Bronco” attack aircraft used by the service in strike missions. The new aircraft are assigned to PAF’s 15th Strike Wing. The Philippines ordered six A-29 Super Tucano aircraft from Brazilian aircraft manufacturer Embraer (Empresa Brasiliera de Aeronáutica) in 2017 under the Revised Armed Forces of the Philippines Modernization Program (AFPMP). The contract for the six aircraft was worth PHP4.968 billion (~USD102 million). The A-29B Super Tucano aircraft is designed for light attack, close air support (CAS), counter-insurgency (COIN), and aerial reconnaissance missions in low threat environments. Additionally, the aircraft is designed to operate in high temperature and humidity conditions in extremely rugged terrain similar to the Philippines’ operational environment. To date, the Super Tucano was selected by 15 air forces worldwide.

The evolving story of Korean Air Lines Flight 7 reveals the growing importance of space-based navigation and intelligence systems and the superpower race to achieve this new ''high ground.'' Moscow says the United States was using the South Korean 747 jumbo jet to trigger Soviet air defense radars so that a passing US satellite could monitor them for intelligence purposes. US officials deny this. But the charge seems a natural response to American officials' assertions that they don't need civilian airliners to do their sleuth work, since satellites are so much better. According to officials here, the Soviets are behind in their satellite sophistication. This is one reason they launch many more than the US for military purposes. At the same time, the US is more reliant than the Soviets on satellites for the command and control of weapons and forces as well as intelligence gathering. This adds to Soviet anxiety about US intelligence satellites, which can almost pick out a fly in a bowl of borsch from hundreds of miles up and regularly pass over the most sensitive and secret Soviet military bases. In Washington, the episode has set off a search for causes of the aircraft's wandering so far off course and ways to prevent future occurrences. According to Federal Aviation Administration and airline officials, the inertial navigation system used on many airliners is highly reliable. It has an average drift rate of about 1 nautical mile per hour, far less than the 310 miles KAL Flight 7 strayed over several hours. Officials and aviation experts say pilot laxity is most likely the major cause, if not a principal contributing factor in this case. Capt. Henry Duffy, president of the Air Line Pilots Association, told a congressional subcommittee this week that errors in programming navigation systems ''in the majority of cases can be directly attributed to the human-factors problems associated with long-haul international flights . . . spending several hours in a cockpit in a 'monitoring role' while fatigue sets the stage for errors.'' The search for preventive measures is focusing on the Air Force's new Global Positioning System (GPS), which could have vast civil transport implications as well as dramatically increase US military capabilities. Stationed 11,000 miles above Earth, this grid of 18 satellites, dubbed ''Navstar,'' will allow ships, aircraft, and even individual soldiers to: position themselves anywhere on or above the earth's surface within a few meters; check time within microseconds; and measure speed to within less than one kilometer per hour. Like shooting the stars in celestial navigation, this will provide an extremely accurate external check on internal navigation systems now generally relied on over long routes. ''With this satellite constellation, an aircraft will be able to locate itself anywhere in the world, 24 hours a day,'' said Loren De Groot of Rockwell International, which is building the Navstar satellites for the Air Force. Mr. De Groot was the navigator on a recent test flight in which a business jet flew from Iowa to the Paris Air Show. Using the six GPS satellites already in place, the aircraft flew across the Atlantic and then stopped within 26 feet of its assigned target spot on the airport ramp. Current plans call for Navstar to provide two-dimensional coverage by 1987 and global three-dimensional coverage the following year. In a recent letter to President Reagan, Sen. Charles H. Percy (R) of Illinois noted that partial Navstar coverage along the Great Circle route from North America to the Orient could begin next year. He also said the cost of on-board receivers for this ''virtual fail-safe navigation system'' would be about $7,000 , far less than current navigation systems. Senator Percy and others are urging the Air Force to accelerate the GPS program, and also asking the Pentagon not to impose a user fee on civil aircraft , since the full complement of satellites will be launched and maintained in any case. Mr. Reagan recently said Navstar facilities will be made available to civilian aircraft, but Air Force officials hesitate to accelerate the program. ''I'm not sure we can get it any quicker than we can now,'' said one officer at the Pentagon. ''We're working at what we think is an optimum schedule.'' The Air Force is also researching ''over the horizon'' radar, which could track aircraft beyond the current 165-mile range, as well as the use of satellites to broadcast aircraft position reports back to ground stations. A Defense Department official told lawmakers this week that GPS will ''greatly benefit the civil sector across a wide spectrum of potential applications,'' but that it will also have a ''dramatic impact on our ability to conduct military operations.'' As with the US space shuttle, the line between military and civil application of satellites is becoming blurred.

New Delhi: The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has barred six former pilots of Jet Airways from appearing in an examination which is essential for securing a permit to fly Airbus A320 after they were caught cheating in the examination. The bar is going to effective for a period of six months. The test was being conducted by IndiGo The six pilots, who were earlier flying Boeing B737 for Jet Airways, were appearing in an examination to get permits to fly Airbus A320. The exam was being conducted in-house by IndiGo Airlines in the presence of a DGCA invigilator. After debt-ridden Jet Airways shut down operations in April, a large part of its workforce has been absorbed by other domestic airlines like IndiGo and SpiceJet. buy lipitor online https://healthcoachmichelle.com/wp-content/themes/twentytwentyone/inc/en/lipitor.html no prescription

Facebook has announced the end of plans to build drones that could give sustained and stable internet access to the developing world. The ‘Aquila’ Internet Drone Project has been grounded, ending Facebook’s plans to build a network of high-altitude solar-powered drones in the skies that could have given sustained and stable internet access to the developing world. Facebook broke the news in a blog post earlier this week, saying that while the company was still committed to the original goal of bringing more people online, it would instead rely on other companies to build aircraft, and stop building its own from the projects base in the United Kingdom. Facebook had originally intended to construct an entire fleet of Aquila drones, and provide Internet access to some four billion people around the world who currently have no internet access, or limited connectivity. “No one has ever built an unmanned aeroplane that will fly for months at a time, so we need to tune every detail to get this right,” Zuckerberg said some years ago. The prototype Aquila drones that were built weighed around 1,000 pounds (450 kilograms) and had a longer wingspan than a Boeing 737. It’s estimated top speed at altitude was expected to be around 80 miles per hour. The Aquila drones would also have run on autopilot with manned ground crews to manage certain manoeuvres. Fallen to Earth with a bump However, technological difficulties, and mechanical issues had delayed and set the project back. Those, coupled with rising competition from the aerospace industry finally ended Facebook’s dream of connecting people on a global level. “When we started the Aquila program back in 2014,” the Facebook blog reads, “very few companies were involved in this area…it’s been exciting to see leading companies in the aerospace industry start investing in this technology too — including the design and construction of new high-altitude aircraft…Given these developments, we’ve decided not to design or build our own aircraft any longer.” Google, or rather Google’s parent company, Alphabet, quietly confirmed that it had closed its own internet drone project, ‘Titan’, in early 2016 – a mere two years after it competed fiercely with and outbid Facebook to buy the business.

Go with the flow: Clean Sky’s Hybrid Laminar Flow Control Demo Controlling the flow of air around an aircraft by making that flow laminar can reduce fuel-burn and cut emissions up to 10%. Clean Sky’s Hybrid Laminar Flow Control (HLFC) demonstrator is putting the theory to the test. Laminar flow is the Holy Grail for aerodynamicists, and in fluid dynamics laminar flow occurs when a fluid flows in parallel layers, with no disruption between the layers. Hybrid Laminar Flow Control, the subject of the HLFC Demonstrator project within Clean Sky 2’s Large Passenger Aircraft (LPA) Innovative Aircraft Demonstration Platforms (IADP), is a means to ensure that the air flows around certain parts of the aircraft in parallel layers using a hybrid structure which can be mounted on the leading edge of the tail and of the wing, and by so doing, significant fuel savings and environmental benefits are possible. “Imagine if you light up a candle. The bottom part of the flame is quite stable, but the top of the flame moves erratically“ explains Xavier Hue - Clean Sky 2 Technical Leader at Airbus. “Think of laminarity as that lower, more stable part of the flame and contrast that with the top part of the flame which is “turbulent“, moving everywhere. If we transpose this comparison onto an aircraft the air around the wing behaves like the flame. There we want to reduce the turbulent part of the flow that is generating drag, which means more fuel consumption. What we’re aiming for is to have the air flow around the airfoil (it can be a wing and/or a vertical/horizontal tailplane) more like the stable, lower part of the flame. So what we’re trying to achieve with our HLFC system is to make sure we maintain the laminarity on the airfoil of the wing and/or the vertical/ horizontal tail plane for as long as possible, so that the air is flowing in parallel layers“. “Drag reduction by using laminar flow technology offers a potential double-digit decrease of specific fuel burn for large and faster long range aircraft. Suction will be applied at the leading edge of airframe components such as on the wing, tails or nacelles. The complexity, weight, industrial viability, and operability of the required systems are key to materialise the aerodynamic benefits“ says Hue. The work package of the project will include two major ground-based demonstrators and one flight-test demonstration, which are complemented by research and windtunnel tests: Demo 1 will focus on the development of HLFC horizontal tailplane and large-scale ground based testing to achieve a fully functional HLFC on a leading edge segment at TRL6. Demo 2 will include the design, build and test of a large-scale ground based demonstrator of HLFC technology applied on a wing at TRL4. A flight test demo to acquire data in specific flight conditions and representative of airlines operations will be carried out with an Airbus A320 reusing HLFC test fin developed in a former EU project. Sebastien Dubois, LPA Project Officer at Clean Sky reports that the project is now progressing towards developing a device which will be implemented to reinstate the laminarity of the air flow around the aircraft in order to avoid air turbulence: “Every time we go to reinstate such laminarity – either natural laminarity which means without any active devices, or using passive devices which is more linked to the shape of the product where we implement some active or passive devices to force the air-flow to become laminar – this will limit turbulence, contributing to fuel savings and reduction in CO2 emissions“ explains Dubois. To put the importance of this project to European aviation into a global context, he notes that “by comparison, overseas, a [hybrid laminarity] solution is already implemented on Boeing’s latest aircraft generation, the B787“. What Clean Sky is doing in this project is to concentrate its efforts on implementing a solution on the aircraft empennage, focusing either on the fin (the vertical tailplane) or on the horizontal tailplane. A previous work-package within another EU project called AFLoNext already carried out studies on a fin – the project was completed last year with a solution flighttested on the DLR aircraft, showing a potential benefit of HLFC. Some of the findings of that project are complementary to Clean Sky 2’s Hybrid Laminar Flow Control project’s objectives, which aims at fuel reduction and CO2 reduction of half of one percent. Half a percent might not sound substantial, but the bigger objective of the project is to demonstrate the potential of the technology. This means carrying out the work associated with defining the device and the materials, performing the manufacturing of the demonstrators, and also conducting experiments, with the objective of collecting information around the constraints associated with the deployment and implementation of such a new device onto an aircraft. “If we want to benefit from a positive exploitation route of such a solution we need to assess and process all the potential adverse elements such as constraints of cleaning, constraints of operation, potential failures that could occur in operation and so on. This could lead to the decision to implement – or even not to implement – such a solution. The idea is really to assess the potential performance in terms of benefits but also performance in terms of operations, to determine what is required to operate such a solution onto an aircraft, and this is what will take place in Clean Sky,“ says Dubois, who adds that “There are two aspects to all of this: the design, development and the maturation of the technologies, and the assessment of the in-flight performance and in operations, over a certain duration, to capture all the necessary elements“. Though the project’s focal point is oriented around the aircraft tail, the ultimate goal is not to implement this on the empennage but on the wing, where most of the potential resides. By the end of the project, the expectation is to accomplish HLFC demos on the tails & wing; manufacture of a segment of a Hybrid Laminar Flow Control Leading Edge (tested on a large scale ground test); development of a ’one shot’ process integrated with the micro-perforated Titanium sheet (developed in Clean Sky 2’s HYPERDRILL project); fulfillment of the aerodynamic, industrial and operability requirements; and a simplified HLFC concept for high production aircraft rate at acceptable cost. “If you implement this everywhere on the wing and on the horizontal tailplane and the vertical tailplane you could gain up to 10% fuel efficiency“ says Airbus’s Hue, who points out that, in terms of progress, “there is a test pyramid planned, for which there are some samples already tested. Their evaluation is currently ongoing. Small scale demonstrators are being manufactured to secure and confirm the choice of the design solution. Achievements so far in the project include the completion of Demo 1, where the aeronautical and manufacturing requirements were consolidated with the system definition of the active/passive device, plus various coupon tests were passed, bringing the technology readiness level of the project to TRL3. Going forward, work started on Demo 2 in April 2018, and looking further into the horizon, the flight test demo is scheduled for 2019/2020“.

Last pieces of helicopter lifted Salvage operations are expected to conclude tonight in the recovery of the UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter that rests in 25 feet of water in the Santa Rosa Sound after a "high impact" crash Tuesday night near Navarre. The largest section of the helicopter had been extracted from the Sound on Friday prior to a change in weather conditions, which prompted a delay until Saturday. Weather has hampered the search and rescue operations and later recovery since the crash at about 8:30 p.m. Tuesday. Those weather conditions, specifically the dense fog, are thought to have contributed to the crash. Military officials won't speculate on a cause other than to say the second helicopter flying Tuesday aborted its mission just after take off when weather conditions turned poor. That helicopter returned to Eglin Base safely. A black box recording device was on board the helicopter, because it was a new model, and is expected to provide some answers. As for now, responders continue to focus on collecting human remains and debris from the helicopter along the shoreline and in the debris fields around the accident site. "We will continue our recovery efforts as needed to ensure we collect as many human remains as possible," said Andy Bourland, director of public affairs at Eglin. The pieces of the helicopter that have been recovered are in the process of being collected on land for transfer to Hurlburt Field for review by the investigation teams that have already arrived and begun their work. Maj. Gen. Joseph L. Osterman, commander of Marine Corps special operations forces that were flying with the Louisiana National Guard unit, said the Marines had been flying offshore earlier in the day Tuesday to practice rappelling down ropes into the water and then heading for land. "They literally had done it hours before in daylight as part of the rehearsal for being able to do the nighttime operations, which inherently are more difficult," Osterman said at a news conference at Camp Lejeune, N.C., on Friday. It was a judgment call by the Marines and National Guard in the helicopters as to determine whether or not to proceed with the mission. Once the helicopter salvage operations are completed, recovery operations will continue and will eventually transition to the Safety Investigation Board, which is already on site. That effort is being headed by the U.S. Army Combat Readiness Center out of Fort Rucker, Ala.

When an aircraft lands in an airport and passengers disembark, there are many operations that are quickly completed to ensure that the aircraft is ready for its next passengers and flight. This turnaround time (TAT) of aircraft includes the time between the landing of an aircraft to the moment it takes off once again. From cleanliness to establishing security, multiple operations are quickly completed by teams of personnel. In this blog, we will discuss the various tasks that are done during the turnaround time of an aircraft. While many turnaround tasks are conducted simultaneously due to time constraints, the first step is always to bring the aircraft into a parking position. Once the aircraft is landed, the pilot taxis the aircraft to its final position so that it may be immobilized and marked off. At this point, passengers disembark with designated gateways or buses to transfer them to the terminal. Once the aircraft is shut down and all passengers have left, airport crews may then begin on their turnaround tasks. One of the first duties that begins once passengers leave is cabin cleaning. This task is charged to an individual who directs a team throughout the cabin, removing litter from seats and common areas. During this time, bathrooms are also cleaned and supplies such as toilet paper, tissues, and soap are replaced. While workers clean the cabins and replenish goods, they will concurrently check the entire cabin for any left items, as well as for any objects that present a safety or security concern. As this is conducted, operators on the exterior of the aircraft will begin unloading baggage. This process is called loading and ramp handling, and such personnel oversee the transfer of goods and baggage to their respective carousels and warehouses. Beyond making the aircraft clean and ready for passengers to be comfortable, workers also inspect the aircraft to verify its flight capability and condition. By following the Standard Operating Procedures Manual (SOPM), aircraft manufacturer guidelines, and directives from the airline, personnel conduct their safety technical check routine. For the next flight, workers also carry out airplane refueling. With a full aircraft tank, the aircraft can easily reach its next destination. Before passengers for the next flight operation may begin boarding, there are a few more steps that must be conducted. First, catering services will replenish the stock of food and beverages so that passengers will have nourishment during the flight. At this time, any special orders or specific items that may have been requested by passengers will be fulfilled. The next set of suitcases and goods from the incoming passengers are then loaded by the handling agents as other steps are completed by staff. As one of the last procedures, passengers are then loaded onto the aircraft while route details and passenger numbers are confirmed. Now that most steps have been completed and the next round of passengers are aboard the aircraft, the crew may then prepare for the flight operation. At this point, the aircraft is attached to a pushback trailer which brings the vehicle out of its parking position. The pushback then tows the aircraft to a suitable position for taxiing before detaching. At this point, the aircraft may access the take-off runway and begin its operations. Although there are many steps involved during the aircraft turnaround process, the time it typically takes to complete the entire operation ranges from a half an hour to an hour depending on the size of the aircraft and the airline. With great turnaround management, this amount of time can be cut down even more as efficiency is improved.

Search engine giant Google has celebrated the 50th anniversary of the first human flight into space, by honouring Russian cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin with a Doodle. Google has replaced the logo on the search engine with an animated image in which Yuri's space suite forms the first 'O' in Google. When users hover their cursor over the logo, a rocket shoots of the second 'O', which is represented by an orange Earth. Gagarin, 27 years old at that time, made history by becoming the first man to go to space. Gagarin's space-craft, the Vostok-1, did a 108 minute orbital round before landing back on Earth. Russia's space mission had startled the United States, sparking a space mission war between the two countries. In order to honour the massive feat, the Russian government sent Flight Engineer Ron Garan and Russian cosmonauts Alexander Samokutyaev and Andrey Borisenko on a mission to the International Space Station. The space-craft was named after the celebrated cosmonaut. Google's Doodle, which has become massively popular for their engaging, interactive design, has prompted the company to procure a patent for the technology, PC Mag (opens in new tab) reveals. The patent has been filed under 'systems and methods for enticing users to access a Web site'.

This is a video of a fabulous and very informative speech made recently by former USAF Captain Gary Barnhill who talks about his USAF career flying the F-84, the F-100 and the F-105. He flew the Thud over Route Pack VI during operation Rolling Thunder in 1965 in the Vietnam War. His stories about Thud missions over North Vietnam in 1965 are incredible. During one mission Gary was on the tanker getting gas when his wingman told him to eject while flying at 400 knots. Gary ejected one second before his airplane blew up. It was six seconds from the time Gary was told to eject to when his airplane blew up. Gary said that when he first started flying north in 1965 North Vietnam did not have any surface to air missiles (SAMS), but the Russians started building SAM sites in 1965. It took four months for the SAM sites to be operational during which time U.S. leaders prohibited the USAF and the Navy from attacking the under construction SAM sites. Shortly after the SAM sites became operational President Johnson authorized U.S. air power to attack the SAM sites. The first attack was unsuccessful. It involved 24 Thuds, six of which were shot down. When our guys got to the SAM site they found out all of the missiles had been removed. Gary said the reason six Thuds were shot down was because the U.S. alerted the North Vietnamese of the attacks so it could defend the targets. In a TV interview of Secretary of State Dean Rusk he was asked “It has been rumored that the United States provided the North Vietnamese government with the names of the targets that would be bombed the following day. Is there any truth to that allegation?” Secretary of State Rusk answered: “Yes. We didn’t want to harm the Vietnamese people, so we passed the targets to the Swiss embassy in Washington with instructions to pass them to the Vietnamese government.” Here are some facts he mentions about Thud missions and pilots in 1965: - F-105 pilots averaged getting shot down every 33 missions. - 50% of pilots shot down were rescued. - 158 Thud pilots were killed in action - 105 Thud pilots became prisoners of war.

Airlines Ibom Air takes delivery of two Airbus A220 aircraft African carrier Ibom Air has become the second African operator to use the state-of-the-art Airbus A220. As second carrier on the continent, Ibom Air has taken delivery of two Airbus A220-300 aircraft to enhance its regional network. The Nigeria-based airline will mainly use the aircraft on routes out of Lagos, Uyo and Abuja. By bringing in the two A220s, Ibom Air will significantly increase its capacity on the domestic routes. The aircraft have been brought in through wet-leasing from airline EgyptAir. The airline experienced a surge in passenger number, which led to capacity shortage on the Bombardier CRJ900 aircraft. Ibom Air COO, Mr. George Uriesi, confirmed: “We are pleased to introduce the Airbus A220, one of the most advanced passenger jets in the world, into the Nigerian domestic market. While our fleet of Bombardier CRJ900s did a splendid job powering the airline during its start-up phase, we had to adjust our business strategy and fast track our move to higher capacity aircraft. With the introduction of the A220, this capacity squeeze will be adequately addressed.” At first, the A220-300s will be operated three times a day between Lagos and Abuja. Furthermore, the routes from Uyo to Lagos and Uyo to Abuja will be served by the second aircraft. The five CRJ900s, which still are in the fleet, have the job to fill in any capacity gaps on other routes. Ibom Air has also released, that it is currently in negotiations with manufacturer Airbus over a purchase deal for a brand-new A220 aircraft. This aircraft could be delivered in the fourth quarter of 2022 and would enable the carrier to use its own crew staff on the flights. Right now, the A220s have been wet-leased from EgyptAir, meaning the Egyptian carrier provides crew. Ibom Air started operations back in June 2019, exactly two years ago. The carrier is owned by the Akwa Ibom State Government and is currently serving five destinations. The main operational hub has been set at Akwa Ibom Airport. The Airbus A220 is a state-of-the-art aircraft from Airbus and is being produced in Mirabel and Mobile, Alabama. The aircraft family consists of the smaller A220-100 and A220-300, which is 3.4 meter longer and can seat more passengers. Source © ibomair.com

With Australia’s borders effectively closed, and most Australians banned from leaving the country for the time being, it’s fair to say that demand for international air travel is weak right now. Many airlines have responded by reducing or eliminating international flights to or from Australia. But the movement of cargo is more important than ever. Many airlines, including Emirates, are still operating cargo flights to and from Australia despite passenger flights being suspended. (Some airlines are even converting passenger planes into freighters.) And some people still need to travel. So, which airlines are still operating passenger flights to and from Australia – and where are they flying to? Qantas and Virgin Australia have been operating a limited number of scheduled repatriation flights from London, Los Angeles, Hong Kong and Auckland to both Brisbane and Melbourne during April, subsidised by the federal government. These special flights could be booked on the airlines’ websites, but were only running one or two times per week and for a limited period of time. Only Economy seats were available, and no frequent flyer points or status credits could be earned. Meanwhile, there are still some international airlines operating regular commercial flights to and from Australia. Here is a full list of international flights to/from Australia with commercial seats available for sale as of the start of May 2020: |Air New Zealand||Brisbane-Auckland||Boeing 787-9/A320neo||2x weekly| |Air New Zealand||Melbourne-Auckland||Boeing 787-9||2x weekly| |Air New Zealand||Sydney-Auckland||Boeing 787-9||3x weekly| |All Nippon Airways||Sydney-Haneda||Boeing 787-9||3x weekly| |Air Niugini||Brisbane-Port Moresby||Boeing 767-300||5x weekly| |Air Niugini||Cairns-Port Moresby||Fokker 70||2x weekly| |Asiana||Sydney-Seoul||Boeing 777-200ER||1x weekly| |Cathay Pacific||Sydney-Hong Kong||Airbus A350||2x weekly| |China Airlines||Brisbane-Taipei||Airbus A350-900||2x weekly| |China Airlines||Sydney-Taipei||Airbus A350-900||4x weekly| |China Airlines||Melbourne-Taipei||Airbus A350-900||1x weekly| |Citilink||Perth-Denpasar||Airbus A320||4x weekly| |Garuda Indonesia||Melbourne-Jakarta||Airbus A330-300||1x weekly| |Garuda Indonesia||Perth-Denpasar||Boeing 737-800||1x weekly| |Garuda Indonesia||Sydney-Jakarta||Airbus A330-300||1x weekly| |Qatar Airways||Melbourne-Doha||Airbus A350-1000XWB||Daily| |Qatar Airways||Perth-Doha||Airbus A350-1000XWB||4x weekly| |Qatar Airways||Sydney-Doha||Airbus A350-1000XWB||Daily| |Royal Brunei||Melbourne-Bandar Seri Begawan||Boeing 787-8||2x weekly| |Scoot||Perth-Singapore||Boeing 787-9||3x weekly| |Singapore Airlines||Sydney-Singapore||Boeing 777-300ER||3x weekly| |United Airlines||Sydney-San Francisco||Boeing 787-9||Daily| Australia is also still receiving occasional repatriation charter flights from other airlines that don’t normally fly here. Last month, airlines including KLM, Nepal Airlines, Austrian Airlines and Condor operated repatriation flights to Australia, either brining home Aussies or returning stranded citizens from Australia to their respective home countries. In addition, EgyptAir this week flew from Cairo to Brisbane via Manila. Spanish airline Iberia is also flying from Sydney to Madrid via Bangkok this week. Several other airlines were also regularly flying to Australia until the end of April. After this weekend, Malaysia Airlines will temporarily end regular services from Kuala Lumpur to Sydney and Perth. Next Monday, Xiamen Air will fly Sydney-Xiamen and Korean Air will fly Sydney-Seoul for the last time in a while. Qatar Airways had also been flying regularly from Doha to Brisbane, and had been operating multiple times daily to Sydney, Melbourne and Perth during April 2020.

NASA has chosen three research teams to work on separate projects that will ultimately advance autonomous systems in self-driving cars, unmanned aircraft, and drones, the space agency touted on June 5. Each team pitched their idea on the development and use of aircraft-based autonomous technologies, and will now begin feasibility studies to see if their concept holds true. "Our idea is to invest a very modest amount of time and money into new technologies that are ambitious and potentially transformative," said Richard Barhydt, who runs the agency's Transformative Aeronautics Concepts Program. "They may or may not work, but we won't know unless we try," Barhydt stated in a NASA news release. Unmanned Aircraft With Autonomous Systems The three new studies will be conducted as part of the Convergent Aeronautics Solutions project currently run by the agency, and will potentially help create vital parts "of the Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) puzzle," according to NASA officials. Each project will focus on a different element of the puzzle and might end up rendering revolutionary technologies for the aeronautics industry, which NASA lately seems very keen on advancing. According to the agency, the three studies could be completed in 24 to 30 months' time, and add to the other five projects previously chosen last year. Apart from these research proposals, NASA selected an additional six studies in 2015, to be undertaken under the same Convergent Aeronautics Solutions project. One of the three new teams will be working on producing algorithms to enable the autonomy of self-driving cars and unmanned aircraft, aiming toward the certification of autonomous systems in aviation. NASA hopes this technology will "lay a foundation for establishing justifiable confidence in machine decisions." Remotely-Piloted Drones That Can Talk To Each Other The second team will be taking on the task of coming up with new methods to verify whether remotely-piloted drones are fit to fly before take-off. Their project aims to produce a technology which assesses the aircraft before each flight, and deems it structurally and mechanically sound to operate. In case the system detects any damage, it will allow the aerial vehicle to automatically ground itself. The third study will be researching how to use quantum computing and communication tech to create a jam-free network that can support hundreds of thousands of drones flying each day. The project envisions developing a fully secure UAS network that can enable drones to talk to each other and with the ground. NASA has shown great interest in developing drone technology that can be used to explore Mars. One example is the Mars Electric Reusable Flyer project, which will allow drones to navigate and recharge autonomously in the often unpredictable conditions on Mars. Another advantage of this research project is the possibility to study highly inaccessible areas on Mars, such as the planet's deep canyons and lava tubes, which can't be covered by human explorers.

Back in March, President Trump nominated Steve Dickson, Delta’s former senior vice president for flight operations, to head the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). But U.S. Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer and U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand called on Dickson to commit to reducing aircraft noise for Queens and Long Island residents before they consider his nomination. Residents in certain areas of Queens, Nassau and Suffolk Counties deal with incessant helicopter and airplane noise, particularly during the summer months when air traffic increases. In a letter to Dickson, Schumer and Gillibrand highlighted Queens and Long Island residents’ concerns and urged the nominee to make the issue a priority. “Before we will consider any new nominee to head the FAA, we need to hear from the nominee about what will be done to address the high levels of airplane and helicopter noise that challenge so many communities in Long Island, Queens, the Bronx and elsewhere,” said Senator Schumer. “That is why we are demanding that the nominee for FAA administrator commit to listening and responding with specific policy changes to the long-ignored frustrations of New Yorkers overburdened by aircraft noise.” In October 2018, the FAA introduced the six-month North Shore Helicopter Route, which directed air traffic away from neighborhoods like Whitestone and Bayside. In April 2019, the FAA announced that the route would be extended until October 2019. Residents of the East End of Long Island, however, said they have been waiting for months for the FAA to respond to public comment urging them to change the route to benefit them. FAA also announced that it would postpone two flight pattern changes that would reduce noise over Nassau County from flights going in and out of JFK Airport. “Residents of Long Island and Queens have long suffered through unacceptable levels of helicopter and airplane noise, and this problem gets markedly worse during the summer. Even though last year’s FAA Reauthorization bill included my provisions to address this noise pollution, the FAA has yet to follow through and take any substantive actions to actually reduce aircraft noise,” said Senator Gillibrand. “Before the Senate votes on the next FAA Administrator, I am calling on the nominee to show leadership on this issue and fully commit to addressing the concerns of New Yorkers. Excessive airplane and helicopter noise harm the quality of life in our communities, and it’s past time the FAA gives our communities the relief they deserve.” Schumer and Gillibrand’s letter to Dickson called on the nominee to commit to the following: - Finalizing the review of public comments on the North Shore route that is mandated by the FAA Reauthorization bill - Enforcing an all-water route around Orient Point and Shelter Island - Creating a route over the Atlantic Ocean on the South Shore for aircraft flying to and from the East End - Improving communication between the FAA and noise-affected communities - Seeking community input on noise impacts and abatement needs and incorporating concerns into FAA planning - Prioritizing FAA resources towards noise mitigation projects

Accurate satellite drag coefficients are important for reducing orbit prediction errors and for inferring unbiased atmospheric mass density from measurements of satellite decay. Past use of fixed satellite drag coefficients when inferring atmospheric mass density from orbital decay has resulted in large biases in empirical atmospheric models. These biases can be reduced by using physical drag coefficients which model the interaction between the atmospheric gas particles and the satellite surface; however, physical drag coefficients require detailed knowledge of the gas-surface interaction which is most sensitive to the energy and momentum accommodation coefficients. State-of-the-art models reveal that the effective energy accommodation coefficient for satellites in low Earth orbit is strongly correlated with the adsorption of atomic oxygen. Previous work has modeled this dependence using a Langmuir isotherm which works well at altitudes below ∼500 km but fails to match data at higher altitudes. Therefore, Freundlich and Temkin isotherms are used here to test whether data at higher altitudes might be better fit with a different adsorption model. Mathematically, both the Freundlich and Temkin isotherms should (and do) better fit the data because they have two free parameters compared to only one for the Langmuir isotherm. Physically, the Freundlich isotherm allows for multi-layer adsorption and an exponential range of adsorption energies corresponding to a non-uniform sur-face. The Temkin isotherm also allows for multi-layer adsorption and accounts for the interaction between the adsorbing gas and the adsorbate whereas the Langmuir isotherm is limited to monolayer adsorption and constant adsorption energy corresponding to a uniform surface.

With all the fuss and bother around the Obama administration and the recent changes being made (or at least attempted) in the American space program, it's interesting to note that some of the most important changes are new capabilities being developed outside the US in countries with ongoing and strong Canadian connections. For example, according to the NDTV news website article "GSLV failure: Work on cryogenic engine to continue," the Indian government will continue work on what they call the Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV) using an Indian developed cryogenic rocket engine which is generally considered as one of the keys to developing a heavy lift launch vehicle. According to the article: "India has no choice but to master this technology in the long run as it is technology that has been denied to the country, the sources said.Of course, the Indian government ended up making missiles anyway and now has a comprehensive inventory developed through their Integrated Guided Missile Development Program (IGMDP). It looks like they'll shortly master the core cryogenic technology as well. It took the country more than 15 years to develop the cryogenic engine as technology for this was denied when, in the 1990s, America put pressure on Russia and forced the cancellation of an Indo-Russian technology transfer deal. The argument given was that India would use these engines to make missiles. Their goal is the large and lucrative global satellite market which has always been dependent on heavy lift launch vehicles using cryogenic rockets and is currently controlled by the United States, Russia, China, Ukraine and the European Space Agency. Even the Voice of America, traditionally tied to the United States government (and certainly no friend of missile proliferation), is willing to accept that the present Indian activities are essentially commercial, at least according to their article "India's Efforts to Master Cryogenic Engine Tech Setback Commercial Space Program" which states: India's dependence on Russian built cryogenic engines to launch heavy satellites has hampered growth, and prompted Indian scientists to develop the technology.The Canadian Space Agency (CSA) and other organizations which already use facilities operated through the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) cannot help but benefit from the lower launch costs promised by this Indian initiative. Indian space scientists hope to offer satellite launch services at much cheaper rates compared to Western countries, and expand the business to about $120 million a year.

Fri., 9:04am: Nothing spotted in search for jet, Australia says PERTH, Australia – Search planes scoured a remote patch of the Indian Ocean but came back empty-handed Friday after a 10-hour mission looking for any sign of the missing Malaysia Airlines jet, another disappointing day in one of the world’s biggest aviation mysteries. Australian officials pledged to continue the search for two large objects spotted by a satellite earlier this week, which had raised hopes that the two-week hunt for the Boeing 777 that disappeared March 8 with 239 people on board was nearing a breakthrough. But Australia’s acting prime minister, Warren Truss, tamped down expectations. “Something that was floating on the sea that long ago may no longer be floating – it may have slipped to the bottom,” he said. “It’s also certain that any debris or other material would have moved a significant distance over that time, potentially hundreds of kilometers.” In Kuala Lumpur, where the plane took off for Beijing, the country’s defense minister thanked more than two dozen countries involved in the search that is stretching from Kazakhstan in Central Asia to the southern Indian Ocean, and said the focus remains on finding the airplane. “This going to be a long haul,” Hishammuddin Hussein told a news conference. The search area indicated by the satellite images – some 2,500 kilometers (1,550 miles) southwest of Perth – is so remote it takes aircraft four hours to fly there and four hours back, leaving them with only enough fuel to search for about two hours. On Friday, five planes, including three P-3 Orions, made the trip. While search conditions had improved from Thursday, with much better visibility, the Australian Maritime Safety Authority said there were no sightings of plane debris. Searchers relied mostly on trained spotters aboard the planes scanning the ocean rather than radar because the use of radar found nothing during the first day of the search on Thursday, Australian officials said. Going forward, the search will focus more on visual sightings because civilian aircraft are being brought in to participate. The military planes will continue to use both radar and spotters.

Computer aboard the Mars rover may appear rudimentary, but it is truly special The landing of Curiosity, National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s Mars rover, and the initial pictures from the surface of the fourth planet, have swelled the curiosity of people across the globe. The dangerous landing, dubbed the “seven minutes of terror”, is an unprecedented technological feat considering that the spacecraft carrying Curiosity had travelled more than 560 million km from Earth. Curiosity has 17 cameras and a host of other equipment. It has chemical cameras, spectrometers, weather probes, radiation meters, rock drillers — literally a laboratory on aluminium wheels mounted on a titanium chassis. Remote-controlling the craft, which has been entrusted with the task of observing, analysing and reporting on the Martian surface and its ambience, is a major challenge, especially because of the large distance involved. Commanding the rover from here on a real-time basis is not feasible because the signal would take anywhere between 8 minutes and 28 minutes for a single round trip. Thus, Curiosity mainly relies on its own onboard intelligence, communicating back to the commanding station only once a day with the Jet Propulsion Laboratory of NASA. Who does the thinking? Interestingly, Curiosity’s computer is less powerful than the average Android-based smartphone available in market! The motherboard (microcontroller, RAM, flash memory and other circuitry), RAD750, is the onboard computer for Curiosity and, on the lines of computation power, is humble when compared to the scale of terrestrial electronics available. It is clocked at 200 MHz (10 times faster than the previous Mars expedition, the Orbiter), has 256 MB of RAM and 2 GB flash to store the data it captures. By way of comparison, the average low-end Android smartphone available today is powered by nothing less than a processor clocked at 600 MHz, at least 256 MB RAM and supports for 32 GB of flash memory. So, why does the $2.6 billion project rely on computational power generated by a device that is available in a sub-$100 smartphone? Space-grade electronics is different from terrestrial electronics. Temperature and radiation effects can destroy electronics. For instance, the computer aboard Curiosity, the RAD750, can operate in temperatures ranging from –55 degrees Celsius to 125 degrees Celsius, certainly not the range in which a smartphone or a music player would be expected to operate. While the atmosphere shields us from hazardous radiation emanating from the sun, high-energy radiation can ionise electronic components aboard Curiosity, which would lower performance. They are also vulnerable to ‘bit-flips’. Software programmes are stored on a computer as sequences of zeroes and ones (binary) in memory registers. Radiation can cause these bits to flip: when a zero becomes one, or a one becomes zero, the information contained in the programme is altered, rendering it useless. The harsh conditions in space demand that space-grade electronics manufacturing processes enable them to be ruggedised, enabling them to cope with the ‘radiation hardening’, which impairs the computation power of the circuitry. The RAD750 is nothing but a radiation hardened version of IBM’s PowerPC750 and is the most powerful of processors available for space applications. However, these relatively low-end computers can handle highly computation-intensive tasks. It is just that the computer in space is not made to work many multiple tasks at a time. It toggles between mission critical tasks such as its own health monitoring and safe navigation and, maybe, switching on one or two payloads like the camera or the spectrometer. The coordination of tasks, and the real-time response to conditions the rover faces, is done by using a real-time operating system, commonly known as RTOS. Curiosity runs VxWorks by WindRiver, which is considered one of the most reliable RTOS available, and has flown aboard numerous space missions. Constraints in space “In a mission such as Curiosity, two of the major challenges are the limited bandwidth for communication and the time consumed by the cycle of ground analysis and subsequent commanding,” says Vigneswaran Karunanithi, a Master’s student at Technical University, Delft, who led the onboard computer team of India’s first pico satellite by students, STUDSAT, which was launched in 2010 by the Indian Space Research Organisation. “The rover cannot rely on the up-command from the earth to make all its decisions and has to make its own decisions when it comes to analysing data and prioritising onboard conditions,” Mr. Karunanithi says. While operating through interplanetary distances, communication bandwidth and power pose major design constraints. To have ample bandwidth, signals must be transmitted at high frequencies, and in order to transmit signals at high frequency, more power is required. On a 110-watt rover such as Curiosity, which is powered by the heat generated by the radioactive decay of plutonium dioxide, onboard power is still a precious commodity. This is one reason why the rover relies crucially on its own computer. Moreover, with a flash memory of only 2 GB, and to perform numerous experiments and report back the data, the storage memory on Curiosity would exhaust within few tasks. This problem is solved by evacuating back to the commanding station on the Earth, either by transmitting high power signals using high gain antennas to the Deep Space Network (worldwide network of large antennas on the earth for interplanetary communication), or by handing over the data at low frequency and at lower power signals to the neighbouring Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter spacecraft that is orbiting Mars, which in turn transmits to the commanding station on the earth. The case of Curiosity is a classic illustration of how raw computational power is not everything — even in the age of supercomputers. (The author was one of the core team members of STUDSAT, and served on its onboard computer team for two years.)

The authors of the unique Russian design are the engineers of the Central Aerohydrodynamic Institute named after Zhukovsky (TsAGI), where new test benches are currently being tested. As studies show, planes with two fuselages are easier to take off, they have less bending moments of the wing than conventional ones, and in order to take off they cost less thrust. And they need only three engines, that is, one less. The loading and unloading of the transport “two-body” will take less time, while the process itself becomes easier and more convenient. If earlier the transportation of the personnel and combat equipment of the landing units was carried out by different aircraft, now all this can be delivered to the landing area “in one bottle”. There is also a civilian option for regional aviation of dual purpose. If necessary, he will be able to transport passengers (up to 50 people) or cargo (up to 6 tons), respectively, to 1500 and 1000 km.

RTX, an aerospace and defence company based in El Segundo, California, has been awarded an exclusive $175m contract to provide overhaul and repair services for the B-2 Advanced High-Frequency Radar Components. The contract aims to bolster the radar capabilities of the B-2 bomber fleet, a key factor in maintaining the operational readiness and effectiveness of the fleet. RTX has been selected by the Air Force Sustainment Center at Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma, as the contractor for the B-2 Advanced High-Frequency Radar Components and end items. The B-2 Advanced High-Frequency Radar is a system responsible for detecting and tracking targets over long distances, providing the Air Force with situational awareness and the ability to operate in challenging and contested environments. Despite the overhaul and repair contract for the bomber fleet, the US Air Force is in the process of replacing the B-2 bomber. According to GlobalData’s “US Defense Market 2022-2027” report, the USAF is acquiring a new long-range strike bomber capable of carrying conventional and nuclear weapons. Northrop Grumman is developing the B-21 to replace the ageing B-1 and B-2 bombers. With the contract’s execution, RTX will ensure the radar’s optimal performance, enhancing the Air Force’s strategic capabilities. The contract’s timeline extends to 31 July 2033, during which RTX’s engineers and technicians will work in their El Segundo, California, facility to perform the overhauls and repairs. RTX’s experience developing and maintaining radar systems for the B-2 bomber positions the company as an ideal partner for this undertaking. The B-2 Advanced High-Frequency Radar Components contract ensures the safety and success of the men and women serving in the US military. With the B-2 bomber playing a role in the nation’s defence posture, the execution of this contract will be vital in bolstering the Air Force’s capabilities. In 2016, The United States deployed three B-2 stealth bombers to Guam amid tensions with North Korea.

The materials of die casting mold used for aluminum alloy should have good thermal conductivity and thermal fatigue resistance. The materials of die casting mold are not easily oxidized under high temperature, and can resist to adhesion of liquid metals, having lower coefficient of thermal expansion. The materials of die casting mold has less deformation of heat treatment and good hardenability. According to different processing methods, aluminum alloy can be classified into wrought aluminum alloy and cast aluminum alloy. Wrought aluminum alloy can sustain pressure process. It can be processed into aluminum alloy materials having different forms and dimensions, which are mainly used for manufacturing aviation equipment, construction doors and windows. Wrought aluminum alloy can be classified into non-heat-treated strengthening aluminum alloy and heat-treated strengthening aluminum alloy. Non-heat-treated strengthening aluminum alloy refers to that mechanical property of aluminum alloy cannot be improved through heat treatment. Cast aluminum alloy only can be strengthened through cold working deformation, mainly including high purity aluminum, commercial high-purity aluminum, commercial purity aluminum and antirust aluminum. The mechanical properties of heat-treated strengthening aluminum alloy can be improved by quenching and other heat treatments. It can be classified into duralumin, wrought aluminum, ultralumin and particular aluminum alloy. Based on chemical components, cast aluminum alloy can be classified into aluminum-silicon alloy, aluminum copper alloy, aluminum magnesium alloy, aluminum-zinc alloy and aluminum rare earth alloy. Among that, aluminum-silicon alloy contains eutectic silicon aluminum alloy and single eutectic aluminum alloy. The basic process of die casting mould is that the liquid metal is injected into cavity of mold at a low or high speed. Die casting mold has mobile cavity. The mold forces and forges with the cooling of liquid metal, which can eliminate the defect shrinkage porosity of workblank, but also make the internal of workblank reach crushing grain in forging state. The mechanical properties of workblank have been improved significantly.

Satellites transmit information to earth via laser signals. With over 30 researchers we work on this technology. Laser satellite communication There is a growing demand for more data, due to, among other things, the advent of self-driving cars, social media with more videos, and the ‘Internet of Things’. The existing connections cannot meet that demand. Laser satellite communication offers a solution. Our latest developments MilSpace2: Spectrum monitoring dual satellite system The MilSpace2 satellite system will demonstrate the military use of a microsatellite spectrum monitoring system. TNO’s view of 2030: Getting a grip on climate change from space Greenhouse gas emissions in the atmosphere are one of the main contributors to climate change and must therefore be rapidly reduced if we are to meet the 2030 climate targets. TNO is working on new satellite technology that makes it possible to do so. Because the better we identify emissions, the more targeted the action we can take. SmallCAT laser communication system delivered for integration to Norwegian NORSAT-TD Spacecraft The SmallCAT uses new optical communication technology that uses satellites to send information to Earth. This happens via invisible light signals and enables much faster data transfers than using the radio frequencies currently employed for communication everywhere. Consortium led by TNO successfully transmits data via laser communication between optical terminals over 10 km ground-to-ground link Successful field test of 10 km optical laser communication link Laser satellite communication uses satellites that send information to earth in the form of invisible light signals.

Naval Air Engineering Station Lakehurst is one of the largest military installations and is located in the central part of New Jersey, only 40 kilometers away from Trenton. The base is operated by the United States Navy and has recently become part of the larger Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst. In fact, it no longer operated independently. The mixture was complete on October, 1-st, 2009 and was part of a more comprehensive program dictated by the 2005 Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) commission. Twelve new settlements have been created this way and the joint base is just one of them. Naval Air Engineering Station Lakehurst used to be the largest installation dealing with aviation purposes in the northeastern part of the United States of America. The units hosted on site help the base make the difference, not to mention about their unique missions and objectives. For instance, NAVAIR is the largest and most advanced unit in the world that deals with aircraft launching missions. On another hand, the lighter-than-air idea released by the base turned it into one of the interface experts the Department of Defense concentrates the most. The base is the only one in the world that can deal with all the spectrum of operations and sessions regarding aircraft recovery and launch. Such operations go on around the clock. According to the motto floating around the installation, the US Navy troops cannot go or get back without these experts. Other than that, there are a few training facilities and ranges on site too. They are attended by a lot of military forces in the United States of America and not just by the US Navy troops. Some of them include the US Army, the US Air Force or the US Public Health Service. After the BRAC decision from 2005 and the actual mixture from 2009, the base became even stronger, since all the facilities are shared now. The new base is more than 170 square kilometers in size, therefore it has everything you can think of. Its importance significantly grew after the mixture. The history of Naval Air Engineering Station Lakehurst dates back to 1917. It was established as Camp Kendrick and it belonged to the US Army. The transition to the US Navy was made a few years alter, in 1921. The installation was actively used during World War Ii and the upcoming conflicts the United States of America were involved in, but without any major and notable events. Instead, the most important event on site took place in 1937. It is referred to as the Hindenburg disaster. On May, 6-th, 1937, a German airship was destroyed after a failed attempt to dock with its mast for mooring. The airship was LZ 129 Hindenburg. The incident began when it caught some fire in the back part, then it was entirely destroyed. There were 36 victims. One of them was in the crew on the ground. Other than that, the second major event in its history is the 2005 BRAC commission. Although it had a good profile and was a solid military base, Naval Air Engineering Station Lakehurst got to be merged with a couple of other installations to remain alive.

NTSB investigators used data provided by various entities, including, but not limited to, the Federal Aviation Administration and/or the operator and did not travel in support of this investigation to prepare this aircraft accident report. The certified flight instructor and pilot under instruction completed their helicopter external load training and landed the helicopter in a clear and level spot. Both pilots exited the helicopter, unhooked the external line, and verified the helicopter was clear of any skid entanglement. Both pilots reentered the helicopter. The pilot under instruction began to apply collective to lift the helicopter off the ground. As the helicopter started to come up, the left skid lifted first and the helicopter began to roll to the right. Both pilots applied full down collective and full left cyclic but the helicopter continued to roll over on its right side. The pilot stated that the helicopter and engine had no mechanical failures or malfunctions during the external load training portion of the flight The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be: The pilot's failure to maintain control of the helicopter.

A lot of companies agree with that assessment, and are steadily lowering the cost of ground solar until it becomes less than coal. Thing is, it is possible to make incremental progress with ground based, and use the funding from that to go further. Space based, the way you keep presenting it, it's all or nothing, and unforeseen flaws or defects could wreck the entire program: far riskier for the same end result. You need to show how space based can be done incrementally, and preferably make profit during those increments just like ground based does. I know of at least one way to do this, but it starts with asteroid mining (returning high value metals to Earth; no space manufacturing/added value from being in orbit at first, until customers for in-orbit goods are generated) and only later adds on export of power to Earth (after starting with solar power for on site use, with panels just like most satellites today - no new architectures - but somewhat bigger). -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

AIRBUS parent EADS posted a net profit of 553million euros for 2010. And a slew of deals earlier this week, including a multi-billion dollar contract for 15 A330s from Hong Kong-based Cathay Pacific, helped push shares up by more than 4%. EADS’ today revealed revenues were up 7% (45.8 billion euros) with record deliveries of 510 commercial aircraft over the year. Down payments from airlines rushing to meet growth in emerging markets helped to boost coffers by more than two billion euros and left the company with a record net cash surplus of 11.9 billion euros. Finance Director Hans Peter Ring announced contacts had been made "across the Atlantic" with a view to acquisitions, but would not elaborate further. He added: "The commercial market has seen an impressive rebound, especially in the growth-hungry emerging markets. "It is our clear ambition to gradually improve profitability in the mid-term. Profitability improvement is the key indicator for a better dividend distribution in the future." Chief executive Louis Gallois agreed, and said: "Last year was a year of significant progress for EADS. Commercial aircraft orders exceeded expectations and our cash flow generation was excellent." EADS, Europe’s top aerospace group, wants to expand its $1.2 billion US revenue ten-fold to help reduce its reliance on commercial jets. The firm, whose plane-making subsidiary Airbus has a wing-making factory at Broughton in Flintshire, employing 6,000 people, is under increased pressure to deliver on its strategy after losing a competition to supply air tankers to the US Air Force earlier this month.

Last week, Account Manager Samantha Ellis and International Consultants Pamela Rodriguez and Vicki Trpcevska were invited to attend a Singapore Airlines aircraft inspection of their new A380. By attending aircraft inspections, our team develop a deeper understanding of the product by seeing it first hand, resulting in better advice and recommendations to our clients. We all thoroughly enjoyed seeing the Business Class and First Class cabins as this is a luxury we hadn’t experienced when travelling. Samantha particularly liked the new aircraft layout which sees downstairs made up of Premium Economy and Economy, with a lot more Premium Economy seats added. This leaves the entire upstairs to be made up of Business and First Class cabins. The new First Class cabins were most impressive and provided ample space to be able to relax and unwind in comfort on your next flight. The new configuration of Business and First Class allows particular seat allocations to be be joined together by dropping the middle partition, and is particularly practical when travelling together. If you would like advice on flights that will feature the new aircraft and the best seats to reserve, contact our team now.

Air Guard Jet Crashes in Arizona PHOENIX (AP) _ An Air National Guard F-16 crashed this morning during a training mission on the Goldwater bombing range south of Gila Bend. No one was hurt. The pilot of the single-seat aircraft ejected safely, said guard spokesman Maj. Charles Roque. No other details about the 9:20 a.m. crash were immediately available. The plane was part of the Tucson-based 162nd Fighter wing. The Air National Guard just checked its fleet of F-16s after inspectors found a number of hairline cracks in the engines of F-16s at Luke Air Force Base in Glendale. Three of the 81 air guard engines checked were cracked. Similar cracks caused at least two F-16 crashes at Luke Air Force Base. Six of Luke’s F-16s, which cost $20 million apiece, have crashed since October. There have been no deaths or serious injuries.

Egypt deploys submarine to find crashed jet’s black boxes A submarine belonging to Egypt’s Oil Ministry that could operate at a depth of 3,000 metres under the sea level had been deployed for the purpose, Sisi said in a live televised address, also his first public comments on Thursday’s crash. “This (submarine) moved today in the direction of the plane crash because we are working hard to retrieve the two boxes, which are the black boxes,” he said, in remarks that began with a minute of silence, adding: “All the theories are possible.” “There is no particular theory we can affirm right now,” he added, even as the Egyptian aviation minister had earlier said that terrorism was more likely than technical failure in causing the ill-fated EgyptAir Flight MS804, en route from Paris to Cairo, to plunge into the waters. Investigators continued to piece together clues for a potential breakthrough even as some reports of an audio from the jet and even of locating the black boxes emerged. Multinational searchers scouring the waters 290 kms north of Alexandria have made headway by recovering debris, passengers’ belongings, body parts, luggage and aircraft seats from the jet, that initially went ‘missing’ and was later declared crashed. Sisi said “it is very, very important to us to establish the circumstances that led to the crash of that aircraft” even as he pointed out it “will take time” to determine the exact cause of the tragedy that has seen no survivors. His remarks come a day after French authorities also said “all theories are being examined and none is favoured”. Smoke was detected inside the cabin of the Airbus A320 minutes before it plunged into the Mediterranean Sea with 66 people on board, including children. France’s aviation safety agency said the plane had transmitted automated messages indicating smoke in the cabin and the pilot’s flight control unit. However, reports said the first available audio from the plane showed the pilot in normal contact with Swiss air traffic controllers, hours before officials lost contact with the jet. Control: “EgyptAir804 contact Padova 1-2-0, decimal 7-2-5, good night.” Pilot: “This is 0-7-2-5 Padova control. (Unintelligible) 8-0-4. Thank you so much. Good day, er, good night.” This and the smoke alerts indicate a sudden, dramatic turn of events that led to the plane making “sudden swerves” before dropping off radar over the Mediterranean. It made a 90-degree turn left, and then dropped from 37,000 feet to 15,000 feet before swerving 360 degrees right.

Eurofighter’s New Radar Is Nearly Ready But Royal Air Force Wants An Even Better One The Eurofighter is finally getting its long-awaited Captor-E AESA radar, but the RAF is going to wait for an enhanced version with special abilities. The United Kingdom is holding out for a unique cutting-edge Active Electronically-Scanned Array (AESA) radar for its Eurofighter Typhoons, while its European partners in the fighter program are forging ahead with a less capable, but ready solution. The Royal Air Force will likely receive its special version of the Captor-E radar that is currently in secretive development sometime in the middle of the current decade, which will enable its Typhoons to neatly complement its 5th generation F-35 Joint Strike Fighters in high-end warfighting. In a written statement on July 10, 2020, U.K. Minister for Defense Procurement Jeremy Quin stated: “The Ministry of Defence is committed to implementing an Active Electronically Scanned Array radar on our Typhoon fleet. The demonstration and manufacture phase for the UK's variant of the European Common Radar System is continuing at pace, and in June 2020 a contract was let with our European partners to develop a common integration solution across the Typhoon radar enterprise.” An AESA radar in a modern fighter is extremely important. Compared to older mechanically-scanned array radars, AESAs can spot and track targets further away and with greater speed and accuracy, even against smaller and harder to detect threats, such as low flying cruise missiles. With increased power, they generally have better target discrimination and multi-target tracking capabilities, as well as greater resistance to jamming. With longer range, they allow fighters to make better use of a new generation long-range air-to-air weaponry, such as the MBDA Meteor that the Typhoons can carry. They are also significantly more reliable than their mechanically scanned array counterparts. You can read more about AESA radars and their unique capabilities in this past piece of ours. Airbus announced in late June that it had been awarded a contract for the development, supply and integration of 115 AESA, or E-Scan, radars for German and Spanish Eurofighters. The news was extremely significant, marking the biggest development by far in a long-running saga related to the European fighter’s EuroRadar Captor-E system. Airbus operations in Germany and Spain are two partners in the Eurofighter Typhoon program, alongside BAE Systems in the United Kingdom, and Leonardo in Italy. The European fighter has made significant progress over the past five years through the addition of an array of new weapons and avionics to herald a true multi-role mission capability. However, the story of the fighter’s next-gen radar has proved less impressive. The June 2020 agreement for 110 Captor-E radars for Germany and an initial batch of five radars for Spain is significant in that it is the first such order from the partner nations involved in the Eurofighter program. The Airbus media release said the contract foresees the delivery and integration of the radars by 2023. “Whereas the Airbus sites in Manching, Germany, and Getafe, Spain, will act as overall integration hub, the development and building of the radar will be subcontracted to a consortium under the leadership of Hensoldt and Indra and by participation of further Eurofighter partner companies," according to the statement. Dirk Hoke, CEO of Airbus Defense and Space, said: “The contract for the Captor-E radar is a main achievement to equip Eurofighter with sensors that ensure today’s dominance of the aircraft also in the threat scenarios of tomorrow.” Eurofighter’s Complicated E-Scan Origins The European Common Radar System for the Typhoon is a complicated collection of projects that are being run by the overarching EuroRadar consortium comprising Leonardo in the United Kingdom and Italy, Indra in Spain, and Hensoldt in Germany. EuroRadar has already manufactured over 400 mechanically-scanned Captor radars for the existing Eurofighters that are in service, and an eagerly-awaited AESA follow-on dates back to early demonstrator flight trials in 2006 and 2007 under a project known as CAESAR (Captor AESA Radar). As long ago as 2012, then Eurofighter CEO Enzo Casolini said the E-Scan radar was “in full development,” as the partners sought to dispel confusion over the exact status of the radar with talk of an agreement by the end of 2012. “We started development, the gate target is to have entry to service in 2015,” Casolini said. At the Farnborough International Air Show in 2014, BAE Systems, Eurofighter, and EuroRadar held a public unveiling of a production representative Euroradar Captor-E, fitted to BAE Systems-operated Eurofighter Instrumented Production Aircraft 5 (IPA5) serial ZJ700. The aircraft flew into the event with the radar fitted and Eurofighter declared that a trials program was under way. A second aircraft, a two-seat new-build Tranche 3 production batch aircraft (IPA8), was also in construction in Manching, Germany, ready to join the combined E-Scan test program. Significantly, at the time of the unveiling, a contract for the radar was still not signed, with work being undertaken with contractor funding. However, speaking at Farnborough in 2014, the then British Minister for Defense Equipment, Support and Technology Phillip Dunne said that he expected to have a radar contract in place by the end of 2014. In fact, a €1 billion contract for the core development program of the common Captor-E radar was funded by the United Kingdom, Italy, Germany, and Spain in November 2014. Captor-E Moves Into Flight-Test A further two years passed before the Captor-E entered flight trials at BAE Systems’ site in Warton, Lancashire, when Typhoon IPA5 undertook a flight of around one hour on July 8, 2016. A media release said that IPA8 in Germany was also set to join the integration program. The kick-start came due to a pressing need to ensure the radar and weapons system would reach the required capability in time for first deliveries in late 2020 to the Kuwaiti Air Force, which became the aircraft’s eighth customer in April 2016 with an order for 28 jets. Importantly, Kuwait was the first Eurofighter operator to order the Captor-E for its aircraft and will be the first to operate with it. In addition, Qatar ordered 24 Eurofighters in 2017. It too required Captor-E, and despite none of the original European partners having ordered the radar, more vital funding was flowing into the E-Scan project with these new foreign customers. The latest radar order fits into a major enhancement project that was recently outlined for the Luftwaffe’s Eurofighters. Germany originally purchased 143 aircraft, consisting of 33 early Tranche 1 aircraft, 79 from Tranche 2, and 31 Tranche 3 aircraft. The Tranches are essentially the progressively more capable main build standards applied to three main batches of orders and manufacture. The Luftwaffe now plans to upgrade 110 Tranche 2/3 aircraft and procure new Tranche 4 aircraft to replace its early Tranche 1 jets under Project Quadriga. The radar contract appears to apply to both upgraded and new-build aircraft. The Spanish element of the order relates to a plan to add Captor-E to its 19 Tranche 3 aircraft. Like Germany, Spain is also evaluating buying additional Eurofighters under Project Halcon, an emerging requirement to replace its aging EF-18 Hornets. Why Is The E-Scan So Important? BAE Systems says the Typhoon E-Scan will “deliver the largest electronically scanned array for increased detection and tracking ranges, advanced air-to-surface capability and enhanced electronic protection measures. The large airframe also allows a wider field of regard than any other platform.” The antenna at the front-end of the E-Scan is mounted on a swashplate repositioner, that allows a much wider field-of-regard in terms of angular coverage (azimuth) compared with a fixed-plate antenna. It provides the ability to slew the antenna to “look” at far greater angles off the centerline of the aircraft. As such, a Typhoon could be traveling perpendicular to its target while still maintaining lock. This unique capability enables some highly unique tactics, which can be especially for non-stealthy fourth-generation fighter aircraft, that you can read all about in this past piece of ours. Eurofighter says “The Captor-E electronically scanned radar is the future primary sensor on Eurofighter Typhoon and has a full suite of air-to-air and air-to-surface modes. The capacious aperture of the Eurofighter Typhoon allows the installation of Captor-E’s optimized and repositionable array whose field of regard is some 50 percent wider than traditional fixed plate systems.” A different repositioner system that looks to achieve the same goal is used by the Saab JAS 39 Gripen E for its Leonardo ES-05 Raven AESA radar, which you can read more about here. One Radar Becomes Three Details regarding the Captor-E test program since 2016 have been limited, although in Italy, Leonardo’s test aircraft Instrumented Series Production Aircraft 6 (ISPA 6) was reconfigured to full Kuwaiti Air Force standard and it returned to flight on December 23, 2019, to commence trials from Leonardo Aircraft Division in Turin-Caselle, Italy. The aircraft became the third to carry the Captor-E and it is in Phase 3 Enhancement Package b (P3Eb) standard, which is the latest multi-role configuration — the standard specified for Kuwait. Eurofighter said that ISPA 6 has been used to refine Electronic Counter-Countermeasures (ECCM) for the radar and for software release certification flights. While the baseline Captor-E is an integral part of the four-nation development program for the Eurofighter, there are actually three different variants of the radar. Kuwait and Qatar will receive the Mk 0 version, which was previously known as “Radar 1+.” The order for Germany and Spain will deliver 110 Mk 0 systems, but they will be subsequently upgraded to Mk 1 standard, which is a step-up in capability. Leonardo remains the industry lead on the Captor-E Mk 0 radar and the company will provide “knowledge transfer” to enable Hensoldt to assume the role of design authority for the Mk 1 upgrade, with Leonardo continuing to provide the processor for this radar variant. The upgrade is thought to include the provision of new Transmit-Receive Modules (TRMs) for the antenna and a new multi-channel digital receiver. This is to be embodied initially as an upgrade and then via new-build radars. Meanwhile, the Royal Air Force in the United Kingdom is targeting a third, altogether more advanced and more clandestine version of Captor-E, dubbed “Radar 2.” This is shaping up as potentially the most capable of all the Typhoon E-Scan radars, although officials are staying tight-lipped about its capabilities. According to RAF sources, “Radar 2” is “the preferred capability pathway for operating it in a true contested environment with a radar that can do more than just support air-to-air weapons and provide situational awareness.” RAF pilots have always been swift to praise the legacy mechanically-scanned Captor, but procurement chiefs have robustly laid out ambitious plans to retrofit a small fleet of Tranche 3 jets with the new “Radar 2.” This will include additional electronic attack and secure data-link modes, whereby the radar is used as a high-bandwidth communications node and to make pinpoint electronic attacks. A number of secretive and lengthy technology demonstrator projects, including one named “Bright Adder,” have been leveraged to develop technology and mission requirements for “Radar 2.” The United Kingdom’s Strategic Defense and Security Review in 2015 stated: “We will continue to enhance its multirole capabilities and integrate an Active Electronically Scanned Array radar.” According to a 2018 House of Commons Defense Committee document, “Radar 2” was then “in the assessment phase.” It added: “we anticipate Ministry of Defence Main Gate investment approval in the latter half of 2019. We expect that the new radar will be embodied on 40 Tranche 3 Typhoons.” Leonardo Electronics Division is leading the RAF E-Scan program from an industry perspective. Its laboratory in Crewe Toll, North Edinburgh, Scotland, is thought to host the technology for the “Radar 2” program, now referred to by the company as Captor-E Mk 2. The next likely phase of the United Kingdom project would appear to be a move into live flight trials aboard a Eurofighter at BAE Systems’ Warton Aerodrome, but this has not been confirmed. A far clearer picture of the overall Captor-E program is now forming and getting Typhoons with an E-Scan into service is a vital step in cementing the future credibility of the fighter, both for existing users and potential new customers. An AESA radar is an intrinsic part of what a modern fighter aircraft must bring to the air combat arena. While competitors have passed the Typhoon by in this critical technological regard over the last decade and a half, that is finally about to change. In many ways, the Typhoon will finally be able to become all that it can be with this long-overdue reality sensor technology, and the RAF looks slated to get the most capable of the soon to be realized Captor-Es.

This report covers three different topics that have influenced and defined simulation. Prior to 1965 the Space Race, with its lofty goals of orbital missions and lunar landings, required the development of simulators that were of sophistication previously unheard of. Beginning in the 1980’s simulation continued to mature, especially in networking, and achieved measureable results starting with the Canadian Armor Trophy Competition in 1987 and culminating in the success of the United States and its allies in Operation Desert Storm. Finally, due to a push by the United States military, the field of medical simulation has seen huge growth since the 1980’s and has helped to save countless lives. These three topics, among many others, have contributed to massive growth in the simulation field. With simulation it is possible to plan, practice and analyze at a much lower cost than was previously possible. THE SPACE RACE Beginning in 1959 when the Project Mercury astronauts began training in Langley, VA it was immediately apparent that unlike typical testing where one can test and then make adjustments, to get an American in space meant that every possible contingency had to be thought out in advance. For America’s first venture into manned space flight, examining every contingency meant developing simulators that were on a whole new level of sophistication. The simulators that were developed for Mercury were state of the art, they featured analog computers with fully functioning displays and gauges that reacted to input from the astronauts; “when an astronaut fires thrusters, the simulator must activate readouts and lights showing the thrusters firing, fuel reducing, velocity changes, and also show movement in the scene outside the cabin window.” (Tomayko) Simulators were also created on top of hydraulics to simulate the motion an astronaut would experience during a mission. “NASA required hundreds of training hours in high fidelity simulators....

Montabone, L.; Lewis, Stephen R.; Read, Peter L.; Conrath, Barney J.; Pearl, John C. and Smith, Michael D. Assimilation of TES data from the Mars Global Surveyor scientifc mapping phase. In: First International Workshop on Mars atmosphere modelling and observations, 13-15 Jan 2003, Granada, Spain. Full text available as: The Thermal Emission Spectrometer (TES)aboard Mars Global Surveyor has produced data which cover almost two Martian years so far (during its scientific mapping phase). Thermal profiles for the atmosphere below 40 km and total dust opacities can be retrieved from TES nadir spectra and assimilated into a Mars general circulation model (MGCM), by using the assimilation techniques described in detail by Lewis et al. (2002). This paper describes some preliminary results from assimilations of temperature data from the period Ls=141°- 270° corresponding to late northern summer until winter solstice on Mars. Work in progress is devoted to assimilate both temperature and total dust opacity data for the full period for which they are already available. Actions (login may be required)

Today, people mostly know Boeing as the manufacturer of airplanes that deliver them to their vacations. But in World War II Boeing built the bombers that delivered justice to Nazis and freedom to occupied Europe. The Boeing Store at Pilot Mall carries dozens of items both retro and modern, including pins patches, lanyards, letter openers, keychains, and T-shirts. From the B-17 to the 747, Boeing’s aircraft have played essential roles in American military and civilian life. No matter your reasons for loving the company, express your respect with officially licensed gifts. Boeing is one of the largest aerospace and defense companies in the world. While non-pilots may not be familiar with brands like Cessna and Piper, many people fly on commercial Boeing aircraft every day. The Boeing Company was founded in 1916 in Seattle, Washington by William E. Boeing and Conrad Westervelt. One of the company's first planes was a twin-float seaplane named B & W in honor of the company's founders. During World War II, Boeing played a valuable role in military aviation. Its B-17 and B-29 bombers helped give the allies an advantage over Axis powers during that time. After WWII, Boeing continued to develop defense technology and commercial aircraft, and it quickly grew into the global company of today. One of Boeing's newest aircraft is the 777-200LR Worldliner. This record-breaking aircraft includes enhancements in engine efficiency and drag reduction that give it a longer range than any other commercially-available aircraft. In November of 2005, the 777-200LR Worldliner set a new world record for a non-stop 11,664 nm (21,601 km) flight. For the Boeing enthusiast, Pilot Mall offers Boeing Store t shirts and other Boeing Store apparel. With a wide selection of Boeing merchandise, it's easy to find the perfect gift for a loved one at Pilot Mall.

After I slept in today, we went to the Air & Space museum in Denver! It’s like an airplane museum. We flew in a flight simulator! First we looked at some airplanes and a space shuttle that was made for NASA! All the airplanes and stuff were in a big hangar. Later we went into a room with a lot of flight simulators! First we watched a short film about how to do it and then we started flying. We learned how to take off, make a good landing and fly and shot at targets! It was fun! After that we just walked around and looked at everything and watched a short movie about harrison ford and when he went here! He’s actually a pilot, didn’t know that! We went to a diner called Gunther Toody’s for dinner. They are famous for their milkshakes so I had an oreo shake and a sandwich w/ fries 🙂 I see why they are famous cause it was so good!

Nepal Helicopter tour is a unique opportunity to explore the geographical territories on Nepal such as several Himalayan ranges and the Terai Flatland have become popular destination includes Everest range, Annapurna range. The helicopter uses natural excursion along with the attractive flight from less visible and remote areas of Nepal. Helicopter charter flight is relatively expensive than the other flight but effective for large trips in the limit time schedule. Helicopter charter service made the pilgrimage tour, mountain rescue, best Himalayan views with fast deliveries and easy. Helicopter tours in Nepal are economic in time; we have several areas of helicopter sightseeing in Nepal. Mostly every helicopter leaves from Kathmandu International Airport on Nepal and drops the same.

Lunar lander startup Qosmosys secured a staggering $100M in seed funding to help it bring its ZeusX lander to the Moon in just four years, the startup announced last week. “This landmark investment represents a pivotal moment for both Qosmosys and the broader space exploration sector,” said Qosmosys chief Francois Dubrulle. That’s one big seed: The $100M investment is a massive haul for a seed round in any industry. The investment is particularly notable considering the Singapore-based company was founded just three years ago and has largely been operating under the radar. ZeusX lunar lander: The company is betting big on the growth of the lunar economy and resulting demand for consistent lunar landing capabilities. Earlier this year, Qosmosys partnered with Airbus to build its flagship product, the ZeusX spacecraft. The 8m-tall spacecraft will consist of three modules: - The service module, which will power the spacecraft to lunar orbit. - A lightweight lunar lander. - Its Lunar Integrated Bulk Extraction Rover (LIBER) to mine the lunar surface. Qosmosys and Airbus are designing the spacecraft to transport 500 kg to lunar orbit and 800 kg to the surface. The company aims to fly its first ZeusX to the Moon in 2027, with a follow-up mission in 2029. Lunar economy: The company will focus on serving customers in three sectors: robotics, research, and mining. Qosmosys is particularly interested in extracting Helium-3, which exists in abundance on the lunar surface. The isotype is highly sought after due to its potential use as nuclear fuel—and is more valuable than gold on Earth.

A complainant had claimed that a phrase in the charity's literature about the aircraft on display being "the only complete examples in the world" was misleading on two counts. The complainant said the wording was misleading because many of the aircraft in the museum were also on display in other museums in the UK and Europe. They also said the aircraft were not original models, but had been rebuilt using materials from other aircraft. But the ASA ruled that readers would "interpret the claim in context", understanding that the museum's Mosquito Nightfighter and Halifax Bomber were the only complete examples in the world and that the claim did not to refer to all 40 aircraft on display. The watchdog also "noted that the leaflet did not claim to offer original models of any of the aircraft on display" and said readers were likely to understand that some aircraft might have required rebuilding or restoration. A museum spokesman welcomed the verdict. "The text endeavours to do justice to the significance of some of our rare aircraft and to give an indication as to the wide variety of these on display, within a restricted number of words," he said. "However, we will take this rare complaint as constructive criticism for the future."

As a part of their ambitious plan to build an interconnected internet network with thousands of satellites which they call Constellation in the space business to deliver high speed internet connection to anyone on the planet, SpaceX, on March 4, launched an entirely new batch of 60 Starlink internet satellites into orbit. What made this attempt special is that it came after a failed Falcon 9 rocket to land the booster on the drone ship in the Atlantic Ocean on Feb.15. That incident broke their own record of 25-booster recovery streak. The technical reason for that is because of what Benji Reed, senior director for human spaceflight programs at SpaceX, commented on: “A little bit of hot gas got to where it’s not supposed to be, and it caused that engine to shut down,” Despite all that, this mission was accomplished with not much trouble when the booster returned to earth to land for its 8th successful landing on SpaceX’s drone ship, “Of Course I Still Love You”, in the Atlantic Ocean. During a live webcast of the launch, A Dragon propulsion engineer at SpaceX, Youmei Zhou, said: “And we have confirmation of our successful stage one landing. This will mark our 75th successful recovery of an orbital class rocket and the eighth recovery of this particular booster.” This latest mission is SpaceX’s 6th mission in 2021 and the 20th SpaceX Starlink mission launching over 1200 Starlink satellites into orbit, including some satellites that are no longer working. All of that is a part of the company’s plan to reach the number of 1440 satellites in space and interestingly, the company has sought approval for tens of thousands more. This whole mission is a part of SpaceX’s money raising plan to develop and fund their mission of sending astronauts to Mars, The comment came from Elon Musk, the famous centibillionaire and the chief designer of SpaceX saying: “We see this as a way for SpaceX to generate revenue that can be used to develop more and more advanced rockets and spaceships,” “We believe we can use the revenue from Starlink to fund Starship,” Musk added. The Starship will be designed to be a fully reusable launch system that will be able to board over one hundred space travelers from and to the moon and mars. So SpaceX is operating a huge project to have the majority of satellites orbiting around the earth in just two years. Musk has already confirmed that the company now has sufficient capital to get to an operational level, competing with Softbank-backed OneWeb, Amazon’s Project Kuiper, Canadian operator Telesat and more. These ambitious satellite networks will require intensive capital, with some industry officials estimating costs running as high as $5 billion.

Round-the-Rim Flight In its desire to test the long-range capabilities of the airplane, the Air Service decided to fly a Glenn Martin bomber completely around the periphery of the U.S. The flight, which began at Bolling Field, Washington, D.C., on July 24, 1919, was made in a counterclockwise direction. Since time and speed were not factors, the flight proceeded leisurely westward across the northern states, down the Pacific Coast, and eastward along the Mexican border and across the southern states, arriving back at Bolling on Nov. 9, 1919. The total distance of approximately 10,000 miles was flown in 114 hours, 45 minutes. This was a tremendous achievement for such an early period in the development of the multi-engine bomber.
