The University of Missouri-Rolla and Boeing will work together to develop new manufacturing methods for the aerospace industry and the U.S. Air Force through a $7.3 million federal contract.
The contract is the largest federal contract ever received by the university and will establish the Centre for Aerospace Manufacturing Technologies on the campus.
Through the centre, UMR researchers will work with Boeing and the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, to develop new methods for manufacturing aircraft components as well as to promote new training and education programs for the aerospace industry.
The new centre will be housed in UMR’s mechanical and aerospace engineering department and will facilitate research and development in advanced simulation, composites manufacturing and electronic materials processing, high-speed machining, abrasive slurry cutting, rapid prototyping, laser materials processing, friction stir processing, non-chrome coating, non-destructive evaluation.
The project will involve roughly 50 graduate students from a number of disciplines, says Dr. Ming Leu, the Keith and Pat Bailey Missouri Distinguished Professor in Integrated Product Development. Leu will direct the new centre.
""It is critical to our national security that our aerospace industry remains the most innovative in the world,"" says U.S. Sen. Kit Bond, R-Mo., who as a senior member of the Senate Appropriations Committee secured the project funds in the fiscal year 2004 Defense Appropriations bill. ""The new Centre for Aerospace Manufacturing Technologies will help us find new and better ways to build planes. Also, it is programs like this that ensure the University of Missouri-Rolla will continue to be a magnet for top-notch students.""
The grant is for about two years, but the university hopes to continue the project at least five to 10 years. The preliminary research is to be done July 2006.
Renegade Materials recently celebrated General Electric’s first shipment of a GE Passport Engine shipset built with the company’s RM-1100 polyimide high-service temperature composite prepregs.
New Zealand company Revolution Fibres is tripling nanofibre production to meet increased international demand from a range of industries, from cosmetics manufacturers through to Formula One teams.
US company Web Industries has opened its first European sales office in Hamburg, Germany.

Maybe we could extend this argument to all of the rocks on mars, dots in the sky, night vision videos, alien puppet videos,chinese lantern videos,
balloons in Mexico, bugs in spots lights at football games, camera recording lights reflected in windows, spirals crated by missile launches gone
wrong, rc copters,solar balloons, birds flying in formation , planes coming into land, LED kites, satellites, the international space station, pixel
anomalies on solar recordings caused by radiation, debris floating around the space station..etc etc
TBH ive never seen a UFO video that i didn't think was a mis identification or fake.

The first 21-meter-long front fuselage section for the Airbus A350 XWB has begun to take shape in Saint-Nazaire, France, where mechanics have begun joining the forward fuselage and nose sections, the European manufacturer announced last week. Once it completes the body join, the company plans to send the finished component via Beluga transport to the A350 XWB final assembly line in Toulouse.
The forward fuselage section, built by Germany’s Premium Aerotec, joins directly with the nose section, already assembled at Airbus in Saint-Nazaire from components produced by France’s Aerolia.
Airbus plans to use the assembly in the program’s static test airframe–the first A350 XWB scheduled for construction. The first “flyable” airframe for MSN1, one of the five flight-test aircraft Airbus plans to build, will follow closely behind, said the company. It will use the static airframe solely for ground tests meant to demonstrate the aircraft’s ability to sustain certification loads and provide key data ahead of the first flight in the first half of 2013.
Separately, Aviation Partners (API) last week responded to a lawsuit filed against it by Airbus for what the European manufacturer characterizes as coercion to pay royalties for patent infringement.
“We are certainly surprised by the lawsuit attempting to invalidate our patent on blended winglets after working closely with Airbus over the past five years,” said Aviation Partners founder and CEO Joe Clark. “We have had many meetings with their engineering group and top executives, both in America and Europe.
“We have built and flown patented blended winglets on the Airbus A320 in Toulouse,” Clark added. “We have flown them on one of JetBlue’s A320s using JetBlue flight crews with excellent results achieved—a 5-percent fuel savings—all of this with the cooperation of Airbus…What I can tell you is that we will vigorously protect our patented technology and intellectual property…”
In its complaint, filed on December 1 in U.S. District Court in Austin, Texas, Airbus alleges that API has, by demanding royalties, charged Airbus with infringing the Blended Winglet patent in its design of the A318, A319 and A320 narrowbodies.
Airbus claims that the patent is invalid “for failure to comply with one or more of the statutory requirements for patentability.”
“API’s threats are a significant hindrance to Airbus and, without an early resolution, place Airbus at a competitive disadvantage,” the complaint reads.

Characteristics of Sudden Commencements Observed by Van Allen Probes in the Inner Magnetosphere
We have statistically studied sudden commencement (SC) by using the data acquired from Van Allen Probes (VAP) in the inner magnetosphere (L = 3.0\textendash6.5) and GOES spacecraft at geosynchronous orbit (L =\~ 6.7) from October 2012 to September 2017. During the time period, we identified 85 SCs in the inner magnetosphere and 90 SCs at geosynchronous orbit. Statistical results of the SC events reveal the following characteristics. (1) There is strong seasonal dependence of the geosynchronous SC amplitude in the radial BV component at all local times. However, BV shows weak seasonal variation on the dayside in the inner magnetosphere. (2) The local time dependence of the SC amplitude in the compressional BH component at geosynchronous orbit is similar to that in the inner magnetosphere. (3) In a nightside region of L = 5.0\textendash6.5, \~19\% of BH events are negative, while \~58\% of BH events are negative at geosynchronous orbit. (4) The amplitude of the SC-associated Ey perturbations varies systematically with local time with a morning-afternoon asymmetry near noon. These observations can be explained by spatial and/or temporal changes in the magnetopause and cross-tail currents, which are caused by changes in the solar wind dynamic pressure, with respect to spacecraft positions.

The Solar Impulse 2 plane that's powered entirely by the sun, has completed its historic round-the-world journey.
After leaving Cairo on 23 July, it touched back down in Abu Dhabi where it originally started from in March 2015.
The 17-stage journey covered over 42,000km, crossing four continents, three seas and two oceans.
The team set 19 official flight records during the global adventure, which they used to promote renewable energy.
The pilots said it was an amazing adventure, despite sitting in a freezing cold cockpit for as long as five days and five nights at a time, not having enough room to stretch their arms, have a shower, or even go to the toilet properly.
SIX SOLAR IMPULSE 2 FACTS
- The longest leg of the journey was an 8,924km flight from Nagoya in Japan to Hawaii in the USA - it lasted nearly 118 hours and broke the absolute world record for the longest solo flight without a break.
- The Solar Impulse 2 plane is 72m wide, that's 3.5m wider than a Boeing 747-81 jumbo jet
- Most planes weigh hundreds of tonnes, but the Solar Impulse only weighs the same as a car
- The plane has 17000 solar cells which store the energy of the sun and use it to power the Solar Impulse 2's batteries.
- The cockpit is only the size of a telephone box. The pilots have to wear oxygen tanks to breathe at high altitude, they're only allowed to only sleep for 20 minutes at a time, and if they have to wee, there's a special hole in the pilot's seat!
- One of the pilots - Bertrand Piccard - was also the first person to travel non-stop around the world in this hot air balloon. It was in 1999 and took 19 days, 21 hours, and 47 minutes.

Bat R-Bat on display Northrop Grumman offices in Rancho Bernardo photo Alex Fuller - UT San Diego
Nov. 30, 2013 By Jeanette Steele – utsandiego.com
Vice president talks about capabilities of smaller UAVs
Northrop Grumman, which engineers the Navy’s Fire Scout unmanned helicopter and the Air Force’s Global Hawk surveillance plane in San Diego, recently showed off two smaller drones at the company’s burgeoning Rancho Bernardo offices.
The defense giant has 2,000 employees at its San Diego “unmanned systems center of excellence” and recently took occupancy of an eighth building there.
And it wants to expand into new territory.
U-T San Diego spoke to George Vardoulakis, Northrop Grumman vice president for medium-range tactical systems, about the two smaller drones, the Bat and the R-Bat. He also discussed the new, beefed-up Navy Fire Scout.
Q: Give us the five-minute tour of the Bat and R-Bat.
A: Let’s start off with the Bat. This is a 12-foot aircraft with a “blended wing” body. Right now, we are in the flight test phase. We are testing these aircraft out in Yuma, Ariz. It’s got a six- to eight-hour flying endurance.
This is the R-Bat. It flies with the same control system as the fixed-wing aircraft, so we are leveraging the vehicle management computer between these two.
This one here is just for our guys to play with. It gives our engineers the opportunity to test our software and experiment.
Q: What has Bat been used for to date?
A: Bat was deployed to Afghanistan (with the U.S. Special Operations Command) for intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance. It was doing improvised explosive device (roadside bomb) detection for our troops.
As part of the drawdown, we brought it back home, and we’re doing additional tests. And we’re scaling from this 12-foot aircraft up to 18 and 20 feet.
Q: What are the applications in the future for these two UAVs?
A: Ideally, the R-Bat in the commercial world is used for agriculture. Farmers will do crop dusting in their fields. Today they do that with a remotely piloted joystick. In the future, at some point when the Federal Aviation Administration clears it, they could do something like that autonomously.
Q: “Autonomous” means the drone is programmed to fly a specific route, as opposed to a hands-on operator “flying it” when it is in the air?
A: We not only preprogram it to run a route, but it can also be dynamically tasked. So, while it is running those autonomous routes, we can actually intervene and say, “I’d like to continue to loiter here, or move from there to that point.”
Q: It seems like drones are the way of the future, and not just for U.S. military use. Are there other commercial applications for these two drones?
A: The reality is they will eventually be used for a lot of things. Beyond agriculture — going up and down pipelines, looking for oil leaks in the Arctic.
Doing border surveillance, outfitting them with sensors for illegal immigration — aircraft are doing that today. Going out to oil rigs to move cargo and food supplies back and forth.
At some point in the military application, medevacs in a hostile environment. There’s an unlimited number of applications.
Q: What about public use? Some people might like to own one of these themselves.
A: I don’t think we are ready for that yet. There are security concerns, public privacy concerns. I think we all have to work our way through that. We’re working closely with the FAA to make sure that we can harmoniously fly unmanned aircraft with manned aircraft. It’s early in that process. And we want to make sure that we are bringing standards of autonomy up to a level where all of us feel comfortable, so that no matter who makes it, it’s done right and safe.
Q: Let’s talk about the MQ-8C Fire Scout, the unmanned helicopter that will deploy on Navy warships.
A: (Behind me) is the second test aircraft. It’s on its way to Point Mugu (Navy base in Ventura County).
We’ve got six months of flight testing in front of us. On the back side of that flight test period, we’re going to go out to a littoral combat ship to do dynamic interface testing. And then the Navy will be deploying these things.
Q: If these are test vehicles, when will regular production Fire Scout C’s start making an appearance?
A: The very first production aircraft will be here in a month. We are delivering an aircraft to Point Mugu every month.
Q: These will deploy with San Diego Navy ships. But we won’t see them in the skies over San Diego, correct?
A: Right now the military plans on deploying these things overseas, when they are out in international waters and/or over combatant areas. We don’t have FAA clearance to fly these in FAA airspace. Unfortunately! We’d all like to see these things flying at places other than Point Mugu.
Q: Talk about Northrop’s unmanned center in San Diego. As the use of drones grows, so do jobs here?
A: We do all our design and development work here for not only the medium-range, medium-altitude portfolio that I run … but also the high-altitude, long-endurance team just down the street.
So Global Hawks, Tritons, Euro Hawks, Fire Scouts, Fire Birds, Bats — all developed here. All of our advance programs, which are the future of unmanned aviation, are also born here.
We are growing, continuing to expand. We’ve moved folks from New York and Florida who were working on our autonomous systems to San Diego to join the rest of the family.

MOSCOW, July 1 (RIA Novosti)
- Soyuz Reentry Capsule Undocks from Space Station
- Three Space Station Crew Members Head Back to Earth
- New Space Station Crew Confirmed
- New Crew Docks at Space Station
A Soyuz reentry capsule with three members of the International Space Station (ISS) crew landed safely in Kazakhstan on Sunday, mission control said.
Russian cosmonaut Oleg Kononenko, NASA astronaut Don Pettit and European Space Agency astronaut Andre Kuipers have spent more than six months in orbit.
While in orbit, the crew performed one space walk and several docking and undocking operations. They also conducted more than 30 scientific research experiments.
Three other ISS crew members - Russia’s Gennady Padalka and Sergei Revin and NASA astronaut Joe Acaba - will remain in orbit.
NASA astronaut Suni Williams, Russian cosmonaut Yury Malenchenko and Japanese astronaut Aki Hoshide are expected to arrive at the ISS on July 15 on board a Soyuz TMA-05M spaceship to replace the outgoing crew.

The growing outright rivalry between the United States and China gives Russia more foreign policy weight, enabling it to assume the role of a balancer. So far it has been doing so rather skillfully. Today it may participate in a joint naval exercise with China that Beijing positions as outwardly anti-American. But tomorrow it can team up with the naval forces of the Old World.

Jeff Bezos thinks that one day a human baby will be born in space. According to one of the world’s richest people, a colony will be formed in space in the future. From there, people can easily travel around the world, just like people go to Yellowstone National Park.
At a recent event in Washington, DC, Jeff Bezos expressed his belief. He also named the possible space colony — O’Neill Space Colony.
According to Jeff Bezos, founder of Amazon and Blue Origin, people will build giant cylinders in space after a few centuries, according to the UK tabloid Daily Star. Rivers, forests and even wild environments will be created in them. These cylinders will be the abode of millions of people. Where there is no rain, there will be no risk of earthquakes.
Blue Origin is a spacecraft manufacturer. The company presented the idea of establishing a colony in space in 2019. Referring to that, Jeff Bezos said, “In a few centuries, many people will be born into space, which will be their first home. They will live there and travel the world, just as you would in Yellowstone National Park. ‘
In 1966, Princeton physicist Gerard O’Neill first proposed the idea of establishing a colony in space. In his memory, Jeff Bezos named O’Neill Space Colony a possible colony in space.
Gerard O’Neill thought that no other planet outside the Earth would be suitable for human habitation. Jeff Bezos agrees. However he acknowledged that their numbers were not enough to defeat Mars. In that case, 100 to 200 crore people could easily go there. ‘However, Jeff Bezos thinks that such a transformation of Mars is very challenging.

A new “Rocket Plume” RGB with ABI Data
A new RGB has been developed to highlight possible Rocket Plumes from the Advanced Baseline Imagers (ABI) imagery. Many Red-Green-Blue (RGB) composite image recipes can be applied to the GOES (Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite) ABI data. Owing to the new spectral bands, finer spatial resolutions and more applications, there are new RGBs to be considered. Many questions should be considered when you develop an RGB: is there an existing RGB that could be used/modified or does a derived product that highlights the feature of interest. Other factors include: spectral bands, band order, bands differences, band ranges, difference ranges, gamma factor, color contrasts, inverting any ranges, etc. The “rocket plume” RGB uses the 3.9, 6.2 and 0.64 (or 1.6 during the night) micrometer bands. A “quick guide” has been generated to summary this RGB. To simplify any operational use, the “daytime” rocket plume RGB can be used both during the day and night. The main use of this RGB is for a quick-look or situational awareness. While most users will not need to develop their own RGB, understanding the process makes it easier for users of existing RGBs to appreciate what an RGB is and is not. Thanks to Bill Line, there’s AWIPS — Advanced Weather Interactive Processing System (xml) code to display this RGB.
Examples (in reverse chronically order)
Test engine burn
The above case was a core stage test rocket burn near Stennis Space Center for a NASA SLS rocket. This was a “test of only the core stage which burns LH2 and LOX making lots of water vapor, and the test remained on the earth surface, and it made a very large low altitude water vapor, which was detected by the visible bands.” Note these NASA TV image1, image2, image3 for an SLS event (in September of 2020). This March case only had 5 minute ABI data and the location did not get as hot as an actual rocket launch. A still image from 20:41 UTC shows a very slight blue hint, from the ABI high resolution visible band.
SpaceX launch of the Sentinel-6 satellite
SpaceX crewed mission
Antares rocket launch from Wallops Flight Facility
NOAA GOES-16 and -17 ABI data are via the University of Wisconsin-Madison SSEC Satellite Data Services. These images were made using the geo2grid software, developed at the UW/SSEC. More GOES-16 and -17 imagery and other information, including the SIFT software developed at UW/SSEC to quickly test RGB changes. Thanks also to Todd Beltracchi and T. Garner and S. Bachmeier for their expertise.

As an astronaut on all three of NASA's early space missions in
the 1960s, Walter M. "Wally" Schirra Jr. orbited the Earth many
times, capturing the imagination of a generation with his daring,
bravery and commitment to space travel.
Even after his days of orbiting the Earth had passed, his
commitment to space exploration burned on, several people who knew
him said Thursday. Schirra had a zeal for teaching others about
space and the importance of math and science for the future of the
Schirra died of heart failure early Thursday morning after a
battle with cancer, a friend of the family said Thursday from the
Rancho Santa Fe home where the 84-year-old Schirra lived for more
than 20 years.
In 1996, he visited Poway's Valley Elementary School to talk to
8-year-old Billy Smeal's third-grade class about the wonders of
Reached by phone Thursday, Smeal, now 19, said he remembers that
"He talked about how he hoped we would eventually go to Mars,"
Smeal said. "It made me want to strive for something that was
great, because if we can make it to the moon, we can make anything
The former Navy fighter pilot's penchant for teaching others
about space travel revealed itself during the famous moonwalk of
Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong, Bob Yehling, author of "One Giant
Leap for Mankind," said in a phone interview Thursday.
On that historic July night in 1969, Schirra served as co-anchor
with Walter Cronkite, helping in TV coverage, providing a
blow-by-blow explanation of the unfolding events from an
astronaut's perspective. He kept his composure up until the moment
the men began their walk on the surface of the moon, Yehling
"He was on the verge of tears," Yehling said.
In a 2004 interview with the North County Times, Schirra said he
strongly believed in the importance of manned mission to Mars,
adding that the biggest benefit to such a mission would be exciting
a new generation about space travel.
"The Chinese space program has encourage some 600,000 kids a
year to study engineering, " Schirra said. "The Apollo program was
San Diego radio talk-show host Mark Larson said Thursday that he
met Schirra about 20 years ago.
"He would light up a room," Larson said, adding that Schirra
lived to "make young Americans feel the same passion that he
Larson said that well into his 80s, Schirra continued to keep
speaking engagements where he could talk endlessly without notes
about space exploration.
"He could have rested on his laurels, but he kept going out
there, staying interested, staying involved," Larson said.
For Vista businessman, former Navy pilot and longtime friend
Roger Boennighausen, Schirra was someone who earned the utmost
respect of fellow aviators.
"He was the kind of guy who lived and breathed naval aviation,
the kind of guy young aviators and old aviators cherished talking
Schirra was the only astronaut to fly in all three of NASA's
original manned spaceflight programs: Mercury, Gemini and Apollo.
Although he never walked on the moon, Schirra laid some of the
groundwork that made the lunar landings possible and won the space
race for the United States.
Schirra's Apollo mission in October 1968 restored the nation's
confidence in the space program, which had been shaken a year
earlier when three astronauts were killed in a fire on the launch
The next year, Schirra left NASA and retired from the Navy with
the rank of captain, having logged more than 295 hours in space. He
became a commentator with CBS.
"Mostly it's lousy out there," Schirra said in 1981 on the
occasion of the first space shuttle flight. "It's a hostile
environment, and it's trying to kill you. The outside temperature
goes from a minus 450 degrees to a plus 300 degrees. You sit in a
flying Thermos bottle."

New Delhi: The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has taken strict action against 63 SpiceJet pilots, the number which is more than ten per cent of its total pilot workforce, for operating flights beyond the maximum flying hours permitted by the safety regulator thereby putting passenger safety at risk.
Nearly 40 SpiceJet had violated the flight duty time limitations (FDTL) – the maximum hours a pilot can fly in a day prescribed by the safety regulator.
Non-stop flying can result in fatigue and may result in the pilots to doze off. Exhausted pilots are a sensitive issue with regulators worldwide and have been the cause of several fatal air crashes.
“During surveillance and subsequent scrutiny of records it has been revealed that 63 pilots of Spicejet had operated flights exceeding flight duty period,” Jayant Sinha, Minister of State for aviation, told Lok Sabha on Thursday.
“Pilots who have exceeded flight duty period more than once have been suspended for 15 days. Warnings have been issued to pilots who have exceeded flight duty period only once,” he said.
The violations had been found on SpiceJet’s Amritsar-Dubai and Dubai-Kozhikode flights operated by the same set of pilots in a single day. “To operate the morning flight from Amritsar, pilots were found to be taking the early morning flight from Delhi, which is also added up in the duty hours. They were reaching Kozhikode from Dubai late at night,” said an official. Kozhikode is one of the 11 airports designated as “critical” by the DGCA.

Vietnam carriers sign agreements for 40 Airbus airplanes
Update: September, 07/2016
Leaders of Airbus and Vietnam Airlines pose for photo after the signing ceremony. - Photo Vietnam Airlines
Viet Nam News
HÀ NỘI — Several Vietnamese air carriers yesterday signed agreements with European aircraft maker Airbus in Hà Nội to buy 40 airplanes during an official visit by President Francois Hollande.
According to a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed by Dương Trí Thành, President and CEO of Vietnam Airlines, and Fabrice Brégier, Airbus President & CEO, in the presence of President Hollande and President Trần Đại Quang, the national carrier Vietnam Airlines will buy 10 A350-900 aircraft, which will enable Vietnam Airlines to operate flights non-stop to the United States, carrying 305 passengers in a three class premium layout.
The carrier last year became the first airline in East Asia and the second in the world to operate the A350-900 XWB. It already has four aircraft in service, with another 10 on order for future delivery.
Thành said the intent to acquire these additional aircraft reflected VNA’s excellent experience with the A350 since it entered the carrier’s service last year.
"With its very long-range capability, economic fuel consumption and spacious cabin design, the A350 is the suitable aircraft for our proposed intercontinental routes to Europe and the United States. The start of non-stop transpacific services with the A350 is yet another example of the commitment we have at Vietnam Airlines to strengthen our position as one of the world’s leading international carriers," Thành said.
The new generation aircraft is a crucial factor in ensuring Vietnam Airlines’ 4-star service quality, which could be upgraded to 5-star service in the near future.
On the same day, low-cost carrier Jetstar Pacific, a joint venture between Vietnam Airlines and Qantas Airways (Australia), officially inked a contract with Airbus to buy 10 new generation Airbus A320 aircraft from Airbus.
The contract was signed by Jetstar Pacific’s chief executive officer Lê Hồng Hà and Brégier. The aircraft, which will be delivered in 2017, will help Jetstar Pacific expand its domestic and international flight network. Jetstar Pacific plans to increase its fleet to 30 Airbus A320 between 2016 and 2020.
“This order is a key milestone for our operation here in Việt Nam and beyond,” said Hà.
“These new aircraft will be used primarily to expand our international network. As competition grows in Việt Nam, we believe that the A320 and our value-based quality service will place us well to attract a growing share of the market," said Hà.
Brégier said, “We are pleased to sign our first purchase agreement with Jetstar Pacific.
“The order reinforces the position of the A320 as the single aisle aircraft of choice for airlines in Việt Nam. We look forward to developing further our partnership with Jetstar Pacific as it consolidates its position in the fast-growing South East Asian market.”
Low-cost private airline Vietjet yesterday clinched a deal valued at some US$2.39 billion with Airbus to buy 20 more A321 aircraft.
"Vietjet is benefitting from the very significant economies that come from operating a single aircraft family. For busier routes, the A321 combines higher capacity with the lowest operating costs in its class, offering unbeatable efficiency," Airbus President and CEO Fabrice Bregier said.
"We look forward to further developing our partnership with Vietjet, including working with the airline to develop its new training facility," he added.
The airplanes will be delivered to Vietjet from 2017 until 2020.
Vietjet is the first airline in Việt Nam to operate as a new-age airline with low costs and diversified services to meet customers’ demands.
Currently, the airline operates more than 250 flights per day. It operates 50 routes in Việt Nam and across the region to international destinations, such as Thailand, Singapore, South Korea and Taiwan, as well as mainland China, Myanmar and Malaysia. It has carried some 25 million passengers to date.
Further co-operation in aviation
In a related development, Brégier announced several new collaborative agreements to further contribute to the development of Việt Nam’s aerospace sector.
These cover increased industrial work, a project to enhance the country’s air traffic management system and support for the development of academic courses at graduate and post-graduate levels.
Airbus said Hà Nội-based Nikkiso Việt Nam had been awarded four new packages to produce composite parts for wide-body programmes.
They include torque boxes and cargo door components for the A350 XWB, and parts for wing tips and wing trailing edges for the A330neo. The deal follows an initial package, in place since 2014, to produce composite panels for wing tip sharklets on the single aisle A320 Family.
Airbus also signed an accord with Artus Việt Nam, a subsidiary of Meggitt PLC, which has been supplying electronic and electromechanical equipment for Airbus aircraft since 1996.
Under the agreement, the two companies will evaluate a significant increase in the production of Airbus components to be supplied by Artus Việt Nam over the next 10 years, as well as committing to work together to stimulate the development of the aerospace sector in Việt Nam.
In the area of infrastructure development, NAVBLUE, Airbus’s subsidiary dedicated to flight operations and air traffic management services, signed a letter of intent with Việt Nam Air Traffic Management to help enhance the efficiency of the country’s air traffic control system, especially around Hà Nội and HCM City.
Airbus signed two memoranda of understanding with the University of Sciences and Technology of Hà Nội (USTH), partner of the Vietnamese Academy of Sciences and Technologies.
One will see the company provide support and expertise for the creation of an aeronautics department at USTH, while the second covers the development of a specialised master’s degree in safety management systems in partnership with France’s Ecole Nationale de l’Aviation Civile.
Brégier said: “We are extremely pleased to take our relationship with Việt Nam to the next stage with these additional agreements. Việt Nam is one of the world’s fastest growing aviation markets and has great potential to develop a thriving aerospace business.”
“We look forward to increasing further our industrial presence in Vietnam in the coming years, as well as supporting developments in areas such as air traffic management, training and higher education.”

Humanity will sooner or later leave for Mars, but planning and executing the first manned mission on another planet is obviously a complex and costly undertaking.
Mars One was one of the first and most ambitious attempts to manned Mars mission from the ground. But it was terribly badly managed, shortsighted, and possibly even fraudulent. It is now dead as well.
Mars One – broken into a confusing mish-mash of a charitable foundation and a for-profit corporation – has accumulated millions of dollars of investors who consider the company's goal of creating a business to be promising Mars settlement. Needless to say, things did not work out.
Reports of the company's collapse, picked up by Reddit and discovered by Engadget, seem to indicate that the entire organization has run out of funds.
A Bankruptcy The Declaration seems to be the last nail in the coffin for the commercial efforts of Mars One and every mission that is still in its infancy.
But it's worth noting that this whole thing was a colossal mess right from the start, and the business model (if you can even call it that) was ridiculous.
The company had sucked money and paid royalties to the non-profit industry when it was trying to advance a Mars mission.
Early on, the company was aiming for a $ 6 billion budget to bring the first crew of four astronauts to Mars, which did not increase much.
Even if she somehow managed to scrape together six billion dollars, most experts agreed that it would not be enough to do the job.
And then there's the mission itself, which was poorly designed and would be incredibly dangerous if executed as the company had planned. The idea was that astronauts would make a one-way trip to Mars, set up the beginnings of a colony and then live their lives on the Red Planet.
Scientists cried from the beginning and said the plan was missing sustainability Travelers would probably die quickly if they could survive the journey at all.

Earlier this year we wrote about a sci fi inspired strip club opening in Las Vegas, and now Fox News tells us Playboy and Virgin Galactic are looking to bring a luxurious men's club to space?! The space grotto of sorts is designed to provide entertainment to those wealthy enough to afford tickets ($200,000) for Virgin Galactic's commercial space program set to launch later this year.
Among other features, there is to be a zero gravity dance floor, a spinning diner so visitors can eat their food without floating about, a game room, and Playboy bunnies flying on jet packs and serving drinks! Zero gravity dancing does sound like a good time and all, but I can't help draw some parallels between this and the Titanic (luxury craft, first of it's kind, reserved for the wealthy). If it does happen, let's just hope James Cameron's descendant makes a record breaking film about it.

NTSB Identification: LAX97FA086.
The docket is stored in the Docket Management System (DMS). Please contact Records Management Division
Accident occurred Sunday, January 12, 1997 in SAIPAN ISLAND, Northern Mariana Islands
Probable Cause Approval Date: 09/04/1998
Aircraft: Enstrom F28A, registration: N9087
Injuries: 2 Fatal,3 Serious.
NTSB investigators either traveled in support of this investigation or conducted a significant amount of investigative work without any travel, and used data obtained from various sources to prepare this aircraft accident report.
Shortly before 1510, the pilot started the helicopter's engine, then departed on a sightseeing tour flight around the island with two fare-paying passengers. The operator anticipated the flight would last between 0.5 and 0.7 hrs. For weight considerations, the fuel load had been reduced before takeoff by an estimated 10 gallons bringing the usable quantity to between 16 and 19 gallons, as estimated using a dipstick. About 1558, while cruising off shore & nearly parallel to the shoreline, witnesses observed the helicopter fly past while making sounds like its engine was sputtering, stalling, or cutting in and out. The helicopter's course remained unchanged, & seconds later, other witnesses heard a loud bang sound. The helicopter then entered a rapid descent, & impacted in about 2.5-foot-deep ocean water in front of a hotel where people were swimming. An exam of the wreckage revealed a main rotor blade had impacted & severed the tail rotor drive shaft. No evidence was found indicating the pilot had practiced autorotations in the Enstrom helicopter during the 4.5 months since becoming rotorcraft rated. During the structural airframe and engine examinations, no evidence was found of precipitating mechanical malfunctions. Calculations based on maximum anticipated fuel consumption rates, and approximations for the quantity of fuel on board, revealed fuel exhaustion could occur within 0.1 hour of the flight's duration.
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be: loss of engine power due to fuel exhaustion, resulting from improper planning/decision; and the pilot's abrupt handling of the flight controls, while maneuvering to avoid swimmers, which resulted in main rotor blade contact with the tail boom. A related factor was: the presence of swimmers in the emergency landing area, which likely motivated the pilot to alter his approach for a forced/autorotative landing. Full narrative available

The government has decided to allow airlines operating special flights to five countries from Saturday for stranded expatriate workers.
The flights will carry passengers to Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar, UAE and Singapore — from April 17 so that stranded Bangladeshi expatriate workers here can go back their workplaces.
The decision was taken on Thursday at a virtual inter-ministerial meeting attended by Foreign Minister Dr AK Abdul Momen.
“At the meeting, we have decided to allow the airlines to operate special flights to four Middle East countries and Singapore from April 17 so that our expatriate brothers can reach their host countries,” CAAB chairman Air Vice Marshal M Mafidur Rahman told media after the meeting.
A large numbers of expatriate Bangladeshi workers have been stuck here as the Civil Aviation Authority, Bangladesh (CAAB) imposed a ban on all commercial international and domestic flight operations for one week from April 14 to check the new spike of co
The ban has forced to cancel more than 500 regular flights as currently 70 to 75 flights have been operated to and from Dhaka per day.
The movement of chartered flights, cargo flights, air ambulance and special flights are kept out of the restriction.

- Guardian Angel TMD
The EAL-3 Guardian Angel TMD (Tactical Missile Defense) is a anti-air counter available to the USA as a rank five General's Promotion unlock.
The EAL-3 Guardian Angel entered service as part of the touted Tactical Missile Defense initiative in the early 2040s, which aimed to eliminate the risk of enemy missile systems including ATGMs, SAMs and even ballistic missiles in close coordination with American ground forces. After an extensive series of tests and evaluations, the Department of Defense signaled its approval for a plane whose distinct triple engine setup made it less susceptible to ground-based anti-aircraft fire than its more conventional competitors. The airframe went into serial production with a pinpoint accurate 150kW laser installed on its nose and an advanced sensor radome on its back. The Guardian Angel is also equipped with a sophisticated AI that can detect, identify, prioritise and neutralise missiles more quickly than a team of human operators as well as a large supply of infrared and radar countermeasures to protect itself. Due to its hefty pricetag of roughly 700 million dollars apiece, the EAL-3 can only be called into action by battlefield commanders with a full level 5 clearance.
Guardian Angel is an supportive generals power aircraft that intercepts any missiles and rockets and even distracting anti-air weapons if they reach target area in order to protect the generals power aircrafts. So, they can proceed bombers or ordinances to reach the target area without getting destroyed easily. They will aslo become untargetable when reach target area. Available in 5 rank level alongside Spectre Gunship.
Guardian Angel is excellent destroying lots of rockets and missiles, even ballistic missiles like Grumbles. It even has flares to protect GP aircraft like the A10, Carpet bomber and even the Spectre Gunship. The Guardian Angel will become untargetable when it reaches target area. The affect may last longer to enough distracting anti-air and decimating rockets and missiles.
Guardian Angel is not quite enough to fool anti-air vehicles after its flares dissipate while GP Aircraft are incoming making them vulnerable too. If you are facing human opponents not quite good for your GP aircrafts, because him/her will help to command to stop targeting flares so they can fire on your GP aircraft instead. Lots of heavy anti-air will soon destroy Guardian Angel since the flares coming closer to them.
When called in
- Laser support on the way.
- Tactical Missile Defense en route.
- Instruments locked on, General.

The U-2 , nicknamed Dragon Lady , is a single-seat, single-engine, high-altitude Surveillance aircraft flown by the United States Air Force.
It provides continuous day and night, high-altitude (70,000 ft, 21,000 m plus), all-weather surveillance of an area in direct support of U.S. and allied ground and air forces.
It also provides critical intelligence to decision-makers through all phases of conflict, including peacetime indications and warnings, crises, operations other than war, and major theater war.
The aircraft came to public attention during the U-2 Crisis when pilot Francis Gary Powers was shot down over Soviet territory on May 1, 1960.
On October 14, 1962, it was a U-2 from the 4080th Strategic Reconnaissance Wing that photographed the Soviet military installing nuclear warhead missiles in Cuba, precipitating the Cuban missile crisis.
Initially, Clarence "Kelly" Johnson adapted the F-104 Starfighter, replacing the low aspect ratio blade wings with extremely large glider type wings as a starting point. High aspect ratio wings give the U-2 some glider-like characteristics.
The aircraft is extremely challenging to fly, not only due to its unusual landing characteristics, but also because of the extreme altitudes it can reach.
When flying the U-2A and U-2C models (no longer in service) close to its operational ceiling, the maximum speed (critical mach) and the minimum speed (stall speed) approach the same number, presenting a narrow window of safe airspeed the plane must maintain.
In these models over 90% of a typical mission is flown within five knots of stall speed.
Its large wingspan and resulting glider-like characteristics make the U-2 highly sensitive to crosswinds. This sensitivity, and the aircraft's tendency to float over the runway, makes the U-2 notoriously difficult to land.
As the U-2 passes, the chase car follows it at high speed, with the mobile calling out the aircraft's altitude via radio to the pilot.
When the aircraft's main landing gear is within approximately two feet of the runway surface the pilot deploys spoilers located on the top of the wings to reduce lift (spoiling the lift and increasing the stall speed by 2 knots).
Retractable stall strips on the wings' leading edges that are deployed prior to entering the landing phase help to produce equal stalling effects.
This is done to minimize wing drop, assisting in aircraft control particularly during strong cross winds.
The aircraft carries a variety of sensors. The U-2 is capable of simultaneously collecting signals and imagery intelligence. Imagery intelligence sensors include either wet film photo, electro-optic or radar imagery -- the latter from the Raytheon ASARS-2 system. It can use both line-of-sight and beyond-line-of-sight data links.
It was thought a high altitude aircraft such as the U-2 would be hard to detect and impossible to shoot down. Lockheed Corporation was given the assignment with an unlimited budget and a short time frame. Its Skunk Works, headed by Clarence "Kelly" Johnson performed remarkably, and the first flight occurred in August 1955. Kodak also developed new cameras, which worked well. It made its first over-flight of the Soviet Union in June 1956.

Thai AirAsia flight FD9122 from Don Mueang Airport in Bangkok to Nan province in northern Thailand diverted to Chiang Mai Airport yesterday after getting caught in a hail storm.
After taking off from Bangkok at 5.25pm, the aircraft began experiencing turbulence upon almost reaching Nan Nakhon Airport, where it was scheduled to land at 6.45pm.
A passenger told Matichon that everyone on board was shocked and some people were crying. The plane was shaking, the passenger said.
The pilot circled the plane around to escape the storm before informing passengers that the aircraft couldn’t land in Nan due to the weather conditions. Instead, the pilot would divert to Chiang Mai Airport instead to wait for the storm to pass.
After waiting out the storm in Chiang Mai, the flight took off again, landing at Nan Nakhon Airport at 9.30pm.
Passengers applauded and thanked the pilot for deciding to redirect to keep them safe when the flight finally landed at its destination.
Consequently, flight FD9123 from Nan to Bangkok departed later than scheduled.
The passenger told Matichon that there were 200 passengers on board the redirected flight, which is possibly an exaggeration since the route is serviced by an Airbus A320-200 and Boeing 737-800s, neither of which can facilitate that many passengers. The flight also didn’t look full from the photos.
The storm caused damage to property in Ban Na Kuen in Kluea Nuea subdistrict, completely blowing the zinc rooves off some houses, reports Matichon.
No one was reported to be injured by the storm.

MOSCOW, August 20 (Itar-Tass) — The Russian cargo resupply spacecraft Progress, which has been circling in a near-Earth orbit for three weeks as a science laboratory, will be submerged in the Pacific on Monday, an official at the Mission Control Center (MCC) told Itar-Tass.
The MCC official said, "At 19:20, Moscow time, the engines of the Progress M-15M will be ignited for the purpose of deceleration. The spacecraft will begin to depart from orbit and approximately at 20:12 the unburnt fragments of the spacecraft will reach the surface of the Pacific Ocean".
The Progress undocked from the ISS on July 31 on a command from Earth and was brought to a lower orbit. "During the autonomous flight of the spacecraft, several sessions of the geophysical experiment Radar-Progress were held. The purpose of the experiment was to determine spatial-and-time dependencies of density, temperature, and composion of local ionospheric inhomogeneities arising as a result of the spacecraft engines' operation," the MCC official pointed out.
The Progress M-15M will be submerged in a specially assigned area of the Pacific, away from shipping lanes.

None of the aircraft operating for Etihad Crystal Cargo are painted in Etihad colors, but if they were this is how they would look. Though semi-fictional, I created this repaint because I'm sure many people would like to see the MDF in Etihad colors and if the airline decides to paint them or acquires them in the future, this repaint won't be fictional anymore. NWA has operated for Etihad so I have retained the original aircraft registration rather than give a fictional one. Hope you enjoy using this repaint. Textures only. Maybe you will like it. CP Air originally flew DC's and i really enjoy these old liveries where there is a lot aluminium and chrome. I'll probably paint some more of these, Enjoy!

Frequently Asked Questions
What is aerial imagery?
An image taken from an airborne craft such as a drone or plane. Types of aerial imagery include vertical, low oblique, and high oblique.
What is satellite imagery?
Images taken using a series of electronic scanners incorporated in satellites that orbit the Earth. Types of satellite imagery include visible, infrared, and water vapor.
What is the difference between aerial imagery and satellite imagery?
Aerial images capture finer details, the capture process is more time and cost-efficient, and they can be used for a wide range of industries - including construction, insurance, real estate, and urban planning.
Satellite imagery captures a wider area, making it perfect for larger scientific applications. Its quality can, however, be compromised by atmospheric and weather conditions.

New major created in aeronautics and astronautics
Prodded by students and pulled by traditional firms and startups, Stanford is creating an undergraduate major in aeronautics and astronautics.
“For almost 60 years we’ve had successful graduate and research programs,” said professor Charbel Farhat, chair of the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics. “Now we have a way to help Stanford undergraduates find their places in this new aerospace century.”
The department hopes to prepare majors for the different careers made possible as the aerospace landscape changes. Some students may see themselves on small teams developing tiny satellites or unmanned aerial vehicles, while others may aspire to leadership roles with established space or aerospace firms. The new curriculum also take non-majors into account, with introductory courses and electives to help them imagine how they might apply new aerospace technologies to their fields.
The department will begin accepting new majors in the fall. But the department’s faculty already have some inkling of the student energy headed their way.
“It’s a new era of space exploration and the next generation of undergraduates want to be front and center,” said assistant professor Debbie Senesky, adding, “I recently had a student advisee tell me she wanted to manage a space hotel in the future.”
Read the entire story on the web pages of the School of Engineering.

Travellers hoping to fly on the Dreamliner from London airports such as Stansted are in for a long wait as further delays have hit the delivery of the aircraft to airlines.
US-based Boeing said issues with the availability of a Rolls-Royce engine needed for the final phases of testing the aircraft were behind the delay.
The firm said it was in talks with Rolls-Royce to “expedite engine availability”.
Delivery of the aircraft to Japan’s All Nippon Airways is now expected for February next yea, Boeing said.
The Dreamliner, whose UK customers include British Airways, Virgin Atlantic and Thomson Airways, is already more than two years behind schedule.
The Dreamliner has been hailed as a revolutionary plane, emitting less carbon dioxide than other aircraft.
Boeing, which has had to contend with numerous production difficulties from the 787, displayed the Dreamliner at the Farnborough Air Show in Hampshire earlier this summer.

Air China (Beijing) and Boeing (Chicago, Seattle and Charleston) has announced an order for six additional 777-300 ER (Extended Range) jetliners. The order is valued at more than $2 billion at current list prices and bolsters Air China’s long-haul widebody fleet as it looks to expand its international network.
China’s flag carrier continues to modernize its long-haul fleet to replace aging aircraft and plans to expand its growing network internationally. Air China currently operates a fleet 174 Boeing airplanes, including nearly all current Boeing production models, including the Next-Generation 737, 747-8 Intercontinental as well as 777-300 ERs.
With this new order, Air China will increase its unfilled airplane orders with Boeing to 90 units, which include orders for new 787-9 Dreamliners.

Pair escape injury after plane crashes near school
Two men have escaped injury when their light plane crashed near Ballarat, in central Victoria.
The single-engine kit aircraft brought down a power line as it crashed landed about 500 metres from the Cape Clear Primary School.
Gavin Hope from the Country Fire Authority says the pilot wanted to land when the weather conditions deteriorated.
"They were attempting to land in the paddock so they were coming in fairly slowly but the power line was there," he said.
"They didn't see that due to the conditions.
"Just about 10 metres above the ground they connected with the power line which actually flipped them and put them down into the ground."
He says the plane was badly damaged in the incident.
"The wings are very mangled and the nose has been punched in and the landing front wheel has also been bent up," he said.
"Luckily enough the pilot and co-pilot have been able to get out unscathed."
Mr Hope says the plane was never in danger of crashing into the school.
"Everyone in the school is fine. The school is 500 metres away but the plane was heading away from the school at the time," he said.
"The kids have been across, at a safe distance, to have a look. A bit of excitement today for the school kids there."
Pilot Arthur Williams says they were flying into the Avalon Airshow from Perth when they ran into bad weather.
"We ran into a rain and decided the best thing we could do was put her on the ground for half an hour and wait for the rain to clear," he said.
"[I] never had anything rush through my mind or anything. It was just a matter of we have got to get out of this and thankfully we did," he said.
The principal of Cape Clear Primary School, Christian Brown, says he struggled to keep his students calm.
"Pandemonium. It was excitement plus. They were amped up, they were climbing the walls, they were very excited," he said.
"They probably didn't realise the true gravity of what had happened."
He was eating lunch when a student told him what was happening.
"This plane's coming down and as it comes down, underneath its wheels it tucks a live power line," he said.
"It's coming down and the plane hits the ground with an almighty clunk... and then sort of breaks and the plane hits a wing and the wing all crumples up."
Year 5 student Riley Caldow said he was worried about whether the pilot and passenger would make it out alive.
"I saw the plane side was all bent and stuff and I thought that the men were really lucky to get out alive," he said.
Recreational Aviation Australia will review the circumstances of the crash.

Nextant Cracks European Market
Nextant Aerospace has delivered its first 400XT to a European buyer, a private owner in the Czech Republic. The aircraft will be managed by Time Air, a major Czech charter and management company. "The 400XT is particularly well-suited to the European market, since its 2,003-nautical mile (3,709-km) range enables travelers to reach destinations throughout Europe, the Middle East and North Africa with nonstop flights," said Nextant spokesman Jay Heublein. That pushes the total deliveries of the "remanufactured" version of the Hawker 400 series bizjet. The European delivery comes a few weeks after a 10-aircraft order was placed by Asia Pacific Jets in Singapore.
The company has 80 orders for the aircraft and will be boosting production to 36 a year in 2013 to meet demand. Nextant takes the legacy Hawker and replaces or zero-times every time-constrained piece of equipment on the aircraft. Replacing the original engines with new Williams FJ44-3AP engines gives it a major boost in performance and efficiency. The new panel is Collins Pro Line 21. The aircraft was introduced at last year's NBAA convention in Las Vegas, where AVweb shot this video.

The Drone Harmony Cloud platform has been released. With it, Drone Harmony’s customers gain two new dimensions to their data capture workflows: cloud storage of mission data and a web-based planning interface. Combined with Drone Harmony’s mobile application, Drone Harmony is now offering a fully integrated data capture platform for drone service providers and enterprises.
Automated sharing and collaboration
A key capability introduced by the launch of Drone Harmony Cloud is the sync feature. The sync feature automatically consolidates and creates backups in the Drone Harmony Cloud of all saved mission planning data (including the scene, missions, flights, logs, etc.) across all mobile devices associated with the Drone Harmony account. Furthermore, a team collaborating on a site can have immediate access to all the missions planned by peers. The benefit for the manager is the ability to see an up to date snapshot of all the data acquisition activities in the comfort of the office, without the need to task her pilots to manually submit a report or export the Drone Harmony state. In short, the automatic sync feature is the automated archive for your organizations’ data acquisition activities.
Plan, edit and visualize – from any web browser
With the release of Drone Harmony Cloud, Drone Harmony’s customers gain access to the Drone Harmony web platform, a powerful new interface for exploiting Drone Harmony’s technology. The web application makes it very easy to interact with most of Drone Harmony constructs. With the aid of a large screen and a mouse, customers can now easily visualize and edit stored scenes and missions in ways that were not possible before. The web platform also offers some manual mission planning capabilities. In the near future, all automated planning features from Drone Harmony’s mobile application and a number of new features will be ported to the web platform as well.
A platform for drone data acquisition
Drone Harmony Cloud is much more than just another mission planning tool. It is a platform for organizing and managing all the information that is relevant to your organizations’ data acquisition activities.
The platform addresses the needs of larger enterprises performing drone data acquisition, providing the enterprises’ operation management a birds’-eye view of all asset sites while enabling seamless sharing and collaboration capabilities with operators. Smaller organizations can keep a history of their mission planning activity, perform comparisons and obtain an organizational single point of reference.
Upcoming updates of Drone Harmony Cloud will include the possibility to simultaneously visualize on the map groups of missions to gain further insight into ongoing and completed data capture activities.
Drone Harmony is hard at work on turning the cloud platform into the focal point of all drone data acquisition efforts for its customers. In particular, while on-site mission planning on the mobile device will remain a key capability, the aim is to position the web interface as the primary mission planning tool in the future. As a first step, all mission planning features from the Drone Harmony mobile application will be migrated to the web application. In later iterations, users can expect the web applications’ plan catalog to include some unique advanced features.
In consequence, our customers can expect the future generations of the web platform to include improved versions of Drone Harmony’s full 3D planning interface, new advanced cloud-based mission planning capabilities, the possibility to store advanced scene data (point clouds, meshes etc.) as well as drone data in the Drone Harmony Cloud and integrations of key services and products in the drone and GIS space.
Just like our mobile application, Drone Harmony Cloud is a fast-evolving product that is designed to address Drone Harmony’s customers’ data acquisition needs. We encourage you to post your questions and feedback on our idea platform and interact with us and other Drone Harmony users on our forum.
We have partnered with Altitude Angel, a leader in UTM (Unmanned Traffic Management) software, to provide Drone Harmony customers with in-app airspace information. This integration underlines our commitment to ensure safer flight operation for our customers, as well as our commitment to constantly enrich our data capture platform with high-quality environment data. Drone Harmony continues...
The support of the DJI Mavic Mini is here! With the recent update, Drone Harmony customers can now plan and execute automated flight missions using the Mavic Mini drone.

This is the closest yet to ever missing a flight home.
Traffic was killer on a Saturday afternoon and we reached the departure hall a half hour before our flight time.
How much closer could we have played it?
Still had to check in, while the ground staff radioed that there were luggages still on the way.
Followed by immigration, and the Foreigner queues were so damn long.
In the end, I heaved a huge sigh of relief when I finally buckled myself up on the plane.

Shortly after the Eastern China passenger plane with 132 people on board crashed in the mountains of southern China this afternoon, video showed burning debris on the hillside and thick smoke.
The Boeing 737 was flying from the city of Kunming to Guangzhou when it “lost contact over the air in the city of Wuzhou” in Guangxi province, China’s Civil Aviation Administration said.
The plane crashed in Teng county near Wuzhou and caused a mountain fire.
A video tweeted by ChinaAviationReview, an unverified account, shows what is said to be the “last minute of Mu5735”. It claimed the video was footage of the plane bowing at high speed before it crashed into a mountain.
– ChinaAviationReview (@ChinaAvReview) March 21, 2022
Concerns about the plane crash spread when local media reported China Eastern flight MU5735 did not arrive as planned in Guangzhou after taking off from Kunming after 1:00 p.m.
Flight tracker FlightRadar24 showed no further data for the MU5735 after 2:22 pm local time, when it had reached Wuzhou. It showed the plane had dropped sharply from an altitude of 29,100 feet to 3,225 feet in 1.36 minutes, before flight information stopped.
A villager was quoted by AFP as telling local sites that the plane had “completely broken down” and he had seen nearby forest areas destroyed by fire.

Loganair SB20 near Shetland Islands on Dec 15th 2014, loss of elevator control due to lightning strike
Last Update: September 6, 2016 / 14:35:06 GMT/Zulu time
The occurrence aircraft resumed service on Dec 26th 2014.
On Feb 3rd 2015 the NTSB reported the AAIB rated the occurrence an accident and opened an investigation confirming elevator control was lost as result of a lighting strike.
On Mar 2nd 2015 the AAIB released a special bulletin reporting that the commander (42, ATPL, 5,780 hours total, 143 hours on type) decided to discontinue the ILS approach to Sumburgh Airport's runway 27 at about 2000 feet MSL due to weather ahead, a cell just west of the aerodrome painted red on the aircraft's weather radar, and turned the aircraft onto a southerly heading. While heading southerly the aircraft was struck by lightning. The commander made nose up pitch inputs but perceived that the aircraft was not properly responding. After the aircraft had reached 4000 feet MSL the aircraft pitched down reacing 19 degrees nose down, the vertical rate reached 9500 fpm descent and Vmo was exceeded by 80 knots. The aircraft descended to 1100 feet MSL before it began to climb again.
The AAIB stated: "Recorded data showed that the autopilot had remained engaged, and the pilots’ nose-up pitch inputs were countered by the autopilot pitch trim function, which made a prolonged nose-down pitch trim input in an attempt to maintain its altitude-tracking function."
The AAIB reported that the autopilot, following the aborted approach, was engaged in heading select and altitude tracking. The aircraft turned onto a southerly heading, while rolling out of that turn the aircraft was hit by lightning that entered the aircraft at the radome and exited through the APU exhaust, ball lightning briefly appeared in the forward cabin just prior to the lightning strike.
The commander applied nose up inputs on the control column and nose up trim inputs. The AAIB wrote: "The aircraft climbed, but the commander perceived that his increasingly aggressive control column inputs did not appear to be having the expected effect. The co-pilot also applied nose-up pitch inputs and pitch trim inputs, but similarly perceived that the aircraft was not responding as expected. Pitch and roll mis-trim indications were presented on the primary flight displays (PFDs) in the form of a ‘p’ and an ‘r’ for the respective condition. Both pilots considered the possibility that they had lost control of the aircraft, perhaps because of a failure of the fly-by-wire elevator controls following the lightning strike. The commander instructed the co-pilot to select the elevator emergency trim switch on the flight deck overhead panel. This was done, but had no effect, as the system had not detected the failure condition necessary to arm the switch."
The AAIB continued: "As the aircraft reached 4,000 ft amsl, the pitch attitude tended towards nose-down and a descent began. Invalid data from one of the air data computers then caused the autopilot to disengage. The pitch trim was, by this time, almost fully nose-down, and the aircraft continued to pitch nose-down and descend; full aft control column inputs were made. The peak rate of descent was 9,500 feet per minute at 1,600 ft amsl, pitch attitude reached 19° nose down, and the highest recorded speed was 330 KIAS. The pilots maintained nose-up pitch inputs and the aircraft began pitching nose-up. Nearing the minimum height achieved of 1,100 ft amsl, the ground proximity warning system fitted to the aircraft generated ‘sink rate’ and ‘pull up’ warnings. The commander applied full power, and the aircraft began climbing. He was still under the impression that elevator control response was not normal, and instructed the co-pilot to select the pitch control disconnect. The co-pilot queried this instruction, because the pitch control did not appear to be jammed, and the commander selected the disconnect himself. This disconnected the two elevator control systems from each other; each control column remained connected to its respective (on-side) elevator."
The crew subsequently verified that the aircraft was responding to pitch inputs made by either control column and diverted to Aberdeen.
The AAIB annotated: "The pitch trim switches on the control yoke are inhibited when the autopilot is engaged and moving these switches will not cause the autopilot to disengage. If the pilot tries to move the control column while the autopilot is engaged the pilot can overpower the autopilot servo, but the autopilot remains engaged and opposing elevator trim may result."
The AAIB reported that the aircraft sustained minor damage to the radome and APU exhaust, but remained otherwise undamaged. The AAIB analysed: "Analysis of the meteorological data showed that the aircraft was struck by triggered lightning which caused only minor damage. Although the pilots’ actions suggested that they were under the impression the autopilot had disengaged at the moment of the lightning strike, recorded data showed that it had remained engaged. The pilots’ nose-up pitch inputs were countered by the autopilot pitch trim function, which made a prolonged nose-down pitch trim input in an attempt to maintain its altitude tracking function until it disengaged. This accounted for the perception that the control response was not normal."
A number of safety actions by the aircraft manufacturer and the operator have already been taken as result of the occurrence.
On Sep 6th 2016 the AAIB released their final report concluding the probable causes of the serious incident were:
During the approach phase of a routine flight the aircraft was struck by triggered lightning. Procedures intended to prevent flight in areas where lightning may be encountered do not protect against triggered strikes. The lightning caused only minor damage to the aircraft’s radome and APU exhaust. Functional tests after the flight, and inspections of the elevator control system and autopilot system, did not reveal any faults.
Evidence from the manufacturer’s simulation work indicated that the aircraft had responded as expected to the recorded control deflections.
The commander’s actions following the lightning strike were to make manual inputs on the flying controls, which appear to have been instinctive and may have been based on his assumption that the autopilot would disconnect when lightning struck. However, the autopilot did not disconnect and was attempting to maintain a target altitude of 2,000 ft amsl by trimming nose-down while the commander was making nose-up pitch inputs. The control forces felt by the commander were higher than normal because the autopilot was opposing his inputs and he may have attributed this to a flight control malfunction caused by the lightning strike. He did not recall having seen or heard any of the aural or visual mistrim cautions which were a cue that the autopilot was still engaged. This was probably the result of cognitive tunnelling.
The commander applied and maintained full aft control column (nose-up elevator) input; however, the autopilot’s nose-down elevator trim authority exceeded the commander’s elevator nose-up authority and the aircraft pitched nose-down and descended, reaching a peak descent rate of 9,500 ft/min. The autopilot then disengaged due to an ADC fault and this allowed the commander’s nose‑up pitch trim inputs to become effective. The aircraft started to pitch up just before reaching a minimum height of 1,100 ft above sea level.
If the autopilot system had been designed to sense pilot applied control forces and to disengage when it sensed a significant force (about 25 lbf according to FAA AC 25.1329-1C), the autopilot would have disengaged shortly after the aircraft climbed above 2,000 ft, in response to the aft column inputs applied by the commander. This would have prevented the subsequent loss of control. If the autopilot system had been designed such that operating the pitch trim switches resulted in autopilot disengagement, the autopilot would also have disengaged early in the sequence of events.
Of 22 airliner types surveyed, the Saab 2000 was the only type that had an autopilot which, when engaged, had the following three attributes:
1. Applying an override force to the column will move the elevator but will not cause the autopilot to disengage
2. The autopilot can trim in the opposite direction to the pilot applied control column input
3. Pressing the main pitch trim switches has no effect and will not cause the autopilot to disengage
The Airbus A300 and Fokker 70/100 aircraft previously had such attributes, and suffered one accident (A300) and several incidents (Fokker 70/100) due to pilots overriding the autopilot; these resulted in autopilot redesigns on both aircraft types.
The AAIB released five safety recommendations to the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and Federal Aviation Agency (FAA) recommending to "review the design of the Saab 2000 autopilot system and require modification to ensure that the autopilot does not create a potential hazard when the flight crew applies an override force to the flight controls", review other aircraft types for similiar autopilot designs and redesign those. In addition the AAIB recommended to EASA to ensure that criteria of the aircraft certification specifications can only be met if "if the autopilot automatically disengages when the flight crew applies a significant override force to the flight controls and the auto-trim system does not oppose the flight crew’s inputs."
The AAIB analysed:
The aircraft was struck by lightning that caused only minor damage to the radome and APU exhaust. Functional tests, and inspections of the elevator control system and autopilot system, did not reveal any faults. Evidence from the manufacturer’s simulation work indicated that the aircraft had responded as expected to the recorded control deflections. The reason for the high control forces experienced by the commander was a combination of the additional 25 lbf and 50 lbf required to override the autopilot pitch and roll servos respectively, and the additional aft column deflections required to counter the autopilot’s nose-down pitch trim inputs.
A download of the fault history, confirmed by FDR data, revealed that FCC 2 had caused the autopilot to disengage at 1913 hrs. The autopilot had disengaged because FCC 2 had missed data or received bad data from ADC 2 for a period of at least 99 ms. There were no subsequent in-flight ADC faults to March 2015 so ADC 2 was not removed for further investigation.
No technical faults occurred during the incident other than the brief ADC fault.
With respect to aircraft responses the AAIB analysed:
As the control column was relaxed the aircraft pitched nose-down into a brief descent because the pitch trim was able to overcome the column inputs. Shortly after reaching 4,000 ft amsl the control column was fully aft while the pitch trim was almost fully nose-down. The airspeed also increased and the pitch trim authority became greater than the authority from fully-aft control column causing the aircraft to pitch nose‑down and enter a steep descent which could not be arrested. However, when the autopilot automatically disengaged due to the ADC 2 fault, the nose-down pitch trim stopped and the commander’s subsequent pitch trim switch inputs started to reduce the nose-down pitch trim causing the aircraft to start pitching up.
With respect to the operation of the aircraft the AAIB analysed:
Although both pilots were qualified on type, they did not have extensive experience of the Saab 2000. However, they were not ‘inexperienced’ in the context of the requirements in the operator’s operations manual, and nothing prohibited them flying together.
The information that the Sumburgh ATIS antenna had been struck by lightning provided a reminder to the flight crew that lightning might be encountered. The commander expected that a lightning strike would likely cause momentary loss of the engine-driven generators and that this would result in loss of the autopilot.
Notwithstanding the additional stress under which the commander was operating, and a possibly elevated level of stress in the case of the co-pilot, the flight crew were behaving normally prior to the lightning strike. Their cognitive functioning appeared to be intact, they were responsive to cues presented to them, and they were communicating and comparing their respective mental models. Thus the behaviour that followed, and in particular their response to the lightning strike itself, also appears consistent with normal human performance.
The lightning strike caused the commander to utter an expletive and cease transmitting to ATC, which accords with the unpleasant and surprising nature of lightning strike events. His next action, to begin making manual inputs on the flying controls, appears to have been instinctive and may have been based on his previous assumption that the autopilot would disconnect when lightning struck. The next events were a consequence of his inputs and their interaction with the aircraft’s systems.
Neither the manual pitch inputs, nor action on the pitch trim switches, caused the autopilot to disengage. The autopilot, sensing that the aircraft was now above the selected altitude of 2,000 ft amsl, began applying nose-down pitch to regain that altitude. Because the autopilot was still engaged, the control forces the commander experienced (opposing his inputs) were higher than usual for a given column displacement, and he identified that the aircraft did not feel normal. He may have attributed this to a flight control malfunction caused by the lightning strike.
Once the discrepancy between the commander’s control inputs and their apparent consequences was identified, the co-pilot’s inputs added a further influence to the feedback which the commander was experiencing through his controls. The co-pilot’s own experience, sensing the control response as inputs were made, would also not have been in line with expectations.
The AP pitch and roll mistrim indications, presented on the PFDs, were not acted upon. The commander was not aware of the meaning of these presentations, and the co-pilot was not certain, retrospectively, whether the familiar ‘P’ and ‘R’ annunciations or other similar captions had been seen.
Pilots who are experiencing difficulty simply in achieving the desired flight path may accord lower priorities to non-handling tasks, at least until the flight path is under control. Their ability to seek and process information, and then analyse it and diagnose the root cause of their difficulty may be impaired. There is uncertainty over the effectiveness of simulator training in altering the fundamental behaviour exhibited by pilots under such stress.
Previous regulatory action, which required modification of other aircraft types to address similarly confusing and stressful conditions, is consistent with this conclusion.
Mistrim indications on the PFDs were accompanied by repeated cautions, including audible chimes and captions on the EICAS, neither of which the commander recalled noticing.
If regulations allow hazards to be mitigated by the provision of alerts, it follows that those alerts must reliably be recognised and acted upon, for the hazard to be contained. Although, in this case, the alerts were presented, the flight crew neither recognised them nor acted upon them. The absence of action demonstrates that alerting the flight crew was not a reliable means of addressing this potentially hazardous situation.
As the trim system progressively applied increasing nose-down elevator, the magnitude of the pilots’ control inputs increased. Higher physical forces were applied against higher contrary forces. This probably further increased the pilots’ stress.
The commander’s instruction to the co-pilot to select the elevator emergency trim switch did not reflect the status of the elevator control system, which had not malfunctioned - the switch is armed when multiple failures have been detected and annunciated, in the absence of which its position has no function.
Throughout this period, the commander made adjustments to the power applied by re-positioning the power levers.
With respect to the Saab 2000 autopilot system the AAIB analysed:
The pilot is expected to press the autopilot disengage button on the control wheel before moving the controls, and the designers of the system probably expected that pilots would almost always do this. If the pilot forgot to disengage the autopilot first or was under the impression that the autopilot was already disengaged, it was probably expected that the additional force on the controls would be a cue to the pilot that the autopilot was still engaged or, failing that, that the ‘P’ and ‘R’ captions and subsequent pitch and roll mistrim captions, with an associated aural caution, would alert the pilot. In this incident none of these cues alerted the flight crew that the autopilot was still engaged. Furthermore, the autopilot engage lever was not within the pilots’ forward field of view. The letters ‘AP’ are presented on the PFD when the autopilot is both engaged and disengaged – only the colour of the letters ‘AP’ changes.
If the autopilot system had been designed to sense pilot-applied control forces and to disengage when it sensed a significant force (approximately 25 lbf according to FAA AC 25.1329-1C), it would have disengaged, about 20 seconds after the lightning strike, when the aircraft was climbing slowly through 2,200 ft, due to the aft column inputs applied by the commander. This would have prevented the subsequent loss of control. Additionally, if the autopilot system had been designed such that operating the pitch trim switches caused the autopilot to disengage, the autopilot would have disengaged early in the incident if, as he reported, the commander had been pressing the pitch trim switches to try to reduce the high control forces he was feeling.

Accumulated know-how makes PFW a global expert
A team of specialists with knowledge they have worked for
In the ever more complex aviation industry, the times are long gone in which PFW built entire aircraft. But being a part of aviation for over 100 years has left its traces. These are embedded in PFW’s history and have made the company today a robust, innovation-driven and solid manufacturer of quality and, in some business fields, a global market leader of supplier components.
At the site in Speyer, PFW has developed into an expert for the processing of steel, aluminium and titanium – a material which demands absolute control and a high level of expertise in its production process. PFW has successfully trodden new grounds in the processing of plastics (PEEK), thus greatly expanding its competence in the manufacturing of pipe systems. Overall, PFW Aerospace GmbH is positioned, particularly in the field of pipe systems, as supplier of products, which cannot be matched by any other manufacturer in a similar variety, quality or quantity. This makes PFW a global expert.
The core competences of PFW are bending, forming, welding and bonding – in the case of oxygen pipes, also, in part, according to extremely hygienic standards. The quality of the products which are made is significantly defined by the know-how of the complex interplay of material and the tolerances which arise during processing.
However PFW does not only master individual parts to perfection. The production of pressurised floors, fuselage coverings, APU compartments and support constructions demands absolute experience from employees. The teams at PFW prove that even extended production lines, process automation, engineering, concept development as well as qualifications and tests, technical documentation and series production support are integral parts of the competences in the company.
The core competences at PFW Aerospace GmbH include technologies such as bending and welding pipes, as well as their downstream and upstream processes.
Design & Build
With its roots in production, PFW Aerospace GmbH today also provides engineering services with product development options.
Build to Print
Manufacturing products according to customers’ exact requirements and specifications is part of the fundamental work provided at PFW Aerospace GmbH.
Prompt support for the benefit of our customers is, for us, a matter of course when it comes to our partners.

UH- I would stay away from those simulator courses. These courses in my opinion are a waste of time, and money. Let me explain when you graduate from college you will more than likely start flight instructing, build some time, and move on to the regionals. Flying a 737 simulator in college will not help you land a job after college. In fact at 250 hrs you have no business flying a 737 simulator at all! What I am saying is that you need to develop your flying skills. Start off flying PIC in an airplane you can handle, and eventually you will upgrade to more complex aircraft, and when the time comes that an airline asks you to fly a 737 for them, then let them pay for your 737 sim training.

For over 100 years now, militaries have used helicopters to deploy troops, supplies, and cargo to just about anywhere in the world. Sometimes they are lifting heavy things from A to B on an almost empty fuel tank. And other times they have to fly in treacherous weather conditions. That’s why military helicopters need to be robust, fast, and reliable.
Crowned as the fastest military helicopter in 2019, the Chinook-47 is a mission-ready rotorcraft designed to move troops, artillery, equipment and cargo in high-risk operations. It was thoughtfully designed by Boeing’s Defense, Space and Security department, who gave it two Honeywell engines which crank out a combined 4777shp. The aircraft has a top speed of 315km/h, and it can carry a 10886kg payload on an almost empty fuel tank. However, this bad boy might get an upgrade soon, as it has served in the military space for over 50 years now.
Popularly known as the Hind E, the Mi-35 is a multi-purpose military rotorcraft built by Rostvertol, a child company of Russian Helicopters. The aircraft is famous for having superior performance and more manoeuvrability than it’s predecessor, the Mi-24. And it can carry high-precision weaponry which is capable of destroying armoured targets. That makes it a perfect bird for aerial attacks, ground assault, and even medical evacuation. It explains why a good number of militaries across the world have this helicopter in their lineups.
Designed as a medium-lift helicopter, the AW110 might not be as powerful as other rotorcrafts in this list. But it comes with an impressive range and can endure harsh weather conditions. The aircraft also has the required flexibility to do just about anything, ranging from tactical support in on and offshore battle-fields to working in the commercial space as a VIP air taxi.

Easy Guard Tethered ground station has the same features as the EG, with the addition of a 150, 200, or 300 ft. data-over-power (DOP) smart tether-line that supplies constant power and secure two-way communication to the drone throughout the flight. This feature enables unlimited flight time while also transmitting HD video and telemetry, even in extreme weather conditions, and offers precise hovering over the ground station without the need for GPS guidance. As with the EG, EG-T is lightweight and portable and can be deployed from stationary or mobile platforms. The activation and operation are simple and can be performed on-site or from a remote command center.
EG-T is MIL-STD-810G standard certified.

FAA seeks solutions to improve air safety
After the recent rise in near-misses in the sky, the Federal Aviation Administration is kicking off an effort aimed at improving safety.
The "FAA has been receiving about 250 to 300 reports a week under a new program that encourages controllers to disclose their mistakes," The Associated press reports. "In exchange, the agency promises not to use the information to punish employees. Instead, the reports are used to spot trends. The program is modeled on a similar program for pilots."
In a conference call with employees, Robert Tarter, vice president of Federal Aviation Administration's Office of Safety-Air Traffic Organization, announced plans for an August summit in Washington, D.C., in response to recent warning signs.
"Officials are asking every air traffic controller, as well as other employees involved in air traffic operations, to tell them before the meeting what are the biggest safety problems they see," AP writes. "By this fall, FAA officials hope to restart a program that gives controllers a chance to ride in cockpit jumpseats so that they can experience air traffic operations from a pilot's perspective."
There have been dramatically fewer major airline crashes in the past decade. However, Transportation Department Inspector General Mary Schiavo told AP there are unintended consequences to the technological advances made in air safety.
"People come to rely on the equipment and the collision warning systems, and that's bad," she said.

UAV Search and Rescue Systems Are Life Savers
When a disaster occurs, there’s a great potential for loss of life. First responders, police officials, and other government agencies often only have a small amount of time to gather their resources and attempt to save lives. A search and rescue UAV can maximize this time, giving rescue workers more of a window to locate survivors. In tough disaster relief situations, police search and rescue officials can rely on UAVs to help them map the terrain as well as help pinpoint the location of missing persons. With the information gathered by a UAV, search and rescue teams have a much great chance of minimizing loss of life after a disaster occurs.
In the aftermath of a disaster, such as a tornado or wildfire, one of the most important tasks that police, fire rescue, and emergency officials have is to gather as much information as possible about the situation as soon as they possibly can. With many different agencies working together to locate survivors, it can sometimes be difficult to properly communicate the information necessary to save lives. What a search and rescue UAV offers in these situations is the ability to get eyes in the sky right away, so that disaster relief professionals will all have access to real-time information. With a UAV, search and rescue teams can get precise situational awareness that will allow them to make better decisions in the field.
Life-Saving Information During Wildfires
Another popular method of using UAV search and rescue systems is to gather information during wildfires. FireFlight’s CEO, Jerry Stuckey, created the unmanned aircraft that the company specializes in for the express purpose of helping fire departments gather information during Oklahoma’s wildfire season. Wildfires pose a dangerous threat in Oklahoma, where they can consume residences as well as agricultural resources. With the help of a UAV from FireFlight, police, search and rescue officials, and other emergency workers can gain information about fire that can help them protect human lives and important resources.
FireFlight offers police search and rescue UAVs that consider each client’s specific needs. Used by police officers, EMTs, and other government officials, search and rescue UAV systems from FireFlight offer a quick, safe method of obtaining information necessary to saving lives in a disaster situation. Armed with a FireFlight UAV, disaster relief professionals will be at a great advantage whenever a disaster strikes near them.

The biggest event of his lifetime is being the first person to land on the moon. This was a high point in space exploration and helped put the United States ahead of the Soviet Union during the cold war, according to the article, How did Neil Armstrong change the world?. This also is an important time because more than a billion people saw him land and give his famous “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind” speech, says the article Neil Armstrong by A+E Networks. Both of these events were the biggest that has ever happened to
Apollo was NASA’s three-man space capsule which was unveiled in 1960. It was a dream and the goal of our country in 1961 Pres. Kennedy announced he wanted a man sent to the moon. Plus the Soviet Union was well into the space race after becoming the first in sending a man into space. The United States wanted to hold the title in becoming the first in the world to successfully send a man to the moon. Unfortunately in 1967 tragedy struck the Apollo program when Apollo 1 had a fire during a launch test killing all three crewmembers this tragedy had set the program back until NASA was able to correct the problem. Apollo spacecraft 7-10 were all “dress rehearsal” missions leading up to the Apollo 11 mission In July 1969 when Neil Armstrong stepped
Neil Armstrong was born on August 5 1930 in Wapakoneta Ohio. He was the eldest of three children. By the age of six Armstrong was already intrigued by airplanes, and he went on to take his first ride in one 10 years later when he got his pilot license. He was very serious about being a pilot, as he built a wind tunnel (a tunnel through which air is forced at controlled speeds to study the effects of its flow) in his basement in order to test model planes that he had created out. He started with flying lessons at the age of fourteen. But young Armstrong wasn 't only fascinated by airplanes at this age, he was also interested in outer space, a curiosity fueled by his neighbor and friend who possessed a powerful telescope. Using this Armstrong was able to see the stars and the moons, and dream of one day going up into space, a dream that would later be achieved.
In paragraph 436 of the text, Neil says “Apollo astronauts landed on the moon, where wings are completely useless, in a lunar module named after a bird. A mere sixty-five years, seven months, three days, five hours, and forty-three minutes after Orville left the ground.” Also, in paragraph 436, where Neil says “The launch of Voyager 2, which ballistically toured the solar system’s outer planets. During flybys, the spacecraft slingshot trajectories stole a little but of Jupiter and Saturn’s orbital energy to enable its rapid exit from the solar system.” This also proves that the human race never gave up on their hopes and dreams of flying, and were eventually able to launch people into space. Some might say that Uncle Marcos’s aeroplane he made was well above the technology at the time, but in To Fly, it shows just how far technology has gone in the past few decades. In conclusion, the increase in technology over the past hundred years has powered humans into space, one of the many dreams of the human population.
For the longest time I’ve had a fascination with Alaska so I’ll have to say it started there many years ago. My dream to go to Alaska came true when I received an enlisted assignment to Eielson AFB in 2008. It was at Eielson I decided to apply for a commissioning program and since I was in no way ready to leave Alaska just yet I decided to stay and go to UAA regardless of the fact I could have applied to any school in the nation.
As he grew, so did his passion to fly planes. During high school, Daniel often traded chores for airplane rides with pilots. When he graduated

“It is difficult to say what is impossible, for the dream of yesterday is the hope of today and the reality of tomorrow.” (Goddard). Robert Goddard was an inventor that lived during the Great Depression. He invented and launched the first liquid fueled rocket. (Dunbar) Here is a little about his life and career.
The aviation pioneer I picked is Charles Lindbergh. I chose Lindbergh because he was the first pilot to make a solo transatlantic flight. By doing this, he made aviation history and furthered aviation significantly. He first started as a barnstormer, then later he enlisted in the Army and finish flight school as the top pilot in his class. On May 10-11 of 1927 he was testing his aircraft, The Spirit of St. Louis, by flying from San Diego to New York, with one stop at St. Louis. It took him about 20 hours and 21 minutes to cross the country, where he broke the transcontinental record. On May 20 1927 He took off from an airport near New York City named Roosevelt Field and landed at Le Bourget Field, an airfield near Paris. It took him 33 hours and 30 minutes. (http://www.charleslindbergh.com/history/)
Amelia Earhart made history when she flew the Atlantic Ocean solo. She took off in Newfoundland in good weather, but somewhere alone the way the weather was terrible in the middle of the flight. She had to take a rest break in Ireland because of 12 hour mechanical problems. When Amelia reached London the total flight hours was 15. She also flew to Hawaii solo. In 1930-1935 she broke seven different world records by speed and distance. Amelia was determined to fly around.
According to Wikipedia, Frank Borman (born Frank F. Borman II) was in the Air Force before becoming a space pilot. My grandpa was in the air force too. They both earned the Distinguished Flying Cross for heroic acts in a plane. Frank was the commander of the Apollo 8 mission and was also in Gemini 7. He was the first person to fly around the moon. Borman earned the Space Medal of Honor in October, 1978 along with Neil Armstrong. After retiring from NASA, he became the CEO of Eastern Air Lines. In 1972, he had to find a plane that crashed in a swamp and later rescued many passengers from the sinking aircraft. In 1990, Frank Borman was inducted to the National Aerospace Hall of Fame. Frank was in a documentary called Race to the Moon made by
The bomber aircraft advanced in having many more styles of bomber planes such as: heavy, very heavy, and medium multi-engine bombers, and single-engine Navy scout bombers. The Boeing B-17 and the Consolidated B-24. The two types of planes were best remembered as the aircrafts that carried out the US strategic bombing offensive against Germany. Another one of the US bombing offensive against Germany was the high-altitude environment on the airmen. The B-17 and B-24 were pressurized or heated. The temperatures ranged from -30F to -50F at altitudes of 25,000 feet and above, which led to the making of a pressurized and heated suit. All bombers that flew at high altitude had to wear one to fly.
He had always dedicated his life to being a test pilot, and an engineer. Then in 1962 Neil transferred to astronaut status after being an administrator for NACA. He was also assigned command pilot for the Gemini 8 mission. Gemini 8 was launched on March 16,1966. Armstrong was the most indicated person to put in charge of a shuttle. He had master degrees on various things. A Bachlors for science in the university of purdue, and Southern California university.Neil had won many different type of medals for being the first human to set foot on the moon and one of the was Presidential Medal of Freedom, and he was decorated by 17 countries.
John T. Daniels captured this image of Orville and Wilbur Wright making history, flying the very first plane 120 feet. This image portrays a very clear distinction between positive and negative space. Although it is in black and white, it does not lack features. The Wright brothers and their plane are the clear feature to this image. They are surrounded by boundless, bare, open negative space. Orville is hunkered down on the lower wing of the plane as Wilbur watches his brother take flight in shock. This is truly a “one of a kind” image that captures a moment that changed our society forever.
Armstrong helped in developing a rocket plane called the X-15. The X-15 had a G limit, helped accelerate plains beyond the gravity five times the force on Earth (Byers, 2004). This acceleration could lead to disorientation, dizziness, blackouts, or loss of control of the X-15 (Byers, 2004). Armstrong would be the first to test the X-15, unfortunately he lost control of the plan and did not have the controls to steer the plane back to Earth’s atmosphere (Byers, 2004). Lucky he was able to stay calm and land the aircraft safely, many people would have panicked and lost complete

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? AirAsia sparks collision fears after it hits a 'nok' (Thai for 'bird' - and the name of a budget airline)
- Airbus was carrying 151 passengers from Bangkok to southern Thailand
- Nok Air took to Twitter to set the record straight about 'collision'
- Bird impact left AirAsia plane with just a 'scratch'
A Thai AirAsia plane hit a bird yesterday - causing social media confusion that it had been in collision with another aircraft.
The Airbus A320-200, carrying 151 passengers from Bangkok to southern Nakhon Si Thammarat, hit the bird - the Thai word for which is 'nok', sparking fears there had been an incident with budget carrier Nok Air.
Within hours of the collision, Nok Air went to Twitter to set the story straight.
Social confusion: Ground staff check for the readiness of passenger planes of Nok Air, front, and Air Asia
It issued a statement, saying: 'We would like to clarify that Nok Air did not clip another aircraft today.'
It added: 'The other aircraft suffered a bird (real ones) strike.'
The Thai AirAsia plane landed safely Wednesday morning but the impact left 'a scratch' on the edge of the left wing, Thai AirAsia said in a statement.
The airline's chief engineer, Banyat Hansakul, described the damage as a small hole in the wing.
Engineers inspected and repaired the wing before the aircraft returned to Bangkok after a three-hour delay, the airline said.

This is why a former astronaut should run for president
The start of the "long downhill slide to mediocrity" was Skylab. Or rather the utter failure to maximise the potential that project had. Oh no, it was far more important to send the last remaining Apollo CM on a pointless Soviet-US handshake in space. The only person that benefited from that was Nixon.
The US can afford it. Of course they can. If they wanted to. Cutting the defence budget by just ONE F22 would probably fund NASA for a year.
I think it's great that Neil Armstrong is speaking out on this, more astronauts - retired and active - should too. It's just a pity it's falling on deaf ears.

SpaceX launched a big telecommunications satellite to orbit early Saturday morning (May 27), moving the company closer to 200 successful landings of their first stage rocket boosters.
A Falcon 9 rocket topped with the Arabsat BADR-8 satellite lifted off from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida on Saturday morning (May 27) at 12:30 a.m. ET (0430 GMT). The rocket's first stage landed on SpaceX's droneship Just Read the Instructions eight minutes and 46 seconds later.
Tonight's mission marked the 195th successful landing for SpaceX overall between both Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy rockets, SpaceX's Veronica Foreman said during the launch livestream.
Bad weather forced SpaceX to push two previous attempts of this mission earlier this week. The conditions were much more favorable tonight, leading to a successful nighttime liftoff through the humid skies of Florida's Space Coast.
It was the 14th mission for this particular Falcon 9 first stage, according to a SpaceX mission description. Among those previous flights are two private astronaut missions, September 2021's Inspiration4 and April 2022's Ax-1.
Ax-1, which was operated by Houston-based company Axiom Space, sent four people to the International Space Station for a roughly two-week stay. SpaceX just launched Axiom's second mission, Ax-2, sending its four crewmembers toward the orbiting lab atop a Falcon 9 on Sunday (May 22).

Arabsat BADR-8 weighs roughly 9,900 pounds (4,500 kilograms), according to EverydayAstronaut.com. The satellite is bound for geostationary orbit, about 22,200 miles (35,700 kilometers) above Earth.
It'll take four to five months for the satellite to reach its operational orbit. Once it's up there and fully checked out, BADR-8 will beam TV broadcasting and other telecom services to central Africa, Europe, and the Middle East for Saudi Arabia-based Arabsat, EverydayAstronaut.com wrote.

410th Flight Test Squadron
The 410th Flight Test Squadron is an inactive United States Air Force squadron. It was last assigned to the 412th Operations Group at Air Force Plant 42, Palmdale Regional Airport, California, where it was inactivated on 1 August 2008. The squadron's primary mission throughout its lifetime was flight and acceptance testing of the Lockheed F-117A Nighthawk stealth fighter and the Rockwell B-1B Lancer bomber. Activated in March 1989 for B-1B flight testing, the mission of the unit was changed in 1993 when B-1 testing transferred to the 419th Flight Test Squadron and the squadron became the F-117A test squadron, assuming the mission originated in 1980 at Groom Lake, Nevada.

B-1B Lancer testingEdit
In November 1979, the Air Force began a study for a modified version of an existing airframe to carry air launched cruise missiles, called the Long-Range Combat Aircraft (LRCA). On 2 October 1981, President Ronald Reagan announced a Strategic Modernization Program, which would include the procurement of 100 (LRCA). The Rockwell International proposal for the LRCA was a modified B-1A, which was designated the B-1B Lancer.
The first B-1B incorporated several sub-assemblies of the No. 5 B-1A, which has been under construction when the B-1A program was cancelled. Rockwell test pilots flew it for the first time on 31 October 1984, from the Rockwell International assembly plant at Air Force Plant 42, Palmdale, California, landing at Edwards Air Force Base, California. The B-1B was ready for delivery to Strategic Air Command barely eight months after its first flight.
6510 Test SquadronEdit
When the aircraft reached operational squadrons, many shortcomings were discovered. Air Force Systems Command formed the 6510th Test Squadron in March 1989 to test these modifications. Modifications included those needed to improve the low-altitude range of the aircraft, which it was well short of its proposed maximum unrefueled range of 7,455 miles. The modifications increased the range of the aircraft from 1,300 nautical miles to over 3,000. Other modifications tested were to correct problems with the terrain-following radar system, defensive avionics systems, fuel leaks and the Lancer's central integrated test system. In December 1990 General Electric F101 engine turbofan blade failures caused the grounding of the B-1B aircraft, requiring additional modifications.
F-117A Nighthawk testingEdit
In November 1978, the preliminary testing of the Have Blue stealth aircraft was successfully completed, and during November 1978, Lockheed Corporation was awarded a contract to begin full-scale development of the project. The program was given the code name Senior Trend. In 1980, the Senior Trend Joint (later Combined) Test Force was established at Area 51 consisting of a combination of Lockheed and USAF personnel as an acceptance test unit for newly manufactured aircraft. Air Force Systems Command personnel participating in the test were assigned to Air Force Flight Test Center, Detachment 3.
In June 1981, the first Senior Trend test aircraft was delivered for testing and on 18 June 1981 the first successful flight was made by a Lockheed test pilot. There were usually four to six test flights (about half contractor and half USAF) for acceptance. They included systems checks, handling qualities evaluations, and low observable radar verifications. All flights of the aircraft were made at night without lights and the runway was only briefly illuminated to facilitate landings and takeoffs.
The first production aircraft, 80-10785 was ready for its first flight on 20 April 1982. However, unknown to anyone, the fly-by-wire system had been hooked up incorrectly (pitch was yaw and vice versa). Upon liftoff, the plane immediately went out of control. Instead of the nose pitching up, it went horizontal. The aircraft went inverted and ended up traveling backwards through the air. The pilot had no time to eject, and the aircraft flew into the ground. The aircraft was damaged beyond repair, but some of its parts could be salvaged. On 10 November 1988, the long-rumored existence of the "F-117 Stealth Fighter" was finally officially confirmed by the Pentagon. In 1990 the last F-117A was delivered. and the flight test squadron no longer had to perform acceptance flights at Groom Lake. However, the flight test duties still included flights for refurbished aircraft received from Lockheed.
In February and March 1992 the F-117 test unit moved from Groom Lake to Palmdale Plant 42 where Lockheed had produced the aircraft, although some testing, especially RCS verification and other classified activity, was still conducted at Groom Lake. At Palmdale, the test unit came under the operational control of the 2874th Test Squadron (later the 337th Test Squadron) of the 412th Test Wing at Edwards as Detachment 5 of the 337th Squadron.
410th Test SquadronEdit
In February 1993, the wing's Director of Operations proposed that the unit be established as the 410th Test Squadron. Headquarters AFMC agreed to this, Detachment 5 was discontinued and its personnel and equipment assigned to the 410th Test Squadron (the new name of the 6510th) on 1 March 1993 and the squadron resumed operations.
Flight testing continued at Palmdale throughout the operational life of the F-117. On 1 August 2008, with the retirement of the F-117 from the inventory, the last aircraft of the 410th was flown to Tonopah TRA for permanent storage and the unit was inactivated.

Rockets and Missiles: The Life Story of a Technology
Rockets and Missiles covers everything any student or interested layperson would need to understand the history of rocketry. The introduction reviews basic principles of physics and basic elements of chemical rocket technology. Chapters trace the history of rockets from their origins to the present day, with a particular emphasis on the years since World War II. All three principal uses of rocket technology are covered in detail: missiles as long-range strategic weapons and short-range tactical weapons, and rockets as launch vehicles for sending payloads into space The book concludes with a survey of several types of non-chemical rockets now under development for use in outer space. While Rockets and Missiles covers the development of the technology, including how rockets improved in performance, reliability, and versatility. The book also stresses the impact of rocket technology—both military and civilian—on everyday life.
"This volume provides a concise, clear history of rockets and missiles from ancient times to the present... Van Riper does an exemplary job in lifting out the critical points from a mass of potentially intimidating detail, and explaining these in terms that lay persons can grasp... In sum, this book recommends itself as a lucid history of missile technology for the general reader."
-- Richard Beyler, H-Net Reviews
"This . . . text provides clear explanations of what is often thought of as almost incomprehensible: rocket science. It covers aspects of technological, social, governmental development and control, and the political implications of rockets and missiles. Rockets and Missiles: The Life Story of a Technology is recommended for public and academic libraries. Whether one is interested in rockets, missiles, sociology, technology or history, this book will be an asset."

GEOS-FP Near Surface Temperature
Near surface temperature is calculated by sampling 3-D atmospheric fields from NASA’s GEOS-FP system 3 meters above Earth’s surface. GEOS-FP combines millions of weather observations with a predictive model to create a global best estimate of weather conditions that are used to begin a forecast.
Weather models begin their forecasts by integrating observations from ground stations, aircraft, balloons, and a growing constellation of Earth observing satellites to estimate the most realistic atmospheric state. The Goddard Earth Observing System Forward Processing (GEOS-FP) system is a research model maintained by NASA’s Global Modeling and Assimilation Office to demonstrate innovative new ways to use satellite data to improve predictions of weather, air quality, and greenhouse gases and to help NASA collect new observations of our home planet. Near surface temperature is calculated by sampling model fields at 2 meters (about 6 feet) above Earth’s surface, helping scientists communicate to the general public the air temperatures they encounter. Variations reflect differences in daytime and nighttime temperatures and the influence of large scale weather systems. As the planet warms in response to rising greenhouse gas concentrations, scientists are also tracking changes in the frequency of heat waves and their potential impacts on human health.

On 1 June 2011, Mars Express carried out a special manoeuvre to observe a conjunction between Phobos and Jupiter. The animation shows Phobos moving from right to left through the camera’s field of view, then - outside this sequence of images - disappearing behind Mars. At the same time, Mars Express was approaching apoapsis - the furthest point from Mars in its orbit. At the moment that Mars Express, Phobos and Jupiter were aligned, the distance between Mars Express and Phobos was 11,389 kilometres, and another 529 million kilometres to Jupiter. This means that Jupiter was almost 50,000 times as far from Mars Express as Phobos, which is the reason why in this foreshortened perspective the largest planet in the Solar System, with a diameter of 140,000 kilometres, appears significantly smaller than the Martian moon located almost directly in front of the camera lens. While Mars Express and Phobos were continually moving forwards, the Super Resolution Channel (SRC) in the High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) remained fixed on Jupiter. The image sequence contains a total of 104 separate images, taken within 68 seconds.
The observation and simultaneous determination of the exact time at which Jupiter moved behind the Martian moon were used to improve the orbital data for Phobos.
A motion de-blurring algorithm from the Chinese University of Hong Kong was used to improve the image quality (subtract the motion blurring). These improved SRC images were used for the animation. However, the images were moved horizontally by one pixel to fill in the gaps. Furthermore, the contrast was altered slightly.
The shown video was generated at the Institute for Geological Sciences at the Freie Universität Berlin and published there as 'Highlights of the Month' in 2011. They present special Mars products obtained using the HRSC camera on board Mars Express.

Neil Armstrong Biography, Life, Interesting Facts
Neil Armstrong was an American astronaut, aerospace engineer and naval aviator. Born on August 5, 1930, he was the first person to step foot on the moon. Armstrong added to his long career as a test pilot and a university professor. Before his astronaut career, served in the U.S Army during the Korean War. He logged over 900 flights during his service as a test pilot for the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) High-Speed flight Station. He later participated in the U.S Air Force Man in Space Soonest and the X-20 Dyna-Solar human spaceflight program before joining the NASA Astronaut Corps in 1962.
Neil Armstrong's first space flight was in 1966 as the command pilot of Gemini 8. This made him the first NASA civilian astronaut to fly in space. On his second and last space trip, he commanded the Apollo 11 on the first manned Moon landing mission. This time around Neil Armstrong and pilot Buzz Aldrin touched on the lunar surface,spending an hour and a half outside the spacecraft. He was presented with awards like Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Richard Nixon, a Congressional Space Medal of Honor by Jimmy Carter in 1978 and alongside his crewmates received the Congressional Gold Award in 2009.
Neil Armstrong was born in Wapakoneta, Ohio to Stephen Koenig Armstrong and Viola Louisa Enge l.He was the eldest of three children and was a German, Irish and Scottish descendant. As his father worked as an auditor, the family moved frequently from one town to the other. The family eventually settled in Wapakoneta, where Armstrong attended the Blume High School. While there, he took some flying lessons at the Wapakoneta airfield. Armstrong gained interest in flying at an early age when he usually flew with his father and had the first flight on a Ford Trimotor on July 20, 1936.
On his 16th birthday, he received a student flight certificate. Neil Armstrong studied aeronautical engineering at Purdue University in 1947. His education was funded under the Holloway Plan, which required two years study, a two years flight training, a year service in the U.S Navy as an Aviator and another year before acquiring a bachelor degree. Hence, his later calls to the U.S Navy. Neil Armstrong returned to Purdue after the Korean War to continue education and graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Aeronautical Engineering in1955. In 1970, he graduated with a Master of Science degree in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Southern California.
As prerequisite under the Holloway Plan, Neil Armstrong had a call into Navy service on January 26,1949, to receive 18 months flight training at the Naval Air Station Pensacola. After the training, Neil Armstrong qualified for carrier landing aboard the USS Cabot and USS Wright and on August 16, 1950, qualified as a Naval Aviator. After his training, Aircraft Service Squadron 7 at NAS San Diego, later he was assigned to Fighter Squadron 51 and then to F9F-2B Panther. F9F-2B Panther was his first flight in a jet on January 5, 1951. After his landing on the USS Essex, Neil Armstrong had a promotion from a Midshipman to an Ensign.
Neil Armstrong set for the Korea war where he first acted as an escort for a phone reconnaissance plane over Songjin. On his second assignment on an armed reconnaissance Panther, his jet was attacked with an anti-aircraft fire while making a low bombing run. His plan to eject on water failed, as the ejection seat was blown back to land. A Jeep was driven by his roommate from flight school then picked him.
During his service in the Navy, Neil Armstrong received Air Medal for 20 combat missions, a Gold Star for the next 20 and finally the Korean Service Medal and Engagement Star in recognition for his 78 missions over Korea in 121 hours. He had reached a lieutenant rank in the U.S Naval Reserve before leaving the Navy to continue his education. Until October 21, 1960, where he resigned, he remained in the reserve for eight.
Neil Armstrong applied to the National Advisory Commission for (NACA) High-Speed Flight Station at Edward Air Force Base as an experimental test pilot after he graduated from Purdue. Since there was no vacancy there, he was picked by Lewis Flight Propulsion Laboratory in Cleveland in 1955, but later that year he returned to the Edward Air Force Base.
His first assignment at Edward was to pilot chase planes and later flew modified bombers. He served as a project pilot on the F-100 Super Sabre A, C variant, and F-101 Voodoo among others and made his first rocket plane flight on the Bell X-1B on August 15, 1957. At Edwards, Armstrong was involved in several incidents, but in all was able to make headway. He flew over 200 different models of aircraft during his service at Edwards.
Career At Astronaut
In 1960, the U.S Air Force, which was developing a military space plane, X-20 Dyna-Soar, chose Neil Armstrong as one of the pilot consultant group; he was in 1962 picked as one of the seven pilots-engineers to fly the plane when it was completed. He had previously gained selection to the Man in Space Soonest program by the Air Force in 1958. Armstrong also lately applied for NASA astronaut after the deadline of June 1, 1962, had expired. He was, however, lucky for his application to be slipped in by a former colleague Dick Day. He underwent medicals and in joined the NASA Astronaut Corps as the first American civilian astronaut.
The first civilian in the world was, however, Valentina Tereshkova of the Soviet Union aboard Vostok 6 on June 16, 1963. Armstrong was the Command Pilot for Gemini 8 and which was launched on March 16, 1966. His first Gemini mission was unsuccessful because it encountered problems, hence, and cut short. Neil Armstrong was rolled on to the Gemini 11 program as a backup Command Pilot with Pete Conrad and Dick Gordon on board. The mission was launched on September 12, 1966, and this time was very successful.
After serving as a backup command for Gemini 8, he was appointed as the commander for Apollo 11 December 23, 1968. Other crew members for that mission were Michael Collins and Buzz Aldrin. The main mission was to land safely on the moon without necessarily touching on a precise spot. On the mission, Neil Armstrong was set to be the first to touch on the moon due to the positioning of crewmembers. On July 20, 1969, 20:17:40 UTC precisely, they safely landed on the moon and Armstrong made the announcement to the Mission Control and the world saying, "Houston, Tranquillity Base here. The Eagle has landed."
Neil Armstrong eventually made the first step on the moon with his left leg at 2:56 UTC on July 21, 1969, and that was when he made the famous and debated statement "That's one small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind." Aldrin joined him after 20 minutes to become the second man to set foot on the moon. They finally set to earth and landed in the Pacific Ocean from where the USS Hornet picked them. They were quarantined for 18 days to ensure they did not pick disease and infections from the moon.
Neil Armstrong was married twice first to Janet Shearon on January 28, 1956. They gave birth to three children Eric and Karen and Mark. Karen, however, died from a brain tumour at age three. The couples divorced in 1994 after 38 years of marriage. Armstrong moved on to marry Carol Held Knight on June 12, 1994. Neil Armstrong died on August 25, 2012, in Cincinnati, Ohio from complications of a bypass surgery. He had undergone a bypass surgery to relieve blocked coronary on August 7, 2017. Even though news spread that the surgery was successful and he was recovering steadily, however, developed some complications, which caused his death.
Armstrong was very critical of the use of his franchise for commercial gains. He banned the use signature, name and other trademarks by companies and individuals for commercial purposes and threatened lawsuits whenever there was a breach of such directives.
Awards And Honours
Neil Armstrong received several awards and honours, among them are the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the Congressional Space Medal of Honor, the Congressional Gold Medal, the Collier Trophy from the National Aeronautics Association.He was inducted into the Aerospace Walk of Honor, the National Aviation Hall of Fame, and the United States Astronaut Hall of Fame.
Armstrong and his Apollo 11 crewmates were the 1999 recipients of the Langley Gold Medal from the Smithsonian Institution. The lunar crater Armstrong, 31 mi (50 km) from the Apollo 11 landing site, and asteroid 6469 Armstrong are in his honour. Several schools, streets, buildings, places in America and around the world have his namein his honour. He was ranked the most popular space hero by a Space Foundation survey in 2010. The Flying magazine also ranked him first of 51 Heroes of Aviation in 2013.

Yelp isn't the place to review a company like Tac Air, they have little to offer the general public and anyone curious about the facilities or services are going to look elsewhere for that information. With that said, it's a great FBO and I'm fortunate to share the airport with them. Service is almost always fast, the exceptions being times like horse sales or when they have a cargo plane to load/unload. The facility is excellent, easily on the top 10% in terms of comfort and amenities. For the general public I guess it would be a good place to bring kids interested in aviation after visiting the museum next door. Let them get a close (relatively, the ramp is a secure area) look at some airplanes and talk with pilots if that's an interest of theirs.

The Stars My Destination: Demo-2 Launch
Liftoff! Launch America-link. These United States are once again capable of launching astronauts into outer space after nearly a decade of depending on hitching rides from our partners in Russia. I support the International Space Station (I.S.S.) as an international effort, with both the United States Orbital Segment & the Russian Orbital Segment working together to form one amazing machine that has enabled nigh-on twenty years of continuous human habitation in low earth orbit. But between the increasingly frequent malfunctions with the Russians' Soyuz & Progress spacecraft (designs that originated in the 1960s) & the often contentious terrestrial relations between the United States of America & the Russian Federation, it is good to have an alternate means of delivery crew to the I.S.S.
Code Name: CHAOS
The first SpaceX Dragon capsule to carry astronauts to the I.S.S. has a name: Endeavour, named after the Space Shuttle on which both DM-2 astronauts had their maiden spaceflights. The Endeavour OV-105 is the only Space Shuttle your humble narrator has seen with his own eyes, in the Samuel Oschin Pavilion at the California Science Center in Los Angeles. Seeing the Endeavour, standing under the giant space plane was a tremendously affecting experience, almost mystical; much more affecting & impressive than I'd anticipated.

On Wednesday, NASA will announce its first ever mission to fly directly into the sun's atmosphere, the Associated Press reported.
And....people responded pretty much exactly how you'd probably expect.
Basically, everyone is hyped to fly the fuck into the sun.
TAKE 👏 US 👏 WITH 👏 YOU 👏
🎶 Fly me to the sun, let me die among the stars 🎶
And, of course, a lot of people had some ideas for who should steer the ship...
Anyway, I call shotgun!

Why spend several years of your life building an aircraft ? Why undertake such an adventure, such a challenge ? Many people got their fingers burnt, lost their money, spouse and family doing so. Many people “lost” several years before giving up. All those questions and many more I also asked myself. But I have to say, since several years the main question became more : When will I start building ?
Building an aircraft has always been an evidence for me, a big dream. In 1998 already, I attended my first aeronautical celebration in Oshkosh near Chicago where thousands of aircrafts and their builders meet every year in a monumental gathering organized by the Experimental Aircraft Association. Study, plan, prepare, learn new techniques, take up a challenge, find solutions, create something with your own hands. It includes everything I love.
Building an aircraft also allows you to meet many people with the same “grain of madness”. All along the path, people sharing the same passion are here to help you, to guide you, to pass on their knowledge in a simple and natural way. Those human exchange, those human interactions are also and above all what matters.
The flying machine
Which model to choose, how can you be sure of your choice among all available kit aircraft ? How to correctly choose an aircraft that will be completed 5 years after being started in the best case ? The mission or what will you do with this aircraft once completed seems to be the good answer… Mine is fairly clear and I hope I picked up the good aircraft to fulfill it…
Richard Vangrunsven or Van founded in 1973 Van’s Aircraft Factory in Oregon and started to sell aircraft’s kit. 46 years later, more than 10’400 of its aircraft fly all around the world. Van is the most successful kit aircraft manufacturer in history. He is one of the 51 aviation glory, along with Clyde Cessna, William Piper, Donald Douglas and the other great aeronautical manufacturer. Its aircrafts are well known for their ease of assembly (it’s all relative !) their polyvalence and flying qualities
The Van’s RV-10 we are building is a 4 seater aircraft, economically cruising at 150 knots (280 km/h) and able to depart a short grass strip carrying 4 people and their bags for 1’200 kilometers. A fantastic flying machine !
I am lucky to have built a big workshop in our house, some bad mouth say I have actually built a house around the workshop ! It’s a big plus to work home and be able to spend an hour here, an hour there. Some courageous build in their living room, their flat or a double garage, it’s possible but it adds one more complication to an already difficult task.
The tools necessary to work with aluminium are also sold in kits depending on the aircraft type you want to build. The first challenge isn’t to know how to use them but to understand their purpose ! The second one for us, here in Europe, is to learn the imperial units of measurement, feet, inches and their fractions used for every tool and on the plans…
Let the adventure start !

That's one small scoop for humanity.
NASA made history Tuesday after a spacecraft successfully collected samples from the surface of an asteroid during a carefully orchestrated, hourslong maneuver in orbit.
After spending nearly two years circling the near-Earth asteroid Bennu, NASA’s OSIRIS-REx spacecraft used its robotic arm to gather pieces of the space rock that will subsequently be sent to Earth for study. The event marks an important milestone for NASA: It’s the first time the agency has gathered samples from an asteroid in space.
“We did it,” Dante Lauretta, the principal investigator for the OSIRIS-REx mission, said during NASA’s live broadcast of the event. “We've tagged the surface of the asteroid.”
The samples are expected to be delivered to Earth in September 2023, according to NASA. Scientists have said that the precious materials from Bennu’s surface could reveal intriguing insights into how the solar system came to be. Asteroids are pristine collections of the ancient ingredients that formed the solar system about 4.5 billion years ago, so studying the chemical properties of space rocks could unlock secrets about planets and the origins of life on Earth.
The OSIRIS-REx mission is NASA’s first to collect samples from an asteroid, but it was not the first ever. That distinction belongs to Japan’s Hayabusa mission, which delivered to Earth a few micrograms of material from the asteroid Itokawa in 2010. A second mission, named Hayabusa2, collected a small sample from the asteroid Ryugu in February 2019. The spacecraft is slated to return to Earth in December with the sample onboard.
Yuichi Tsuda, project manager for the Hayabusa2 mission at the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, expressed his support for the OSIRIS-REx mission, tweeting Tuesday: “Tomorrow, a new door opens for solar system exploration. The [OSIRIS-REx] team should be able to achieve great results with the right decisions and exquisite control. Keep safe, and Godspeed!”
As a near-Earth asteroid, Bennu could also help researchers understand more about space rocks that pose a threat to the planet, as well as how these celestial bodies could be mined for valuable resources in the future.
The OSIRIS-REx spacecraft (short for Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, Security-Regolith Explorer) has been orbiting Bennu from an altitude of approximately 2,500 feet but spent several hours Tuesday descending toward the asteroid’s surface.
The spacecraft is equipped with an 11-foot-long robotic arm that reached down and grabbed samples from the space rock. Shortly after 6 p.m. EDT, the spacecraft’s arm touched down at a landing site dubbed Nightingale that NASA said is roughly the size of a few parking spaces.
The entire maneuver, which NASA likened to a “high five” with Bennu, took about 4 1/2 hours. The spacecraft was in contact with the asteroid for fewer than 16 seconds, and the van-sized probe was designed to gather at least 2 ounces of rubble from the surface.
After the “touch-and-go” operation, OSIRIS-REx fired its thrusters to safely back away from Bennu.
The $800 million OSIRIS-REx mission launched in September 2016 and the spacecraft arrived at Bennu roughly two years later. The probe has been mapping the asteroid’s surface, studying its composition and beaming back photos of the space rock, which is about as tall as the Empire State Building, according to NASA.
Bennu is located more than 200 million miles away from Earth but has an orbit that can swing it to within 4.6 million miles of the planet. As such, Bennu and other near-Earth asteroids are classified as potentially hazardous objects. NASA’s Planetary Defense Coordination Office has calculated that there is a 1 in 2,700 chance of Bennu hitting Earth sometime between the years 2175 and 2199.

They allowed for the employment of thieves, who required advanced communications uplinks to transfer funds, as well as housed blueprints for Cruisers, mobile gap generators and their stationary versions and the Allied superweapon, the Chronosphere. Additionally, upon completion launch preparations would begin for a GPS Satellite, which would allow a total overview of the battlefield and overrode radar feed. However, if the satellite control in the Technology Center was destroyed, the uplink would be lost. It was advanced into the battle lab during the first and second iterations of the Third World War.
The Allied Technology Center had additional functionality compared to its Soviet counterpart in that it manufactured and launched a GPS satellite on site after completion. It also provided parts for:

Patriot Express weekly flight gets larger plane
October 10, 2007
YOKOTA AIR BASE, Japan — A larger-capacity aircraft showed up over the weekend for the Patriot Express.
A DC-10 has replaced the L-1011 previously used to handle the weekly flight, which passes through Yokota every Friday and Saturday on a roundtrip mission from Seattle to Kadena Air Base, Okinawa.
The U.S. military’s only chartered commercial air service in the Pacific was rewarded with a bigger airplane after so-called “paying passengers” — those on permanent-change-of-station or temporary-duty orders — easily exceeded a financial benchmark set for the route.
The airliner features 310 seats, almost 30 more than the L-1011 had.
Air Force Lt. Col. Mark Harris, the current operations branch chief for U.S. Forces Japan’s logistics directorate, said the upgrade is a direct result of the money the flight generated in the past year.
“It’s a pretty big deal having the ridership be what it is again to make it a flight that operates in the black, so to speak,” he said. “It’s not losing money. This is an indication of that success.”
A year ago, Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni and Misawa Air Base lost the Patriot Express after a cost-recovery goal wasn’t met in Japan.
Harris said there hasn’t been any discussion about bringing it back, adding those base populations simply can’t support the numbers needed to “at least break even.”
That hasn’t been a problem on Okinawa the last two years.
With military leaders placing renewed emphasis on filling Patriot Express flights, the Seattle-Kadena flight averaged enough duty passengers to account for 118 percent of cost recovery from October 2006 through August, far exceeding business goals, according to Harris.
It made $20.4 million in revenue and surpassed operating costs by more than $3 million.
The duty-passenger count is crucial to making the flight “revenue-neutral” for U.S. Transportation Command.
It’s also a necessary stipulation in preserving a huge space-available travel benefit for the military community, Harris said.
The only charge for space-A fliers headed to the United States is a $27.10 transportation fee, or international “head tax.”
The larger aircraft figures to boost prospects for space-A hopefuls.
However, the amount of pet spaces will remain the same at 12, Air Mobility Command officials said.
“We see Patriot Express as a big quality-of-life issue for the folks out here,” Harris said. “From the looks of these numbers, it’s going to be here for a long time. … If we can keep making money on this flight, other improvements yet to be named could follow.”

The interwar exhibition space presents a collection of aerobatic planes and records as well as the first civilian carriers.
Le Bourget Paris became famous with the great North Atlantic crossings. It was indeed from here that the Point d'Interrogation took off in 1930, recognizable by its red paint and the first crossing Paris - New-York direction East-West, or l'Oiseau Blanc, which disappeared during the crossing and from which only its take-off gear remains.
Another unique piece, the fuselage from a Farman F-60 Goliath shows how the first aircraft in history was made. This was to remain in service for more than ten years and it became one of the most important transport aircraft of the post war period. This plane was operated by Air France until 1933; it could carry only twelve passengers and two crew members. You will be able to see at the Air and Space Museum some front parts of the fuselage from a F.60 with its license number F-HMFU. Imagine the relative minimum comfort of these Paris-London flights from the early 1920s!
1930 – The aviators Costes and Bellonte were the first to reach Paris and New-York by crossing the Atlantic from East to West with the Breguet 19 Point d'Interrogation. They took off from le Bourget Paris 1st September 1930 in 10 hours 58 minutes and landed at Curtiss Field on 3rd September after a flight of 37 hours and 12 minutes. Lindbergh was onsite to congratulate them for their achievement.
L’Oiseau Canari was the second copy by Bernard-Hubert 191GR (existed in 3 copies) purchased by Armand Lotti. Three men - Jean Assollant the pilot, René Lefèvre the navigator and Armand Lotti, radio and sponsor of the flight, attempted the crossing of the Atlantic. It was from the United States, in the north of Boston on Old Orchand Beach (Maine) that, on 13th June 1929; a difficult take-off was made. In fact, they discovered a stowaway, Arthur Schreiber, an American journalist, hidden in the tail of the plane. The excess weight made it very difficult to land at the wanted landing point; they were forced to land on the beach of Cormillas close to Santander (Spain) in the night of June, 14th to 15th, 1929 after more than 29 hours of flight. The plane flew back on 16th June to Cazaux but, unable to fill up sufficiently in Spain, they had to land on the beach of Mimizan and then leave once again to reach Paris Le Bourget in the evening.
A product of Morane-Saulnier manufacture, this monoplane had an interesting performance history in terms of manoeuvrability, visibility and rate of climb. That example on exhibition - Morane orange, blue and aluminium – was particularly noticed for its aerobatics. It was with this plane that Alfred Fronval participated in a number of meetings between 1920, 1921 and 1927. The latter was test pilot and monitor at Morane-Saulnier. It was also with this plane that he won the Zurich aerial international concours de virtuosité, in August, 1927. Specialist on stunt-looping, Albert Fronval was a record holder. This plane was a bit particular as it was equipped with the reinforcements needed for aerial voltige and a surge tank to supply and feed the engine in flight on its back.

Australia has changed its aviation regulations to simplify the process of developing Airworthiness Directives (ADs). Under the new system, ADs issued by a foreign aviation authority will be adopted automatically in Australia, and operators will be required to comply with ADs issued by the authority of the state of design of the aircraft.
Civil aviation authorities
While the U.S. Senate has yet to introduce its version of an FAA reauthorization bill, the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee passed the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2009 (H.R. 915).
The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has extended the comment periods for three key notices of proposed amendments (NPAs) under which it will assume responsibility for regulating aircraft operations. The deadlines for the industry to respond to both NPA 2009-02a-02g (air operations) and NPA 2009-1 (operational suitability certificate) have been pushed back by two months to July 31 and June 30, respectively.
After issuing a letter of interpretation reminding the maintenance community of the meaning of the word “current” in FAR 91.409(f)(3), the FAA has received widespread criticism.
Aircraft operators have until May 30 to comment on the new air operations requirements (Notice of Proposed Amendment 2009-2) being introduced by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA).
After issuing a letter of interpretation reminding the maintenance community of the meaning of the word “current” in 14CFR 91.409(f)(3), the FAA has received widespread criticism.
Now more than five years old, the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) is succeeding in fulfilling its primary mission of implementing a single set of rules across 31 countries but the agency must reassess its stance on certification fees, according to industry stakeholders.
The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) may tighten some of the provisions for flight time limitations (FTL) contained in Sub- part Q of its existing EU OPS 1 rules covering commercial aircraft operations. The possible changes result from a recently concluded scientific and medical evaluation conducted on the agency’s behalf by an independent committee of fatigue experts.
Building on business aviation’s International Standard for Business Aircraft Operations (IS-BAO) introduced in 2002, business aviation groups from around the world have developed a Safety Management System Tool Kit (SMS TK) to help operators respond to global standards set by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).
The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has approved the Part 145 certification for Aerospace Welding Minneapolis. The certificate has been issued under the terms of the current Bilateral Aviation Safety Agreement and the associated Maintenance Implementation Procedures. The new certification allows the company to export all overhauled and repaired parts to customers in any EASA member country.
