After several years of development in ”early access mode”—during which it became a favorite of SpaceX CEO Elon Musk—KSP is launching version 1.0 today.
KSP lets users build everything from rudimentary rockets to space stations, probes, and asteroid mining operations, based on realistic physics and orbital mechanics. The game’s small green astronauts are known as “Kerbals,” and there will be female as well as male Kerbals in the new release.
The game, made by the developer Squad, has some fans at NASA: The US space agency helped to develop a Kerbal mission earlier this year that lets players redirect a rogue asteroid.
Musk jokingly told Reddit users in January that SpaceX uses Kerbal for its software testing, and went on to call the game “awesome.”
In a Reddit Q&A session of their own, Kerbal’s producers were asked: “Has Elon Musk ever called you and said, ‘Why isn’t my rocket landing in real life? It landed in the game like a hundred time[s]!'” A Kerbal producer replied that Musk “plays in ultrahard mode”—presumably meaning real life—”and he already has the best people possible helping him.” | aerospace | 1 |

Doppler Effect-Based Automatic Landing Procedure for UAV in Difficult Access Environments
Currently, almost unrestricted access to low-lying areas of airspace creates an opportunity to use unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), especially those capable of vertical take-off and landing (VTOL), in transport services. UAVs become increasingly popular for transporting postal items over small, medium, and large distances. It is forecasted that, in the near future, VTOL UAVs with a high take-off weight will also deliver goods to very distant and hard-to-reach locations. Therefore, UAV navigation plays a very important role in the process of carrying out transport services. At present, during the flight phase, drones make use of the integrated global navigation satellite system (GNSS) and the inertial navigation system (INS). However, the inaccuracy of GNSS + INS makes it unsuitable for landing and take-off, necessitating the guidance of a human UAV operator during those phases. Available navigation systems do not provide sufficiently high positioning accuracy for an UAV. For this reason, full automation of the landing approach is not possible. This paper puts forward a proposal to solve this problem. The authors show the structure of an autonomous system and a Doppler-based navigation procedure that allows for automatic landing approaches. An accuracy evaluation of the developed solution for VTOL is made on the basis of simulation studies.
Military applications [1–3] were the beginning of the development of unmanned aircraft systems. The increase in their availability contributes to the widespread use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in civilian applications. In this case, monitoring large areas of land or sea is the main purpose. It concerns such areas of human activity as an agriculture [4, 5], energetics (i.e., photovoltaic plants [6–8] and high voltage lines ), environment protection , search and rescue , forestry and fire detection [12, 13], water area management [14, 15], and so on. An automation of monitoring procedures, low costs, and minimization of human resources in the UAV exploitation are conducive to the dynamic growth of their use in the civilian applications. The UAV monitoring is mainly based on optical sensors, whereas take-off and landing are usually done in the same place. Currently, almost unrestricted access to low-lying areas of airspace creates an opportunity to use UAVs in transport services. In this case, the place of the take-off and landing is far removed. This significantly hinders the implementation of navigation procedures, especially at the landing stage. In this article, we present a method of automatic landing approach that can be used especially in UAV transport services over long distances.
The advantage of this mode of transport is its independence of road infrastructure, traffic volume, and difficult terrain conditions. Hence, UAVs are increasingly used to transport long distances to small postal items and medicines in hard-to-reach areas. A practical example of such a solution, developed at the initiative of the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), is the use of UAVs to transport blood samples in Malawi (Africa) . Nowadays, the transportation of blood at close distance between hospitals or other packages is already achieved. In the future, increasing the load capacity of UAVs will enable fast transport services in hard-to-reach environments such as islands, mountainous, desert, and polar areas (i.e., the Arctic and the Antarctic). In this case, vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) UAVs will play a special role, as they do not require landing strips, but only small landing pads. Hence, VTOLs may be used to land at such locations as islands, oil platforms, vessels, or skyscraper roofs.
The basic method for navigating UAVs over long distances is based on the use of a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) supported by the UAV’s own inertial navigation system (INS) [19–22]. However, these systems cannot be directly used in the final stage of the flight, that is, during landing, due to the low positioning accuracy of moving objects inherent in such systems. A practical solution to this problem is to use optical cameras, which allow the operator to remotely control the landing process. However, this method requires the use of a broadband control channel and may only be used during daylight and in good visibility conditions. Under night conditions and in poor visibility, a thermal imaging camera [6, 23–25] or synthetic aperture radar (SAR) [26–28] may be used. Furthermore, long distance wireless communications are characterized by significant delays and, in the case of the hard-to-reach areas, only satellite communications can be used. In these cases, the navigation system requires a large and expensive extension, which prevents its commercial use. High costs and, above all, the necessity to change the destination location (landing area) for the transport also prevent the use of conventional landing navigation systems [20, 21, 30, 31] such as the instrument landing system (ILS), microwave landing system (MLS), or local area augmentation system (LAAS). In this case, the operational range for these systems is limited to the space around large airports.
The high precision required for determining the current position of the object and the required flexibility in terms of landing spots limit the ability to use UAVs for air transport. Therefore, the study of a precise and simple positioning method, which would give the user flexibility in terms of landing locations and conditions, is essential for development of this transport sector. This paper presents a proposal for a solution that uses spatially distinctive features of the Doppler effect. The presented navigation procedure is based on an analytical relationship that describes the Doppler frequency shift (DFS), as a function of the receiver position . This formula is the basis of the signal processing method called the signal Doppler frequency (SDF) [33–35], which is used in the location systems of emission sources and navigation of objects [37, 38]. Using this method enables complete automation of the UAV landing procedure and eliminates the need for a broadband remote control channel. Contemporary navigational systems often make use of pulse signals. Consequently, these systems require large spectrum resources. In contrast to these solutions, the developed system is based on narrowband signals (harmonics), which minimizes the spectrum cost. Simulation studies for VTOL are performed in order to determine the effectiveness of the developed procedure, that is, the accuracy with which the flight trajectory is determined. The obtained results show the position errors that may occur during the VTOL landing process and thus provide the opportunity to evaluate the practical implementation of the developed procedure.
The remainder of the paper is organized as follows. Section 2 presents operation principles of the Doppler-based landing approach system for UAVs. The authors show a structure of this system and a navigation procedure for the landing phase. Simulation scenarios are described in Section 3. In simulation studies, the authors assume that the vehicle is VTOL-capable. In Section 4, obtained results are presented. Section 5 contains the summary of the paper.
2. Operation Principle of the Proposed Landing System
Assuming that the receiver (i.e., the UAV) moves at constant velocity, , the relationship between DFS, , and the signal source coordinates, , is described by where is the maximum DFS, is the carrier frequency of the emitted signal, and is the speed of light.
Based on (1), it follows that, for known , direction, and values of , DFS measurement gives the possibility of determining the coordinates of two possible positions of the receiver. By using a system of two reference sources that are located at the distance , we eliminate the ambiguity of the result. Averaging the results obtained from several reference sources reduces the error of estimation for the position coordinates of the object. Thus, increasing the number of reference sources increases the accuracy of the positioning of the receiver. The structure of the narrowband automatic landing system based on the SDF method is shown in Figure 1.
The basic elements of the system are the narrowband navigation receiver (NR) and GNSS receiver integrated with INS, both of which are installed in the UAV, and four radio beacons (RBs) that serve as reference signal sources. Three of RBs emit harmonic signals at frequencies , , and , respectively. The fourth RB emits a modulated signal that contains information about the location of each RB relative to the destination UAV landing site. In addition, the narrowband measurement receiver (MR) of this RB measures the current frequency of each RB. This information is also included with the modulating signal. This minimizes the impact of RB instability on the DFS determination accuracy . The frame structure of the modulating signal is presented in Figure 2. Transmission of information contained in the modulation signal frame is based on differential binary phase shift keying (DPSK). Selecting this modulation type makes it easy to eliminate signal modulation. The operation of raising the DPSK signal to the second power provides for the reconstruction of the carrier wave whose frequency includes DFS .
As shown in Figures 1 and 4, the UAV navigation process consists of two essential stages: long-range navigation and landing. Long-range navigation uses integrated GNSS + INS, because at this flight stage, accurate positioning is not a critical issue. However, the landing stage requires high positioning accuracy. The standard GNSS receiver cannot achieve such accuracy, and thus navigation stage requires the use of dedicated solutions. A generalized algorithm of the precise UAV positioning at the landing stage is shown in Figure 3.
Strictly determined DFSs, which occur for a close proximity to particular RBs, are the criterion for the transition of the UAV navigation system to the landing stage (point , see Figures 1 or 4). At a relatively large distance from the landing site, the azimuth angle, , has a dominant impact on . In this case, it iswhere is the angle between the velocity vector of the receiver (i.e., UAV) and the direction to the signal source (i.e., RB).
Hence, changes of DFSs on the (see Figures 1 or 4) line segment are the basis for correcting the UAV flight direction at a fixed altitude. Length of this segment is . Because UAV is moving in the direction of signal sources, the criterion of this correction is a simultaneous maximization of DFSs for the all RBs’ signals. In close proximity, the elevation angle begins to play a significant impact. If the smallest DFSs decrease to a certain criteria value, for example, , then UAV changes the flight direction by and begins to approach toward the nearest RB. During movement, the RBs’ coordinates are determined in NR with respect to the system whose (see Figures 1 or 4) is the origin and the -axis coincides with the direction of the new trajectory. The formulas that describe the RBs’ coordinates are defined using the SDF method where is the estimated coordinates of the th RB, , , is DFS for the th RB estimated by NR at time moment, is the carrier frequency of the th RB signal measured by MR and obtained from the last received data frame, and and are two different time moments of the DFS measurement.
The navigational coordinates of UAV are determined by transforming the RBs’ coordinates and the coordinates obtained by the system based on the UAV’s flight trajectorywhere are the real coordinates of the th RB included in each data frame and and are the estimated directions of the UAV flight in the azimuth () and elevation () planes determined relative to the destination landing site (see Figure 4) by using (3); that is,
In [33, 35, 37], analysis of the SDF method shows that the trajectory location relative to the signal source has a significant influence on the accuracy of the positioning the object. The smallest positioning error occurs when tends to , that is, when DFS converges to zero. Therefore, to minimize the navigation error, the weighted average coordinates relative to the individual RBs are used to estimate the UAV coordinates where and .
RB system simplicity gives us the ability to position the navigation system in any field conditions. Additionally, the minimization of spectral resources is a significant advantage of the presented method compared to the existing solutions.
3. Scenarios of Simulation Studies
The effectiveness of the developed navigation procedure determines the accuracy of determining the current UAV coordinates. In this paper, an assessment of the procedure accuracy is made on the basis of simulation tests, of which scenarios concern the VTOL navigation. In our studies, the following assumptions and input data are accepted:(i)landing point is the origin of the coordinate system;(ii)base of the navigation system is four RBs whose positions describe the coordinates, , where , ; the RBs’ coordinates and frequencies, , of the emitted signals are presented in Table 1;(iii)the th RBs emit the modulated DPSK signal, which contains information about the position coordinates and the current frequencies of the individual RBs;(iv)bandwidth of the DPSK signal is kHz;(v)operating frequency of NR is GHz and the reception bandwidth is about kHz;(vi)instantaneous DFS is determined every s on the basis of the spectral analysis duration of 1.0 s; basic frequency of the spectral analysis is Hz;(vii)to analyze the Doppler curves, the time windows s and s are used;(viii)in electromagnetic environment, additive noise is occurred, and the level of the emitted signals at the most distant point of the trajectory provides dB;(ix)VTOL speed is km/h = m/s and the flight altitude is m.
The research focuses on the impact assessment of various factors, such as the VTOL trajectory position and the flight direction relative to the RBs. In the first stage of simulation studies, two scenarios, Sc. 1 and Sc. 2, are examined (). Figure 4 shows their geometry in the elevation (a and b, resp., for Sc. 1 and Sc. 2) and azimuth plane (c). The second stage of the research is also based on Sc. 1 and Sc. 2. In this case, the study focuses on the impact assessment of the arrival direction in the azimuth plane, .
We assumed that the UAV is flying using the long-range navigation (GNSS + INS) method at an average altitude of . At the point , the aircraft navigation system switches to the landing phase, that is, it begins to use the navigation procedure descripted in Section 2. In Sc. 1, VTOL flies at a constant altitude to the point located above the landing site. The destination landing point is reached by reducing the altitude in the vertical direction. In the case of Sc. 2, the flight on the line segment is performed at the angle , assuming that, at the point , UAV is at the altitude . This angle is determined bywhere is the length of LP graphical projected on the azimuth plane (). In simulation studies, we assume that m and m.
The VTOL approach direction with respect to the position of RBs has also a significant influence on the navigation accuracy. The results of these studies show the required location of RBs relative to the expected direction of VTOL approach. In simulation studies, Sc. 1 and Sc. 2 are also used to evaluate the impact of the VTOL approach direction on the navigation error.
The simulation studies involve the implementation of procedures such as the generation of RBs’ harmonic signals, generation of environmental noise, and determination of the VTOL coordinates based on the estimated DFSs. Each generated harmonic signal contains DFS that results from the VTOL position relative to corresponding RB. This DFS is determined on the basis of (1). The generated environmental noise is a normal band signal, whose dynamics relative to the harmonic signal dynamics provides dB at the range of the navigation system. The VTOL positioning procedure is performed as described in Section 2.
To evaluate the positioning error, , also called the navigation error, the following metric is used:where and are the estimated and real coordinates of UAV, respectively.
The assessment of the impact of the landing trajectory position with respect to RBs is performed for and two analyzed temporal windows. Figures 5 and 6 present the navigation error versus the distance to the target landing site for and , respectively.
As you can see, the average navigation errors, on line section m for Sc. 1, are more than and times smaller compared to Sc. 2 for and , respectively. At the target landing point, these errors reach Sc. 1: m and Sc. 2: m; on the other hand Sc. 1: m and Sc. 2: m. For Sc. 2, the navigation error has a large deviation (spread), , which is m, and for Sc. 1, this error deviation does not exceed m.
The direction of the VTOL landing approach relative to the RBs’ locations has also a significant impact on . Based on Sc. 1 for , simulation studies that show a variability in navigation accuracy as a function of distance from the landing site are performed. The results of these tests, that is, versus the distance from the landing point, are shown in Figure 7 for selected values , , and .
It can be seen that the proper VTOL approach direction with respect to the landing site minimizes navigation errors. This fact results from the comparison of mean errors, which are m, m, and m, respectively, for .
However, the navigation error that occurs at the destination landing point is most significant. Hence, the influence assessment of the approach direction in the azimuth plane on the final error of the VTOL positioning is made on the basis of simulation research. For Sc. 1 and Sc. 2, the obtained results are presented in Figures 8 and 9, respectively.
For Sc. 1, the obtained results show that the average errors of the final position for all directions are smaller than m for and . In the case of Sc. 2, these errors are m and m for and , respectively. In Figure 8, we see that there are four crucial sectors of the VTOL arrival for which can reach up to m and m for and , respectively. These cases occur when the approach direction overlap with the directions set by pairs of RBs. In the case of Sc. 2 for , we can see that a distribution of the final errors has a more uniform character. This is also evidenced by the error deviations, which for Sc. 1 are larger ( m) than for Sc. 2 ( m). For , the error deviations are similar, that is, m and m for Sc. 1 and Sc. 2, respectively.
The results of the simulation tests show the high positioning accuracy of the aircraft in the landing phase. This indicates the reasonability of the practical implementation of the developed procedure. Based on the results, it can be concluded that the smaller navigation errors were obtained for Sc. 1 and the longer analysis time, that is, for . However, given the nature of the VTOL flight, the smaller time window may be more practical. In this case, the location of the flight trajectory shown in Sc. 2 may be better, due to the independence of the navigation error from the direction of landing approach.
This paper provides the navigation procedure that enables the automatic landing approach of VTOL. The developed procedure is based on the Doppler effect and can be made using a simple short-range navigation system that is mounted anywhere at the target UAV landing. Around this place, RBs are deployed, which transmit the harmonic signals and the narrowband signal containing the information about them positions. In addition, the transmission of frequency corrections ensures that the influence of frequency instability of signal sources is minimized. This navigation system can work completely independently of GNSS and requires small spectrum resources.
In the paper, the authors evaluated the impact of the UAV trajectory, the direction of landing approach relative to RBs, and the temporal window of the signal analysis on the accuracy of the developed procedure. This assessment was made on the basis of simulation studies. The results show the high precision of the VTOL positioning. Proper selection of parameters shows that the navigation error near the destination landing point is less than 1 m. The executed research has shown that the developed procedure can contribute to the full automation of the UAV landing process, which may be important for their use in transport.

The Exomars orbiter discovered a glow above Mars (ESA).
A revolving spaceship has discovered a strange green glow on Mars that was previously only seen on one planet - Earth.
The ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter (TGO) discovered bright green oxygen in the Martian atmosphere, similar to the Northern Lights on Earth.
Scroll to continue with the content
According to a study published in Nature Astronomy, scientists hunted for four decades until the satellite of the European Space Agency (ESA) discovered it.
Glowing oxygen is generated on Earth during the polar aurors when energetic electrons from interplanetary space meet the upper atmosphere and produce a characteristic green glow.

The atmospheres of Earth and Mars also shine constantly day and night, since sunlight interacts with atoms and molecules in the atmosphere.
Green night light is fairly dim on Earth, but is visible in some of the spectacular images that astronauts captured aboard the International Space Station (ISS).
This green glow has now been discovered for the first time on Mars by the ExoMars TGO, which has been orbiting Mars since October 2016.
Similar air glow seen from the International Space Station (NASA)
Jean-Claude Gerard from the University of Liège in Belgium said: “One of the brightest emissions on earth is night light.
“Especially from oxygen atoms that emit a certain wavelength of light that has never been seen on another planet.
"However, it is predicted that this emission has existed on Mars for around 40 years - and thanks to TGO, we have found it."
Read more: Life on Earth could have arrived on a comet
Gerard and colleagues were able to detect this emission using a special observation mode.
One of the orbiter's advanced instruments known as NOMAD (Nadir and Occultation for Mars Discovery), including the Ultraviolet and Visible Spectrometer (UVIS), can observe in various configurations, one of which positions its instruments so that they point directly at the Martians Surface - also known as the "Nadir" channel.
Co-author Ann Carine Vandaele of the Institut Royal d'Aeronomie Spatiale de Belgique said: “Previous observations had not captured a green glow on Mars, so we decided to align the UVIS-Nadir channel so that it points to the edge 'of Mars, similar to the perspective you see in images of the Earth taken by the ISS.
"The emission was strongest at a height of around 80 kilometers and varied depending on the changing distance between Mars and the sun."
This understanding is key to characterizing the planet's atmosphere and related phenomena - like Aurors.
By deciphering the structure and behavior of this glowing green layer of the Martian atmosphere, scientists can gain insight into an altitude range that has remained largely unexplored, and observe how it changes as the activity of the sun changes and Mars moves along its orbit moved around our star.

Photo gallery of a Boeing NB-52A Stratofortress, The Boeing B-52 Stratofortress is a long-range, subsonic, jet-powered strategic bomber. The B-52 was designed and built by Boeing, who have continued to provide support and upgrades. It has been operated by the United States Air Force (USAF) since the 1950s. The bomber carries up to 70,000 pounds (32,000 kg) of weapons. Beginning with the successful contract bid in June 1946, the B-52 design evolved from a straight-wing aircraft powered by six turboprop engines to the final prototype YB-52 with eight turbojet engines and swept wings. The B-52 took its maiden flight in April 1952. Built to carry nuclear weapons for Cold War-era deterrence missions, the B-52 Stratofortress replaced the Convair B-36. Although a veteran of several wars, the Stratofortress has dropped only conventional munitions in combat. Its Stratofortress name is rarely used outside of official contexts; it has been referred to by Air Force personnel as the BUFF (Big Ugly Fat/Flying Fucker/Fellow).

Although the fighters seen by Chakotay were simulated, it stands to reason that the Vori would accurately reproduce the technology of their enemy for training purposes.
This aircraft was not identified in the episode. It was called a "Kradin Fighter" in the Star Trek Fact Files (File 40, Card 98).
The fighter was a CGI model originally created by Foundation Imaging as a human fighter for an unproduced animated movie called Vortex. (Star Trek: Voyager Companion, p. 463) The model was thus labeled with Latin letters and coats of arms, which are not discernible on screen. The model also shows the fighter's armament to be a gun beneath the cockpit and four missiles under the wings. | aerospace | 1 |

EPIC is aboard NOAA’s Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR), where it photographs the full sunlit side of Earth every day, giving it a unique view of total solar eclipses. EPIC normally takes about 20 to 22 images of Earth per day, so this animation appears to speed up the progression of the eclipse.

"Buddy" Archer, Jr. remains the only confirmed ace of the famed Tuskegee Airmen, a group of black pilots who never lost an allied bomber to enemy air action in 200 escort missions. After excelling in high school, Archer enrolled in New York University to study international relations. In early 1941, sensing war was imminent for the United States, he applied for pilot training in the U.S. Army Air Corps. Although he passed the mental and physical examinations, Archer was refused appointment because government policy did not allow black citizens to serve in the Army Air Corps. Disappointed, but determined to contribute, Archer left school and enlisted in the Army.
In May 1942, while an instructor at Camp Wheeler, Georgia, Archer became aware the Army Air Force was accepting black candidates for pilot training under the "Tuskegee Experiment" and immediately applied. Graduating first in his class in 1943, Archer earned his wings and was commissioned a second lieutenant. He was assigned to the 302d Fighter Squadron of the 332d Fighter Group flying the Curtis P-40 Warhawk. In January 1944, after training in the Bell P-39 Airacobra, the 332d was transferred to Italy where he flew convoy escort, scrambles, reconnaissance, and strafing missions to cover Allied forces pinned down on the beaches of Anzio. In early March, his fighter group was transferred to the 306th Fighter Wing. Converting to the Republic P-47 Thunderbolt and moving to Ramitelli Air Base, Italy, Archer flew cover and escort for numerous long-range bomber missions, as well as strafing missions against enemy landing zones and troops on the march. Finally, as one of the "red-tailed angels" flying the North American P-51 Mustang, Archer flew 169 combat missions over more than 11 countries, scoring at least 5 aerial victories.
He returned stateside with an assignment to Tuskegee Army Air Field as Chief of the Instrument Instructor School. Later, Archer was selected for a regular commission and sent to UCLA to complete his college education. He held numerous post-war positions including Chief of Protocol for the French Liaison Office, Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe; White House Air Force-France Project Officer; and chief and executive officer of three international military organizations including the SHAPE Liaison Office, 36th North American Air Defense Division, and HQ USAF Southern Command, Panama. Decorated with the Distinguished Flying Cross and having received special citations from Presidents Eisenhower, Kennedy and Johnson, and the Director of the CIA, Archer retired as a Lieutenant Colonel after 29 years of service. He now resides in New Rochelle, New York.
On 18 July 1944, Lee "Buddy" Archer shot down a Messerschmitt Me 109 over Memmingen, Germany. He destroyed another on 20 July, and six more on the ground during a strafing mission in August. He added three additional victories in a single air battle over Lake Balaton, Hungary, on 13 October 1944. As one of the famous Tuskegee Airman, Lieutenant Colonel Archer's perseverance and heroic exploits helped open the way for future generations of blacks in the United States Armed Forces. | aerospace | 1 |

Vought chief test pilot John W. Konrad was at the controls of the advanced high performance aircraft.
The Vought XF8U-3 was designed to intercept and defeat adversary aircraft. Although it bore a close external resemblance to its F8U-1 and F8U-2 forbears, the XF8U-3 was much more than just a block improvement in the Crusader line. It was considerably bigger, faster, and more capable than previous Crusaders and was in reality a new airplane.
The XF8U-3 measured 58.67 feet in length and had a wing span of an inch less than 40 feet. Gross Take-Off and empty weights tipped the scales at 38,770 lbs and 21,860 lbs, respectively. Power was provided by a single Pratt and Whitney J75-P-5A generating 29,500 lbs of sea level thrust in afterburner.
A distinctive feature of the XF8U-3 was a pair of ventrally-mounted vertical tails. These surfaces were installed to improve aircraft directional stability at high Mach number. Retracted for take-off and landing, the surfaces were deployed once the aircraft was in flight.
The No. 1 XF8U-3 (S/N 146340) first flew on Monday, 02 June 1958 at Edwards Air Force, California. Vought chief test pilot John W. Konrad did the first flight piloting honors. The aircraft flew well with no major discrepancies reported. Approach and landing back at Edwards were uneventful.
Subsequent flight testing verified that the XF8U-3 was indeed a hot airplane. The type reached a top speed of Mach 2.39 and could have flown faster had its canopy had been designed for higher temperatures. The flight test-determined absolute altitude of 65 KFT was exceeded by 25 KFT in a zoom climb.
Those who flew the XF8U-3 said that the aircraft was a real thrill to fly. The Crusader III displayed outstanding acceleration, maneuverability and high-speed flight stability. Control harmony in pitch, yaw, and roll was extremely good as well.
Despite its great promise, the XF8U-3 never proceeded to production. This was primarily the result of coming up short in a head-to-head competition with the McDonnell F4H-1 Phantom II during the second half of 1958. While the Crusader was faster and more maneuverable than the Phantom, the latter’s mission capability and payload capacity were better.
Most historical records indicate that a total of five (5) Crusader III airframes were built. The serial numbers assigned by the Navy were 146340, 146341, 147085, 147086, and 147087. None of these aircraft exist today.
Forty-eight years ago this month, XB-70A Valkyrie Air Vehicle No. 2 (62-0207) took-off from Edwards Air Force Base, California for the final time.
The crew for this flight included aircraft commander and North American test pilot Alvin S. White and right-seater USAF Major Carl S. Cross. White would be making flight No. 67 in the XB-70A while Cross was making his first. For both men, this would be their final XB-70A flight.
In the past several months, Air Vehicle No. 2 had set speed (Mach 3.08) and altitude (74,000 feet) records for the type. But on this fateful Wednesday, 08 June 1966, the mission was a simple one; some run-of-the-mill flight research test points and a multi-aircraft formation photo shoot.
The General Electric Company, manufacturer of the massive XB-70A’s YJ93-GE-3 turbojets, had received permission from Edwards USAF officials to photograph the XB-70A in close formation with a quartet of other aircraft powered by GE engines. The resulting photos were intended to be used for publicity.
The formation, consisting of the XB-70A, a T-38A (59-1601), an F-4B (BuNo 150993), an F-104N (N813NA), and an F-5A (59-4898), was in position at 25,000 feet by 0845. The photographers for this event, flying in a GE-powered Gates Learjet (N175FS) stationed about 600 feet to the left and slightly aft of the multi-ship formation, began taking photos.
The photo session was planned to last 30 minutes, but went 10 minutes longer to 0925. Then at 0926, just as the formation aircraft were starting to leave the scene, the frantic cry of Midair! Midair Midair! came over the communications network.
Somehow, the NASA F-104N, piloted by NASA Chief Test Pilot Joe Walker, had collided with the right wing-tip of the XB-70A. Walker’s out-of-control F-104 then rolled inverted to the left and sheared-off the XB-70A’s twin vertical tails. The F-104N fuselage was severed just behind the cockpit and Walker was killed instantly in the process.
Curiously, the XB-70A continued on in steady, level flight for about 16 seconds despite the loss of its primary directional stability lifting surfaces. Then, as White attempted to control a roll transient, the XB-70A rapidly departed controlled flight.
As the doomed aircraft torturously pitched, yawed and rolled, its left wing structurally failed and fuel spewed furiously from its fuel tanks. White was somehow able to eject and survive. Cross never left the aircraft and rode it down to impact just north of Barstow, California.
A mishap investigation followed and (as always) blame was assigned. However, none of that changed the facts that on this, the Blackest Day at Edwards, American aviation lost two of its best men and aircraft in a flight mishap that never should have happened.
Ten years ago this month, Scaled Composite’s SpaceShipOne flew to an altitude of 62.214 statute miles. The flight marked the first time that a privately-developed flight vehicle had flown above the 62-statute mile boundary that entitles the flight crew to FAI-certified astronaut wings. As a result, SpaceShipOne pilot Mike Melvill became history’s first private citizen astronaut.
SpaceShipOne Mission 15P began with departure from California’s Mojave Spaceport at 0647 PDT. Carrying SpaceShipOne at the centerline station, Scaled’s White Knight aircraft climbed to the drop altitude of 47,000 feet.
At 0750 PDT on Monday, 21 June 2004, the 7,900-pound SpaceShipOne fell away from the White Knight and Melvill immediately ignited the 16,650-pound thrust hybrid rocket motor. Melvill quickly then pulled SpaceShipOne into a vertical climb.
Passing through 60,000 feet, SpaceShipOne experienced a series of uncommanded rolls as it encountered a wind shear. Melvill struggled with the controls in an attempt to arrest the roll transient. Then, late in the boost, the vehicle lost primary pitch trim control. In response, Melvill switched to the back-up system as he continued the ascent.
Rocket motor burnout occurred at 180,000 feet with SpaceShipOne traveling at 2,150 mph. It now only weighed 2,600 pounds. The vehicle then coasted to an apogee of 62.214 statute miles (328,490 feet). The target maximum altitude was 68.182 statute miles (360,000 feet). However, the control problems encountered going upstairs caused the trajectory to veer somewhat from the vertical.
Melvill experienced approximately 3.5 minutes of zero-g flight going over the top. He had some fun during this period as he released a bunch of M&M’s and watched the chocolate candy pieces float in the SpaceShipOne cabin.
Back to business now, Melvill transitioned SpaceShipOne to the high-drag feathered configuration in preparation for the critical entry phase of the mission. The vehicle initially accelerated to over 2,100 mph in the airless void before encountering the sensible atmosphere. At one point during atmospheric entry, Melvill experienced in excess of 5 g’s deceleration.
At 57,000 feet, Melvill reconfigured SpaceShipOne back to the standard aircraft configuration for powerless flight back to the Mojave Spaceport. Fortunately, the aircraft was a very good glider. The control problems encountered during the ascent resulted in atmospheric entry taking place 22 statute miles south of the targeted reentry point.
SpaceShipOne touched-down on Mojave Runway 12/30 at 0814 PDT; thus ending an historic, if not harrowing mission.
After the flight, Mike Melvill had much to say. But perhaps the following quote says it best for the rest of us who can only imagine what it was like: “And it was really an awesome sight, I mean it was like nothing I’ve ever seen before. And it blew me away, it really did. … You really do feel like you can reach out and touch the face of God, believe me.”
Fifty-seven years ago this month, the USAF/Convair XB-58A supersonic bomber exceeded twice the speed of sound for the first time. Convair test pilot Beryl A. Erickson was at the controls of the famed delta-winged beauty.
The B-58A Hustler was the United States first supersonic-capable bomber and was originally designed for the strategic mission. The aircraft was powered by four (4) General Electric J79-GE-5A turbojets generating 62,400 lbs of sea level thrust in afterburner. Maximum take-off weight was nearly 177,000 lbs.
Convair’s stunning delta-winged bomber was 97 feet in length with a wing span of 57 feet. Wing area was roughly 1,550 square feet. Aircraft maximum height was 30 feet as measured from the ground to the top of the vertical tail.
Flight crew for the B-58A consisted of the pilot, bombadier/navigator, and defensive systems operator. The crew was arranged in tandem with each crew member seated in a separate cockpit. The type carried thermonuclear ordnance. A total of 116 B-58A aircraft were manufactured.
The B-58A performance was impressive then and now. It had a maximum speed of 1,400 mph and a service ceiling of 63,400 feet. The aircraft could climb in excess of 17,000 feet per minute at gross take-off weight and up to 46,000 feet per minute near minimum weight.
On Saturday, 29 June 1957, USAF/Convair XB-58A (S/N 55-660) first attained its double-sonic design airspeed when it flew to Mach 2.03 at an altitude of 43,250 feet. This historic achievement took place on the type’s 24th flight. Mission total elapsed time was 1 hour and 55 minutes.
The Hustler had a difficult gestation due to its advanced design and demanding performance requirements. A number of aircraft and flight crews were lost due to a variety of baffling flight control and structural problems. First flight took place on 11 November 1956 with the type finally entering service on 15 March 1960.
The USAF/Convair B-58A Hustler was operational for just 10 years and was retired from the USAF inventory on 31 January 1970. The aircraft was never used in anger. | aerospace | 1 |

Rarely do such successful trips end in what is essentially going to be a crash landing.
But the European Space Agency’s Rosetta mission, carrying two instruments from Boulder’s Southwest Research Institute, is planning to do just that early Friday when it is scheduled to terminate a two-year orbital probe of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko by being put down on its surface.
“The spacecraft is an orbiter, and was not designed to land,” said SwRI’s Alan Stern. He is the principal investigator on Alice, the miniaturized ultraviolet spectrograph aboard Rosetta that has been mapping the comet’s surface during the time Rosetta has been orbiting the comet.
“They’re disposing of it on the surface of the comet,” Stern said. “It will come in at a very low speed — about walking speed — but it isn’t expected to survive the impact.”
Stern made his remarks while waiting to board a plane to take him to Darmstadt, Germany, the location of ESA’s mission control for Rosetta. He was to join three other SwRI scientists from Boulder who had traveled there ahead of him.
The 5:20 a.m. MDT landing is scheduled to be streamed live on NASA Television, with the broadcast scheduled to run from 4:15 a.m. to 6 a.m. MDT.
While space missions had conducted flybys of comets before, Rosetta was the first to enter into a long-term relationship with one, orbiting it for two years as it investigated the origin, composition and dynamics of 67P’s atmosphere and surface.
In doing so, it collected high-resolution data that is facilitating insights not possible with ground-based or Earth-orbital observations
“The Rosetta mission has provided an unprecedented window into the origin of comets and the way comets work,” SwRI’s Joel Parker, Alice’s deputy principal investigator, said in a news release.
Stern, associate vice president for SwRI’s Space and Science Engineering Division, said the shoebox-sized Alice did its job “perfectly,” recording more than 70,000 spectra in two years, yielding a treasure-trove of data to be studied for some time to come.
Among its discoveries is the fact that the comet possesses an unexpectedly porous, dark, “fluffy” surface. Actual collection of data stops when Rosetta makes contact with the comet.
“The data (transmission) will stop when the spacecraft is turned off at landing. There will be no more data after that,” Stern said. “But there is a vast backlog of data and we have pretty much been triaging data as it comes to the ground, The project will continue until the middle of 2018 for data analysis.”
Alice is one of two instruments built and operated for Rosetta by SwRI. The second was the 1-kilogram Ion and Electron Spectrometer, which achieves sensitivity comparable to instruments weighing five times more. IES gathered data about the interaction of the solar wind with the comet’s expanding atmosphere, or coma.
Rosetta is famous for more than the fact of its long-term study of the comet from near orbit.
In November 2014, 10 years after its launch, Rosetta released the landing vehicle Philae, which was successfully put down on the comet’s surface, the first time that had ever been achieved with a spacecraft.
However, Philae actually bounced upon its touchdown, and its precise location remained a mystery until early this month, when, on Sept. 2, Rosetta’s OSIRIS camera captured a clear image of the lander wedged in a dark crack at a location later named Abydos, a site on the smaller of the comet’s two principal lobes.
Philae sent data back to Earth for about three days before its battery ran out, sending it into hibernation. It did recharge sufficiently, as the comet drew closer to the sun, to communicate briefly with Rosetta in mid-2015.
Parker said at the time of Philae’s finally being located, “I had given Philae up for lost. It’s nice to end the Rosetta story finding out where Philae was. It kind of puts a nice bow around it before the mission is over.”
On Thursday, Stern said he did not see the lander’s going temporarily AWOL as a strike against the mission’s overall success.
“I don’t think so at all,” Stern said. “I think landing on a comet was really a big challenge. They took their best shot at it and they had a success. They got data from the surface.”
The member states of the European Space Agency and NASA both contributed to the Rosetta mission. NASA’s Jet Propulsion Lab managed the U.S. contribution to Rosetta for NASA’s Science Mission Directorate in Washington, D.C. | aerospace | 1 |

This increase in deliveries is expected worldwide, even in North America where an improvement in buying plans is forecasted for the first time in five years. Several regions are also planning on replacing and/or expending their aircraft fleet, especially Latin America.
In comparison to last year’s survey, purchase plans for new helicopters are 35% higher. The light single-engined aircraft would dominate the demand, particularly the Eurocopter EC130/AS350 series, Bell 407 and Robinson R66 aircraft. According to Honeywell, this increase in demand would be caused by several factors such as aging aircraft fleets, contractual and operational requirements, expiring warranties, etc.
The light twin class also received 25%, with the EC135, Bell 429 and AW109 series helicopters leading.
“Supporting the growth numbers is the fact that helicopter usage for corporate, oil and gas, utility, and training missions is improving, which shows that helicopters are value-add aircraft in today’s business environment.” said Brian Sill, VP of Honeywell aftermarket helicopter sales.
A survey conveyed by Honeywell revealed that six types of aircraft would more likely be recommended by operators: (in alphabetical order) AW139, Bell 206 series, 407 and 412, EC130/AS350 and Sikorsky S-76.

India has been deploying satellites at a steady pace, with 39 operational satellites currently in orbit, not counting academic satellites launched by students. To meet an increase in demand, Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro) plans to enter into partnerships with Indian industries to manufacture the systems and sub systems. In an upcoming PSLV-C37 mission, Isro will attempt to launch a world record of 104 satellites on a single spaceflight. Most of the satellites on board are going to be small CubeSats, but the main payload is an Indigenous Earth imaging satellite in the CartoSat-2 series, weighing 730 kg. In a meeting with school students, Isro Chief explained how these satellites are useful to the country.
The Chairman of Isro AS Kiran Kumar said "we are making use of technology to address the problems faced on earth." Inaugurating a two-day ‘mega science fair’ at a school in Puducherry, Kiran Kumar said, "We are making use of technology to address the problems faced in augmenting educational capability, enhancing tele-medicine facility for the people in remote areas and islands."
He noted that the government is making use of large quantum of information generated by satellites and providing capability for improved governance. Kumar also pointed out that applied data was being used to find water resources and drill bore wells, while satellite data was helpful for several other activities.
Calling on the younger generation to keep nurturing their curiosity, he said, "the youth should not refrain from questioning and they should take their curiosity to the next level even if no answer was available to their questions." You should learn from others` mistakes and build up your capability, he advised the young boys who had gathered at the venue.
Stating that communication through satellites had been benefiting farmers, fishermen and others, he said, presently there were 38 satellites developed and launched by "our own launch vehicle and they are furnishing information relating to various areas including making available advance information about cyclones and sometimes super cyclone. Satellite has no boundaries, either national or international and collects information on surface of earth, vegetation, clouds and even pollution," he said highlighting the quantum of work that had gone into the Mars Mission and Chandrayaan-I. Kumar interacted with the students and visited various stalls.

The historic first mission of the reusable orbiter system, made by the Space Shuttle Columbia and told by a forward-looking NASA.
OPENING NEW FRONTIERS (1982, 46 Minutes)
A 1982 NASA film documenting the first four missions of the Space Transportation System's hero orbiter Columbia.
WE DELIVER (1983, 31 Minutes)
The first four manned missions of the space shuttle program, all missions flown by Space Shuttle Columbia, are recounted and reviewed.
SPACE SHUTTLE COLUMBIA: THE SECOND FLIGHT (1983, 29 Minutes)
The space shuttle Columbia is here celebrated after its second mission for having brought aloft the first non-American astronaut, Ulf Merbold, and for having devoted itself entirely to the creation of Spacelab I, a mutual NASA/European Space Agency project intended to create a scientific research facility in space.
The Space Shuttle was a partially reusable low Earth orbital spacecraft system operated from 1981 to 2011 by the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) as part of the Space Shuttle program. Its official program name was Space Transportation System (STS), taken from a 1969 plan for a system of reusable spacecraft where it was the only item funded for development. The first of four orbital test flights occurred in 1981, leading to operational flights beginning in 1982. Five complete Space Shuttle orbiter vehicles were built and flown on a total of 135 missions from 1981 to 2011, launched from the Kennedy Space Center (KSC) in Florida. Operational missions launched numerous satellites, interplanetary probes, and the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), conducted science experiments in orbit, participated in the Shuttle-Mir program with Russia, and participated in construction and servicing of the International Space Station (ISS). The Space Shuttle fleet's total mission time was 1,322 days, 19 hours, 21 minutes and 23 seconds. Space Shuttle components include the Orbiter Vehicle (OV) with three clustered Rocketdyne RS-25 main engines, a pair of recoverable solid rocket boosters (SRBs), and the expendable external tank (ET) containing liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen. The Space Shuttle was launched vertically, like a conventional rocket, with the two SRBs operating in parallel with the orbiter's three main engines, which were fueled from the ET. The SRBs were jettisoned before the vehicle reached orbit, and the ET was jettisoned just before orbit insertion, which used the orbiter's two Orbital Maneuvering System (OMS) engines. At the conclusion of the mission, the orbiter fired its OMS to deorbit and reenter the atmosphere. The orbiter was protected during reentry by its thermal protection system tiles, and it glided as a spaceplane to a runway landing, usually to the Shuttle Landing Facility at KSC, Florida, or to Rogers Dry Lake in Edwards Air Force Base, California. If the landing occurred at Edwards, the orbiter was flown back to the KSC on the Shuttle Carrier Aircraft, a specially modified Boeing 747. The first orbiter, Enterprise, was built in 1976 and used in Approach and Landing Tests, but had no orbital capability. Four fully operational orbiters were initially built: Columbia, Challenger, Discovery, and Atlantis. Of these, two were lost in mission accidents: Challenger in 1986 and Columbia in 2003, with a total of 14 astronauts killed. A fifth operational (and sixth in total) orbiter, Endeavour, was built in 1991 to replace Challenger. The Space Shuttle was retired from service upon the conclusion of Atlantis's final flight on July 21, 2011. The U.S. relied on the Russian Soyuz spacecraft to transport astronauts to the ISS from the last Shuttle flight until the launch of the Crew Dragon Demo-2 mission in May 2020 on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket as part of the Commercial Crew Program.
Space Shuttle Columbia (OV-102) was a Space Shuttle orbiter manufactured by Rockwell International and operated by NASA. Named after the first American ship to circumnavigate the upper North American pacific coast and the female personification of the United States, Columbia was the first of five Space Shuttle orbiters to fly in space, debuting the Space Shuttle launch vehicle on its maiden flight in April 1981. As only the second full-scale orbiter to be manufactured after the Approach and Landing Test vehicle Enterprise, Columbia retained unique features indicative of its experimental design compared to later orbiters, such as test instrumentation and distinctive black chines. In addition to a heavier fuselage and the retention of an internal airlock throughout its lifetime, these made Columbia the heaviest of the five spacefaring orbiters; around 1,000 kilograms (2,200 pounds) heavier than Challenger and 3,600 kilograms (7,900 pounds) heavier than Endeavour. Columbia also carried ejection seats based on those from the SR-71 during its first six flights until 1983, and from 1986 onwards carried an external scientific instrument bay on its vertical stabilizer. During its 22 years of operation, Columbia was flown on 28 missions in the Space Shuttle program, spending over 300 days in space and completing over 4,000 orbits around Earth. While it was seldom used after completing its objective of testing the Space Shuttle system, and its heavier mass and internal airlock made it unideal for planned Shuttle-Centaur launches and dockings with space stations, it nonetheless proved useful as a workhorse for scientific research in orbit following the loss of Challenger in 1986. Columbia was used for eleven of the fifteen flights of Spacelab laboratories, all four United States Microgravity Payload missions, and the only flight of Spacehab's Research Double Module. The Extended Duration Orbiter pallet was used by the orbiter in thirteen of the pallet's fourteen flights, which aided lengthy stays in orbit for scientific and technological research missions. Columbia was also used to retrieve the Long Duration Exposure Facility and deploy the Chandra observatory, and also carried into space the first female commander of an American spaceflight mission, the first ESA astronaut, the first female astronaut of Indian origin, and the first Israeli astronaut. At the end of its final flight in February 2003, Columbia disintegrated upon reentry, killing the seven-member crew of STS-107 and destroying most of the scientific payloads aboard. The Columbia Accident Investigation Board convened shortly afterwards concluded that damage sustained to the orbiter's left wing during the launch of STS-107 fatally compromised the vehicle's thermal protection system. The loss of Columbia and its crew led to a refocusing of NASA's human exploration programs and led to the establishment of the Constellation program in 2005 and the eventual retirement of the Space Shuttle program in 2011. Numerous memorials and dedications were made to honour the crew following the disaster; the Columbia Memorial Space Center was opened as a national memorial for the accident, and the Columbia Hills in Mars' Gusev crater, which the Spirit rover explored, were named after the crew. The majority of Columbia's recovered remains are stored at the Kennedy Space Center's Vehicle Assembly Building, though some pieces are on public display at the nearby Visitor Complex. | aerospace | 1 |

The move comes at the request of the Malaysian Government which wants to reassess the week-old hunt for the Boeing 777.
Kuala Lumpur wants to reassess the week-old hunt for the aircraft which is suspected of being deliberately flown off course.
India had been combing two areas, one around the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, and a second, further west, in the Bay of Bengal. Both operations have been suspended, but may yet resume, defence officials said.
"It's more of a pause," said Commander Babu, a spokesman for the country's Eastern Naval Command.
"The Malaysian authorities are reassessing the situation. They will figure whether they need to shift the area of search."
Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak yesterday confirmed the Boeing 777 jet was deliberately diverted from its planned route between his country's capital Kuala Lumpur and Beijing.
Investigators said trackers aboard the plane, which transmit its location to air traffic controllers, were disabled moments after take-off last Friday.
And the airliner could have flown on for seven hours after vanishing from radar over the South China Sea.
The jet vanished in the early hours of the 8th.
Experts say it could have crossed up to 14 countries and landed safely in Kazakhstan or crashed into the Indian Ocean.
Investigators believe someone with flying experience took the cockpit controls and steered Flight MH370 off its planned route.
A Malaysian government official said the hijacking theory was now "conclusive".
Radar tracks show the plane climbing and descending in unusual patterns, which should have alerted air traffic controllers that something was wrong.
MH370 flew to 45,000ft - almost 2,000ft above what Boeing says is its maximum recommended height - before descending to 23,000ft.
It changed course at least twice from its scheduled route - first to fly west back towards Malaysia and then north west into one of two air lanes used by commercial planes.
A total of 57 ships, 48 aircraft and 13 nations are taking part in the air and sea search .
Loaded with maximum fuel, a Boeing 777 plane can fly for 7,725 miles.
But aviation experts said it was unlikely it would have that much in the tanks for its scheduled flight path.
If MH370 flew through other countries' airspaces it should have triggered national air defences.
Flight Global's operations and safety editor David Learmount said: "If it has flown north, why have none of the countries it has flown over
"That's the thing that baffles me more than any other. They would have sent up aircraft to investigate. If it's gone south there's nothing there until you hit Antarctica."
Boeing 777s need a runway up to a mile long to land, making it unlikely it touched down safely on a remote Asian strip.
"I can't think which airfield it would be - and what would they do with the passengers?" said Mr Learmount.
Malaysian authorities have been criticised for keeping the possibility of a hijack secret for eight days.
Mr Learmount said their "total incompetence is unforgivable", and created more agony for families desperate for news.
Malaysian PM Razak said yesterday: "We can say with a high degree of certainty that the aircraft communications addressing and reporting system was disabled just before it reached the east coast of peninsular Malaysia.
"Shortly afterwards the aircraft's transponder was switched off.
"From this point onwards, the Royal Malaysian Air Force primary radar showed an aircraft believed to be MH370 did indeed turn back. It then flew in a westerly direction back over peninsular Malaysia before turning north west.
"These movements are consistent with deliberate action by someone on the plane." | aerospace | 1 |

There are many paths, but this article will outline a few basic things you should consider when getting started in the flight training process. Flight training can be one of the most rewarding endeavors of your lifetime, so it is important to educate yourself and get a good start.
Many people have a lifelong dream of learning to fly. Unfortunately, for most people who are genuinely interested in learning to fly, the perception is that it's too expensive, too time consuming, or too difficult. Undoubtedly, these are certainly very real considerations when deciding to take up flight training. For example, one notion is that flying is an expensive endeavor. It is expensive, however, is it more expensive than other hobbies or toys that many adults get involved in like boating, motorcycles, or RV'ing? You may be surprised to hear that flying can less expensive than some of those hobbies. Well then, is it too time consuming? I once took a student from no experience to a private pilot in eighteen days from start to finish, including the written exam. I generally suggest spreading the training out over more time to experience more weather, etc, but the point is, with the right mindset, a private pilots license can by achieved relatively quickly. What about being too difficult? None of the knowledge required is necessarily difficult, it's just a lot of information from many different subject areas. With the right study plan, it's not too difficult. Here are some tips to follow if you are truly interested in earning a pilots license.
First, go to your local airport and visit your local flight school. I recommend that you start with a "discovery" flight. Most flight schools offer some version of this flight as an orientation into flight training and it's relatively inexpensive, usually between $100-$200 depending on the type of aircraft you fly. This is the best way to determine if flying is a good fit for you. Please understand that if it is your first time in a small airplane, you will most likely be nervous. This doesn't mean you aren't cut out to be a pilot. Most students are nervous on those first few flights, and I was terrified on my first flight. However, once the flight is over and you reflect on your experience, you will most likely know if you at least want to try it again. You may even get the opportunity to fly the airplane and do some basic maneuvering. Trust your instructor, they will not let you get into a situation where you could put yourself or them in danger. It is also a good idea to visit several nearby flight schools as pricing, aircraft, and staff personalities can vary greatly from airport to airport.
Second, try to find a mentor who is already a pilot that you can reach out to during the process. In my experience, student pilots that go through training with someone else or have a mentor pilot, have a much better overall experience and success rate than the average student. I was fortunate enough to have an old friend that owned a Cessna 150 who gave me advice when I needed it. Also, make sure to choose an instructor that you have a good rapport with, and you can call or contact outside of the flight school to get advice and get questions answered. I was also fortunate to have very compassionate instructors that I could call any time and get questions and concerns addressed promptly. If you can't find a mentor, message me through Pilots League and I will be glad to help you any way I can, schedule permitting.
Third, once you have chosen the best flight school for you, determine the total cost of the training. I DO NOT recommend getting started in actual flying with an instructor until you have budged for the entire amount necessary to finish the training. I learned this the hard way. I would save up for 5 or 6 hours and then have to sit our for a month or two to save up for another block of 5-10 hours. The result was that it took me much longer to complete and it ended up being much more expensive than it would have been if i'd been able to train continuously with no interruptions. I ended up having to re-learn skills I had lost during my breaks and it got extremely frustrating. After the discovery flight, if you still have a burning desire to become a pilot but can't afford the entire flight training course, purchase the books and gain as much of the knowledge as you can, but don't start the flying portion until you have enough saved or financed to finish it completely.
Lastly, remember that many airports also have flying clubs that you can join that can greatly reduce your flying/rental costs. Most flying clubs require you to pay a fee to join and a monthly membership fee, but the hourly costs of the actual aircraft can be 1/3 to 1/2 of comparable rates of nearby flight schools. Additionally, most flying clubs have a list of quality instructors that would be willing to give you the training you need. If your budget is a big concern, this is certainly something to consider.
If becoming a pilot is your dream, go for it! I started my flight training over 12 years ago, and believe me, I learned all of the tips above the hard way. Becoming a pilot has been a life changing endeavor for me and it's become my passion. After my initial few months of flight training at a local flight school and after becoming very frustrated, I bought that little Cessna 150 from my friend and finished my license in my own airplane with a local instructor(If aircraft ownership is your dream, check out my article on Aircraft Ownership for more lessons learned the hard way:)). Most importantly, once you get started and even after you finish, never stop learning. As pilots, we have a tremendous responsibility in terms of safety to ourselves and those around us, and when we pursue our goal of becoming a pilot, I believe we also have a duty to be the best pilots we can be, for ourselves, our passengers, and those around us.

In May of 1919 the US Navy sent NC-1, NC-2, NC-3 and NC-4 on their way to the first transatlantic flight. There were many issues along the way and the NC-4 was the only one that made the flight across the Atlantic. (link)
The US Navy's Curtiss NC-4 was the first airplane to achieve the transatlantic flight.
The US Navy wanted the best of the best equipment in these planes and wanted the communication systems to be to top notch. They wanted the planes to be able to communicate with land and sea bases as well as communicate between each other.
The communication radio system was a combined effort by the International Radio Telegraph Company (CQ) and the famous Lang Airplane Propeller Company (link). International Radio Telegraph Company (CQ) was only around from 1918-1920 (link)

Joseph has always been interested in outer space and space flight. He was active in his high school's robotics club, so studying aerospace engineering seemed a natural fit. He enjoys exploring ideas which have never been done, and which "could literally open new horizons for human exploration."
As an undergraduate he participated in research project in partnership with NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, creating a testbed for relative navigation sensors and control algorithms. Joseph has also interned at Goddard , optimizing reaction wheel design for cubesats. His mentor challenged him, but also guided him as Joseph taught himself so he could better perform his summer research. As a freshman and as part of his coursework, he participated in high-altitude balloon payload development. Since then, he has mentored the freshman teams. He has also volunteered for a number of organizations and activities, including the Science Olympiad, on-campus competitions for local high schools and middle schools, teaching them not only the engineering, but also that engineers and mathematicians are cool people to hang out with.
His advice for those applying for scholarships is to choose references "who can speak to the same projects that have inspired them to choose their current career path."
In his free time, Joseph figure skates, which he says is the "only activity I've ever found that is more challenging than building spacecraft." | aerospace | 1 |

On Monday, NASA released its first high-quality video of Perseverance rover landing on the surface of Mars, a three-minute trailer that shows the huge orange and white parachute rushing open and the red dust rising as the spacecraft's rocket engines are lowered to the surface. The footage was so good - and the photos so impressive - that the rover team members said they felt like they were riding with them. Here are some picture:
“It gives me goosebumps every time I see it, just amazing,” said Dave Gruel, head of the entry and descent camera team. In the picture above, the surface of Mars directly below NASA's Mars Perseverance rover is seen using the Rover Down-Look Camera in an image acquired.
NASA released the first video of the rover on Mars some time ago. The video was uploaded to the US space agency's official social media handle. In the picture, a portion of a panorama made up of individual images taken by the Navigation Cameras, or Navcams, aboard NASA’s Perseverance Mars rover shows the Martian landscape.

In the picture, the surface of Mars directly below NASA's Mars Perseverance rover is seen using the Rover Down-Look Camera in an image acquired.
NASA said that this Mars mission landing was the first time in history that they could see many angles and feel what it was like to land on the Red Planet. In the picture, NASA's Perseverance rover descends to touch down on Mars in a still image from a video camera aboard the descent stage.
The first high-resolution, color image to be sent back by the Hazard Cameras (Hazcams) on the underside of NASA's Perseverance Mars rover is seen after its landing on Mars.
Prior to landing, the robotic vehicle Perseverance flew across space for nearly seven months, traveling a distance of 293 million miles (472 million km) before penetrating the Martian atmosphere at a speed of 12,000 miles per hour (19,000 km per hour) to begin descending to the planet's surface. In the picture, the surface of Mars directly below NASA's Mars Perseverance rover is seen using the Rover Down-Look Camera in an image acquired.
The deck of NASAs Perseverance Mars rover, featuring the PIXL (Planetary Instrument for X-ray Lithochemistry), one of the instruments on its stowed arm, is seen in an image taken by the rover's navigation cameras on Mars.
NASA's stationary landing craft InSight, which arrived on Mars in 2018 to study its deep interior, previously measured seismic signals on the planet that were "acoustically controlled" and then "visualized as sound." In the picture above, a green dot marks where NASA's Perseverance Mars rover landed in Jezero Crater on Mars.
But deputy project manager Matt Wallace said he believes the Martian breeze is the first ambient sound recorded directly on the surface of Mars and reproduced by humans. In the picture, a panorama made up of six individual images taken by the Navigation Cameras, or Navcams, aboard NASA's Perseverance Mars rover shows the Martian landscape.

These airborne devices, including aerial vehicles, aerial systems, and uncrewed aircraft, while innovative, can be repurposed for hostile intentions, necessitating robust countermeasures such as jammers. This post delves into the strategies and technologies developed to neutralize such threats, including destructive neutralisation, cyber takeover, kinetic mitigation, and surveillance. From advanced detection systems, including radars and surveillance, to electronic and cyber warfare tactics, understanding these countermeasures and mitigation strategies is crucial for maintaining airspace safety in an era where technology often outpaces regulation.
Effective countermeasures against hostile UAVs require a deep understanding of counter-drone technology, emphasizing the importance of staying updated with the latest advancements in the field.
Implementing drone monitoring and detection techniques is crucial for early identification of potential threats, enabling timely response actions to neutralize hostile drones.
The integration of advanced detection and neutralization methods is essential for enhancing security measures against UAV threats, highlighting the need for a multi-layered approach in counter-UAS strategies.
Overcoming the challenges in implementing counter-drone measures involves addressing legal, ethical, and technological barriers, underscoring the importance of comprehensive planning and collaboration among stakeholders.
Keeping abreast of the evolution of drones and countermeasures allows for better anticipation of future threats and the development of more effective counter-strategies.
Developing a comprehensive Counter-Unmanned Aircraft System (C-UAS) strategy is key to effectively countering drone threats, requiring ongoing assessment and adaptation to incorporate future advancements in technology.
Understanding Counter-Drone Technology
Counter-drone technologies begin with detection. This step is crucial in identifying potential threats from unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), including hostile UAS, using radars for air defense and mitigation. Systems use radar, radio frequency (RF) scanners, laser, and acoustic sensors to detect UAVs in the air through both electronic and kinetic means.
Radar systems spot drones by their movements. RF scanners and radars pick up control signals between the drone and its operator in the air, extending the range. Acoustic and RF sensors listen for the unique kinetic sounds of UAV propellers in the air.
Once detected, neutralizing hostile UAVs is next. There are both passive and active methods for this purpose, using RF in the air over a range.
Passive systems, using RF and air range, include geofencing and spoofing to mislead or restrict drones’ operations within certain areas without direct confrontation. Active countermeasures involve more direct approaches like jamming RF and air signals that disrupt control or even physical interception methods such as nets or other drones designed to capture or disable the intruding UAV.
Compliance with RF regulations is essential when deploying and using counter-UAS solutions. Different countries have varying laws regarding RF use, airspace security, and privacy concerns related to drone operations.
Operators must ensure their RF counter-drone measures do not violate these laws. For example, signal jamming could interfere with vital communication channels beyond just controlling a rogue drone, posing broader risks.
Understanding local regulations helps in choosing appropriate countermeasures while maintaining legal integrity during deployment.
Drone Monitoring and Detection Techniques
Radar, RF scanners, and acoustic sensors are crucial for UAV detection. Radars offer wide detection range capabilities. They can identify drones from a distance. RF scanners track radio signals emitted by drones. This helps in locating them accurately.
Acoustic sensors use microphones to detect the sound of drone propellers. These RF sensors are effective in close-range scenarios where other methods may fail. The combination of these technologies increases situational awareness significantly.
The role of AI is transformative in drone monitoring systems. It enhances accuracy by analyzing data from radars, RF scanners, and acoustic sensors quickly. AI algorithms can distinguish between different types of drones based on their sensor emissions.
This capability allows for immediate identification and response to potential threats. AI also improves the tracking of a drone’s flight path back to its control station.
Miniaturized drones present significant challenges to current detection efforts.
Their small size reduces radar cross-sections.
Acoustic signatures are quieter.
These factors make them harder to detect using conventional methods like radar or optical sensors alone.
Innovative solutions such as combining multiple sensor types or developing new detection technologies might be necessary to counter this threat effectively.
Advanced Techniques to Detect and Neutralize Hostile Drones
Directed energy weapons, such as lasers, offer a hard kill solution against hostile drones. They can immediately neutralize aerial vehicles without collateral damage. These devices focus a high-energy beam directly onto the target. This results in the instant destruction or disabling of the drone.
Lasers are precise and cause minimal environmental impact. They operate silently and at the speed of light, making them effective even against fast-moving targets in airspace.
Electronic warfare tactics disrupt or take control of uncrewed aircraft systems through electronic means. Devices known as jammers interfere with the drone’s communications. This can force it to land or veer off course.
This approach includes using electromagnetic pulses (EMPs) to disable drones’ electronics without physical destruction. It allows air defense systems to protect sensitive areas from aerial threats while minimizing damage.
Net-capture systems provide a non-destructive method for intercepting drones. These systems physically capture aerial vehicles using nets fired from ground-based units or other drones.
This technique is ideal for scenarios where preserving the drone for analysis is necessary. It avoids causing harm that could lead to unintended consequences in populated areas.
Integration of Counter-UAS Technology for Enhanced Security
Sensor AI Fusion
Integrating sensor data with artificial intelligence (AI) marks a significant step in combating hostile UAVs. This combination allows for the dynamic prediction and mitigation of drone threats. Sensors collect real-time data about drones, including their type, location, and trajectory.
AI analyzes this data to predict potential threats. It can identify patterns that humans might miss. For instance, it can detect a drone’s communication link or control system being manipulated. This enables security teams to react swiftly to neutralize threats.
The importance of interoperability between different counter-drone systems cannot be overstated for comprehensive coverage. Various units use RF analysers and kinetic counters to detect and neutralize UAVs. However, these systems must communicate effectively with each other.
Interoperability ensures that when one unit detects a threat, all others are alerted. This creates a unified defense strategy against hostile UAS attacks.
Several high-security environments have successfully integrated counter-UAS technology.
Airports have deployed systems that combine radar detection with AI algorithms.
Prisons use RF analysers to prevent drones from delivering contraband.
These case studies demonstrate the effectiveness of combining various technologies for enhanced security against hostile UAVs.
Challenges in Implementing Counter-Drone Measures
Deploying countermeasures against hostile UAVs involves navigating a complex legal landscape. Authorities must ensure their actions comply with both domestic and international laws. This compliance is crucial when using force to neutralize potential threats.
The ethical implications are significant. Decision-makers weigh the risks of collateral damage against the necessity of mitigation efforts. They must consider how these actions affect public perception and trust.
Detecting small or low-flying drones poses technical challenges. These UAVs can easily blend into urban landscapes, making them difficult to identify among everyday electronic signals. Effective detection systems require advanced technology that can distinguish these threats from benign objects.
Counter-UAS solutions must evolve rapidly to keep pace with drone advancements. This need for constant innovation underscores the importance of robust research and development programs within this field.
Maintaining state-of-the-art defenses incurs substantial costs. Governments and private entities alike assess the financial implications of investing in counter-drone technologies. Budget constraints often limit the scope of deployment, affecting overall security posture.
Investments include not only procurement but also ongoing maintenance and upgrades necessary to adapt to evolving threats.
Evolution of Drones and Countermeasures
The arms race between drone technology and countermeasures began as soon as drones were utilized for military purposes. Initially, drones were simple remote-controlled devices used for reconnaissance. However, their capabilities rapidly evolved to include payload delivery systems, making them a significant threat.
Countermeasure development lagged initially but has since caught up. Early responses included physical interception or shooting down drones. Now, advanced electronic devices are employed to neutralize UAVs without causing collateral damage.
The surge in commercial drone usage has forced a rethink in security protocols worldwide. Previously, airspace was not considered vulnerable to such accessible threats from non-state actors or individuals. The proliferation of these devices introduced new challenges.
Security agencies now monitor flight paths more rigorously. They also work closely with manufacturers to implement “no-fly zones” within drones’ operating software, preventing them from entering sensitive areas.
Defense systems have had to evolve rapidly to keep pace with the increasing sophistication of UAV technologies. One notable strategy is the use of EMP (Electromagnetic Pulse) weapons that can disable drones mid-flight by frying their electronic circuits without affecting surrounding infrastructure.
Another approach involves hacking into the drone’s control systems to either take over control or feed it false information, effectively rendering it useless or turning it against its operator.
Future Advancements in Countering Drone Threats
Machine learning algorithms hold the potential to revolutionize counter-drone strategies. These technologies can autonomously detect and neutralize UAV threats without human intervention. The use of artificial intelligence (AI) enhances response times and accuracy.
Developers are focusing on creating AI systems that can identify drones based on their size, shape, and flight patterns. Once a threat is detected, these systems could automatically deploy countermeasures. This approach reduces the risk of human error and increases efficiency.
The development of stealth technology for drones aims to make them invisible to current detection methods. This advancement may require existing countermeasure systems to adapt rapidly.
Stealth technology involves reducing a drone’s radar signature through design modifications or materials that absorb radar waves. Some vendors are exploring ways to minimize sound emissions as well, making drones harder to detect by conventional means.
Global collaboration plays a crucial role in standardizing counter-drone measures. Countries around the world recognize the need for unified approaches against hostile UAVs.
Efforts include sharing research findings, technologies, and strategies among nations. Such collaboration ensures that advancements in drone technology do not outpace defensive measures. It also promotes cost-effective solutions by pooling resources and knowledge.
Developing a Comprehensive C-UAS Strategy
A multi-layered approach is crucial for an effective countermeasure strategy against hostile UAVs. This method combines detection, identification, and mitigation strategies. Detection involves using radar, acoustic sensors, and visual tracking to locate UAVs. Identification then determines whether the UAV poses a threat based on its trajectory, type, and behavior.
Mitigation strategies are deployed once a threat is confirmed. These can include jamming signals to disrupt control or physical measures like nets or projectiles to neutralize the UAV. Each layer serves as a backup for the others, ensuring no single point of failure.
Continuous training and simulation exercises play a vital role in preparedness against UAV threats. Regular drills help teams stay sharp and ready to respond quickly under real-world conditions. Simulation provides a safe environment to test new tactics without risk.
These exercises also allow for the evaluation of team coordination and effectiveness of communication protocols during an incident. The goal is always swift and decisive action with minimal collateral damage.
Evaluating the effectiveness of current C-UAS strategies through regular testing is essential. It ensures that all components of the strategy are functioning as intended and identifies areas for improvement.
Regular updates should be applied based on these evaluations. Technological advancements may offer new tools or methods that can enhance existing strategies.
The exploration of countermeasures against hostile UAVs underscores the critical need for advanced technology and strategic planning in safeguarding security interests. As the landscape of drone technology evolves, so too must the approaches to monitoring, detecting, and neutralizing these potential threats. The integration of counter-UAS technology, coupled with a comprehensive strategy, offers a robust defense mechanism against the misuse of drones. However, challenges in implementation highlight the importance of continuous research and development in this field.
Future advancements promise to enhance the efficacy of counter-drone measures significantly. It is imperative for stakeholders to stay abreast of emerging technologies and trends in drone and countermeasure evolution. They must also collaborate to develop solutions that are not only effective but also adaptable to the changing dynamics of aerial threats. The collective effort in advancing counter-UAS strategies will be pivotal in ensuring a secure environment against hostile UAVs. Readers are encouraged to engage further with this topic, fostering a deeper understanding and contributing to the discourse on aerial security measures. | aerospace | 1 |

This in turn allowed the first RAF crews to operate the Chinook Mk4 in support of UK security operations during the London Olympics from June to September 2012 prior to preparing for their deployment to Afghanistan.
Under Project Julius, the entire RAF Chinook fleet of 46 aircraft is being upgraded with the Thales digital ‘glass’ cockpit procured through prime contractor Boeing, together with upgraded Honeywell T-55-714 engines.
‘Getting the first Chinook Mk4s into Afghanistan by December 2012 has been the result of a Herculean effort by everyone involved in the Julius programme,’ Group Captain Dom Toriati, RAF Chinook Force Commander and Station Commander RAF Odiham, told Shephard. ‘All the agencies involved in this programme have worked hard to help de-risk and produce a credible support and airworthiness solution which everyone could sign-up to and helped deliver the Chinook Mk4 into theatre.’
Having successfully supported Operation Olympic, Chinook Mk4 crews and engineers could then begin preparations for Afghanistan. This began with UK-based mission specific training, followed by deployment to the US Naval Air Facility El Centro in California, US in October/November to undertake environmental and mission specific training prior to deploying to Afghanistan in late November.
Toriati noted that Project Julius was much more than a glass cockpit but a ‘whole solution’ helping to reduce crew workload and improve flight safety. ‘Project Julius has given us an integrated solution which satisfied the ergonomics and human machine interface (HMI) that the previous analogue cockpit didn’t and also provided a capability we can maintain safely which was one of the key requirements.’
Meanwhile, there are a further 14 new build aircraft known as Mk6 Chinooks currently in production at Boeing and these will also be equipped with the Julius cockpit to bring commonality to the fleet of 60 Chinooks. The first Mk6 Chinook is due to arrive in the UK in late 2013. | aerospace | 1 |

For this particular flight, SpaceX will check the emergency escape system onto its new passenger spacecraft — and will likely ruin a Falcon 9 rocket at the procedure.
The automobile that SpaceX is currently analyzing is its own brand new Crew Dragon capsule, a passenger spacecraft that the company has been growing for NASA within their bureau’s Commercial Crew program. Before NASA will allow its astronauts fly SpaceX Crew Dragon, the bureau wishes to be aware that the automobile are able to keep people secure from the unlikely event of a crisis. That’s exactly what this weekend’s evaluation, called an in-flight abort evaluation, is all about. SpaceX intends to mimic a failed rocket launching and reveal its Crew Dragon can endure and guard its valuable inhabitants inside. “We want to practice, practice, practice,” Benji Reed, manager of team assignment direction at SpaceX,” stated during a media conference on Frida. “We test like we fly, and we want to practice like we fly.”
Embedded at the hull of this Crew Dragon are eight SuperDraco engines, designed to fire if the Falcon 9 rocket carrying the pill begins to endure some significant collapse. The SuperDracos can propel the spacecraft upward and away in your decaying rocket. Once that the Crew Dragon is in a safe space, the capsule could deploy its parachutes and reduced itself softly into the Atlantic Ocean. A restoration vessel would then match with the capsule and then rescue the team inside.
SpaceX has analyzed this out escape method before, but just if the Crew Dragon was on the floor. The company and NASA wish to observe this process in action while the capsule is drifting into the skies on top of a rocket. That’s if the machine is going to be required if a worst-case scenario takes place later on. So this weekend, SpaceX will establish one of its useful Falcon 9 rockets — that is to space and back 3 times before — using a Crew Dragon at the top. At 84 minutes after launch, once the capsule and rocket are feeling that the most anxiety during flight, the SuperDracos will fire and the rocket’s main engines will reduce away. The Crew Dragon will subsequently go through the full escape pattern.
SpaceX certainly expects to shed its Falcon 9 rocket in this evaluation. The automobile should split apart on the way down to Earth because of this rate it is going along with the weather conditions. As for how it’ll be ruined, that is unclear. But the rocket will be fully fueled, so some of the propellant may light up. “We expect there to be some sort of ignition and probably a fireball of some kind,” stated Reed.
No individuals are going to be on board this flight, even however SpaceX may have two intelligent dummies within the Crew Dragon to gather information about the way in which the move would influence prospective crew members. Both that the dummies and automobile will be retrieved by ship following the evaluation.
SpaceX Falcon 9 is scheduled to remove from Kennedy Space Center at Cape Canaveral Florida on Sunday, through a six-hour launch window between 8AM and 2PM ET. SpaceX will probably wait to start till they see excellent weather in either the launching website and the location at the Atlantic Ocean that the Crew Dragon is anticipated to collapse. Having those weather states lineup might take a while. “Y’all may be waiting for a while, while we’re trying to find the perfect time for us to be able to conduct this test,” Kathy Lueders, the software director for NASA’s Commercial Crew Program, stated during the media conference. SpaceX was initially supposed to start Saturday but had to stand down because of bad weather in both places.
If this test goes well, then the upcoming huge flight of this Crew Dragon will get folks on board. The date for this highly anticipated excursion is still very much an open question. The Crew Dragon which is utilized for that evaluation is slated to arrive at Florida at the end of the month, based on SpaceX. And following the in-flight abort, SpaceX and NASA will have to review all of the information and also do additional paperwork, and SpaceX has to perform some further tests of its parachutes, which it upgraded annually. “We are really human certifying these Dragon spacecraft and Falcon 9,” stated Lueders, adding that “making sure we’ve dotted all the “I”s and spanned the “T”s prior to our crewed demonstration assignment is essential.”
SpaceX’s policy begins 20 minutes before takeoff, while NASA’s policy is set to start 15 moments ahead. Since liftoff time can change a great deal, make certain to test both SpaceX and also NASA’s Twitter feed for upgrades. | aerospace | 1 |

Northrop Grumman has been awarded a $3.6 billion indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (ID/IQ) contract for the ongoing support of the US Air Force’s Battlefield Airborne Communications Node (BACN).
The prime will be tasked with delivering research, development, test, and evaluation, integration and operations and sustainment for existing and future payloads contained in or connected to the BACN system.
The contract also includes associated ground stations or controls, ancillary equipment, support equipment and system integration laboratories.
Northrop is set to execute its tasks from San Diego, California, and in overseas locations through to January 2026.
“We are honoured to work with the Air Force to continue to bring the critical gateway communications capabilities of the BACN program to US warfighters operating around the world,” Ben Davies, vice president and general manager of networked information solutions division at Northrop Grumman, said.
“This ID/IQ award demonstrates the commitment to the continued success of the BACN program.”
Northrop Grumman’s BACN system is a high-altitude, airborne communications gateway, designed to translate and distribute imagery, voice and tactical data from disparate elements.
According to Northrop, the BACN enhances situational awareness communications and co-ordination for joint warfighters operating across space, air, land and sea.

A helium balloon has a mass of 0.022 kg, which includes both the helium and the balloon itself. On this balloon, there is 0.290 N of buoyant force pushing the balloon upward. If I let go of the balloon, find the balloon's acceleration rate in the upward direction.
If we neglect air resistance, how long will it take for the balloon to reach a speed of 10 m/s?
Neglecting air resistance is a good approximation for heavy objects and slow-moving objects. Therefore, we should NOT neglect air resistance for a helium balloon once it starts moving. Let's say the balloon reaches its "terminal velocity" in the upward direction after about 2 seconds. What is the drag force acting on the balloon at this point? | aerospace | 1 |

In the typical case, the first-stage and booster engines fire to propel the entire rocket upwards.
When the boosters run out of fuel, they are detached from the rest of the rocket (usually with some kind of small explosive charge or explosive bolts) and fall away.
The first stage then burns to completion and falls off..
What are the 3 stages of a rocket?
The first stage is ignited at launch and burns through the powered ascent until its propellants are exhausted. The first stage engine is then extinguished, the second stage separates from the first stage, and the second stage engine is ignited. The payload is carried atop the second stage into orbit.
What was the largest rocket ever made?
Saturn VNASA’s Mighty Saturn V It stood 363 feet (110 meters) high and remains the most powerful rocket ever built, even though the last one flew in 1973. The rocket could launch payloads of up to 45 tons to the moon, or 120 tons into Earth orbit.
What falls off a rocket during launch?
The humidity at the launch site condenses on the cold outer surface of the rocket and freezes creating a shell of ice. At launch, the vibration and acceleration cause the ice to shed and fall (hopefully away) from the launch vehicle.
Where do the parts of rocket fall?
Historically, most of a rocket’s discarded parts were left to fall back down to Earth and burn up in the atmosphere.
What happens to rocket boosters after they fall off?
The solid rocket boosters detach at about 45 km and keep rising to about 67 km before falling back to earth. They deploy parachutes once back in the atmosphere and drop into the ocean roughly 200 km from the launch site, where they’re recovered by two NASA recovery ships. | aerospace | 1 |

The artwork on the front cover is a painting by cosmonaut Alexei Leonov of himself performing the first ever spacewalk. During the Voskhod 2 mission Leonov spent 12 minutes outside the capsule tethered to the airlock with a 5-metre-long ‘umbilical cord’ to prevent him floating off into space. At 500 kilometres above the Earth, Leonov became the first person to have a completely unobstructed view of our planet stretching out below him.
Leonov was an amateur artist and brought a sketchbook with him into space to record his experiences. He later made these into paintings. Some of his paintings were published for the first time outside Russia in this magazine, which charts the progress of America and Russia in their attempts to put a man on the Moon.
The magazine includes an article about the Space Race comparing whether America or Russia had scored the biggest firsts. It explains how the Apollo missions will land on the Moon and contains profiles of some Apollo astronauts. | aerospace | 1 |

Next time you have trouble connecting to wifi here on Earth, you might be shocked to know that you'd have no problem getting online on the moon. Not only is the moon a wifi hotspot, the speed of the internet on the moon is ultra fast. NASA and MIT researchers recently debuted a new rig that uses pulses of laser light to transport data from Earth to the moon 238,900 miles away. It's possible to get 19.44 megabits per second upload speed on the moon, which is near the fastest speeds you can get on Earth. | aerospace | 1 |

Named Great Barrier Reef and registered VH-ZNH, the 787-9 touched down at Melbourne a little before 2300 on November 22, following its 16-hour journey as QF6026 from Boeing’s Everett facility in Washington State.
The addition of VH-ZNH to the fleet completes the initial order for eight 787-9s that Qantas placed in August 2015.
However, Qantas has a follow-on order for six of the next generation widebodies that it made in May 2018, with those aircraft due to begin arriving between late 2019 and late 2020.
This batch of six will lead to the withdrawal of the 747 fleet by the end of 2020 and as the airline celebrates its 100-year anniversary.
A look at Qantas’s eighth Boeing 787-9 from the airline’s Instagram account
Of the eight 787-9s in the fleet, four are based in Brisbane and four in Melbourne.
Currently, the type is used to operate Los Angeles-Melbourne, San Francisco-Melbourne, Melbourne-Perth-London Heathrow flights, as well as Brisbane-Los Angeles-New York JFK services.
From mid-December, Qantas will also deploy the next generation Boeing widebody to Asia, with the 787-9 to operate a number of flights to Hong Kong from Brisbane (from December 19), Melbourne (from December 13) and Sydney (from March 30 2019).
Qantas’s 787-9s feature 236 seats comprising 42 in business class in a 1-2-1 configuration offering direct aisle access for every passenger, 28 in premium economy laid out 2-3-2 across and 166 in economy in a 3-3-3 layout with 32in seat pitch and 17.2in seat width.
The airline retains a host of options and purchase rights for the Boeing 787. It has chosen General Electric GEnX engines to power its Dreamliner fleet.
VIDEO: How Qantas’s fourth 787-9, named Emily Kame Kngwarreye, was painted, as shown on the Qantas YouTube channel.
Qantas’s Boeing 747-400/400ER fleet currently stands at nine aircraft.
The most recent aircraft was retired in September, when 747-400 VH-OJT Fraser Island – MSN25565 and LN1233 – operated its last service in Qantas colours and was ferried to the Mojave desert after a flying career that racked up 9,300 cycles and about 90,000 flight hours in its near two-decades with the airline.

Airlines has now announced that they will be the first airline to follow suit with a planned test in the first half of 2009. Continental will be using one of their 737s for the test. The airline will be collaborating with engine supplier General Electric, aircraft builder Boeing and an as yet unidentified fuel supplier. They will work to identify a renewable fuel produced from non-food biomass that doesn't contribute to deforestation or consume excess water resources while reducing greenhouse gas
over the full lifecycle of the fuel. The fuel will be a second-generation

The East of England will receive a further boost as the hub for the UK’s future combat aircraft fleet, with hundreds of millions of pounds invested to help prepare for the arrival of the UK’s first F-35B Lightning II front-line fighter jet squadron.
More than £300 million will be invested at RAF Marham, funding extensive work on infrastructure and facilities which will begin by the end of the year. This will create up to 1000 new additional jobs directly in the construction phase and a further 700 in the supply chain.
The East of England will also become the heart of US European Joint Strike Fighter operations. Alongside the UK F-35s based at RAF Marham, RAF Lakenheath on the Norfolk-Suffolk will become home to the first two US F-35 squadrons in Europe, with the first aircraft due to arrive in 2020.
The move means that for the first time in decades the US Air Force and the RAF will operate the same type of aircraft from the UK. This highlights the strength of our shared commitment to transatlantic security and paves the way for the next generation of continued close collaboration between our respective forces.
Prime Minister David Cameron said:
The East of England has a proud military tradition and today’s announcement is fantastic news for the 4,500 people employed at RAF Marham and the region as a whole.
This is a clear example of how the decisions we have made as part of our long-term economic plan are enabling us to invest, creating the jobs, growth and investment that will benefit hard-working people here in Marham and across the UK.
The F-35 will not only operate from RAF Marham, but will also be deployed onboard the Royal Navy’s new Queen Elizabeth Class Carriers from 2018. This will give the RAF and Royal Navy a chance to continue opportunities for training and wider support partnerships, including flight training simulation.
Defence Secretary Michael Fallon said:
RAF Marham has long played an important role in UK Defence. A Tornado jet squadron from the base is currently flying out of RAF Akrotiri, making – alongside the US – one of the biggest contributions to the coalition airstrikes against ISIL in Iraq.
Looking towards the future, the UK’s investment in F-35 will deliver a fifth generation aircraft that will provide a step change in the UK’s combat air capability when it takes over from Tornado towards the end of the decade.
Over 18,000 MOD personnel are already employed in the East of England region, and work is ongoing to establish the personnel requirements to sustain the new RAF Marham configuration. More widely, the MoD invested around £200 million in the region in 2013/2014, working on Defence projects with companies including BAE Systems, Lockheed Martin, Rolls Royce and Thales. | aerospace | 1 |

Hawaii News Now reports three flight schools on Oahu have closed over the last 18 months, citing high operating costs and diminishing student enrolment numbers.
Pat McNamee, president of the General Aviation Council of Hawaii, says the number of pilots needed cannot be generated.
McNamee says the state needs about 100 new pilots each year to replace the pilots who have reached the mandatory retirement age of 65.
Officials say charter flight companies are already seeing the effects of the pilot shortage, and it could eventually reach the big airlines.

ST PETERSBURG, August 27. /TASS/. Government certification tests of Russia’s T-50 fifth generation fighter jet will be completed next year, the commander of the Aerospace Defense Force, Colonel-General Viktor Bondarev, told the media on Thursday.
The T-50 fighter made its maiden flight at the beginning of 2010. Earlier, Bondarev said that in 2016 the military would purchase the first batch-produced samples of this plane.
On Wednesday, Bondarev said that the testing of T-50 fighter was in full swing and several missile launches had been carried out.
The new generation fighter has demonstrated "excellent results," Bondarev said.
The Sukhoi PAK FA (Prospective Airborne Complex of Frontline Aviation) is a fifth-generation fighter program of the Russian Air Force. The T-50 is the name of the prototype aircraft designed by Sukhoi for the PAK FA program. The aircraft is a stealthy, single-seat, twin-engine jet fighter, and will be the first operational aircraft in Russian service to use stealth technology. It is a multipurpose fighter designed for the air superiority and attack roles. The fighter is planned to have super-cruise, stealth, super-manoeuvrability and advanced avionics to overcome the prior generation of fighter aircraft as well as ground and maritime defences.
The PAK FA is intended to be the successor to the MiG-29 and Su-27 in the Russian Air Force and serve as the basis for the Fifth Generation Fighter Aircraft being co-developed by Sukhoi and Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) for the Indian Air Force. PAK FA fighter first flew in 2010. | aerospace | 1 |

Edwin Eugene Aldrin Jr. was born Jan. 20, 1930, in Montclair, N.J., and had his head lost in the clouds from a very young age. A colonel in the Air Force who received the Distinguished Flying Cross award for his combat prowess in the Korean War, Aldrin went on to attain his Ph.D. in aeronautics and astronautics from MIT in 1963. He joined NASA after graduation and entered the space program as a valued asset. In 1966 as part of the Gemini 12 crew with astronaut Jim Lovell, Aldrin set a new world record for spacewalks with a 5-1/2-hour excursion outside their capsule. While a member of the historic Apollo 11 crew along with Cmdr. Neil Armstrong and command module pilot Michael Collins, Aldrin acted as the lunar module pilot and became the second human to set foot on the moon, following Armstrong down the lunar module's ladder on July 20, 1969. Since one of Armstrong's duties was to document their activities of the lunar surface, most of the iconic images of the astronauts' moon activities were of Buzz.
Still as relevant today as in those glory days when the world trembled at the thunder of our rockets, Aldrin remains an engaging, inspirational force in our country's unwavering focus on science education in schools and campaigning for the privatization of commercial space travel for continued exploration of our solar system and beyond. His personal website is a treasure of Apollo program memorabilia, books and scheduled speaking engagements, along with a merchandise shop where you can buy your own "Get Your Ass to Mars" T-shirt and autographed moon landing photos.
To help celebrate the day, here's a collection of vintage snapshots pulled from NASA and Apollo 11 archives showing Buzz with his fellow astronaut crewmembers Armstrong and Collins testing, training and tromping around on the "magnificent desolation" of the moon.
From all mankind, happy birthday, Buzz!! | aerospace | 1 |

The contract is an Other Transaction Agreement (OTA) through the Naval Aviation Systems Consortium (NASC). This is the first purchase of Smart D2 technology by the Department of Defense (DoD).
“Aircraft survivability technology is in a race against emerging threats,” said Don Davidson, director of the Advanced Compact Electronic Warfare Solutions product line at BAE Systems. “Smart D2 elevates legacy systems to the technology capabilities of next-generation smart countermeasures.”
The Smart D2 technology can be integrated into an aircraft’s existing ALE-47 Airborne Countermeasures Dispenser System—the trusted system of choice for aircraft survivability among U.S. armed forces and international allies. More than 4,000 ALE-47 systems have been installed in over 30 countries.
Instead of replacing an aircraft’s entire ALE-47 system, Smart D2 technology allows for the replacement of key elements – the programmer, sequencer, dispenser, and expendables. The programmer contains a regularly-updated database of known threats and identifies the appropriate payload, quantity, and dispensing intervals of each countermeasure. It also provides two-way communication of mission-critical information to enable pilots to make more informed decisions on the spot.
Smart D2 technology supports the U.S. Navy conversion to countermeasure expendables with the same square form factor as the U.S. Air Force and the U.S. Army. The Smart D2 sequencer and square style dispenser are a form and fit replacement to the current ALE-47 sequencer and dispenser for the U.S. Navy’s effort under the NASC OTA. Smart D2 will be deployed on USN rotary and fixed-wing aircraft and is also designed to operate on future platforms.
Work on Smart D2 under the ALE-47 Common Carriage program is underway at BAE Systems’ state-of-the-art facility in Austin, Texas. | aerospace | 1 |

With NASA's 50th anniversary approaching on Oct. 1, its astronauts today are looking ahead at the looming 2010 retirement of the agency's aging space shuttle fleet and at least a four-year gap before the replacement spaceship — the Orion Crew Exploration Vehicle — takes flight with spaceflyers aboard. There is even worry that NASA astronauts won't have rides to the International Space Station during the hiatus unless the agency gets a vital waiver to buy seats aboard Russian Soyuz spacecraft after 2011.
It's enough to give some veteran astronauts food for thought on what the future holds for them beyond the shuttle, while others remain committed to the long-duration missions that will be the only available rides until NASA renews manned lunar treks by 2020.
"One of the things that you're seeing now is exactly what happened with Apollo," said Roger Launius, a former NASA historian and senior curator with the Division of Space History at the Smithsonian Institution's National Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C. "As people began to see that program wind down literally…astronauts were beginning to leave the corps."
NASA's Astronaut Office is doggedly working to preserve its base of experienced spaceflyers and planning to swell its ranks with a new group of up to 15 astronauts in summer 2009.
"We'll certainly have people retire as they get older, and they decide to go off and do another career. We'll see a lot of that happening," said four-time shuttle flyer Steve Lindsey, chief of NASA’s Astronaut Office. "What I don’t want to see is us hit 2010 and all of our experience walk out the door."
There are about 90 astronauts on NASA's flight roster today, with less than six still waiting for that first assignment to a space-bound crew, Lindsey told SPACE.com. Somewhere between 10 and 15 new astronauts may join up in the new class, though the actual number remains to be seen, he added.

"One of my objectives is to get everyone in the office flown by 2010," Lindsey said. "And my current projection is we're going to be easily able to do that."
The goal, he said, is to ensure NASA's astronaut corps is as experienced as possible before the shuttle fleet retires and ready to withstand the departure of retiring spaceflyers, yet still retain enough veterans to lead the incoming 2009 class of astronaut candidates.
"They said the astronaut office may decrease in size from 90 to about 60," said astronaut biographer Michael Cassutt, author of "Who's Who in Space." The drop, Cassutt added, would follow a similar pattern to that seen during the Apollo-shuttle transition.
While some short missions are expected during Orion test flights, the majority of post-shuttle spaceflights will be long-duration expeditions to the International Space Station and, ultimately, the moon. But the years of training for those flights, which include long trips to Russia and other countries, can be challenging for families at home.
"I think a lot of people in our office are looking into their hearts to see if they want to stay on, and if they stay on do they want to fly long duration missions," said astronaut Mike Fincke, who is training for his second six-month station flight as Expedition 18 commander this fall. "I know for me, that this is definitely where I want to be and hopefully I'll be able to get back in at the end of that long line and back up."
To make long-duration spaceflights more palatable, NASA is working with its international partners to streamline space station training wherever possible, Lindsey said. That includes assigning astronauts to prime crew slots before they've ever served on a backup team, then folding their backup training in as part of their primary mission preparations, he added.
"We've been able to reduce the training template, the amount of time from assignment to launch," Lindsey said, adding that the training flow should now typically run about 2 1/2 years.
But some veteran astronauts have already taken their leave, such as last month's retirement of teacher-astronaut Barbara Morgan and the May departure of spacewalker James Reilly, II, who left the corps after three spaceflights, five spacewalks and 13 years at NASA
"I had three excellent flights and three great teams," said Reilly, adding that NASA astronauts had a challenge ahead in crossing the gap between shuttle and Orion. "I look backward on that, and we had a lot more folks that needed to fly and I had done everything that I had pretty much thought I could do as an astronaut."
Echoes of the past
NASA's astronaut corps has faced gaps in U.S. spaceflights before, most notably between the Apollo era of the late 1960s and 1970s and the 1981 debut of the space shuttle Columbia.
"When you think of a whole cadre of people whose basic objective is to fly in space and do particularly useful work in space, as many of us did, that's a long time to wait around and spin your wheels," said former NASA astronaut Owen Garriott, who retired from spaceflight in 1986.
Garriott joined the agency as one of the first six scientist-spaceflyers in 1965, flew to the U.S. space station Skylab aboard an Apollo capsule in 1973, then worked and waited for 10 years before flying aboard the shuttle Columbia in 1983. During the gap between Apollo and shuttle, he took time off to teach and got involved in early development work for what would evolve into the International Space Station among other assignments.
"So I think that that might very well be what some of the current number of astronauts [will do]," Garriott said. "There's plenty of work to do. I'm sure NASA will assure them of that."
The real challenge for NASA, stressed Launius, will be to maintain the right balance of astronaut skills to meet demands for the fading shuttle program and rising Orion project, as well as the proper mix of veterans and new flyers.
The road ahead
NASA's astronaut corps has changed since the first seven U.S. spaceflyers were announced in April 1959. Its members have shifted from steely-eyed rocket test pilots to a diverse group of men, women, military pilots, engineers and scientists, and the trend will likely continue.
"It is going to change the culture in several ways. There will be much less emphasis in high performance piloting," said Cassutt, adding that the switch stems from NASA's move from a winged reusable spaceship to capsule craft.
Gone too is some of the perceived competition among today's astronauts, who during the shuttle era could expect ongoing launches as opposed to the limited number of Mercury, Gemini and Apollo flights earlier in the program, Cassutt said. And access to space is getting easier by the year.
"The system exists where you can write a check and go to space, you just have to pass the physical," said Cassutt. "In essence, you're seeing something that is a little bit like the end of an era."
Garriott is among the first to concede Cassutt's point. His grown 46-year-old son Richard, a multi-millionaire computer game developer, is paying $30 million to ride a Russian Soyuz spacecraft to the International Space Station under a deal brokered by the Virginia-based firm Space Adventures. Richard Garriottwill be the sixth private citizen to pay his way to the space station since 2001.
But despite the changing nature of the astronaut corps, it will likely retain the camaraderie and teamwork that has governed its tight-knit crews and their exploits, astronauts said.
"I really miss the people," Reilly said. "I look back on those 13 years as being the best 13 years of my life."

After four years of developing its flagship Nebula-1 reusable liquid rocket, the company announced new milestones for a planned 2023 debut. This includes completing a ¥200 million ($31.5 million) Series A round in January 2022 led by Zhencheng Capital and conducting a 100-meter vertical recovery test (vertical takeoff, vertical landing, or VTVL). Like many of its counterparts, Deep Blue relies on 3D printing technology to curtail the part manufacturing process and reduce costs.
In the short term, the company intends to use the funds to continue developing its Nebula-1 liquid rocket, verify the rocket’s recyclable and reusable technology, and prepare for launch. However, eventually Deep Blue hopes to continue strengthening and upgrading its space technology, particularly its Thunder series engine, through 3D printing. Focusing on liquid recyclable technology and private supply chain support for critical components, Deep Blue has the opportunity to play a big role in China’s aerospace segment, which is worth over ¥1 trillion ($157 billion).
Headquartered in Nantong, a city on the coastal Chinese province of Jiangsu, Deep Blue plans to follow in the footsteps of SpaceX. By creating technology for orbit-level recoverable launch vehicles (similar to the Falcon 9), it foresees becoming a driving force for the country’s future space missions. In addition, the aim is to strengthen its technological leadership in the field of recyclable and reusable liquid rockets in China, actively explore the construction of a commercial rocket ecological chain, and strive to build aerospace and technology power.
Deep Blue Aerospace’s CEO Huo Liang pointed out that “recyclable launch vehicles are the pinnacle of contemporary human launch vehicle technology. Using reusable and multiplexing launch vehicles to build a next-generation aerospace round-trip transportation system is one of the keys for humanity to develop space resources and move to orbit.”
Reusable rockets drastically lower launch costs, speed up space travel, and open up access to orbit. Four years ago, SpaceX promised that a switch to reusable rockets would enable the company to cut its prices by as much as 30%. Then in 2020, Elon Musk tweeted that recovery and refurbishment of a booster is done for less than 10% of the price of a new booster while the payload reduction due to reusability of the booster and fairing is below 40%. SpaceX breaks even with two flights per booster and is “definitely ahead” with three, according to his tweet.
Payload reduction due to reusability of booster & fairing is <40% for F9 & recovery & refurb is <10%, so you’re roughly even with 2 flights, definitely ahead with 3
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) August 19, 2020
Even though recoverable launch vehicle technology is not achieved overnight, Deep Blue is working on it, and the recently completed Series A round will help. Moreover, as the only rocket company in China that targets recovery and reuse of liquid oxygen and kerosene vertical takeoff and landing, it could have a substantial commercial impact.
Deep Blue’s rocket engine manufacturing technology is also unique in China since 85% of its Thunder-5 engines are made with 3D printing technology. Acknowledged as the first variable thrust, kerosene-liquid oxygen, electric-pump-fed engine manufactured via 3D printing in China, the Thunder-5 design is a fantastic feat for the company. Just like other rocket manufacturers have discovered, Deep Blue quickly realized 3D printing could reduce part count and improve the engine’s working conditions. And since market suppliers of traditional engine manufacturing technology are limited, space companies can find more 3D printing service bureaus with a wide range of different additive manufacturing processes to choose from.
After completing the first vertical recovery flight test of the launch vehicle in July 2021, Deep Blue successfully achieved the 100-meter-level vertical recovery test again. Soon, it will test-run its fully 3D printed Thunder-20 grade liquid oxygen kerosene engine, which will power the Nebula-1 launch vehicle. If everything goes well, Deep Blue aspires to become a powerful ally to China’s national aerospace team, greatly reduce the rocket launch cost, and a champion for the space industry.
Commenting on Deep Blue’s present and future, Zhencheng Investment’s founding partner Li Jianwei said, “Deep Blue Aerospace is currently equivalent to SpaceX’s stage in 2013, a key turning point from non-consensus to consensus formation. Accurately benchmarking SpaceX, Deep Blue Aerospace has a clear and focused technical route, leading research and development progress, and an independent and controllable supply chain of core components. These are the main reasons for Zhencheng’s capital injection.”
With China’s space ecosystem thriving, it is no surprise that Deep Blue is making strides in the rocket manufacturing industry. Space companies have raised over ¥1 billion ($160 million) in funding in January alone. In addition, launch companies are driving investments through the roof. Aside from Deep Blue’s Series A round, competitors like Orienspace––a two-year-old private space launch enterprise––pulled in nearly ¥300 million ($47 million). Other examples include reusable methane-LOX rocket engine maker Jiuzhou Yunjian and high-tech enterprise iStar-Space Technology, each securing ¥100 million ($15.7 million) in new funding.
At this rate, China’s commercial companies working on space exploration technologies will continue to enjoy strong momentum, setting foot in areas that have been entirely state-dominated for decades. Aiming to become a promoter of the space transportation industry, Deep Space is optimistic about the future of its orbital launch vehicle. However, we’ll have to wait until 2023 to see if its rocket turns out to be “the next Falcon 9,” as the startup has described it.

Many early aviators lost their lives in accidents, and our industry suffered the terrible cost of learning through tragedy. In the decades since, airline pilots have joined together to expand our ability to fly more safely and efficiently. Aviation is now the world's safest form of transportation, thanks to data and experience sharing.
One of the challenges in promoting aviation safety is the rapid technological evolution in the industry, which requires continuous adaptation and innovation to ensure safety standards keep pace with advancements. Additionally, navigating through complex regulatory frameworks and addressing human factors like fatigue and mental health issues among aviation professionals present ongoing obstacles to maintaining a robust safety culture.
During my tenure as president of the International Federation of Air Line Pilots' Associations (IFALPA), the advancement of international aviation safety regulation development was a primary strategic goal. In my opinion, a strategic vision for aviation safety is a living thing that is always changing to accommodate a world that is constantly changing. While continuous adaptation is required, there are always-present constants. The requirement for a safety culture that all employees in an organization are aware of and strictly adhere to is one constant. Additionally, the importance of collaboration and communication among all stakeholders in the aviation industry remains a key factor in ensuring safety standards are met. By fostering a culture of transparency and accountability, we can work towards achieving the goal of zero accidents in air transportation.
IFALPA is a global organization that represents over 100,000 pilots in almost 100 countries. The Federation is a central hub for safety specialists, and it is in a unique position to organize a global chorus of safety specialists. (Trimarchi) The core elements of IFALPA's work include:
- Advocacy and Policy Development: IFALPA's advocacy work goes beyond merely advancing policies; it involves tying together various legal frameworks, cultural quirks, and technical developments to tightly weave a fabric of safety that can withstand the ever-evolving challenges of the aviation industry.
- Collaboration and Partnerships: By fostering collaboration with key stakeholders such as regulatory bodies, airlines, and other aviation organizations, IFALPA works to ensure that its strategic vision for aviation safety is not only comprehensive but also widely supported and implemented across the globe. This entails not only communication but also a profound, symbiotic relationship with stakeholders throughout the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), a United Nations agency that helps 193 countries cooperate and shape aviation regulation across the globe. I truly believe that a successful strategic vision must be a dynamic dialogue rather than a static decree. Collaboration, in my view, is not just about sharing information; it's about fostering a sense of shared destiny among the global aviation community. Our role extends beyond coordination; it's about building bridges over the chasms created by geopolitical divides and economic disparities. This global collaboration becomes a crucible for melding diverse perspectives into unified safety strategies.
- Data and Experience Sharing: IFALPA's work in data and experience sharing is a critical component of its strategic vision for aviation safety. The Federation's data and experience sharing programs are designed to provide a platform for pilots to share their experiences and insights, which are then used to develop safety recommendations and best practices. This is a crucial aspect of the Federation's work, as it allows pilots to learn from each other's experiences and to develop a shared understanding of the challenges and opportunities that exist in the aviation industry. By fostering a culture of transparency and accountability, we can work towards achieving the goal of zero accidents in air transportation.
- Professional Development: In the realm of professional development, our vision is not just about equipping pilots with skills but about nurturing a mindset where safety becomes an intrinsic value. It’s about cultivating an ethos where learning is perpetual, and adaptability is instinctive. Here, the challenge lies not just in adapting to change but in anticipating and shaping it.
- Technical and Safety Expertise: The rapid technological evolution in aviation, from AI-driven navigation systems to cyber-physical security frameworks, has made technical expertise a moving target. My strategic vision, therefore, is about creating a culture of continuous innovation where expertise is not just acquired but also contributed to the global knowledge pool. It’s about ensuring that future pilots are operators of technology and innovators in safety. Training and education play a vital role in enhancing aviation safety by equipping pilots and aviation professionals with the necessary skills and knowledge to navigate complex operational environments. Continuous training programs focused on risk management, decision-making, and crisis response are essential in preparing individuals to handle unexpected situations and uphold safety standards.
- Adapting to Emerging Challenges: The landscape of aviation safety is dotted with emerging challenges, each a complex puzzle. From integrating unmanned aircraft systems into crowded skies to decoding the impacts of climate change on flight patterns, a strategic vision must be about staying ahead of the curve. It's about not just responding to challenges but redefining them, turning obstacles into opportunities for safety innovation.
- Emphasizing Pilot Health and Well-Being: Finally, a successful vision places the pilot—the human element—at its core. It’s about understanding that behind every control panel is a human heart—a mind that can be fortified or fatigued. Our approach to pilot health and well-being should be holistic, recognizing that mental and physical health are intertwined with the safety of every flight. It’s about creating a culture where pilots are not just operators but also guardians of safety.
The aviation industry is at a critical juncture, and the strategic vision for aviation safety must be one that is not only comprehensive but also adaptable to the ever-evolving challenges of the industry. By fostering a culture of transparency and accountability, we can work towards achieving the goal of zero accidents in air transportation.
Recent aviation accidents, particularly the most recent incident involving a Boeing 737 MAX, remind us that safety should always be our top priority, and promoting an effective safety culture is a must. Boeing's organizational culture and leadership had a detrimental influence that extended beyond the company's financial and legal implications. (Chandrakant et al.) It also had profound implications for the lives of countless people affected by the safety issues and accidents associated with Boeing's aircraft. Continuously promoting and staying true to a commitment to a comprehensive and easily understood safety culture that champions safe reporting by participants, as well as continuous monitoring and improvement of safety standards. Indeed, "regulators around the world are placing a greater emphasis on mental health, culture, and transparency; humanistic approaches have tangible links to safety and business outcomes, not just employee satisfaction. Humanistic approaches, such as psychological safety and resilience, can have a positive impact on an organization's ability to attract and retain top talent." (“Are We on the Brink of a Paradigm Shift in Aviation Safety?”) This requires a shift in leadership mindset and practices to prioritize safety above all else, ensuring that the well-being of passengers and employees is always the top priority. By fostering a culture where safety is ingrained in every aspect of the organization, Boeing can rebuild trust and credibility within the industry and among the public.
Another essential part of promoting humanistic methods in aviation is resilience building. Resilience refers to the ability to adapt to and recover from shocks or unexpected situations. As previously stated, it is critical for individuals to be able to adjust to unexpected scenarios and surprises and handle unfamiliar situations safely. This can be accomplished through training that goes beyond procedural compliance and focuses on building adaptability, problem-solving abilities, continuous self-improvement, and operational strategies. When combined with psychological safety and a shift away from just procedural conformity, resilient organizations can foster an environment in which people feel empowered to adapt to and recover from unexpected events. (“Are We on the Brink of a Paradigm Shift in Aviation Safety?”)
As aviation professionals, we must all continue to prioritize safety in aviation to prevent future tragedies. Ensuring the highest standards of safety is crucial to protecting both passengers and crew. IFALPA has a long history of successfully advocating for improved aviation safety standards and will continue to do so in the future.
IFALPA's dedication to advocating for aviation safety standards is evident in their collaboration with organizations like the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) to enhance pilot safety training. (CAAS and IFALPA Sign MOU on Pilot Safety Training and Competency Development.) By prioritizing a strong safety culture and ongoing improvement efforts, IFALPA plays a crucial role in ensuring the well-being of all individuals involved in aviation operations.
As a former president of IFALPA, I’ve seen the tapestry of aviation safety being woven with threads of technology, policy, human factors, and global collaboration. A strategic vision for aviation safety, as I envision it, is not a static blueprint but a living, breathing organism that grows, learns, and adapts. It’s a vision that embraces complexity, anticipates change, and thrives on the collective commitment of the global aviation community to uphold the highest standards of safety. It requires continuous vigilance, collaboration, and innovation to ensure that safety remains the top priority in all aspects of aviation operations.
Looking ahead, advancements in artificial intelligence, automation, and predictive analytics are anticipated to revolutionize aviation safety measures. Moreover, the integration of unmanned aircraft systems, advancements in cybersecurity, and the implementation of sustainable aviation practices are expected to drive significant changes in safety protocols and regulations.
Continuous evolution and dedication to excellence is how we can ensure the future of aviation safety remains strong and resilient. By staying vigilant, proactive, and united in our efforts, we can navigate the challenges ahead and continue to prioritize the well-being of all those who travel by air. | aerospace | 1 |

Butler Landing” after the late science fiction author.
“I can’t think of a better person to mark this historic landing site than Octavia E. Butler, who not only grew up alongside JPL [NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory] in Pasadena, but he also inspired millions with his visions for a science-based future, ”said Thomas Zurbuchen, NASA associate administrator for science, in a NASA rlift up.
In fact, NASA got it right with this one, as Butler is a worthy choice for such a prestigious honor.
Butler, who died in 2006 at the age of 58, was the first African American woman to win the Hugo Y Nebula awards and the first science fiction writer to be honored with a MacArthur Scholarship. The acclaimed author is known for works such as the Xenogenesis trilogy and the Parable Y Pattern maker series, in which he criticizes the hierarchical and prejudicial tendencies of humanity, especially those based on race, sex and class.
“Butler’s protagonists embody determination and inventiveness, making her the perfect fit for the Perseverance rover mission and its theme of overcoming challenges,” explained Kathryn Stack Morgan, Perseverance Project Associate Scientist, in the press release. from NASA. “Butler inspired and influenced the planetary scientific community and many beyond, including those typically underrepresented in STEM fields.”
G / O Media can get a commission
The Perseverance rover, now officially at Octavia E. Butler Landing inside Jezero Crater.successfully finished your first test drive orn March 4.
During the 33 minute arousalyouZionNASA’s Mars 2020 mission specialists had the rover move forward 13 feet (4 meters), turn 150 degrees to the left while standing in place, and then back 8 feet (2.5 meters) toward a new Martian parking spot. In all, Percy traveled 21.3 feet (6.5 meters), a small step for a rover, but a big jump for the home team.
Percy’s six-wheel drive “responded superbly” and the team is “confident” that the propulsion system is “ready to go,” said Anais Zarifian, engineer for the 2020 Perseverance Mars rover mobility testbed at JPL. Eventually, the rover will travel distances closer to 650 feet (200 meters) as part of the mission’s science work.
TThe rover software was recently updated, and now several instruments have been deployed, including a pair of wind sensors and a ground-penetrating radar. The machine is 7 feet long (2meter) the robotic arm was also put into action, as the team flexed all five joints during one two-hour test. This was important, as the arm will eventually allow close-up observations of geological features and drilling of samples.
Looking ahead, the rover will undergo longer test drives and its many instruments will continue to function. tested and calibrated. As part of this commissioning phase, NASA will deploy the Ingenuity helicopter, which is currently attached to the belly of the rover. The team will soon select an airfield from which to fly the little air vehicle, in what will be a historic test.
NASA’s Perseverance rover touched down in Jezero crater on February 18. A main objective of the two-year mission is to search this crater, an ancient lake and river delta, signs of previous life. | aerospace | 1 |

According to the videos, once the rocket motor is complete, Scaled Composites will test the powered flight capabilities of the vehicle and plans to start taking paying customers into space by 2013. This is big news, as previous reports from Virgin had pointed to commercial flights as soon as late 2011. I guess the scheduled slipped.

As Gizmag reports, “the regulatory wheels are beginning to turn” for this to happen, and the FAA is clearing the way for Amazon to test drones for delivery. Jeff Bezos, CEO of Amazon, had been talking about drones potentially making deliveries back in late 2013, but this can’t happen right away until there’s enough testing done to make sure the company gets their “experimental airworthiness certificate.”
This article tell us the drones have to fly at 400 feet or lower during the day, and they must be in the line-of-site of the pilot, who has to have a pilot certificate, as well as a medical certificate as well. (Hey, you think they’re gonna just let any average schmo have a drone flying deliveries around? Well, maybe if we get to the point where they’re delivering pizzas…)
So this is a fascinating development that we don’t think will happen tomorrow, but we’re looking forward to one day watching the skies for our Amazon deliveries to arrive. | aerospace | 1 |

In this day and age, hundreds of aviation apps are available for smartphones and tablets, from in-flight tools to flight training, weather briefings, and even games. Whether you want to transition to a paperless cockpit or plan your flights with better accuracy, here are six aviation apps to add to your digital toolbox.
The HangarBot App
This is the #1 app you NEED to download right now! Creating a smart hangar is easier than ever. You can easily set up geo-fencing triggers within the app to have your hangar door open from 500 feet away or close from 800 feet. With a timed trigger, you can set your hangar lights to turn on or off at specified dates and times, adjust your thermostat, and even start your coffee maker!
Both SMS and Push Notifications from the app ensure that you're always connected to your hangar and provide you with the most up-to-date information like motion detection notices, live video streams from security cameras, and more.
Download for free here.
E6B Aviation Calculator
The E6B Aviation Calculator makes it easy for student pilots and seasoned pilots alike to solve the most common planning and navigating problems related to flying.
Imagine having one app that supports more than 75 aviation-related calculations. No more having to download multiple calculator apps. The E6B Aviation Calculator has everything you need for wind, altitude, time, speed, distance, and advanced fuel calculations.
Add in access to a robust group of weather reports including METARs, TAFs, AIRMET, SIGMET, PIREPs, cloud base and more, and the value is clear.
E6B Aviation Calculator is available for 8.99 in the App Store.
A complete electronic flight bag (EFB) app, FlyQ EFB features intuitive, integrated features displayed in an easy viewing format. In addition to all the standard functions you would expect from an EFB (like sectionals, IFR charts, flight tracking, radar, satellite and more), there are also some exciting extras. Try out the exclusive augmented reality feature for enhanced situational awareness. A new visual logbook plus the post-flight playback and analysis, graphs, and flight replay over the Floq Network make FlyQ EFB stand out from other EFB options.
FlyQ is available for download on iPad and iPhone.
Download FlyQ EFB from the App Store.
Radar imagery provides critical information during poor weather days. This free app is simple and easy to use.
Like all weather, radar imagery can be found in many different apps, but you often have to dig around to find the most applicable image. MyRadar provides a clear and current radar image of the area immediately around your current location. Of course, you can pan around on the touchscreen to take a closer look at other areas, but it makes sense for the image to default to your location.
CloudAhoy is a great app for flight instruction and post-flight debriefing. When the app is open, it will track all the details of your flight (location, altitude, and speed) before creating an easy-to-read flight log. Pilots can then review their flights in real-time using Google Earth or an aviation chart. Understanding what went wrong during your flight can help you improve your performance in future flights.
Takeoff is another iOS-only app that aims to ensure that pilots have access to the latest in aviation technologies and practices. The app delivers fresh content to iPhone and iPad users every day. Users can even customize the app to get content that they’re most interested in.
The app has a plethora of features, such as engaging video tips, educational articles, podcasts, aviation news, and a lot more. It is definitely a must-have for pilots of all skill levels because it offers content that is customizable to the level of the pilot.
Download Takeoff for iOS here (free, with in-app purchases).
These apps are not the only ones for pilots, and it was difficult for us to just pick six. Tons of other essential apps are available, all designed to help you improve your overall flying experience. | aerospace | 1 |
https://www.fallenheroesfund.org/ifhf-breaks-ground-on-new-intrepid-spirit-center-at-eglin-air-force-base-in-florida | 2022-12-04T19:36:10 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-49/segments/1669446710978.15/warc/CC-MAIN-20221204172438-20221204202438-00663.warc.gz | 0.941493 | 904 | CC-MAIN-2022-49 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2022-49__0__678933 | en | Eglin Air Force Base, FL (May 2, 2019) – The Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund (IFHF), representatives from Eglin Air Force Base, U.S. Air Force Chief of Staff, General David L. Goldfein, and the 96th Medical Group broke ground on a new Intrepid Spirit Center that will diagnose and treat Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and Post-Traumatic Stress (PTS) in regional active duty service members at Eglin Air Force Base, Florida. The facility will be the eighth in a series of ten centers located at military bases around the country built by the IFHF, a not-for-profit organization and national leader in supporting the men and women of the U. S. Armed Forces and their families. Intrepid Spirit Centers currently operate at Fort Belvoir, VA; Camp Lejeune, NC; Fort Campbell, KY; Fort Hood, TX; Fort Bragg, NC; Joint Base Lewis-McChord, WA; and Camp Pendleton, CA. This is the first Intrepid Spirit Center at an Air Force base.
Eglin Air Force Base’s Intrepid Spirit Center is projected to cost approximately $11 million to construct and equip with the latest in brain technology and treatment facilities. It will span 25,000 square feet and funding for the project is being raised privately through the IFHF.
“Breaking ground at Eglin Air Force Base for the eighth Intrepid Spirit Center is a major milestone for the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund as it is the first Intrepid Spirit Center at an Air Force Base,” said Arnold Fisher, Honorary Chairman of the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund. “It is imperative that we, as Americans, ensure that our brave men and women protecting our freedoms receive the best care available in their treatment of TBI and PTS. Being able to treat our heroes closer to their homes where they are surrounded by their family, has been shown to be much more effective. We look forward to completing our current mission of building a total of 10 Intrepid Spirit Centers around the country.”
Home to the 96th Test Wing, 33rd Fighter Wing, 53d Wing, Air Force Research Lab’s Munitions Directorate, Armament Directorate, 919th Special Operations Wing, Air Force Special Operations Command, the U.S. Army’s 7th Special Forces Group (Airborne), 6th Ranger Training Battalion, and the U.S. Navy’s Naval School Explosive Ordnance Disposal, Eglin Air Force Base’s 96th Test Wing supports more than 18,682 active duty personnel, 1,416 reserve personnel as well as more than92,000 military beneficiaries who reside near the base.
“The Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund (IFHF) generously offered to build and donate an Intrepid Spirit Center at Eglin AFB,” said Dr. Thomas Piazza, medical director of Eglin’s Invisible Wounds Center (IWC). “Once built, the Intrepid Spirit Center will have 30 percent more space than the IWC and will deliver an additional long list of cutting-edge equipment and medical capabilities. We are proud to join this family of TBI facilities and are grateful to the American citizens who have so generously supported the healthcare and healing of our active duty service members through the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund.”
All Intrepid Spirit Centers are being funded and built by the IFHF through a $100 million fundraising campaign. Though the centers are being built exclusively through private donations, each center is gifted to the U.S. Department of Defense for operation and management upon completion. All of the centers are located at military bases around the country.
The design and mission of the Intrepid Spirit Centers are based on the original National Intrepid Center of Excellence (NICoE) which opened in 2010 at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, MD. Operated by theDOD, NICoE is the most advanced facility of its kind in the country, and is the center of the Armed Forces’ efforts in researching, diagnosing and treating TBI, PTS and related injuries sustained by military personnel.

How big is Mercury to the Moon?
Mercury is about 2,900 miles across, bigger than our moon but smaller than Earth.
How does Mercury’s size compare to Earth’s moon?
Size of Planet Mercury Mercury has a mean radius of 2,439.7 km in comparison to Earth with a mean radius of 6,371.0 km meaning the size of the planet is equivalent to 38% the size of Earth. In fact, Mercury is closer to the size of Earth’s moon than it is to planet Earth as Earth’s moon as mean radius of 1,737.1 km.
What is Mercury’s diameter NASA?
With a radius of 1,516 miles (2,440 kilometers), Mercury is a little more than 1/3 the width of Earth. If Earth were the size of a nickel, Mercury would be about as big as a blueberry. From an average distance of 36 million miles (58 million kilometers), Mercury is 0.4 astronomical units away from the Sun.
What is the diameter of Mercury?
Where is Mercury today?
Mercury is currently in the constellation of Capricornus. The current Right Ascension is 20h 31m 15s and the Declination is -16° 01′ 05”.
Is the moon bigger then Mercury?
Mercury is the smallest of the eight planets in our solar system. It is only a little bigger than Earth’s moon. It would take more than 18 Mercurys to be as big as Earth. If you could weigh Mercury and the moon, Mercury would weigh much more.
Is Luna bigger than Mercury?
Earth’s Moon, Jupiter’s moons Callisto, Io, and Europa, and Neptune’s moon Triton are all larger than Pluto, but smaller than Mercury.
Is Pluto bigger than Mercury?
Smallest Planet: Mercury The first is an object’s mass (how much matter it contains) and the second is its volume (how much space it takes up). In case you’re wondering, though, Mercury is still significantly larger than the dwarf planet Pluto: Pluto’s equatorial diameter is just 2,302 km, about half Mercury’s width.
Does Mercury have any moons?
There are hundreds of moons in our solar system — even a few asteroids have been found to have small companion moons. Of the terrestrial (rocky) planets of the inner solar system, neither Mercury nor Venus have any moons at all, Earth has one and Mars has its two small moons.
What is the diameter of the moon?
What is the diameter of the Moon bigger than Mercury?
In fact, there are two moons in the Solar System which actually have a larger diameter than Mercury. The largest moon in the Solar System is Jupiter’s moon Ganymede, with a diameter of 5,268 km and the second largest moon is Saturn’s moon Titan, with a diameter of 5,152 km.
What is the size of the planet Mercury?
Size of Planet Mercury. Mercury is the smallest planet by both mass and volume. Mercury has a mean radius of 2,439.7 km in comparison to Earth with a mean radius of 6,371.0 km meaning the size of the planet is equivalent to 38% the size of Earth. In fact, Mercury is closer to the size of Earth’s moon than it is to planet Earth as Earth’s moon as…
What is the size of the Moon?
The Moon’s average orbital distance is 384,402 km (238,856 mi), or 1.28 light-seconds. This is about thirty times the diameter of Earth. The Moon’s apparent size in the sky is nearly exactly the same as that of the Sun, since the star is about 400 times the lunar diameter and distance.
What are the diameters of the planets?
What Are The Diameters of the Planets? – Universe Today What Are The Diameters of the Planets? The planets of our Solar System vary considerably in size and shape. Some planets are small enough that they are comparable in diameter to some of our larger moons – i.e. Mercury is smaller than Jupiter’s moon Ganymede and Saturn’s moon Titan. | aerospace | 1 |

When a Russian satellite orbiting the Earth starts to veer off course. It seems like the guidance system in the satellite is of American origin. It’s important to try and fix it before it comes into the atmosphere. N.A.S.A. man, Bob Gerson (James Cromwell) tries to find out who designed it, and discovers that it was designed by Frank Corvin (Clint Eastwood), an Air Force pilot who, forty years ago, was part of a team who was originally suppose to go to space, but when N.A.S.A. was formed and Gerson’s influence, they were dropped. Gerson asks Frank to help, but Frank still holds a grudge. But after some prodding, he agrees but only if he and his team can go there so he can fix it. Gerson reluctantly agrees, so Frank recruits his former team members, “Tank” Sullivan (James Garner), Jerry O’Neill (Donald Sutherland), and “Hawk” Hawkins (Tommy Lee Jones) to join him. After some strenuous tests, they’re cleared. And they go up with two other astronauts and check out the satellite and discover that they weren’t told the whole truth. —[email protected] will be boys.

The manufacturers of aviation parts must have the necessary approvals from the FAA and/or other aviation authorities in order to even begin putting together and sending parts to clients. This is to ensure that every aircraft that takes flight is 100% proofed, ready and able to perform as expected. This is why aircraft maintenance engineers are so vital. They are among the first to put their hands on a piece or part that will eventually help aircraft take flight.
Crosswinds are something that every pilot, crew member, and passenger has most likely experienced at least once. They are winds that come at aircraft on an angle during takeoff, flight, and approach. Crosswinds are the cause of turbulence, and they can affect flight operations, fuel burning, and the comfort of passengers. In this blog, we will discuss the various methods to plan for crosswinds and how they may affect flights.
Fear of flying is a common occurrence. Even people who don’t normally fear boarding an airplane may feel some twinge of anxiety just before takeoff. Known as aerophobia or aviophobia, the fear of flying is a normal fear despite the fact that flight accidents are few and very rare. Many times this fear is triggered by other fears such as claustrophobia (fear of small spaces or acrophobia (fear of heights). Whatever the trigger, fear of flying has been a constant in passenger trends, and if you are among the many who can’t help but get a little nervous while boarding, it may reassure you to know some facts about aviation safety.
Wings Can Vibrate
And it’s okay when they do. While it’s understandable for a passenger to be concerned about the plane wing vibrating outside of the window, it is no cause for worry. Vibration is completely normal for an aircraft which is why the wings were manufactured to be extremely durable. In fact, they can endure a bend up to as much as 45%.
Turbulence is Normal
When some people feel turbulence on a plane, they might think it means that there is something wrong with the plane. But turbulence occurs on approximately 90% of flights, with the plane only jumping a few centimeters. Though if you’d still be more comfortable feeling less turbulence, experts suggest sitting in the middle of the cabin next to the wings to feel less turbulence as the shaking will most often be felt towards the tail of the plane.
Airplanes Are The Safest Mode of Transport
There are approximately 12,000 aircraft vehicles flying every day, with airlines carrying 4.1 billion people a year. With this many people flying each year, one might think that there would be aircraft incidents every day, but the reality is that driving on the road is far more dangerous in comparison to flying on a plane. In road incidents, there are 1.25 million fatalities each year, while airlines report significantly less than that.

If you’ve ever flown on an airplane, then you know what happens before takeoff. You step onto the plane, find your seat, and put away whatever carry-on items you may have. Then once everyone takes a seat, you direct your attention to the front to listen to some very important announcements from the flight attendants. First time flyers tend to listen very intently to the pre - flight safety instructions, but for many frequent flyers, the process is merely a regularity.
Regardless of however many times you might have heard these pre-flight instructions, it always helps to listen because as times change, new procedures arise that may differ from what you may have heard previously. Not only that, but different airplanes may have different layouts which means the exits may not be exactly where you think they’re supposed to be.
When the flight attendants make their announcements, they go over more than just rules and flight etiquette. They instruct you on what to do if an emergency landing is necessary. When flying, no one wants to even consider the possibility that your flight is stalled, but the fact remains that it is always better to be prepared for an emergency that doesn’t occur than be unprepared for one if it does. This is why aviation safety is so important and why, no matter how many times you have flown before, you should always make a point to listen to cabin crew safety instructions.

Landings are as inevitable as they are crucial to perfect. This blog will break down ten actions you can take to have a smoother and more controlled landing when you fly.
Communication is vital for safety in aviation, as pilots and air traffic controllers communicate to one another to prevent accidents and collisions. Signaling lights are effective means for establishing communications, especially if an aircraft lacks a radio system, or the radio is malfunctioning.
Aviation signal lights fulfill a similar role as traffic and vehicle lights, in communicating visually what cannot be said aurally. Like automobiles, aviation lights are designed to maintain the safety of pilots, passengers, personnel on the ground, and even the cargo carried by the aircraft. Aviation signaling lights provide guides for pilots on what they need to do while landing an aircraft, where to place the aircraft on the runway, and where to take off from. For obvious visibility reasons, lights are used at night, and are used to guide ground service vehicles working at the airport as well as pilots.
Signal lights have different meanings depending on if the aircraft is airborne or currently on the ground.

Aircraft maintenance is undeniably expensive, with costs stacking ever higher between parts, labor, and lost opportunity. Many types of repairs can be prevented by following proper inspection and aircraft maintenance procedures however, and in this blog, we’ll break down five of the most common and preventable parts failures, as well as how to keep them from failing.
A turbine’s fan blades are an essential part of the engine, so keeping them in good condition via regular inspections is essential. Turbine Fan blades can be affected by conditions like an aircraft’s home base, the missions undertaken, if they are exposed to harsh weather conditions, sand, and humidity. Applying lubrication to the blades every twelve months, however, can help extend the lifespan of the blades and delay expensive replacement costs.
Air conditioning heat exchangers are tasked with regulating and maintaining comfortable cabin temperatures. Whether the aircraft is operating in Arizona or Montana however, these heat exchangers should be inspected and cleaned at least once a year to stop contamination from building up inside them.
Depending on the home base of the aircraft and what mission types it flies on, contamination in the fuel tanks from both water and microbial growth can be a serious issue. To prevent contamination, fuel tanks should be drained more frequently, along with regular sample checks. This is particularly necessary in hot and humid areas, where microbial growth can occur more easily.
Aircraft parking procedures are often overlooked, but absolutely critical. Obstructed or blocked pitot and static ports can be expensive to repair, and potentially dangerous if they cause the aircraft’s instruments to malfunction while in flight. Covering these ports while the aircraft is parked, regardless if it is parked outside or in a hangar, is essential. So is providing aircraft engine covers, especially for aircraft that operate in sandy areas like the Middle East. Sand can contaminate the inside of the engine, causing vibrations, high fuel consumption, higher engine gas temperatures, and clogging the cooling hoses.
An aircraft’s water system should be regularly drained, especially in cold, wintery environments where condensation can occur. If it isn’t, cracks and leaks can cause a cascading number of other issues, especially if water reaches any of the avionics.

Despite what you may think, the wings on an aircraft are used as storage. No, it is not your excess luggage, it is actually the fuel for the plane. Aircraft have between three to five fuel tanks which the engine pulls from. As you would expect, one of the fuel tanks is located in the center of the aircraft, but a fuel tank is also located in each wing.
An aircraft is able to fly when the force of lift is greater than the force of weight. The wing design helps to create lift. When fueling an aircraft, the weight of the fuel needs to be considered. If the fuel is stored in an area such as the nose or tail, the center of gravity of the aircraft will be thrown off center. As the plane uses up more fuel, a shift of momentum will occur therefore jeopardizing the equilibrium of the aircraft. To ensure that the aircraft is stabilized, the aircraft engine will draw fuel from the central fuel tank first before it is taken from the wings.
In a similar situation, fuel is stored in the wings to act as a counter stress during take-off. During this critical flight mode, the aircraft is under a lot of stress from the aircraft’s mass. This is the key moment in which lift must overpower all the combined weight of the aircraft. Fuel in the wings keeps the angle of the wings level during takeoff. Without the weight of the fuel within the wings, there is the possibility that the wings would snap under the pressure. With this in mind, refueling begins with wing fuel tanks before moving onto the central fuel tank.
If there is a common theme, it is that fuel means weight and weight means stability. Wing flutter refers to the occurrence of vibration on the wings caused by the moving airflow. In all fields of mechanics, vibration is never a welcome occurrence. Vibration can cause significant damage to a component, so it is important to mitigate any and all vibration on the aircraft wings. Storing fuel in the wings provides rigidity to the otherwise hollow wings. Pressure is alleviated on the interior infrastructure of the wings as the fuel stabilizes the wing.
One reason for storing the fuel in the wing that is not related to weight is safety. Due to the flammable nature of fuel it is best to store fuel as far away from the passengers as possible. While this can’t always be the case, storing at least some of the fuel in the wings helps to increase the overall safety of the aircraft. From a cost and design point of view, storing the fuel in the wings increases the overall efficiency of the aircraft. If the fuel was not stored in the wings, the overall size of the aircraft would need to be increased to accommodate fuel tanks.
The storage of fuel is carefully considered in terms of the weight it adds to the aircraft. Not only should the beginning weight be considered, but also the rate at which the fuel is consumed. The wings inadvertently became the perfect storage facility.

Fortunately, 2022 travel restrictions loosened enough for Vorticity’s engineers to present at the 26th ADST conference in Toulouse, the 2nd FAR conference in Heilbronn and the 18th International Planetary Probe Workshop (IPPW) in Santa Clara.
Earlier in 2022, Vorticity completed the ExoMars parachute system qualification tests. We were able to share the multi-year development process, describe the design and show videos of the parachute performance. Further information on ExoMars is available on the ESA website.
Vorticity also presented two ongoing ESA-funded technology developments. Vorticity is leading these R&D studies into flexible thermal protection systems (FTPS) and precision electronic-delay parachute reefing cutters. Both technologies could play an important role in future entry, descent and landing missions, on Earth, Mars and the outer planets.
Finally, we reported the results of a parachute inflation wind tunnel study conducted at the University of Cambridge. Vorticity initiated and supported this Master’s engineering project, in which over 100 subscale parachute inflations were conducted.

The Air Force’s next-generation close-air-support platform should be able to provide instant firepower on demand, the service’s top officer told reporters June 15.
Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Mark Welsh compared the desired capability to the convenience and flexibility of a soda machine. “Imagine the … flying Coke machine and just having a Coke machine overhead, and you put your quarter in and you get whatever kind of firepower you want when you want it,” he said at a Defense Writers Group breakfast in Washington, D.C. “In the perfect world, that’s close-air support of the future.”
For years, the Air Force has been trying to kill the A-10 Thunderbolt II, the service’s close-air-support workhorse. Officials have cited budget constraints and the need to save money to invest in other platforms as reasons to get rid of it. Congress has kept the plane alive, but service leaders are already thinking about what comes next.
“The right close-air support replacement is something that’s overhead the ground force all the time and is firepower on demand,” Welsh said. “It’s flying artillery” and “911 rockets.”
The Air Force’s top procurement programs have suffered from development problems and schedule delays in recent years. But Welsh doesn’t envision major difficulties in acquiring a new close-air-support system.
“We don’t think this would take that long to do and we don’t think it’s that complicated of a design problem,” he said. “The technology is available to us. We can develop it.”
To control requirements and keep costs down, the aircraft would need to be designed to operate in a low- to medium-threat environment similar to Iraq and Afghanistan, he said. In a challenging fiscal climate, the Air Force wants a platform that would save money on operations and maintenance, the service chief added.
“We need something to keep doing at much lower cost the types of things we’re doing in the counterinsurgency fight today,” Welsh said. The A-10 eats up about $20,000 per flying hour, he noted.
“Let’s find something that’s $4,000 or $5,000 a flying hour that brings more firepower, that is more responsive,” he said.
There could be a number of options for a next-generation system, and the Air Force needs to think them through, he said.
“Is it manned, is it unmanned? … Is it a number of smaller things that arrive and deliver weapons [or] is it one big thing that orbits?... Is it fires from the rear that just get grabbed and retargeted by something forward?” Welsh said.
“I don’t know what it is. But that’s the concept — firepower now,” he said.
Whether a future system would be designed and built from scratch or an existing platform modified to fit the service’s needs is another issue that has yet to be decided.
“You could take either approach,” Welsh said. “A lot of it would depend on how much resources you had [and] how much time you had.”
For now, budget and manpower shortfalls are keeping the A-10 replacement from becoming a reality.
“I would love to build a new [close-air-support] airplane right now while we still have the A-10, [and then] transition the A-10 community into the new CAS airplane,” Welsh said. “We just don’t have the money to do it and we don’t have the people to keep flying the A-10 and build a new airplane and bed it down.”
The Air Force is trying to procure additional F-35 joint strike fighters, a new KC-46 tanker and a new B-21 long-range strike bomber. Finding an A-10 replacement is “not the highest priority,” Welsh said.

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) June 27, 2013
The Used Aircraft and Equipment Dealers industry is closely trailing trends in the overall economy and air travel. In the five years to 2013, industry revenue is estimated to increase at an average annual rate of 1.1% to $10.9 billion. “The industry met declines during the recession, but bounced back as corporate profit, per capita disposable income and demand for air travel increased,” IBISWorld industry analyst Andrew Krabeepetcharat says. As consumers and businesses gained higher incomes, they were more able to afford flights and industry products. In 2013, the industry is expected to achieve additional growth of 1.4%.
After 2009, demand from tourism quickly picked up steam, and small airlines and travel companies purchased used aircraft and equipment to supplement their existing fleet. “In addition, thanks to increasing per capita disposable income, high-end travelers and hobbyists were better able to spend on aircraft and equipment for private use,” Krabeepetcharat says. Businesses also contributed to the industry's growth; after they battled through recessionary lows, their revenue and profit margins rose greatly, allowing them to provide chartered flights to their employees, which helped boost demand for used aircraft and equipment.
The Used Aircraft and Equipment Dealers industry is highly fragmented and is comprised of many small firms. Industry concentration has increased marginally in the five years to 2013 on the back of industry exits and some organic growth. With the diffused and saturated nature of this market, significant changes in industry concentration are unlikely to occur. Any major increases in industry concentration will only occur with the entry of a large used aircraft and equipment dealer or with significant expansion of an existing operator.
In the five years to 2018, the industry is expected to grow as the economy continues to improve. During this period, industry revenue is forecast to increase. Growing corporate profit, higher per capita income and increased demand from domestic airlines will spur this growth. The global economy is also expected to recover, prompting exports to increase slowly. Profit margins for the industry are also expected to grow slowly as well during this period, as used aircraft and equipment dealers start charging higher prices due to rising demand.
