UND Atmospheric Sciences students receive hands-on experience with weather balloons
Not all Atmospheric Sciences students attending the University of North Dakota will pursue a meteorology career in which they’ll need to know how to launch weather balloon. But they’ll leave the university with hands-on experience of how it’s done and an understanding of the importance of the activity to weather forecasting.
“It’s the primary method used to get weather information,” explained Fred Remer, associate professor of atmospheric sciences in the John D. Odegard School of Aerospace Sciences. “If we didn’t have these balloons, then we wouldn’t have forecasts. We wouldn’t know what’s going on in the atmosphere. Satellites would help us, but the balloons remain a critical component of our weather observing and forecasting method.”
UND sophomores in the meteorological instrumentation class and juniors in the atmospheric thermodynamics class learn about the importance of the data – both how it’s collected and how it’s used. They also receive hands-on experience in launching, tracking and monitoring data collection as a balloon is carried by winds aloft over hundreds of miles on flights lasting two hours or more.
“We feel that this is a great opportunity for the students to get experiential learning,” Remer said of the department-funded project that’s been occurring the past four years. “That’s why we’re one of the better programs in the area. Students are at the top of our list. We’ve got to provide them with a quality education.”
80 years of balloons
The National Weather Service began launching balloons equipped with radiosonde instrument packages about 80 years ago to collect data that includes temperature, relative humidity and wind direction and speed. Today, data sent back to a ground station by radio and GPS provides a vertical profile of the atmosphere from the surface up to 110,000 feet or higher.
Although the technology has changed over the decades, the importance of the information hasn’t, which is why the NWS continues to launch more than 180 weather balloons a day from locations in every state of the nation. Worldwide, there are about 800 weather balloon launch sites. In North Dakota, the NWS office in Bismarck launches balloons each day at 7 a.m. and 7 p.m.
“If there’s a severe weather outbreak, they’ll send up an extra balloon launch around noon because it provides us with firsthand knowledge of what the atmosphere’s doing,” Remer said. “This our primary method for forecasting severe weather thunderstorms, tornadoes, large hail – all sorts of weather phenomena.”
A few weeks before the end of UND’s spring semester, graduate teaching assistant Mark Bresnahan went through the steps of launching a weather balloon with sophomores in the meteorological instrumentation class. The students did everything from registering the GPS launch coordinates to inflating the balloon with helium to attaching the radiosonde, launching it and then observing the incoming data from the sixth floor of Clifford Hall.
“We have an antenna on Clifford Hall that connects to the radiosonde,” Bresnahan said. “It sends information back to the antenna, which displays on our computer screen. We have students fill out the parameters for each pressure level.”
The class was a mix of students training to be pilots, meteorologists and air traffic controllers. Erin Doyle, Alexandria, Minn., who plans to pursue a career in meteorology, said, “Most meteorologists won’t launch weather balloons on a regular basis, but this shows us how the data is collected that we look at on computers to make forecasts. It’s just a good experience for that.”
Sam Peterson, North Branch, Minn., is in ROTC with the goal of becoming a pilot in the U.S. Air Force, a profession that will require him to deal with jet streams. “Knowing how it works and how the process is done really helps you understand how the data’s gathered and what’s actually going on in the atmosphere,” he explained. “Plus, if I can’t be a pilot, I can still have a really good career in the weather field.”
Anthony Harris, Roscoe, Ill., is pursuing a major in air traffic control and a minor in meteorology. His interest in weather started when he was 5 and watching Jim Cantore on the Weather Channel covering Hurricane Katrina.
“We get firsthand experience on launching a radiosonde and the entire process that goes with it,” he said. “You can immediately see the sky conditions and get a live readout of what’s going on, as opposed to sitting in class looking at a sample sheet that was taken probably decades ago. It’s phenomenal.”
As an air traffic controller, Harris will be required to monitor the weather, advising arriving and departing aircraft pilots about conditions on the runway, in holding patterns and on approaches.
“To be able to go to UND and have this as a minor, as well as air traffic control as a major, I couldn’t ask for anything more,” he said. “Having a broad knowledge and background in weather can make you a significantly better controller.”
Remer emphasized that there’s an ongoing need for meteorologists with a knowledge of weather balloons. “This is one of those skills it helps to have when starting a job with the National Weather Service,” he stressed. “They will teach you how to do it, but for our students, it’s almost seamless. They fit right in because they’ve done it before and know what it’s all about.” | aerospace | 1 |

According to accounts, a fight broke out between a German man and his Thai wife, resulting in a loud confrontation on board.
The wife sought the pilot's assistance as well, stating she felt "threatened" by her husband's actions.
Soon later, Lufthansa Flight 772 requested permission to land at IGI.
The airplane requested permission to land at a Pakistani airport first, but that request was rejected.
When the plane touched down, the husband was removed from the plane and turned over to airport security, according to sources at the Directorate General of Civil Aviation.
According to airport officials, the individual has apologised to them, and security officers are in contact with the German embassy about the event.
The Delhi police and the paramilitary CISF are on the site. The decision on whether the individual would be handed up to Indian security forces or repatriated to Germany is being made.
The Lufthansa plane will take off for Thailand once its tyres cool off, sources added. | aerospace | 1 |

Normally, we're talking about doing this kind of thing with fairly ordinary objects. But a proposal to do the same thing with aging satellites could extend the life of current satellites, as well as helping to buy branded levitra reduce the growing amount of space junk found in orbit.
MacDonald Dettwiler and Associates (MDA) has a plan to develop a satellite service station to recharge and refuel already orbiting satellites. The robotic service unit would be able to replace batteries and add fuel to orbiting satellites that could potentially double or triple their working lifespan. Keeping existing satellites working would save billions of www.barefootfoundation.com dollars in construction of new equipment.
Most satellites have not been designed with servicing in mind, so the complexities of this system could run into unanticipated obstacles. Only a couple of satellite interceptions, such as would be necessary for this to work, have ever been performed in space. However, MDA is the company behind the technology for the Canadarm robotic arm used on the space shuttles, and such a system would be an important component of any refueling. The company hopes to begin testing systems by 2013.

Narrative:The R-34 was built in 1918 at the Beardmore Inchinnan airship factory, Glasgow. It was a massive airship; it measured 643 feet long, 79 feet in diameter and was 1,950,000 cubic feet in volume. It had five new Sunbeam Maori engines each with 270 horse power which gave it a top speed of 62 mph. It was nick-named "Tiny"! The R-34 had already made the first ever trans-oceanic airship flight in July 1919 when it flew to Mineola, New York and back. It had then been overhauled at Howden, prior to its crash near Guisborough.

|Phase:|| En route|

|Confidence Rating:|| Information is only available from news, social media or unofficial sources|
On 27th January 1921 the R-34 airship was being test flown after a major overhaul and a period of inactivity. On board were a number of RAF navigators who, it is believed, were being given instruction. The precise course and details of the incident are not yet known but it is believed that some of the crew were in their bunks with it probably being a run-of-the-mill flight.
When it was somewhere just off the Yorkshire/Durham coast the weather turned bad and with visibility reduced the airship drifted in land and towards higher ground, it struck high ground south of Guisborough at around 1,200 feet above sea level but took a glancing blow.
A sudden downdraft had pushed the airship onto the Moors at 00:10 hours on 28th January which awoke those asleep in the bunks. The airship then bounced off the moor and back into the air but the Captain then ordered the engines to be stopped whilst the damage was inspected. The front gondola had been badly smashed and had heather stuck in it, it's engine had been made useless and the aft car similarly had it's propellers taken out. A distress signal was made and two destroyers, HMS Wrestler and HMS Walker were ordered to proceed from Harwich to stand by in case R-34 drifted out to sea. A tug from Hull also stood by in the Humber should it be ditched nearer Howden.
The airship arrived back at Howden later that night but it was 16:34 hours before it was landed. It had taken 15 hours to get back to Howden due to two of the engines being rendered useless after all the propellers had snapped off. The only power was through the engines on the wing cars. Because of the poor weather when they arrived back at Howden high winds then prevented the ground crew getting it into a hanger.
R-34 struck the ground a number of times and they resorted to mooring it to trees in a nearby field. The next day it was inspected and found to be too badly damaged to be repaired and over the next three days it was scrapped.
During the early part of 1920 the USA decided to buy the R-38 airship and it was planned that it would be flown over the Atlantic after purchase. A crew was therefore sent to Howden to learn how to fly an airship, namely this one, the R34. The R-38 was lost in the Humber with fatal results later in 1921 (which see).
It is not known exactly who was on board the R-34 the day it struck the North Yorkshire Moors - the airship was designed to have a full crew of 26 - but the total probably includes those listed below:
Captain - F/Lt Hedley Vicar Drew AFC RAF.
F/O Harold F Luck.
Major George Herbert Scott
A/C man W Johnson
Corporal R J Burgess
L A C Frank Browdie
Possibly Fred Brodie, of Chippenham.
Whilst "Flight International" lists the crew that undertook the double transatlantic flight on 7 July 1919, ("six officers and 20 NCOs) it is not certain that any of them were on board on 8 Jan 1921

For fifty years the televised moon walk of the Apollo 11 lunar mission has been remembered as an historic moment. Regarded as one of humanity's most significant achievements, the goal of Apollo 11 was to land a man on the Moon and return him safely to the Earth.
The Lunar Module Eagle landed on the Moon, in the Sea of Tranquility, on 21 July 1969 AEST (20 July EST). A few hours later, Commander Neil Armstrong, followed by Lunar Module Pilot Edwin 'Buzz' Aldrin, became the first humans to walk on the Moon's surface.
Television of the moon walk was transmitted to 600 million viewers, and two radio antennas in Australia were an integral part of this historic event. Based in Honeysuckle Creek ACT and Parkes NSW, these 'dishes' and their Australian operators were in position to receive and transmit the television images of the moon walk.

Michael Chasen, CEO of Raleigh-based PrecisionHawk, will replace Intel’s CEO Brian Krzanich as chairman of the Federal Aviation Administration’s Drone Advisory Committee (DAC), it was announced today.
No doubt, it’s a personal achievement for the 40-something corporate exec (he declined to give his exact age), after serving as a committee member for the last two years.
But considering a post like this is usually filled by big names from even bigger public companies, to have a CEO of a relatively small private startup from Raleigh make the cut, is also a nod to the region.
“Quite frankly, it’s even more of an honor,” Chasen told WRAL TechWire ahead of the announcement.
“That’s a testament to the drone industry, the Triangle, as well as to PrecisionHawk. It goes to show that [we’re] recognized as a leader in the space.”
The DAC is comprised of executives from 35 tech and drone companies (Amazon, Google, Boeing are among its members), and advises the FAA on key integration issues relating to unmanned aircraft systems (UAS).
Since the FAA unveiled its drone regulations in 2016, the UAS industry has experienced exponential growth — with commercial drone use predicted to triple by 2023.
But as Chasen admits, there’s still much work to be done when it comes to “integrating drone technology into the daily experience of both commercial entities and the consumer.”
“If anything, the committee is going to face an industry that is speeding up, and therefore might be needing its oversight even more quickly than we’ve been operating in the past,” said Chasen, who will begin his two-year term immediately.
“I’m looking forward to working closely with the FAA and the entire committee to make sure that we have the right framework to allow the industry to grow at the rate that we’re already tapping into.”
Chasen’s own meteoric rise
Like the drone industry itself, Chasen is also enjoying his own personal meteoric rise.
Back in 1999, the Connecticut-native co-founded Blackboard, a dotcom era startup that brought college curriculum and coursework online, eventually seeing the company through a $1.64 billion private equity buyout in 2012.
A year later, he started SocialRadar, a geo-location startup that raised $12.75 million from investors, which sold to Verizon in 2016.
Finally, in 2017, he joined PrecisionHawk as chief executive, replacing Bob Young, the company’s longtime investor and Red Hat founder. Under Chasen’s watch, PrecisionHawk has gone on to raise a whopping $75 million in new financing – three times what it had raised previously since launching in 2010.
However, he remains humble about the company’s growth.
“This industry is really starting to take off. We’re almost along for the ride. The growth that we’ve seen has really been organic.”
Still, it’s clear that Chasen is on a mission. Just last month, the company announced that it’s moving into bigger digs above Raleigh’s Milk Bar. It also plans to expand its workforce to a headcount north of 350 by the end of the year.
“I believe there is a chance that we’re going to be, if not already, in a position to be the single market leader in this space,” he said. | aerospace | 1 |

Crisis communications planning is alive and well in the aerospace industry, according to a recent survey by BDN Aerospace Marketing.
Over 90% of aerospace industry marketing and communications professionals surveyed said that they have experienced a professional crisis - such as an incident or accident involving an aircraft they produce or operate. Eighty-seven percent of those respondents had a crisis communications plan in place to help them respond, and 90% of those plans were rated at least somewhat effective.
After an incident or accident, the most common crises experienced included: inaccurate media reporting (57%); natural disaster (43%); workplace injuries (40%). Seven percent of respondents said they had not experienced any of the events or circumstances mentioned in the survey.
In addition, 76% of those surveyed said they are knowledgeable about crisis communications - and 7% had no knowledge.
"BDN is heartened to learn that those who responded seem well prepared for the inevitable crisis, and that nine out of ten found their plans to be effective," said BDN Aerospace Marketing President Kyle Davis. "The lesson should be clear: having a crisis communications plan in place is a wise business decision." Copies of a White Paper about crisis communications planning for aerospace professionals are available at www.bdnaerospace.com
Those surveyed included CEOs and senior management responsible for public relations, marketing and related functions at OEMs, suppliers to OEMs, parts manufacturers, MROs, aircraft operators and FBOs. Their companies ranged in size from 10 to 5,000 employees.

The Story of Life in the RFC and RAF Through Three Operational Pilots
My seventh and latest book tells the stories of three pilots from widely differing places: Lincolnshire, Warwickshire and South Africa, and social backgrounds: sons of a country JP, a market gardener and a vet. They are typical of the composition of the RAF and their individual military careers link to present day in a dramatic perspective of the period from the fragile biplane-age when the Royal Flying Corps/ Royal Naval Air Service (RFC/RNAS) was created in April 1912, through the First World War, Inter-war, Second World War and up to the strategic, atomic-age jets of the RAF V-Bomber force, at the height of the Cold War in the 1960s. One introduced air reconnaissance in BE2s over the battlefields of France; another flew Hurricanes and Spitfires in combat; while the fourth tested and introduced air-to-air refuelling for Valiant bombers that gave the RAF V-Force its global capability.
Major Leonard Dawes learned to fly at his own expense in 1912, gaining Royal Aeronautical Club (RAeC) pilot certificate number 228, on a Bristol Boxkite, marking him as one of the very earliest 'fledgling' airmen. He joined the Royal Flying Corps's (RFC) first aeroplane squadron (No.2) in whose frail BE2 biplanes he made many ground-breaking long-distance flights throughout England, Scotland and Ireland before the outbreak of the First World War. He attended the embryo Central Flying School, training alongside airmen - including Hugh Trenchard and other famous names in aviation – many of whom established the formative organisation and traditions of the RAF and went on to occupy its highest echelons. Leonard flew his aircraft to France as part of the first RFC operational deployment to the battlefront upon outbreak of war in August 1914. Having been in some of the very first air-to-air combats - firing rifles and pistols at equally primitive German aircraft; decorated by the British and French governments while flying some of the first air reconnaissance patrols of the First World War; because of his experience, Leonard was posted back to England in 1915 to raise new squadrons and prepare them for battle over the Western Front. In the course of this training phase, he became associated with several squadrons that still exist today in the RAF, such as No.2 Squadron (Leonard's own first squadron; now flying Typhoons) and No.29 Squadron (He was its first CO; Typhoons).
Gp Capt Dickie Barwell volunteered and learned to fly with the RAF in 1926. He became the youngest Group Captain when in 1942 he took charge of Biggin Hill, the RAF's most famous fighter airfield, at a crucial period of the air battles of the Second World War. Having been schooled in the unique, traditional inter-war method of on-squadron flying training, his exceptional flying skill was quickly recognised and he was sent to the Central Flying School, first as a student for Qualified Flying Instructor (QFI). When later called back to join its staff, Barwell became a member of the crack CFS Air Display team at the RAF Hendon Pageants. After further training as an aero engineer, he returned to flying duties in the 1930s, rose to command No.46 Squadron, the fighter squadron he had joined as a novice in 1926. When the Second World War began in September 1939, he gained fame and a DFC as the victor of the Battle of Spurn Point, the first major air battle of the Second World War, fought off the east coast of England in October 1939. With his skills and experience, Dickie was earmarked for high rank and promoted to command RAF Sutton Bridge and after a spell at No.12 Group Fighter HQ, became station commander of RAF Biggin Hill. Always keen to get a slice of the action and see how his subordinates did their work, he flew combat sorties in the Battle of Britain as wingman to the legendary Douglas Bader and even as a station commander, flew on highly demanding fighter 'sweeps' over France in 1941/42, during which he was always in the thick of the action and credited with shooting down enemy aircraft. It was a sad end to his brilliant career when he was himself shot down and killed in 1942 by a novice Spitfire pilot in a tragic case of 'friendly fire'.
Born in Mafeking, South Africa and educated in England, Sqn Ldr Brian Fern joined the RAF and learned to fly at the British Flying Training School in Ponca City, Oklahoma, USA during 1942. Returning to England, he was selected for training at the Central Flying School (CFS) to became a Qualified Flying Instructor (QFI) for multi-engine aircraft, after which he trained hundreds of other pilots destined for Bomber Command during the Second World War. Made redundant from the RAF - like thousands of his contemporaries - at the end of the war, he joined the Tanganyikan Police Force for five years but with the advent of the Cold War, Berlin Air Lift, and Korean War, the RAF found itself very short of aircrew and mounted an advertising campaign for recruits. Out in Africa, Brian responded and with his past experience, was gratefully accepted by the RAF, eventually becoming operational on the Canberra and Valiant bombers at the height of the Cold War. Having served as aircraft captain of a Valiant bomber he was deployed frequently to distant parts of the British Empire. When the RAF decided it should become a global-reach, nuclear-equipped, jet-bomber force it required a new approach to the question of in-flight refuelling in order to achieve this strategic aim. As a Flight Commander of 214 Squadron, at this point Brian became one of the earliest exponents of air-to-air refuelling operations in the RAF's new V-bomber force, carrying out lengthy operational trials with the Valiant as a flying tanker, including claiming its first long-distance flying record. He later trained Valiant and Vulcan pilots how to re-fuel in the air, a technique vital, not only to the strategic aims of the RAF, but also to the many record-breaking long-distance flights made in that era to all corners of the Commonwealth. Brian ended his RAF career as deputy station commander of RAF Gatow in Berlin where, among his diplomatic duties, he carried out spying sorties, for BRIXMIS, at the controls of the innocuous DH Chipmunk trainer aircraft flying at low level over East German territory in the Berlin Corridor.

Will these vehicles be space classics some day?
KHOU’s Air 11 in Houston caught aerial photo’s of the alien looking vehicle while traveling the Houston freeway. Watching it unload at it’s destination could only make one imagine that it was being unloaded in the surface of Mars. Carl Sagan would be proud.
The surface exploration version of the SEV has the cabin mounted on a chassis, with wheels that can pivot 360 degrees and drive about 10 kilometers per hour in any direction. It’s about the size of a pickup truck (with 12 wheels) and can house two astronauts for up to 14 days with sleeping and sanitary facilities. Likewise, the in-space version of the SEV would have the same pressurized cabin on a flying platform; it too would allow two astronauts to stay on-site for 14 days.
The surface SEV is designed to require little or no maintenance, be able to travel thousands of miles climbing over rocks and up 40 degree slopes during its ten year life. The vehicle frame was developed in conjunction with an off-road race truck team and was field tested in the desert Southwest with 140 km of driving on rough lava.

- Catapults would make the Liaoning a training platform for China's next-generation carrier.
- The next-generation carrier will have catapults similar to those on the US's newest flattop, the USS Gerald R. Ford.
China is considering equipping its only serving aircraft carrier, the Liaoning, with a hi-tech launch system that will render its ski-jump flight deck obsolete and create a platform for training pilots in the latest naval aviation skills.
A retired PLA Navy officer told the South China Morning Post that the 14-degree deck on the Soviet-built ship might be fitted with electromagnetic catapults.
“This will make the Liaoning a training platform to fly warplanes for China’s next generation aircraft carrier, the Type 002,” the officer said on condition of anonymity.
“It’s just a proposal because pilots on the ski-jump aboard the Liaoning will become less important after its sister ship, the Type 001A, goes into service later this year.”
Using the lessons learned in refitting the Liaoning, originally a Soviet Kuznetsov-class carrier acquired in 1998, China launched the Type 001A in April 2017. It is likely to be named Shandong when it enters service on a date that could be as early as the navy’s anniversary in late April, according to Beijing-based naval analyst Li Jie.
The Type 002, meanwhile, will be fitted with catapults similar to those found on the nuclear-powered USS Gerald Ford, which uses the world’s most advanced electromagnetic aircraft launch system.
The system would allow the PLA Navy to launch planes carrying a greater weapons payload and more fuel, expanding operations.
Beijing-based military expert Zhou Chenming said the possibility of a refit for electromagnetic launchers was raised after shipbuilders found the Liaoning to be compatible.
It wrapped up a week-long sea trial in the Yellow Sea last week after a nine-month long refit — its first major upgrade since it was commissioned in 2012.
“The original design of the Liaoning wasted too much space because of a lack of carrier building experience [among experts working in the former Soviet Union],” Zhou said, adding that China removed some of the carrier’s original weapons systems, including Granit anti-ship missiles.
“China needs to train carrier-based pilots to take off from electromagnetic catapult systems and land on a floating and shaking platform when the carrier is at full-speed, which is close to real battle training.”
Both the Liaoning and its sister ship, the Type 001A, as well as the new Type 002, use conventional propulsion, meaning their fighting capabilities lag behind the US’ nuclear-powered carriers.
Hong Kong-based military expert Song Zhongping said, however, that the chance of refitting the Liaoning with electromagnetic launchers was slim because of the costs involved.
“Refitting work is too comprehensive and too complicated. I don’t think it’s necessary to do such a difficult project,” he said.
But Zhou said time was more important than cost, given the need to train pilots quickly to meet China’s long-term goal of having a minimum of four carrier battle groups in service by 2035.
“A professional carrier-based fighter pilot needs at least 10,000 hours of on-ground and on-board training, while current training for Chinese pilots is limited to a ground-based simulated electromagnetic launch system near Bohai Bay [in the inner waters of the Yellow Sea],” he said.
“If Chinese marine pilots now start take-off and landing training with on-board electromagnetic launchers, they will take at least four years to meet the [10,000 hours] goal.”
Beijing is keen to expand its carrier groups to fulfil its naval ambitions and defend its growing overseas interests. Construction of the Type 002 began last year and the vessel is expected to be launched by 2025. | aerospace | 1 |

SpaceX’s top manager Elon Musk, the company’s satellite internet provisioning system, Starlink, due to not go at the requested speed of work on the project was reported that the 7 senior managers fired.
According to information provided by the company’s two employees, Musk has been experiencing some differences with the team that developed Starlink satellites, and especially because of the end date of the project has separated the paths of many names were recorded. The names that have been recently employed include Microsoft and Google.
The small and low-priced satellites of the Elon Musk wanted to be the first to launch the market in the mid 2019, and it was said to be competing with OneWeb and the Canadian Telesat Company. Among the names that lost their job were the SpaceX VP satellites, Rajeev Badyal and chief designer Mark Krebs.
SpaceX had previously received permission from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to send four thousand 425 satellites with low orbit between 2019 and 2027 in space. When the Starlink project is activated, wired Internet and fiber optic cables can be used via Internet satellite in areas where the cable is not available and will rise at long distance internet speed. At the beginning of Elon Musk, SpaceX wants to put the Internet access via satellite into service in 2020.
In relation to Starlink in Musk 2015, “We will recreate the internet in space. Our goal is to ensure that long-distance internet traffic is done through this network. ”
SpaceX has about 6 thousand employees. At the beginning of this year 50 people were separated from the company voluntarily. The company’s Redmond office in Washington was given a job posting for 22 people at the beginning of the week. | aerospace | 1 |

(Ben) Bentley is a retired U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel and a resident of Huntsville. He is married and has one son and one daughter. Ben is employed at Defense Acquisition Incorporated and he enjoys fishing and woodworking. He is a big fan of Alabama football and the Dallas Cowboys. On 28 December 1968, then Captain Bentley was serving as an aircraft commander of an AH-1G gunship in the Republic of Vietnam. When a light observation helicopter received enemy fire and crashed. The crew was evacuated but the aircraft and valuable weapons and avionics equipment was in danger of being captured by the enemy. With great difficulty and under intense enemy fire a friendly infantry unit was able to be airlifted to the scene. During the attempts to land the infantry and recover the equipment, Ben Bentley made continuous aerial rocket and machinegun attacks until his ordnance was completely exhausted. His extraordinary courage contributed immeasurably to the success of the mission. For his heroic actions, Ben Bentley was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross. On 7 March 1969 Ben Bentley was serving as an aircraft commander of a gunship in the Republic of Vietnam. During a reconnaissance operation to evacuate ground forces, he applied deadly accurate aerial rocket and machine gun fire along a tree line near the pick-up zone. He then made numerous low level passes during the extraction to draw enemy fire away from the friendly forces being lifted out. After successfully drawing enemy fire away during two extractions, he was able to pinpoint and neutralize several enemy positions. For his valorous actions, Ben Bentley was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross. On 9 March 1969 Ben Bentley was serving as a platoon leader for a flight of armed helicopters on a visual reconnaissance mission while serving in the Republic of Vietnam. When a scout helicopter reported ground fire, ground troops were inserted and immediately made contact with a two battalion sized enemy force. He began immediate suppressive fire and at the same time his wing aircraft received hits which required that aircraft to return to base. His aircraft then experienced mechanical difficulties with its weapon systems which did not allow their full use. He made numerous passes to draw enemy fire away from the friendly ground forces and marked enemy targets so other aircraft could direct fire on the enemy positions. Despite the fact his aircraft had been damaged by enemy fire, and his weapons were not fully operational, he continued to fly throughout the day in support of the friendly forces on the ground. For his heroic actions, Ben Bentley was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross. Between 16 and 17 May 1969 Ben Bentley distinguished himself by exceptionally valorous actions while serving aboard a Cobra gunship during a rescue mission. When a mobile force unit came under heavy attack from an enemy force his aircraft was requested to provide gun cover and evacuation of the ground forces. In spite of deteriorating weather and cloud cover, his aircraft made numerous gun runs and placed accurate rocket and machine gun fire on the enemy forces. His aircraft then escorted the extraction helicopters into the area under heavy automatic weapons fire. For his actions on that date, Ben Bentley was awarded the Air Medal with Valor. | aerospace | 1 |

Though the film falters, the World War II story that inspired it — a B-24 bombing mission seemingly cursed from the outset (beginning on a Friday the 13th), flying from Australia to destroy enemy refineries in Borneo — is certainly compelling. Its crew members survived tropical thunderstorms, antiaircraft fire, attacks from Japanese Zeros, low fuel and a perilous landing on Australia’s remote north coast, where they were aided by aborigines. The flight is widely believed to have been the longest airplane bombing mission up to that time.
But “Shady Lady” has all too many deficiencies: an overreliance on narration (“The situation seems hopeless,” intones Michael Dorn, from “Star Trek: The Next Generation”); an apparently weak effects budget; an awkwardly applied musical score; and trite dialogue (“I’ve got a bad feeling about this”). The actors, their characters outlined in quick strokes, do their best, with Ross Neuenfeldt, as First Lt. Douglas S. Craig, the crew commander, providing the necessary stoic authority. All of them must take a back seat to loving, lingering shots of wireless radios, aircraft artillery, navigation equipment and cockpit control panels. It comes as no surprise that the director, Tristan Loraine, comes from a background as an airline captain and a documentarian. Perhaps those jobs make best use of his skills.Continue reading the main story | aerospace | 1 |

"They are yet to reach the crash site due to inclement weather and terrain. Team will be camping overnight due to difficult terrain and weather, and will close in to the crash site tomorrow," an IAF spokesperson said.
The nine personnel from IAF's mountaineering team, four from the Army and two civilian mountaineers were dispatched a day after the wreckage of the aircraft was located by an IAF Mi-17 helicopter at a height of 12,000 ft near Gatte village on the border of Siang and Shi-Yomi districts in Arunachal Pradesh following an eight-day-long, muti-agency search.
The area is thickly forested and has been receiving heavy rains since the last three days, according to local officials.
There are reports of rain and haze all over the mountainous zones of Siang district and I think it will be a herculean task due to the inhospitable terrain, Shi-Yomi district Deputy Commissioner Mito Dirchi told PTI.
A massive search operation had been launched to look for the missing aircraft, which had 13 people on board.
Today #IAF mobilised 15 personnel for rescue operations of #An32 crash. The rescuers are expected to reach the crash site by tonight. The terrain weather &thick vegetation is slowing down the progress of rescue team. IAF is making every effort possible to reach the site. #Rescue— Indian Air Force (@IAF_MCC) June 12, 2019
The Russian-origin AN-32 aircraft was going from Jorhat in Assam to Menchuka advanced landing ground near the border with China on June 3 when it lost contact with ground staff at 1 pm, within 33 minutes of taking off.
Air Marshal RD Mathur, Air officer-commanding-in-chief Eastern Air Command complimented the search team for their relentless effort.
Mathur also thanked Arunachal Chief Minister Pema Khandu and Chief Secretary Satya Gopa for extending unflinching support to the IAF towards locating the missing aircraft.
"The proud and highly patriotic people of the state have worked tirelessly to help the IAF for a national cause," said the spokesperson.
An AN-32 aircraft had crashed near a village in West Siang district of Arunachal Pradesh in June 2009 in which 13 defence personnel were killed.
The aircraft had crashed over the Rinchi Hill above Heyo village, about 30 km from Mechuka advance landing ground.
In July 2016, an AN-32 aircraft went missing after taking off from Chennai for Port Blair with 29 people on board.
The aircraft could not be traced even after weeks of massive search operations covering 2,17,800 square nautical miles by multiple aircraft.
Months later, an IAF court of inquiry concluded that it was unlikely that the missing personnel on board the aircraft would have survived the accident. | aerospace | 1 |

MOSCOW - At least three American reconnaissance aircraft were spotted near Russia’s southern and western borders on 1 May, the online aircraft monitoring resource PlaneRadarreports.
A US Air Force Boeing RC-135V, a large reconnaissance aircraft based in the UK, flew near the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad on the Baltic Sea at 12:00 Moscow time, travelling at 692 kilometres per hour.
The plane made its reconnaissance flight at an altitude of almost eight kilometres.
In addition, a US Navy P-8A Poseidon anti-submarine patrol aircraft took off from NATO’s Sigonella base in Sicily, Italy on Tuesday, and made its way to the vicinity of Novorossiysk, a Russian port city on the Black Sea.
Shortly after, the plane conducted a three-hour reconnaissance flight near Crimea’s southern borders, moving at a speed of almost 567 kilometres per hour at an altitude of about 4.6 kilometres.
Separately, a US Air Force RQ-4B-40 Global Hawk drone took off from a base in Italy and flew near eastern Ukraine's Donbass region before heading to Russia’s Black Sea coast.
Tuesday’s flights were the latest in a series of such missions carried out by the US military in the past few months.
The US and NATO have substantially increased their reconnaissance operations along Russia's borders in the Black and Baltic Seas, as well as around Russian military facilities in Syria, in recent years.
The past year has seen 3,000 foreign combat aircraft, including about 1,000 spy planes, flying near Russia's maritime and land borders. The Russian Defence Ministry has repeatedly called on the Pentagon to put an end to such flights; however, these requests were dismissed by Washington. | aerospace | 1 |
https://www.cnet.com/pictures/25-years-inside-the-worlds-largest-wind-tunnel-pictures/ | 2019-08-25T04:51:26 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-35/segments/1566027323067.50/warc/CC-MAIN-20190825042326-20190825064326-00120.warc.gz | 0.936477 | 961 | CC-MAIN-2019-35 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2019-35__0__39874034 | en | Tests conducted inside the world's largest wind tunnel at the National Full-Scale Aerodynamics Complex at NASA's Ames Research Center in Mountain View, Calif., give researchers a unique opportunity to have a controlled look at the forces affecting flight.
Originally built in 1944 at what was then the National Advisory Council for Aeronautics (NACA) Ames Aeronautical Laboratory, the wind tunnel was originally a 40-foot-by-80-foot facility, upgraded 25 years ago this week -- on December 11, 1987 -- by adding on a massive 80-foot-by-120-foot test section, and renamed the National Full-Scale Aerodynamics Complex (NFAC).
The facility has tested Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) aircraft and rotorcraft at low speeds, F-35 Lightning prototypes, a full-scale UH-60A Black Hawk rotor with Individual Blade Control, scale models of space shuttles, space parachutes, a full-scale replica of the Wright brothers' first airplane, and even tractor trailer trucks.
Here, an F/A-18 High Alpha fighter tests high angle-of-attack aerodynamics in the NFAC 80-foot-by-120-foot test section.
Testing for the Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) Curiosity rover landing parachute was also conducted at the NASA Ames 80-foot-by-120-foot test section. The parachute was the largest ever built to fly on an extraterrestrial mission. This image shows a duplicate qualification-test parachute inflated in 80-mile-per-hour wind inside the test facility. It has 80 suspension lines, is more that 165 feet long, and opens to a diameter of nearly 51 feet.
Scale model studies of some aspects of flight, including parachutes and rotorcraft, are limited because the way they interact with the air is far more complicated than fixed wing aircraft. Despite better computer simulations, there has been limited success in gathering accurate data between air and rotors and parachutes, NASA says, making full-scale testing in this wind tunnel invaluable.
An XSB2D-1 Navy/Douglas aircraft mounted in the 40-foot-by-80-foot test section viewed from center point in guide vanes. This was the first model tested in the tunnel following its construction in 1944.
For 40 full years before the fall of the Soviet Union, the NFAC had housed first the largest, and then the two largest, wind tunnels in the world. But no one could say for sure because until 1986 the United States did not have accurate information on the state of Soviet aerodynamics facilities.
NFAC 80-foot-by-120-foot wind tunnel drive fans. After re-powering the facility in 1980 and increasing the capacity of the wind-generating turbines, the smaller section's top wind speed was increased to 300 knots (345 mph) while the large section, which is big enough to test a Boeing 737, is capable of a top speed of 100 knots (115 mph).
The tunnel has six 40-foot diameter fans each with 15 laminated wooden blades. When operating at full power the fans turn 180 revolutions per minute, moving 60 tons of air per second, using 104 megawatts of electricity -- the equivalent of a 225,000-person city, NASA says.
In March 1999, as part of the Centennial of Flight celebration, a full-scale replica of the 1903 Wright Flyer was mounted in NASA Ames Research Center's 40-foot-by-80-foot wind tunnel for tests to build a historically accurate aerodynamic database of the flyer. For two weeks, engineers studied the replica's stability, control and handling at speeds up to 27 knots (30 mph) in the wind tunnel.
Lawrence Livermore National Labs (LLNL), Navistar, and the Department of Energy conduct a smoke test demo in the NFAC 80-foot-by-120-foot wind tunnel test section. The idea behind the project was to find a way to reduce fuel consumption at highway speeds by 10 percent, helping the commercial trucking industry and, by association, trickling down to consumer projects, cutting costs on fuel, and reducing carbon-dioxide emissions.
The continued use of the facility highlights the fact that even in the age of supercomputers and sophisticated computer modeling, wind tunnel testing is still essential to understand the realistic forces at work in aerodynamics. While the use of computers allows modeling and the introduction of a broader range of test conditions, because of their ability to produce highly accurate results in complex situations, NASA says wind tunnels like the Ames facility will continue to play an important role in the development and testing of new aircraft and a variety of other aerospace vehicles in the future. | aerospace | 1 |

Their destination and exactly when the jet mechanics, maintenance specialists, support personnel and pilots will leave is being kept secret for security reasons. But early next week, the roar of F-16 fighter jets leaving Truax Field will signal that the 115th Fighter Wing is on its way.
An undisclosed number of the warplanes will depart between midnight and 6 a.m. The departure time is set so they arrive at their destination on schedule, said Master Sgt. Daniel Richardson, spokesman for the wing.
Members of the Guard who are not pilots will travel separately over the next few days.
A departure ceremony for family members took place Thursday, and another is scheduled for Saturday. The sendoffs at state Guard headquarters on Wright Street are not open to the public.
The 115th Fighter Wing is expected to be deployed for two months, providing an "eye in the sky" for ground forces who request help after coming in contact with enemy forces, Richardson said.
In most cases, the pilots fly over and radio information about what can be seen from the air, he said.
A secondary mission is flying over roads used by ground forces. The pilots look for signs of explosive devices, Richardson said.
The 115th previously went to Qatar in December of 2004 and to Iraq in June 2006 and January 2008.

Tripoli, 5 January 2015:
Turkish Airlines has suspended . . .[restrict]all passenger flights to Libya, after cancelling yesterday’s services for security reasons.
“Our flights to Misrata have been suspended until further notice, due to operational reasons,” said the deputy head of media relations for Turkish Airlines, Dr Ali Genc.
The suspension followed the airline’s cancellation of two flights yesterday for security reasons, after military airstrikes took place in Misrata for the second time whilst a Turkish Airlines passenger aircraft was at the airport.
Although the airstrikes, carried out by the Libyan National Army (LNA), have not so far targeted Misrata Airport, the nearby military aviation academy has been hit. The port and the LISCO iron and steel works have also been targeted.
Turkish Airlines confirmed that no decision had yet been taken regarding their charter cargo flights to Misrata. [/restrict] | aerospace | 1 |

(AP) - Two people are dead after their small plane crashed into a central Florida neighborhood.
The plane crashed into a back yard in Merritt Island around 8:30 p.m. Monday. Brevard County Sheriff's Lt. Alex Herrera says both people on board the plane were dead at the scene. No one else was injured.
Colton Primeaux watched the plane crash into his neighbor's yard. He says he heard the plane backfire and sputter as it approached the ground.
The crash occurred about three miles from the Merritt Island airport. It wasn't clear whether the plane had taken off or was landing.
Officials have not released the names of the victims.
Investigators from the Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board are expected to visit the site Tuesday.
A small plane also crashed into a field after taking off from Daytona Beach International Airport, killing both people on board.
Daytona Beach Police Chief Mike Chitwood says the Cessna 172 crashed and burst into flames late Monday.
Chitwood told the Daytona Beach News-Journal (http://bit.ly/1jhyMMh ) that witnesses say it sounded like the plane's engine failed shortly after taking off. It crashed as it turned to head back to the runway.
The bodies were taken to the medical examiner's office.
The National Transportation Safety Board and Federal Aviation Administration are sending investigators to the scene Tuesday.

In 1996, the company first partnered with Goddard to gold-coat a telescope mirror for use on the Mars Global Surveyor. The mirror, known as the Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter (MOLA), functioned as part of a laser device to chart Mar’s topography. Epner Technology’s LaserGold® process was used on the mirror to give it the sensitivity necessary for the opera- tion. The success of this project led Goddard to call upon Epner’s expertise again to work on the Vegetation Canopy Lidar (VCL) mirror. This partnership resulted in new commercial applications for the LaserGold process in the automotive industry.

A numerical investigation of the effects of high lift devices on the low-speed performance of a generic swept wing and a delta wing was conducted. The two fixed planforms were initially sized to achieve the same high speed performance as the baseline variable geometry wing. Following a review of high lift devices a detailed analysis of their use was conducted with the aid of vortex lattice method and empirical formulations. The slat and Fowler flap combination proved to be the best mechanical solution. In comparison with the initially sized delta planform, the final delta planform required a 26% increase in wing area with high lift devices to achieve the required low speed performance. This increase in area resulted in a 14% reduction of the maximum lift-to-drag ratio at cruise. The fixed swept wing had an increase in area of 8% over the initially sized fixed swept planform. This resulted in a decrease of the maximum lift-to-drag ratio by 1.1% at cruise. The calculated specific air range ratio for the delta planform versus the variable geometry planform was 0.95. The calculated specific air range ratio for the fixed swept planform versus the variable geometry planform was 0.94. The resulting weight penalty for the variable geometry planform did not appear to be as detrimental as initially thought when comparing against larger fixed wing planforms with high lift devices. Leading edge extensions and vortex lift could provide an even further increase in �����.

I have no idea what happened to that aircraft,” he said. “I don’t think anyone else has, either.”
Association of Asia Pacific Airlines
Asiana Airlines released a statement on June 24 closely following the NTSB’s finding of probable cause for the July 6, 2013 crash of Flight 214 at San Francisco International Airport. The South Korean airline said, “The NTSB made four training recommendations to Asiana, all of which Asiana has already implemented. We believe the NTSB has properly recognized the multiple factors that contributed to the accident, including the complexities of the autothrottle and autopilot systems, which the agency found were inadequately described by Boeing in its training and operational manuals.”
Australian officials have once again amended the search area for the Malaysian Airlines Boeing 777 missing since March 8. “Specialists have analyzed satellite communications information–information that was never initially intended to have the capability to track an aircraft–and performed extremely complex calculations,” said Deputy Prime Minister Warren Truss. “The new priority area is still focused on the seventh arc, where the aircraft last communicated with a satellite. We are now shifting our attention to an area farther south along the arc based on these calculations.”
Chinese carriers have canceled several flights to Kota Kinabalu in response to poor market demand and safety concerns following a spate of kidnappings of Taiwanese and Chinese tourists in the east Malaysian state of Sabah since April.
The U.S. National Transportation Safety Board has determined that Asiana Flight 214 crashed on July 6 last year at San Francisco International Airport because the flight crew mismanaged the approach and inadequately monitored airspeed. Announcing the findings at a meeting on Tuesday in Washington, D.C., the Board also found that the complexities of the autothrottle and autopilot flight director systems and the crew’s misunderstanding of those systems contributed to the accident.
Boeing Business Jets announced an order on Tuesday for a BBJ 777-300ER to an undisclosed customer. This is the second widebody bizliner order for the company this year, it said. Since Boeing Business Jets introduced the 747-8 and 787 in 2006, widebody airplanes have accounted for nearly 40 percent of the total net orders at the division. The BBJ 777 will be delivered green to the customer’s completion center of choice for outfitting.
As the air transport industry’s heavy hitters gathered in Doha for IATA’s June 1-3 annual general meeting (AGM), thoughts turned to heavy iron—namely, prospective widebody developments that stand to upset the competitive status quo as early as the Farnborough Air Show in July.
Last week’s conference on aircraft tracking in Kuala Lumpur came just two months after the Malaysian Ministry of Communications and Multimedia requested help to determine the best methods for watching commercial aircraft in real time following the March 8 disappearance of Malaysian Airlines Flight MH370. The preliminary report on the accident, issued last month, recommended that the International Civil Aviation Organization examine the safety benefits of introducing a standard for real-time tracking of commercial aircraft.
Chile’s aviation authority has suspended the air operator certificate of local airline PAL after it failed a safety audit. The only reason given by the agency was “the airline’s failure to satisfy unspecified technical requirements laid down in its AOC that could put its safety and security at risk if not resolved.” PAL operates a fleet of Boeing 737-300s.
Singapore Airlines (SIA) confirmed to AIN that it has a so-called “pass over” policy under which it reserves pilot jobs on its Airbus A380 fleet almost exclusively for Singaporean citizens. The policy means that a Singaporean pilot, irrespective of his seniority number, will be preferred for A380 vacancies over expatriate colleagues. | aerospace | 1 |

Venus’s environment is nothing short of hellish, with surface temperatures soaring to a blistering 480 degrees Celsius, surface pressures a staggering 90 times that of Earth, and an unpleasant scent of rotten eggs, all due to the presence of sulfur compounds.
Senesky raises a compelling question: Could studying Venus’s evolution shed light on Earth’s environmental history and aid in averting a similar fate via climate change? Billions of years ago, Venus might have resembled Earth. Understanding this transformation could offer valuable insights into preserving Earth’s habitability.
In the Extreme Environment Microsystems Laboratory, also known as the X Lab at Stanford University, Senesky’s research revolves around resilient electronics and materials for space exploration. To adapt electronics for the harsh Venusian environment, her team employs wide bandgap semiconductor materials—ceramic materials capable of withstanding high temperatures while reliably conducting electrons. These materials are pivotal for sensors and communication devices in the hostile Venus atmosphere.
Creating electronics from wide bandgap semiconductors presents its challenges. Defect-free material growth and comprehension of their performance in high-temperature and chemically corrosive conditions remain ongoing challenges.
An innovative endeavor involves leveraging space’s unique environment to synthesize novel materials. Senesky’s team capitalizes on the distinctive chemistry that occurs in microgravity, where materials can acquire previously unattainable properties. Microgravity eliminates effects like sedimentation, which affect processes on Earth, making space an ideal environment for materials innovation.
Two decades ago, during microgravity material growth experiments on the space shuttle, researchers discovered that materials produced exhibited superior quality with fewer defects and faster growth rates. Consequently, manufacturing materials in space could lead to enhanced products produced both faster and with greater precision.
Senesky’s team aims to conduct experiments on the International Space Station (ISS) to synthesize graphene aerogels—lightweight, highly porous, electrically conductive, and thermally insulating materials. These aerogels serve various purposes, from heat shields to battery electrodes and sensor components. Manufacturing them in a microgravity environment ensures they possess more uniform properties.
The prospect of space manufacturing is no longer science fiction. Commercial Low-Earth orbit Destinations (CLDs) are emerging, resembling the International Space Station but created by the commercial industry. These CLDs offer exciting prospects for manufacturing materials and products with applications both on Earth and in space missions.
This marks the dawn of a new space economy and an uncharted frontier in reimagining the possibilities of life 50 years from now. Senesky and her peers are at the forefront of understanding our cosmic neighbors, extracting vital lessons from Venus and enhancing our capacity to explore the cosmos.

Kennedy Air Force One exhibit during the Cockpit-Fest USA and AVSIM simulation convention to be held at the Kansas Aviation Museum, 3350 S. George Washington Blvd., Wichita,KS 67210.
The replica, which is built from a real 45-foot long aircraft fuselage, is currently undergoing conversion in Augusta, Kansas from a President Nixon configuration to the earlier JFK configuration. It will feature the cockpit, an Air Force One communication station, a presidential stateroom, and a bedroom that was specifically designed for the Kennedys.
"It is fitting that the JFK Air force One debuts in Wichita, Kansas, because the Wichita Air Force One program here not only supported SAM 26000 but has provided upgrades and maintenance on every Air Force One since the 1960’s," stated Steve Cannaby, president of Nu-Tek Aircraft Instruments which is converting the replica to the JFK configuration.
"Normally the Air Force One support personnel cannot talk about the work they do but this replica will give them the chance to show their friends and family what an Air Force One is like," Cannaby noted, "and this will be the only public appearance of this exhibit while it is still under conversion." In addition to touring the JFK style interior the public will get to see some of the conversion work in progress.
Owned by the American Presidential Experience, in its Nixon configuration this SAM 26000 replica has been used in movies and for exhibit at several Republican Presidential Conventions in addition to being displayed at the Presidential Museum in Branson, MO.
"JFK was the first President to use SAM 26000," stated Kansas Aviation Museum executive director Lon Smith. "Later, Jacqueline Kennedy decided the Presidents’ planes needed a special livery and commissioned Ramond Loewy to design a new one. That livery is still used by all Air force One aircraft to this day."
After Cockpit-Fest USA the replica Air Force One will be placed on display at the Frontiers of Flight Museum in Dallas, Texas, in remembrance of the JFK assassination and the swearing in of President Lyndon Johnson aboard SAM 26000.
Cockpit-Fest USA will feature multiple privately owned aircraft cockpits and flight simulators that will be transported from across the United States to the Kansas Aviation Museum for one weekend of public display. The AVSIM Simulation Convention will feature International participation of simulator vendors and enthusiasts of flight simulations such as Laminar Research X-Plane and Microsoft Flight Simulator.
The event will be held at the Kansas Aviation Museum on Saturday and Sunday, May 4th and 5th from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Regular admission applies:

A regular round of consultations on using drones supplied by Russia and the EU countries to the OSCE (Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe) Monitoring Mission in Ukraine is scheduled for Wednesday, October 22, an OSCE official told TASS on Monday.
Two rounds of such consultations were held earlier. The parties continue discussing all nuances for using drones, the official said.
A diplomatic source at one of the delegations said physical security of drones had become the “stumbling block.”
The mission’s existing mandate envisions the presence of only civilian personnel, it said.
On Friday, October 17, Italian Foreign Minister Federica Mogherini said at the Asia Europe Meeting (ASEM) summit in Milan that several EU countries and Russia were ready to hand over drones and military personnel for their service under the OSCE control.
Earlier, France and Germany said they were ready to supply their drones to the OSCE Mission.
On October 10, German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier said Germany notified the OSCE it was ready to send drones and military escort to Ukraine. Steinmeier said that an “armed escort” for the teams operating the unmanned aircraft would be required if the mission were to go ahead, saying both Berlin and Paris had made this clear when suggesting the deployment to the OSCE.
Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko allowed the OSCE monitors to use drones in the east of the country.
Poroshenko and OSCE Chairperson-in-Office Didier Burkhalter also agreed to increase the number of monitors and provide them with better technical means for monitoring and verification.
The OSCE Secretariat earlier said that the drones would be used to monitor the Ukrainian-Russian border and in compliance with the ceasefire agreement reached in Minsk on September 5.
The sides agreed that the drones will be supplied by the Austrian company Schiebel. It will provide two S-100 vertical take-off and landing drone systems, a control station, six operators, and three mechanics. | aerospace | 1 |

On receiving the information about the woman, police reached the spot and seized drone camera, remote control and started the investigation.
According to Station House Officer, Charminar police station, “Yesterday in the late night, a 26 years old woman, Suparna Nath, was flying drone camera at historic monument Charminar. A case has been registered under section 70(b) CP Act and 188 IPC.”
Further probe is on.
Earlier, Hyderabad police reportedly banned the use of drones for a month in April after receiving inputs from the intelligence agencies about the possibility of terror attacks.
As per a notification issued by Commissioner of Police and Executive Magistrate of Hyderabad City, government agencies and organisations will need to obtain appropriate clearance from local Police and aviation authorities before launching any Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), Unmanned Aerial Survey (UAS) for any purpose.
“Any person contravening this order shall be punishable under section 188 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860,” the notification further stated. (ANI) | aerospace | 1 |

INTRODUCTION After returning to KSP after a lengthy hiatus and watching a few videos on propeller-driven aircraft in KSP I've decided to start off with something ambitious. The Tu-95, or "Bear" (NATO callsign assigned to the Tu-95) is a long range strategic bomber designed by the USSR in the early 50s to provide the Soviet Air Force with a bomber capable of reaching targets overseas without refueling. They achieved this feat through the use of extremely efficient Kuznetsov NK-12 turboprop engines. Being the most powerful propeller-driven aircraft to ever take it to the skies the Tu-95 boasted a respectable bombload comparable with it's US counterpart - the B-52. The famous nose refueling probe first appeared on the K version of the aircraft which extended it's already impressive range even further from 10000km to over 14500km with support from aerial tankers. This immense operational range caused the Bear to become a feared weapon among the US airmen who were often sortied to intercept the bombers conducting operations in proximity of US airspace. FEATURES This KSP version comes with a range of functions to make flying this leviathan a unique experience. -Four stock propeller turboprop engines. I've decided to resort to propellers being there for mostly visual purposes. Turbines serve as the main source of thrust for the plane. Working on the bearings (Credits to Squiddy for the idea!) for a few hours was worth it in my view - watching the engines spin up individually is a magical experience. They operate incredibly smoothly. Instructions on operating the engines will be included further down. -Clean bomb bay capable of housing various ordnance up to 1.25m radius. -RDS-37 Thermonuclear bomb replica in the bomb bay -Functional, historically correct flaps. -Detailed engine nacelles - no aesthetic tradeoffs from using the propeller mechanism. -Correctly placed gear! As much as i loved winged's Bear i saw a while ago on the forums his landing gear placement, necessary due to Bear's long and heavy tail section was bugging me for a long time. He was a great inspiration in making this replica too. -Relatively rigid, wobble-proof construction -Near-historical specifications: Length: 40.3m (46.2m historically) Wingspan: 43.3m (50m historically) Height: 10m (11.1m historically) Weight: ~88t dry (90t historically) Top speed: ~215m/s (227m/s historically) Partcount: 488 HOW TO FLY ACTION GROUPS BRAKES (B) - Engages brakes ACTION GROUP 1 - Toggle turbines ACTION GROUP 2 - Toggle flaps ACTION GROUP 3 - Toggle landing lights ACTION GROUP 4 - Toggle bomb bay door GEAR (G) - Toggle main gear " [ " AND " ] " - Toggle between propeller controls and aircraft controls PRE-FLIGHT AND STARTUP -Decrease throttle to zero and preferably engage brakes to prevent plane from rolling down the runway -Engage stage 1 to spool up the turbines -Engage stage 2 to release bearings, SAS should be disengaged at this point -Begin the engine startup procedure. Switch to the first propeller by pressing " ] " twice -Hold Alt key and press down on Q or E key (preferably Q for left engines and E for right engines) -You will see the roll indicator in the bottom left corner of the screen slowly move to the side -Wait until the indicator hits the limit of the roll gauge, the propeller should start up. -Move onto the next engine by pressing " ] " twice. Repeat steps until all engines are started up. -You are now standing on the runway at idle thrust, engines running. Time to go flying. TAKEOFF AND FLIGHT -Switch back to the plane controls with " ] " key, release the brakes, thrust idle. -Engage the SAS preferably for an easier takeoff run, although the craft is mostly passively stable on the runway and in the air. -You can deploy flaps with " 2 " for extra immersion, although KSP physics limit their effectiveness. -Throttle up to max power, let engines spool up and start rolling. -Let the aircraft gain speed. For the Tu-95 V1 is at ~70m/s and preferable V2 is at ~90-95m/s -Apply elevator until positive rate, retract gear and flaps. -Wait for the plane to gain some speed for maneuvering, approx 120/s allows you to maneuver safely without risking a stall. FLIGHT CHARACTERISTICS This craft handles as you would expect from a heavy strategic bomber, although it's maneuverability is by no means frustrating. SAS helps with stability so it is advised to utilize it for the duration of the flight. It has plenty of wing area and is designed to be naturally stable during flight so unless you try something stupid the plane should not cause you problems. Landing with flaps allows for higher AoA during approach, advisable landing speed is ~105m/s. SHUTDOWN -Engine shutdown is possible via two different ways after coming to a full stop at the runway 1. Switch to each engine control and engage SAS to stop the propeller 2. Use the Alt trim to revert trim back to it's neutral position, the propeller will come to a stop shortly afterwards. I really hope that you will have as much fun flying this thing as I had designing it. Enjoy! DOWNLOAD LINK https://kerbalx.com/EvenFlow/Tu-95K Updated on 22-07-2017, V1.1 CHANGELOG 1.0 - initial release 1.1 - changes to some minor details, e.g. positioning of the anti-shock bodies on the horizontal stabilizers, added a replica of the RDS-37 thermonuclear bomb into the bomb bay, revamped the page of the craft as a part of a major overhaul. | aerospace | 1 |

On a recent journey, the Ingenuity helicopter, which is exploring Jezero Crater with its rover companion Perseverance, got something attached to its foot. Engineers captured the debris on video during Ingenuity's 33rd trip above Mars in late September and noticed that footage revealed the debris shot off the little helicopter. (While it may resemble a cobweb or a Twinkie wrapper, we can be certain it is not aliens.) Footage from the mission's NavCam shows the debris organically descending back to the surface partway through the trip before Ingenuity landed safely on the Martian sands.
According to NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, "all telemetry from the flight and a post-flight search and transfer are nominal and show no indication of vehicle damage." The Mars 2020 Ingenuity and Perseverance teams are attempting to determine the origins of the debris.
Ingenuity is well into a lengthy mission. The drone is the first to fly over Mars and was designed to fly five times. It is already on its way to exceeding that figure seven times over. NASA is putting Ingenuity to the test as much as possible, especially because the agency hopes to use Mars helicopters for a future sample return mission. Perseverance is on a long-term mission to collect the most promising materials for closer investigation on Earth, as scientists seek more clues about whether life existed on Mars in the past. Meanwhile, Ingenuity is serving as a scout for Perseverance as the rover explores an old river delta. Water on Mars is one of the most important topics of research as scientists continue to debate the planet's habitability. | aerospace | 1 |

If you are looking for a perfect gift that won’t dent your wallet, you might want this one. It is a good idea to get your child started on the drone hobby.
The only downside we might mention with the A31 mini quadcopter for kids is that blades seem to break so easily. Many owners of this quadcopter also complain that it is hard to find replacement blades.
This is a very lightweight drone. Even the smallest wind velocity is going to make it hard to trim. We advise that you fly it on a calm day in a large open space or fly it indoors.
Apart from that little anomaly, we find this mini drone a good fit for children and beginners. Keep reading to see its features and functions.
Tomzon A31 Mini Features & Technical Details
Even mini drones must come with enough features. Here, we shall start with the design and build quality.
Design and Build Quality
This mini quadcopter is not foldable but the saving grace is that it is quite small and light in weight. It measures 5 by 6.2 by 1.7 inches. You can slip it in your jacket pocket easily and carry it without feeling the weight.
The takeoff weight of this quadcopter is 68g! That is quite low and you will not need to register it with the FAA.
Like most of the other Tomzon drones, even the A31 is made with soft but strong ABS material. Drone makers choose ABS material because of its lightweight and resilient nature.
This small drone also comes in what the manufacturer calls safety shape. The reason for this is that blade guards are round in shape, protecting the propellers from breaking if the drone crashes.
From the complaints lodged by other people, it seems as if this is a good idea because these blades might be too delicate.
This aircraft comes assembled and ready for flight. It also has some of the most stunning LED lights and it can even change to different colors.
This is not a camera drone since there is no mention of the camera in the manufacturer’s website. Therefore, you can only have fun flying the drone over its short. At this price, you can buy one for each member of the family so that you can have fun racing them against each other.
If there is no camera, it also means that you cannot enjoy an FPV experience.
Batteries and Flight Time
The Tomzon A31 comes with two 3.7 710mAh batteries to double the flight time. Each battery is going to give you a flight time of 6 to 8 minutes. Therefore, on a good day and without doing stunts like flips, the two batteries will give you 16 minutes of flight time.
The battery is easy to insert and remove from the quadcopter.
These batteries are safe to handle even for kids. They also come with a thin charging cable and each battery can charge in a maximum of 80 minutes.
If you do 3D flips, the voltage will go down faster.
This remote controller is a bit small, so if you have large hands, you might find it a bit cramping if you use it too long. It uses three AAA batteries, which you have to buy separately. However, you will admire the simplistic design that comes with a few keys that serve different functions.
For children, the remote controller is perfect because of its small size and lightweight design. The simplistic design also makes the remote controller easy to use since it cannot confuse a kid. Besides, the package comes with a user manual, which makes everything so simple.
The A31 comes with a selection of helpful flight functions, which make the quadcopter so simple to fly.
Here are some of them:
One key stop
This is an emergency brake. If the drone seems headed to an obstacle like a tree, you can press the one-stop key and it will stop immediately in its tracks.
One key return
While the drone is still within the range of the remote controller, just press the one key return and it will come back home.
The flight height of the quadcopter is already set so that you do not have to worry about the vertical flight. Just concentrate on flying the aircraft horizontally.
In this mode, you do not need to worry where the nose of the drone faces. It will align itself according to the pilot’s position.
One Key Landing and Take off
When you press this key, the quadcopter takes off and hovers at a height, waiting for the next move. This key makes it so simple to launch this quadcopter.
Three Speed Modes
These are slow, medium and quick. They enable pilots of all experience levels to fly the drone.
Short Summary of Feedback from Existing Owners
I bought two of these drones for my twin sons on their tenth birthday. Almost three months later, they cannot have enough fun. Antony C.
Honestly, I bought this small quadcopter for the price. But I am so impressed by how stably she flies and the LED lights are awesome. Stuart L.
The propeller blades are not too durable even with the circle guards. Fly it cautiously so that you do not crash it. Elliot L.
I find the remote controller so small and I have huge hands. However, I love the way the LEDs light up making the flight dazzling especially in low light. Joe H.
3D flips, stunning LEDs, incredibly low price and two batteries – couldn’t ask for more or better. Rod G.
Tomzon A31 Pros
- Drone and remote controller pair so easily
- 3D flips make the drone so much fun to fly
- The all round propeller guards protect your kids’ hands
- Sold ready to fly
- It is very simple to fly

Tomzon A31 Mini Drone Cons

Who Should Buy the Tomzon A31 Mini Drone?
This drone is good for beginners and kids mostly because of its simplistic design. It also comes ready to fly so you don’t have to tinker with anything. Everything about this quadcopter is so straightforward and the user manual is easy to understand. If you would like to have fun as a family, you should buy one for everyone because the price is affordable.
Conclusion and Recommendation
First, you need to start flying this aircraft on the low speed setting. When you learn how it flies, you can try the faster speeds.
Do not fly the drone in windy conditions because it can fly away and never come back. At the same time, it might lose its stability in even the lowest speed wind.
The motors are brushed so they might feel a bit loud. Therefore, fly it away from pets so that it does not spook them.
For such a low price and the many flight functions, the Tomzon A31 mini drone for kids is worth having. The 3D flips make it awesome to fly. | aerospace | 1 |

NASA announced April 5 that it had updated its Commercial Crew Transportation Capability (CCtCap) contract with Boeing to study potential changes to the second of two test flights of the company’s CST-100 Starliner vehicle, currently intended to carry two people on a short-duration mission to the station.
Those changes, NASA said, would involve adding a third crewmember to flight and extending its mission from two weeks to as long as six months, the typical length of an astronaut’s stay on the ISS. The changes would involve training and mission support for that third crewmember and the potential to fly cargo on both that mission and an earlier uncrewed test flight.
NASA said in the statement that adding the third astronaut, and extending the mission’s stay, could “could allow for additional microgravity research, maintenance, and other activities” while at the station. The agency acknowledged, though, that it could also be used to maintain a U.S. presence on the station should the development of both Starliner and SpaceX’s Crew Dragon vehicles experience more delays.
“This contract modification provides NASA with additional schedule margin if needed,” said Bill Gerstenmaier, NASA associate administrator for human exploration and operations, in the statement.
Earlier this year Gerstenmaier had suggested that commercial crew test flights could be used as crew rotation missions for the ISS if necessary. “Those test flights might be able to be extended a little bit, fly a little bit longer, maybe fly a little bit of crew, and they could be kind of an operational mission,” he said during a Feb. 8 speech at a Federal Aviation Administration commercial space transportation conference here. “That’s something we’re beginning to discuss with both SpaceX and with Boeing.”
Gerstenmaier said then that the changes envisioned included adding a third crewmember and extending the test flights to bridge any schedule gaps until at least one commercial crew vehicle is certified by NASA for regular flights to the station. He said then that he hoped to reach a decision this summer on whether this approach would work.
NASA has limited options for accessing the ISS after next year. NASA acquired three Soyuz seats from Boeing for flights to the ISS in the spring of 2019, seats that Boeing obtained from Russian company RSC Energia as part of a settlement of a lawsuit between the two companies regarding Sea Launch.
Astronauts flying on those seats would return to Earth in the fall of 2019, at which point NASA would lose access to the ISS unless at least one commercial crew vehicle is online. Gerstenmaier has previously said that buying additional Soyuz seats is not an option given the long lead times required for Soyuz production.
In the statement, NASA said that it was approached by Boeing last year about the contract change. SpaceX’s CCtCap contract is not affected by the change. “If SpaceX submits a proposal for their crewed flight demonstration, the agency will review it through the normal procurement process,” NASA spokesperson Cheryl Warner said April 6.
Gerstenmaier, in the statement, noted that NASA has about six months of schedule margin in current commercial crew development schedules. However, those schedules have slipped considerably in the past, raising concerns that additional delays could jeopardize continued U.S. presence on the ISS.
NASA’s last update on commercial crew test flight schedules, released in January, listed Boeing conducting an uncrewed test flight in August 2018 and a crewed test flight in November. SpaceX’s schedule includes an uncrewed test flight in August and a crewed test flight in December. If companies remained on those schedules and had successful test flights, they would be in line to be certified by NASA for operational missions in early 2019.
Those schedules remain valid, said Kathy Lueders, manager of NASA’s commercial crew program, during a March 26 presentation at a meeting of the NASA Advisory Council’s human exploration and operations committee. She added, though, that those dates are “constantly under review.”
“We’re continuing to make considerable progress,” she said as she wrapped up reports on the status of Boeing and SpaceX. “I can’t emphasize enough how this next year, year and a half, is going to be critical for us.”
At that meeting, committee chairman and former astronaut Ken Bowersox asked if the current schedules were “aggressive,” and Lueders agreed. “In a perfect schedule, it all could come together,” she said, but added “there are things that can happen along the way.”
“We really want to give them the time to do this right,” she said. “Yes, we want them to do it as fast as possible, but we’re not willing to sacrifice the safety of the crew.” | aerospace | 1 |

First flying in 1942, it did not see action until 1944. Nicknamed the Swallow, it caused quite some fear in Allied fighter and bomber crews but by then, it was too late.
Me-262 in Joe SteeleEdit
The Me-262 had been captured in Germany at the end of World War II, and reversed engineered back in the United States. The US copy was christened the F-80 and was employed in combat during the Japanese War where it was considered more than a match for the Gurevich 9.
During the Race Invasion of Tosev 3, Killercraft destroyed many of the primitive aircraft of the Earth's air forces, including the Luftwaffe. The Me2-62 was thrown into the battle straight away but was still very inferior, compared to the Race's standards.
The Me-262 was used in defense of the Ploesti oil refineries. It was fast for many propeller planes but wasn't fast enough to outrun missiles. | aerospace | 1 |

This resulted in the 727-200, which Boeing announced it was developing in August 1965.
The 727-200 was essentially a minimum change development of the 100, the only major change being the 6.10m (20ft); fuselage stretch, which increased maximum seating to 189 passengers. The 727-200's stretch consisted of two 3.05m (10ft); plugs, one forward and one rear of the wing. Otherwise the 727-100 and 200 shared common engines, fuel tank capacity and the same maximum takeoff weight.
The first flight of the 727-200 occurred on July 27 1967, with certification granted in late November that year. The -200 was placed into service by launch customer Northeast Airlines (this airline was later acquired by Delta); the following month, by which time total 727 orders for both models had exceeded 500.The 727-200 helped broaden the sales appeal of the 727 considerably and snared significant sales.

Grand Jury Indicts Clayton Osbon With Interference With A Flight Crew
A grand jury has handed up an indictment against JetBlue pilot Clayton Osbon for interference with a flight crew after he had to be restrained during a flight March 27th.
Osbon was locked out of the cockpit by his co-pilot after he began to say "things just don't matter," while flying the A320. According to FBI documents, he told the co-pilot "We're not going to Vegas." He became disruptive, running up and down the aisle of the airplane and banging on the lavatory door, then tried to force his way back into the cockpit, He eventually had to be restrained by several passengers, and the plane made an emergency landing in Amarillo, TX, where he was arrested. While being restrained, he reportedly yelled "pray now for Jesus Christ" and "guys, push it to full throttle" along with references to terrorist, Iraq, and Iran.
Reuters reports that the court has ordered a psychiatric examination to determine his fitness to stand trial. The federal prosecutors said that the investigation is ongoing at this time. Osbon's attorney was unavailable for comment.

India: Astrosat and AIS-Sats launched on PSLV-C30
to the non-mobile version
On September 28, 2015, a PSLV launcher launched the Indian Astrosat space observatory and 6 satellites for monitoring ship traffic from ramp number 1 of the Satish Dhawan space flight center of the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) on the island of Sriharikota on India's south coast.
PSLV-C30 took off
The flight of the PSLV-C30 projectile, 44.4 meters high and weighing around 320.2 tons, with Astrosat at the tip, began at 10:00 a.m. local time (IST) and 6:30 a.m. CEST on September 28, 2015 End of a countdown lasting exactly 50 hours.
After using up the solid fuel in the side-mounted boosters of the type PS0M-XL and the first stage with the designation PS1, as well as the ignition of the second, with the liquid fuels UH25 (75% asymmetrical dimethylhydrazine (UDMH) + 25% hydrazine hydrate) and N2O4 (Nitrous tetroxide) powered rocket stage PS2, the payload fairing was thrown off.
Then the third stage PS3 went into action, burning solid fuel. In the fourth and final PS4 rocket stage, liquid propellants were used again, here MMH as fuel and a mixture of nitrogen oxides (MON-3) as oxidizer. After the PS4 had done its job, after a short 37-second free flight phase, 32 minutes and 22.92 seconds after take-off, the astronomy satellite with a launch mass of 1,513 kilograms (unfueled 1,470 kilograms) was disconnected.
PSLV-C30 has cleared the tower
The start of use of the two solar cell booms, which together provide a maximum of around 2,100 watts of electrical power, was able to be started by the tracking network called ISRO Telemetry, Tracking and Command Network alias ISTRAC with its center and mission operations complex (MOX) in Bangalore, India, which now monitors and monitors the satellite controls, confirm on the basis of received telemetry data.
Storage of electrical energy on board Astrosat is made possible by two lithium-ion battery sets with a capacity of 36 ampere hours each.
Milestones of the PSLV-C30 flight
In the coming days, ISRO wants to put Astrosat into its final operating configuration. The scientific payload must be tested and calibrated before starting the research mission. The plan is for the last of the on-board instruments to be switched on 45 days after take-off.
Astrosat - artist's impression
The five instruments with a total mass of 868 kilograms on board Astrosat are intended for use in the areas of visible light, ultraviolet (UV) and in the areas of soft and hard X-rays and can make their observations at the same time. Astrosat has a 120 gigabyte semiconductor storage unit for storing acquired scientific data. If the satellite is in the reception range of the ground station, data can be transmitted to the control center, from where it is transported to the Indian Space Science Data Center (ISSDC) in Byalalu for processing, archiving and further processing.
Astrosat is being prepared for launch
In addition to other Indian institutes, two institutions from Great Britain (University of Leicester, UoL) and Canada (Canadian Space Agency, CSA) are also involved in the Astrosat project.
The development of the satellite began in 2004. At the time it was still being thought of a launch in 2007, but this could not be realized due to numerous delays in the Indian space program.
Instrument installation locations and UVIT
It is hoped that new knowledge will be gained with regard to energy-rich processes in so-called binary systems, each composed of a black hole and a neutron star. One expects information about the magnetic fields of neutron stars. Regions in which new stars are formed and high-energy processes in star systems outside of our galaxy are to be observed. One wants to record short-lived, bright X-ray sources. Certain areas of the universe are to be scanned in the UV and in the area of hard X-rays.
CZTI - artist's impression
The X-ray detector called LAXPC for Large Area X-ray Proportional Counter from TIFR and RRI is intended to record variations in the emission of X-ray sources such as binary systems and active centers of galaxies at energies between 3 and 80 kiloelectron volts (keV). The effective detector area is 8,000 square centimeters (between 5 and 20 KeV). The total detector area is 10,800 square centimeters.
the components of the Soft X-ray Telescope (SXT)
The Cadmium Zinc Telluride Imager, or CZTI for short, from TIFR, IUCAA and ISRO can also work in the area of X-rays. It is sensitive to high-energy X-rays with energies between 10 and 100 keV. The effective detector area is around 480 square centimeters with a total area of 973 square centimeters.
The scanner with the designation SMM for Scanning Sky Monitor from the ISRO Satellite Center (ISAC) and IUCAA is intended to observe bright, longer-lasting X-ray sources in binary systems and short-term X-ray bursts. Its three counters for energies between 2.5 and 10 keV are mounted on a rotatable platform that, when set in rotation, enables all regions of the sky in the field of view of the scanner to be sighted once every six hours.
Cubesat structure (here 2U variant)
Four of the satellites with the proper names Joel, Peter, Jeroen and Chris are intended to be part of a satellite constellation called Lemur-2 by Spire Global from San Francisco in the USA, which is a system for monitoring ship traffic, called AIS for Automatic Identification System, support and collect weather data.
According to plans by Spire Global, the Lemur 2 constellation is to comprise between 50 and 100 earth satellites in the future. Satellites with a payload for the AIS add a space segment to the system, which enables the reception of position data from watercraft even beyond the range of terrestrial AIS stations.
At sea level, the range of the AIS is between 50 and 100 kilometers. Terrestrial AIS stations exist in different densities along the coastlines, and for example particularly in the area of port facilities and straits. It is estimated that over 70,000 vessels worldwide are equipped with AIS transmitters.

LAPAN-A 2 with a mass of around 68 kilograms was also equipped with cameras for earth observation and an amateur radio payload.
One of the two camera systems enables a PAL video camera to image areas 80 kilometers wide on the ground. The second camera system, which is experimental in nature and equipped with HDTV technology, was designed for a swath width of 11 kilometers and a resolution of 6 meters.
AIS components on board LAPAN-A 2
The APRS on board LAPAN-A 2 uses the frequency 145.825 MHz. The speech repeater uses a frequency of 435.88 MHz in the uplink, its transmissions are made on 145.88 MHz. A telemetry radio transmits, as far as planned, on 437.425 MHz.
The small satellite with a cube-shaped main body - edge length ~ 20 centimeters - is based on a university's own satellite bus and was given the alternative designation NLS-14 in the context of the nanosatellite launch program of ISRO (Nanosatellite Launch Services, NLS).

This year marks the 58 anniversary of the launch of the world's first artificial Earth satellite. This is an achievement that has led our country to lead the process of developing near-Earth space. And although in recent decades, the success in this industry is much more modest, the fact that the first satellite, the first living creature, and the first man went into space from the Russian land, on domestic rockets and through the efforts of thousands of our countrymen, gives us confidence that the situation can and should change.
After all, the country that had just survived the most disastrous war in world history — the Great Patriotic War — and barely recovering from its wounds — managed to find the strength and the ability to look into decades to the future! And the launch of the first satellite was just such a “glimpse”. But it is necessary to remember not only that 4 of October 1957 of the year, the Earth had the first artificial satellite, but this word itself was included in the dictionaries of all the languages of the world. It is worth remembering how long and difficult was the path to this literally the finest hour of the domestic space industry.
German heritage and the Russian mind
If we turn to the most distant sources of the 4 October 1957 Soviet triumph, we must admit that without the design ideas of the Socialist-Revolutionary Nikolai Kibalchich, without the theoretical positions of the scientist Konstantin Tsiolkovsky and, in general, man’s dream of a breakthrough to the stars, nothing of the kind would have happened . But specific events, as a rule, have specific causes and motives, more specific performers and implementers. So it was with the first satellite of the Earth. Among his “parents” are Sergei Korolev, the creator of the national cosmonautics, Mstislav Keldysh, academician and researcher Mikhail Tikhonravov, power engineer and electrical engineer Nikolay Lidorenko, ingenious design engineer Gleb Maximov and one of Korolev's closest associates - design scientist Boris Chertok. It was he who frankly admitted in his memoirs (in fact, the first of all the founders of the Soviet cosmonautics!) That the history of the first artificial satellite by and large "had a German origin in both the Soviet Union and the United States."
Here's how Boris Chertok described the history of this “beginning” in the book “Rockets and People”: “In connection with the ban on the Versailles Peace Treaty of 1919, developing new types of artillery weapons and building combat aircraft the German military drew attention to the prospects of long-range missiles - this document did not prohibit them. Especially active relevant work began in Germany after 1933, with the advent of Hitler to power. Then a small group of enthusiasts led by a young talented engineer Werner von Braun received support from the army, and then (her job. - RP.) Became a priority state armament program. And in 1936 ... they began to build a powerful research, production and test rocket center Peenemünde (Rostock district). And in 1943, the first successful launch of the A4 long-range ballistic missile, which later received the propaganda name FAU-2 (“Fergeltung” - “retribution”), was made. ”
It was with this rocket that the Soviet specialists, who in the last days of the war were sent to study the captured equipment in Peenemünde, dealt with. “The main achievements of the German specialists were the technology of mass production of powerful liquid-propellant rocket engines and flight control systems,” writes Boris Chertok. - The ideas of the Russian scientist and inventor Konstantin Tsiolkovsky, German Herman Obert, American Robert Goddard and other brilliant singles of the late XIX - early XX centuries. turned into concrete engineering systems by teams of powerful firms Siemens, Telefunken, Lorentz, etc., local universities, which conducted research on the tasks of Peenemünde ... Studying her experience in 1,5 years in Germany itself, we including me, I was convinced: their rocket is not a projectile, not a gun, but a large and complex system requiring the use of the latest achievements of aerogasdynamics, radio electronics, heating engineering, materials science and high production standards. ”
Although the last volleys of war still thundered, the Soviet Union was already seriously thinking about what the new, post-war world would be. And it was completely obvious, especially after the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, that the era of a completely different technology was coming, among which missiles should take the leading place. And it was necessary to understand whether our country, where the issues of rocket flights were engaged in the first twenty years of the twentieth century, is capable of making a technological breakthrough.
“After the surrender of the fascists, I was among the organizers of the reconstruction of the German rocket technology in Germany itself,” Boris Chertok recalled. “Even then, we were convinced: no new physical laws were needed for the creation of powerful long-range missiles flying through outer space. In 1947, the flight tests of the FAU-2 assembled in Germany began work on its actual development in the USSR. It became the first long-range unmanned automatically controlled device ... In 1948, at the first Russian Kapustin Yar missile range (the Volga interfluve and its left arm Akhtuba), the P-1 missiles, copies of German V-2, but made entirely from domestic materials, were tested. And in 1949, a series of high-altitude flights of these devices for exploring outer space took place. And in 1950, the following tests began - P-2 - at a distance of 600 km. The final “separation” from the heritage of the FAU-2 was our rocket P-5 at a distance of 1200 km, whose checks were carried out with 1953. At the same time, with the help of P-5, we, together with other domestic scientists, launched research on the use of a rocket as a carrier of the atomic bomb. ".
The legendary "seven"
It turns out that a completely peaceful achievement - the launch of the first artificial Earth satellite - is of military origin ?! Yes this is true. And one should not be surprised at such a twist of fate: in those years, many scientific discoveries, which later received purely peaceful significance, were made in the framework of purely military projects. Moreover, as the future Hero of Socialist Labor noted in 1939, the outstanding theoretical rocketist Mikhail Tikhonravov, “all work without exception in the field of rocket technology ultimately leads to space flight.”
So, going back to the beginning, it is worth repeating after Boris Chertok: "The history of the creation of the first satellite is connected with the work on the rocket as such." After a series of experiments, literally by trial and error, the Soviet designers of rocket technology created, without exaggeration, an ingenious design - the legendary “seven”, intercontinental ballistic missile R-7. Its genius lies in the fact that this system, which made its first flight in the distant 1957 year, a few months before the beginning of the space era, is still launching spacecraft and astronauts into orbit.

“During 1955 – 1956. The first technological complex of the P-7 rocket was completed, tested at the Leningrad Metal Works in conjunction with a real launch system, writes Boris Chertok in his memoirs. - At the fire stands near Zagorsk (now the city of Peresvet) began fire tests of individual rocket blocks. Under the leadership of N. Pilyugin, modeling and complex testing of the control system were carried out ... 14 January 1957. The USSR Council of Ministers approved the P-7 missile flight test program. And the first technological “fitting” rocket was sent to Tyuratam (later Baikonur. - RP) at the test site already in January. I spent many days and nights at the test station. We carried out autonomous and complex electrical checks of the rocket: first, block by block, then we assembled the package and conducted its tests as a whole. And no wonder: they found a lot of errors in the documentation and complex electrical circuits. However, there is nothing surprising: instead of the usual one propulsion system, we had five! 12 steering engines alone! 32 combustion chambers (20 main and 12 steering). "
The first flight of the "seven" took place on 5 on May 1957 of the year and continued, if we keep in mind the controlled section, in just 98 seconds. The fourth launch, which took place on 21 in August, became a frontier: despite the fact that it ended in failure, after six days the official organ of the Soviet media, TASS, transmitted to the whole world a message that the first intercontinental ballistic world was developed and tested in the USSR rocket.
And here in the history of space exploration, which was still the history of the creation of the most terrible weapons on Earth, His Majesty intervened. As Boris Chertok recalls, “September 7 1957 was held the next launch of the Р-7 (№ М1-9). The entire active site, all blocks worked fine. However, the head part again burned in the dense layers of the atmosphere, although this time we managed to find a few remnants of the structure ... It was obvious: the product could fly, but its head part needed to be drafted, which required at least six months of intensive labor. But every cloud has a silver lining: the destruction of the head parts opened the way for the launch of the first simplest satellite of the Earth: after all, he did not need to enter the dense layers of the atmosphere. And Korolev received Khrushchev's consent to use two missiles for an experimental launch of the novelty. 17 September 1957, at a solemn meeting dedicated to the 100 anniversary of the birth of K. Tsiolkovsky, almost no-one was then reported to a member of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR, Sergei Korolyov. He said that in our country in the near future an artificial Earth satellite could be delivered into space. And after 5 days, the launch vehicle 8K71PS (product M1-PS) arrived at the test site. ”
It is this rocket that will go down in history in just twelve days, launching the first artificial satellite of the Earth into orbit. Which, by the way, also turned out the way the whole world now knows him, almost by accident.
From the space laboratory - to the half-meter ball
Despite the fact that the idea of launching an artificial satellite in the literal sense of the word was in the air from the end of 1940-x, it began to acquire real features only at the beginning of 1950-x. The summer of 1954 can be considered the starting point of the work on the “embodiment” of the first satellite in metal: May 27 Sergey Korolev presented to the Minister of Defense Industry Dmitry Ustinov a memorandum “On the artificial satellite of the Earth”. In particular, it said: “At present, there are real technical possibilities to achieve with the help of rockets a speed sufficient to create an artificial satellite of the Earth. The most realistic and feasible in the shortest possible time is the creation of an artificial satellite of the Earth in the form of an automatic device that would be equipped with scientific equipment, had radio communication with the Earth and circulated around the Earth at a distance of about 170 – 1100 km from its surface. Such a device will be called the simplest satellite. "
The process of preparing more detailed and specific proposals and approvals “at the top” took almost a year and a half. Only 30 January 1956 of the year issued a decree of the Council of Ministers of the USSR on the creation of an undirected artificial Earth satellite. In the documents, as Boris Chertok recalls, he passed “under the secret code“ Object D ”with a mass of 1000 – 1400 kg with scientific research equipment with a mass of 200 – 300 kg. The general scientific management and provision of equipment for the scientific research of outer space was assigned to the USSR Academy of Sciences, the development of the satellite itself to OKB-1 (led by Korolev), and the conduct of experimental launches to the Ministry of Defense. ”
The project “Object D” was completed by July 1956 of the year, and at the same time determined the range of scientific problems that it was intended to solve. In fact, the whole remote-controlled laboratory was supposed to go into space! Her tasks included measuring the ionic composition of space and solar corpuscular radiation, studying magnetic fields and cosmic rays, recording the thermal mode of a satellite, controlling its deceleration in the upper atmosphere, estimating the duration of its existence in orbit, accuracy of determining the coordinates and parameters of the orbit, etc. And since such a work in the USSR, and anywhere else in the world, has not yet been done by anyone, the deadlines for the preparation of the “Object D” were continually sabotaged and moved back further and further. And soon, as Boris Chertok writes in his memoirs, “Korolev, who was satisfied with the deadlines for the production of the first satellite in the space laboratory version, came to the government with a proposal:“ There are reports that in connection with the International Physical Year, the United States intends to 1958 launch a satellite. We risk losing priority. I propose instead of a complex laboratory "Object D" to put into space the simplest satellite ". The proposal was accepted - the launching of the launch of the simplest satellite PS began. ”

It is under this name - PS-1, that is, the “simplest satellite” - the device went down in history. It was a ball with a diameter of 58 cm, assembled from two half-shells with docking frames interconnected by 36 bolts. Since the satellite was to be filled with dried nitrogen after assembly, the joint was sealed with a rubber gasket. There were four antennas in the upper semi-envelope, of different lengths: two of them were 2,4 m long, and the other two were half a meter longer, 2,9 m. There was also a spring mechanism that, after separating the satellite from the launch vehicle, spread the antennas at an angle of 35 ° from the longitudinal axis. The PS-1 power supply unit, designed for uninterrupted operation for two weeks, consisted of three batteries based on silver-zinc cells and was created at the Institute of Current Sources under the guidance of Nikolay Lidorenko. The equipment of the first satellite also included a remote switch, a fan of a thermal control system, a dual thermostat and control thermo and a relay. All together, the structure weighed 83,6 kg - 12 times less than the original plans for "Object D".
Half a second to make history
At the launching point of the test site No. 5 of the USSR Ministry of Defense Tyuratam, which only a few years later would become known to the whole world by the name of Baikonur, the P-7 rocket No. М1-9, at the head of which PS-1 was hidden under the fairing, dawned at 3 October 1957 of the year. A day and a half was spent preparing for the start. And in 22 hours 28 minutes 34 seconds, the world's first artificial Earth satellite launched into space.
“Through 295,4 from the satellite and the central unit of the launch vehicle went into orbit,” recalled Boris Chertok. - For the first time, the first cosmic speed, calculated by the Englishman Isaac Newton, the founder of classical physics and the law of the world, was achieved (1643 – 1727). It was for the first satellite 7780 m / s. The inclination of the satellite orbit was equal to 65,1 °, the height of the perigee 228 km, the height of the apogee - 947 km, orbital period 96,17 min. After the first enthusiasm, when the signals “Beep-beep-beep”, which became immediately known to all mankind, were received at the test site and, finally, were processed by telemetry, it turned out that the rocket launched on the eyebrows. The engine of the side unit "G" went to the mode with a delay, i.e. less than a second before the control time. If it were still slightly delayed, the scheme would automatically “reset” the installation and the start would be canceled. Moreover, on the 16 second flight, the tank control ahead system failed. This led to an increased consumption of kerosene, and the engine of the central unit was turned off on the 1 with a previously calculated value. There were other problems. If only a little more, the first cosmic velocity could not have been achieved. ”
But history does not know the subjunctive mood, and the 4 day of October 1957 of the year will forever remain the day of the greatest triumph of our country, its scientists, engineers, workers, military and all others who, one way or another, turned out to be involved in the beginning of the space era. In fact, they include all of our people, who managed, on their shoulders, to bear the brunt of opposition to the most advanced military machine of the mid-twentieth century, to win - and immediately begin to dream about the future. And not just to dream, but to embody it.
... The satellite went into orbit with the inclination 65 ° 6 ', the height in the perigee 228 km and the maximum distance from the Earth's surface 947 km. Spending 1 minutes and 96 seconds spent on each orbit around the planet PS-10,2. At a quarter to two in the morning of October 5, 1957, the satellite passed over Moscow, and soon TASS distributed to the whole world a statement about the first successful space launch in the history of mankind.
The first satellite was in space 92 of the day, until January 4 1958. During this time, he made 1440 revolutions around the Earth, flying a total of about 60 million km. As its creators expected, the satellite’s batteries worked for the required two weeks, and all this time it was broadcasting its famous “beep-beep-beep” signal. By the way, it is interesting that the duration of the signals and the pauses between them was not constant. Since it was not possible to establish telemetry equipment on the satellite due to its small size, the Soviet specialists who monitored its flight assessed the state of the apparatus precisely by the duration of the signals and pauses. On average, it was 0,4 seconds and changed if the temperature rose above 50 ° С or fell below 0 ° С, and also if the pressure inside PS-1 fell below 0,35 atmosphere.
The first - forever!
From then until now 4 October 1957, the year remains the date of the beginning of space exploration by man. It will then go there first animals, and then people. It will later appear satellites, which will reach first to the moon, and then to Venus, Mars and other planets of the solar system. Much later, spy satellites and satellite guards will appear in near-earth orbits, the ideas of "star wars", orbital laser guns and other space weapons will be born ... And at that moment no one in the world thought about it, unknown
And this breakthrough was and will forever remain a Russian achievement. After all, the first satellite of our competitors - America - went into space only four months later, February 1 1958 of the year ... | aerospace | 1 |

This miniseries is fantastic. As a self titled space geek, I enjoyed every minute. Not only does it tell the story of how we got to the Moon, it tells about the individual astronauts and many who helped get them there. After Alan Shepard had his 15 minutes as the first American in space, JFK made it clear that we needed to get to the Moon by 1970. The mini series details every step of the way, touching on the Apollo 1 disaster, all the steps to getting to the Moon (staying in orbit, space walks, docking, etc), the development of the Lunar Modules, and the inevitable voyage of Apollo 11 that landed on the Moon. I especially enjoyed Dave Foley as Al Bean, an astronaut on Apollo 12 (the funny episode). From the Earth to the Moon also details the NASA/press relationship, astronaut training, the astronaut wives, etc. It's such details and perspective that make this stand out as an amazing miniseries. I recommend this to anyone who wants to know more about the Apollo program. Truly an amazing story of arguably the greatest technological achievement of man to date.

He started his aviation career in 1909 flying Santos-Dumont's Demoiselle monoplane, an aircraft that only flew well with a small lightweight pilot. In 1911 Garros graduated to flying Bleriot monoplanes and entered a number of European air races with this type of machine. He was already a noted aviator before World War I; by 1913 he had switched to flying Morane-Saulnier monoplanes, a vast improvement over the Bleriot, and gained fame for making the first nonstop flight across the Mediterranean Sea from Fréjus in south of France to Bizerte in Tunisia.
The following year, Garros joined the French army at the outbreak of the conflict. After several aerial missions he decided that shooting and flying at the same time was too difficult, so he fitted a machine gun to the front of his plane so the tasks became one and the same. In order to protect the propeller from the bullets, he fitted metal wedges to the prop. Starting from April 1, 1915, he soon shot down three German planes and quickly gained an excellent reputation.
On April 18, 1915, his fuel line clogged and he glided to a landing on the German side of the lines. After examining Garros's plane, German aircraft engineers designed an improved system known as the interrupter gear. Soon the tables were reversed against the Allies due to Fokker's planes shooting down nearly every enemy aircraft they met, leading to what became known as the Fokker Scourge.
Garros managed to escape from a prisoner-of-war camp in Germany in February 1918 and rejoined the French army. On October 5, 1918, he was shot down and killed near Vouziers, Ardennes, a month shy of the end of the war.
Places named after Roland Garros
In the 1920s, a tennis centre was named after the pilot, Stade de Roland Garros. The stadium accommodates the French Open, one of tennis' Grand Slam tournaments. Consequently, the tournament is officially called Roland Garros.
Peugeot Car Manufacturers (French) commissioned a 'Roland Garros' limited edition version of its 205 model in celebration of the Tennis Tournament that bears his name. The model included special paint and leather interior. Due to the success of this special edition, Peugeot later created Roland Garros editions of its 106, 206, 306 and 806 models. | aerospace | 1 |

Sometimes it is also an opportunity to become familiar with one or more pieces of military equipment, which is especially useful when it is known that the partner is conducting consultations in this field. In other words, it is a double-edged sword. The French Air and Space Force sent out an A330 MRTT Phenix refuelling aircraft, five Rafale aircraft and 130 airmen as part of the Garuda 2022 exercise. This event occurred at the Indian air base in Jodhpur from October 26 to November 12, 2022.
The exercises conducted by the pilots and aircraft of the two air forces allowed for a deeper shared understanding of their respective procedures, as was the case during the previous six iterations held alternately in India and France. The Garuda 22 exercise highlighted the performance of the MRTT, capable of refuelling the Indian Rafale, Mirage 2000, and Jaguar of Western origin, the Su-30 MKI of Russian origin, and the indigenous Tejas Mk1. During the drills, 30 aircraft took part.
Every effort was made to convince New Delhi to purchase the European tanker. One of these efforts included transporting five Rafales from France to India in a repeat of the previous deliveries of Indian Rafales. This demonstrated the effectiveness of the synergies formed by the two pieces of equipment for power projection over great distances. The Phenix is a particularly versatile aircraft. It can perform the role of an in-flight refuelling tanker with a fuel payload capacity of 110 tonnes and a cargo transporter or even a medical transporter with a capacity evacuation of 130 stretchers. Furthermore, the Phenix can combine both capabilities, ensuring in-flight fighter refuelling and technical team transportation.
The twenty-first century saw the beginning of New Delhi’s process of updating its fleet of tanker aircraft. In 2009, EADS, which would later be rebranded as Airbus, overcame the Russian IL-78s to win the initial competition. However, the competition was cancelled due to funding issues and relaunched shortly after.
Airbus made its presence known in 2013 with the A330 MRTT, but the sale was never finalised, and the competition was cancelled in 2016; this time, the restructuring of India’s defence effort that followed Narendra Modi’s election as prime minister in 2014 was the cause.
New negotiations without a tender
In 2020, a new conversation was launched in place of a formal competition in response to the Indian Air Force’s insistence on fighting concurrently in the west against Pakistan and the northeast against China. This was done instead of holding a competition to discover who could build the most advanced aeroplane. Since then, France has escalated its efforts to persuade New Delhi of the performance of European aircraft that are already in service with ten air forces and have been picked twice by the Indian Air Force (IAF) in subsequent competitions. These efforts include aiding with novel business proposals like a lease option or converting a used A330-200 into an MRTT variant to save money.
Competition from IAI and HAL
In April, Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd (HAL), the aircraft manufacturer in India’s defence sector, signed a memorandum of understanding with the Israeli Aviation Industries (IAI) to convert ‘Civil (Passenger) aircraft into Multi Mission Tanker Transport (MMTT) aircraft in India.
IAI responded to the pre-owned category of the RFI by presenting a refueler based on a converted B767-300ER commercial aircraft.
Similar to the present IAF’s No 78 Mid Air Refueling Squadron (MARS), the aircraft that IAI is anticipated to offer will feature three refuelling sites with two under-wing refuelling pods and a centerline host drum unit (HDU). In this system, each refueler may simultaneously refuel up to three aeroplanes. These aircraft can also use a single boom unit to accommodate refuelling receptacle-equipped aircraft (the standard aerial refuelling method for the US Air Force).
IAI provides its refuelling system, developed by the business over the past decade and is being utilised on multiple platforms, including the Colombian Air Force 767-2J6ER Jupiter. The Colombian tanker has successfully participated in multiple Red Flag exercises in the United States. It performed effective probe refuelling for F-18 aircraft of the Canadian Air Force and the United States Navy and Kfir C10 aircraft of the Colombian Air Force.
IAI asserts that the costs will be significantly less than a comparable alternative based on a “green” (new) aircraft with comparable performance and operating capabilities.
IAI utilises its expertise in air-to-air refuelling and cargo conversion to convert the B767 aircraft into a Multi-Mission Tanker Transport (MMTT). The aircraft is outfitted for air refuelling, cargo, VIP, passenger flights, and ISR operations.
The Airbus A330 factor
The Indian Air Force intends to convert the A330 MRTT into an AWACS aircraft. It lowers costs and guarantees the availability of Maintenance, Repair, and Operations (MRO). When the A330 entered service, the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF), which has received five MRTTs, realised that their C-17s were utilised less frequently. The availability of a multirole tanker capability could help additional missions. For example, the IAF employs two IL-76s when flying to Red Flag, whereas the same task may be accomplished with a single A330 MRTT. | aerospace | 1 |

The aircraft boasts a noise footprint 60 per cent quieter than similarly sized aircraft and will be the fourth B787 to operate out of Heathrow.
New, quieter aircraft such as the B787 have contributed towards ensuring that fewer people are affected by noise from Heathrow today than at any time since the 1970s, even though the number of flights has almost doubled.
Heathrow continues to encourage the introduction of new, quieter aircraft by charging them lower landing fees and developing infrastructure such as stands and taxiways to accommodate larger aircraft like A380s.
The airport already hosts twelve A380s – which produce half the noise of their nearest rival when taking off – and expects to have approximately thirty A380s and approximately sixty B787s by 2020.
Strict noise limits at the airport also mean that airlines generally use their quietest aircraft around 15 per cent more on Heathrow routes.
Matt Gorman, Heathrow sustainability director, explained: ‘We are delighted to welcome British Airways’ first Boeing 787 to Heathrow.
“Heathrow is at the forefront of international efforts to reduce the impact of aircraft noise and this new generation of quieter aircraft will make a significant contribution to achieving this.”
Heathrow recently published ‘A quieter Heathrow’, a report setting out Heathrow’s commitments to reducing aircraft noise while safeguarding the UK’s connectivity.
The report sets out the core areas of focus for tackling aircraft noise: quieter planes, quieter operating procedures, noise mitigation and land-use planning, operating restrictions and working with local communities.
The report also sets out a range of new commitments on noise which include publicly ranking airlines on ‘noise performance’, trialling new departure routes with NATS and proposing a significant increase in fines for airlines that break noise limits. | aerospace | 1 |

|National origin||Italy and Brazil|
|First flight||15 May 1984|
|Primary users||Italian Air Force
Brazilian Air Force
|Number built||~ 200|
The AMX International AMX is a ground-attack aircraft for battlefield interdiction, close air support and reconnaissance missions. It was built until 1999 by AMX International, an Italian-Brazilian joint venture. The AMX is designated A-1 by the Brazilian Air Force, and A-11 Ghibli by the Italian Air Force.
The AMX is capable of operating at high subsonic speed and low altitude, by day or night, and if necessary, from bases with poorly equipped or damaged runways. Low IR signature and reduced radar equivalent cross-section help prevent detection, while low vulnerability of structure and systems aid survivability, while integrated ECM, air-to-air missiles and nose-mounted guns provide self-defence capabilities.
Development and design
In 1977, the Italian Air Force issued a requirement for a strike fighter to replace its Aeritalia G.91 and some of its F-104 Starfighters. Rather than competing for the contract, Aeritalia (now Alenia Aeronautica) and Aermacchi agreed to make a joint proposal, as both firms had been considering the development of a similar class of aircraft for some years. Aermacchi, for example, had worked on a design study for a light ground attack aircraft, designated MB-340, in the early 1970s. Development work began in April 1978. In July 1981, the Italian and Brazilian governments agreed on joint requirements for the aircraft, and Embraer was invited to join the partnership. Planned requirements were 187 aircraft for Italy and 100 for Brazil.
The resultant design is a shoulder-winged monoplane, constructed mainly of aluminium, but with carbon fibre fin and elevators. The wing is fitted with both leading edge slats and trailing edge flaps and overwing spoilers ahead of the flaps. These are used to both improve take-off and landing performance and manoeuvrability. A hybrid flight control system is fitted, with spoilers, rudder and variable incidence tailplane operated by a fly-by-wire system, while the ailerons and elevators are operated hydraulically. Manual reversion is provided for the ailerons, elevator and rudder to allow the aircraft to be flown even in the event of complete hydraulic failure.
A Rolls-Royce Spey turbofan was chosen to power the new aircraft. While this was heavier and less modern than some of the alternatives, it was considered to be reliable, relatively cheap and was free of the export restrictions that would be imposed for American engines. Four underwing and one centreline hardpoint carry air-to-ground munitions, including bombs, missiles and rockets, and drop tanks, while wingtip rails are provided for infra-red guided air-to-air missiles such as the AIM-9 Sidewinder and MAA-1 Piranha. Italian aircraft are fitted with a M61 Vulcan 20 mm rotary cannon on the port side of the lower fuselage. As the United States did not permit the sale of the M61 to Brazil, its AMXs are instead fitted with two 30 mm DEFA 554 revolver cannons.
The first prototype flew on 15 May 1984. Although it was lost on its fifth flight (killing its pilot), the test programme, which used seven aircraft, progressed reasonably smoothly otherwise. Deliveries to Italy started in 1988, with the first examples delivered to the Brazilian Air Force in 1989. Since then, some 200 AMXs have been built.
The first operational squadron of the Italian air force, the 103° Gruppo of 51° Stormo formed in November 1989, with the first Italian unit also forming in 1989. Both the Italian and Brazilan AMX fleets were grounded in February 1992, following the crash of an Italian AMX due to engine failure. Operations were allowed to restart in May that year, following modification of the engines.
Italy assigned six AMXs from 103° Gruppo to operations over Bosnia in 1995 as part of Operation Deny Flight, which was followed by a similar deployment in support of the IFOR peacekeepers in Bosnia. This deployment was interrupted by another grounding, again due to engine failure, between January and March 1996. Italian AMX aircraft were used in 1999 in the Kosovo war. Instead of using unguided or more traditional laser-guided bombs, the Italian Air Force used dozens of Mk 82 bombs fitted with Opher Israeli guidance kits, effectively converting the "dumb" bombs into an infrared-guided bomb.
In the late 1990s, AMX International was considering a major engine refit, a non-afterburning variant of the Eurojet EJ200 was proposed, having considerably more thrust than the existing powerplant. In 2005, the Italian Air Force launched an upgrade programme (ACOL Aggionamento Capacità Operative e Logistiche – Operational and Logistical Capability Upgrade) for 55 of its AMXs, adding a new laser INS, new cockpit displays and allowing the aircraft to drop Joint Direct Attack Munition guided bombs. In August 2007, Embraer began a major midlife upgrade programme and modernisation of 53 Brazilian Air Force AMX A-1s, focusing on avionics systems and new armament additions; the programme is estimated to have extended the lifespan of the fleet beyond 2027.
Since Autumn 2009, four Italian AMX are located in Afghanistan, replacing the same number of Italian Tornado IDS in the recce role. Of particular note is the aircraft's ability to share digital electro-optical and infrared sensor information with ground troops in real time, providing valuable reconnaissance information and helping to minimise threat exposure; by the end of 2010 over 700 combat missions had been flown in the Afghan theatre.
In 2011, Italian AMX aircraft were employed during the 2011 military intervention in Libya. Italian military aircraft deployed 710 guided bombs and missiles during sorties: Italian Air Force Tornados and AMX fighter bombers deployed 550 bombs and missiles, while Navy AV-8Bs deployed 160 guided bombs. AMX aircraft for the first time used Litening III targeting pods paired with Paveway and JDAM guided bombs.
As of March 2012, the Philippines is in negotiations with Italy for the possible procurement of used AMX aircraft, although no official information has been released. Jane's also reported that the AMX is being considered for the PAF's Lead-in Fighter Trainer (LIFT) / Surface Attack Aircraft (SAA) project.
In 1986, development of a two-seat advanced trainer variant was undertaken. This was intended to provide trainee pilots with experience on fast jets, while still retaining the single-seater's attack capabilities. The AMX-T first flew in 1990 and equips both the Italian and Brazilian air forces.
The AMX Advanced Trainer Attack (AMX-ATA) is a new AMX two-seater multi-mission attack fighter developed for combat roles and advanced training. The AMX-ATA incorporates new sensors, a forward-looking infrared helmet-mounted display, a new multi-mode radar for air-to-air and air-to-surface capability, and new weapons systems including anti-ship missiles and medium-range missiles. The Venezuelan Air Force ordered eight AMX-ATA in 1999 for the advanced trainer and attack aircraft role, but the U.S. Congress vetoed the sale because the aircraft systems include U.S. technology.

However, now according to the latest reports, the well-known Successful company of Elon Musk, of course, SpaceX will be ready to transport humans in 2019.
SpaceX Will Be Ready To Transport Humans In 2019
SpaceX, a private space company created by Elon Musk which has been hugely successful. In February of this year, it launched the Falcon Heavy rocket, an event that had great significance and the whole world saw it. Transporting humans to Space has always been a major goal of SpaceX and this goal should be met in 2019.
NASA wants to stop counting on the Russians
Since 2011, the year in which the Space Shuttle flew for the last time, the American astronauts use Russian space vehicles to reach the International Space Station (ISS). But NASA wants to change that and SpaceX is one of the companies that will help.
In 2014, the United States government paid SpaceX $2.6 billion for a vehicle that could carry astronauts into orbit. The same agreement was made with Boeing but worth $4.2 billion.
Since then, the launch dates for both projects have been postponed. However, we now have dates that are apparently definitive.
SpaceX will be ready by 2019
This Thursday, NASA announced that SpaceX’s Dragon capsule, created for the transportation of humans, will be ready in 2019. First, in November 2019, a test will be conducted without humans aboard and passed about 5 months, a similar test mission will be held but will be attended by astronauts.
The Boeing CST-100 capsule will also perform similar tests. According to NASA are expected to be made at the end of 2019 or early 2019 and in the middle of 2019. If the manned tests are successfully performed, each of the capsules will undergo a NASA certification.
But there is a small problem
In July of this year, a report was released by a US agency responsible for overseeing state spending, which provides that SpaceX will complete the certification process only in February 2020.
However, US astronauts use the Russian Soyuz capsule to reach the ISS and the contract ends in November 2019. Unless the whole process moves faster, NASA will have to find a solution to transport its astronauts to the SpaceX and Boeing capsules.

Orlando, Fla. (Vocus) October 5, 2008
Hawker Beechcraft Corporation (HBC) today announced the launch of its newest light business jet -- the Hawker 450XP. Building from the world's most successful fractional aircraft, the Hawker 400XP, the new Hawker 450XP will receive the most comprehensive product upgrade in light jet history. The four key areas of upgrades include:
- All new engines that deliver 10 percent better fuel economy -- the perfect antidote to today's rising fuel costs
- The world's most advanced infotainment system via the new Rockwell Collins Venue™ integrated Cabin Management System
- New more luxurious interior -- based on the interior of the 900XP, it's the most comfortable, most elegant and best equipped cabin ever offered in a light jet
- All new avionics -- Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21™ integrated avionics elevates the pilots' awareness, knowledge and capabilities
"We have listened to our customers and are extremely proud to produce an aircraft that improves on what is already the world's best in fractional aircraft," said Jim Schuster, Hawker Beechcraft chairman and CEO. "We've taken what makes the Hawker 400XP a tremendous success and built upon it with more efficient engines, new interior and the most up-to-date avionics -- providing the best light jet value for our customers worldwide. The Hawker 450XP's improvements ensure that it will continue to lead this dynamic market segment in safety, performance and popularity."
Created in direct response to requests from HBC's loyal customers, the class-leading Hawker 450XP boasts longer range, faster climbs, lower operating costs, improved high and hot field performance and enhanced technology over its predecessor Hawker 400XP. Highlighting the largest cabin and largest cockpit when compared to its closest straight wing jet competitor, the Hawker 450XP will offer a standard eight-place, center-club seating arrangement with a private lavatory. The light jet provides an impressive combination of comfort, speed and technology, designed for the most productive business travel.
Delivering unprecedented performance and efficiency, the Hawker 450XP will feature all-new Pratt & Whitney Canada PW535D turbofan engines, providing 10 percent better fuel efficiency. The PW535D engine is equipped with a full authority digital engine control (FADEC) and comes with a 5,000-hour Time Between Overhaul (TBO). Each engine provides 2,965 pounds of thrust, flat rated to ISA+20°C, which is eight degrees higher and 1,400 hours longer than the 400XP's JT15D-5R engines.
The Hawker 450XP also boasts a long range cruise speed improvement from the Hawker 400XP's 414 knots (476 mph) to 421 knots (486 mph). The maximum take-off weight (MTOW) will increase from the 16,300 pound limit found on the Hawker 400XP to 16,650 pounds, allowing operators to carry an additional 350 pounds of fuel at maximum payload.
The Hawker 450XP's increased efficiency translates into better range and payload performance under all aircraft loading and airfield combinations. For example, on a standard sea-level day the Hawker 450XP with four passengers provides a range of more than 1,600 nautical miles with NBAA IFR reserves (with a 100 nautical mile alternate) -- nearly a nine percent improvement over the 400XP. Under high and hot conditions, the range and payload improvement becomes even greater as the benefits of the higher flat rated engines are realized. Departing a 5,000 foot elevation airport at 25°C (77°F), the 450XP will yield a four passenger range of more than 1,600 nautical miles or a 24 percent improvement over the 400XP. Climb performance also improves, with the time needed to reach FL370 minimized from 18 to 14 minutes, ensuring more efficient Air Traffic Control (ATC) operations and direct routing, saving business travelers time and money.
Luxurious All-New Interior & Sophisticated Cabin Management System
Extending from the Hawker 400XP's reputation as the largest cabin of any comparable aircraft, the Hawker 450XP introduces a fresh, new Hawker interior, modeled after the Hawker 900XP's sophisticated quality and styling. Among the cabin's many upgrades are totally redesigned cabin seats with waterfall headrests, refinished cabin sidewalls and ceiling in softer and more luxurious leathers and fabrics, enhanced LED downwash lighting and optional seat warmers to provide the most-comfortable, most-elegant and best-equipped cabin ever offered in a light jet. The superior cabin offers a variety of features that are usually extra-cost options on competitive aircraft, like dual-zone climate control for optimum passenger comfort and a fully berthable center-club seating. A newly designed refreshment center maximizes space with hot/cold liquid and ice storage.
The new Rockwell Collins Venue™ high-definition cabin management and infotainment system will also be incorporated into the Hawker 450XP, allowing individual passengers to utilize their personal electronic device of choice to catch up on work or enjoy a customized in-flight entertainment system. The package has the capability to deliver a high-definition, home-theater audio and video experience from CDs, MP3s and XM Satellite Radio. The system also has individual power outlets and USB connectors that connect to a laptop, iPod®, iPhone® or nearly any piece of technology brought on board. A 10-inch, swing-out individual high-definition monitor in the club seating area and aft side of the forward cabinet are also available.
New Advanced Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 Flight Deck
The Hawker 450's cabin won't be the only area to offer the latest in technology and functionality. The totally upgraded flight deck will also deliver an advanced level of enhanced safety and performance with the fully-integrated Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21™ avionics suite, the same system found in the larger Hawker business jets. The fully digital Pro Line 21 system elevates pilots' awareness, knowledge and capabilities to a higher level, featuring three 8-by-10 inch large-format active matrix liquid-crystal displays as well as digital radio and audio systems.
The Pro Line 21 standard avionics installation in the Hawker 450XP will also incorporate dual Flight Management Systems (FMS) and Wide-Area Augmentation System (WAAS)-enabled receiver that enable Localizer Performance with Vertical Guidance (LPV) approaches, solid state weather radar and Rockwell Collins patented Chart Link™ automated chart selection system to greatly reduce pilot workload. An Integrated Flight Information System (IFIS) will offer pilots a wide range of tools to enhance flight safety and pilot situational awareness, including map overlays (airways, airspace, geopolitical) and Electronic Jeppesen charts. In addition to these standard systems, IFIS options include U.S. or worldwide graphical weather.
First flight of the aircraft is scheduled for Q2 2009 with FAA Certification planned for Q2 2010. European Aviation Safety Authority (EASA) certification is expected in Q3 2010.

For the company bearing the name, see Gyrodyne Company of America. For the aircraft, see Fairey FB-1 Gyrodyne. For the gyroscopic device used to provide attitude control on space stations, see Control moment gyroscope.
A gyrodyne is a type of VTOL aircraft with a helicopter rotor-like system that is driven by its engine for takeoff and landing and also includes one or more conventional propellers to provide forward thrust during cruising flight. Lift during forward flight is provided by a combination of the rotor, like an autogyro, as well as conventional wings. Due to a number of issues, there is some confusion over the term "gyrodyne", and the terms compound helicopter and compound gyroplane are frequently used to describe the same design. The gyrodyne is one of a number of similar concepts which attempt to provide helicopter-like low-speed performance and conventional fixed-wing high-speeds, including tiltrotors and tiltwings.
In response to a Royal Navy request for a helicopter, Dr. James Allan Jamieson Bennett designed the gyrodyne whilst serving as the chief engineer of the Cierva Autogiro Company. The gyrodyne was envisioned as an intermediate type of rotorcraft, its rotor operating parallel to the flightpath to minimize axial flow with one or more propellers providing propulsion. Bennett's patent covered a variety of designs, which has led to some of the terminology confusion – other issues including the trademarked Gyrodyne Company of America and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) classification of rotorcraft.
In recent years, a related concept has been promoted under the name heliplane. Originally used to market gyroplanes built by two different companies, the term has been adopted to describe a Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) program to develop advances in rotorcraft technology with the goal of overcoming the current limitations of helicopters in both speed and payload | aerospace | 1 |

Design of the Premier I began early in 1994 under the designation PD-374 (PD for Preliminary Design), and development was authorized to continue early the following year. The aircraft was officially launched at the annual National Business Aviation Association Convention in September 1995 and construction of the first prototype commenced late in 1996. The Premier I prototype was "rolled out" on 19 August 1998 and its first flight was on 22 December 1998; four prototypes were used in the flight test program and its FAA Type Certificate was issued on 23 March 2001. On 22 September 2005, the upgraded Premier IA was certified.
The Premier I is constructed with a high-strength composite carbon fiber/epoxy honeycomb fuselage. The Premier I and IA can be certified as light aircraft for operation by a single pilot. The powerplants are Williams International FJ44-2A engines. Though traditionally add-on aircraft focused on medium size to heavy jets, this is a most welcome addition to anyone’s hangar.
Business jets have long been pushed to the back burner in the flight simulator world and it’s good to see that we have an addition that is somewhat very modern. Eaglesoft has been creating business type aircraft for quite sometime and I can only hope that they continue in this trend with a view to releasing high quality add-on aircraft.
Here are some general specifications of the Premier 1 aircraft
speed: 519 mph (451 knots, 835 km/h, Mach 0.80) at FL 330
Now that we have been introduced to the Raytheon Premier 1, let’s get better acquainted.
Installation and Documentation
Installation of this aircraft was very simple, the entire process is automated. Provided you follow all of the on screen prompts and instructions, you should have no issues whatsoever. Virtual pilots who are familiar with this aircraft from FS2002, will notice that Eaglesoft has added some new liveries to this package.
Documentation is “ok”. It is direct and to the point and this may or may not be pleasing to some of you simmers who prefer very detailed documentation and explanation of systems. The documentation consists of a checklist/reference manual, cockpit layout manual and an update document. The blending of the checklist and reference speeds may be a bit different from what we are use to, but it would have also been nice to have references pertaining to weight.
How does it look?
The exterior model was created quite accurately. The Premier 1 has a unique look and Eaglesoft did a great job capturing it virtually. Textures used on the 9 liveries are also of a high quality and add to the detail of this product. Some areas which could have gotten more attention are the landing gear and some of the edges of the model itself don’t seem to be very smooth. The landing gear were a bit disappointing due to the fact that the struts do not compress when the brakes are applied, the aircraft just bobs up and down.
Moving on to the interior of the aircraft, again the cabin is very detailed with good quality textures. Some of the things one may notice are the wine bottle, newspaper and formal suit within the cabin. The night lighting of the cabin was also done very well and makes the cabin come alive and adding to that business jet feel, setting a very relaxed environment.
Moving into the virtual cockpit, the developers certainly did make a good attempt at replicating the real Premier 1 cockpit. The detail is ever present but not many flight commands are accessible from the virtual cockpit and quality is somewhat questionable. As with the cabin, at night, the cockpit is well lit and no one should have any trouble viewing the main panel.
The quality of the main panel was slightly disappointing. It looks like a photo real backdrop and doesn’t have that 3D feel to it, sad to say it’s more on the level of a panel anyone can easily download from any flightsim add-on website. A lot of the labeling is very hard to read and without the cockpit layout manual, some users may take some time memorizing which button does what.
The FMS is not fully functional and in this day and age, it’s a bit disappointing. Nonetheless, the layout of the panel was done accurately and gives a just representation of the real thing. Systems wise, the team at Eaglesoft did a good job in modeling the avionics on the Premier 1, its not 100% but you can fly safely from point A to B.
On the overhead panel, the labeling of switches are a bit clearer but one may have expected a little more functionality. Apart from limited functionality and somewhat low quality textures, the panel is pleasing and after getting familiar with all the functions, users should have no trouble at all flying this bird. Keep in mind that this is a model originally created for FS2002 that is back by popular demand.
After contacting the developers, I was told that upgrades at this time will not be forthcoming due to source file issues.
The sound of the Williams International FJ44-2A engines are quite nice. I tried referencing them from video clips of the Premier 1 online, but none of the clips were clear enough. The developers did a fine job in compiling this sound set, creating a clearly distinct business jet sound. For those of you who are looking forward to hearing the reverse thrust, I am sorry to say the Premier 1 doesn’t have reverse thrust (more on this later).
How does she handle?
I guess this is the part everyone wants to know about and perhaps the aspect of any aircraft all users are interested in. After starting the engines and taxiing to the active, one will easily notice that this aircraft does not require large amounts of thrust to get rolling. Also, try to avoid high speed turns as the aircraft will get a bit difficult to control.
When applying takeoff thrust, the Premier 1 shoots off like a rocket and takes off with ease. Hand flying this aircraft can be challenging though, it tends to feel a bit unstable at slow speeds and making last minute corrections on final approach can be tricky. Turning is one aspect that can be improved as the controls neutralize far too quickly after a turn is started. Perhaps these are some of the real characteristic of the real aircraft but to be fair, the developers did a good job in creating an FDE was is very unique and it doesn’t feel like your flying a really fast Cessna.
On landing, users better get use to not having reverse thrust because this aircraft relies heavily on anti-skid braking and lift dumping functions. This means users better brush up on their short field landings. How well is the braking? Well, don’t be too hasty to apply the brakes on landing because they seem to be sharp and the nose of the aircraft dips sharply downward. This in itself isn’t too much of a problem but viewing this from the outside, one will notice that the struts on the nose gear does not compress.
With all of these issues, I contacted the developers and I was then given a fix for more stability. Did this help? Yes it did, the aircraft flies a lot better and turns are not as difficult but it still needs some tweaking. Overall this aircraft’s handling can be summed up as unique, especially on the approaches; it’s quite a balancing act that some may find fun and challenging with or without the fix provided.
Summary / Closing Remarks
Overall, the Premier 1 from Eaglesoft is a lovely aircraft and a great addition to your virtual hangar. There aren’t many developers out there who produce high quality business jets, but Eaglesoft did a good job on this one.
Considering this is a back by popular demand aircraft means that many other simmers have taken a liking to this aircraft and though not many changes have been made, it is still enjoyable. One area that proved to be disappointing was the panel, which could have been improved with better quality and functionality. Another area was the nose struts (main gear too) and the somewhat unstable handling on approach, however with the fix provided for the roll stability, the handling improved.
Even though it’s not a full systems simulation of the real aircraft, this spunky business jet is worth the cost, even more so if the developers continue to make upgrades and improvements. For less than $30 you get both the FS9/FSX version which is quite a bargain, so hats off to Eaglesoft. Keep those business jets coming.

By Senior Master Sgt. Eric Peterson, 120th Airlift Wing
/ Published November 02, 2016
GREAT FALLS, Mont. -- 120th Airlift Wing Commander Col. Lee Smith held his third in a series of "lunch and learn" events in the wing's dining facility during the regularly scheduled drill October 2.
The topic of his lunchtime talk was on the recently released two-year 120 AW Strategic Plan which outlines the wing's mission, vision, priorities, goals and objectives.
The 18-page bound and illustrated plan includes graphics, charts and photographs and addresses three identified wing priorities: succeed in our mission; develop Airmen to their maximum potential; and improve organizational excellence.
"So those (priorities) all feed to our mission and vision," Col. Smith said. "And then providing the foundation for our strategic plan are the four major graded areas of the Air Force Inspection System: executing the mission; improving the units; managing resources; and leading people."
Col. Smith said that everything that is done at the wing level is interrelated and affects everything we do.
"When you see this strategic plan you'll get an idea of not only what the wing is doing and how we're doing it, but most importantly the why we are doing it," Col. Smith said. "Everything we are doing is in pursuit of our goals and objectives."
Addressing the number one priority, Col. Smith said to succeed in our mission the wing must answer the calls of our nation and our state, anytime or anywhere.
"We can't focus entirely on getting ready for the AEF deployments because we always have the domestic ops mission set that we have to fill," Col. Smith said. "So we try to balance our focus on our mission sets, meeting all state and federal taskings."
Col. Smith said combining training with feedback is an important element to the second wing priority, developing Airmen to their maximum potential. He said most of the wing's tracked objectives are focused on this priority.
"I definitely believe from a leadership perspective, focusing on Airmen is 90 percent of the job," Col Smith said. "That's where a lot of our attention is on a day-to-day basis."
Col. Smith said the last wing priority, improving organization excellence, is a continual process improvement and focuses on improvements in execution, training, overall performance and improving as individuals.
"No matter how well we've done in the past-we've been very successful in the past-we always have to be better than what we were," Col. Smith said. "As each one individual Airman improves, so does the organization."
Col. Smith said the strategic plan is a living document and the results will be measured and reviewed on a quarterly basis by the wing's senior leaders.
120th AW members are encouraged to review the complete 120AW Strategic Plan. Copies of the plan are available upon request from squadron first sergeants. | aerospace | 1 |

Projected pilot demand is increasing worldwide, as is demand for technicians in some regions, the firm said.
As the company marked the launch of 787 flight training at the Boeing Flight Services campus in Miami it released the 2013 Pilot and Technician Outlook — a respected industry forecast of aviation personnel.
According to Boeing´s report, by 2032 the world will require 498,000 new commercial airline pilots and 556,000 new commercial airline maintenance technicians.
The 2013 outlook projects significant increases in pilot demand — compared to previous forecasts — in all regions except Europe, which declined slightly over last year´s outlook. Overall, the demand is driven by steadily increasing airplane deliveries, particularly single-aisle airplanes, and represents a global requirement for about 25,000 new pilots annually.
Global demand for technicians remains significant, at approximately 28,000 new technicians required annually. However, the introduction of more efficient and smarter airplanes will require fewer mechanics over time, as aging aircraft–which typically require more maintenance–are retired from service.
New airplane technologies featuring more advanced components are likely to lead in some areas to lower maintenance requirements and corresponding lower technician demand, Boeing said.

The Bristol Siddeley BS.605 is a retractable take off assist rocket engine burning hydrogen peroxide and kerosene. Its design was based on the smaller chamber of Armstrong Siddeley's Stentor engine.
A pair were fitted to the Buccaneer S.50s of the South African Air Force for hot and high operations.
The BS.605 was also considered for the Bluebird CMN-8, a design for a supersonic land speed record car, to be driven by Donald Campbell.

In a meeting today with FAA Administrator Michael Huerta, the Montana Senators called on Huerta to reevaluate the Air Force’s plan in light of increased economic activity and air traffic in southeastern Montana.
The Senators also urged Huerta to strongly consider removing the controversial PR-3 Low segment of the PRTC and further provide the area with the necessary radar capabilities to better ensure general aviation safety.
“The Air Force’s plan fails to take into account current and future needs of southeastern Montana, which has recently experienced a growth in air traffic and greater economic activity,” Daines stated. “It is imperative that the FAA takes concrete steps to address Montanans’ concerns and ensure that much-needed safety measures are in place to protect local pilots and area residents.”
“The FAA must listen to folks on the ground in Montana. I have. And I’ve heard time and time again that the proposed airspace expansion will put general aviation pilots at risk and jeopardize the safety of resident in the area,” Tester said. “It’s my hope that the FAA gives this expansion thoughtful consideration.”
The Senators also stressed that the increased economic activity and oil production in southeastern Montana is not adequately reflected in the Air Force proposal.
Over the past several years, aerial monitoring of area pipelines has increased from 500 flight hours in 2013 to more than 2500 flight hours projected for 2015. Additionally, the intended route of the Keystone XL pipeline, which contains an “on ramp” for oil in Baker, runs directly through the PR-3 training region and would require additional aerial inspections.
Last week, the Senators and Representative Ryan Zinke sent Huerta a letter to reiterate that Montanans’ input and concerns had not been sufficiently considered in the final Air Force Record of Decision on the proposed expansion. The delegation’s letter is available HERE. | aerospace | 1 |
