SYRACUSE, N.Y. | The commander of the Air National Guard unit that operates remotely piloted drones from its central New York base is holding a news conference to discuss the expansion of the airspace in which it operates.
Col. Greg Semmel of the Air National Guard's 174th Attack Wing will talk to the media late Monday morning at Hancock Field Air National Guard Base in Syracuse.
National Guard officials say the Federal Aviation Administration has authorized the wing to operate MQ-9 Reapers in airspace south of Fort Drum in the Syracuse region.
The 174th switched three years ago from flying F-16 fighter jets to operating unmanned aircraft from Hancock Field. The drones operated from the Syracuse base support military operations in Afghanistan.
The unit conducts training exercises at Fort Drum, located 70 miles north of Syracuse. | aerospace | 1 |

This picture of a crescent-shaped Earth and Moon — the first of its kind ever taken by a spacecraft — was recorded Sept. 18, 1977, by NASA’s Voyager 1 when it was 7.25 million miles (11.66 million kilometers) from Earth.
This photo was made from three images taken through color filters, then processed at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Because the Earth is many times brighter than the moon, the moon was artificially brightened so that both bodies would show clearly in the prints.
The blue marble is probably the most famous photograph of Earth ever made. It’s appeared absolutely everywhere and it’s been used to promote every cause under the Sun. It was taken by the crew of Apollo 17—the last manned mission to the Moon—around five hours after launch on December 7, 1972. The photo originally showed Antarctica at the top, but was rotated before release. The original caption reads:
View of the Earth as seen by the Apollo 17 crew traveling toward the moon. This translunar coast photograph extends from the Mediterranean Sea area to the Antarctica south polar ice cap. This is the first time the Apollo trajectory made it possible to photograph the south polar ice cap. Note the heavy cloud cover in the Southern Hemisphere. Almost the entire coastline of Africa is clearly visible. The Arabian Peninsula can be seen at the northeastern edge of Africa. The large island off the coast of Africa is Madagascar. The Asian mainland is on the horizon toward the northeast.
NASA credits the entire Apollo 17 crew— Eugene Cernan, Ronald Evans and Harrison Schmitt—with the picture, although it’s commonly believed that Schmitt took the picture. It was taken handheld with a space Hasselblad, on 70mm Ektachrome 64 ISO film. NASA’s official designation for the picture is AS17-148-22727, and there exists an AS17-148-22726 that’s almost identical.
Harrison “Jack” Schmitt was a geologist, and he wasn’t even supposed to be part of the mission—until it became clear that Apollo 17 would be the last manned mission to the Moon, and NASA wanted a scientist-astronaut on the mission. | aerospace | 1 |

This is a video that a lot of Spaniards saw today.
I really do hope Obama wins.
oh and the Airforce said at the beggining of the month that Palin has never monitored Norad and therefore zero AF experience.
AF Says Palin Has No Air Defense Role
October 02, 2008
United Press International
WASHINGTON -- The Air Force says Sarah Palin and past Alaska governors have never had any direct authority over NORAD, the radar system that watches for air attacks.
The Air Force's statement came in response to a New York Daily News inquiry following a television interview with CBS in which Palin said that Alaska was a hot spot for the monitoring of nearby Russia. The paper reported that Palin said Alaska's proximity to Russia was part of her foreign-policy portfolio.
"It's very important when you consider even national security issues with Russia, as Putin rears his head and comes into the airspace of the United States of America -- where do they go? It's Alaska," Palin told CBS.
"It is from Alaska that we send those (patrols) out to make sure that an eye is being kept on this very powerful nation," she added.
Maj. Allen Herritage, a spokesman for the Alaska North American Aerospace Defense Command, said: "The authority to launch and respond to a Russian incursion lies with the Alaska NORAD Region commander."
The Air Force also noted that Alaska Air National Guard patrol flights along the frontier are under Air Force command.

Although we probably use the GPS technology so frequently that we take a few facts for granted about how the technology has become a part of our daily lives, and we can’t think of how life would be without it.
- The GPS technology is still owned by the military. The GPS technology was created in the early 1970s for military use. They built the system and launched the satellites into orbit. It wasn’t until the 1980s did the military allow civilians to use the GPS technology. The United States military operates and controls the GPS system so whenever they feel it would be a threat to national security they can pull the plug anytime so civilians won’t be able to use the technology. They can limit the use of the GPS technology for civilians or even selectively limit it to certain groups through encryption.
- A total of 24 satellites make up GPS. Over the years a total of 24 satellites have been launched into orbit to give GPS receivers accurate signals. It wasn’t until 1994 did the military have the complete number of satellites in orbit. The satellite can last for about ten years and is replaced with another one. They are powered by solar energy but are equipped with batteries which are only activated during a solar eclipse. If a satellite veers for its path or course, built in thrusters can position the satellite to the correct coordinates. The GPS device determines the user’s precise location by calculating the time a signal is sent from the satellite to the receiver, with a couple more signals from other satellites a user’s location can be determined and displayed on the GPS device. The process takes less than a second to accomplish.
- Many uses for the GPS system. There are dozens of uses for the GPS system and we can find them in most of our digital devices already. The GPS system is helping people who are visually impaired so they can move around on their own. It enables them to go to more places than before the technology was introduced. The GPS device is equipped with an electronic voice that can guide them to get from one point to another. The technology is even used in golf to measure distance on a golf course to help determine which type of club to use or help golfers find a lost golf ball.
The GPS technology is so much a part of our daily lives now and just knowing some facts can help appreciate the system more and maximize its use. | aerospace | 1 |

On November 12, 2001, American Airlines flight 587, an Airbus A300-605R, took off from John F. Kennedy International Airport, New York. Flight 587 was a scheduled passenger flight to Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, with a crew of 9 and 251 passengers aboard the airplane. Shortly after take-off the airplane lost its tail, the engines subsequently separated in flight and the airplane crashed into a residential area of Belle Harbor, New York. All 260 people aboard the airplane and 5 people on the ground were killed, and the airplane was destroyed by impact forces and a post crash fire. | aerospace | 1 |

This was no mean feat, as given their size they presented the conservation team with quite a challenge.
The aircraft to be cleaned was the Avro Vulcan B.2A, the De Havilland Comet 4C, and the “Lothian Region” BAC111-510ED. Each of the aircraft had interesting and significant working lives before arriving at the Museum of Flight, and so it is important to keep them in good condition.
The Vulcan was the world’s first delta winged bomber when it first flew in 1952. Our Vulcan made the headlines when, due to a fractured in-flight refuelling probe, the Vulcan diverted to Rio de Janeiro. After seven days internment the aircraft and crew were released. On the nose can be seen two mission markings and a Brazilian flag commemorating her unscheduled stopover.
The Comet was the first jet powered passenger airliner, the prototype first flying in July 1949. Our Comet was the last Comet to fly in commercial colours when she flew from Lasham, Hampshire to East Fortune in September 1981.
The BAC111 was a British short-range jet airliner of the 1960s and 1970s, and was one of the most successful British airliner designs, serving until a widespread retirement in the 1990s. Our “Lothian Region” BAC111 was used for the shuttle service between Edinburgh and London
Luckily the week the team assembled on site was dry and fairly sunny, which made the cleaning much easier. Splitting into smaller teams, and with the help of volunteers, we used hoses, a power washer, mops, brushes and aviation detergent to remove the build-up of dirt, lichen and moss from the aircraft, using lifting equipment to access the higher areas. The final areas of cleaning will be carried out later in the year.
With the conservation cleaning almost complete, it is clear to see that the aircraft has greatly benefited from the work, and they can now be seen gleaming in the sunshine once again. | aerospace | 1 |

In a post on Instagram today (Aug. 23), Musk revealed an image of a person sitting in what looks like a spacecraft cabin, wearing a bright white-and-silver spacesuit. Musk said that the suits have already been tested in "double vacuum pressure," (a spacesuit must maintain Earth-like pressure in the astronauts body, despite the lack of atmospheric pressure in the vacuum of space), although these suits are likely not intended to be worn outside the spacecraft. He also noted that it was "incredibly hard" to balance aesthetics and function.
Along with Boeing, SpaceX is poised to become one of the first private companies to send humans into space. Both companies won contracts with NASA to launch humans to the International Space Station. Crewed test flights are scheduled for 2018, with flights to the station scheduled for sometime in 2019. However, at least one report suggests it is very possible there will be additional delays. SpaceX has also announced it plans to send two private citizens on a trip around the moon.
Earlier this year, Boeing revealed its new "Boeing Blue" astronaut spacesuits. The blue-and-gray suits are lighter than shuttle-era flight suits, according to the company, and include things like touch-screen sensitive gloves and soft helmets that are attached to the body of the suit. Boeing is scheduled to become the first private company to fly humans into space. | aerospace | 1 |

A guidance, navigation, and control (GN&C) module is being designed and fabricated as part of a series of CubeSats being built by the Satellite Design Laboratory at the University of Texas. A spacecraft attitude control simulation environment called StarBox was created in order to perform trade studies and conduct performance analysis for the GN&C module. Navigation and control algorithms were tested using StarBox and then implemented onto an embedded flight computer. These algorithms were then tested in a hardware-in-the-loop simulation. In addition, the feasibility of utilizing advanced constrained attitude control algorithms was investigated by focusing on implementation in flight software. A mechanical and electrical design for the GN&C module was completed. A prototype system was set up on a bench-top for integrated testing. The analysis indicates that the system will satisfy the requirements of several CubeSat missions, including the current missions at the University of Texas known as Bevo2 and ARMADILLO. | aerospace | 1 |

Canada Funds Technology for Space Exploration
The Canadian Space Agency (CSA) has a long-standing tradition of innovation and technological development in space. Who can forget the Shuttle Remote Manipulator System (SRMS), more familiarly known as the “Canadarm“, which was essential to the Space Shuttle program? How about its successor, the Canadarm2, which is a crucial part of the International Space Station and even helped assemble it?
Looking to the future, the CSA intends to play a similar role in humanity’s return to the Moon – which includes the creation of the Lunar Gateway and Project Artemis. To this end, the CSA recently awarded a series of contracts with private businesses and one university to foster the development of technologies that would assist with national and international efforts to explore the Moon.
Specifically, the CSA has awarded 7 contracts worth a total of $4.36 million to 5 companies and one university to produce concepts that will advance Canada’s efforts to conduct landings and science operations on the surface of the Moon. The specified concepts include nano-rovers, micro-rovers, and autonomous science instruments.
Funding for these projects was made through the CSA‘s Lunar Exploration Accelerator Program (LEAP), which is tasked with preparing Canada’s space sector for the coming decade of lunar exploration. To this end, LEAP has earmarked a total of $150 million that will be distributed over the next five years to stimulate innovation in the fields of artificial intelligence, robotics, health, and other associated technologies.
As the Honourable Navdeep Bains – the Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry – remarked:
“Our Government is positioning Canada’s space sector to reach for the Moon and beyond. This investment will help Canadian businesses bring their technologies to market, creating opportunities for them to join the growing space economy while supporting Canada to achieve world firsts in space science and exploration.”
Of the contracts and funding that have been awarded so far, the largest share was secured by the Canadensys Aerospace Corporation, located in Caledon, Ontario. This company, which specializes in space systems and services, will receive two contracts worth a total of $1,099,366 for the sake of designing and developing technologies and prototypes for two different classes of small lunar science rovers (the nano- and micro-rover).
Another Ontario-based company that was awarded a contract is Bubble Technology Industries Inc, which specializes in radiation-related applications. In exchange for the $698,321 they will receive, Bubble will develop a spectrometer that can search for hydrogen autonomously, thus allowing future missions to detect the presence of water and ice near the lunar surface.
Quebec-based aerospace developer ABB was also awarded a contract for the development of autonomous technology. In exchange for the $693,193 they were issued, they will design, build and test a prototype for an autonomous infrared spectrometer. This device will act as a mineral mapper, giving future robotic missions the ability to remotely measure and the composition of the Moon’s surface.
Magellan Aerospace – the global developer of aerospace technologies headquartered in Mississauga, Ontario – was issued a contract totaling $607,258 to develop a lunar impactor that will deliver instruments to the surface of the Moon. These will include sensors designed to detect water within the permanently shadowed regions around the southern polar region of the Moon. | aerospace | 1 |

By Airman David Dobrydney, 45th SW Public Affairs
/ Published July 05, 2007
PATRICK AIR FORCE BASE, Fla. -- Nine cadets from the Air Force Academy arrived at Patrick AFB and Cape Canaveral AFS June 25 as part of Operation Air Force.
The cadets are serving in various organizations at the Cape and Patrick, such as the 45th Civil Engineer Squadron, 1st Space Launch Squadron and 1st Range Operations Squadron.
First Lieutenant Ashley Maher, 1st ROPS, said there are three programs within OAF based on the class year the cadets are in.
There are two 1st class cadets in the group, slated to graduate the Academy in May 2008. They are already classified as space and missile officers, and were specifically sent to an Air Force Space Command base to learn more about their chosen career field.
The 2nd class cadet program focuses on the cadets shadowing company grade officers in different career fields to give them a better idea of what job might interest them. Finally, the 3rd class cadet program focuses on learning about what enlisted forces do in the Air Force.
In their first week, the cadets worked at base facilities like the fire station and received a tour of Cape Canaveral AFS. In their second week, the cadets will be on console at the Cape to observe a dress rehearsal for the Delta II DAWN launch. On the actual day of the launch they will be at Port Canaveral, passing out fliers to boaters to inform them of the launch and the Launch Hazard Area.
The cadets will also get to fly with the 920th Rescue Wing. "Many of the cadets want to fly. This gives them an opportunity to observe a mission," said Lieutenant Maher, who said she believes the time the cadets spend here will serve them well in their Air Force career.
"Operation Air Force gives them the opportunity to experience an operational base," she said. "The knowledge they gain here will give them a better perspective of the Air Force." | aerospace | 1 |

I can see the aircraft taking off and landing (depending on the wind direction) so like to know what is coming next.
Maastricht-Aachen Airport (Almost inappropriately named as Durham Tees Valley Airport) is not a busy place. It has 2 passengers routes, Berlin and Amsterdam. Around 12 routes for charters during the holiday season and a steady cargo haul to places like Nairobi, Istanbul and Pskov.
It also houses a couple of aviation companies, one that paints and one that maintains and converts planes. So it is not perculiar for an arriving plane instead of taking off again after 1 hour to disappear for a few days. One such plane was a Flyjet B767 reg G-FJEC which landed on the 27th November.
G-FJEC B767 as it was
Today the plane re-emerged from the hanger of the painting company in new Silverjet colours. It is the first plane ever to display silverjet's colours. Silverjet is a new airline founded by Lawrence Hunt are looking to revolutionise the business travel sector.
When it did reveal it's new look the plane had also a new registration G-SJET. An obvious sign that Silverjet are looking to attract the business person to its seats. Personalised Mercedes owners should only travel on personalised planes.
For an hour or so the plane flew around in the CTR (control zone) of Maastricht airport whilst being photogrpahed for the marketing bods at Silverjet before leaving to land at Luton Airport.
G-SJET B767 first flown 07.12.2006 Thanks to Bjorn van Velpen for the picture
Silverjet will not start flying until the 25th January 2007. The first route is Luton Airport to New York (Newark). The plane (normally a 300 seater) will only house 100 passengers on 75" flatbed convertible seats. Check-in time will be 30 minutes through a private terminal. The price for a seat/bed around £999.
A similar seat/bed that will be onboard Silver Jets 767's
7 more planes are due to land at Maastricht to be painted in the coming months. I think Silverjet is going places. In honour of this first inaugural flight I think we should commemorate it by a short clip of the Cats UK singing the 70's hit 'Luton Airport' | aerospace | 1 |

The People's Bank of China on Friday issued a set of gold and silver commemorative coins featuring China's first aircraft carrier.
The municipality of Beijing is encouraging investment in the navigation and location-based services industry, suggesting there is a market worth at least 50 billion yuan ($8 billion) by 2015 after China put its own satellite navigation network into commercial use.
China is likely to release a document deemed vital for mass application of its Beidou navigation satellite system by the end of the year as it is ready to provide services overseas, according to experts.
That China has joined the satellite navigation and positioning club alongside the United States, Russia and the European Union shows the importance the country has attached to innovation and technology.
A navigation system, capable of almost pinpoint accuracy, will cover more than 100 cities and benefit at least 200 million people across the nation.
China Mobile has started construction on an industrial park in Northeast China to boost the application of China's BeiDou Navigation Satellite System.
China successfully launched another satellite into space for its indigenous global navigation and positioning network at 11:33 p.m. Beijing Time Thursday, the launch center said.
China's indigenous satellite navigation system and positioning network is helping to improve fishing safety and saves lives after being installed on all fishery patrol vessels.
A 16th satellite will be added to China's indigenous satellite navigation system, Beidou, within this month, paving the way for the network to provide services to the Asia-Pacific.
A new satellite for China's homegrown Beidou navigation system will be launched at the end of October to join 15 satellites already in orbit, the Beijing News reported on Monday.
China is building a highly accurate navigation system, the Ministry of Science and Technology said.
China Spacesat Co Ltd, the nation's key developer of small satellites, said on Saturday that it will obtain 116 million yuan ($18.3 million) in government financial support.
China successfully launched another two satellites into space for its indigenous global navigation and positioning network at 3:10 am Beijing Time Wednesday.
Shanghai is seeking to market a homegrown satellite navigation technology by setting up a navigation and positioning platform and an inspection center.
Though dark clouds are looming over the global financial landscape, Ma Weihua believes that there is still light at the end of the tunnel for enterprises that have "innovation" as their calling card.
A base for promoting technological innovations for China's Beidou satellite navigation system has been established in Shanghai.
China's satellite-navigation industry and location-based services are set to play an increasingly important role in the next decade.
China will build a testing and certification network for its Beidou satellite navigation system over the next three years to sharpen the system's global competitiveness.
China may give favorable policies in August to the geoinformation industry, predicted to produce $157 billion goods and services by 2020. | aerospace | 1 |

Businesses and State agencies are promoting the technology to improve their operations. Soon the friendly skies will be filled with drones.
Len Calderone for | RoboticsTomorrow
There was a time when you looked to the skies, you would just see birds taking flight or maybe a passenger jet high in the clouds, but now, the object that you see might just be a drone, as 500+ businesses in the United States are now cleared by the FAA to operate drones commercially.
The FAA hasn't finalized drone rules, but this should be done sometime this year. But, because of pressure from some industry groups, the FAA has issued some exemptions, known as Section 333, which allow some companies to fly drones commercially under a pre-defined set of conditions. These companies are obliged to identify what specific drones they will use, how those drones will be used, and why the marketplace needs that service.
Section 333 holders can operate their drones anywhere as long as the drone remains below 200 feet. Companies can now conduct commercial operations anywhere not strictly prohibited by FAA rules, such as airports and military bases. Certified drone pilots are providing data to customers, such as aerial video and imagery for residential real estate and commercial properties. Some companies are working with solar companies to photograph roof dimensions and shading data for solar panel placement and others furnish infrastructure inspections.
A few companies are acting as brokers for drone services by supplying certified drone operators with companies needing the service. These broker companies solve how best to integrate the technology into a client company's operations. They help farmers decide if a drone service will help with the farm's operation. They are working with the American Red Cross to figure out how drones will aid in disaster relief. The potential for drone use is tremendous.
Some of these broker companies are Gofor, Workmode, Fly4Me, and Measure. There will also be a high demand for not only drone operators, but mechanics, fabricators, engineers, sub control specialist and other UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) technology. More than 70,000 jobs could develop in the first three years after Congress loosens restrictions on U.S. air space. An average salary for a drone pilot will be $50,000 - $120,000 per year, working for government contractors. Or, you can start your own business.
For a long time, if you needed aerial photography, you would hire a commercially piloted helicopter or airplane. Aerial photographs or video are used in cartography, topography, feature recognition, archaeology and GIS applications by providing information on ground sites that are often difficult, or even impossible, to see or measure from the ground.
UAV operators are finding a future in aerial surveying by providing digital photogrammetric mapping and ortho photography services due to the enormous cost savings achieved using small unmanned systems capable of carrying a variety of visual imagery payloads that can fly at lower altitudes and slower than traditional aircraft.
Inspecting radio and telecommunications towers is very dangerous work. Ninety-five workers died climbing these towers from 2004 through 2012, according to the FAA; and 17 manned aircraft performing aerial photography crashed from 2005 through 2009, killing 19 people.
UAVs will be used for aerial photo reconnaissance to gather information on competitors' facilities, expansion and employees, and in private investigations, such as cheating spouses or claimants faking insurance claims. Police forces will be able to track a fugitive on the run in areas where a police helicopter couldn't operate at low altitudes, or in situations where the police don't want a suspect to know that the police are watching them.
It is also easier to employ one security officer with a drone that could cover a large area of difficult terrain than it is to hire multiple security officers that would be required to man posts distributed throughout a property.
Search and rescue in rough terrain or a disaster area is difficult at best, but a drone would make finding victims faster and easier than conventional means, which could mean the difference between life and death. Drones can provide real-time hi-definition video footage in areas hard hit by natural disasters like flooding, hurricanes, tornadoes, avalanches and earthquakes that cause large areas to be almost impossible and too dangerous to reach by land.
In an emergency situation, a drone can deliver life saving first aid while waiting for the ambulance, such as defibrillator for a heart attack. Larger UAVs can also be used to safely deliver medicine, food and water to otherwise unreachable victims.
Drone delivery services have been a popular topic of discussion ever since Amazon brought up the concept. The company is designing a drone to allow same-day delivery of packages. Google Inc. and Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. have also experimented with this type of delivery.
In some cases, flight is faster, safer and more economical than shipping via overland routes. Drones are delivering emergency medicine, vital mechanical parts and time sensitive documents among other things.
It's expensive to move and operate jibs, cranes, dollies and cameras mounted on helicopters or small planes that are needed to get action shots for a movie. Drones perform these jobs easier and for a lot less money. Several films, such as Skyfall, Captain America, Transformers: Age of Extinction, and Mission Impossible, employed drones.
Use of drone in filming of "Game of Thrones" commercial
Even news cameramen are using drones to provide video footage from areas of conflict, war, civil upheaval, accidents and disaster. UAVs offer journalists a safe working distance from otherwise dangerous situations and can often be carried to the scene and deployed by a camera operator far more quickly and at less expense than a commercially piloted news helicopter.
Above, a customs agent arrests an immigrant who tried to run from authorities on the Texas/Mexican border. Human smuggling is one of several cartel crimes documented by drone surveillance.
Farmers are using UAVs with specialized cameras that are capable of capturing specific wavelengths of infrared video. Contrasting colors indicate the overall health of crops in the field. Areas of concern can be more closely inspected using the same UAV for verification, problem identification and delivering a localized remedy.

A near-infrared image of a citrus orchard is taken by sensors on an UAV. Near-infrared reflects off chlorophyll and can show farmers their plants’ health. Why is this important?
By 2050, our world population will have grown by more than 2.5 billion people; and farmers will need to produce more food in the next 35 years than they have in the past 10,000 years combined.
Photography has become very important to real estate sales and now the drone is employed to produce photographs of properties that could not previously be taken without a high cost. Low altitude aerial video footage, captured by drones, help to sell large properties and homes with unique features.
Realtors are beginning to realize greater benefits and profits by spending the extra money for a drone video of a listing. Studies show that listings that have videos get 400% more traffic. Listing videos get shown around the internet and garner a wider pool of people.
In the past, the word "drone" would bring about thoughts of the military destroying enemy targets. But as the technology expands to civilian use, another chapter in history is being written, as there will be a growing demand for commercial drones
Congress has mandated the FAA to develop a plan to safely integrate drones into U.S. airspace. Several states and businesses are competing to become a test zone in hopes of gaining traction in what promises to be a mushrooming industry. Businesses and State agencies are promoting the technology to improve their operations. Soon the friendly skies will be filled with drones.

They hit their 2 week turnaround target between this launch and NROL–76, as they did between EchoStar 23 and SES–10 previously. (The longer gap between SES–10 and NROL–76 was due to delays on the payload side, but we’ll never get more information on that because it’s the NRO.)
They’ve got CRS–11 slated for flight in just over two weeks (with a previously-flown Dragon), then BulgariaSat–1 two weeks after that (on a previously-flown core), and something slated just about every two weeks through the rest of the year.
SpaceX’s tempo has been on target and smooth, thanks in no small part to the upgraded infrastructure at 39A. They’ve had very little work to do between flights, which otherwise would be a time and attention hog. The rebuilt infrastructure at SLC–40 will probably be very similar—except for the lack of Falcon Heavy support—which means once that pad is back online, we can expect a similar tempo from its launches.
There were two extra interesting bits from yesterday’s launch: fairing recovery work, and new fueling procedures.
The LOX load came 10 minutes earlier at T-35, thanks to newer tech in Falcon 9 rockets. Both Helium and LOX are simultaneously loaded
He meant 10 minutes later in the count, at T–35 instead of the published T–45.
SpaceX was flying new hardware on this mission, at least in the upper stage, but maybe in both stages. It’s probably not a bad assumption to make that “newer tech” means the redesigned COPVs which will allow faster loading of LOX and helium without another Amos–6 incident.
That’s a good sign that SpaceX is progressing towards Block 5, the final version of Falcon 9. We know the currently-flying Falcon 9 vehicles are Block 3, but we have no clue what Block 4 actually contains, other than “whatever comes between 3 and 5.” There are some indications that Inmarsat–5 Flight 4 flew with a Block 3 first stage and a Block 4 upper stage.
Interestingly, Joey Roulette had some info on the next flights in this regard:
The next two launches, #CRS11 and #BulgariaSat, will be the last two without this improved loading system.
They wouldn’t be this sure about switching to the new hardware within a month if this was a test to make sure everything worked as designed before committing to the changes. It seems like an intentional decision to skip CRS–11—which makes sense given that NASA prefers to fly on hardware that has flown 3 times previously—and BulgariaSat–1.
BulgariaSat–1 makes less sense to skip if these really are only changes to the upper stage, but makes more sense to skip if the entire vehicle is moving to Block 4.
My assessment: a Block 4 upper stage was flown on Inmarsat–5 Flight 4 because they wanted every bit of performance they could get for such a heavy payload. That lets them get a flight of Block 4 hardware under their belt, and move forward with confidence to Block 4 vehicles after BulgariaSat–1. | aerospace | 1 |

A Piper J-3 Cub seaplane and a Piper PA-28 Cherokee fixed-wing aircraft have been each conducting tutorial flights after they collided March 7 over Lake Hartridge close to Winter Haven Regional Airport, a Nationwide Transportation Security Board report mentioned. Winter Haven is about 40 miles southwest of Orlando.
In line with recorded radio transmissions, the scholar pilot within the PA-28 was performing touchdown maneuvers to a runway on the close by airport. 4 seconds after the PA-28 pilot’s ultimate transmission, the aircraft collided almost straight on with the J-3 at about 575 ft above sea stage, officers mentioned.
FOUR DEAD IN MIDAIR PLANE COLLISION, INCLUDING COLLEGE STUDENT, FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR IN FLORIDA
The J-3 had been returning to its base for a water touchdown on a close-by lake after an area flight, the report mentioned. The seaplane was not outfitted with a radio and was not self-announcing or capable of obtain transmissions on a standard visitors advisory frequency, investigators mentioned.
The Polk County Sheriff’s Workplace beforehand mentioned Religion Irene Bake, 24, a pilot/flight teacher with Dawn Aviation, and Zachary Jean Mace, 19, a scholar at Polk State Faculty, have been aboard the fixed-wing aircraft, which was operated by Dawn Aviation in Ormond Seaside on behalf of Polk State Faculty. Each have been from Winter Haven.
FIERY FLORIDA PLANE CRASH LEAVES COUPLE, DOG SEVERELY INJURED: ‘QUITE TERRIFYING’
Randall Elbert Crawford, 67, of Carlisle, Pennsylvania, and Louis C. Defazio, 78, of Fredericksburg, Texas, have been aboard the seaplane, which was operated by Jack Brown’s Seaplane Base, the sheriff’s workplace mentioned. The NTSB report did not say who was flying that aircraft.
Rescue staff recovered all 4 our bodies from the water shortly after the crash. All main parts of each planes, apart from the suitable wing and aileron of the PA-28, have been recovered from the lake and held for additional examination, officers mentioned.

Researchers from Arizona University have stated that it is only a coincidence. For those who are unaware, Arizona University is part of the MROs ground team. Nonetheless, Star Wars actor William Shatner who played Captain Kirk in the famous series is talking about it!
The University of Arizona that manages the MRO HiRISE (High-Resolution Imaging Science Experiment) camera said, ‘Enterprising viewers will make the discovery that these features look conspicuously like a famous logo. You’d be right, but it’s only a coincidence.’
The unusually shaped dune is situated in Hellas Planitia, the red planet’s Southern Hemisphere. The University of Arizona has explained that the combination of lave and formed the chevron shape that is so similar to the Star Trek logo. As it happens, such a formation is not unusual for the scientists are carrying out observation of Mars.
After observing for Mars for years, the scientists have come up with a solid theory about how these amazing shapes are formed. They believe that long ago there were crescent-shaped dunes that would shift across the plain. Moving forward, at some point, an eruption from below the surface of Mars took place, and this led to lava flowing over the plain and surrounded the dunes. It did not, however, rise over them. The lava hardened eventually, and the dunes blew away while leaving their imprints behind. The explained phenomenon is also called ‘dunecasts’.
The Mars Orbiter has been working since 2005 and has actually been in service for double the time period for which it was planned. NASA has plans of using the Orbiter even after 2025. This implies that certain aspects of the mission need to be changed to make sure that the equipment is able to carry out its work.
The research team has plans of transferring the focus from the Orbiter’s old gyroscope to its star tracker. The team is also looking into ways of ‘wringing’ useful life from the batteries. MRO Project Manager Dan Johnston of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, California, said, ‘We know we’re a critical element for the Mars Program to support other missions for the long haul, so we’re finding ways to extend the spacecraft’s life. In flight operations, our emphasis is on minimizing risk to the spacecraft while carrying out an ambitious scientific and programmatic plan.’ | aerospace | 1 |

The twin-engine Partenavia P68 Observer crashed under unknown circumstances at the private Panda Ranch Airport.
A man who discovered the damaged aircraft Saturday alerted the FAA, Gregor said.
The FAA investigators will examine the aircraft, review its maintenance records, conduct a detailed interview with the pilot and speak with the man who found the plane, Gregor said in an email.
Maui County spokesman Rod Antone said the plane sustained light damage and no one was injured in what he called a force landing.
“Federal regulators require an aircraft operator to immediately report an accident to the National Transportation Safety Board,” Gregor said. “The NTSB has not yet determined whether this event qualifies as an accident or incident. The categorization depends on the severity of the damage to the aircraft and whether anyone on board is seriously injured.” | aerospace | 1 |

Fast-forwarding through all the tedious stuff can offer a new perspective on something you've seen a thousand times—like say an airplane landing at LaGuardia Airport.
A pilot took the timelapse video below of flying over Manhattan before coming to land at LGA, and it turns out that once it is slightly sped-up, the whole process looks straight out of a video game. This is certainly more exciting than the ever-more realistic flight simulator games out there.

https://military-history.fandom.com/wiki/Anti-ship_ballistic_missile | 2022-05-19T03:31:00 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-21/segments/1652662522741.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20220519010618-20220519040618-00664.warc.gz | 0.91665 | 1,096 | CC-MAIN-2022-21 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2022-21__0__301738966 | en | An anti-ship ballistic missile (ASBM) is a military quasiballistic missile system designed to hit a warship at sea.
The ASBM's conventional warhead and kinetic energy may be sufficient to cripple or outright destroy a supercarrier with a single hit. However, unlike a nuclear warhead, this will require a direct hit to be effective. Thus, and unlike a typical ballistic missile, which follows a ballistic flightpath after the relatively brief initial powered phase of flight, an ASBM would require a precise and high-performance terminal guidance system, with in-flight updates or advanced sensors in order to hit its moving target.
China has designed the world's first anti-ship ballistic missile, known as the DF-21D. In 2010, it was reported that China had entered the DF-21D into its early operational stage for deployment. The potential threat from the DF-21D against US aircraft carriers has reportedly caused major changes in US strategy.
In February 2011, Iran demonstrated a short-range anti-ship ballistic missile named Persian Gulf or Khalij Fars, a missile based on the Fateh-110 which successfully hit a stationary target vessel. It has been reported as a short ranged ballistic missile with a range of 250–300 km.
The United States Navy allegedly fields what some experts think to be the best midcourse anti-ballistic defense in the world, and is developing high powered lasers for terminal-defense against anti-ship ballistic missiles. The U.S. arsenal has a variety of potential countermeasures.
According to a senior political scientist at the RAND Corporation, Roger Cliff,
“The thing to keep in mind is that, in order for China to successfully attack a U.S. navy ship with a ballistic missile, it must first detect the ship, identify it as a U.S. warship of a type that it wishes to attack (e.g., an aircraft carrier), acquire a precise enough measurement of its location that a missile can be launched at it (i.e., a one-hour old satellite photograph is probably useless, as the ship could be 25 miles away from where it was when the picture was taken), and then provide mid-course updates to the missile. Finally, the warhead must lock onto and home in on the ship.
This complicated “kill chain” provides a number of opportunities to defeat the attack.
For example, over-the-horizon radars used to detect ships can be jammed, spoofed, or destroyed; smoke and other obscurants can be deployed when an imagery satellite, which follows a predictable orbit, is passing over a formation of ships; the mid-course updates can be jammed; and when the missile locks on to the target its seeker can be jammed or spoofed. Actually intercepting the missile is probably the most difficult thing to do.
[...]The missile by itself would be pretty useless. As implied by my response to the previous question, an entire “system of systems” is needed to make it work. Some countries might buy them just to impress their neighbors, but their combat effectiveness would be negligible unless the country also invested in the needed detection, data processing, and communications systems.”

It’s the massive tools — ones used for putting together an aircraft wing or for laying carbon fiber — that trigger the image. What’s missing: aircraft parts.
Inside the Mukilteo facility, the tools are being manufactured, not the airplanes. It’s up to Electroimpact to make the process of building an airplane faster, smoother and more precise.
“Each aircraft has its own unique solution,” said Rob Flynn, an engineer at Electroimpact.
“It’s all custom,” he added.
In fact, Electroimpact has almost no “standard product” line to speak of. The closest product it has to a consistent, duplicated part is its Flextrack drill, which was originally designed by Boeing engineer Jim Buttrick. Boeing has given Electroimpact approval to manufacture and to distribute the drill.
The drill line and the robotic systems that Electroimpact offers are a lower-cost, more flexible way for an aerospace company to get started building and assembling aircraft parts. But there’s a trade-off in precision — though the company’s newer robotic systems can be maneuvered as tightly as the width of a human hair.
Despite the recent downturn in air traffic, Electroimpact is doing well. The company’s success is more closely tied with the development of new aircraft or variants or the establishment of new production line. For example, in June, Electroimpact received a contract with Boeing Charleston for flextrack drilling machines and post-mill machines for Boeing’s second 787 assembly line in South Carolina.
Electroimpact is also working on tooling for Airbus’ A350 outer wing box as well as on production support for Bombardier’s new CSeries commercial aircraft.
With both Boeing and Airbus considering new single-aisle aircraft and Boeing taking a look at its 777, Electroimpact has tremendous new business potential.
As the world’s top two jetmakers begin to design more composite material into their airplanes, Electroimpact also is positioned to grow into that market.
When Boeing began work on its 787 Dreamliner, the company helped fund some of Electroimpact’s research in automating the carbon fiber lay-up process, Flynn said.
Today, at the back of Electroimpact’s factory is the company’s prototype for an automated fiber placement machine. Boeing 787 supplier Spirit AeroSystems uses one for the nose section that it makes on the Dreamliner. Spirit also ordered one for its work on the A350.
Electroimpact’s fiber placement system is built for thinner-width fiber. Although it can place up to 1,800 inches per minute, its real advantage is how fast it accelerates, Flynn said.
“You don’t go very fast for very long,” he said.
One of Electroimpact’s largest projects is the work the company has done for Airbus’ A380 wing production. In fact, the company has 60 engineers stationed in Europe, mostly to meet Airbus’ needs and keep up with maintenance on the products that Electroimpact has supplied.
While many Puget Sound-area aerospace companies historically tied their successes to Boeing’s, Electroimpact does more work for Airbus than it does for Boeing, despite its proximity to the latter.
With 300 engineering employees in the Puget Sound region, the company also brings in 15 to 30 interns each summer. Flynn has a lot of success in recruiting engineering students from Seattle University, less so from University of Washington. Some of the interns land full-time positions at Electroimpact when they graduate.
“They make a real contribution” even during their internships, Flynn said. | aerospace | 1 |

For victims of traumatic injury, the time it takes to receive emergency treatment can mean the difference between life and death. For those whose illness requires immediate transport to a major medical facility, receiving a high-level of care en route may also prove critical. CALSTAR exists to fill the need for rapid transport of patients that frequently can only be provided by an air ambulance.
CALSTAR was the first stand-alone nonprofit air ambulance provider in the U.S. to be supported by a consortium of corporations and hospitals. CALSTAR's organizational model was developed to avoid the cost inefficiencies inherent in many hospital based air ambulance programs. With bases located throughout the state, CALSTAR offers air medical services from Ukiah to Santa Barbara and from the San Francisco Bay Area to Northern Nevada. Our service covers vast areas of wilderness and population-dense urban communities with the same level of commitment and responsiveness.
Since CALSTAR commenced flight operations in September of 1984, it has provided emergency transportation for more than 50,000 critically injured or ill patients to hospitals throughout California and Northern Nevada. Today, approximately 75% of these flights are in support of regional 911 emergency services networks. Safety has always been CALSTAR's first core value and remains the organization's highest priority. To date, CALSTAR has flown over 70,000 accident-free flight hours.
SERVICE REGION AND CAPABILITIES
CALSTAR's flight crews respond from full-time rotor wing bases in Auburn, Concord, Gilroy, Salinas, Santa Maria, South Lake Tahoe, Ukiah and Vacaville. McClellan Park in Sacramento is home to CALSTAR's headquarters and communications center (CALCOM), as well as our dedicated inter-facility fixed wing program.
A pilot and two flight nurses make up CALSTAR's flight crews. Pilots have a minimum of 3,000 hours of pilot-in-command flight time.

The 31st Annual AMSAT Space Symposium and Annual Meeting takes place 1-3 NOV 2013 at the Houston Marriott South at Hobby Airport. Deadline for reserving rooms under the AMSAT Block is Wednesday, 16 OCT 2013. Time is running out; reserve your room directly with the hotel and register for the Symposium, the banquet, and special tours on the AMSAT Store! Note: the special tour of Johnson Space Center scheduled for Monday, 4 NOV 2013 is booked and reservations are closed. All Symposium activities online reservations will close 25 OCT 2013.
A special highlight of this year’s Symposium is the celebration of the 30th anniversary of amateur radio involvement in human space flight and the evolution of amateur radio into a successful program on board the International Space Station. ARISS (Amateur Radio on the ISS) is an international program that supports educational outreach as well as provides an opportunity for informal contacts between astronauts/cosmonauts and amateur radio operators around the world. The recent delivery of “Ham TV” equipment to the Columbus module by the European Space Agency is a reflection of the continued support that amateur radio holds for communicating with students.
Astronaut Owen Garriott, W5LFL on STS-9 in November 1983 was the first astronaut to utilize amateur radio to communicate with personnel on the ground, allowing the general public to speak with US astronauts from space, outside the communication channels of NASA’s Mission Control. | aerospace | 1 |

On June 22, HyFlyer hybrid hydrogen-electric aircraft took off for the first time from Cranfield airfield in Bedfordshire, England as part of a program to create a fleet of long-range non-polluting aircraft, writes New Atlas.
“Today’s flight is the latest in a series of milestones that moves the possibility of zero-emission flight closer to reality,” says Val Miftakhov, ZeroAvia Founder and CEO. “We all want the aviation industry to come back after the pandemic on a firm footing to be able to move to a net-zero future, with a green recovery. That will not be possible without realistic, commercial options for zero-emission flight, something we will bring to the market as early as 2023.”
Having received funding from the Innovate UK Foundation and the Institute of Aerospace Technology, ZeroAvia promises to launch Project HyFlyer in the shortest possible time: airplanes with 10 – 20 seats will begin to deliver passengers in three years, models with 50 – 100 seats will appear by 2030, and 200 with a range of more than 5500 km – in the 2040th.
HyFlyer hydrogen-electric aircraft has already passed the necessary ground tests, and long-distance test flights will take place in the coming months. The final test will be a flight to the Orkney Islands in Scotland at a distance of approximately 500 km. | aerospace | 1 |

Astronauts from NASA and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) have embarked on the year’s fourth spacewalk to service the International Space Station (ISS).
NASA TO PROVIDE FIRST UPDATE ON PERSEVERANCE ROVER SINCE LANDING
NASA flight engineer Kate Rubins and Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency astronaut Soichi Noguchi exited the station on Friday shortly after 6:30 a.m. ET in a continuation of the effort to ready the station for solar array upgrades.
Rubins arrived at the space station on Oct. 14, 2020, and Noguchi arrived in November as part of NASA’s SpaceX Crew-1 mission.
This marks the fourth career spacewalk for each astronaut.
The pair will spend 6.5 hours outside the ISS and will complete several tasks including venting ammonia from the Early Ammonia System and installing a “stiffener” device on the Quest airlock thermal cover.
The work to install solar array modification kits began during Sunday’s spacewalk.
“The new solar arrays, which will be delivered to the space station on upcoming SpaceX Dragon cargo missions, are a larger version of the Roll-Out Solar Array (ROSA) technology and will ultimately increasing the station’s total available power from 160 kilowatts to up to 215 kilowatts,” NASA said in a blog post.

Ahead of the space agency’s goal of sending astronauts back to the moon by 2024, it has launched “NASA’s Lunar Loo Challenge”
Posted on HeroX, the guidelines challenge anyone to solve the problem of adapting a toilet for the Artemis lunar lander. The toilet will need to work in both the microgravity of space, “zero-g” and on the moon, where gravity is about a sixth of what we feel on Earth.
The guidelines note that a toilet should be able to support a crew of two astronauts for 14 days with a turnaround time of five minutes or less between uses, be easy to clean and allow for the transfer of the collected waste to storage or for disposal outside the vehicle. NASA also notes that it must use less than 70 watts of power, make less noise than an average bathroom fan and weigh less than 33 pounds on Earth while less than .12 cubic meters in volume.
Additional important details include that the toilet needs to accommodate men and women, conserve water and “help maintain a pristine environment inside the lander that is free of odors and other contaminants.” Additionally, “bonus points will be awarded to designs that can capture vomit without requiring the crew member to put his/her head in the toilet.”
The deadline for submissions on HeroX will be August 17 and winners will be announced sometime in October. NASA is also offering a grand prize of $20,000 USD, with $10,000 and $5,000 USD prizes for second and third place in its Lunar Loo Challenge.

The J-15: China’s New Naval Fighter
Although the details of Chinese military technology tend to be kept quiet until it is in a fully operational state, most reputable reports assessing the likely operational capabilities of future Chinese aircraft carriers indicate that they will host a fighter aircraft known as the J-15 Flying Shark, constructed by the Shenyang Aircraft Corporation. Given China’s history of adapting foreign designs to suit domestic requirements, it would be unsurprising to see the J-15 be quite similar to the equivalent Russian naval fighter, the SU33 Naval Flanker.
The J-15 fighter is set to be the primary carrier aircraft for the Chinese People’s Liberation Army Navy for some time. With little domestic experience in the production and operation of carrier based aircraft, China seems likely to rely on a proven base design adapted to its requirements rather than strike out on its own to produce a wholly unique aircraft. Although recent Chinese military development has begun to shift towards independently conceived and produced weaponry, such as the new Chinese stealth fighter only recently tested, for some years it can be expected that China will rely on a design borrowing heavily if not entirely from the SU33 - which itself is derived from the highly successful SU-27 Flanker.
The Flanker Family Evolution: SU-27 to SU-33.
The SU-27 Flanker began its development as an answer to the F-15 Eagle, later to be one of the United States’ most successful fighter aircraft. In line with Soviet technological limitations, the SU-27 was intended to counter the F-15’s advanced radar and electronics suite with high maneuverability and close coordination with surface to air missiles and other aircraft like the Mig-29 Fulcrum. Exercises held between the US and India, which operates an upgraded Flanker variant known as the SU-30, indicate that the design is largely successful where it intended to be - the Flanker fighters are extremely acrobatic and nimble, and have been successfully used in several conflicts since the end of the Cold War.
The Flanker’s success and general adaptability made its airframe an ideal choice for operating from then-building Soviet aircraft carriers. Even as the Soviet Union split apart, the SU33 continued development and entered service in the 1990’s on Russia’s sole carrier, the Admiral Kuznetsov.
China is rapidly building its military capabilities in order to be able to effectively defend its territory from modern militaries, and it is in effect rushing to deploy ships and aircraft that are of first-class quality. As such, in light of Chinese designers’ inexperience with producing carrier based aircraft, it is not a surpise to find that they sought to buy the SU33 Flanker in the past, and when rebuffed, appear to have turned to reverse engineering the design based on a prototype purchased from the Ukraine.
Role of the J-15 Fighter: Extending China’s Air Umbrella Over the Fleet
The choice of using the SU-33 as its basis for developing the J-15 is likely rooted in China’s objectives at sea. It will be a very long time before China can reasonably hope to challenge US Navy supercarriers in the middle of the Pacific, and such a confrontation is even in the long term unlikely as China is primarily a continental power concerned with protecting its coastline and a few vital shipping areas such as the Straits of Malacca, South China Sea, and Indian Ocean. Most of these areas are already within range of long range bombers, but fighter aircraft vital to these bombers’ survival in a combat situation tend to have far shorter ranges.
China most likely wants a proven air superiority fighter that can extend the protective air defense umbrella provided by fighters far out to sea, in order to operate in conjunction with land based strike aircraft. The SU33 is an ideal basis for the J-15 fighter in this regard, as the Flanker is an air superiority heavyweight likely equivalent in capability to the F-18E Super Hornets operated by US aircraft carriers and the Rafale flown by the French navy. It is almost certainly superior to the Mig-29 variants expected to be operated by Indian aircraft carriers for some time.
The Chinese J-15 Fighter - Complete Copy of the SU33?
The degree to which the J-15 will actually mimic the SU33 is unknown, but its capabilities relative to its spiritual parent will become more clear as the reconstruction of the Varyag is finished and the Chinese aircraft carriers now under construction get closer to completion. The SU33 is launched from the Russian Kuznetsov with the aid of an angled ski jump at the front end of the flight deck, which allows fighters to take off without aid of a catapult - at the cost of takeoff weight.
China may or may not maintain this method of launching its fighters. New aircraft carriers under construction in the United States and Britain make full use of catapult launch systems and not ski-jump decks, and if China dispenses with this means of launching aircraft it will mean that the J-15 has been redesigned from the base SU33 to better withstand the stresses of catapult assisted launches. The reconstruction required might also translate to a heavier aircraft better able to launch air to ground ordnance such as anti-ship missiles, which could in turn indicate that the J-15 will be a more multi-role oriented aircraft as opposed to being primarily an air superiority fighter - more akin to the US operated F-18E Hornet than the Russian SU-33 Flanker.
Estimated J-15 Specifications Based on Published SU33 Specs
Again, until the Chinese carriers are launched with or without catapult launch systems or China makes certain aspects of the J-15 design known, the exact
dimensions and capabilities of the J-15 will remain a bit of a mystery. But assuming that the majority of reports are correct and that the SU-33 is the base design, the SU33 Flanker specifications can be used as a baseline for the Chinese derivative:
- 70+ feet long, 20 feet high, 50 ft wingspan, loaded weight of 33 tons
- 2 Afterburner equipped engines with a top speed of Mach 2.1+
- Range of around 1800 miles with an air-to air combat load and 1 pilot
- Around 100 lb per square foot wing loading and 55,000 foot service ceiling
- Internal cannon plus twelve hardpoints carrying seven tons of ordnance
- Ability to launch 4 radar guided and IR seeking air to air missiles
- Air to Surface ordnance, possibly including anti-ship missiles and precision guided munitions, in addition to anti-radiation missiles for the suppression of air defenses and unguided bombs and rockets
Again, these are the baseline stats of the SU33 from which the J-15 is expected to be derived. If the Chinese move to catapult launch systems then the J-15 could be significantly heavier and possibly less maneuverable.
Installing different engines would also raise or lower the top speed depending on their quality. If the J-15 is extremely close in performance to the Naval Flanker, it would be larger than the primary US Navy fighter, the F-18E Super Hornet, and have a longer range and higher top speed, but be just about as maneuverable and less capable in the air to ground role.

One of China's top test pilots recalls the H-Bomb that almost backfired.

When your assignment is to drop a live nuclear bomb, you’d better not return to base with it. But that’s just what happened in 1971 to Yang Guoxiang, a pilot with the People’s Liberation Army Air Force, who told his harrowing tale to Bob Bergin, a former U.S. Foreign Service officer who writes about the aviation history of Southeast Asia and China. Bergin interviewed Yang in Kunming, China, in early 2009, with the assistance of interpreter Zhao Gang, an instructor at Yunnan University.
Air & Space: You hail from the remote mountains of Yunnan Province. How did you come to be a pilot?
Yang: China was at war with the invading Japanese as I was growing up and trying to get an education. In middle school I came in contact with the underground Communist Party and joined a communist youth group. In November 1948, I participated in an armed uprising against the Kuomintang (KMT) government and had to flee into the mountains, where I became a guerrilla. In 1949 I formally joined the PLA.
In 1949 the People’s Republic of China was founded. The People’s Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF) was established the same year. We had few pilots, so the PLAAF set up aviation schools to train them. The start of the Korean War in 1950 accelerated the process. I was serving in Yunnan and was one of 1,000 who signed up to join the air force. Six candidates were chosen, and I was the only one remaining after we six were sent to Kunming for health checks.
I was sent to Beijing in February 1950, and from there to the aviation school at Mudanjiang. Most of our instructors were former Japanese POWs who had volunteered to help the PLAAF after the war, and former KMT who had joined us. Our aircraft were Japanese and American types that remained from the war. Our training lasted just three months before we were sent to operational units. I had 70 flight hours, and was sent to fly ground attack aircraft, the Russian Ilyushin IL-10, a version of the famous IL-2 “Sturmovik” of World War II, the “Flying Tank.” I was assigned first to the 22nd Division, and later to the 11th Division, which participated in the Korean war.
We were sent to northeast China and were ready to deploy across the border into Korea when American F-84s destroyed the airport we were to use, and so we did not go. We became witnesses to the Korean War. From our base in China, we could see F-86s in the sky, and knew most of the American pilots had thousands of flying hours, while we had only a few. In terms of experience, we were children. Our only asset was our courage.
After the Korean War we modified the MiG-15 to make it suitable for ground attack. Many of the aircraft the Soviets had given us were abandoned because of the short life of their engines. When Sino-Soviet relations deteriorated in 1958, China decided to develop its own ground attack aircraft.
We were short of aircraft then, and short of fuel. Most of our airplanes stayed on the tarmac for lack of fuel and spare parts. Our pilots could fly only about 40 hours a year, and the recruitment of new pilots was suspended for several years.
A & S: Describe your role in the development of China’s Qiang-5 aircraft.
Yang: It would take years of arduous work, but China would develop its first military aircraft, a supersonic ground attack plane designated the Qiang-5, or Q-5. The chief designer was a former KMT officer, Lu Xiaopeng, who had studied aircraft design in the U.S., but stayed on the mainland after the KMT evacuated to Taiwan. He used the Russian MiG-19 as his model, and adapted its features to create a ground attack aircraft with much greater range than the MiG, but with many changes to the original design. The completed airplane was similar to the American F-4 Phantom.
In 1965 I was one of four pilots chosen to participate in the Q-5 flight tests. I had never flown a supersonic aircraft. To make the transition to the Q-5, I was sent to fly the MiG-19 and then the upgraded MiG-19 attack version. Finally, I was sent to Tangshan city to fly the Q-5. In 1966 and 1967, I made over 200 flights in the aircraft. At the end I prepared a report on the Q-5’s strong points and flaws.
In 1967, a meeting was held in Beijing to discuss the feasibility of producing the Q-5. The meeting was the key to implementing the program, and I was asked to speak. I cited the issues that I had covered in my written report, including the Q-5’s problems, such as its controls. They were hydraulically activated and responded very slowly to inputs. Hydraulic pressure was too low. That also made it difficult to retract the undercarriage when the airspeed reached 330 kilometers per hour (205 mph).
The meeting led to the production of the Q-5. Despite the turmoil caused by the Cultural Revolution then underway, the CPC Central Committee decided to produce 250 Q-5s. I was appointed Director of the Q-5 test flight panel, and named as Director of the Air Force Scientific Research and Development Department.
Despite our best efforts, the Q-5 program lagged well behind our hopes. It was 1969 before the Q-5 passed all its tests. After I made the last flight in December of that year, the Q-5 was declared operational, and the plant was given formal approval to go into full production. My work with this project was completed. I was named commander of an operational unit, the 19th Division in Shandong.
While we were still in test flight stage, the Director of the Nuclear Weapon Research Institute had talked with me and I started to sense that the Q-5 might be included in some strategic program. He asked about aircraft that could carry a big bomb, like the H-bomb, which was much bigger than any other bomb we had. I told him it might be possible to use the Q-5. | aerospace | 1 |

By Col. Jay Pittman, Jr., 302nd Airlift Wing commander
/ Published June 28, 2010
PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. --
On Sunday afternoon of the June Unit Training Assembly, units within the 302nd Airlift Wing took time away from regular training activities to call attention to the recent rise in Air Force suicides, the tragic loss of Airmen to private motor vehicle accidents and to reintroduce the Wingman concept.
Even though the stand down has ended, I encourage every member of the 302nd Airlift Wing to continue thinking about the topics discussed and personally take on the responsibilities of being a Wingman; look out for others, be dependable, accountable, resourceful, responsible and committed. The Wingman concept is more than an event; it's a culture of taking care of one another every day. Please take these concepts beyond the Wing and Peterson Air Force Base and share them with your families and friends - especially during the 101 Critical Days of Summer
and during this Year of the Air Force Family.
Taking care of our families has been a priority for the Air Force during 2010. This year has been recognized by the Air Force as the Year of the Air Force Family
. In the Air Force Reserve, a new program is being offered to assist our deployers and their families. The Yellow Ribbon Reintegration Program
which includes pre- and post-deployment events is now available to members of the 302nd. The Wing recently took part in two post-deployment "YRRP" events in Vail, Colo., by partnering with the Colorado National Guard's post-deployment programs. I have personally attended the recent YRRPs and from them have discovered additional support and benefits available to deployers and their families. YRRP is truly a great program for Air Force Reserve deployers and a great experience for the entire family. Our Airman and Family Readiness Office can provide more information on YRRP.
We can get so busy in our lives that it's easy to forget or fall behind in taking care of ourselves and our families. Being a Wingman and taking part in programs such as YRRP can make a significant and positive difference in your life, the lives of those closest to you and your Reserve career. | aerospace | 1 |

The features of China’s armed drone concept are similar in mission and appearance to the US-made Kratos XQ-58A Valkyrie.
Many countries across the world are investing in building armed drones, these help protect pricier crewed fighter jets.
According to Wu Wei, a representative of China Aerospace Science Technology Corp (CASTC) Feihong product line, the Chinese armed drone concept (long-range FH-97) is capable of carrying different types of weapons and has swarm and electronic warfare capabilities. Though no product specifications were provided during his presentation at Airshow China in Zhuhai.
Other countries working on “loyal wingman” drones are cheaper and more expendable than crewed fighters.
CASTC did not provide any technical details of the FH-97 concept, also did not comment if it was planned for export, while many foreign observers watched the presentation. The Chinese companies have 27 drone exhibits at the Zhuhai show.
As far as the looks go the FH-97 is almost identical to the Kratos XQ-58A, which made its first flight in 2019. The XQ-58A has a maximum speed of Mach 0.85 and a range of about 2,200 nautical miles.
The plan was to turn Feihong into an “international top-notch brand… and become a major player at the center stage of the world arena.” said Zhang Zhongyang, vice president of CASTC.
China already exports military drones to countries such as the United Arab Emirates, Pakistan, and Serbia.
Collin Koh, a defense research fellow with Singapore’s Rajaratnam School of International Studies said, “The chief customer is certainly the PLA, but in recent years the Chinese are also aggressively marketing these systems for exports.”
At the show, GJ-11 was also on display and had two weapons bays open for the first time. There were four unidentified munitions inside each of them that appeared to be precision air-to-ground glide bombs.
According to Bradley Perrett, a specialist on Asian aerospace and defense, the GJ-11 was designed to slip undetected through radar coverage and attack heavily defended targets.
He further added, “In doing that, it would take the place of a much larger and more expensive fighter with a pilot. Development won’t be easy, but when it’s complete the type will present a new threat to Taiwan and potentially Japan.” | aerospace | 1 |

Finland’s Minister of Defense Jussi Niinistö authorised the Finnish Defence Forces’ Logistics Command to make an agreement on purchasing Surface-to-Surface Missile System 2020 (SSM2020), on 5th July 2018, the MoD said in a statement Friday.
The submitted quotations were from NSM (Kongsberg, Norway); EXOCET (MBDA, France); Harpoon (Boeing, USA); RBS15 (SAAB, Sweden) and Gabriel (Israel Aerospace Industries, Israel).
The system to be purchased will replace the current anti-ship missile system MTO85M that will reach the end of its lifecycle in the 2020s. The new SSM2020 Missiles will be installed on board the Hamina Class and Squadron 2020 Class vessels and on a vehicle platform. The procurement will have an impact on the Finnish Defence Forces’ operations and on the Finnish Navy’s capabilities until the 2050s.
The main selection criteria included performance vis-à-vis acquisition costs and schedule, lifecycle costs and security of supply, and compatibility with existing infrastructure and defence system. Details concerning quantities of the system to be purchased will not be made public.
The purchase will include the launchers, the missiles, simulators, test equipment, spare parts and training. The deliveries will take place between the years 2019 and 2025.
SSM2020 is an important part of the Finnish Defence Forces’ performance and that is why the maintenance capabilities will be in Finland. The security of supply for the whole lifecycle will be insured.
Surface warfare refers to the ability to use fires against enemy’s surface vessels. The surface warfare capability of the Finnish Navy includes the use of missiles, naval mines and coastal artillery fires. The missile is capable of long range effect and can also be able to be used against land targets. The new system will create a deterrent and a threat to the adversary as well as a capability for Finland to respond to the threats of the modern and developing battle field also in the future.
The Finnish ministry of defense has extended an agreement on the maintenance of Long-Range Surveillance Radar and Medium-Range Surveillance Radar systems with Thales for 2018-2023. Based on a proposal of the Defence Forces Logistics Command, Minister of Defence Jussi Niinistö mandated the Defence Forces to conclude an extension agreement on the maintenance of LRSR and MRSR with Thales LAS France S
The Finnish Defense Forces Logistics Command has received responses from five companies to the Request for Quotation (RFQ) concerning the HX Fighter Programme sent to the governments of Great Britain, France, Sweden and the United States. They were requested to give a quotation on the following aircraft: Boeing F/A-18 Super Hornet (United States), Dassault Rafale (France), Eurofighter Typhoon (Great Britain), Lockheed Martin F-35 (United States) and Saab Gripen (Sweden), the Finnish MoD said in a statement Friday
The US State Department has approved a possible Foreign Military Sale (FSM) to Finland of RGM-84Q-4 Harpoon Block II+ ER Grade B Surface-Launched Missiles and RGM-84L-4 Harpoon Block II Grade B Surface-Launched Missiles for an estimated cost of $622 million. Another FMS Finland approval was made for sixty-eight (68) Evolved SEASPARROW Missiles (ESSM) and one (1) ESSM inert operational missile for an estimated cost of $112
Saab has established a new development centre – the Saab Technology Centre (STC) – in Tampere, Finland, with a focus on Electronic Warfare (EW). The unit contributes to deliveries for Saab´s current EW contracts for fighter aircraft, including Gripen E/F, the EW system for Airborne Early Warning & Control (AEW&C) aircraft, and the Electronic Support Measures/Electronic Intelligence systems (ESM/ELINT) used for land applications

Geniuses including Stephen Hawking and Elon Musk have called for an escape from the planet. Billionaires are said to be preparing bunkers and remote fortresses.
It’s easy to see why, even if you aren’t worried about our new president having an itchy trigger finger on the nuclear button. Climate change projections of rising temperatures, extreme weather events, and violent conflict all seem to be arriving on schedule.
If things go really bad on planet Earth, could we send people to live on another planet and save the human race?
NASA depicts livable conditions in artist renditions of newly discovered Earth-sized exoplanets circling other stars. Musk promises to send space tourists on a joyride around the moon. How far away could it be before people land and stay?
In a new book co-authored with Dr. Amanda Hendrix, Beyond Earth, we’ve studied plans for space colonization both seriously and skeptically. And we do believe pioneers will eventually leave and make new homes in space.
But that journey will be no substitute for solving Earth’s problems. Indeed, solving problems here on Earth may be a prerequisite to settling in space.
It is much harder for human beings to get to another planet and settle there than many people seem to think. The can-do attitude of space boosters is part of the problem.
Underselling the challenges has produced unrealistic expectations about our abilities and weakened our efforts to overcome them. Lacking sustained investment or a long-term vision for human space exploration supported by the public, no human being has gone beyond low Earth orbit since Apollo 17, in 1972.
Musk and other commercial space entrepreneurs have accomplished amazing technical feats, but they also have the bad habit of overpromising. Musk’s SpaceX accepted a deposit for the moon orbit before he has orbited people around Earth.
He may well succeed. China may put crews on the moon within 20 years. But these goals aren’t in the same league as going beyond the moon. And landing to stay is even further off. At the current pace of investment, a space colony will never happen.
Space radiation and the neurological hazards of weightlessness put destinations other than the moon out of reach with current technology. The risk to passengers is too high. We need significantly faster spacecraft and a much better understanding of the health hazards of space travel.
NASA has embarked on these studies, but answers may take decades.
Even with a safe mode of travel, moving many people to another planet would cost an enormous amount, far more than the passengers themselves could afford. No one has identified a space resource that would compensate for that investment, so altruistic Earthlings left behind would have to pay the bill.
If the world falls apart, how willing would they be? A mission to send a few astronauts to Mars for a brief visit could cost a trillion dollars. Would nations struggling with climate disasters, wars, and mass migration pay that much—and far more—to dispatch and support a group of colonists?
On Earth, governments often launched colonial ventures that would become self-supporting and profitable. The Lost Colony of Roanoke Island, in North Carolina, is an example of one that didn’t, and perished.
The colony’s disappearance is relevant. Queen Elizabeth I sanctioned it, but when the Spanish Armada attacked England in 1588, she refused to spare ships for resupply. A modern leader faced by world war might make a similar choice if faced with the expense of supporting a space colony.
Scant opportunities for a self-sustaining space colony exist in our celestial neighborhood.
No place in our solar system is as hospitable to life as Earth’s least hospitable place. Human beings on Mars would have to live underground for shelter from radiation. Creating a protective atmosphere on Mars would take many lifetimes.
We do not currently know how to build a self-contained, self-sustaining underground habitat on another planet.
An Earthlike exoplanet circling another star could have an atmosphere, and perhaps even oxygen and life. NASA has discovered enough new planets to create confidence that they are ubiquitous in the galaxy. Sheer chance promises some should harbor pleasant human habitats.
But we know little about conditions on particular exoplanets. In February, NASA released lovely landscapes imagined of the seven new planets around the star Trappist-1. Unfortunately, the artist’s imagination was the most impressive aspect of the pictures. All scientists can really tell us about them is their size and the radius of their orbits.
Soon, new instruments may tell us much more, including the presence and composition of the planets’ potential atmospheres. But these planets are so far away that getting there would take something like a Star Trek warp dive.
In Beyond Earth, my co-author and I solved these puzzles by proposing a destination where colonists could support themselves on the surface with technology not much beyond our current capabilities. Our destination is Titan, a moon of Saturn with a thick nitrogen atmosphere and essentially limitless supplies of energy and water.
Getting there safely would require building fast propulsion that has only just been conceived of, but not something beyond imagination. We can live on Titan and we will eventually be able to get there. But we won’t be able to do it for a long time.
How long it takes depends on unpredictable technology development. We’re highly unlikely to live to see our Titan settlement founded.
Saving this planet will have to come before sending a colony to space. That’s good, because the task will be infinitely easier. We already have the technology to transform the energy industry. A strong response to climate change could spawn an economic boom.
That’s just what space exploration needs. A healthy, growing economy can power the rapid innovation that produces transformative technology—such as the technology for a space colony—as smart people and companies compete in an environment of wealth.
Cold War conflict drove competition to land on the moon. But that rich battle of prestige was much different from the conflict the doomsayers envision. A world descending into chaos due to climate stress and religious war would not dedicate itself to such a triumph.
Humanity is stuck with this planet for a long while yet, for good or bad. There will be no lifeboat. But we’re OK with that. We would prefer to reach into space as an expression of hope rather than fear.

The massive coronal hole is imaged in the picture above, captured by NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory.
The Sun’s coronal hole is not per se a hole in the Sun. However, it may have significant implications for our life here on Earth. Think of the recent multitude of Auroras photographed around the globe. Last week’s Auroras, an effect of the solar wind that is speedily heading towards our atmosphere, have been an impressive light-show.
The image of the Sun’s coronal hole was captured on October 10th. It shows the shifting dark hole estimated to measure 50 times the diameter of our home planet. At the same time, it is one of the largest coronal hole ever registered by NASA scientists.
Scientists with the Solar Dynamics Observatory explained that what we are seeing is not an actual hole in the mass of the sun, although it may look as such. It is in fact a hole that occurs in the plasma aura surrounding the giant star, due to lower temperatures. When captured under ultraviolet light or X-ray images, the coronal hole appears to be a black region.
As such, the coronal hole, appearing in the northern hemisphere of the Sun’s outermost layer has been calculated to be spewing solar wind at the speed of 500 miles per second. Often, coronal holes, particularly the larger ones are spewing solar winds at faster speeds than usual. This is due to the lower temperatures registered in the plasma aura, the low density of solar material, as well as weaker magnetic fields.
As a result of the Sun’s coronal hole recently observed by NASA scientists, an alert was issued for geomagnetic storms. When the solar wind is reaching our planet, the magnetosphere is disturbed. And while the Auroras are enchanting, geomagnetic storms are also responsible for disturbances in the radio communication systems and satellite communication systems.
The Sun’s coronal hole will eventually diminish in size. However, NASA scientists can’t predict how long it would take for the coronal hole to disappear. Nonetheless, another interesting fact is that the October 10th coronal hole is in fact the result of three smaller coronal holes coming together. The three smaller coronal holes were observed on October 8th.

Tamarack Active Winglets is currently the only aerodynamic technology on the market which can reduce aircraft climbing time and fuel consumption, without significant structural changes, as well as improving range and stability.
Serkan Akin, manager of CAMO and MRO of the business-control-centre at Atlas Air Service, said: “Being a Citation Jet expert, we offer an Active Winglet upgrade during the regular maintenance slot here in Bremen. By doing so, we reduce downtime and ferry costs for our clients.”
According to Atlas, a test flight in the north has confirmed a significantly better climbing rate and a noticeably enhanced flight stability, which results in substantial time and cost savings for aircraft owners. | aerospace | 1 |

In press remarks on Tuesday, the sources said that the report will include conclusions on the reasons for the crash, based on information and data obtained from the black boxes. The report is currently being reviewed and the final wording agreed upon.
The 58-person committee was formed by the aviation minister after the downing of a Russian passenger plane with the death of 224 pasengers and crew, with Islamist terrorists in Sinai claiming responsibility. Moscow stopped all civilian flights to Egypt, a popular destination for Russian tourists, while investigators looked into the cause of the crash and examined security at Egyptian airports.
Egypt earlier urged certified representatives from the various nations linked to the doomed flight to take part in the investigations. These included Russia (state of operator), Ireland (state of registry), France (state of design) and Germany (manufacturer). Egypt also called for assistance from the company manufacturing the engines, in accordance with Egyptian and international law.
Minister Sherif Fathy flew to Russia on Sunday for talks aimed at agreeing the resumption Russian tourist flights to Egypt. The lack for flights from Russia to Egypt has hit the Egyptian tourism sector hard at a time when it was already suffering due to years of political turmoil since 2011.
According to Russian news service Sputnik, the Russian Transport Ministry said Fathy announced during his visit that investigations into the cause of the Russian plane crash had been concluded. The ministry added that the two governments are still working on a formula for civial aviation safety, according to the Sputnik report.
Egyptian Parliamentary Speaker Ali Abdel Aal visited Moscow earlier this month to inform the Russians that Egypt had already carried out 85 percent of their demands regarding aviation security.

Taiwan’s defense ministry said it was the tenth fly-by since March 25. The ministry was citing records from Aircraft Spots, a military air movement tracker.
The two US aircraft that flew by the southern waters of Taiwan on Monday were an RC-135W Rivet Joint and a Lockheed P-3 Orion.
Taiwan’s defense ministry said that a day earlier, a Chinese aircraft carrier, the Liaoning, passed by the eastern coast of Taiwan. The defense ministry said it was monitoring the ship, which was accompanied by two destroyers, two frigates and a supply ship. But Taiwan officials say that no unusual activity was detected.
A senior analyst at the Institute of National Defense and Security Research, Su Tzu-yun, said Sunday that China has expanded its maritime and air presence in the Indo-Pacific region. Su said the US aircraft were probably monitoring the activities of China’s People's Liberation Army (PLA).
On Friday, a US Navy guided-missile destroyer sailed through the Taiwan Strait. Chinese fighter jets also held drills in waters close to Taiwan on the same day. | aerospace | 1 |

I was the kid who wanted to be an astronaut when I grew up, and when as a young and now full-fledged adult I showed little aptitude for science and no physical prowess to speak of, my ambitions did not change even though my expectations were realistic. Given the chance, I would fly to the moon, or anywhere else in space, tomorrow. I’ve been known to drop everything to watch a shuttle launch on NASA TV. If I could go back in time and live in any particular era, it would be during heydey of the Mercury and Apollo programs. I can only imagine what it must have been like to live through those exciting years.
So as a thwarted space junkie, instead I love all things space-related — space books, space movies, what have you. My favorites are The Right Stuff and Apollo 13 — both the movie and the book by Jim Lovell are excellent (and how often can you say that?). And I also highly recommend the wonderfully dramatized From the Earth to the Moon, if you haven’t seen it yet.
Here’s one that would be the highlight of any would-be space-explorer’s collection, I’m sure:
It’s a $1,500 case, “made from a single piece of aluminium,” that holds the Lunar Rock edition of Norman Mailer’s “MoonFire: The Epic Journey of Apollo 11.” There are only twelve copies of the edition for sale.

Dubai’s police force has begun training a team of officers to pilot a new flying motorbike and announced that the vehicles – which are essentially piloted drones and cost around £100,000 each – should be in service by the end of next year.
Dubai police signed a partnership agreement with California-based Russian manufacturer, Hoversurf, which has gifted the first model to the force to enable training to begin.
Each drone has a restricted top speed of 52 knots and can reach an altitude of up to 5 metres. Flying time is up to 25 minutes, depending on the weight of the pilot. The vehicles can remain airborne for up to 40 minutes in unmanned mode.
Brigadier Khalid Nasser Alrazooqi, general director of Dubai Police’s artificial intelligence department, described the electric vertical take-off and landing vehicle as a first responder unit used to access hard to reach areas. Pilot candidates have been chosen from those who are able to ride motorcycles and have drone operating experience.
Two crews are currently undergoing training and the Dubai force has the exclusive rights to order as many of the vehicles as they want once training is complete. | aerospace | 1 |

The UK's space industry will receive a major boost as a French engineer unveils a plant in Belfast creating 350 new jobs.
Astronaut Tim Peake will today open the facility, costing £5million to £10million, which will manufacture the first UK-built electric engine to power satellites.
The device will be powered by solar panels and used to manoeuvre satellites into position once the rocket has taken it into orbit.
Major launch: British astronaut Tim Peake will open the facility which will manufacture the first British built electric engine to power a satellite
The use of electric power saves critical weight on satellite operations, using one-fifth of the propellant compared to chemical-based engines.
It has been described as a 'game changing' technology for satellite operations.
A Thales spokesman said: 'The electric propulsion allows the satellite to carry larger payloads for longer periods, driving down the cost of operating the platform in space.'
It will be built in the former Short Brothers site in Belfast which currently makes parts for missiles.
The investment will also see centres in Bristol and Harwell, near Oxford, expanded.
Victor Chavez, chief executive of Thales UK, said: 'The decision to open the manufacturing centre in Belfast was made after an evaluation of potential sites around Europe.'

(2015 airborne observatory to observe CMB polarization)
SPIDER (SPIDER is the official name, but previously was
considered an acronym for
Suborbital Polarimeter for Inflation Dust and the Epoch Of Reionization)
is a balloon-borne observatory with
six 26-cm aperture microwave, cryogenically-cooled
each dedicated to a polarimeter with TES sensors.
It is part of the effort to find large-scale patterns
(primordial B-modes) in CMB polarization.
SPIDER flew its initial mission over Antarctica in January 2015,
successfully yielding data, though damaged on landing,
not unusual for such balloon-based missions (but still far less
expensive than equivalent space-based observatories). Plans were
announced for another flight covering more frequencies, but

This is what ‘halfway there’ means.
Every time I think I am done Switzerland has another surprise, another step for me. It is annoying since I don’t have a clue how long it takes in the end. What I wanted was a flight with a local flight instructor and to send all the paperwork. But – surprise, surprise – it takes many more flights to get it done. I scheduled a flight on Saturday next week. My instructor wants to see how good or bad I fly. On the following flights (one flight a week) I need to improve until the instructor thinks I am ready for Switzerland. And that is what I don’t understand. Airplanes need money to fly. Wings maybe as well. But Swiss airplanes need one more thing to get in the air and I don’t know what.
I would like to fly two times a day at the flight school on the weekends. But remember… the Swiss style (slower than possible). The thing is, I feel like I was a student again. I don’t feel like a pilot. Dislike.
I asked the instructor how many flights it will take. He told me there are pilots from the US that fly very similar to the ones here and there are pilots that barely stay aloft. I believe I don’t fly too bad. Let’s hope for two or three flights and weeks. I bet there is another bad surprise. | aerospace | 1 |

The ongoing conflict in Eastern Europe shines a light on the U.S. Army’s strategic focus on readiness and modernization. In its most comprehensive transformation in decades, the Army is simultaneously positioning itself to defeat any potential enemy today and to win on the joint all-domain battlefield of the future.
To achieve these equally important priorities, the Army and other service branches count on the companies comprising America’s military-industrial base. Many defense and space prime contractors and first-tier partners – like Honeywell – have a strong presence in both the military and civilian worlds. This enables us to adapt technologies and solutions originally developed for commercial use to meet the military’s specific needs.
Satellite communications is one good example of successful commercial-to-military migration. In 2021, we introduced a military version of our proven high-speed broadband satellite communications solution. The JetWave MCX is the only SATCOM system that can switch seamlessly between commercial and military satellite networks to provide comparable situational awareness, command and control ability, and access to large amounts of data commanders are used to having on the ground.
As a company that has been providing leading-edge defense and space innovations since before World War II, we’ve seen a significant evolution in the way the military works with its private-sector partners. No longer does the military issue an RFP with exact specifications and wait for bids. Instead, multiple companies are given key performance parameters and are encouraged to come up with innovative approaches that meet the needs of the services, warfighters in the field and American taxpayers.
This new, more collaborative approach to procurement also has changed the way military development programs are funded. In the past, the Pentagon typically paid for research and development. But today, the DoD expects its suppliers to shoulder some of the risk and use their own R&D dollars to help develop new technology solutions and deliver them faster and cheaper.
This process has created a highly competitive environment that encourages innovation, collaboration and risk-sharing by the military and its industry partners. We believe this new procurement framework is ideal because companies are no longer simply responding to government specifications. Instead, we can unleash our world-class engineering teams to develop the best products, services and software solutions today’s technology will enable.
When it launched the Future Long-Range Assault Aircraft (FLRAA) as part of the Future Vertical Lift (FVL) program, the Army established performance requirements for operational attributes like combat radius, cruise speed, internal and external payload, and cost. They left it up to competing teams of defense contractors to figure out how to meet or exceed those requirements for the aircraft and its major systems, like propulsion engines. For example, Team DEFIANT X – led by Lockheed Martin Sikorsky and Boeing – chose Honeywell’s groundbreaking HTS7500 engine to power its entry in the competition because it enables the helicopter to achieve the Army’s desired attributes.
In another example of collaboration, Honeywell is working closely with the Army and Boeing to help extend the service life of the CH-47 Chinook helicopter. Honeywell is now testing the latest version of the T55 turboshaft engine, which could enable the CH-47 to fly farther and carry more weight under challenging operating conditions than at any time in the aircraft’s 60-year history.
As a first-tier supplier on many programs like these, Honeywell sees the value in forming more collaborative partnerships with the military, prime contractors and other partners. Together, we can help the services solve their most vexing technology challenges. We have seen firsthand how this approach can accelerate the development timeline to put the best solution in the hands of American warfighters so they can win now and win in the future.

ACH is highlighting its success in the yachting industry Oct. 30-Nov. 3 at the annual Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, where it will display a privately owned ACH145 helicopter managed by Starspeed, part of the Luxaviation group.
“Yacht owners want safe, reliable, powerful helicopters to transport them to and from destinations around the world,” said Gary Butcher, commercial director for Starspeed, which manages corporate and VIP helicopters throughout Europe and the Americas. “ACH is producing aircraft that checks all of these needs.”
In recent years, the twin-engine ACH145 has emerged as the clear favorite among yacht owners, thanks to its compact footprint and spacious cabin that can comfortably carry up to nine passengers. Boasting a smooth and quiet ride, the aircraft blends impressive performance with stylish comfort.
Yacht owners are taking notice. Charlotte Pedersen, CEO of Luxaviation Helicopters said large yacht owners are increasingly looking to acquire helicopters, particularly those made by ACH. Luxaviation manages 11 helicopters onboard yachts, including seven ACH145s.
“Owning a large yacht is the ultimate freedom. You can go almost wherever you want, whenever you want,” Pedersen said. “But with a helicopter onboard you are not limited at all. You can truly go wherever you want, whenever you want.”
For yacht owners, that could mean soaring over traffic-tangled city streets, flying across the Caribbean Sea or landing at a secluded mountain chalet for a day of skiing.
The ACH145 is highly reliable and requires little maintenance, making it an ideal choice for such globetrotting. It excels in hot and high conditions, useful for flying in the desert or mountainous terrain. The newest version of the ACH145 adds an innovative five-bladed rotor, increasing the useful load of the helicopter while improving reliability and ride comfort. Additionally, it is IFR-certified, enabling pilots to fly the aircraft in bad weather or low visibility.
“ACH is both intuitive and ahead of the game,” Pedersen said. “A helicopter should work around you, making your life easier, making travel more convenient and even opening up possibilities you had not previously thought of.”
For Starspeed, the latest ACH145 is helping to redefine the yachting industry.
“Yacht owners used to just sit on their boat in the south of France or the Mediterranean. But customers today want experiences,” Butcher said. “They want to travel the world, and ACH allows them to do that.” | aerospace | 1 |

Los Angeles Times
Information from the Airbus A300's flight-data recorder showed three rapid sideways movements after Flight 587 crossed the wakes of a larger plane ahead. The movements were well within what the A300 was designed to handle, investigators said. But the pilots lost control seconds later as the plane's tail fin apparently fell off.
"This is a very significant lateral acceleration we are talking about," said Marion Blakey, chairwoman at the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB).
Blakey said the Federal Aviation Administration and its French counterpart are preparing to order mandatory inspections of A300 tail fins. The A300, 91 of which are in service in the United States, is built by Airbus Industrie, a European consortium based in France.
As the investigation focuses on the loss of the 27-foot tail fin — known as the vertical stabilizer — the inspections could help establish whether Flight 587 suffered from a one-of-a-kind problem or whether there is a broader safety issue. Blakey repeated yesterday that there were no indications of sabotage or a bomb.
Flight 587 took off early Monday from John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York. The plane rolled and nose-dived into a residential neighborhood in Queens less than three minutes later. All 260 aboard perished in the fiery crash, as did five people on the ground.
Flight-recorder data indicated that Capt. Edward States and First Officer Sten Molin strove in vain to control the aircraft. The pilots probably did not know they had lost the tail fin, which helps keep a plane flying straight.
The first notable event on the recorder occurred approximately 48 seconds before impact. At that point, Flight 587 crossed the wake of a Japan Air Lines Boeing 747 four to five miles ahead.
Like all planes, the 747 creates two wakes as it flies, horizontal tornadoes that whirl from each wingtip. Flight 587's pilots had trained on how to recover from an upset caused by a 747. Indeed, Blakey said that Flight 587 crossed the first wake without incident.
"The airplane attitude did not change much during the first encounter," Blakey said.
Data do not show the wake was severe — just enough to rattle coffee cups.
Twenty seconds later, Flight 587 crossed the second wake, which was similar to the first. As it emerged from that wake, it was shaken by three sideways forces, three to four times as strong as the movements measured during the wake turbulence.
A few seconds later, there was a sharp jolt — about eight times as strong as those measured during the wake encounters.
At the same time, rudder-position information from the flight-data recorder became unreliable. "The vertical stabilizer and the rudder were probably already off the airplane," Feith said.
Flight 587 began turning quickly to the left, while the left wing dipped at a 25-degree angle, Blakey said. The plane pitched nose down at a 30-degree angle.
The pilot, meanwhile, was turning his control wheel to the right. "What they were trying to do is turn opposite to the roll," Feith said. "They were trying to counteract it." But having lost a tail fin in the midst of a rapid climb, the plane would have been all but impossible to control.
About 20 seconds from impact — 2,900 feet above the ground — the flight-data recorder stopped working. Blakey suggested that it lost power at that point.
Haueter cautioned that it's very unlikely that any single factor is to blame.
"Almost every crash I've worked on was the result of a combination of events," he said.
Investigators said they have found no problems with the engines, an initial focus of concern. Instead, officials increasingly are concentrating on a composite material in the tail fin. | aerospace | 1 |

The Minister for Defence, the Hon. Joel Fitzgibbon MP, today announced that the Government has decided not to proceed on to the next partnership phase of the United States Navy in the Broad Area Maritime Surveillance (BAMS) program.
Under Project AIR 7000 Phase 1B, Defence aims to acquire an uninhabited aerial surveillance system based on the Global Hawk aircraft built by Northrop Grumman.
The delivery schedule for the United States Navy’s BAMS program has slipped and resulted in the earliest possible in-service date for the BAMS aircraft moving out to 2015.
“Introducing such an advanced new aircraft at this time would have caused incredible workforce pressures on the Australian Defence Force, particularly given the requirement to transition the Air Force’s AP-3C Orion fleet to a new manned surveillance aircraft in the same time period,” Mr Fitzgibbon said.
“The Australian Government has taken swift action to alleviate these transitional issues by declining the option to continue on with further collaboration with the United States Navy’s developmental program at this time.”
Defence will continue to closely monitor the progression of BAMS and other similar unmanned aircraft programs. These broader intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance capabilities will be fully covered in the White Paper.
“The Australian Government has every confidence that the United States Navy BAMS program will deliver a very capable uninhabited aircraft. However, at this stage in the development of this project, it is in Australia’s best interests to not knowingly risk incurring the unmanageable workforce chaos that would result.
“Blindly pushing on with the program would have placed a huge and unnecessary strain on our personnel in trying to potentially manage three separate airframes at the one time and I was not prepared to place this unnecessary burden on our men and women in uniform,” Mr Fitzgibbon said.

Dyke
Homebuilders Hall of Fame
John W. Dyke
John W. Dyke was born in 1931 and grew up on a farm in southeastern Ohio, where he established a niche for aviation design and construction after building a prop-driven bicycle using his mother's Maytag washing machine engine. His love for aviation grew when he joined the U.S. Navy in 1955, attending the Navy airman preparatory, aircraft mechanics, and aircraft navigation schools.
During Dyke's service in the Navy, he met Dr. Alexander Lippisch, father of the delta wing, at the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA). Dyke traveled to Germany to study Lippisch's work and then later studied NASA delta wing experimentation work. Dyke has built several Delta models and tested a wind tunnel he built. His first was designated JD-1, and in 1963, he flew it to the EAA fly-in convention in Rockford. He later designed the JD-2, which first flew to Rockford in 1966 and is still flying today.
Dyke has received numerous awards for his outstanding designs, knowledge, and contributions to aviation including the EAA President's Award and the FAA’s Charles Taylor Master Mechanic Award. Dyke's contributions to aviation continue through his support of the Delta Builders Network, now numbering about 600, and his dedication to EAA AirVenture, which he has attended for more than 50 years.William B. "Bill" Finagin
International Aerobatic Club Hall of Fame
William B. "Bill" Finagin
William B. "Bill" Finagin acquired his first pilot certificate in 1955 and began competing in serious aerobatics in the 1980s. His love for aviation and aerobatics helped him develop into a well-respected aerobatics instructor with an estimated flying time of 18,000 hours.
Before becoming an instructor, Finagin received a bachelor's degree in psychology and later graduated from dental school in 1963. He then taught at the Maryland School of Dentistry and practiced part time in Annapolis after resigning his commission in the Navy. Finagin retired from the Navy in 1991 as a two-star Admiral.
Finagin has achieved a lot since he earned his pilot certificate. He is an EAA and IAC government relations representative, an original aerobatic competency evaluator and committee member appointed by the FAA, the owner of Dent Air Ltd., and has been a Pitts authorized dealer for 30 years. He's trained more than 600 people through the entire range of spins, giving him more than 10,000 hours as a Pitts instructor. Many of his students became astronauts, and one joined the Mission of Naval Air Training Command.Mike Loehle
Ultralight Hall of Fame
After Mike Loehle soloed at age 16, he fell in love with ultralight flying, which inspired him to participate in the Civil Air Patrol and attend the Air Force Academy in Colorado. Loehle has been an ultralight pilot since 1976, when he attended his first EAA fly-in convention and developed an interest in the aircraft. After visiting Oshkosh, Loehle purchased an Easy Riser and went on to design a tail and landing gear to stabilize it. During this time, he began to design engine mounts and operated an ultralight business, first from his parents' basement and then in a T-hangar at Bowman Field in Louisville, Kentucky.
Loehle contributed to the "5151" Mustang by turning his idea of an ultralight P-51 Mustang into a flying machine and introduced the prototype at Oshkosh in 1985. It was a huge influence in the growth of ultralight aviation. He has manufactured aircraft kits for 28 years, including props, and has also developed a complete paint line. His designs are built and flown in 20 countries.
Loehle has received many awards, including Grand Champion Ultralight and Outstanding Craftsmanship at EAA AirVenture, Most Innovative Modifications at Sun 'n Fun, and the LAMA President's Award.Connie Bowlin
Warbirds of America Hall of Fame
After completing studies at Winston-Salem Business College in 1970, Connie Bowlin began her aviation career as a Delta Airlines flight attendant. During her time with Delta, she obtained her private, commercial, and airline transport pilot certificates and multiengine and instrument ratings. She became the fourth female pilot hired by Delta and one of the first 50 women pilots hired by a major commercial airline.
Bowlin flew as a second officer on the Boeing 727 and as a copilot on the DC-9 and Boeing 767/757 before eventually moving to captain on the DC-9. In 2003, she retired as a Boeing-767/757 captain. She not only flew commercial aircraft but warbirds as well. She has enjoyed flying the P-51 Mustang and EAA's B-17. She has more than 17,000 hours of flying time in more than 70 different aircraft.
Her involvement with warbirds, aviation history, and aviation friendships inspired her to co-found AviationAutographs.com. She has also become one of the driving forces behind EAA's popular Warbirds in Review program at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh. In 1998, Bowlin was honored as an Eagle at the Gathering of Eagles and remains an inspiration to both female and male pilots.Joan E. Mace
National Association of Flight Instructors Hall of Fame
Joan E. Mace
Joan E. Mace has 65 years of aviation experience and started flight instructing in 1946 at Ohio University Airport in Athens, Ohio. After graduating from high school, she left for Columbus, Ohio, developing a strong interest in aviation at Curtiss-Wright, a major aircraft manufacturer that contributed greatly to the Allied effort during World War II. While at Curtiss-Wright, Mace was responsible for checking landing gear, rivets, and flaring panels. Later, the U.S. Army Air Forces accepted her for Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP) training, but hostilities ended and she never took part in the war effort. As many World War II veterans returned to college, Mace found her commercial and instructor certificates were all she needed to become the only woman among 22 instructors at Ohio University Airport.
Mace advanced her ratings and became one of only 60 women in the country to hold a multiengine airline transport pilot certificate. This contributed to her being named Top Female Pilot of the Year in 1980 by the All Ohio Ninety-Nines. She also received the Medal of Merit Award in 1992, Elder Statesman Award in 2003, and the Alumni of the Year Award and FAA Wright Brothers Master Pilot Award in 2004. In 2002, Mace was inducted into the Amelia Earhart International Forest of Friendship.
As the first female chair of a university aviation department, she has opened doors for women in aviation. She helped create a four-year bachelor’s degree program in airway science in the College of Engineering at Ohio University and established an aviation advisory board at the university.Charles "Don" Fairbanks

This is the news that Boeing has unveiled a rendering of its vision of the future. Are you ready?
This is a theoretical “hypersonic” plane, capable of flying at a speed of around 3,900 miles per hour – Concorde had a maximum capability of 1,354 miles per hour at its fullest throttle.
Hypersonic flight | How long it would take from London to…
Paris: 4 minutes
Venice: 11 minutes
Athens: 23 minutes
Dubai: 52 minutes
New York: 53 minutes
Tokyo: one hour 31 minutes
Cape Town: one hour 32 minutes
Los Angeles: two hours 14 minutes
Sydney: two hours 42 minutes
Based on Mach 5 speed of 3,900 miles per hour.
Of course, such speed records are a long way into the future. Boeing itself admits that any such aircraft could only be airborne in “20 or 30 years”, depending on the progress of the project – but also insists that such a technological leap is entirely feasible.
“We are excited about the potential of hypersonic technology to connect the world faster than ever before,” says Kevin Bowcutt, Boeing’s chief scientist of hypersonics.
So, we are waiting to see the first flight, from London to New York. We hope to get it sooner, not in 20 years, but really sooner.

May 1, 2014 By Carey Fredericks
May 1, 2014, Mesa, Az. - Boeing's AH-6i light attack/reconnaissance helicopter has flown for the first time in its production configuration, moving the program another step closer to full-scale production while continuing to prove the helicopter's close air support and attack capabilities.
Boeing pilots flew the aircraft for less than 20-minutes at low speeds in forward, rearward and sideward flight at low elevations during a recent test. Future tests will expand the flight envelope over the next several months.
"This first AH-6 flight in the production configuration takes us closer to delivering an advanced light attack and reconnaissance helicopter that meets the needs of defense forces around the world," said Boeing AH-6 Program Director Scott Rudy.
The AH-6i is a single-turbine helicopter that is based on the combat-proven OH-6A Cayuse. It is an advanced variant of the AH-6M helicopter operated by the U.S. Army Special Operations Forces. It incorporates advanced technologies from the Boeing AH-64E Apache multirole attack helicopter that give it superior performance over other aircraft in its class.
The helicopter is intended to provide close-air support for land-based forces and serve as an attack platform for destroying tanks, armoured vehicles and fortifications.

She recalled that "the engines will be used on American Atlas-5 missiles until the United States develops and certifies its own new engine." RD-180 is used in the first stage of American launch vehicles.
Previously, Senator McCain stated with regret that Congress had to lift the ban on the purchase of RD-180 engines in 2016, which is why "Putin will receive tens of millions of dollars."
The agency recalls that in 2014, the House of Representatives "adopted the amendment of Senator John McCain as an anti-Russian measure on events in Ukraine, which provides for the United States to completely abandon the RD-180 rocket engines." An exception was made only for the ULA consortium, which concluded a contract with NPO Energomash before 2019.
The development of its own engine from the US budget was allocated $ 220 million. | aerospace | 1 |
