Spokesman Luke Punzenberger said in an emailed statement that Flight 1074 returned after takeoff Monday evening. He says local law enforcement met the aircraft at the gate and detained the passenger. His statement did not provide further details about what happened on board the Boeing 737. Airport spokeswoman Kimberly Gibbs said the passenger was taken to a local hospital for evaluation. She said she did not know what happened on the flight.
Gibbs said early Tuesday that the flight was preparing to take off again for Denver International Airport.

|Alan Shepard’s contraband six-iron and the only golf shot on the moon. Before climbing back into the lunar module, Shepard took out of his suit pocket "a little white pellet that’s familiar to millions of Americans" – a golf ball – and dropped it on the surface. Then, using the handle for the contingency sample return container, to which was attached "a genuine six-iron," he took a couple of one-handed swings. He missed with the first, but connected with the second. The ball, he reported, sailed for "miles and miles."
NASA has teamed up with two universities to study ways to reduce the adverse effects of space travel has on astronauts’ physical heath.
This month scientists are conducting a pilot study at NASA’s Ames Research Center, Moffett Field, Calif., on the 20-G centrifuge, a machine that creates artificial gravity forces by spinning and that can simulate up to 20 times the normal forces of gravity we experience on Earth.
"The 20-G Centrifuge is our largest facility certified for use by humans," said Jeff Smith, a manager in the Life Sciences Division at Ames. "Its capabilities make it a unique NASA resource and a very versatile research tool that is ideal for developing health-maintenance activities for astronauts."
Research conducted using the 20-G centrifuge helps scientists understand how astronauts cope with long-term exposure to the low gravity of space or other planets and readjust to Earth’s gravity, when they return home. Scientists at NASA, the University of Kentucky in Lexington and Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tenn., will study the effects of exercise and artificial gravity on cardiovascular responses and fluid shifts within the body.
"At Ames Research Center, the existing facilities we use to learn how space affects humans have a long history of productivity that includes work done from Mercury to space station and space shuttle programs," said Dr. Yvonne Cagle, NASA astronaut-scientist liaison, and project study scientist. "Researchers and collaborating investigators continue to produce a wealth of knowledge concerning astronaut and civilian health issues," she added.
The research is expected to help determine what combinations of exercise and exposure to increased gravity effectively counters the changes that occur during space travel.
"While in space, astronauts experience heart and blood vessel changes, decreased bone strength, loss of muscle mass, and shifts in fluids within their bodies," said Ames’ exercise physiologist and study scientist, Fritz Moore. "This does not immediately harm the astronauts, but it may complicate longer space travel and make the return to Earth difficult."
|The Human Powered Centrifuge (HPC) was developed as a research tool to provide exercise and gravitational forces (up to 5 G) simultaneously using only human effort. The HPC is powered with a pedal mechanism and is used to obtain physiological, psychological, and human performance data for the life science community. Credit: Ames CGBR|
Scientists will examine the effects of exercise on the test subjects while spinning on the centrifuge. Helping astronauts counter the changes to their bodies also may further the development of health benefits for the general public.
"The knowledge we gain here helps us understand everyday health issues such as high or low blood pressure." Moore said. "The changes that astronauts experience are very similar to those seen in people who are less active or frequently confined to bed rest, such as individuals in our rapidly growing senior population. It is very likely that space medicine and geriatric medicine will interact and help us understand the best ways to arrive home from space, as well as the best ways to grow old."
Additional research is needed to understand the health effects of transitioning between different gravitational environments. This type of research benefits current and future astronauts supporting the Vision for Space Exploration to return to the moon and continue on to Mars. | aerospace | 1 |

Obama, Apollo Astronauts Discuss US Space Program
President Barack Obama pledged to keep the U.S. space program alive for future generations as America celebrated the 40th anniversary of the first American moon landing on Monday, AFP reported.
Obama told Apollo 11 astronauts Neil Armstrong, Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin and Michael Collins at the White House Monday that the July 20, 1969 moonwalk was "an example of how Americans can do anything they put their minds to."The Apollo program inspired an entire generation of U.S. scientists and engineers, and the president vowed to extend support to the NASA program so that future generations of Americans might follow in their footsteps.
Some 500 million people were watching as Armstrong stepped out of the Apollo 11 lunar lander onto the moon's Sea of Tranquility on July 20, 1969 to declare: "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind."
However, public interest and government funding for the Apollo program waned soon after, as the United States became entangled in the Vietnam war.
Between Apollo 11 in July 1969 and Apollo 17, in December 1972, only a dozen American astronauts walked the moon's surface before the Apollo program was discontinued for the development of the space shuttle, which was considered to be a cheaper and more reliable method of space transport.
But huge budget overruns and safety concerns kept the shuttle relegated to mostly transporting parts into space to build the International Space Station.
Meanwhile, the shuttle's successor, the Constellation program, won't be ready for spaceflight until 2015 and has been plagued with cost concerns and dwindling interest from the American public.
President Obama ordered a panel of experts to review options for the U.S. human space program, which is expected to issue its recommendations next month.
Apollo veterans urged Americans on Monday to look beyond NASA's budgetary issues and not just shoot for the moon again but to aim beyond it and set their sights on Mars.
Eugene Cernan, the Apollo 17 astronaut who was the last man to walk on the lunar surface in 1972, told a news conference we need to go back to the moon.
"We need to learn a bit more about what we think we know already, we need to establish bases, put new telescopes on the moon, get prepared to go to Mars. Because the ultimate goal is to go to Mars," Cernan said.
Aldrin, the second man to walk on the moon, called for Americans to revive their pioneering spirit: "There may be life on Mars and if there is, it's damn sure we ought to go there and look at it," he said.
NASA is currently finishing construction of the International Space Station, a $100 billion project of 16 nations.
But some of the Apollo legends are wary of its relevance to old-fashioned American exploration.
"We've spent a lot of money up there for almost nothing. It's almost a white elephant," Apollo 13 commander Jim Lovell said. "Until we can really get a return on our investment on that particular project, then it was money wasted."
"We opened the door to the future of exploration by touching down on another body," said Aldrin.

At Vathorst College in the Netherlands, 3D printing is offered as an elective course to kids that are interested to learn more about this technology.
After assembling a 3D printer in-class, the students use it to print out parts of a bottle rocket that is launched with water pressure.
This project allows the students to expand their knowledge on science and mathematics with 3D printing as a vital part of the process. Read on to find lesson plans that focus on both a science and mathematical application.
The 3D printed bottle rocket project – Ultimaker
Over the course of 4-5 weeks, small groups of students learn to build different parts of an Ultimaker 3D printer and assemble them all together. They later use the 3D printer to design and develop parts for their bottle rocket project. By offering the 3D printing class as an elective course, the students taking part in it are motivated and eager to learn more about 3D printing and design.
The bottle rocket project revolves around designing specific parts of the rocket. The shape of the wings and the sharpness of the nose cone all influence the flight the rocket will make, and thus need to be considered.
After designing all the parts, the rocket is assembled and launched. It is a fun and inclusive project, with many opportunities to link it to mathematics and science.

Mars 1969B, or Mars 2M No.522, was launched by the Soviet Union onboard a Proton rocket on April 2nd, 1969. The goal of the spacecraft was to take pictures of the Red Planet with a variety of cameras onboard, as well as take other readings with scientific instruments.
However, moments after launch, an engine caught fire and the rocket came back down on the launch complex less than a minute after takeoff. The fuel leak and rocket debris actually blocked the people working on the launch from getting out for a time. This, along with the failure of Mars 1969A, meant that the Soviets could send attempt to send no more probes to Mars for a couple more years. Meanwhile, the United States saw mostly success with their Mariner program to Mars. | aerospace | 1 |

This is the latest in a series of embarrassments for Nasa, at a time when it faces budgetary cuts and its workforce is threatened with far- reaching redundancy. The public, too, is becoming increasingly frustrated at the cost of Nasa's ambitious projects.
The failure will be particularly galling for Nasa, since the mission was part of the agency's attempt to win back its detractors. The flight was part of its 'Mission to Planet Earth', a long-term project to determine how natural systems work and what is needed to reverse potentially dangerous trends, such as the depletion of Earth's protective ozone layer.
The mission involved 49 scientists from 13 nations, including the UK. From its privileged vantage point 140 miles above the surface of the Earth, a camera the size of a bus was to take some of the most eye-catching snapshots the world has seen.
The camera, nestling in Endeavour's payload, was designed to bounce radar beams to Earth and back, catching reflected beams carrying an imprint of features of the planet that are usually hidden. Its beams can peer through clouds and deep into the oceans. Rock formations hidden by vegetation would have revealed themselves to its powerful eye, even after nightfall. The dollars 380m ( pounds 250m) camera, known as the Space Radar Laboratory, is the most powerful civilian radar flown in space.
The mission was the second of two flights, the first of which took place in April. The shuttle was to fly along exactly the same orbit as that taken in April, capturing shots of what Nasa calls the Spring and Summer Earth (at least in the northern hemisphere) so scientists could compare the two. Timing is crucial now. A protracted delay would devalue these comparisons.
There have been four previous last-minute engine failures on the shuttle launch pad, but these were all within a few seconds of launch time. They were all eventually established as sensor problems, with faulty sensors indicating that valves had not closed, when in fact they had.
Preliminary reports suggest that yesterday saw the first accurate sensor response. Two sensors separately gave readings of very high temperatures.
The turbo pump that failed was in one of the shuttle's three liquid engines. The turbo pumps sit one on each side of the system. They are among the most crucial components on board, and are usually changed after only two flights, but overhauled each time the shuttle flies. 'Every time an engineer maintains these, the risks are higher of someone making a mistake,' Steven Young, editor of Astronomy Now, said yesterday.
The pumps are designed to send super-chilled liquid hydrogen and oxygen into the combustion chamber, acting like a fuel injector in a car engine.
The turbo pumps spin at 28,000 revolutions per minute. This creates the potentially explosive scenario of hot chunks of metal spinning in a liquid oxygen environment.
Nasa's best option now is to swap Endeavour's engines for a fresh set. This will take several weeks. If the set that is taken off has a generic fault, the agency's engineers will also have to ensure this is corrected in the new set.

Beth Hagenauer from Dryden has defined supercruise as an ability to fly supersonically without using afterburner; USAF Flight Test Center at Edward Air Force Base defines supersonic speeds as being above Mach 1, without regard for transonic region (which is different for all aircraft – F-16s transonic region is from Mach 0,9 to Mach 1,1, and Gripen’s is even narrower). According to this definition, list of supercruisers is quite long. English Electric Lightning prototype exceeded Mach 1 on dry thrust on August 11, 1954, and could achieve Mach 1,22 without reheat. Term “supercruise” was actually first applied to the Lightning. Mirage IIIO with Avon engine was able to reach Mach 1,3 in 1962. F-104 Starflighter was capable of maintaining Mach 1,1 in level flight in military power, and in fact could maintain it for 15 minutes. A clean F-16 (that is, no external stores except two missiles at wingtip stations) can cruise at Mach 1,1. With 6 missiles, Gripen C can cruise at Mach 1,1, Gripen E at Mach 1,3, Rafale C at Mach 1,4, Typhoon at Mach 1,5. F-22 with 8 missiles can cruise at Mach 1,7. Tornado F3 is also capable of supercruise. As it can be seen, supercruise is nothing new or special.
But just the ability to fly at supersonic speed without afterburner is not enough if it does not give an operational advantage. Two to one advantage in cruise (or maximum) speed is of no use if it only lasts for half a minute. Therefore a fighter aircraft has to be able to achieve a supersonic flight for a useful period of time with standard air-to-air load, regardless of wether it is done with or without the afterburner (even though many take form over the function and state that supersonic flight without reheat is automatically supercruise). Necessary supersonic cruise performance has been defined here as 20+ minutes of supersonic patrol after a 200+ mile (322+ km) subsonic leg to the enemy territory. This should also include combat.
Efficient supersonic flight at high altitude (above 50.000 feet) requires engines to be in a low afterburner. Fuel fraction required for effective supercruise is over 40 per cent.
Supercruise capability is important in several aspects of air to air combat. First is the fact that fighters cruise at their maximum cruise speed when in the combat zone. Higher cruise speed allows pilot to surprise the enemy by approaching him from the rear, zone of poorest detection, and to avoid getting surprised by a slower-cruising opponent. It also allows the fighter to choose a time and place of engagement.
In the beyond visual range combat, supercruise capability increases range of the missile shot, and reduces the effective range of adversary’s missiles. If pilot decides to pursue a merge or a visual-range attack pass, its excess kinetic energy again allows it to dictate terms of the engagement. It can also offset a possible situational awareness disadvantage – knowing where the enemy is is of little use if you can’t engage him. In fact, it could be easily possible that supercruise, not radar stealth, is the main advantage of the F-22 over the US legacy fighters – chase fighters were not able to keep up with the F-22, and modest 20 degree heading changes caused teen fighters to abort intercepts, having exhausted fuel supply.
Comparing some of supercruising fighters
F-22s maximum supercruise speed is greater than Mach 1,4, most likely between Mach 1,5 and 1,7. While F-22 isn’t any more stealthy than the F-117, its higher cruise speed compresses the enemy’s OODA loop.
At 30.000 feet, range for the F-22 is 0,02 nautic miles per lb of fuel at Mach 1,5 (1.636,5 kph; 589 kts), and 0,066 nautic miles per lb at Mach 0,9. 20 minutes of supercruise equals 196 nautic miles covered for expenditure of 9.817 lbs of fuel, and two minutes of afterburning combat uses up 1.377 lbs of fuel, leaving 6.806 lbs of fuel. This allows the F-22 a combat radius of 224 nautic miles or 415 kilometers. Realistically, radius will be less than that as this calculation does not account for takeoff, landing, or climb, leading to borderline useful supercruise performance.
Rafale’s maximum supercruise speed is Mach 1,4 with 6 missiles.
Fuel consumption is 2.250 l or 1.800 kg per hour at Mach 0,9 (987 kph at 30.000 feet). At full dry thrust, fuel consumption is 8.000 kg per hour, and 26.250 kg/h at maximum afterburner. Thus, 2 minutes of combat uses up 875 kg of fuel, while 20 minutes of supercruise use up 2.667 kg of fuel, leaving 1.178 kg of fuel. This allows for a flight time of 39 minutes at cruise thrust, allowing a combat radius of 320 km. Again, the calculation does not account for takeoff, landing or climb, meaning that Rafale will have to refuel in the air after the takeoff or carry a centerline fuel tank to have useful supercruise performance.
F-35 cannot supercruise according to either definition used. Only way for it to achieve supersonic flight at dry thrust is to achieve maximum speed with afterburner (Mach 1,6) and then switch to dry thrust. After that, it takes 150 miles for the F-35 to decelerate to subsonic speed. But to cruise means to sustain the speed. Following is the quote that started the “F-35 can supercruise” hype:
“What we can do in our airplane is get above the Mach with afterburner, and once you get it going … you can definitely pull the throttle back quite a bit and still maintain supersonic, so technically you’re pretty much at very, very min[imum] afterburner while you’re cruising,” Griffiths said. “So it really does have very good acceleration capabilities up in the air.”
As it can be seen, it can only maintain supersonic flight at low afterburner settings, which would be around 30.000 lbf or 13.608 kgf. At SFC of 2 kg/kgf h (real value is far higher as the cited value is for the most efficient – maximum – afterburner setting), it will be consuming 27.216 kg per hour, or 9.072 kg in 20 minutes. Two minutes of combat will use up 1.300 kg of fuel. Since F-35C has fuel capacity of 8.860 kg, and both other variants have less than that, it means that unlike the Rafale and the F-22, F-35 cannot achieve even the barest minimum requirement to be defined as a supercruising aircraft. Its cruise speed at maximum dry thrust is Mach 0,95. F-/15 is actually in similar situation – a clean F-15 at Mach 1,3 would maintain supersonic speed for several minutes in dry thrust.
This quote gives further proof that the F-35 cannot supercruise:
“While a fine bomb-hauler and (one hopes) a good multi-service airframe, the F-35 is a mediocre performer. The problem with the F-35 … is speed. It doesn’t have the capability to supercruise. Speed lets us get inside the decision cycle of the bad guy.”
1st Fighter Wing commander Brigadier General Burton Field
The F-18 transonic region ends at M 1,21, F-16 M 1,15, Rafale M 1,08, Typhoon M 1,05. Ergo, Gripen C flying at M 1,1 will be either just outside or very close to leaving the transonic region.
F-35 is supposed to supercruise for 150 miles at Mach 1,2. At 40.000 ft, turbojet would have its fuel consumption reduced to 1/3. This reduction will be far less for a turbofan, especially one with comparatively high bypass ratio such as F135. Still, assuming such reduction, F-35 would consume 3.696 kg/h. F-22 has a requirement for 20 minute supercruise, during which it consumes 55% of its internal fuel. For 150 miles at Mach 1,2, F-35 would need 11,4 minutes, for fuel consumption of 700 kg. Even assuming 1.400 kg of fuel consumed for supercruise, that is still only 17% of F-35’s internal fuel. In other words, F-35 might be able to achieve supersonic speed without afterburner, but that cannot be compared to supercruise capability of F-22, Typhoon, Rafale or even Gripen, because it can do it only with such a limited fuel load that it is useless in practice.
39 thoughts on “Supercruise”
The other advantage of Supercruise is to close the distance gap quickly and force the combat to with in visual range.
Agreed. If you combine supercruise and jamming, opposing fighters might be within visual range before they even manage to lock on to each another. AFAIK, such thing happened when Gripens faced Eurofighters in an exercise.
I don’t think that in a sense, there are very many true supercruisers.
Hmm … maybe Su-27 variants with their high fuel fraction could. Perhaps also the Mig-31.
Among the dedicated fighters, your FLX designs maybe one of the first, were it to be built. Technically the YF-16 had it been kept in its original form might have accomplished it, especially with a newer engine.
Yes, FLX always had a supercruise requirement, that was one of reasons for high fuel fraction and relatively austere design.
@picard578: The datas i have, for years, about the Rafale’s supercruise are M1,4 + 6 MICAs + 1 belly tank (1250 liters). That should improve the combat radius.
You wrote: ” After that, it takes 150 miles for the F-35 to decelerate to subsonic speed.”
How can you be so precise?
I have no doubt about your method and integrity, but i can’t imagine LM giving such informations?!
Lockheed Martin claimed that the F-35 can supercruise for 150 miles, yet other info makes it clear that the F-35 cannot supercruise (according to standard definition) at all. It was not hard to put two and two together.
As for Rafale, I couldn’t find any info. IIRC, Rafale was supposed to supercruise at Mach 1,4 with 6 missiles, increased to Mach 1,6 with higher-thrust engines.
1/ Lm say: The F-35 can supercruise for 150 miles.
2/ It is said, it can’t.
3/Your conclusion: The F-35 (at military power), needs 150 miles to decelerate from M1,6 to subsonic.
Strange equation, no?!
I didn’t want to accuse LM of outright lying, and I do know how corporate propaganda works (“F-22/F-35 are invisible” – nope, they aren’t, they are only hard to detect with radar).
The only way the current crop of fighters have a realistic ability to get supercruise would be to refuel inflight them shortly before entering contested airspace. Of course, this adds more complexity. You’d have to run a fleet of refueling tanks and keep them well guarded. That means fewer fighters for the front lines. You could also do this with an FLX type of fighter, refuel shortly before entering hostile airspace. The advantage here is that the FLX is much cheaper, so you can have more aircraft.
Of course, even with air superiority, it may very well end up being not so much destroying the opponent through attrition and taking on their top 5-10% of pilots as much as it is outlasting the opponent. That means having more numbers yes, but also fuel, ammo, and spare parts. There have been cases of air forces grounded due to the shortages in those 3.
And of course, there’s the matter of actually taking advantage of the air superiority. The US so far has used mostly bombing and drone strikes with air superiority. Not exactly making the most of the situation. Drones I think will prove immensely vulnerable to a nation state conflict. Even those large radar guided SAMs probably could get a decent kill ratio since they’re pretty much not able to get complex maneuverability in current model drones. That may change with time, but with better technology may also come better IR missiles.
“The only way the current crop of fighters have a realistic ability to get supercruise would be to refuel inflight them shortly before entering contested airspace.”
Or to use external fuel tanks, though calculation I did recently on a forum suggested that Gripen NG might have useful supersonic endurance even on the internal fuel. Rafale should also have it, but not at its maximum supercruise speed.
“And of course, there’s the matter of actually taking advantage of the air superiority.”
Yeah, USAF never realized that its main mission is supporting the Army.
“Or to use external fuel tanks, though calculation I did recently on a forum suggested that Gripen NG might have useful supersonic endurance even on the internal fuel. Rafale should also have it, but not at its maximum supercruise speed.”
Downside to that is that you get fewer missiles. There are modest gains to range though (drop tanks add drag, that’s the issue).
“Yeah, USAF never realized that its main mission is supporting the Army.”
Not so much they did not realize as much as it is willful ignorance. They do not want to appreciate the truth – that air power has limits.
“Not so much they did not realize as much as it is willful ignorance. They do not want to appreciate the truth – that air power has limits.”
Precisely. I think it actually has to do with inter-service rivalry and prestige – if USAF were to admit that their main mission is supporting the Army, they would have to give up many wasteful projects, such as the F-35 and the Next Generation Bomber.
It is more than that… the Air Force has gone on the record as saying that they can do everything that the Navy and that the country does not need a Navy… hard to believe but I would not exclude alcohol as impairing the judgment of these Air Force generals…
Plus other peccadillos…
Too friendly with contractors…
And these are just the ones that got caught.
I’d say that part of it is due to the “up-or-out” policy, part of it due to a connection between military and contractors, part due to too top-heavy military and part due to the military itself being too large. And these parts seem to reinforce each another.
I do not know what you thought about the Air Force General getting drunk in Russia and staying drunk full time through the conferences and night life over there after but it sent waves thought the establishment. What image would the Russians have developed of him as well as the service.
Ditto for the admiral stealing gambling chips as well as the Army Generals affairs with women, etc. It is just one scandal after another.
Also a squad of Navy contracting senior officers in Malaya where involved in another one…
And that is us here. Can you imagine the abuses going on with the Indians and Chinese????
The thing is, the US DoD is never going to address the underlying causes of all of this corruption, the closeness with defense contractors, the wasteful spending, and the other problems. They want to keep the money flowing.
Yeah, I know. Sweden took a good approach with Gripen – SAAB actually had to deliver a good aircraft or they would have bought a foreign design to replace Viggens (F-16, I think).
Apparently, there were originally plans to make the F-35 nuclear capable. They may be avoiding that for cost reasons though:
I think it’s a reflection of the true intentions of the F-35, as a bomber.
Off topic, but you might want to check this out:

It’s an update on the US next generation of ballistic missile submarines. Little is known about how much it’s going to actually cost, but in 2011, there were rumors that it had gone wildly over budget:
On that note, the bomber to replace the B2 goes forward:
Let me know what you think.
At this point’ I’d be surprised to see a single US weapon that does not come at well over the budget. As for the new US bomber, it will be a repeat of the B-2 fiasco. I’d be surprised if they maange to get 25 of these at less than 800 million USD unit flyaway.
Officially, they have just today submitted the request for bombers just today.
But these 2 are worth looking at too. It may be that the USAF has been funding the development of a bomber in secret over the past couple of years:
View at Medium.com
The other is a report from the US Congressional Research Service from last month:
Click to access R43049.pdf
“In the wake of fiscal constraints levied by the Budget Control Act of 2011 (P.L. 112-25/S. 365)
and the implementation of sequestration on March 1, 2013, Congress and the Air Force will be
faced with difficult decisions regarding fiscal appropriations for bomber sustainment and
“However, as potential A2/AD equipped
adversaries throughout the world become more prevalent and more capable, the question remains:
will the Air Force’s legacy bomber force keep pace with sustainment and modernization efforts in
order to remain a credible response to such adversaries, or will they become increasingly
irrelevant because the nation cannot afford them?”
The real question will be how much will this bomber and the nuclear submarine really cost? The nuclear submarine too deserves a look. It’s a big 20,000 ton submarine and there does seem to be a lot of cost inflation.
Suffice to say, no US program ever costs as advertised nowadays.
Chris, the bomber has not been developed in secret. It has been known and reported in the press. They are at a stage where they where seeing vendors and trying to make up their mind about what capabilities they wanted and which ones they could live with out.
This is a very low cost stage in the development.
The use of mature technologies is intended to make the cost predictable. It also speak reams about modern bombers role in war fighting that they do not require any new technology or at least no new risky technologies.
The key question is if any of these bombers either present or future would be able to penetrate contested air space and if not will they be relegated to the role of being bomb-trucks letting their loads off from stand-off range. Just now the ones in inventory are being fitted with pods to locate ground targets just like strike aircrafts.
There has also been some discussions about the F-35 penetrating the air-space and them locating targets for the bombers who would be stationed safely out of harm.
But they must have something to fly once the current fleet ages itself into obsolescence.
Given the state of accounting at the DoD, it has become very difficult to “follow the money” so to speak.
We have not yet even seen the final specs, so I am not so confident that it is only “mature” technologies at work here (and I bet the defense industry will mess that up somehow).
A better question I think is, are strategic bombers even needed at all?
They are not very useful as a nuclear deterrent (they operate in large fixed airbases that require lots of logistics, so are easy targets for a nuclear first strike); nuclear submarines and to a lesser extent ICBMs spread throughout a nation would be a better choice
Their use is highly questionable for any “War on Terror”
Strategic bombing of cities is not a good idea (PGMs don’t always work, the world’s tolerance of civilian casualties is lower than before, and worse, bombing has never “broken” the will of a nation to fight – quite the opposite in some cases)
Their use as a tactical bomber too is in question owing to their vulnerability
I’d say no. It’d be better to build a fleet of smaller attack aircraft, something like what Picard had in mind.
The smaller attack air crafts do not have the range or payload specially for the larger bombs.
Even today the most capable maritime surveillance and strike aircraft is the B-1 who alone could patrol across the Pacific Ocean and has proven that it can field weapons capable of striking fast ships… this is remarkable.
Having a capability is useless if capability by itself is useless. What can be done by the B-2 that can’ be done by the B-52 and B-1? Not much. How many things can B-52 and B-1 do that are actually useful? Even less.
The fuel comsumption quote for the Rafale is at 0 altitude and speed. At hight altitude the fuel comsumption is much lower leading to a far greater radius for the rafale.
Ya, but that is true for all fighters, and I have no reliable data to calculate precise variances.
Interesting post. However, could you specify the source stating that Rafale can supercruise? As far as i know, Typhoon is the closest fighter that can get anywhere near the F-22 supercruise capability. And just look at Rafale engine numbers, its hard to think it can achieve such feat.
Yes, Rafale can supercruise. Even Gripen C can, in fact. Supercruise is a result of having high thrust-to-drag ratio, which itself is achieved through combination of low drag, high thrust-to-weight ratio and low wing loading.
I also have sources about Mach 1,4 written down somewhere, but it’s late so I’m not going to search for it since that wasn’t your question.
With all due respect, the following comment on the F-35:
“Only way for it to achieve supersonic flight at dry thrust is to achieve maximum speed with afterburner (Mach 1,6) and then switch to dry thrust. After that, it takes 150 miles for the F-35 to decelerate to subsonic speed. But to cruise means to sustain the speed. Following is the quote that started the “F-35 can supercruise” hype”
doesn’t seem accurate at all!
According the AirForce magazine:
“The F-35, while not technically a “supercruising” aircraft, can maintain Mach 1.2 for a dash of 150 miles without using fuel-gulping afterburners.
“Mach 1.2 is a good speed for you, according to the pilots,” O’Bryan said.
The high speed also allows the F-35 to impart more energy to a weapon such as a bomb or missile, meaning the aircraft will be able to “throw” such munitions farther than they could go on their own energy alone.”
So this official information clearly indicates that the F-35 is able to maintain a speed of Mach 1.2 for a dash of 150 miles without using afterburners which is definitely not what the author of this article indicates (decelerating from Mach 1.6 to subsonic during the 150 mile dash)! So yes, the F-35 does have a supercruise capability, limited true to a certain amount of time/distance but a supercruise capability nevertheless. Besides, the limited supercruise on the F-35 isn’t due to aerodynamics but due to the engine which isn’t prepared for supercuise (hence limited to something like 150 miles) which is certainly an indication how great this aircraft (F-35) really is – despite not being built to be supercruise capable, it does have the capability nevertheless!
And please lets stop this F-35 “mediocre performer” “Bomb-hauler/truck” nonsense! The F-35 is an extremely capable air-to-air platform (juts like it is in air-to-ground) and for example it combines the great agility of the F-16 and F/A-18 in terms acceleration and turning capabilities respectively!
Even if my interpretation is wrong, it does not make the F-35 a supercruising aircraft. Maybe you should read up on definition of “cruise”.
“The F-35 is an extremely capable air-to-air platform ”
Compared to what?
“and for example it combines the great agility of the F-16 and F/A-18 in terms acceleration and turning capabilities respectively!”
Was supposed to, but does not.
J’ai appris sur pleins de chose grace à vous
Piccard, hello. May you re-upload the quote from the USAF Flight Test Center at Edward Air Force Base?
No, unfortunately it seems I either did not back it up or lost the backup somewhere along the way (had to do a clean installation of Windows a few times since then).
Picard, can you check your figures on the F-22?
I get 883.63931 knots.
Did you take into account change in speed of sound with altitude? | aerospace | 1 |

The move Wednesday by the Brazilian regulator, ANAC, followed similar actions in recent days by U.S. and European officials.
ANAC said Gol Linhas Aereas is the only Brazilian airline with Max planes in its fleet, and it is making the required fixes under supervision to resume flights with the planes.
The airline said it will operate test flights on each of its seven Max jets without passengers but with personnel from ANAC and Boeing on board. Commercial flights will start gradually over the next few weeks, Gol said.
In a statement, Boeing CEO David Calhoun said that every day the company’s employees “rededicate ourselves to ensuring accidents like the ones that led to the decision to suspend operations never happen again.”
The Max has been grounded worldwide since March 2019, shortly after the second crash, in Ethiopia. The first crash occurred in October 2018 in Indonesia. In all, 346 people died.
Canada’s regulator is expected to lift its grounding order, but the response by China — the country whose carriers have the largest number of Max jets — is less certain. | aerospace | 1 |

If you're in a serious wreck, you may not have a choice in how you get to the hospital.
You could wind up being taken by helicopter.
But a NewsChannel 5 investigation has uncovered serious questions about one air ambulance service that flies hundreds of Middle Tennesseans every year.
Consumer investigator Jennifer Kraus discovered what the company isn't doing to keep you safe.
In an emergency, every second counts.
And, if you're critically injured or very sick, a Missouri-based company known as Air Evac Lifeteam says its goal is to save your life by getting you to the hospital quickly.
The air ambulance service has more than a dozen helicopters that fly in Middle Tennessee.
But critics question Air Evac's commitment to safety.
"The company is irresponsible," says Jim Hall, the former chair of the National Transportation Safety Board. The NTSB investigates aviation accidents and recommends safety reforms.
Deanna Moore was an Air Evac paramedic on a flight that crashed into power lines at an accident scene in Wilson County four years ago.
Moore now looks back at what happened and says, "We could have died."
She says it's a miracle no one was killed.
Looking at video of her helicopter as it was falling into the wires, Moore says, "It makes you realize just how fortunate we were."
But other Air Evac flights haven't been so lucky.
The company's choppers have been in at least 10 crashes around the country in the past five years -- accidents that have killed two patients and seriously injured crew members.
Hall, the former head of the NTSB, says, "It's a real tragedy."
He says he can't understand why Air Evac refuses to install basic safety equipment that the state has been pushing for years -- equipment that can help pilots land safely when severe or stormy weather suddenly moves in.
And pilots with other air ambulance services, like Mike Taylor with Vanderbilt's Lifeflight program, says this equipment is crucial, especially here in Middle Tennessee.
"The weather can change on you in a heartbeat. We feel it's important for our safe operation," Taylor says.
And when we asked pilot Robert Carter with the Hospital Wing Program of Memphis, "Would you fly without it?" Carter's reply, "This day and time, no. All of our aircraft are equipped."
In fact, every air ambulance service in Tennessee other than Air Evac has used this equipment for years.
But Air Evac went so far as to sue the state of Tennessee to keep from having to install it on their helicopters.
Bill West is Air Evac's attorney. Kraus asked West, "What's wrong with putting this safety equipment on?"
West answered, "It's an additional roughly $50,000 per aircraft."
Dr. Bryan Bledsoe says explanations like that "send the message that their (Air Evac's) primary orientation is the dollar."
Bledsoe was a flight paramedic in Dallas. He has spent years studying air ambulance companies around the country and is a noted industry expert.
He says it's crazy for Air Evac to refuse to add the equipment.
"It's just what's best for the patient," Bledsoe says.
But Air Evac's attorney Bill West argues, "Our equipment is superior."
West says they're not installing the safety equipment because the Federal Aviation Administration doesn't require it.
West says, "The FAA says we're safe. The FAA has certified us and the FAA says we meet all the requirements to be flying."
But Hall says, "The FAA sets minimum standards." And Hall says why only meet minimum standards when you're dealing with people's lives?
"I don't think it's in the interest of the public good that we would have operations in this state that don't attain to maintain the highest safety standards," the former NTSB chairman adds.
Deanna Moore, the former Air Evac paramedic, calls the equipment "valuable."
Moore says, while Air Evac is supposed to be saving patients' lives, she fears the company may be risking lives.
"If there's a piece of equipment that will make an aircraft more safe, I think that anybody would put that equipment on the aircraft."
Air Evac says none of its recent accidents have been caused by the weather.
In fact, most were blamed on pilot error.
But critics say that's all the more reason to make sure that pilots have all the equipment they need.
A judge recently sided with Air Evac in its lawsuit against the state over the safety equipment.
The judge ruled that the Federal Aviation Administration is the only entity that can police requirements for aircraft -- even if the state doesn't think those rules go far enough. | aerospace | 1 |

The value of the SLA is $12.5 million per month for a period of one year. GeoEye will provide satellite imagery products to the NGA under this agreement beginning with the commencement of commercial operations of its GeoEye-1 satellite. GeoEye-1 is undergoing final calibration and alignments. GeoEye expects to start selling GeoEye-1 products soon. The SLA also includes imagery from the Company’s IKONOS satellite.
Bill Wilt, GeoEye’s vice president of North American sales, said, “This agreement gives NGA a predictable supply of the world’s highest resolution commercial satellite imagery and will give us a stable and predictable revenue stream from the NGA over the next year. We are looking forward to follow-on purchases beyond the current NextView contract and to working with the government in more fully integrating commercial imagery into the national imagery architecture.”
Erol Morey, GeoEye’s NextView program director, said, “This service-oriented imagery acquisition model optimizes imagery collection opportunities for our constellation of satellites. It also focuses and measures our performance, reduces administrative overhead and enables us to provide the most cost-effective solutions to the NGA.” | aerospace | 1 |

By Malerie [email protected]
October 13, 2017 –Pensacola, Fl—The National Flight Academy is hosting two separate three-day Cruise programs – one for middle school age students and one for high school level – over Veteran’s Day weekend on Friday, Nov. 10 through Sunday, Nov. 12. The cruises are designed as an introduction to the National Flight Academy’s flagship Deployment program.
For three days, students will stay overnight and are placed into situations where they must use 21st century learning skills. They will be exposed to a variety of concepts including meteorology, aerodynamics, physics and search and rescue fundamentals.
Students will work in a team squadron format to collaborate and complete missions. The National Flight Academy builds a heart-pumping, adrenaline-filled story line, which brings life to the mission as if the students are in a real-world scenario.
Students will apply these fundamental skills by flying the high-performance X-12B Triad, the National Flight Academy’s experimental aircraft, offering them hands-on comprehension of the principles of flight thrust, hovering and target drops.
The Cruise programs are separated into two categories – based on the grade level of the students:
Learn to Soar is designed for students in grades 5 – 8. During Learn to Soar, students will cover the basics of flight, radar and communication skills. They will also perform a short familiarization flight in addition to planning and flying a series of cross-country flights.
Code Breakers is designed for students in grades 9 – 12. Students will learn basic cyber security and flight concepts as they prepare for information-collecting missions. Students will figure out how to analyze and protect information through various encryption exercises. In the culminating exercise, teams will test their encryption skills in a code breaking competition.
Registration for the Veteran’s Day programs close on Friday, Oct. 20. Each program costs $399 per student. To register visit nationalflightacademy.com/cruises or call 850-458-7836.

Solar Impulse – the solar-powered airplane of Swiss pioneers Bertrand Piccard and André Borschberg – has successfully completed the final leg of its two-month journey across the US.
The plane landed in New York on Sunday after setting off from Washington 18 hours earlier.
It marks the first time a plane capable of flying day and night powered exclusively by solar energy has crossed the USA from the West to the East coasts without using a single drop of fuel.
"Flying coast to coast has always been a mythical milestone full of challenges for aviation pioneers," said Piccard. "During this journey, we had to find solutions for a lot of unforeseen situations, which obliged us to develop new skills and strategies. In doing so, we also pushed the boundaries of clean technologies and renewable energies to unprecedented levels."
Indeed, the last leg of the flight proved particularly difficult for the team due to fabric on the left wing being damaged.
"But this type of problem is inherent to every experimental endeavour," noted Borschberg. "In the end, this didn't prevent us from succeeding in our Across America mission and provided an invaluable learning experience in preparation for the round the world tour in 2015."

The Land activity was not taking into account the terrain height when calculating it's landing altitude and was causing non-helicopters to land instantly when above if the landing area was on raised terrain. This should also still allow for landing on units that are in the air (#13701), although I don't think I can test this with the base mods. | aerospace | 1 |

Now offering an all-in-one app, Insight adds full mapping capabilities to features previously available on its Horizon app, which include an EFIS display using the attitude information inside a Stratus transponder and transcription of radio messages. “At its core, Stratus Insight is a full-featured EFB designed to make pilots’ lives easier and to provide enhanced situational awareness in the cockpit. Stratus Insight’s weather tools were designed to give pilots a deeper understanding of weather for improved preflight planning,” says the company at the product launch. “Think of it as a digital copilot.”
Insight includes VFR sectional maps, IFR low/high en route charts and geo-referenced approach plates. It also includes terrain warnings and synthetic vision. Like the Horizon before it, the Insight includes radio transcription, which requires an audio-cable connection from the aircraft to the iPad. (The app is available only on Apple’s IOS.)
In addition, the Insight app includes weather products with “Vertical Weather Profile, Radar Forecast, and Smart Flight Plan.” Smart flight planning helps ensure the pilot has enough fuel for the flight but also can provide a graphical set of en-route refueling choices. The Insight also has an alternate-planning tool for IFR pilots that displays airports within fuel range and with the weather minimums for filing as an alternate. Also as part of the flight-planning feature is a tool called vertical weather profile that presents aggregated data in profile view along the planned route; it’s a way to see if you’ll be clear of weather at your chosen altitude. Finally, radar forecast allows the pilot to forecast from current and recent-past radar returns to make an educated guess on future weather.
Appareo says the Insight app “supports integration with all generations of Stratus receivers, which provide subscription-free weather, WAAS GPS information, and ADS-B traffic to the app during flight.” New to the app are automatic downloads of nav data. The Insight app is available for download now and runs $9.99 a month or $99 a year with a 30-day trial available on download. | aerospace | 1 |

Positive gains have been made in the following areas:
Low level recency and flight review requirements extended to 24 months.
Sling, Winch and Rappel endorsement certifications and flight review requirements.
Expansion of the 61.040 approvals for flight testing and flight reviews to include a broader spectrum of approved persons and instructor qualifications to place specialist operational assessments within the upper level experience for each activity.
Student pilot recency requirements have been relaxed from 15 days to 30.
Other issues receiving high priority are:
A pathway to allow an Australian ATPL(H) to be obtained.
Amendments to the Part 61 MoS.
The transition requirements for the issue of a firefighting endorsement for those who have previously been active in those operations.
The development of a multi-engine class rating for helicopters.
The input to the development of CASR Part 138 – Draft document now available for scrutiny via the joint CASA/Industry Part 138 working group
Of importance is the appointment of Ray Cronin, AHIA Leader of Part 61 Review Team, to the Joint CASA/Industry SCC Flight Crew Licensing Sub-committee and Peter Crook, AHIA President, to the Aviation Industry Consultative Council.

Most people only see the airport’s public areas, such as the terminal, gates, and baggage claim.
However, more goes into running an airport than meets the eye. This blog post will look at some things behind the scenes at an airport.
What Is The Lan Vs Nor Dream11 Prediction?
|Aircraft Operations||Ensures aircraft safety at an airport, including monitoring incoming and outgoing planes and directing traffic on the runway.|
|Air Traffic Control||Coordinates the safe and efficient movement of aircraft in and out of the airspace around an airport. Provides information and instructions to pilots and monitors aircraft movements.|
|Passenger Check-in and Security||Process of obtaining a boarding pass and undergoing security screening before being allowed to board a plane. Security screening may include scanning with an X-ray machine and using a metal detector.|
|Cargo Handling||Loading and unloading freight from aircraft, including transporting the cargo from the plane to the terminal, sorting and storing it in warehouses, and loading it onto trucks or planes for delivery.|
|Aircraft Maintenance and Repair||Ensuring that planes are in safe and proper working order through inspections, cleaning, and fixing or replacing faulty components. Typically done by trained technicians and engineers.|
|Airline Catering||Preparing and delivering food and beverages for passengers on planes. This includes selecting menus, purchasing ingredients, and packing and loading the food onto planes.|
From the air traffic control tower to the baggage handling area, a lot of activity occurs out of sight from most passengers.
Has BTS Renewed Their Contract To 2034?
If you’ve ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes at an airport, Aircraft Operations is the perfect place to start. This is how an airport works from the control tower to the runway.
Did A Girl Lie About Being Kidnapped In Hoover, Alabama?
The first thing you need to know about Aircraft Operations is that it’s all about safety. Every day, the men and women of Aircraft Operations work tirelessly to ensure that our skies are safe for travel. From the control tower, they monitor incoming and outgoing aircraft. On the runway, they direct plane traffic and keep an eye out for potential hazards.
It’s a big job, but somebody has to do it. So the next time you’re at the airport, take a moment to appreciate the hard work that goes into keeping you safe.
Air Traffic Control
A lot goes on behind the scenes at an airport, and one of the essential aspects is air traffic control. Air traffic controllers are responsible for ensuring aircraft’s safe and efficient movement in and out of the airspace around an airport. They do this by monitoring aircraft movements, coordinating with other agencies, and providing information and instructions to pilots.
The job of an air traffic controller is both challenging and rewarding. It requires split-second decision-making, a good understanding of aircraft capabilities and limitations, and a knowledge of the airspace and airports. A lot of responsibility comes with the job, but knowing that you are playing a vital role in keeping air traffic safe is advantageous.
Passenger check-in and security
Most travelers are familiar with the check-in process at an airport. But have you ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes? Here’s a look at what goes on behind the scenes at an airport during passenger check-in and security.
Airport check-in typically begins two hours before a flight. Passengers must show up early to account for any potential delays. The check-in process can be done either in person or online.
To speed up the check-in process, many airlines offer self-service check-in kiosks. These kiosks are typically located in the terminal near the airline’s ticket counter.
Once passengers have checked in, they must obtain a boarding pass. The boarding pass will have the passenger’s name, seat assignment, and flight information.
After obtaining a boarding pass, passengers must proceed to the security checkpoint. All passengers and their belongings must undergo security screening before boarding the plane.
The security screening process can vary depending on the airport. However, all passengers and their belongings will be scanned with an X-ray machine. In some cases, passengers may also be required to go through a metal detector.
Once a passenger has cleared security, they can board the plane. During the boarding process, passengers must show their boarding pass to a flight attendant. Once on the plane, passengers can find their seats and store their belongings.
And that’s a look at what goes on behind the scenes at an airport during the passenger check-in and security process.
Cargo handling is the process of loading and unloading freight from aircraft. It is a critical part of airport operations and requires coordination between various agencies.
The cargo handling process begins with the arrival of an aircraft at the airport. The cargo is unloaded from the helicopter and transported to the terminal. From the cargo terminal, the shipment is loaded onto trucks and transported to the warehouses.
Once the cargo arrives at the warehouses, it is sorted and stored. The shipment is then loaded onto trucks and transported to the airport. The cargo from the airport is loaded onto the aircraft and transported to the destination.
We all know that airports are busy places. Hundreds of flights take off and land daily, carrying millions of people to their destinations. But what goes on behind the scenes to make all of this happen?
A lot of work goes into keeping an airport running smoothly, and one of the essential aspects is aircraft maintenance. From small Cessna planes to massive Boeing 747s, all aircraft need to be regularly inspected and serviced to ensure they are safe to fly.
Aircraft maintenance is a complex and vital process that is carefully regulated by the government and airline companies. Maintenance crews are responsible for checking every part of the plane, from the engines to the landing gear, to ensure that everything is in good working order.
This is no easy task, as airplanes are incredibly complicated machines. Each plane has tens of thousands of parts; even the most minor problem can have serious consequences. That’s why aircraft maintenance is a critical job that requires a great deal of skill and experience.
If you’ve ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes at an airport, the next time you fly, take a closer look at the maintenance crew. These dedicated professionals play a vital role in keeping our skies safe.
What are Aircraft Operations, and what do they do?
Aircraft Operations is responsible for ensuring aircraft safety at an airport, including monitoring incoming and outgoing planes and directing traffic on the runway.
What is the role of air traffic controllers?
Air traffic controllers are responsible for coordinating the safe and efficient movement of aircraft in and out of the airspace around an airport. They provide information and instructions to pilots and monitor aircraft movements.

Mars Direct: Humans to the Red Planet within a Decade
Dr. Robert M. Zubrin
445 Union Blvd., #125 Lakewood, CO 80228
Wednesday, 15th March at 7:30pm in the
University of Adelaide
- In July 1989, on the 20th anniversary of the Apollo Moon landing, President Bush called for America to renew its pioneering push into space with the establishment of a permanent Lunar base and a series of human missions to Mars. While many have said that such an endeavour would be excessively costly and take many decades, a small team at Martin Marietta drew up a daring plan that could sharply cut costs and send a group of American astronauts to the Red Planet within ten years. The plan, known as "Mars Direct," has attracted international attention and broad controversy, including coverage in such publications as Newsweek, Fortune, The Economist, Air and Space Smithsonian, the New York Times, the London Times, the Boston Globe and Izvestia. It has also been covered by the Discovery Channel, PBS, ABC, NBC, CBS, National Public Radio, and the BBC. Its principal author, Robert Zubrin, has presented it to the International Astronautical Federation congress in Germany, and the blue ribbon "Synthesis Group" headed by former Apollo astronaut General Thomas Stafford, as well as to various US government officials.
- Robert Zubrin, formerly a Staff Engineer at Lockheed Martin Astronautics in Denver, is now president of his own company, Pioneer Astronautics. He holds Masters degrees in Aeronautics and Astronautics and a doctorate in Nuclear Engineering. He is the inventor of several unique concepts for space propulsion and exploration, the author of over 100 published technical and non-technical papers in the field, as well the books "The Case for Mars: The Plan to Settle the Red Planet and Why We Must" and most recently "Entering Space: Creating a Spacefaring Civilization." Prior to his work in astronautics, Dr. Zubrin was employed in areas of thermonuclear fusion research, nuclear engineering, radiation protection, and as a high school science teacher.
Dr Zubrin is a Fellow of the British Interplanetary Society and Senior Vice President of the National Space Society. Most recently, he founded, and is President of the Mars Society; an international organization dedicated to furthering the exploration and settlement of Mars by both public and private means. Since its founding in August 1998 the Mars Society has rapidly expanded to over 80 chapters covering over 30 countries worldwide in North and South America, Asia, Europe, Africa and Australia. In the middle of the year 2000, the Mars Society will deploy its first major physical project on the road to humans on Mars. The Mars Arctic Research Station (M.A.R.S.) will be the world's first fully-simulated Mars Base. The MARS project will enable scientists, engineers and even astronauts to test the equipment and technology (habitation, transportation, life support, recycling, etc.), that may be deployed during a human mission to Mars.

Inside the engineering prototype's shell is what it claims is the "world's largest" 3D printed rocket engine, which is also designed to run on bio-propane, a renewable fuel source. The rocket itself is made of a carbon fiber and aluminum composite that's supposed to be 30 percent lighter than any other vehicle in its category.
So what will it carry with all of those weight savings? Orbex is aiming to pull off its first launch from Scotland in 2021, and has signed up Switzerland's Astrocast SA as a customer to launch 10 nanosatellites in 2023 to build out a global IoT network. Small satellite headed to sun-synchronous or polar altitudes are where Orbex expects to find business for this rocket, even if we have to wait a few more years before that actually happens.

Tags: OneWeb, satellite
The first batch of satellites for OneWeb's enormous new global satellite internet constellation were sent to space on Wednesday, using an Arianespace Soyuz rocket. They were launched from French Guiana.
The six satellites launched to a 1,000-kilometer orbit, where they will begin a 60- to 90-day test regime that includes orbit raising for another 200 kilometers. OneWeb originally planned to launch the satellites directly into their 1,200-kilometer operational orbits, but tweaked those plans sometime before the launch for reasons that were not immediately clear.
The satellites will provide data connections to mobile phones, laptops and tablets through ground terminals marketed by the company, which it expects to bring online as soon as 2020.
"No matter if you're in a car or you're walking or you're in a plane, from the point of view of our satellites, you're essentially standing still," Adrian Steckel, OneWeb's CEO, tells The Verge. "And it's handing off your signal from one satellite to another."
The new satellites are smaller, cheaper and faster at delivering data than older satellite internet models from operators such as ViaSat Inc. and Inmarsat Plc. OneWeb says it can build the units at a rate of two a day for less than a 10th of the cost of a traditional system. The older satellites also orbit at about 18,500 miles versus about 750 miles for OneWeb's machines, which should help OneWeb deliver data more quickly.

That’s not a typical approach to anything in the aviation world, and for good reason. But for AirAsia’s GX Aviation WiFi deployment that’s the plan, even if it means some hiccups along the way, as were experienced during a recent demonstration flight.
Doing business in China means finding a local partner to help build relationships. Astronics now has just such a deal to facilitate bringing its IFE/C hardware into what will soon be the largest aviation market on the planet.
Selling inflight connectivity packages to passengers proves to be a poor business proposition. Prices are high, take rates are low and the economics rarely deliver a return to justify the investment. But AirAsia has another plan in mind, one that could deliver a profitable version of inflight connectivity on a LCC airline.
For Hong Kong Airlines the future is very, very uncertain. Cuts continue it is unlikely they will be enough to keep the carrier afloat too much longer barring a significant cash infusion and restructuring of the business. This week it is the inflight entertainment system that disappeared.
Inmarsat’s GX-5 satellite successfully reached orbit on Tuesday, beginning its mission to dramatically increase Ka-band capacity over Europe, the Middle East and Asia. It also represents a key milestone as the GX Aviation prodcut evolves. It is not just about the increased capacity, though that bandwidth makes the future plans easier and less expensive to deliver.
The AirFi LEO product could (finally) be online soon. Work with launch customer Atlantic Airways is back on track after an early setback.
The race to bring the first aircraft online in India took an interesting turn in recent weeks. While SpiceJet has talked about its plans to add the GX Aviation system from Inmarsat to its new 737 MAX aircraft other players have been less public about their efforts. But installations are underway to deliver a fleet-wide solution, potentially within a year.
Chalk up a big win for Gogo as it adds Qatar Airways to its roster of connected airlines.
AirAsia is (still) making big moves in the ASEAN region and digital bag tags are evolving to a level that might be useful soon. Plus some news on IFE/C going active and getting profitable. The 2019 Future Travel Experience Asia was a great show and these are just a few of the highlights.
In April AirFi announced that its streaming entertainment solution would be installed across hundreds of aircraft in the Lion Air group. This week that service went live on the Batik Air arm of the operation. | aerospace | 1 |

Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger, we covered a number of things including his recollections of US Airways Flight 1549, which he dramatically had landed on the Hudson River a decade ago, space tourism, the Boeing 737 Max, his father’s depression and more. Here, Sullenberger discusses his military flight training, what the passengers he saved most often say to him today and how to land an A320 on water.
Jim Clash: How has your Air Force training helped you as a civilian pilot?
Capt. Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger: I think in many ways. Not that the military training of aviators is always better than that of civilian aviators, but it has certain advantages. First, military flight training, especially in advanced nations like the United States, is among the most rigorous, demanding and disciplined endeavors that exist. You have greater confidence that a military-trained aviator has been vetted multiple times, that only the people able to do it are allowed to do it, that they have the aptitude, the temperament and the discipline. The military process makes you more that way. We go through a very rigorous screening and training, and are taught to approach flying with a very professional attitude with a full and accurate appreciation of the risks, and of the need for effective leadership. And with a sense of obligation, diligence and a deep understanding that in safety-critical domains like aviation, just good enough isn’t enough. It instills in us a pilot ethos: continuous learning and striving for excellence, always trying to make the next flight better than the previous one.
You have greater confidence with a military-trained aviator that there are no major gaps in knowledge. You know that they’ve flown high-performance jet aircraft, not just propeller airplanes. The flight characteristics between the two are very different. You have greater confidence that military pilots have not just been taught about low-altitude flying but also high-altitude meteorology and high-altitude aerodynamics, very different from flight at lower altitudes. They’ve also been taught physiology about the changes in the human body as we go higher. You know that all of the squares are filled, that they’ve been tested in important ways and have had to prove themselves not only knowledgeable and skillful, but worthy of trust. Those are huge advantages.
Clash: What do the passengers of Flight 1549 most often say when you meet them today?
Sullenberger: They still say thank you. And, as you can probably imagine, having gone through such a traumatic event together we have become very close. My father served in the Navy in WWII, and while he didn’t see combat, he knew many who did. From him I learned that warship crews held annual reunions for many years afterward. Our experience is somewhat analogous to that. Of course, we just had our 10-year reunion last January 15, in Charlotte at the museum where the airplane is. We gathered the passengers and crew together to celebrate the successful outcome that so many people contributed to. It’s been a wonderful fellowship that we’ve had.
Clash: Technically, how does one land an Airbus A320 on the water?
Sullenberger: Without engine thrust to make a more gradual approach to the runway at a lower descent rate, without being able to add or decrease thrust to maintain and remain on a proper flight path, one has to use gravity to provide the forward motion of the airplane to glide downhill. That, of course, results in a greater rate of descent. On that famous flight, I knew when we lost thrust 2,800 feet over Manhattan, one of the most densely developed and populated areas on the planet, that it was a matter of mere minutes before our flight path intersected the surface of the Earth. I just had to find the best way and the best place for that to happen.
It’s a matter of setting clear priorities, taking remedial steps to solve whatever problems you can to regain thrust, if you can, and prepare for landing. Then you must choose the best surface to avoid obstacles to allow for a landing that does not do more damage to the aircraft and cause a post-crash fire or cause passengers or crew to be injured. You also have to choose the proper height to begin raising the nose and exercising the only control that you have over the vertical flight path by trading some of the forward speed for a reduced rate of descent and to touch down with a slightly nose-up attitude. That has to be done very precisely. Misjudging the proper height to begin the landing by might have caused us to land too hard and not in the proper attitude.
You must simultaneously keep the wings exactly level, and start the landing neither too high nor too low. We know from the Digital Flight Data Recorder that I began raising the nose at 100 feet above the river, higher than for a normal landing because we were coming down so rapidly. We were able to do it successfully largely because of the assistance of our first officer, Jeff Skiles. Without me having to tell him, he knew that to try to judge that height was difficult, looking at the featureless water ahead where depth perception is inherently difficult, and, at that point, he began calling out air speed and altitude, to help me judge the height. As soon as we landed, our flight attendants, Donna Dent, Doreen Welsh and Sheila Dail began to evacuate the passengers, and New York Waterway ferries headed toward us for the rescue.

“The flight was incredible in every way! If it was not the breathtaking oceanic and mountainous views as seen through the clear canopy, then it was the pure thrill of being engulfed in the sensation of pulling G’s! What I initially anticipated to be an intro flight, materialised into a series of jaw-dropping manoeuvres and sequences – some of which I even got to have a go at myself. Simply put: a terrifyingly beautiful rollercoaster which I had wished never ended.
As a PPL holder, I found a great sense of privilege being able to feel what it is like to have access to a plane with so much power and speed. To my astonishment, juxtaposed to its beastly engine the controls seemed to require a particular level of finesse.
Hands down one of the best, if not the best experience of my life!
Special mention should also be made of the two instructors involved: Iain for his kind and reassuring nature – taking the time to patiently run me through some of the flight logistics, and Leigh for taking me on the flight of my life and for all the added humour along the way. Both instructors have a wealth of knowledge and are of such genuine and humble nature; an absolute 10/10 experience all round! | aerospace | 1 |

The decision comes several weeks after the military coup that rocked the nation, leading to uncertainty and operational challenges for airlines. While the reasons for the reopening have not been officially disclosed, it marks a positive step towards restoring normalcy in the region’s aviation sector.
Reopening of Niger’s Airspace
Niger’s airspace, which had been closed since the beginning of August, is now open to commercial flights, as announced by the new rulers of the country. The closure had been initiated amid concerns of a possible military intervention by the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) in response to the coup that took place on July 26.
The coup had led to the arrest of the democratically elected President Mohamed Bazoum by members of the presidential guard. Subsequently, state institutions were dissolved, and power was assumed by the “National Council for the Protection of the Fatherland.”
Impact of the Airspace Closure
The closure of Niger’s airspace had significant implications for airlines operating in the region. Carriers like Lufthansa and its subsidiary, Brussels Airlines, were forced to reroute flights to avoid Nigerien airspace. These detours resulted in flights to African destinations taking up to three and a half hours longer than usual, with some flights requiring refueling stops.
Air France had also temporarily suspended flights to and from Ouagadougou and Mali due to the airspace closure. Airlines have been increasingly cautious in their flight routing decisions, even avoiding the airspace over Libya and Sudan for security reasons.
The reopening of Niger’s airspace is a positive step toward normalizing air travel in the region and potentially reducing operational challenges for airlines. It suggests a degree of stability and confidence in the security situation within Niger, which is crucial for the resumption of regular flight schedules. However, the situation in Niger remains delicate, and the international community continues to monitor developments closely. | aerospace | 1 |

Abstract:ESDU 08003 introduces the treatment of risk within the context of the performance of commercial air transport. The concept of risk is introduced in relation to what is considered safe by the aircraft operators, by the official bodies responsible for regulating air transport and implicitly by the users of the service. Risk is classified in terms of the severity and consequences of an event, together with the probability of the occurrence of that event. The term "unit of risk" is introduced to quantify general risk and is seen as either events-based or time-based.
The Item discusses risk as a basis of aircraft regulation and the "unit of risk" as a performance parameter. An Appendix provides a critical review of the Final Report of the Standing Committee on Performance, ICAO Doc.7401-Air/Ops/612, completed in 1953, which has been regarded as a cornerstone of civil aircraft performance since that time.
Worked examples that illustrate the principles outlined in this Data Item are presented in associated Items, ESDU 08004, ESDU 08005 and ESDU 08006. They include an analysis applied to the en-route flight path for large transport aircraft and an analysis applied to aircraft landing distance.

Today marks the three-year anniversary of one of the most high-profile aviation mysteries of all time – the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines flight MH370.
While speculation has been rife, no concrete evidence has ever been able to shed a light on exactly what happened, something that the British Airline Pilots’ Association (BALPA) say shouldn’t be possible in modern day aviation.
The multinational search for the aircraft and its data recorders was the largest and most expensive in aviation history.
Despite today’s technology, it can take a long time to recover the part of the aircraft equipment which holds all the vital information – the black boxes – or, in the case of MH370, they may not be found at all.
Flight MH370 brought more attention to the limitations of black boxes, namely the limited data storage and finite battery life and signal distance of the ULBs attached to them.
BALPA has renewed its calls for better technology to aid the search of missing aircraft, something it says will not only help give answers to the families of victims, but will also give the aviation industry information to ensure safety is improved.
The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) have already announced that as of 2021 aircraft must have technology installed that transmit their position more regularly and do so even more frequently when they are in distress.
However, BALPA says retro-fitting of older aircraft should also be considered.
BALPA Flight Safety Specialist, Steve Landells, said:
“We don’t believe it should be possible, in this day and age, to lose an aircraft.
“The announcement from ICAO is welcome but if these systems are only fitted on new aircraft it will be many years before the majority of planes will have this technology.
“Whilst ICAO have provided a small incentive to operators to retro-fit a distress tracking system BALPA believes that there should be a mandatory system in place that will allow the exact location of any aircraft experiencing an emergency to be known.
“Thankfully, accidents are very rare, but black boxes sinking to the bottom of the sea with the airframe delays potentially life-saving recommendations, and leaves the families waiting on the answers they so desperately need.” | aerospace | 1 |

Ten months earlier, Voyager 1 had returned the iconic ‘Pale Blue Dot’ image. From beyond the orbit of Neptune, Earth appeared as a mere fraction of a pixel. The planetary portrait was captured at the suggestion of Carl Sagan, who was also the designer of the Galileo flyby experiment. The Pale Blue Dot became an instant symbol for a civilization stepping out of its planetary cradle in search of life beyond Earth. Success would require that humanity redefine itself from a cosmic perspective. Within 10 months of the Pale Blue Dot delivering the philosophical message, the Galileo experiment provided a scientific roadmap for the journey.
In a commentary commissioned by Nature Astronomy for the 100th Anniversary of the IAU and published on July 5th, 2019, Dr. Nathalie A. Cabrol, astrobiologist and Director of the SETI Institute Carl Sagan Center for Research shows how, 26 years after its publication, A search for life on Earth from the Galileo spacecraft by Sagan et al. (1993) reveals a fused vision of a future of biosignature detection in the Solar System and beyond that is even more relevant today.

These potential "hull-crawling automatons" could be used to maintain and repair the exterior of spacecraft, using gecko-like "feet" to stay put, even in extreme temperatures and in the vacuum of space. The so-called Abigaille crawling robots worked better in ESA tests than those that used wheels to move; with six legs, each enjoying 4 degrees of motion, the gecko-like robots are much more dexterous than wheeled models.
The implications for space travel are exciting. With the robots patrolling the exterior of a ship, astronauts could avoid dangerous and time-consuming space walks for spacecraft upkeep. Abigaille robots could help to keep spacecraft, and even satellites, in working condition for longer. The robots could even be useful on Earth, cleaning and maintaining skyscrapers, large aircraft and other difficult-to-maintain structures.
We can't wait to see what other nature-inspired robots emerge in the coming years. In the meantime, check out the gecko robots in the video above. | aerospace | 1 |

The quotes around crashed are not because there is question as to if the plane was destroyed, but exactly how. According to eye witnesses, it collided with an F-5E Tiger II. These types of collisions are not unheard of at air shows, and are reflexively described as either accidental or mechanical failure. While I must stress that there is absolutely no supporting evidence that anything nefarious was at play, the loss of this plane is great news to any country planning an air strike against Iran. Read, Israel may have clandestinely sabotaged Iran's AWACS to make an air strike possible. As I just said, there is absolutely no evidence to support that. Still, I can not help but think they might have, and I am not the only one.
Glenn Reynolds opines simply, "HOW CONVENIENT: Iran’s only AWACS crashes." (http://pajamasmedia.com/instapundit/85629).
"Iran's sole Simorgh AWACS aircraft was lost during a military parade Sept. 22, one of two Iranian military aircraft that crashed in Tehran while participating in a display to mark the anniversary of the start of the 1980-88 Iran-Iraq War.
The Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force operated a single Simorgh, a former Iraqi Air Force Adnan. The Adnan AWACS was in turn a modification of a Soviet-built Ilyushin Il-76 transport."

I could do what with her I wanted. You could for her turn fast turns and so although P-47 didn’t get faster than one after you had taken the old truck to trot once. The P-51 had a Rolls-Royce Merlin engine and this one sounded like a purring kitten, this one ran really sonorously. In the fight there was only a problem with the aircraft. If a ball had shot you a hole into the cooling system, you had to change course immediately because otherwise the cooling liquid would let the engine immediately freeze up. As it was also all other aircraft with tail spur wheel to move her on the taxiway a little difficult because you couldn’t see forwards, so you had to drive lurching from side to side turns all the time so if you rolled. But with her let himself be avoided well, we didn’t fly her we carried her like a suit”
USAAF 2nd Lieutenant Thomas Marsters
Originally the North American Aviation received the order to develop and to build a completely new fighter plane from the British air forces. The aircraft could already take off for his maiden flight after only 117 days.
The RAFs took 620 Mustangs and and a Malcolm cockpit hood rounded 1942 became the excellent flight cell by the excellent Merlin engine improved still further – the result was the P-5B with wing mounts to carry up to 2000 pounds of bomb load. After the P-5B and P-51C models were flown in the fight, the first reports reached North American Aviation.
Although the pilots absolutely liked the Mustang, found fault with her anyway, that the view would be impaired by the cockpit and the back trunk to behind and that the Malcolm hood wasn’t satisfactory particularly. To remove these problems decided North American, a drip form cockpit hood at the mustang to attach. With this hood which was already used by the RAFs the pilot had one for 360 degrees round circumspection. The engineers with North American designed the back part of the trunk newly, around him to adapt the Mustang. This model was confessed as P-51D and disposed ammunition of an improved engine, amplified wings and another two, in the wings appropriate machine-guns extra. Later models had a back bladder worm around stability problems of correcting. With a total output of 7956 pieces the P-51 became D in a larger quantity than all other Mustang models produced.
The significance of the P-51 for the American air offensive in Europe cannot be assessed highly enough. From the end of 1943 she was afraided of in a low as well as large altitude and empire accompanied bigger and bigger bomber currents to her aims deeply into the heart of the third party. She destroyed Luftwaffen, aircraft on the ground and in the air. P-51 Mustangs fired about 4950 for Luftwaffen lost of the thousand during the war alone. This is almost 49 per cent. After the second World War became the mustang to ground support missions in the Korean War used and served into 50 air forces of the whole world.
15,586 Mustangs altogether were built. Their main task consisted in carrying out Air Force as escort of a heavy bomber formation of the 8th of England from dayly attacks on Germany.

The Airbus A330 was painted in September by Dean Baldwin Painting at Grissom AFB, Indiana (KGUS) to be finally delivered in Toronto.
On November 19, the first Boeing 777 in the airline’s new colors was delivered from Dean Baldwin Painting as ACA 7090 to Toronto Pearson International Airport (CYYZ).
The aircraft that are already painted in the new 2017 Air Canada livery are the Boeing 787-8, which was resprayed for the initial rollout of the scheme on February 9, 2017, with two Airbus A321s.
Both aircraft types were simultaneously introduced in the new livery at the official rollout in Vancouver, Montreal, and Toronto.
Ten newly acquired Embraer 175s for the Sky Regional Air Canada Express fleet entered service with the new colors in April after cabin reconfiguration made by Premier Aviation at Trois Rivieres, QC. Yet, Air Canada’s first 15 ERJ175s are still waiting to be painted in January.
Also, three newly delivered CRJ900s for Air Canada Express Jazz started service with the new livery in April; those were painted at Muskoka Aircraft Refinishing.
The CRJ900 were delivered from the paint shop on March 31st and entered service the next day, and the CRJ705s will be resprayed starting in 2018.
In May, five brand new Boeing 787-9s were delivered to Air Canada in the latest livery from Boeing’s Charleston South Carolina Dreamliner facility.
And Air Canada’s first Boeing 737 MAX 8 was received straight from the factory with the scheme from Boeing Field to Kelowna on October 31st. It is expected to enter service in December after the certification is completed.

The Israel defense establishment ordered to deploy the SkyShield missile defense systems to Arkia and Israir flights to Eilat two weeks ago, following IS militants attack against the Egyptian military in Sinai, daily Yedioth Ahronoth reported Monday.
The defense system combines lasers and a thermal camera to thwart ground-to-air missiles and change the inbound projectile’s trajectory.
The new defensive measure was introduced in response to concerns that terrorist groups operating in the Sinai Peninsula might attack planes flying near the border between Israel and Egypt.
Last year the country’s defense had completed testing the SkyShield system, which was deemed was successful. Israeli defense tech company Elbit Systems began developing the SkyShield jamming system about a decade ago, in the wake of a failed missile attack on an Israeli airliner.
The terrorists fired two surface-to-air missiles at an Israeli charter plane after takeoff in Mombasa, Kenya, in 2002. Even though, the missiles missed their target, it alerted Israel, leading to improve their countermeasures.
The Israeli government is investing $76 million in developing and arming Israeli commercial aircraft with SkyShield, which can be affixed as a pod to the belly of commercial aircraft. | aerospace | 1 |

Speaking to national Iranian TV on Sunday evening, Brigadier General Kioomars Heidari pointed to the successful holding of the Eqtedar (Strength) 1401 (2022) drill which was held last week for two days in central Iran by the Army Ground Force.
In response to a question about the type of drones used in the annual Army Ground Force drill, the general noted that the availability of drones for the armed forces is a very important development.
The Army of the Islamic Republic of Iran has been a pioneer in both the production of UAVs and the organization of UAVs at the request of the Commander-in-Chief of the Army, according to Heidari.
The Army Ground Force commander added, "Today, we have drones with a strategic range and also a drone with a range of 2,000 kilometers. Of course, we also have drones with lower ranges in our stockpiles."
General Heidari explained the details of the Shafaq missiles and the characteristics of the Arash 2 drone.
He noted that Arash 2 drone was specially designed for attacking Haifa and Tel Aviv, adding that it is a unique drone made for that purpose and awaits the command to start operation.
This drone has joined the Army Ground Force, he said adding that they will unveil its capabilities in future exercises. Another feature of the UAV is that it is a spotter, that is, it was able to hit exactly the same spot that the Fateh missile hit during the drill.
Arash 2 has both seekers and is also equipped with search systems in addition to other unique capabilities that it recovers itself several times until it hits the target, precisely.
Pointing to the Shafaq missile which is loaded on combat helicopters, General Heidari added that Shafaq is equipped with a professional camera and has the "fire and forget" capability, explaining that after firing the pilot does not need to have a static state of fire, which means that after firing the pilot can change direction and go on another mission. | aerospace | 1 |

“This morning, the aggressor launched air and sea-based cruise missiles, anti-air-craft guided missiles, up to S-300 ADMS, at energy infrastructure facilities of our country,” he wrote.
“According to preliminary data, 69 missiles were launched in total. 54 enemy cruise missiles were shot down by the assets of the Defense Forces of Ukraine.”
Oleksiy Arestovych, a presidential advisor, previously commented on the probable launch of “more than 100 missiles in a few waves.”
Meanwhile, Mykhailo Podolyak, another presidential advisor, reported earlier today that more than 120 missiles were launched over Ukraine.
However, according to the general’s data, all 16 missiles shot towards the capital of Kyiv were intercepted. Another 24 missiles were intercepted over Odesa, Kherson and Mykolaiv oblasts.
A missile impact in Lviv is likely to be the cause of a mass blackout in the city, with 90% of households currently disconnected from power, Lviv municipal authorities have said. | aerospace | 1 |

Nov 15, 2023, 1:09 PM
WASHINGTON (AP) — A U.S. Navy warship shot down a drone that was heading in the direction of the ship as it sailed in the southern Red Sea, a U.S. official said Wednesday.
The USS Thomas Hudner, a naval destroyer, was heading toward the Bab-el-Mandeb strait when the crew saw the drone, which originated in Yemen. The ship shot down the drone over the water. The official said the crew took action to ensure the safety of U.S. personnel, and there were no casualties or damage to the ship. The official spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss ongoing military operations.
It is not clear if the drone was specifically targeting the ship, and U.S. officials did not directly blame the Iran-backed Houthi rebels for the unmanned aircraft. But the Houthis have launched at least six aerial attacks against Israel since Oct. 7 and, according to the group’s leader, Abdul Malik al-Houthi, have vowed to target ships operating in the Red Sea.
Another Navy destroyer, the USS Carney, took similar actions on Oct. 19. The ship took out three missiles and several drones that had been fired from Yemen. It wasn’t certain if they were aimed at Israel. One of the officials said the U.S. does not believe the missiles were aimed at the ship.
The Houthi are staunch foes of Israel and regularly hold huge demonstrations in support of Palestinians, during peacetime and wartime.

The Agency was also interested in studying interplanetary space and using that information to assist Apollo astronauts during their lunar voyages. NASA’s Ames Research Center in California’s Silicon Valley managed the lesser known but highly successful Pioneer program of solar orbiters. Between 1965 and 1968, four Pioneer space probes entered solar orbit to make comprehensive measurements of interplanetary magnetic fields and the flow and structure of the solar wind. The spacecraft also acted as the world’s first space-based solar weather network providing data on solar storms that can impact communications and power systems on Earth, and that could potentially affect Apollo astronauts traveling to the Moon and back.
The fourth in the series, Pioneer 9, launched November 8, 1968, on a Delta E rocket from Cape Kennedy, Florida, and entered a solar orbit with a mean radius just slightly inside Earth’s, making a revolution around the Sun every 298 days. Equipped with eight instruments, the solar powered probe recorded and transmitted data on magnetic fields, plasma, cosmic rays and cosmic dust in interplanetary space. Scientists correlated the findings from these instruments with information gathered by the other Pioneers, in similar solar orbits but spaced at varying intervals from each other, just inside or outside of Earth’s orbit. During the Apollo lunar missions, the fleet of Pioneers provided hourly updates on the Sun’s activity. Shared with flight controllers in Houston, their data provided early warnings of intense, otherwise unexpected blasts of solar protons that could have endangered the lives of astronauts.
Planned for six-months of operations, all four Pioneers far exceeded their design lives. Taking advantage of this longevity, scientists used the spacecraft to conduct joint observations of a large solar flare in August 1972 with another spacecraft, Pioneer 10, then more than twice the Earth’s distance from the Sun and on its way to Jupiter. Contact with Pioneer 9, launched 50 years ago today, was lost in 1983. The hardy little space probe helped characterize the interplanetary space environment and contributed an extra margin of safety for Apollo astronauts during their lunar missions.

This was revealed by Dr Harsh Vardhan, India’s Minister for Science & Technology (S&T) after witnessing the second test flight of a refurbished SARAS prototype, called PT1N, earlier today, at the HAL Airport in Bengaluru. The SARAS has been developed by the National Aerospace Laboratories (NAL), Bengaluru, which falls under the Council of Scientific & Industrial Research (CSIR) controlled by India’s Ministry for S&T (MST). Echoing, Dr Vardhan’s revelation was the IAF’s Air Vice Marshal (AVM) Sandeep Singh, also present during this second test-flight, who said that ‘The IAF is committed to test and thereafter induct the first indigenously designed and manufactured Light Transport Aircraft. IAF is fully supporting this programme and the design and configuration of the new version of SARAS would be frozen soon‘.
Indeed, this second flight of the PT1N was commanded by three IAF officers from the Aircraft and System Testing Establishment – Group Captain R.V. Panicker, Group Captain K.P. Bhat and Wing Commander U.P. Singh. A further 18 test flights are planned for the PT1N, before freezing the design configuration for the production version. According to NAL, the production model design is expected to be ready by June-July this year.The first successful test-flight was of course carried out on 24 January, earlier this year. You can watch a video of the first flight by the PT1N here:
A veritable phoenix
With these developments and the evidently enthusiastic support from both MST & the IAF, it can be safely said that the NAL SARAS project has risen from the ashes of the prototype crash in 2009 which basically saw the program being shelved. As such, the refurbished PT1N has incorporated several design modifications and improvements over the original SARAS PT1 prototypes. For instance, PT1N is powered by two 1200 shaft horse power (SHP) engines instead of the two 800 SHP engines that were used to power PT1 prototypes. PT1N also has a 104-inch diameter propeller assembly to cater to second segment climb gradient requirements. PT1N also has an improved flight control system, rudder area, main wheel and brakes in keeping with its ‘all-up weight’ of 7100 kg. Moreover, it has now incorporated an indigenous stall warning system as an added safety feature.
PT1N will, however, form the basis for the creation of three limited series production (LSP) SARAS MK-2 aircraft, which will have an empty weight that is some 500 kgs less than that of PT1N. The weight reduction will be achieved in the main through the use of composite wings & greater composite content in the fuselage itself. The SARAS MK-2 will also be a 19-seater aircraft in comparison to the current PT1N’s 14-seat configuration. Commenting on the pathway for the Mk-2’s development Dr Vardhan said that CSIR-NAL proposes to get the SARAS-Mk 2 version initially certified for military use following which it would be put up for certification for civilian roles. Adding to this, Dr Girish Sahni, Director General of CSIR, said that the cost of development and certification of the SARAS Mk-2 will be around Rs 600 crores, spent over a ‘time period of about 2 to 3 years’.
Cheaper than imports
Dr Vardhan, also believes that SARAS Mk-2 will be cheaper by 20-25 percent as compared to any imported aircraft in its category. Stating more precise figures, Dr Vardhan said:“The unit cost of the aircraft, with more than 70 per cent indigenous content, will be around 40-45 crores as against 60-70 crores for imported ones and has far more benefits than what the imported aircraft offer.”

As such, HAL has been identified as the production agency for the military version of the SARAS MK-2, while the production of the civil version will be given to a domestic private company, yet to be selected. India apparently needs 120-160 aircraft in this category, including both civil and military versions, over the next 10 years. Underlining the potential demand for the SARAS MK-2, Dr Vardhan further said:
“SARAS Mk 2 will be ideal for commuter connectivity under Government of India’s UDAAN Scheme for variety of applications like air taxi, aerial search/survey, executive transport, disaster management, border patrol, coast guard, ambulance and other community services,” He also added that, “Its (i.e SARAS’s) successful development will be one of the game changers in the history of civil aviation in India.”
A bright future
It must be noted that the aircraft currently available in the same category as the SARAS are essentially based on 1970’s technology while incorporating iterative improvements. Examples would include the Beechcraft 19000D, the Embraer EMB 110 and the Dornier-228 family which is currently being license produced by HAL. These designs typically have higher fuel consumption and lower cruise speeds than the SARAS design and are unsuitable for sustained operations from hot and high-altitude airfields. SARAS is also expected to have lower operating costs as compared to these planes. SARAS also has a pressurized cabin which is not the case with most aircraft in its category. It can also be operated from semi prepared airfields thereby potentially opening up remote areas to air travel.
Indeed, the upgraded SARAS Mk-2 version, which will undergo considerable drag/weight reduction besides boasting a higher cruise speed, lower specific fuel consumption, short take-off and landing capability, low cabin noise, capability to operate from hot and high airfields, besides lower acquisition and maintenance costs, seems well poised to dominate this segment of the aviation market in India. Thereby paving the way for future exports.

Given that the window of reentry stretches across a day and the object in question is doing 28,000 km per hour, we can say for sure this will hit Earth. (Or rather, some small part of the satellite that survives the burning up process will touchdown somewhere). Two weeks ago Roy Spencer predicted it will probably hit “the ocean” and explained why it is so difficult to estimate the actual impact point. It is circling the Earth every 89 minutes.
UPDATE: This was China’s first space station. Launched in 2011. It has two sleeping spots for astronauts, and was visited twice. View this as a mark of the rise of China. Though it also says something that China lost control/contact with it in March 2016. Tiangong-1 is only 8,500 kg. The Russian space station Mir was 120,000kg.
UPDATE #2: 3pm Watch the LIVE track at N2Yo (overloaded) or at SATview or Heavens Above.
UPDATED #3: Narrowing the risk map. Dr Marco Langbroek
Aerospace estimate is April 2 at
02:00 UTC ± 7 0:18 UTC ± 2 hours. (Current UTC time is 5:10pm, so seven-ish hours to go, more or less.) USA and Australia now unlikely. Twitter discussion is @Tiangong1
UPDATE #4: With the new estimates of UTC 0:30 (Aerospace) and UTC 0:56 (satview) it may have already come down, or not. Langbroek warns people not to rely on the tracking sites which are calculating the orbit path, but will continue to show the satellite for several hours after it is gone. Apparently actual data on the satellite is a bit rare! There are some other satellites which are watching for the infra red signature, but if Tiangong goes down in a remote location we may not know for a few hours. The absence of a sighting may be the first confirmation. People in Ukbekistan/Turkmenistan should have seen it in the last half hour? Does anyone there have twitter?
UPDATE #5: Rakesh @densaer At this point we can refer to #Tiangong1as “Schrodinger’s Space Station.” Since nobody knows whether it’s up or not at this point, it has entered a superposition only resolves when someone puts eyeballs or radar on it.
UPDATE #6: China’s official news and the US Joint Force Space Component Command are reporting that it went down at 0:15UTC over the Southern Pacific (about an hour ago). The crash zone was expected to cover 2,000km, but apparently none of the 7 billion people on Earth saw it. And if you thought you might get 30 minutes warning that space junk was about to hit your town…
Possible last orbital routes are likely along these tracks.
This minute it is over
Iran – Japan – The Pacific — by the time you read this that will be irrelevant. See this map of the location LIVE. (Can people spot this going over?) It’s is 180km above Earth and according to Satview, doing 28,062km/hr.Reentry will take place anywhere between 43ºN and 43ºS. So most people on Earth could get lucky, but we can rule out those in Canada, Russia, and central-northern Europe. Predictions have changed in the last 24 hours because the Sun didn’t send a stream of high speed particles that was expected. (That would have increased the density of the upper atmosphere and slowed the satellite down faster.)

Six Aircraft Already In The Pipeline For A Mexican Offshore Transportation Provider
The government of Mexico's civil aviation authority, the Dirección General de Aeronáutica Civil (DGAC), has awarded Type Certification to Sikorsky for its S-76D helicopter. The FAA awarded Type Certification of the S-76D model in October 2012, and the helicopter continues its envelope expansion as the first models move through final modifications for customer deliveries in 2013.
“Mexico is a growing market for Sikorsky. We have quintupled the total number of Sikorsky helicopters in the military, paramilitary, and commercial markets there in the last five years, and this co-validation of the S-76D helicopter by the Mexican DGAC, paves the way for further growth of our commercial business there,” said Carey Bond, President of Sikorsky Global Helicopters. “As PEMEX expands its offshore oil exploration, we are confident that the fleet of S-76D helicopters servicing this work will grow proportionately.”
At the Heli-Expo industry trade show in early March, Sikorsky announced the signing of a contract with ASESA (Aeroservicios Especializados, S.A. de C.V.), a Mexican helicopter service provider, for the purchase of six S-76D helicopters to serve the offshore oil transport mission. The sale marks the first time ASESA has purchased a new Sikorsky helicopter, and the first sale of an S-76D helicopter into Mexico. ASESA is scheduled to receive the first S-76D helicopter into service later this year, with the additional five aircraft set to enter service in 2014.
Since it received FAA Type Certification, the S-76D helicopter has attracted customers across all mission segments and customer regions. Among the new S-76D helicopter customers are Milestone Aviation Group, China’s Ministry of Transport’s Rescue and Salvage Bureau, Japan Coast Guard, Arkansas Children’s Hospital, and Bristow Group.

The Crew-5 mission — carried out underneath SpaceX’s flight contract with NASA — is scheduled for launch from Cape Canaveral in Florida at 9 a.m. California time Wednesday. The launch had been set for Monday however was pushed again by two days because of the hurricane.
The four-member crew shall be propelled into orbit by a brand new Falcon 9 rocket, which is able to launch the Crew Dragon spacecraft on its flight to the area station. The Crew Dragon capsule has been to the station earlier than, having flown members of the Crew-3 mission into orbit in November 2021.
SpaceX is understood for reusing gear to dramatically minimize prices of spaceflight. However the Falcon 9 rocket getting used Wednesday shall be making its maiden voyage. SpaceX will try to get well the primary stage of the rocket for future use by touchdown it on a barge named “Simply Learn the Directions” floating within the Atlantic Ocean.
In keeping with SpaceX, the crew members will conduct greater than 200 science experiments and know-how demonstrations throughout their 5 months aboard the area station.
However the crew will make historical past earlier than they even arrive on the station.
Among the many 4 crew members shall be Anna Yurievna Kikina, who will grow to be the primary Russian cosmonaut to fly on a SpaceX mission into orbit. Will probably be her first area flight.
Additionally aboard the Crew Dragon capsule shall be NASA astronaut Nicole A. Mann, who will grow to be the first Native American woman to fly into space. A Marine Corps colonel and California native, Mann is a member of the Wailacki of the Spherical Valley Indian Tribes, in accordance with NASA.
Rounding out the crew shall be NASA astronaut Josh A. Cassada and Japan Aerospace Exploration Company astronaut Koichi Wakata. | aerospace | 1 |

I am a drone pilot. I LOVE to fly drones…professionally and to simply see the world from above in places that I love. It’s a perspective that’s unique and beautiful. Even better with an FPV (first person view) drone.
Now, a man from Maine who happens to be a friend of many years, John Veilleux, the founder of Land Rotor Corporation, is bringing “first person view” to a new level.
Pictured above is John with the prototype AAM (Advanced Air Mobility) Sportster. Unlike the air taxis you’ve likely read about, this is a single person aircraft which can, basically, fly overhead or hover just above the ground as it travels (at speeds up to 50mph).
So, how high can it go?
Because it’s configured for the FAA’s Part 103, it is considered an experimental/ultralight aircraft and, pretty much, the sky’s the limit (not really, but 4-5,000 feet is certainly viable).
John recently told UrbanAirMobilityNews.com:
“The AAM Sportster is a roadable aircraft that utilizes LiDAR (light distance and ranging) technology to keep it on the ground, much like a hovercraft, until the operator and flight conditions allow for safe and legal flying. When ready to fly, simply flip a switch and enter into Flight Mode.
“It’s that simple,” Veilleux says.
Along with his company’s Chief Technical Officer and inventor, Ansel Misfeldt, Veilleux has big plans for his company, founded in 2021 and headquartered in Orlando, Florida, where he spends part of his time.
Veilleux told me that his company has made a $700M deal with AeroAuto to mass produce the aircraft. That company is headquartered in Royal Palm Beach, Florida.
PERSONAL ENDORSEMENT: The best thing about John…other than the fact he’s a genius and succeeds at everything he does…is he’s just a really, really nice guy! Very warm, friendly and unassuming, he will literally give someone in need the shirt off his back!
John is not new to flight by any means. He’s been a private pilot for years as well as an FAA Safety Team Rep, educating new drone pilots early on (he was one of the first drone pilots in the state operating under the FAA’s Section 333….the pre-cursor to Part 107).
I should also mention that he’s an accomplished photographer and he did both of my children’s weddings…using a drone at my daughter’s!
On a more personal and somber note, John lost his teenage son to suicide in 2018. To help him cope with the tragedy, he began volunteering for hospice care, helping people in their time of need in the final stages of life.
Today, he throws himself into his business which is a passion for him. Just one conversation with him and you will understand that. He lights up when he talks about his plans to make flight accessible to all of us.
TAKING FPV TO THE NEXT LEVEL: Instead of wearing goggles to simulate being in the drone…he’s going to actually put you in the cockpit of a giant drone or, more specifically, an eVTOL. That stands for “electric vertical take-off and landing (vehicle)”
Sure, there are plenty of others out there working on similar projects, but Veilleux’s plan is masterful as it will include the opportunity to “fly before you buy” in a controlled environment and SAFETY is first and foremost.
INDOOR VENUES: Prior to the rollout, which is 2 to 3 years out, Land Rotor will offer “test drives” indoors….in a controlled and safe environment.
His first location, though not operational at the time of this story, will be on International Drive in Orlando, right next to iFly Indoor Skydiving. Can you imagine…flying an aircraft and skydiving within minutes of each other!
He plans to open a bunch of these locations which will allow people to take a (tethered) drone flight, safely, indoors!
Here’s Land Rotor Corporation’s mission statement:
Land Rotor Corporation is a company founded upon strong integrity, where straight forward honest business practices are a prerequisite in everything we do. Our culture is simple. We work steady. We learn. We grow. We encourage one another. We achieve extraordinary results with passion and belief in what we are doing. Nothing short of that is acceptable.
So, what is Land Rotor Corp.’s blueprint for the future?
According to an article at evtol.news, it is to:
- Bridge the gap between emerging technologies and people
- Keep safety at the fore front of their aircraft and ease of use for the consumer
- Offer the Land Rotor Drone Ride to the public, an immersive thrill ride entertainment attraction
- Train future pilots using new FAA rules for advanced air mobility (AAM)
- Mass produce Land Rotor’s multicopter aircraft to on-road and off-road consumer markets
- Perform the first transcontinental hover-journey across the USA
There is plenty of redundancy in the aircraft…for one thing, it has not four…but eight…motors and propellers. So if one or two fail, you aren’t likely to come crashing down.
Research, including flight data, is being collected with every test, so all of the bugs will be worked out before a member of the public even gets to try one, even indoors.
Does this all mean that flying to work or across town is in the foreseeable future? Likely, yes! In fact, you may even get to see this revolutionary vehicle as it spends some of its time right here in Maine.
So you already know that you will need some training to fly one of these birds…kind of a federal “air driver’s ed,” if you will.
What about price?
The guess is somewhere in the neighborhood of $70,000…but let’s not take that to the bank just yet.
The future is here! I can’t wait to try one of these things and can see myself having one in my yard at some point! Please, don’t mention this to my wife. | aerospace | 1 |

The Indian “Services Capital Acquisition Categorisation Higher Committee” (SCAPCHC) cleared the proposal on June 20 about $US 3.2 billion. After this first step, the deal will have to be cleared by the Defence Acquisition Council (DAC) and then by the Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS) headed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The procurement process will be done through the U.S. Foreign Military Sales (FMS). It is a follow-on order thus this avoids the lengthy process of bidding.
About Boeing P8-I
The aircraft has an operational speed of 450 mph, a range of 4,500 nautical miles, and a service ceiling of 40,000 feet.
According to the Indian Navy, the aircraft are fully integrated in naval operations. And that:
The P-8I aircraft is equipped for long range anti-submarine warfare, anti-surface warfare, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance in support of broad area, maritime and littoral operations. Its communication and sensor suite includes indigenous equipment developed by defence PSUs and private manufacturers. With its high speed and high endurance of about 10 hours, the aircraft is capable of thrusting a punitive response and maintaining a watch over India’s immediate and extended areas of interest. | aerospace | 1 |

The French operator Eutelsat confirmed, Monday, July 25, to be in negotiations for the acquisition of the OneWeb constellation, specialist in internet connectivity by satellite, of which it already owns 23%. Eutelsat, the world’s third largest operator (35 telecom satellites in geostationary orbit, 36,000 km from the Earth), would thus get its hands on one of the most advanced low-orbit (450 km) satellite constellation projects: OneWeb has already placed on orbit 428 of the 648 satellites in its constellation. The British group is, for the moment, the only truly operational competitor to SpaceX’s Starlink constellation, which already has more than 2,600 satellites in orbit: the giant Amazon has not yet started launching the satellites of its Kuiper constellation, and the Canadian Telesat is still working on the financing of its Lightspeed project.
Why this operation? To understand, a small technical reminder is necessary. Eutelsat traditionally relies, for the broadcasting of television channels as well as for Internet connectivity, on large satellites located in geostationary orbit (36,000 km altitude). These have the advantage of remaining permanently above the same geographical area, unlike satellites in low orbit, which revolve at high speed around the Earth. These 5 to 6.5 tonne satellites have two other major advantages: their lifespan (15-20 years compared to 5-8 years for low orbit), and their power. The Konnect VHTS satellite, which is to be launched on September 6 by an Ariane 5 from Kourou, will thus be able to offer, on its own, broadband to half a million households.

Starting in December, passengers flying between Spain and Costa Rica can experience the journey in one of the industry’s most modern airplanes.
Spanish flag-carrier Iberia will operate an Airbus A350-900 on its San José-Madrid route from Dec. 18 to March 28, according to Costa Rica’s Tourism Board (ICT).
Iberia will be the first airline to fly the ultra-long-haul Airbus to Costa Rica.
According to the airline, the A350 “is a latest-generation aircraft equipped with state-of-the-art technology and designed to save fuel, therefore reducing the environmental impact.”
Airbus says the A350 family has a fuselage built with carbon-fiber reinforced plastic, “which supports lower fuel burn, easier maintenance and increased resistance to corrosion.”
The widebody plane “also offers multiple benefits for passengers, such as wider aisles, larger overhead bins, an air-conditioning system that enhances on-board comfort by providing fresher air, [and] panoramic windows,” Iberia says.
Iberia currently operates Airbus A330 and A340-series aircraft on its routes to Costa Rica.

The museum is dedicated to preserving the history of Johnsville Centrifuge and its contribution to the US Space Program as well as the memory of the Naval Air Development Center (NADC), Johnsville where the US Navy’s research laboratories helped win the Cold War.
NADC began as farmland acquired by the Brewster Aircraft Company in 1939. By 1941 a factory was in operation on the site building their legacy Buffalo Fighters and Buccaneer Dive Bombers intended for use by the Navy during WWII. The Navy later seized operation of the company after Brewster experienced difficulties with production. When problems continued, the Navy acquired the property outright and converted it for use by the Naval Aircraft Modification Unit (NAMU) a division of the Naval Aircraft Factory.
When the war ended the production shops were converted to research laboratories studying pilotless aircraft, electronics, and weapons, and the Naval Air Development Station Johnsville (NADS) was born.
Over the ensuing years, changes in association with addition of new missions resulted in renaming the site to the Naval Air Development Center (NADC) Johnsville and eventually to the Naval Air Warfare Center (NAWC) Warminster. More than 31 laboratories would call Warminster home including those studying navigation, submarine detection, aerospace materials, aircraft structures, pilot’s equipment, computers, airborne photography and aircraft instrumentation, etc…
Construction of the human centrifuge building began in 1947 was complete by 1949 and initiated operations to research the limits of human tolerance for “G” forces. By the late 1950s it was in use to train astronauts for the US Space Program. It continued to operate for a variety of projects under Navy control until 1996 then under contract until 2004 when operations ceased altogether.
The museum was formally created in July 2008 with the establishment of The Johnsville Centrifuge and Science Museum Inc. (a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization) to provide governance, funding and oversight.

This V-shaped aircraft design is expected to consume 20% less energy because its improved aerodynamics and lighter weight.
The more than 3 metres wide scale model will take to the air later this year.
The cabin features an experimental design, with four types of seats, including group seating and foldaway beds in economy class.
The TU Delft Flying-V – a collaboration with KLM – is one of the routes that TU Delft is exploring in its efforts to make aviation more sustainable.
The design for the Flying-V was presented at the IATA conference in Seoul last June.
Over the summer months, a team of engineers, technicians, students and researchers have built a flying scale model measuring 3.06 m in width and 2.76 m in length.
The model – a sizeable drone – is intended for scaled flight testing. | aerospace | 1 |

Astronauts on shuttle Discovery were set to make another inspection of Discovery's wings and belly on Friday for possible damage from flying debris that struck the spacecraft shortly after launch.
NASA officials said they think the shuttle is in good shape and not in danger of a Columbia-like disaster, but has a few nicks they want to study further.
The astronauts will use a laser-equipped robot arm and television cameras to scan the spacecraft as they did earlier in the mission.
Videos showed loose insulation foam from Discovery's external fuel tank appearing to strike the orbiter wing, but the U.S. space agency said it has found no significant damage, Reuters reports.
Thursday's first order of business for commander Eileen Collins and her crew was docking with the international space station, which Collins did after putting Discovery through a graceful and unprecedented back flip 600 feet below the outpost, according to Houston Chronicle.
During the next week Discovery will deliver critical supplies to the space station and replace a faulty gyroscope, which helps the station remain in orbit.
Also on Friday, the astronauts were scheduled to give several press interviews in what will be their first extensive public statements of the mission.
Discovery's flight, which came after 2 1/2 years of work and $1 billion in safety expenditures, is the first since Colombia and may be the last for a while after NASA on Wednesday announced it would not fly again until the foam problem is fixed.
Officials said they do not know when that will be. Shuttle Atlantis is scheduled to fly in September, but that mission appears in doubt now, Reuters informs.

Daredevil Mad Mike Hughes has postponed the rocket launch he was going to attempt across Palo Duro Canyon.
There has been a lot of hype surrounding a potentially record-breaking jump across America's second largest canyon. Mad Mike Hughes has created a rocket that has helped him break other records in jumps across the country and he wanted to bring his next stunt to our little part of the world.
The launch was scheduled for this weekend and now it has to be delayed due to some last-minute issues during their rocket testing. Hughes's media representatives reached out to local news and radio to confirm that the launch will still happen and it could be at the end of April.
We hope to see Mike Hughes in Amarillo soon because lots of people are excited about his big jump! We will keep you updated if we find out anything else new on this story. | aerospace | 1 |

These are Great In-flight Photos of the F/A-22 as the first Aircraft Delivery was being made on April 27, 2001 to Langley AFB in VA. Langley was the first Operational AFB for the F/A-22. It is a very Beautiful AFB, located in a picturesque location, as you can see in these photos, near Norfolk and Hampton , Va.
The Aircraft flying along with the F/A-22 in the last photo is the F-15, which will be replaced by the F/A-22 which is several times better than the F-15.
In Actual In-flight (simulated) Combat Operations against the F-15, two F/A-22's were able to operate without detection while it went Head to Head against (8) F-15's. The F/A-22's scored Missile Hits (Kills) against all the F-15 Aircraft and the F/A-22's were never Detected by either the F-15's or Ground Based Radar.

- ‘Notam’ against using Iranian airspace to increase cost of travel
Those planning to fly to places in Europe including Berlin, London, Amsterdam or Paris and even to USA or Canada might have to shell out a few extra bucks on airfare owing to the directive against using Iranian airspace to Indian Airlines.
- 20 Indian flights affected by decision to avoid parts of Iran airspace: Government
India has been avoiding to fly over Iranian airspace since June 22 due to which a total 20 flights of Indian airline companies have been affected. Rerouting has resulted in an increase in the operating cost of Air India Express approx. by Rs 22 lakh per day, IndiGo approx. by Rs 2 lakh per day and Air India flights by approx. Rs 13 lakh per day as now the route is longer.
- Don’t fly over Iran’s troubled waters, India tells airlines
Indian carriers will steer clear of the risk-fraught parts of Iranian airspace which means a further extension of the long routes Indian and foreign carriers have already been taking while flying between the west and parts of South Asia, including Delhi, since February 27 when Pakistan closed its airspace. The DGCA advisory comes amid rising tensions between US and Iran.
- Fares to US, Europe drop by 15-20% as Pakistan opens airspace
Airlines, both Indian and foreign, have quickly begun resuming suspended flights and operating diverted ones on the shorter and direct pre-February 27 routes after Pakistan re-opened its airspace on Tuesday. Flyers between India and the west will now increasingly get more choices for faster travel at lower airfares.
- Flights to get shorter as Pakistan opens airspace
Ever since Pakistan closed its airspace on February 27 after the Indian Air Force’s strike on the Balakot teror camp, Indian flights to the west were forced to take a longer route. That meant greater travel time and a huge spike in expenses for airlines. Now, flights between Delhi and the west will see travel times drop by up to four hours.
- Pakistan extends airspace ban along its eastern border with India till June 28
Pakistan on Thursday extended its airspace ban along its eastern border with India for the third time till June 28, according to a notice issued by the country's Civil Aviation Authority. Pakistan fully closed its airspace on Feb 26 after the Balakot air strikes by Indian Air Force. Since then, it has only opened two routes, both of them pass through southern Pakistan.
- Air India suffered loss of Rs 430 crore due to Pakistan airspace closure
Air India suffered a loss of Rs 430 crore in the 4-month period when airspace was restricted by Pakistan after Balakot air strikes, civil aviation minister Hardeep Singh Puri informed Rajya Sabha on Wednesday. He said 40% of the operating expenses of the airline is on fuel & other geo-political factors & closure of airspace by Pakistan cost the airline dearly.
- Iran, Pak overflying restriction fallout: United extends suspension of India routes till September 1
American major United Airlines has further extended the suspension of its daily nonstops on New York (Newark or EWR)-Delhi and EWR-Mumbai routes to September 1. United had first cancelled the Delhi flight on April 5 due to “continued closure of Pakistani airspace” and the same was to resume from July 2.
- UK soldiers used 'brute force' when they detained Iranian ship: Indian captain
The Indian captain of an Iranian ship that was seized by Royal Marines earlier this month has said that the British soldiers used "brute force" when they detained his ship. The Grace 1 tanker was detained by Gibraltar authorities with the help of Royal Marines on the suspicion that it was ferrying a cargo of crude oil to Syria in breach of the EU sanctions.
- Pakistan likely to remove restriction on air space usage
Pakistan is likely to lift the airspace ban along its eastern border with India in reciprocation to India's decision to remove all the temporary restrictions on all air routes in the Indian air space, a Pakistani government official indicated on Saturday. Temporary restrictions on all air routes in the Indian airspace have been removed, IAF announced on Friday.
- Delhi: Pakistan airspace still shut, pay more for summer flights
Get ready for higher fares if you are flying between Delhi and the east coast of north America this summer as Air Canada has decided not to operate its daily Delhi-Toronto flight between June 14 and August 1 due to the continued closure of the Pakistan airspace.
- Pakistan closes a corridor of its airspace
Pakistan has closed a corridor in its airspace, which will result in an additional up to 12 minutes of flying time for overseas flights, an Air India official said on Wednesday. The flights will have to be diverted to other routes due to the closure. Air India operates around 50 flights daily through Pak airspace heading to the US, Europe and the Middle East.
- Pakistan airspace remains open for Indian flights: Civil Aviation Authority
Pakistan on Thursday clarified that it has neither closed its airspace for India nor re-routed any route for the Indian flights. "There has been no change to the notice to airmen (NOTAM) and all flights are being operated as per schedule issued earlier," Civil Aviation Authority Pakistan said.
- Pakistan airspace closure stretches transit pain for passengers
The Pakistan airspace closure has not only impacted airlines as they are forced to fly longer routes and burn more fuel, but on ground, it has hit transit passengers too, especially those from North India who are booked on flights that transit through the Middle East or Europe. | aerospace | 1 |

Aircraft noise- especially during the night - is an urgent environmental problem. It will become more and more critical in near future because the ongoing growth of air traffic will force an increase of the noise load around airports which cannot be overcompensated by the noise reduction techniques for airplanes currently available. Following ICAO’s “Balanced Approach” there are three different ways to reduce the aircraft noise load in the vicinity of an airport: (1) Noise reduction at the source (e.g. reduction of engine- and airframe-noise), (2) operational measures (e.g. noise abatement flight procedures) and (3) regulatory and planning measures to mitigate noise (e.g. noise depending landing fees). Whereas the the technical potential for the reduction of engine- and airframe noise can be realized fully only in the long term, operational and regulatory measures can be brought in effect already in short and medium term. However an effective abatement of aircraft noise cannot consist just in a technical and operational reduction of the physically measurable sound. Much more it must take into account the physiological and psychological effects of noise on people. In particular, our knowledge of the effects of nightly aircraft noise needs to be improved considerablely. Furthermore modern aircraft noise prediction models must be developed as tools for the development and analysis of any noise mitigation measure: In practice aircraft noise cannot be be measured under controlled conditions without exploding costs. Taking into account all these aspects of medicine, technical design and land use planning a project dealing with aircraft noise reduction must be of interdisciplinary nature tomake sure that existing relationships between different approaches for noise reduction and hence synergy effects are taken into account adequately. Within the project „Quiet Air Traffic“ and its successor „Quiet Air Traffic II“ the DLR has made use of such an interdisciplinary approach - integrated into national and international networks. The paper gives an overview on the results obtained within both projects during the time period from 1999 to 2007.

An unmanned aerial vehicle successfully refueled a U.S. fighter jet in midair for the first time, opening the door to a future where the U.S. Navy carrier-based fleet is augmented by unmanned systems. The Boeing Co. drone, known as a MQ-25 Stingray, made aviation history Friday after connecting a hose to an F/A-18 Super Hornet and transferring 325 pounds of fuel.
The Super Hornet approached the drone from behind, and the aircraft hovered within 20 feet of each other throughout the refueling process, according to a Boeing news release. The Navy posted video of the historic interaction to Twitter.
“Unmanned systems alongside our traditional combatant force provide additional capability and capacity to give our warfighters the advantage needed to fight, win and deter potential aggressors,” said Capt. Chad Reed, program manager for the Navy’s Unmanned Carrier Aviation program office.
Reed said the drone is a “force multiplier” that could more strategically redistribute Navy strike fighters and pilots currently assigned to refueling duties.
The Navy and Boeing plan to conduct a similar test on an aircraft carrier later this year. | aerospace | 1 |

The UK Space Agency responded to a series of Freedom of Information (FOI) requests asking important questions.
Among the key pressing issues were, who would get priority to leave Earth?
It was also probed on if we do find a habitable planet, how would we Kingdom decide who gets to go to the new planet?
And if there is intelligent terrestrial life there, how would the United Kingdom space agency handle this event?
Despite a disclaimer admitting they did not quite have all the answers, there were some stark revelations.
The Space Agency warned: “First and foremost, astronauts would be the first in line to leave mother Earth.
“The selection process for astronauts would be agreed in the initial partnership agreement.”
The existence of aliens has been debated for centuries
They conceded travelling to said planet would be extremely expensive, and could only be achieved through a multi-national partnership.
But more importantly, if a life-supporting planet was found, could humans survive on our possible new home, and what if it is already inhabited?
The UK Space Agency deals with the question in a very mater-of-fact way, and points to lifeforms on earth known as “extremophiles” which can survive harsh environments.
It is curiosity and humans desire to understand the universe
The official information stated: “Survivability depends on the specific life form for example, for humans, conditions similar to Earth.
“However, life forms that are extremophiles as the name suggest can survive extreme pressures, temperatures, alkalinity, acidity etc.
“A web search will provide information on the wide range of extremophiles that we know about.”
Astronaut Tim Peake, who regularly tweets photos of space
The executive agency, funded by the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills, also advised using Wikipedia for more information.
With astronauts getting preferential treatment, the Government was quick to console the rest of us, assuring: “We need to look after our own planet as mass relocation is not possible.”
And in case anyone had forgotten, the document added: “In fact our Sun, which is essential to sustaining life on Earth, will last for billions of years.”
But, they admitted: “It is curiosity and humans desire to understand the universe.”
Despite Britain’s desire to colonise, the Government confirmed it will be the United Nations who calls the shots if we find Earth #2.
It stated: “The United Nations have set out rules concerning visiting other bodies that may sustain life. These are set out in the outer space treaty.
Roswell is the site of an infamous 'alien' crash in 1947
“If life was found, the United Nations would have to decide whether there should be contact because of the danger of harming that eco system.
“Similarly they would govern the procedures for any return mission.
“The UK would abide by the UN ruling.”
The UK Space Agency is responsible for the civil space programme, and according to the government website “provide a clear, single voice for UK space ambitions".
Briton Tim Peake is currently aboard the International Space Station, and is the first ever British European Space Agency astronaut. | aerospace | 1 |

Last summer, more than 200,000 people applied for a one-way ticket to Mars. This week, 1,058 of them were selected to move on to the next round.
The applications — all in video form — were not sent to NASA, or another national space agency, but to a nonprofit organization called Mars One. Based in the Netherlands, Mars One has the unusual goal of turning the colonization of Mars into a reality show with a global audience.
The call for applicants to move to Mars went out in April. Anyone older than 18 was invited to send in a video in which they explained why they wanted to go to Mars, and how they felt about never returning to Earth. They were also asked to describe their sense of humor.
In this first narrowing down of future Mars colonizers, the Mars One team focused on choosing people who were physically and mentally capable of becoming human ambassadors to Mars, Bas Landsorp, co-founder of Mars One, said in a statement.
Those who were taking the mission less seriously were excluded.
The pool of selected applicants includes 472 women and 586 men. More than half of them are younger than 35, but 26 are older than 56. The oldest applicant to move on to the next round is 81.
The contenders hail from 107 countries. The United States is the most heavily represented, with 297 applicants moving on to round two. Canada had the second biggest showing, with 75 applicants. | aerospace | 1 |

As a result, despite a poor start to 2023, the company now overtake competitor Boeing.
Boeing revealed that they only delivered 26 aircraft following new problems identified in the supply chain with the 737 MAX.
Airbus also noted that it had seen 144 net orders this calendar year, adding just five from undisclosed customers for the month just gone.
Deliveries for April included six A220-300s, 17 A320neos, 24 A321neos, one lone A319neo, two A330-900s to customers, and four of the A350-900s.
Despite a poorer-than-expected first quarter of 2023 regarding deliveries, the manufacturer is still targeting 720 commercial aircraft deliveries.
Based on current figures, if the company delivered 54 aircraft for every remaining month, they’d be at 613 delivered by the end of the calendar year.
The company hopes to reach the delivery goal outlined after 2022’s late push but still saw them fall short of expectations. As a result, 2023’s target also represents an increase. | aerospace | 1 |

This is an update for FS2004/FSX of the Iris Mig-29 Fulcrum (Navy). I have updated the flight dynamics, added a 2D panel and changed or added gauges to the VC. I have fixed the VC_glass texture so it is clear instead of grey; and changed the smoke textures. This is the whole aircraft.

Boeing B52-D Bomber Adapted for FSX by Danny Garnier. Note this model was created with 2d panel with display only VC in one model. 2d panel is modified from Ken Mitchel's B-52 panel with FSX compatible gauges added. Only model 6 has a VC without working gauges. The VC model cannot be modified with gauges without the source file. So the VC model has no working gauges in the VC! This package contains 6 B52 models and 6 textures. Since it became operational in 1955, the B-52 has been the main long-range heavy bomber of the Strategic Air Command. It first flew on Apr. 15, 1952. Nearly 750 B-52s were built when production ended in Oct. 1963, of which 170 were -Ds. The -Ds were modified to carry conventional bombs and Quail decoy missiles.

Update requires the FSX adapted Iris Mig-29 package. This is an update of the Iris freeware Mig-29. I have only deleted all the paint sections that no longer have textures that go with them. This is for anyone who has the aircraft and did not already get rid of the paint sections that are no longer needed. You won't have all those models without textures getting in your way.

This is an update for FS9/FSX of the F-5A by Tim Conrad. I have updated the flight dynamics, changed the stores texture so the bombs show, added an autopilot, Nav/GPS switch and speed brake light to the 2D panel. The switch and light could not be applied to the VC because of the way it is made. I have also changed the afterburner effects. This is the whole aircraft.
