“We know that Mars had a bad past,” Thomas Zurbuchen the associate administrator of NASA’s Science Mission Directorate, told USA Today. “We used our Spirit and Opportunity rovers (2003) to follow the water in search of answers as to why this once ocean world is now dry and desolate. Following those missions came our Curiosity rover, which landed on Mars in 2012 and is still operating.”
After a more than six-month, 293-million-mile journey, Perseverance is aiming for Mars’ Jezero Crater, a 30-mile wide depression that scientists believe once was a deep lake fed by rivers of running water.
“Perseverance is our robotic astrobiologist, and it will be the first rover NASA has sent to Mars with the explicit goal of searching for signs of ancient life,” Zurbuchen said. full story | aerospace |

EDINBURGH - Leading space scientists from Britain and China signed a partnership agreement early this month to promote and strengthen both sides' space education and space-culture activities.
Under the memorandum of understanding, a new virtual center will be established to lead space education and space-culture activities between the two countries.
The center will be led by Britain's National Space Academy and a consortium of Chinese laboratories. In the areas of culture and education programs, it will be supported by the University of Nottingham.
The new virtual center partnership will serve as a platform for Sino-British space-education and cultural leadership, which can then be expanded to include participation from other space agencies and new space programs or agencies in the developing world.
"We hope to accelerate the development in this area and in the future expand the program into other developing countries, so as to nurture more talent in space science," says professor Yu Junsheng from Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications. Yu is the consortium's leading scientist.
For the first stage of this partnership, the team aims to select 100 primary and middle schools in China, Britain and countries involved in the Belt and Road Initiative to carry out a trial run of the education program, Yu says.
While the center will help spread space education across China, British students and teachers will be offered the chance to participate in summer school programs, including visits to China's astronaut-training and launch centers.
And Britain-China education experiments will be developed to fly in China's space program, according to the UK National Space Academy.
This new center will give British teachers, students and researchers new opportunities to work in partnership with one of the world's most ambitious space programs, says professor Anu Ojha, director of the academy.

Even outer space is now being trashed. Since "advanced" peoples first began orbiting satellites around the earth in 1957, they have managed to leave behind 7,300 pieces of trash large enough to be tracked routinely by radar. Only a few hundred of these constitute operating payloads. These large pieces of trash include discarded launch rockets, defunct satellites, ejected covers, and even occasional screwdrivers and wrenches. When you count smaller pieces, there are somewhere between 30,000 and 70,000 objects orbiting the earth about the size of golf balls. When you count smaller fragments, they may number in the millions. In 1963, after a failed attempt in 1962, the Air Force secretly put 1.2 billion metal needles into orbit, forming a belt ten miles deep and ten miles wide circling the earth. Their stated goal was to study worldwide radio communications. Since that time, the needles have fallen back to earth and burned up during reentry into the atmosphere.
Even small pieces of space trash are dangerous because they have to be traveling fast to stay in orbit. A piece of space garbage the size of a pea traveling at 11,000 to 20,000 miles an hour can shatter a $100 million satellite. When such collisions occur, they create many small fragments of new space junk, creating a "self-propagating debris swarm," increasing the chances of further collisions.
Major collisions with orbiting solid waste have destroyed two and perhaps three satellites. In 1985 a NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) spokesman said, "We might get to where we a see a collision that breaks up an operating satellite once every 10 years." Both the space shuttle and the permanent orbiting space station, planned for launch in the 1990s, will be at risk of collision with space trash.

The debt-laden Air India has been handed over to the Tata Group after 67 years. The Tata group had founded Air India as Tata Airlines in October 1932. The government nationalised the airline in 1953.
The formalities have been completed. The Air India disinvestment process is closed. The shares have been transferred to Talace Pvt Ltd, which is the new owner of Air India, Tuhin Kant Pandey, Secretary, Department of Investment & Public Asset Management (DIPAM) stated on Thursday.
The transaction covers three entities – Air India, Air India Express and AI SATS. Air India is India’s flag carrier and premier full-service airline. Air India Express is a low-cost carrier. AI SATS provides a comprehensive suite of ground handling and cargo handling services.
Post the process completion, Tata Sons chairman N Chandrasekaran expressed, "We're totally delighted that this process is complete and happy to have Air India back in the Tata Group. We look forward to walking with everyone to create a world-class airline," Chandrasekharan said to reporters.
Following the handover to Tata Grpup, the conglomerate tweeted, "Your arrival was much awaited."
In an official statement, the conglomerate said, "The Tata Group would like to acknowledge Prime Minister Narendra Modi's commitment to reforms and faith in India's entrepreneurship spirit, which made this historic transition possible. Our Prime Minister has in action demonstrated what his commitment to 'Minimum Government, Maximum Governance' means."
Meanwhile, Civil aviation minister Jyotiraditya M Scindia took to Twitter to say, "This proves the govt’s ability, and the resolve to carry out disinvestment effectively in non-strategic sectors in the future."
Further, Ministry of Civil Aviation Secretary Rajiv Bansal informed that 12,000 employees will now work with to Tatas. "They’ll have to retain them for one year," he added.
Ahead of the handover, Chandrasekaran had met with Prime Minister Narendra Modi today.
The government had in October last year, inked the share purchase agreement with the Tata Group for the sale of national carrier Air India for Rs 18,000 crore.
The Tata group would pay Rs 2,700 crore cash and take over Rs 15,300 crore of the airline's debt.
The transaction was to be completed by December 2021, but the deadline was later extended till January 2022, owing to longer-than-expected time taken to complete procedural work.
Besides, non-core assets of Air India, including land and building, valued at Rs 14,718 crore are also being transferred to AIAHL.
Tatas would not get to retain non-core assets such as the Vasant Vihar Housing colony of Air India, Air India Building at Nariman Point, Mumbai, and Air India Building in New Delhi.
Further, of the 141 Air India aircraft that Tatas would get, 42 are leased planes while the remaining 99 are owned.
While this will be the first privatisation since 2003-04, Air India will be the third airline brand in the Tatas' stable - it holds a majority interest in AirAsia India and Vistara, a joint venture with Singapore Airlines Ltd.
Air India will give it access to a fleet of 117 wide-body and narrow-body aircraft and Air India Express Ltd another 24 narrow-body aircraft besides control of 4,400 domestic and 1,800 international landing and parking slots at domestic airports, as well as 900 slots at airports overseas such as London's Heathrow.
Air India started suffering losses every year since its merger with Indian Airlines in 2007-08. A Turnaround Plan (TAP) as well as a Financial Restructuring Plan (FRP) were approved for Air India by the previous UPA regime in 2012. However, the TAP did not work out and Air India continued to reel under losses with the government giving Rs 20 crore/day to keep the airline afloat.
Over the last decade more than Rs 1.10 lakh crore was infused by way of cash support and loan guarantee in the loss making airline to keep it afloat. The airline is suffering losses of Rs 20 crore/day currently.
On a standalone basis, Air India reported a net loss of Rs 5,422.6 crore during the April-September period of the current fiscal ending March 2022. | aerospace |

Rohde & Schwarz will launch its R&S EVSD1000 VHF/UHF nav/drone analyzer at Airspace World 2023 in Geneva from March 8 to 10, 2023. The analyzer provides highly accurate and efficient drone inspection of terrestrial navigation and communications systems along with outstanding accuracy and the measurement repeatability customers need.R&S EVSD1000 has specifically been designed to provide a mounting adaptor for installation onto medium-size drone types. (Image: Rohde & Schwarz)
Civil aviation requires accurate and reliable navigation systems for optimizing air traffic control (ATC) and ensuring the essential public safety while mitigating aircraft risks, delays and costs. Terrestrial air navigation systems, such as landing systems or en-route navigation systems require unique test and measurement capabilities.
The R&S EVSD1000 VHF/UHF nav/drone analyzer is a signal level and modulation analyzer for medium-sized drones. It is the only instrument that combines measurements of instrument landing systems (ILS), ground-based augmentation systems (GBAS) and VHF omnirange (VOR) ground stations in a single box. The mechanical and electrical design is optimized for drone based, real-time measurements of terrestrial navigation systems with up to 100 measurement data sets per second.
The analyzer provides high-precision signal analysis in the frequency range from 70 MHz to 410 MHz, a critical requirement for drone based terrestrial navigation signal measurement systems. This also includes the needed measurement repeatibility to ensure that results from drone measurements can be compared to flight and to ground inspections in line with ICAO standards.
The analyzer is ideal for drone-based ground station testing in the perimeter of an airport. At 1.5 kg, the instrument’s weight allows usage of a medium-sized drone to perform measurements on ILS/VOR systems in line with the ICAO standards.
Customer benefits include reduced runway blocking times compared to conventional methods (manual measurements, mast measurements), significantly reducing costs while providing the necessary measurement repeatability, measurement precision and GNSS time and location stamps. While streaming measurement data during a drone flight via the data link to a PC on the ground, the analyzer can buffer this data internally to ensure that no results are lost if the data link is lost. This ensures gapless measurements and easy reporting. | aerospace |

By contrast there are about 30,000 flights per day.
- The major US airlines fly about 25 different types of planes. By contrast, the ICD-10 lists 12,420 diseases. Each plane, like each disease, requires different protocols to manage.
- There are 2.5M nurses compared to 200,000 pilots.
Still, it’s hard to ignore the success of aviation. Particularly remarkable is that between 1990 and 2010, aviation became not only much more safe, but also much more efficient. We’re after the same improvement. With that in mind, here are five aviation practices worth embracing in our world:
- Focus on usability. Aviation used Commercial Aviation Safety Teams to improve the usability and safety of things like cockpits. This has great applicability in healthcare and there is a movement afoot, led by Peter Pronovost, to do the same for medical devices.2
- Make it safe to talk about events. Aviation led with ASRS. Healthcare has followed with Patient Safety Organizations. Hopefully PSOs will fulfill their potential and unleash a torrent of new data about the nuanced roots of error. This will require that PSOs become functional and culture change within most healthcare providers.
- Crew Resource Management.
- Simulation. Captain Sullenberger was able to land his plane in the Hudson for many reasons. One of those was that he had practiced landing a plane down in the water dozens of times in the simulator. Simulation is spreading in healthcare for everything from warm-ups, to surgeon training, to crew training to credentialing. That’s a good thing.
- Prediction. Aviation has gotten better and better at predicting air traffic.
Healthcare is beginning to do the same. This bodes well for safety as surveillance capabilities begin to anticipate specific procedures, patients, time period and units when there may be elevated risk of harm.
For my part, you’ll see me push to bring practices from aviation to healthcare that can improve safety. But, please spare me the comparisons. We get it. Aviation has done great work. Healthcare is harder.

What is the Airport:
The airport is an air port, aerodrome, station or terminal where there is regular aircraft traffic.
This area includes all its buildings, its facilities and its equipment. Airports are those public aerodromes or terminals that have services or intensity of air movement and with a series of requirements to be called an airport.
An airport is a defined area of land or water intended totally or partially for the movement or travel of air transport, and for the arrival or landing and departure or take-off of aircraft.
See also Aerodrome.
At airports, different functions are performed in addition to landing and taking off of aircraft, such as refueling, preventive and corrective maintenance of aircraft, and boarding and disembarking of goods, passengers and baggage. They also have parking areas for aircraft that are not in service, parking areas for passenger vehicles, taxi and public transport areas, commercial areas and different services, etc.
See also Logistics.
In this way, airports have two parts:
- the land-side (land side) of the aerodrome, where the passenger terminal, parking lots, customs, trade areas, and other services for passengers are located; Y
- the air-side (air side) of the aerodrome, where the runway (take-off and landing), taxiways or taxiways (auxiliary runways where aircraft wait for take-off or are on their way to the terminal after a landing) are located , aircraft parking areas (airport ramps or platforms) and hangars (place where aircraft are kept, for maintenance). | aerospace |

These efforts include a partnership between Airbus and CFM International (a 50-50 joint company between GE and Safran Aircraft Engines) to perform flight tests of a hydrogen engine; a partnership with NASA and Boeing to develop and fly a megawatt class hybrid electric drive system; and CFM ASCEND (Revolutionary Innovation for Sustainable Engines), which includes the development of new advanced engine architectures such as open fan, as well as other technologies. The goal of the RISE program is to reduce fuel consumption and CO emissions by at least 20%2 emissions compared to today’s most efficient engines.
Several ground and flight tests planned for this decade will demonstrate new technologies for use in future commercial aircraft engines that could enter service from the mid-2030s.
Meanwhile, this commitment to innovation and investment over decades has led to the following engines, services and software available now to reduce CO emissions2 emissions from the existing fleet in service powered by GE and its partners:
• Newer GE engines are more fuel efficient than the engines they replace. For example, the GE9X is up to 10% more fuel efficient than the GE90 engine. Advanced materials such as ceramic matrix composites and additively manufactured parts help improve engine fuel efficiency.
• All GE, CFM and Engine Alliance (a 50-50 joint venture between GE and Pratt & Whitney) engines can run on Approved Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) today, an alternative jet fuel with a reduced carbon footprint on the life cycle
• Systems technologies that improve aircraft performance efficiency include solutions to optimize flight paths, thereby reducing fuel consumption
• GE’s 360 Foam Wash is an advanced on-wing cleaning technology with proprietary detergent to help ensure engines continue to operate efficiently, reducing fuel consumption and CO2 emissions
• GE Digital’s aviation software solutions make fuel saving recommendations, such as FlightPulse, a flight analysis tool for pilots
GE has been testing biofuels since 2007 and continues to support SAF testing and flight demonstrations. GE holds leadership positions in SAF qualification and standards bodies such as ASTM, including committees and task forces responsible for new track approvals, synthetic fuel specification maintenance and SAF standardization 100% drop-in. 100% SAF does not require mixing with conventional jet fuel. GE also joined the Round table on sustainable biomaterials (RSB), an independent international organization that helps develop market policies for SAF and ensure that SAF raw materials are sourced responsibly.
Additionally, GE is ambitiously pursuing its commitment to be carbon neutral by 2030 in its own facilities and operations, including Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. Efforts to achieve this goal include building upgrades towards more energy-efficient heating and cooling systems, finding low-carbon energy sources to power venues, and using lean practices to reduce waste. Through the internal efforts of the company’s global teams, GE Aviation facilities and operations have reduced Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by more than 20% since 2019.

About the author:
Joe Weingarten graduated from New York University as a mechanical engineer and went to work in research and development
in the Air Cargo and Aerial Delivery Branch at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. A few months later he was offered a direct
commission in the same organization. After four years and becoming a Captain he returned to civil service and continued in R&D
for another 26 years with the Air Force. Joe retired as the Technical Assistant to the Commander of the Air Force Material
Command. Joe has 11 patents and 28 Air Force Invention Awards as well as having written the Air Force Design Handbook for
Air Transportability. The American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics selected him as the top young engineer in the nation
in 1977 with the Lawrence Sperry Award for the development of the structural internal restraint criteria for all aircraft and spacecraft
that was adopted worldwide.
Some of his other accomplishments include the development of a concept of air cargo hubs many years before Fed Ex and UPS.
A ¼ million pound test rope with zero twist that was used in the airdrop of a live Minuteman Missile launch from a C-5 aircraft.
He developed the internal structural criteria for the Space Shuttle. Designed an extrusion process that was a breakthrough in
large-scale structural shapes and many other airdrop items.
After retirement form the Air Force Joe open an Apple Computer Store that within a few years grew to be one of the largest
resellers in the nation.
In the early 1970's Joe learned to be a silversmith and during this entire time he became very accomplished at this trade. Selling

Since its inception in 2011, Mission X: Train like an Astronaut has morphed into an international collaboration of physical fitness challenges. The program is an immersive resource that fosters mind, body and spirit in students all around the globe. It’s an education unlike any other that has encouraged tens of thousands of young people to take their pulse for the first time and blast off with straightforward exercises that make fitness fun. Equipped with the training and critical thinking necessary for any real astronaut, these future explorers are now more than ready to embark upon Mission X, taking the torch of spaceflight to even deeper reaches of space.
Through the Mission X: Train Like an Astronaut fitness challenge, space invades the classroom, physically manifesting as elaborate decorations of stars and fields of meteors. As planets and aliens made of paint and plaster hang above, Mission X is brought to life by the teachers who use the project’s resources to encourage mental and physical growth.
“The teachers are the real champions,” said NASA Human Research Program project contributor Scott Townsend. “It takes one person in a school system to make something happen, and then it takes the support of the person above them.”
Mission X began as a local investment in NASA Johnson Space Centre’s community in its pilot year. The next year, the project reached 12 countries and roughly 4,200 student participants. That number has now skyrocketed to more than 104,000 students in 38 countries and Taiwan in the 2017 challenge. Participants use NASA and the astronaut experience as a roadmap for their own health and fitness achievements.
Mission X, however, is about more than simply physical and nutritional growth. Children are provided with interactive science experiments that demonstrate how comparison and rationale play into drawing conclusions. Teamwork is emphasised, showing what can be accomplished when working together. Students are not only exposed to the present landscape of spaceflight, but also challenged to stand before their classmates and present about the history of NASA, fostering public speaking skills and the presentation of ideas before a group at a very young age.
Mission X also enlists real astronauts on space missions as “ambassadors” to interact with the students. Nearly 50 Mission X ambassadors, such as Kate Rubins from Expedition 48/49, have engaged with students through videos while aboard the International Space Station. They answer questions, participate in Mission X activities and encouraging healthy lifestyles by sharing their own personal journeys.
Nubia Carvajal, Mission X Project Coordinator, believes the program’s success is partly due to its “international flair.”
“Mission X encourages teamwork without borders,” Carvajal said. “Mission points are converted into steps, and that is how we get Astro Charlie (the program mascot) moving. It is not about one step or one country, it is about everyone moving.”
Both Carvajal and Townsend spent years as public school educators. Carvajal regularly meets with international partners such as ESA (the European Space Agency) to discuss the future of Mission X. Each country has a lead who participates in decisions about the upcoming direction of the project.
With teachers at the helm and more students worldwide to reach, there is indeed a bright future ahead—for NASA and this interactive education portal. The universe is vast; the opportunities for growth are almost as endless. But before you can fly, you must first simply . . . move.
Consider joining the worldwide team at Mission X: Train Like an Astronaut.

In 2020, the Air Force Medical Readiness Agency, began investigating whether there was possible exposure to carcinogens for personnel working with fighter jets, specifically to hexavalent chromium, a carcinogen created out of regular chromium. As a consulting agency for all of the Pacific Air Force, the Theatre Prevention Medicine Flight out of the 18th Operational Medical Readiness Squadron, were tasked to assist with the research. They then turned to the Human Performance Optimization Flight and the Bioenvironmental Engineering Flight — their brother flights from the OMRS — to collect the samples needed for analyzing. Regular chromium is often used in anti-corrosion paint, which is used by General Electric on some of the aircraft parts they provide to Kadena Air Base, explained 1st Lt. Madeleine Kallerud, the occupational health element chief for the Bioenvironmental Engineering Flight. "Once it gets oxidized and reacts with calcium and magnesium that come from the engine, it creates this more hazardous part of hexavalent chromium, which is the concern," she said. "Hexavalent chromium has been identified by the Occupational Safety Health Administration as being a potential carcinogen. There's a potential contact and inhalation hazard over the course of eight hours." The generation of hexavalent chromium in the engine begged the question of whether pilots were being exposed to it in the air or through contact inside the cockpit. Air and swipe samples were determined to be the best indicators of whether exposure was taking place and if present, how harmful it is. Samples were taken after a volunteer wore an air pump for eight hours and participated in a two hour flight. The volunteer, Capt. Christina Hall, an aerospace physiologist with the Human Performance Optimization Flight, came across the project by chance. She was temporarily displaced from her office due to construction and ended up working out of the TPMF building temporarily. While there, she was asked if she could arrange for a pilot to help with the project. Instead, she offered to gather the samples herself. "I felt like it was better for me to fly with the air sample equipment as opposed to a pilot," Hall said. "It is much safer for me to manage the air sample equipment because I am not physically operating the aircraft, and there are also very limited tasks that I may be required to do in flight, so managing the equipment wouldn't affect my situational awareness to the extent that it would a pilot." The tests were conducted using a filter — on Hall's lapel — that was attached to a pump. The pump was secured to her survival vest, and all extra components being added to her gear were flight-rated to ensure no hazards were presented. The results have been found to be below the occupational exposure limit, supporting the results that GE gathered from their 80 different air and swipe samples, with all results coming back with negligible levels of exposure. While the testing and results can provide a sense of relief to Kadena, the research positively affects PACAF as a whole. "This sampling data that we collect here, is actually going to impact all other PACAF bases. And that's going to go up to the AFMRA," Kallerud said. "They can then come up with a strategy for all of the engine types across the Air Force. They'll be over at Misawa, sitting in the backseat of the fighter, and know this is what we're expecting to see for their exposure. They can validate that and take their own swipe samples to compare it to what we've collected here." Although the specific tests this time were done in F-15 cockpits, the continued testing on other airframes and the information gathered will help protect more than just pilots. "It's larger than just aircrew, it includes maintenance workers as well. The swipe testing tool will help determine if maintainers are at any risk," Hall said. "From an aviator's standpoint, if we can maintain our pilot health, that'd be a huge impact. But pilots can't fly planes that aren't fixed — if maintainers are dropping, then it doesn't matter how many pilots we have, we have no planes for them to fly. Preserving the lethality of our Air Force is dependent on the health of all those involved." | aerospace |

I haven’t written anything about aviation for one sole reason: I usually only talk airplane with airplane people. Talking airplane with the average person is like listening to that one friend you had who memorized the Brave’s baseball stats in 3rd grade when you still had trouble with your Rs and Ss. It just is long, boring, and full of a bunch of acronyms.
Anywho, with that out of the way, let’s talk aviation.
The Cessna 172 is the quintessential training airplane. First produced in 1956, it is one of the most common general aviation aircraft in the world, with over 43,000 built. It looks like this:
ain’t that just adorable? These suckers put out a whopping 100-130 horsepower to cruise at a blazing 105 knots at the dizzying height of up to 12,000 feet (never have I ever seen a 172 go above 9k). The 172 does nothing well except limit what a nervous, 5-hour pilot can get themselves into. And that is fantastic. It, as well as its low-wing counterpart the Piper Cherokee have trained hundreds of thousands of student pilots, and most pilots in America have flown some subset of 172 or Cherokee. They are, to the greatest possible extent, the everyman’s airplane.
There’s a catch, however. Aviation in particular hasn’t taken inflation lightly, and airplane costs have grown exponentially. Young flight schools can’t buy new aircraft that cost a quarter of a million dollars, so they’re forced to look into the thankfully large secondhand market. This is where the issue is. 172s are in abundance for sure, but many pre-1980 aircraft are beginning to show their age, the period in which many 172s were made. They have cracked panels, smelly interiors, and really really bad paint jobs, among other things. Upkeep costs are rising, but the old airplanes are still a better deal than more recent craft.
That’s where the 172LITE comes in. One of the largest pilot supply stores in the world, Sporty’s Pilot Shop, is starting a new program to convert old 172s into newer, lighter, and much much cheaper aircraft to operate. Such improvements include: LED lights, metal instrument panels, carpet, and a new engine. This is, in short, a massive deal. Aircraft like the one above will come out of the conversion program looking like this:
Cost has yet to be seen, but Sporty’s is saying it will be attainable. Whether “attainable” is actually attainable, that is to be determined.
General aviation numbers are low these days. Fewer and fewer people are becoming pilots, and the world is pushing against the old fuels general aviation aircraft use. Hopefully, with these new conversion programs, more and more “new”ish aircraft can be pumped out, and the general aviation market can once again be pumped full of life. Best of luck to Sporty’s in their endeavor, and happy landings! | aerospace |

An Alaska Airlines flight en route to San Francisco from Everett’s Pain Field was diverted to Portland on Sunday after officials said an off-duty pilot tried to shut down the plane’s engine.
Fox – Seattle
An off-duty Alaska Airlines pilot has been charged with 83 counts of attempted murder after allegedly trying to crash a plane in mid-flight.
The suspect, Joseph David Emerson, 44, was seated in the cockpit jump seat of Alaska Airlines Flight 2059 operated by Horizon Air, headed to San Francisco Airport from Paine Field Airport in ‘Everett, Washington, Sunday.
A jump seat is located in the cockpit and is usually occupied by off-duty pilots, NTSB, FAA or air traffic controllers in cases such as traveling between airports.
During the flight, Emerson allegedly attempted to pull the fire extinguisher handles on the engines, causing a “credible safety threat,” Alaska Airlines told USA TODAY in a statement. “Horizon’s captain and first officer responded quickly, engine power was not lost, and the crew secured the aircraft without incident,” the Alaska statement continued.
The incident caused the plane to be diverted to Portland International Airport, where it landed safely around 6:25 p.m. No injuries were reported. reportedaccording to FBI Portland on X, formerly Twitter.
“We have the guy who tried to shut down the engines from the cockpit. And he doesn’t seem to be causing any problems in the rear at the moment, and I think he’s under control,” one of the pilots said on audio captured by LiveATC.net. “Aside from that, we want law enforcement to be applied whenever we are on the ground and parked.”
“All passengers on board were able to travel on a later flight. We are grateful for the professional handling of the situation by the Horizon flight crew and appreciate the calm and patience of our guests throughout this event,” Alaska Airlines said.
Emerson was arrested by the Port of Portland and currently being held at the Multnomah County Detention Center, according to reservation files by the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office.
He faces 83 counts of attempted murder, which are felony offenses. He also faces 83 charges of reckless endangerment, a misdemeanor, and one count of endangering an aircraft, which is a class C felony.
There were 80 passengers and four crew members on board, according to the airline.
According to Alaska Airlines, “the event is under investigation by law enforcement authorities, including the FBI and Portland Harbor Police.”
“The FAA is working with Alaska and Horizon Airlines and supporting law enforcement investigations into the incident that occurred Sunday evening aboard a Horizon Airlines flight,” the FAA said in a statement.
In a statement, the FBI said it “can assure the traveling public that there is no ongoing threat related to this incident.”

All efforts were directed to attain effective strike power from remote positions. The ‘remote’ factor is common when we review the developments in Artillery, missiles, rockets and Fighter Planes. The World Wars increase the need for more accurate and fast attacks and retaliations. The war planes proved more versatile and offered better scope of hitting enemy targets well within its borders. This sector received more attention and developed faster. The successful Fighter Planes developed in last 60 or 70 years are being reviewed limiting to the top 10. The assessment criteria differ and so does the opinion.
The Supermarine Spitfire was manufactured by the British during the 2nd World War. The Royal Air Force and the Allied forces used it extensively. The design was extremely adaptable. This fighter was designed by R. J. Mitchell at the Supermarine Aviation Works. The maximum speed achievable was 250 mph with the 600 horse power Rolls-Royce engine.
Spitfire under went many design changes. The single spar blade was changed to three blade propeller. The engines were also modified for more stable running. It was equipped with 0.303-inch two machine guns with 300 round each, besides a variety of bombs.
[youtube 6UYALXziQd0 400 325]
The single seat Spitfire was produced in great numbers at two plants to meet the air force demand. The fighter had sight edge over its main adversary the German Luftwaffe in some aspects while showed some short comings. Still the overall performance was satisfactory that helped counter attacks. Spitfire remained in service till around 1950’s.
The North American Aviation manufactured the Mustang P51. The fighter became available to the Allied forces by mid of World War II. This single seat long range fighter was mainly used as escort for the bombers over Germany. Mustang proved more economical, durable and faster aircraft. The 12 cylinder engines were built by Packard on Rolls-Royce pattern.
The P51s were armed with Browning six 0.5 inch machine guns besides bombs. The British ordered 320 NA-73 fighters and found them more suitable for reconnaissance and tactical ground attack duties. It could only fly higher than 15000 feet after modifications, which increased the horse power to1700, speed to435 mph and flight ceiling to 25000 feet. Mustang became highly acknowledged aircraft. In all about 15000 P51s were built. They destroyed 5000 enemy aircraft in Europe.
MIG 21 is a supersonic jet fighter built by Mikoyan Gurevich Design Bureau in the Soviet Union. The predecessors were MIG 15, 17 and 19 were all short range interceptors. MIG 21 series was Russian first major production range that became popular among other countries too.
The initial proto types were short lived. The missiles attached failed the objective. However, many modifications improved a lot and became a formidable aircraft. The delta wing design made it dual purpose fighter and interceptor. Its speed capability of Mach 2 exceeds that of many latest fighters in the world.
[youtube q4f-qasdCFo 400 325]
MIG 21 now leads the production figures becoming the most produced combat supersonic aircraft with the longest production period. The total production of MIG 21s accedes 10000 and were adopted by about 50 countries.
Super Hornet is a supersonic fighter and attack aircraft. It is advanced and larger than the original hornet and is also carrier capable. The production began in 1995 and induced in the U.S. Navy in 1999. Super Hornet undergone many variations but main design features were maintained like the avionics, armament mission computer software and maintenance procedures.
The super version is four feet longer, has larger wing area and is capable of carrying 30% more fuel that increases its range by about one-third. The F18 takes a variety of weapons payload including the ‘smart’ weapons and air-to-air and air-to-ground rockets. It incorporates versatile radar to control delivery systems. The aerial refueling system is included. Top speed is 2145 km/h.
Sabre F86 was made by North American Aviation. The fighter was designed for day time operations. The swept wing feature provided better versatility to be used as an escort fighter for the bombers. This could also be used as a dive bomber by itself. This all weather fighter was used extensively in large numbers by America in the Korean War successfully against its superior MIG 15. Large scale production of F86 began after the World War II. The original model under went many improvements.
The engine was also modified to powerful Turbojet that increased its speed, the height ceiling and the climb rate almost doubled besides other changes. Its top speed was rated at 1100 km/h. with a range increased to 870 km. Sabre F86 could carry 16 “High Velocity Air Rockets”, besides the installed machine guns. There was an option to either carry two 782 liter fuel drop tanks or two 450 kg bombs under the wings. However, without the fuel drop tanks its range shortened from 530 km to 80 km.
[youtube ZvqyGkb4QIk 400 300]
Saber F86 proved the most successful fighter of the west and all the versions put together come to about 10000 units produced till 1956.
Messerschmidt ME109 – 1937
The ME109 was manufactured by the German Messerschmitt AG. This fighter is world renowned for proving the best in the World War II. The greatest fighter pilots chose to fly this, admittedly an unsafe and uncomfortable plane. The combat record of ME109 is the best through out the war. The German WWII top scorers who flew ME109 are: Erich Hartman (352 victories), Gerhard Barkhorn (301 victories) and Gunther Rall (275 victories).
The total production of this rugged fighter was 34000 units including all versions or around 60% of all German aircraft produced. This was succeeded by Focke Wulf Fw. The aircraft was planned as an interceptor but it proved its versatility and was used for every kind of service that the war demanded. It employed retractable landing gear, a feature of modern aircraft.
The Jump Jet was produced in Britain that proved very successful from other similar competitors. This fighter plane is designed for vertical and short take-off. The Harrier family is majorly extended to four main versions: Hawker Siddeley Harrier, Sea Harrier for maritime defense, Boeing/BAE Systems AV-8B Harrier II and BAE Systems/Boeing Harrier II.
The first prototype was made in 1960. The aircraft is in service in many countries including America. This has proved very versatile but reportedly it is very difficult to pilot. It is very sophisticated and needs extraordinary skill and systems understanding.
[youtube 5xKXtPaSNH4 400 325]
The fighter is armed with cannons and various air to air missiles. It can carry large amount of stores on its six under wing hard points. The top speed of this reconnaissance and support fighter is 1000 km/h.
Mitsubishi Zero-Sen was manufactured in Japan by Mitsubishi Jukogyo &Nakajima. This was designed as a shipboard fighter but its abilities proved far greater. The fighter outmaneuvered almost all other fighters and interceptors existing. A6M2 was used extensively in all military engagements in the pacific and proved most successful Japanese combat plane. Its long range of 1930 miles with drop-tank was a big surprise to the American forces also. The top speed was 533 km/h.
Mitsubishi Zero-Sen was installed with 20mm cannons and two 7.7mm guns besides bombs. The American pilots were warned to score the hit at first chance and avoid a turn around with A6M2. One plane was shot down over Pearl Harbor and retrieved to understand the mechanism. This helped improve American fighter designs.
Fokker DR 1 was built by Fokker Flugzeugwerke. This triple wing plane was one of the first air fight experiments and was redesigned in the prototype stages. The final design was known as the DR 1. This plane had open cockpit for one pilot only. Two machine guns were fitted that could fire through the propeller without hitting blades.
Fokker DR 1 was considered a better option to other planes during the World War I. this was better maneuverable having a smaller frame. The most famous pilot, Manfred, von Richthofen is said to make his 80 victories. Only 320 DR 1s were made with top speed of 185 km/h.
The F117 was developed by Lockheed Martin. The single seat Night Hawk stealth Fighter was designed for low fight over enemy ground. It was only used in night time missions being invisible to radar. These highly maneuverable planes totaled 59 in service before after 2008. F117 body was made of mainly aluminum and titanium. The surface and edges were shaped to reflect radar waves, while the outer surface was coated with Radar- Absorbent Material (RAM).
The F117 uses FLIR and DLIR laser designator systems for navigation instead of radar. This one seat plane is fully remote control with manual control option. It is equipped with a variety of laser-guided bombs and missiles. These are being replaced by more advanced F22 Raptor and F35 Lightening II. F117 had a top speed of 1040 km/h. | aerospace |

NASA Announces Live : Latest Earth 2.0 Kepler 452b Planet found by Kepler Telescope :- NASA has just now announced LIVE, the discovery of Latest Earth 2.0 Kepler 452b Planet found by Kepler Telescope – a planet very similar to Earth in the Milky Way, in many aspects. This discovery of NASA Kepler 452b Planet is considered to be really significant in space researches across the globe and scientists are really excited about it. Here we have brought for you the updates on Latest Earth 2.0 Kepler 425b found by NASA Kepler Telescope :-
It could contain water – “the essential ingredient for life as we know it”
The main reason for all the hype given to this discovery of Latest Earth 2.0 Kepler 452b Planet found by Kepler Telescope, is due the speculations from scientists that it may contain water, which the key for life to exist anywhere in the whole universe, as know to us.
About NASA Kepler Telescope :-
The NASA Kepler Telescope, which was launched in March 2009, has previously discovered more than 1,000 planets in the entire space. But this time NASA’s teasing LIVE announcement suggests that this discovery of NASA Kepler 452b Planet, could be its most significant till date. This has risen excitment in the minds of space researchers across the globe. This discovery of Earth 2.0 Kepler 425b, can proove to be a milestone in our knowledge about outer spce.
This discovery of Latest Earth 2.0 found, would be an astounding achievement, considering the fact that the first star-orbiting planet outside the solar system was discovered in 1995.
In a statement, NASA today announces live that : “Today, and thousands of discoveries later, astronomers are on the cusp of finding something people have dreamed about for thousands of years – another Earth.” or we can say Latest Earth 2.0 Kepler 425b found by Kepler Telescope.
How does NASA Kepler Telescope works :-
NASA Kepler Telescope works basically by constantly monitoring hundreds of thousands of stars at once, and analysing the changes in the light (electromagnetic radiations) levels that they give out. There are various highly sensitive devices and sensors which analyse these radiation levels and produce the results in form of readings.
When a planet passes between the star and the telescope, it obscures some of the light coming from the star, and NASA Kepler Telescope senses this dip in light levels. Hence with this, slight change in the light or radiation level, NASA Kepler Telescope can easily detect a planet and it’s characteristic features.
Using this method, it has been responsible for the vast majority of planet discoveries in the last few years and also of the Earth 2.0 Kepler 425b, the Latest Earth 2.0 found today.
Currently, NASA Kepler Telescope’s main mission is to detect earth-size planets within the habitable zone – the distance from a star where the temperature on the planet could allow liquid water to exist.
NASA Announces Live today about the Latest Earth 2.0 Kepler 452b Planet found by Kepler Telescope, which will be livestreamed online, in a conference beginning at 5pm, you can even share your thoughts with us, here in the comment box. | aerospace |

Gravity is one of the fundamental forces in the universe without which life as we know it was impossible.
The gravity of the sun holds all the planets in orbit in our solar system. However, every planet, natural satellite, and asteroid have their own gravitational pull determined by their size, mass, and density.
Dr. James O'Donoghue, a Planetary Astronomer at Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, built an animation that clarifies this concept by visualizing the time it takes a ball to drop from one kilometer to the surface of various planets and the Earth's moon, assuming no air impedance.
Interestingly, some giant planets have a pull comparable to smaller ones at the surface; for instance, Uranus pulls the ball down slower than Earth. That is happening because the low average density of Uranus puts the surface far away from the majority of the mass (hence the more minor pull). Likewise, Mars has a mass almost twice Mercury, but you can observe the surface gravity is the equivalent. It suggests that Mercury is much denser than Mars.
Jupiter has the strongest gravitational field among all planets of our Solar System. The animation created by Reddit user AristonD clearly illustrates how Jupiter protects our planet from asteroids.
I think that if it were not for Jupiter, the probability of asteroids like the one that fell on our planet 66 million years ago and wiped out the dinosaurs would be much higher. | aerospace |
https://newsmaker2009.com.ar/news/boeing-will-resell-some-max-jets-ordered-by-chinese-airlines/82474/ | 2022-10-03T14:52:15 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030337421.33/warc/CC-MAIN-20221003133425-20221003163425-00748.warc.gz | 0.966218 | 577 | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2022-40__0__67441797 | en | Boeing officials said they will find new buyers for some Boeing 737 Max jets that were built for Chinese airlines but cannot be delivered because the Chinese aviation regulator did not allow the plane to fly after two fatal accidents.
Boeing hopes the move will reduce its inventory of undelivered Max jets, which have accumulated while planes were on the ground around the world.
However, the decision risks increasing tension between the aircraft manufacturer and China, which was once Boeing’s largest market for the Max.
As of June 30, Arlington, Virginia-based Boeing had 290 undelivered 737s in inventory, about half of which were destined for China, company officials said. The company did not disclose how many could be resold to new buyers.
Boeing’s hopes were raised last December when China’s aviation regulator took an important step to allow airlines to resume using the Max. In February, Chinese airlines performed flight tests. . But China’s Civil Aviation Administration did not take final steps to allow Max’s flights and deliveries to resume, which Boeing officials blame for the COVID-19 blockade.
Meanwhile, the company was running out of patience.
“We have postponed decisions on those planes for a long time. We cannot postpone this decision forever, “Boeing Chief Financial Officer Brian West said Thursday.” So we will start re-marketing some of those airplanes that would otherwise have been destined for our Chinese customers. “
China “is an important market,” and Boeing did not take the decision lightly, West said at a Morgan Stanley investor conference, but expressed confidence that Boeing could find new buyers for the planes, which cost $ 100 million. dollars up, although airlines regularly get deep discounts.
China is the last major market where the Max is still awaiting approval to fly. The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration approved Boeing’s changes to the aircraft in late 2020, and regulators in Europe, Canada and Brazil have followed suit.
The importance of the Chinese market for Boeing was highlighted in July, when the three largest Chinese airlines ordered nearly 300 aircraft from its European rival Airbus.
U.S. relations with China were strained during the administration of former President Donald Trump, who waged a trade war with China. Boeing CEO David Calhoun said Thursday that free trade with China has helped the company, but that recent “geopolitical events” will “slow us down”.
“I think we’ll be back someday,” Calhoun said at a US Chamber of Commerce event. “I just don’t think it’s a day soon.”

Still, have you thought about the drone battery life? This works and the way you will make it easier?
Drones are really the discussion of this city now. Over the past couple of decades, the unmanned aerial auto market has grown leaps and bounds in popularity with an increasing number of people taking drones like a hobby, to get more detailed aerial photography and sometimes just for the bent of flying.
The marketplace gives us an extensive array of choices such as drones, beginning with tricopters, Quad-copters into hexacopters, octocopters, and also the likes. However, probably one of the main components of the drone is its own batterylife. This may be the powerhouse of this gadget. That is what provides drone that the push to take off, to fly across the sky and execute different functions.
For more info – Ebike Battery
The larger the battery capacity, the longer your drone can function in a charge of it. While a few small drones are ideal for a 5 or even 6 minutes excursion, some the others can select as long as 20 minutes and sometimes more.
Points to Consider when Selecting Drone Battery
It is crucial to own a dependable power source in your drone in order to have a lengthy and aviation. The one major problem with drone batteries is they get discharged in 5-20 seconds, however take more than an hour or so to have charged. Thus, obtaining a couple replacement batteries is always useful, and to understand a great deal more about them and how to choose the most suitable one for your drone, we suggest checking our article about drone batteries. Here are some factors for the drone batterylife:
Battery composition — Drones ideally focus with li-po powered batteries. All these are much better than the NiCad batteries at the sense that they save large amounts of power and deliver faster.
Manufacturer’s battery — Some drones require batteries that are specific to that specific manufacturer. This basically makes it tough to get replacement batteries and thus improves on producer’s business.
Replacement-cost — This really is an important element to think about. If you’re trying to extend your personal flight times and so are searching for spare batteries, you want to know about the replacement expenses. Some batteries cost 5% of the complete drone cost although a few others move as large as 20%.
Charging time — One of the greatest hindrances for some one looking for an interrupted flight is that the long charging time to get the drone batteries. This is the reason it’s always better to own drones with long battery life so that the charging does not come into the picture too frequently. However there are ways to overcome this issue. As an example, if using a 2 amp charger can take the drone 60 to 90 minutes for charged, then you also could work with a 6 amp one and find work done in roughly half the time.
How To Expand The Battery Life Of Your Drone?
The Battery Capacity
The first thing that you need to look to get is really just a suitable battery for your drone. Here, we would suggest that you go for a battery that has a high mAh or capacity. Firstly, you will need to look at the battery that’s being used by your own drone and determine if its capacity suits the drone or not.
The alternative for you would be to come across the form of battery your drone demands which can assist you to assess your choices.
During the time you’re searching for the correct charger, you should worry about locating the charger with bigger capacity. It’s correct that they are marginally higher priced but your drone deserves the way to work with no glitch. 1 thing that ought to be held in mind when deciding on these batteries would be the magnitude of battery.
The reason we want you to be careful this is because in the event you go for a larger battery afterward it is going to add greater weight to the drone that fundamentally heightens the bonus you’re searching for in the first location. | aerospace |

What does Nadcap stand for? National Aerospace and Defense Contractors Accreditation Program
Nadcap is PRI’s brand name. PRI manages the program for special processes in the aerospace industry. PRI (Performance Review Institute) and existence came from the guidance of SAE. Nadcap’s prime contractors and support staff meet to coordinate industry-wide standards for special processes and products through the Performance Review Institute made up of Primes and accredited suppliers.
Nadcap originally focused on US and Canada supply chain to Defense and Aerospace OEM’s. Nadcap was brought about by the Department of Defense and Aerospace OEM’s to provide consistent aerospace products and reduce overall administration cost. Nadcap really started to take shape in the early 1990’s with the support of GE, Boeing, Rolls Royce, and Pratt &Whitney. Basically all major defense and aerospace Primes and OEMs are dedicated to support and require Nadcap accreditation because it has improved the supply chain in the industry and lowered the overall cost.
However, Nadcap has expanded and is now the global standard worldwide for Aerospace and Defense Contractors supply chains accreditation. Nadcap’s evolving purpose is to create a supply chain that follows industry best practices, identified requirements, documentation, systems that foster continuous improvement, recording of process, inspection standards, required testing, and record specific variables of a given process which all lead to a more repeatable processes. This could be simply defined as Nadcap fostering continuous improvement and having a standard approach for special processing that is within the Nadcap scope.
A Basic list of Nadcap Prime and Aerospace Contractors that require plating or chemical processing or coatings:
309 Maintenance Wing-Hill AFB, Agusta Westland, Airbus, Alenia Aeronautica, Astrium, Avio, BAE Systems, Ball Aerospace, Bell Helicopter, Boeing, Bombardier, Cessna Aircraft, DCMA, EADS CASA, Eurocopter, GE Aviation, General Dynamics, General Services Administration – GSA, Goodrich, Hamilton Sundstrand, Hawker Beechcraft, Heroux-Devtek, Honeywell Aerospace, Honeywell, Industria de Turbo Propulsores, Israel Aerospace Industries, Latecoere, Liebherr Aerospace, Lockheed Martin, M7 Aerospace, MD Helicopter, MTU Aero Engines, Northrop Grumman, Parker Aerospace, PFW Aerospace, Pratt & Whitney, Raytheon, Rockwell Collins, Rolls-Royce, Safran, Sikorsky Aircraft, Sonaca, Spirit AeroSystems, Textron Systems, Thales, Triumph Group, US Air Force, United Space Alliance, Volvo Aero, Vought Aircraft and others. This list is for reference only and can change.
Nadcap is a similar accreditation to ISO, TS, and AS. However, it focuses more on the process side versus the overall Quality Management System. This accreditation helps Aerospace and Defense OEM’s know which suppliers could meet their own requirements for their specific industry. Some OEM’s or Primes allow the Nadcap accreditation as their main qualification and others OEM’s and Primes use it as a pre-screening process; which still requires an additional audit by their company.

(VIDEO)
Updates from Low Earth Orbit
JAXA Astronaut Koichi Wakata (Wiki here), the recently returned to Earth, former and first Japanese Commander of the International Space Station, is an excellent space resource. From 250 miles (400km) above the earth in his ISS residence, he broadcasted entertaining and informative Tweets and photos, and, in cooperation with other ISS crew members and JAXA staff here on the ground, produced weekly, bi-lingual YouTube updates.
Weekly Update Wrap-Up
During his most recent residence on the International Space Station, Astronaut Commander Koichi Wakata produced 27 weekly, bilingual updates aimed at educating both Japanese and English-speaking viewers about life aboard the station. We've been honored to share those videos, but we're sad to report that there are no more.
Throughout our coverage, we watched Commander Wakata operate a robotic arm, speak with Kirobo, the ISS's second humanoid robot and first with legs, speech, and a measure of autonomy, and we observed and learned about the various scientific investigations astronauts perform. We also learned about astronaut physical training not only by description but also demonstration, and we laughed over Commander Wakata's description of astronaut food choices (Russian canned meat is a big hit up there).
In Vol. 27, his last weekly update and a highly recommended watch, Commander Wakata spoke passionately about his experiences aboard the station and the profundity of simply looking out the window and orbiting the entire planet every 90 minutes.
Back to Earth: Debriefing the Commander
Until he gets himself aboard another rocket, our Koichi Wakata in Space! series is at an end. In a fitting wrap for us both, Commander Wakata sits down for an 8-minute debriefing with NASA's Dan Huot. He discusses the differences between his first and most recent residencies on the ISS, and the differences between blasting off in the Space Shuttle vs. a Russian Soyuz rocket.
This snapshot of a life lived partially off the planet, something only an extremely select few humans have done, is both inspiring and practically informative, and Commander Wakata's professional yet charmingly accessible demeanor shines through.

These planes crash or explode, and the number of survivors is usually around zero. Let’s say your jet blows apart at 35,000 feet. You exit the aircraft, and you begin to descend independently. Now what? If you want to be the sole survivor of an airline disaster, read this humoristic (yet realistic) part on how to survive a fall from an airplane.

When I first got aware of the Mars Curiosity Mission it was only a few days left until launch. Back then I found a rather interesting BBC documentary on the topic.
A little while ago I also stumbled upon the extensive archive of information, photos and other materials on the official NASA website and found it sheer amazing that they’d share all these amazing resources with the world. I mean who isn’t fascinated by space and its crazy scary vastness? No doubt I would be absolutely brickin’ it should I ever get the chance to go up there – but ever since Alien Resurrection scared the absolute life out of me as a kid I enjoyed stories and documentaries on the topic of outer space.
So naturally after watching the BBC Horizon programme I spent a “few” minutes looking at some greatly inspiring images of the red planet… Some of which I’d like to share below:
I could keep browsing these for hours, so I advise you go take a peek at the NASA Archive yourself sometime!

The IDF and the U.S. Armed Forces have completed a series of joint exercises that simulated various scenarios in the face of emerging regional threats.
After joint planning, the exercise began yesterday (Tuesday) with joint flights, which included four IAF F-35i “Adir” aircraft that accompanied four American F-15 fighter jets through Israel’s skies.
Today (Wednesday), an American KC-135 aerial refueling aircraft refueled a number of IAF F-16 "Barak" fighter jets as the IAF and the U.S. Air Force performed aerial refueling.
In addition, the IAF simulated an operational scenario and long-distance flights.
As part of the exercise, the Intelligence Directorate (J2) conducted an extensive simulation that replicated a campaign against distant countries. This exercise tested the IDF’s abilities at gathering intelligence, researching and “outlining” targets, and making intelligence available to the operational forces.
These exercises are a key component of the two militaries’ increasing strategic cooperation in response to shared concerns in the Middle East, particularly those posed by Iran. | aerospace |

Its appearance and functions of the commands are similar to the other motorized planes. But air conditions have more importance.
As glider has no motor, it has a special wing design. Special design of its wing profiles, being its wings big and wide gains glider a great rising force. Staying on air and flight of glider is maintained by air files. Air files formed during forward flight position of glider establish turbulence over wings by means of upper wings profile cross section, and also air files form a lifting force under wings due to wing under profile cross section. Thus, staying on air and flight is maintained, it can land and take off within a very short distance.
Cockpit of the glider can be for one or two persons. There are pedal, maintaining vertical axis movement of glider, and lever, maintaining vertical movement of glider in the cockpit. Other than these, there are subsidiary flight commands which will change the speed of the glider. There is also a wireless which will maintain the communication between glider and ground in the glider.
Inventor of the first glider in the world is known as Otto LILIENTAL, who had died during a trial flight on 1886 Otto LILIENTAL. Today glider sport is one of the most liked and performed air sports in Europe and the World. It is one of the oldest air sports in Turkey, Glider Flight School is opened in 1935. | aerospace |

Researchers at the Indian Institute of Public Health, Hyderabad (IIPH-H) have begun working on a drone delivery system which they believe will be quicker and more cost effective than standard deliveries made by road. Such a delivery system could be of great advantage in both a rural and urban setting.
In urban environments the ability of the drone to land vertically allows for packages to be dropped off practically anywhere with a reasonable amount of open space. The ability to bypass traffic is also a significantly faster means of transferring medical supplies between, for example, hospitals and smaller clinics.
In rural areas drones could deliver supplies to areas that are difficult to reach by road. This could greatly improve access to medicines and devices for populations living in areas that are difficult to reach. It could also potentially begin to address the issue of India’s rural clinics being inadequately stocked with medical supplies.
Currently produced drones could, in theory, transport medical packages. However, issues may be encountered regarding optimum storage temperatures and other conditions which may see the medicines degrade in quality.
IIPH-H’s Digital Drone based Real Time Advanced Medical Modular logistics system (2 DREAM) model is attempting to address this by developing a digital carrier box where the temperature and the payload carried is maintained, monitored and recorded continuously.
Such a system would allow for all manner of medical supplies to be delivered by air. With regulated temperature supplies such as vaccines could be sent to isolated areas. More specialised items such as transplants would also be able to be sent between hospitals via the air.
Research institutes are not the only groups looking into medical drone technology. Goutham Sharma and Jervis Anthony Saldanha – final-year students of the MV Jayaraman College of Engineering (MVJCE) in Bengaluru – have also been designing concepts for drones, with far more far-flung potential.
The students have created a design in which they believe a person weighing around 50 kg or less could be transported in case of emergencies from the scene of an accident to a local medical facility. Should the design prove effective, future incarnations with higher weight limits could form an aerial fleet of drone ambulances.
Currently, the use of drones is highly regulated in India which could hamper attempts at bringing progress in the field of medical drone technology. However, as both of these groups demonstrate, the field could have huge potential for the future. | aerospace |

Katena Carvajales said traffic increased from 43,407,64 to 45,022,375 travelers bustling through the world’s busiest airport.
“Our passenger numbers reflect the strong growth we have been experiencing at Hartsfield-Jackson over the past year or more,” said Louis Miller, aviation general manager for the airport.
He said passenger traffic is currently higher than the levels experienced in 2008, “which was a record year for the airport.”
On another note, said Carvajales, aircraft operations faced a 2.76 percent decline during the six-month period. This includes aircraft landings and takeoffs, she said.
The number of operations decreased from 470,739 to 457,724, she said. The smaller regional aircraft was the reason for most of the decrease. International aircraft operations rose 11.8 percent, she added.
Air cargo rose 3.16 percent during this year’s six-month time span, from 318,869 to 328,930 metric tons, said Carvajales. International air cargo went up 1.98 percent. | aerospace |

Basarnas will carry out a routine joint SAR exercise program, not only domestically, but also internationally, he said at the Natuna Ranai Search and Rescue Office, Natuna, Riau Islands.
He further informed that the briefing and preparatory training for the Indopura SAR exercise were aimed at ensuring the smooth implementation of the actual exercise.
"So far, the Natuna SAR Office is ready to carry out exercises and operational duties such as personnel readiness and the main tools," he said.
The Natuna SAR Office was chosen as the host of the joint exercise considering the strategic location of the Natuna area and the Flight Information Region (FIR) area, which was previously controlled by Singapore, he added.
Haryono said he expected all pre-training participants of the workshop to take part in the activity seriously and professionally.
"Although this is just a workshop and still indoor, we hope that the participants can carry out the exercise seriously, professionally, and enthusiastically in order to provide the best SAR service," he added.
In 2020, the 38th Indonesia-Singapore joint SAR exercise was held in Pangkalpinang on October 13–15. The exercise, joined by 150 personnel from Basarnas and Singapore Rescue Coordination Centre (RCC), aimed to improve the quality of handling of ship and aircraft accidents and disasters at sea.
The training covered the procedures for international SAR operation, procedures for handling aircraft accidents, communication, and coordination.

This impressive lineup includes 29 fighter aircraft, 8 transport planes, 13 helicopters and one heritage aircraft.
Adding to the significance of the event, 15 women pilots of IAF will take command of various aircraft during the flypast, contributing to the display of prowess and skill. Notably, among these accomplished women pilots is the extraordinary talent from Mysuru, Coluvanda Punya Nanjappa, hailing from Coorg.
She will pilot the MiG-29 fighter jet, contributing to a captivating formation that will undoubtedly fill the hearts of the people in Mysuru and Coorg with immense pride. Punya Nanjappa’s achievement represents a remarkable moment, highlighting the strides made by women in IAF and adding to the grandeur of R-Day celebrations.
Punya Nanjappa stands out as a fighter pilot, a remarkable distinction for a woman with roots in Coorg, a region known for its deep association with defence forces.
Punya is the daughter of Coluvanda Anuradha Nanjappa, who served as a teacher at St. Joseph’s Central School, Vijayanagar, and late Coluvanda P. Bala Nanjappa, who held the position of Manager at Prabha Theatre. The family hails from Chambebellur in Virajpet taluk of Coorg district.
Desire to join NDA
Despite her strong desire to enter the National Defence Academy (NDA), she faced an obstacle as, at that time, the NDA was not open for women. Unfortunately, her dream of joining the NDA remained unfulfilled. However, the circumstances have changed now and women can enroll in NDA.
Nursing the ambition of becoming a pilot in the IAF, Punya Nanjappa’s unwavering ambition to join the elite force was ignited during an Air Show at the renowned Mysuru Dasara festival where she witnessed the captivating displays of prowess in the skies. In pursuit of this dream, Punya enrolled in the National Cadet Corps (NCC), laying the foundation for her journey towards becoming a pilot.
Tough test cleared
Following her academic pursuits, she took on the challenge of the Air Force Common Admission Test (AFCAT), a gateway for officer recruitment in the Flying Branch (Short Service Commission only). It is a nationwide examination with 3.5 lakh participants. Out of the 1,000 shortlisted candidates, Punya Nanjappa secured her place among the 135 selected individuals, marking a triumphant step towards her dream.
Subsequently, she took part in the IAF Service Selection Board Exam in Mysuru where 160 candidates from various States participated. Amidst stiff competition, Punya Nanjappa emerged as the sole candidate selected for piloting responsibilities. Passing the AFCAT in 2018, she later cleared the interview and medical test and was selected as a trainee pilot.
Undergoing rigorous training at the Indian Air Force Academy in Dundigal, Telangana, Punya Nanjappa has now become a proud fighter pilot in the IAF, entrusted with the responsibility of flying the MiG-29 fighter jet during the Republic Day (R-Day)celebrations.
On Jan. 26, Punya Nanjappa will be the sole fighter pilot from Karnataka, soaring through the skies with her skilled piloting of the jet. This accomplishment not only brings pride to the State of Karnataka but also specifically to Mysuru and Coorg.
The significance of this momentous occasion will be heightened as it will be witnessed by key dignitaries including President Droupadi Murmu, the Supreme Commander of India’s Defence Forces, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and India’s 2024 Republic Day guest, French President Emmanuel Macron.
The event is poised to be a remarkable showcase of India’s military prowess, featuring impressive displays by the Indian Army, Indian Air Force, and the Indian Navy.
Flying MiG-29 an unparalleled experience: Punya Nanjappa
My dream of many years is finally coming true and I couldn’t be happier to fly a MiG-29 fighter jet this Republic Day on Jan. 26. Sitting in the cockpit of a MiG-29 is an unparalleled experience and it brings me immense pride to be part of this extraordinary moment of India’s defense showcase, Punya Nanjappa told Star of Mysore.
Fulfilling my long-standing aspiration to fly an IAF fighter jet on Republic Day is a dream realized and I am overjoyed. My mother, too, shares in the pride of this accomplishment. I have conducted the rehearsals for the flight thrice, ensuring a flawless and awe-inspiring display, she said.
This Republic Day, with a significant focus on women’s empowerment by the Centre, numerous opportunities have opened up for women, myself included. Being part of this historic event underscores the strides made in empowering women and breaking barriers. I am grateful for the chance to contribute to this momentous occasion and showcase the capabilities of women in the Indian Air Force, Punya added.
No greater joy for a mother than this
There is no greater joy for a mother than this. What brings more happiness to a mother? I am absolutely thrilled that my daughter has been presented with this incredible opportunity. India has extended more opportunities to women on this Republic Day, to exhibit their strength and capabilities.
My daughter has faced numerous challenges to reach this point and even in the face of her father’s passing away, she remained resilient and did not succumb to the pain.
The aspiration to join the Indian Air Force had been ingrained in her from the very beginning and she was upset to leave me alone. But her passion to serve the country prevailed. I am filled with immense pride to see her fly the MiG-29. —Anuradha Nanjappa, Punya Nanjappa’s mother
Her journey has been far from easy
Punya Nanjappa is the embodiment of hard work and dedication. Despite the profound sorrow of losing her father, she stayed resolute in pursuing her aspirations and achieving her goals. This accomplishment is not just a source of pride for Mysuru but for Karnataka and Coorg. Her journey has been far from easy, marked by relentless effort and a strong resolve to attain her objectives. Her unwavering commitment to excellence is rewarded. —Rtn. A.N.

South-West Microlight School senior flight instructor Paul Coffey said ultralight planes were not generally dangerous and accidents were not common.
“That is an extremely rare happening,” Mr Coffey said.
Police said the man had been working on a recreational ultralight plane at a Halls Head property when he died at 10.35am.
Initial reports that the plane was airborne and had crashed into the property were incorrect.
“I have been involved for more than 20 years and I have only ever heard of one other (incident) where someone has been killed,” Mr Coffey said.
“It sounds to me that while the engine was running, the propeller was running and he had a bit of an entanglement.
“If the propeller is spinning and you walk into it, your chances of survival are not good.
“Propellers spin at over 500 miles per hour. Walk into one of those and you’re dead.”
South-West Microlight School is a Bunbury-based pilot training centre.
It is believed the Dawesville man was a fully qualified pilot and had access to his own aircraft.
Anyone over the age of 15 can obtain an aviation licence, according to the Civil Aviation Safety Authority.
Police said there was no criminality involved and officers would prepare a report for the coroner.
Police are yet to confirm the cause of death. | aerospace |

He found that this experience profoundly affects space travelers’ worldviews—their perceptions of themselves, our planet, and our understanding of the future. White notes that astronauts know from direct experience what the rest of us know intellectually: we live on a planet that is a natural spaceship moving through the universe at a high rate of speed. We are, in fact, the crew of “Spaceship Earth,” as Buckminster Fuller described our world. All of us are, in a very real sense, astronauts, exploring the cosmos every day, even though we don’t always see it that way!
In The Overview Effect: Space Exploration and Human Evolution, 4th Edition, Frank White expands on his original concept, which has now gained worldwide recognition. Using interviews with, and writings by, astronauts and cosmonauts, he describes space exploration and development as necessary next steps in the evolution of human civilization and consciousness. The fourth edition features new interviews with active and retired professional astronauts, including three who were on board the International Space Station at the time. He has also continued to interview future “citizen astronauts” who will be flying in the near future on commercial spaceflights. | aerospace |

Here are a few reasons:
1) Well, first of all, I laid their uniforms out for school this morning and then noticed as we were walking out the door that S and JP had accidentally put on each other's pants. This may be more reason why the two of them should not be allowed to leave the house more than fly into space.
2) At some point the International Space Station would need to be resupplied and if The Quartet scheduled the supply shuttle to blast off at, say, 8 a.m. one morning, then they would wait until 7:58 a.m. to even begin looking for the things that needed to fill up that ship.
3) I have the feeling they would spend the budget of billions on one gyroscope for stability and direction and blow the rest on televisions, DVDs and cheese pizza for their stay aboard.
4) Immediately upon arrival at the Space Station, the engineers at mission control back on Earth would have to endure the question "Where are we going next?" for the duration of the stay.
5) These kids are clumsy enough with gravity, zero gravity would be a whole new problem for them.
6) The International Space Station is located way too far from their mama. | aerospace |

Nigeria airlines have increased fares for domestic flights to at least N80,000 depending on the trip over the rising cost of aviation fuel and foreign exchange (FX) crisis.
Checks on Friday showed that Azman Air flight from Lagos to Kano/Kaduna increased from about N60,000 to N100,000.
Air Peace also increased fares to N80,000 for flights to Abuja from Lagos, while a return journey is now N85,000.
From Port Harcourt to Kano, the flight price is pegged at N85,000 for the same airline.
Ibom Air, on its website, pegged the price at N80,000 for the same routes, while Max Air goes for N84,000 for Lagos to Abuja flights while Port Harcourt to Kano is around N130,000.
The increase in fares may not be unconnected to the multiple challenges in Nigeria’s air travel sector. The aviation industry is faced with a surge in the prices of jet A1 fuel which is significantly affecting operations.
During an emergency meeting with Hadi Sirika, minister of aviation, on Tuesday, the Airline Operators Association of Nigeria (AON) decried that aviation fuel has surged to about N1000 per litre from N180 per litre.
Abdulmunaf Yunusa Sarina, president, AON, said the forex crisis was also a huge burden on the industry.
On his part, Sirika said the variables impacting the crises in the aviation sector were beyond the industry’s control, and as such, “there is no immediate solution”.
He, however, said the federal government is working to end the hike in aviation fuel prices through the revitalization of refineries and coming on stream of the Dangote refinery. | aerospace |

It is very likely that it will be used in future space related experiments.
The international Mars house project began at the beginning of 2013 and Estonians were given a task of great responsibility—creating the technology of the self-erecting house. In January 2015, researchers of the University of Tartu Institute of Technology finished their part of the project and sent the house, which packs and unpacks itself within a few minutes, to France where partners continued to install the interior and life-providing systems.
By now the house, which was named after the challenging living conditions on planet Mars, is complete and it was presented on 15 December in Strasbourg in France at the International Space University. Mars house project manager at UT Institute of Technology Priit Kull said that in all likelihood the Mars house will remain at the International Space University: “Starting next year, the house is on the market, so to say, and then we will see what the market wants of it.”
Kull was hopeful that after the successful completion of the Mars house, the UT team will get new opportunities to participate in similar projects. “There have been some talks, but nothing certain as of yet,” Kull implied.
In its packed form the house is a 6 metres long and 2.4 metres wide box, which weighs 6000 kg and fits on the trailer of a large truck. In a typical mission scenario, the construction can house two people for at least two weeks. The building has all the necessary rooms and its design resembles a classical home: sleeping area, kitchen, bathroom, toilet and work rooms.
Researchers of UT Institute of Technology built the Mars house in the framework of the international SHEE project. The goal of the SHEE project is to develop a planetary habitat testbed for terrestrial analogue simulations. The so called Mars house is well-suited, for example, to use on Earth in disaster areas or in extreme conditions during research work.

Now imagine the same for the EVTOL market. Well, here is your chance, don’t let this opportunity pass you by, again!
The eVTOL industry is one of the fastest growing industries around.
THE 3 Reasons why ASDND (OTCQB-ASDND) could be setting up for a run to $100++ per share:
- eVTOL Market is hot hot hot!
- Joby Aviation is reportedly in talks to go public in a SPAC deal that would value the electric plane manufacturer at nearly $5.7 billion
- Lilium is rumored to have a capital investment in this Forbes article, “SPAC cash that a source says could be in a range of $700 million to $800 million”
- Archer announced that “United has now put in a (highly provisional) US$1 billion dollar order for “up to 200” of Archer’s Maker eVTOL air taxis”
- ASDND’s news is significant and the market has responded!
- ASDND is going to apply to be uplisted to the NASDAQ
- Astro Aerospace acquires Horizon Aircraft
- The Chart is up 100% since the split on February 5th
- Strong consolidation
- Bullish Trendline
- 100% growth
The eVTOL Market
The eVTOL Market is a multi-billion dollar industry and is scheduled to reach 15 Billion in less than 10 years, accounting for over a 200% gain in market value! The buzz around this industry is boiling over, just ponder that “The Air Force may spend hundreds of millions on development and procurement of electrical vertical takeoff and landing eVTOL aircraft before 2025”, according to officials behind Agility Prime.
Astro Aerospace OTCMKTS-ASDND is the leader and pioneer in the eVTOL space! What is an eVTOL? It stands for Electrical Vertical Take-Off and Landing aircraft. ASDND was the first and only publicly traded company to fly, manned or unmanned, eVTOL. The future is here!
Astro Aerospace is one of the first companies to revolutionize and successfully fly an eVTOL in an explosive industry to be valued over $74 billion dollars. Now that Astro Aerospace has announced pre-sales for Alta in 2021, this could be a harbinger for the greatest growth Astro Aerospace ASDND has ever seen.
Astro Aerospace is defining the future of urban transportation by making safe, affordable and user-friendly autonomous manned and unmanned aircraft available to anyone, anytime, anywhere.
Most investors are just becoming aware of this emerging market, so we will remind you of how serious this “flying car” thing really is. Uber announced an air service rideshare in October of last year, “Uber Air service is planned for 2023 utilizing electric VTOL (vertical takeoff and landing) aircraft in Dallas and Los Angeles.)
Lets review the “competition” for Astro Aerospace, because upon further review it becomes clear that there is a sleeping giant amongst the darlings of the eVTOL sector.
Just one year ago, Joby acquired over $500 million from Toyota led investors. They followed up that incredible news with even better news, they picked up Uber’s flying taxi business! Now, Joby Aviation is reportedly in talks to go public in a SPAC deal that would value the electric plane manufacturer at nearly $5.7 billion.
Lilium, the German eVTOL is positioning itself to go public through a reverse merger with a special purpose acquisition company. Lilium might have had issues raising funds in the beginning but the eVTOL company has been valued at $1 billion by private-equity investors. A Forbes contributor says they, “could unveil details along with an infusion of SPAC cash that a source says could be in a range of $700 million to $800 million: It’s quietly been developing a much larger, seven-seat version of its boundary-pushing aircraft.” LINK HERE
This market is hot, deals are being struck everywhere! There is another big SPAC transaction in electric planes (for Archer Aviation), if the Financial Times’ reporting is accurate, then that would mean that Archer and Joby will soon be publicly traded at a total value approaching $10 billion. HERE
Covid has really hurt the airline industry of late but that didn’t stop United from placing a (highly provisional) US$1 billion dollar order for “up to 200” of Archer’s Maker eVTOL air taxis, with an option for an additional 500 million’s worth down the track. As part of the agreement, United will “contribute its expertise in airspace management to assist Archer with the development of battery-powered, short-haul aircraft. LINK HERE
Announced lately, Archer is raising $1.1 billion through a SPAC merger with Atlas Crest Investment Corp. This merger is estimated to be valued at $3.8 billion. Who are the ones backing this deal: Stellantis and United Airlines are rumored behind this SPAC merger.
Astro Aerospace’s biggest competitive advantage is not only their technology but timing as well. Most competitors are scheduled for sales to begin in 2025, while Astra Aerospace is offering pre-sales in 2021. New ALTA platform includes their proprietary foldable patent pending “Air Frame” design with compact size and nimble maneuverability, which flies solo and connects to a series of designed “Pods” enabling Astro’s modular system to perform in multi-use applications, such as passenger, cargo, agricultural, med-evac, rescue, military and many others.
Alta Cockpit4, passenger POD
What truly sets Astro Aerospace apart from all other competitors is twofold:
1. Pod Technology
2. The timeline to enter the market.
Astro Aerospace development of Alta’s pod technology allows the user to switch from cargo mode to passenger mode. This allows private citizens the ability to use their property, without certificates from the government, to operate Alta. This strategic decision affords Astro Aerospace the competitive advantage by entering the market before any other competitor could. Lilium is one of Astro Aerospace biggest competitors and they are quoted as ready to enter the market in 2025, three years after Astro. “Lilium says it remains “on track” to launch passenger operations in several locations around the world by 2025” according to Verge. Moreover, Alta is not built just for civilians. Alta’s pod technology is perfect for Military, enterprises such as Uber or Lyft, cargo transport, and search and rescue missions.
Astro Aerospace just acquired Horizon Aircraft and as you can see from the diagram above, Horizon beats it’s competition on every significant metric: It is the fastest with the longest range and carries up to 5 people. When reviewing the above information it becomes clear that Astro is making a move to compete and dominate market share with it’s competition in 2021. Let’s take a close look at the buzz & news surrounding Astro Aerospace.
Overview: Astro Aerospace acquires Horizon Aircraft with a $65M market valuation & announces it plans to apply to be uplisted to the NASDAQ! | aerospace |

- The only one of its kind in Europe, the Pontoise vertiport now has all the aeronautical and passenger components needed to develop future electric aircraft services: hangar, take-off and landing area, passenger terminal, control areas.
- The entire passenger journey, which is as close as possible to the configuration projected for 2024, can now be tested there: terminal access, control formalities - based on biometric technologies deployed by SITA - and aircraft boarding.
- In addition, Volocopter made a flight in conventional air traffic today.
The first vertiport passenger terminal in Europe
Designed and developed by Skyports and the ADP Group, the passenger terminal inaugurated today will serve as a test bed in order to prepare for the experimentation planned in 2024 and the upcoming launch of passenger services, for:
- the complete passenger journey: check-in and controls, journey time, boarding;
- Aircraft integration: procedures related to ground movement and loading and maintenance operations;
- flight scheduling and passenger information.
This passenger terminal features all of Skyports' expertise in developing infrastructure for new air mobility, in terms of safety, regulatory compliance, efficiency and functionality. Its compact size(115 m²) has been designed to provide both a comfortable passenger experience with fast circulation and the smallest possible footprint. The modular design of this infrastructure gives it great flexibility of use and has resulted in a speedy and simple construction with a strong focus on reducing work-related waste and sourcing materials that favor short supply chains.
Today's inauguration marks the culmination of twelve months of test campaigns at the Pontoise airfield and was accompanied by a Volocopter flight in conventional airspace, alongside another aircraft and demonstrated the interaction between the passenger terminal and the eVTOL.
Created in 2020, the Paris Region ecosystem for new air mobility brings together some thirty industrial, academic and regulatory stakeholders with the goal of addressing all the issues at stake: aircraft, operations, infrastructure, airspace management and acceptability. Concerning eVTOLs manufacturers - after Volocopter, Airbus, Ascendance Flight Technologies, Lilium, Joby Aviation, Vertical Aerospace - Eve Air Mobility, a dedicated subsidiary of Embraer, has recently joined the industry.
In 2023: develop uses and implement five additional vertiports by 2024
The Pontoise test bed is intended to promote the development of new uses, such as logistics, monitoring and maintenance, sanitary and medical.
In the medical field, the ADP and RATP groups are working with Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris (AP-HP) in order to assess the conditions for a demonstration in a real environment by 2024, with the use of light aircraft to meet three types of transportation needs: the transportation of biological material, light casualties and specialized doctors, from Paris-Le Bourget, a major medical airport for Paris Region.
The know-how developed with this test terminal in Pontoise will be used directly for the development of several vertiports in Paris Region to meet the 2024 deadline and offer two passenger connections between:
- Paris and Versailles (between Paris-Issy-les-Moulineaux heliport and Saint-Cyr l’École airfield) ;
- The Paris-Charles de Gaulle and Paris-Le Bourget airports and a site in Paris, quai d'Austerlitz (barge project on the Seine).
Administrative procedures are underway for the creation of these five vertiports.
Volocopter - whose 2X model is so far the only one authorized by the DGAC for test flights at Pontoise airfield - is in the process of obtaining the European certification that will allow it to fly at all the above-mentioned vertiports.
Thus, by 2024, the planned experimentation will be based on:
- a Volocity fleet (Volocopter aircraft) ready to be deployed in Paris and Paris Region;
- each aircraft will be able to perform 2-3 flights per hour. | aerospace |

Hollywood was supposed to be the first to shoot a feature film in space starring Tom Cruise but Russia has launched a rival bid in the first film in the space league.
Russia is sending an actor and director to the International Space Station in October, with the ambition of making the first feature film in space. The crew are scheduled to begin their expedition on 5 October 2021.
However, the exact date of Tom Cruise’s and the director Doug Liman has not been revealed. But the duo is also due to travel there in October to make a movie. Space seems to be the venue of America and Russian’s encounter.
The departure of the Russians in the first few days of the month suggests an intention to beat the Americans to be ahead in the league of first feature films in space.
Shortly after Hollywood confirmed the ambitions feature film in space starring Cruise to go into low Earth orbit, backed by Nasa and Elon Musk, news of Russia to be mounting a rival production sprang.
In November 2020, the Russian space agency Roscosmos said that it was searching for “a real superhero to go to the stars … at the same time as becoming a big international star”.
The potential female lead in the film needed to be between 25 and 40 years old and a Russian citizen, to weigh between 50kg and 70kg and have a “chest girth” of up to 112cm.
“Additionally, she must be able to run 1km in three and a half minutes or less, swim 800 metres freestyle in 20 minutes, and dive from a 3-metre springboard with an impressive technique.” The previous acting experience was not required.
On Thursday, Russia’s first movie to be shot in space will star the actor Yulia Peresild, 36, and be directed by Klim Shepenko, 37.
Both will undergo training including centrifuge tests and flights in zero gravity, starting no later than 1 June. This pre-flight boot camp will be documented by one of Russia’s main TV channels, Channel One, which will also be involved in producing the film.
Peresild’s previous work includes roles in popular Russian TV series and a number of patriotic war films, including 2015’s Battle for Sevastopol, in which she played Lyudmila Pavlichenko, a young Soviet woman who joined the red army and became an accomplished sniper.
Shipenko’s most recent release was Salyut 7, a disaster movie recreating the 1985 Soyuz T-13 mission to dock with and retrieve a space station after contact with it was lost.
Roscosmos said ‘Challenge’ will be a “space drama” that would aim to “popularise Russia’s space activities, as well as glorify the cosmonaut profession”. No further details of the plot or about Peresild’s role have been released.
Roscosmos’s director-general, Dmitry Rogozin, will co-produce the film. | aerospace |

Until Ron Howard made a movie about the flight, Apollo 13 was a largely forgotten mission. Today it is moderately famous, but for a self-confessed space geek it has always been memorable. Not only was it a disaster with a happy ending, but it was the flight when I discovered mission patches. With its three galloping horses pulling the sun chariot of Apollo, the drama and visual artistry of Lumen Winter’s design immediately hooked me on collecting patches. After all these years, Apollo 13’s patch is still my favourite, never equalled in the multitude of designs that followed.
My collection tends to concentrate on the early, pioneering days of spaceflight: Gemini, Apollo, Skylab. Amid the 100-plus patches designed for Shuttle flights, there are really only a handful with truly inspired design. The design for the first flight to repair the ailing Hubble Space Telescope is largely abstract, suggesting optics and light rays rather than depicting the telescope literally. But most are based on depictions of hardware, with a liberal dose of Stars and Stripes for those patriotic quasi-military astronauts. There is little drama that can be eked out of a design that features space hardware. Frank Kelly Freas probably came closest with his lovely sunburst design for the 1973 Skylab 1 mission (one of the few patches that is far more beautiful in its embroidered form than in the original design).
In the world of spaceflight, predictability is everything; drama to be avoided at all costs. So I find irony in the fact that Apollo 13, the mission with the most dramatic patch design, ended up being the most dramatic mission in spaceflight history.
Sewn NASA patches from the collection of Nigel Proktor. The main pilots of each space mission initiated the design of the motifs.

Meacham Field. Instructor and students
Fort Worth Municipal Airport began its operations in July 1925. Originally composed of just 100 acres, the early days of the facility saw aircraft operating from runways composed of dirt and sod. The young airport was founded by former Fort Worth mayor, Henry C. Meacham (1869-1929) and was renamed Meacham Field in his honor in 1927. He pledged $1,200 of his own money to build a caretaker’s cottage at the airport in 1925.
National Air Transport’s first air mail flight leaves Fort Worth Municipal Airport for Chicago with stops in Wichita, Kansas City, St. Joseph and Moline.
In February 1928, the first airline passenger to ever fly out of Texas on a scheduled airline flight departed from Meacham Field, headed for Oklahoma City. This event soon ushered in the era of regularly scheduled airline passenger service at the facility, beginning in 1929.
Meacham was the scene of the first aerial refueling as a world’s flight endurance record was set. In the first year of available records, Meacham had 4,511 aircraft and 5,446 passengers and crew use the field.
In 1932, the airport saw significant growth when American Airways (now American Airlines) relocated half of its southern division headquarters personnel and two of its airmail routes to Meacham from Love Field. American Airways dedicated a new hangar and office building in October 1933 and by 1936, the airport had paved its runways and constructed a new terminal building.
In 1937, Meacham opens a new terminal drawing a large crowd for activities dedicating the field’s new terminal facilities and runways.
When World War II started, Meacham Airport became part of the U.S. Navy’s network to move fighter planes and torpedo bombers built in New England across the country to the Pacific fleet.
The airport handled 80,576 military aircraft in 1944 and another 63,540 in 1945.
In 1946, Meacham recorded its busiest year with 167,267 private and military planes carrying 718,671 passengers.
With the airplanes also came the airplane repair businesses to Meacham, including Broadie's Aircraft which serviced Beech 18 and DC-3 planes, offering aircraft overhauls and fixing engines to keep planes running. The company is one of the oldest continuously operated businesses at Meacham, and moved into a new 64,000-square-foot hangar in 2012. (source)

How did it all go so wrong?
Overbooking on flights happens all the time. Empty seats cost airlines money, so they offset the number of passengers who miss flights by selling too many tickets.
In this case, the problem arose because United decided at the last minute to fly four members of staff to a connection point and needed to bump four passengers to make way for them.
When there’s an overbooking issue the first step is to offer an inducement to the passengers to take a later flight. On Sunday passengers were offered $400 (£322), a hotel room for the night, and a flight the following afternoon.
When no one took the offer, the amount was upped to $800. Still no one bit, so a manager boarded the flight and informed passengers that four people would be selected to leave the flight.
That selection is based on several factors, but frequent fliers and higher fare-paying passengers are given priority to stay aboard, a spokeswoman for United confirmed.”

On Wednesday, the space agency revealed the first batch of images from the daring operation, revealing a delicate-yet-explosive moment between rock and robot.
Osiris-Rex traveled all that way to perform a short touch-and-go maneuver. Its major goal is to collect a sample from the asteroid’s surface and transport it back to Earth for study.
On Tuesday, NASA TV reported the spacecraft’s robotic sampling arm, named Touch-And-Go Sample Acquisition Mechanism, or Tagsam, did touch down on Bennu. During the brief contact, it performed what amounts to a cosmic pickpocketing maneuver. Mission planners expected that the total time of contact between the arm and asteroid would be less than 16 seconds. When preliminary data was released on Wednesday, it showed that the period of contact was just six seconds, with much of the sample collection happening in only the first three seconds.
The spacecraft, which operates largely autonomously due to the 18-minute communications delay with mission control on Earth, fired a canister of gas through Tagsam that disrupted the surface of Bennu and should have enabled a sample to make its way up into the arm’s collector head.
Osiris-Rex was designed to touch down on a flat, even surface, but Bennu is so rocky the team found no suitable space. Fortunately, Osiris-Rex outperformed its design and was able to perform its sampling on a site dubbed Nightingale, which is only about as big as a few parking spaces.
Osiris-Rex tags a boulder
Around 24 hours after the operation, NASA shared the first images of the touchdown operation captured by the spacecraft. The Tagsam moves into position and its sampling head makes contact with Bennu’s surface before the explosive burst of nitrogen is fired. The operation kicks up a ton of debris that flies around the acquisition arm. It’s really something!
Although the above GIF appears relatively fast, the operation proceeded much more delicately. The arm was lowered at around 10 centimeters per second, much slower than walking pace, when it contacted the sample site.
The team’s goal is to collect about 60 grams of dust, dirt and pebbles from the surface of Bennu. To determine if that goal has been met, Osiris-Rex has maneuvered to a safe distance and will now move its arm into position to take photos of the collector head and weigh how much mass lies within.
There’s no guarantee Osiris-Rex has collected a significant sample. As the spacecraft approached and then spent two years orbiting and surveying Bennu, it became clear this tiny world is different from what scientists expected. The team hoped to find a number of sandy surfaces ideal for sampling, but it turns out Bennu is a rubble pile, with a rugged terrain strewn with boulders.
More measurements will be required to confirm material is within the sampling head, but if Osiris-Rex has succeeded, it will join Japan’s Hayabusa andin the annals of asteroid exploration. Hayabusa sampled and returned a tiny bit of material from asteroid Itokawa, and Hayabusa2 is in the process of returning a significant sample of space rock Ryugu.
Should the mission gather up a sample, it will begin a long journey back to Earth, with a planned landing in the Utah desert in September 2023.
Updated Oct. 21: To clarify the amount of time Osiris-Rex spent on Bennu. | aerospace |

Moore, an 8-year-old Hamilton resident, has a thirst for knowledge about space and space science, and The Space Gal’s television shows, YouTube videos and books are just some of the ways she learns about her favorite subject.
Last year, NASA invited students in grades K-12 to submit essays for its “Power to Explore” challenge. The challenge asked entrants to watch a video about radioisotope power systems, or RPS, and “dream up a new RPS-powered space mission.”
Moore was among the 1,600 students nationwide who submitted essays for the challenge. In March, she learned that she had been chosen as a semifinalist in the contest, and in April, she found out that she was chosen as one of three finalists in grades K-4. Luca Pollack of Carlsbad, California, was announced as the winner of the age group on April 25.
“I really want to be an aerospace engineer when I grow up, and build rockets,” Moore told the Hamilton Post. “I really think space is cool, and all the planets and I want to see if there are any different lifeforms maybe. When I’m older I want to see if I can go to Olympus Mons (on Mars) and, like, fact find and see if there’s any lifeforms there.”
Moore, 8, is a student at Princeton Day School. Her brother, Sebastian, 13, is also a student there. Mom Sarah, a Steinert High School graduate, is supervisor of elementary education for Princeton Public Schools. Dad David, a biochemist, graduated from Hamilton High School West.
“We are always really proud of both of the kids, but really pleasantly surprised when Noelle made the top 15 out of 1,600 applicants,” Sarah Moore said. “We told her don’t worry (if you don’t win), it’s an honor to get that far. When we found out that she was in the top 3, it was super exciting for her.”
NASA asked entrants to submit Q&A responses in addition to their essays. In response to the question, “Why did you choose to submit an essay?” she wrote:
“I’ve loved space and engineering since I was three. I’m always reading about space, watching videos about aerospace engineering, and my entire bedroom is decorated with NASA items.”
Noelle’s essay is below.
RPS Helping The Mars Mission
By Noelle Moore
The year is 2038, and I am currently building my first spacecraft as an aerospace engineer at NASA. This spacecraft will use radioisotope power systems on its mission to Mars. The spacecraft’s goal is to explore Olympus Mons, which is the largest volcano in the solar system. It is three times the size of Mount Everest. The RPS on my spacecraft will fuel and heat my spacecraft so that I can do research around how we can tap into ancient pockets of water in Olympus Mons to help encourage settlement on Mars.
Water is important to help create an environment where people can live. If we can figure out how to access water from Olympus Mons, we can help support settlement on Mars.
My superpower is that I’m dyslexic, but I’m very good at reading because I’ve worked hard to practice. I think my superpower will help me work at NASA, because I am VERY talented at math and science, and I’m a creative thinker. A percentage of NASA employees are dyslexic, so I think my superpower will help me fit in. | aerospace |

He wants to connect it with important airports in Germany.
Preparations are underway in Austria for the launch of a new private airline, Liliair. The carrier wants to support the development of scheduled flights from Klagenfurt from April. The airline is backed by the largest shareholder of the local airport, the Lilihill Group. It plans to invest €27 million in the airline over the next three years.
The airline expects to receive its air operator’s certificate (AOC) early next year, and plans to start selling tickets during January. It expects to reach approximately 50,000 passengers in the first year.
The carrier plans to fly two Bombardier CRJ900 aircraft. Both are to be operated by Malta-based Flite, the European arm of Mesa Airlines. Liliair is to connect Austria’s sixth largest city and the capital of Carinthia with Frankfurt, Hamburg and Munich. The airline will fly to Frankfurt up to twice a day, while the other two destinations will be served three times a week. It is the connection to these major German airports that the airport currently lacks.
During the current winter schedule, Klagenfurt has regular flights to Vienna, Cologne, Charleroi Airport near Brussels, London Stansted Airport, Manchester and Dublin. Low-cost carrier Ryanair is the most represented carrier, with Eurowings operating the only route to Germany. Domestic connections to the capital are operated by domestic Austrian Airlines. From January, Transavia will fly to Rotterdam.

Our expert teams can capture your Ultra High Definition Aerial Video, Aerial Photography, Panoramic VR Photography/Video and UHD Digital Aerial Cinematography in the most dynamic, cost effective and flexible way possible. Our Fleet of 8 aircraft is the most versatile in the industry, .
Perfect Perspectives was one of the worlds first Drone Aerial Cinematography companies with the professional UAS experience to safely carry ultra high definition (UHD) digital cinema cameras like RED EPIC for the motion picture industry. While others had set their goals to carry DSLR cameras, the pioneers at Perfect Perspectives were already carrying 8-10 lb. professional grade cameras and has done so since 2005.
Perfect Perspectives also utilizes smaller 700 class electric powered helicopters for DSLR Aerial Video and Aerial Photography that are ultra smooth, fast and quiet. These rigs are fitted with the latest brushless gimbals and are perfect for carrying a wide range of DSLR and mirrorless cameras such as the Canon 5D Mark iii or Panasonic GH4, all without the need for any post stabilization, guaranteed! For episodic television, marketing and real estate photography we also employ several DJI Inspire Quadcopters for 4K Drone video and aerial photography.
Perfect Perspectives also provides traditional aerial video and imaging from full size aircraft using our revolutionary Freefly Systems Movi M5/M10/M15 gimbals when use of remotely piloted RC aircraft is not the best option. We are the world’s only company to have designed and perfected aerodynamic camera enclosures for these gimbals. The proprietary design allows the gimbal to ignore wind direction when flying at high speeds. This is perfect for high speed vehicle or drone shots. You don’t have to settle for shots at only 35 mph in calm winds any more!
Perfect Perspectives provides ultra smooth 6K UHD Red Epic Dragon and Arri Alexa Mini aerial video for big budget feature films, television programs, Sports, advertising and everything in between.
Perfect Perspectives Aerial is the leader providing professional drone aerial video & photography services in Cincinnati, Columbus & Cleveland for 11 years.
Our chief pilot was a top ranked RC helicopter competition pilot for over 20 years in precision aerobatics, known internationally as FAI-F3C. In 1993 his flying talents helped Team USA win the FAI World Championship. Pilots of this caliber are without question the world’s best and are the equivalent of Formula One drivers in the auto racing world. After retiring from international competition, he went on to consult for defense industry giants General Dynamics and Northrop Grumman test flying drones. This vast experience, combined with a love of cinematography and photography, lead to the development of Perfect Perspectives Aerial Imaging, LLC.
Hardly a week goes by without a new client telling us of a botched aerial shoot caused by a “PRO” aerial company who thought that buying a multicopter and hiring a pilot with just a few months of camera flying experience was adequate. Don’t put your company’s reputation at risk. In 11 years of drone aerial filming, we have never failed to safely get the shots our clients needed.
Why is this top level of experience and talent important? Most importantly is safety. A pilot with this pedigree has honed the skills necessary to safely get the most demanding shots over tens of thousands of flights, just like a senior rated airline pilot. Less experienced pilots must rely on autopilots to help fly the aircraft in difficult situations. While top pilots may also use this advanced technology, the important difference here is they can fly safely without it, just like the famous pilot who landed his loaded passenger jet safely in the Hudson river.

the Near-Earth Asteroid Scout (NEA Scout) is a minor Craft called CubeSat, and it will be one of 10 secondary payloads on the upcoming Artemis I unmanned test flight (currently scheduled for March 2022). The satellite is only about the size of a shoebox, but the reflective sail that will carry it through space is unfolding too 925 square meters. Gas engines will put the CubeSat on a trajectory to the nearby asteroid target, but solar sail will do the propulsion work for the remainder of the two-year journey.
Solar sails use the momentum of the Sun’s photons to propel spacecraft forward. Because rocket fuel is a significant factor Given the weight of spacecraft and their lifespan in space, it pays to use as little as possible. The larger the shade sail, the more sunlight the vehicle can capture. By changing the position of the sail too the NEA Scout can change the angle of incidence of the solar radiation its trajectory.
The Scout will fly to an asteroid called 2020 GE, which was first seen in March 2020 (hence its name). The asteroid is less than 60 feet in diameter, and since asteroids its size have never been explored up close, it is a great goodbyech aim. Smaller stones can still have harmful effects when they hit the ground, like them Chelyabinsk Meteor In 2013.
„Although large asteroids are of most concern from a planetary defense perspective, objects like 2020 GE are far more common and, despite their smaller size, can pose a threat to our planet,” said Julie Castillo-Rogez, the lead science investigator for the NEA Scout mission NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, in an agency release. „2020 GE represents a class of asteroids about which we currently know very little.”
The CubeSat has a camera on board to gather information about it Composition, size and characteristics of 2020 GE. It could be a solid rock or a collection of dusty and smaller rocks clustered together like an asteroid Determine. Asteroids continue to be a point of interest for NASA; the Lucy mission to study Jupiter’s Trojan asteroids started in October 2021 and the Psyche mission is set to start this August.
Apart from asteroids, the NEA Scout also paves the way for two more solar sails Missions: the Advanced Composite Solar Sail System, which is scheduled to start in mid-2022 at the earliest, according to the NASA website, and the sun cruiserthat will go towards the sun in 2025 with a whopping 18,000 square foot sail. The future for space sailing technology is bright.

CD-Adapco works in partnership with Maya Simulation and Spike Aerospace to create the next generation of supersonic business aircraft. The aerodynamics are crucial for the performance, the design and the reduction of the sonic boom. Spike Aerospace believes that Star-CCM + is the most efficient and effective simulation software for this application.

Accelerate travel times significantly
"Our CFD engineers found the networking capabilities of Star-CCM + better than those of the competition, they appear to be more intuitive and easier to use," said Vik Kachoria, President and CEO of Spike Aerospace. “Star-CCM + is an indispensable tool in any aerodynamic project in aircraft construction because it offers a number of functions that help optimize the shape of the aircraft. The goal is to reduce fuel consumption, ensure stability and help the aircraft achieve the specified performance goals."
As soon as the Spike S-512 is ready to take off and is fully functional in the early 2020s, it is said to revolutionize the field of business travel. The time spent on flights from New York to London or from London to Dubai is halved so that business trips can make better use of their time reserves.
Virtual tests with the digital Zwiling
"Star-CCM + helps us build a robust, efficient aircraft that enables better connections around the world," said Kachoria.
Star-CCM + enables Spike Aerospace to use the power of digitization to increase efficiency and quality while at the same time achieving an optimal machine design. Star-CCM + helps with the analysis of aerodynamics during development and right into the flight phase.
"The importance of aerodynamics is clearly shown in the additional time saved during the design phase," says Durrell Rittenberg, director of aerospace and defense at CD-Adapco. “The ability to carry out this project completely digitally is a great advantage. There are only a few supersonic wind tunnels, so the concept of the digital twin and the aerodynamic tests in the computer are extremely important.”(Mz)

Studies have estimated that the risk of dying of cancer from all causes is about per population in the United States. 8 Among crew members, radiation exposure from 20 years of high-altitude flight may increase this risk to cancer-related deaths per 8 Thus, aided by more specific estimates of galactic radiation exposure (e.g., those obtained using the CARI-6 software Cited by: 2. Conversely, short trips to more southerly destinations reduce exposure. During the hour-and-a-half flight from West Palm Beach, Fla., to Atlanta, passengers receive slightly more radiation than a Author: Ken Kaye.
NASA scientists say not including geomagnetic effects on solar radiation in modeling radiation exposure could underestimate the dosage by 30 to percent. Researchers looked at passengers and crew on typical flights from Chicago to Beijing, Chicago to Stockholm and London to New York, during what is known as the Halloween Storm. Cosmic radiation during air travel poses little threat, but may be a consideration for pregnant travelers who are frequent fliers (such as aircrew). Older airport security machines are magnetometers and are not harmful to the fetus. Newer security machines use backscatter x .
Cosmic rays are high-energy protons and atomic nuclei which move through space at nearly the speed of originate from the sun, from outside of the solar system, and from distant galaxies. Upon impact with the Earth's atmosphere, cosmic rays can produce showers of secondary particles that sometimes reach the from the Fermi Space Telescope () have been interpreted as. The major source of radiation exposure from air travel comes from the flight itself. This is because at high altitude the air gets thinner. The farther you go from the Earth’s surface, the fewer molecules of gas there are per volume of space. Thinner air thus means fewer molecules to deflect incoming cosmic rays – radiation from outer space.

Almost nothing is known about possible risks to behavior and brain function more» after radiation exposure, such as found after the emission of solar flares or from long-term exposure from galactic cosmic radiation.
Cosmic rays are the largest source of radiation exposure associated with flying, and it may have health impacts on flight crews. A new study suggests that the risk of cancer may be increased, but "may" is the operative word. As for the flying public, there should be no concern.
Abstract— Air carrier crews are occupationally exposed to ionizing radiation, principally from galactic cosmic radiation. To promote radiation safety in aviation the Federal Aviation Administration has: issued educational material on the nature of the radiation received during air travel; recommended radiation exposure limits for pregnant and nonpregnant aircrew members; developed computer.

Cosmic radiation is an ionizing radiation produced when primary photons and α particles from outside the solar system interact with components of the earth's atmosphere. A second source of cosmic radiation is the release of charged particles from the sun, which become significant during periods of solar.
In addition to tracking cosmic radiation from air travel, the app accounts for gamma radiation and cosmic radiation on the ground and medical. detect any significant short-term variation in radiation levels during flight.
–Such variations may arise as a result of solar flares, or other solar events, which can cause a sharp increase in the solar component of cosmic radiation, especially at altitudes above 15km.

Cosmic radiation is a form of radiation that comes from outside the solar system, and from particles released during solar flares. The intensity of cosmic radiation depends on the year (due to solar cycles), altitude, latitude and length of exposure. The amount of high-altitude cosmic radiation that travelers are exposed to during a six-hour flight is to times greater than a dose received by walking through one of the TSA's backscatter X-ray scanners.

The first aircraft Dad received R.C.A.F. training in was the 'Fleet Finch' when he commenced Elementary Flying at No. 9 E.F.T.S. in St. Catharines, Ontario. "When we passed I.T.S. we went to St. Catharines on elementary flying and this is the old 'Fleet Finch' at St. Catharines.
"They were lovely little trainers."
On their initial flight together January 6, 1942...
...'he asked me to duplicate a few turns etc.
He soon yelled into the intercom, "How many hours do you have?"
'I laughed and said, "I guess the cat is out of the bag now. I only have about 300 hours - all on floats up in north Ontario."
''"Great!'"he said, "I don't think you will get much out of this course. But when you can get on Harvards on the next course" - that was service flying training - "you will get your teeth into something then. Meantime, I'll put you throught the ropes on this course and you can be my lookout while I practise my instrument flying."
'His favourite flight was down near Niagara, near the Brock Monument, where there was an abandoned railway track about three miles long. It was just like a long tunnel with trees overlapping above.
He soon had me doing the same. The wheels would be almost rolling on the tracks going along through those three miles!
That was his favourite spot going down there.
And then, from then on, he loved aerobatics too! Snap rolls, slow rolls, and rolls off the top. With that little 'Finch' you could do all this. Just a little radial engine on it and an open cockpit.
I loved to fly it.
I'd love to have one of them now!
It would be nice.
We'd really enjoy it.' | aerospace |

NEW YORK POST:
A clumsy co-pilot caused an Air China plane to plunge nearly 20,000 feet midair when he pulled the wrong switch while trying to shut off an air recycling system — so he could vape in the cockpit.
The airhead aviator was soaring from Hong Kong to the northeastern Chinese city of Dalian in a Boeing 737 jet Tuesday when he tried to stop vapor from his e-cigarette from wafting into the passenger cabin, according to CNN.
Instead, the wingman accidentally triggered a drop in oxygen levels, prompting an altitude warning that caused the nearly fatal plunge — from 32,800 to 13,100 feet in less than nine minutes, Civil Aviation Administration of China officials told the station. | aerospace |

Richmond, CA.
At the recent AFWERX EXPEDIENT BASING CHALLENGE, sponsored by the U.S. Department of Defense and showcased in Las Vegas, Traverse Aero was awarded a coveted CSO (Commercial Solutions Opening), which authorizes any DoD agency to allocate funds to Traverse Aero for the development and purchase of its Orca cargo drones. Out of the hundreds of submissions, Traverse Aero’s Orca was the only cargo drone solution to be selected.
“Orca clearly meets a large number of the DoD’s requirements for a multi-use cargo drone operating in contested logistics environments,” says Traverse Aero founder and CEO Scott Parker. “We are honored to be evaluated and vetted by the U.S. Air Force. This critical seal-of-approval means that any DoD agency can now cut through the usual red tape and start accelerating their adoption of Traverse Aero’s Orca”.
The showcase event in Las Vegas on Jan 16th revealed lots of excitement around the Orca solution, where form clearly follows function. Discussion highlights included its seamless integration with existing logistic frameworks, its multi-mission capabilities, and its hybrid powertrain that can power electronic payloads for extended periods, expanding its role beyond autonomous cargo logistics. Force sustainment in contested areas was another hot topic and clearly it makes a lot more sense to send an Orca rather than putting airmen at risk for these types of missions.
The Orca’s proprietary AI co-pilot was also of great interest as it creates a valuable force multiplier. The co-pilot’s advanced autonomy and AI stack will allow a single remote operator to control up to 50 Orcas, even in GPS-denied and communication-denied environments. Orcas will fuse data from an array of onboard sensors for fully autonomous navigation, performing equally well in both day and night conditions.
Traverse Aero is building the Orca from technology that is proven and available today. Importantly, the performance of the aircraft is not reliant on any “breakthrough” technology that is yet to be realized. This strategy means the company can compress the typical development timeline and rapidly field the Orca in commercial and military environments.
About Traverse Aero
Traverse Aero is developing Orca, the world’s first cargo drone designed specifically for standard shipping pallets – far and away the most ubiquitous load units for the transport of commercial and military freight. It is estimated that there are more than five billion pallets in use worldwide.

https://greenvalley.buzz/drones-transforming-roles-from-recreation-to-essential-tools/ | 2024-02-23T12:32:53 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474412.46/warc/CC-MAIN-20240223121413-20240223151413-00180.warc.gz | 0.922172 | 718 | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2024-10__0__122850146 | en | In a quiet neighborhood of Quail Creek, Mel Pate and a neighbor spotted smoke rising. Unable to physically investigate, Pate employed his DJI Mini drone, flying it over three-quarters of a mile to confirm the source—a house engulfed in flames. Beyond recreational use, drones have become versatile tools, aiding diverse professions, including first responders, photographers, realtors, journalists, and construction workers.
Drones: Beyond Recreation
Pate, a 64-year-old drone enthusiast with over a decade of experience, initially turned to drones after unsuccessful attempts at flying remote control airplanes post-retirement. He recognized drones’ stability—hovering when controls are released—as an appealing feature, prompting his entry into the world of aerial photography. Investing $1,100 in his first drone, he later acquired a more portable model, the Mini, for $850.
While predominantly used for capturing vacation memories—Australia, Germany, the Pacific Islands—Pate also leverages drones for hunting, camping, and scouting terrains. However, recognizing the responsibility that accompanies drone usage, Pate educated himself on drone regulations, particularly acknowledging the potential safety hazards drones pose near airports and sensitive structures.
Navigating Legalities and Ethics
Arizona law prohibits drone interference with police or fire operations and restricts photography of designated critical structures. Sahuarita imposes specific drone launch and landing sites, with stringent guidelines for flight. Despite evolving laws, many remain uninformed or harbor negative perceptions regarding drones, often citing privacy concerns.
Navigating privacy concerns, Sahuarita Police Lt. Juan Zamora emphasizes the legality of drone operations within airspace boundaries. Ethical behavior remains a core tenet for operators, respecting individuals’ privacy while adhering to airspace regulations. Instances of misuse contribute to drones’ negative reputation, exemplified by a neighbor shooting down a drone in an unprovoked incident.
Youthful Engagement and Ethical Training
Cutter Papritz, a 17-year-old drone operator, commenced his drone journey at 11, evolving from toy drones to collaborating with his father, Carew Papritz, a figure known for innovative book promotions. Cutter, aspiring to be an anesthesiologist, intends to retain drone operation as a hobby and potential freelance endeavor. Ethical discussions with his father emphasize respecting privacy and property boundaries during drone operations.
Understanding the potential intrusion caused by drone noise, Cutter remains mindful of avoiding crowded spaces, aligning with federal regulations prohibiting drone usage in national parks to prevent wildlife disturbance.
Government Regulations and Institutional Use
FAA regulations necessitate operator licensing for commercial drone use but only require registration for recreational flying. However, the future could witness stricter tracking and regulations concerning drone ownership. Law enforcement agencies like Sahuarita Police and Pima County Sheriff’s Department utilize drones for various purposes, from search operations to crime scene analysis, adhering to specific altitude limits and ethical guidelines.
The Future of Drones
As technology advances and costs decrease, drones are becoming increasingly accessible. Law enforcement foresees expanded usage, anticipating a surge in diverse drone applications, driven by affordable models entering the market. This proliferation calls for heightened responsibility among operators to ensure safe, ethical, and respectful drone utilization.
Drones, once purely recreational, have evolved into multifunctional tools across various sectors. Their integration demands a delicate balance between technological advancement, legal compliance, ethical conduct, and public acceptance. As they continue to evolve, their positive impact remains contingent on responsible and ethical operation. | aerospace |

Since January, at least 28 military transport planes have passed through Hungarian airspace on their way to Rzeszów, the logistical hub of arms transport in Ukraine. US and Canadian planes from Budapest and the Pápa airbase of the Hungarian Armed Forces have also carried supplies the Polish town. On 9 May, Ukrainian helicopters once again stopped at the Győr airport, this time trying to be more covert.
As Atlatszo reported at the end of April, there are several indications that the Hungarian government is sending false signals about arms shipments to Ukraine. Recently released footage and flight logs suggest that allied states regularly use Hungarian airspace, as well as roads and airports to transport arms to Ukraine.
In February, a public web camera captured H125M light military helicopters flying from Győr-Pér airport, painted with the insignia of the Ukrainian State Border Guard Service. The helicopters turned out to have been the ones offered by France to Ukraine. From Győr, they flew to Rzeszów, Poland.
The small Polish town became the main hub of arms shipments to Ukraine, most of the weapons deliveries since last year passed through there. Western planes do not enter Ukrainian airspace directly due to security risks, instead they fly to Rzeszów, from where arms shipments are transported on land.
French military helicopters were delivered to the Ukrainian border police via Győr-Pér airport in Western Hungary. This was revealed a few days after the ministry of defense categorically denied that they let Ukraine-bound military shipments through the Hungarian airspace.
The Hungarian government, claiming to be “supporting peace” repeatedly stated that they do not allow the transit of weapons through Hungary by land or air. However, footage from May shows that a military convoy of armoured vehicles offered by Slovenia to Kiev appears to have been transported via the M7 motorway.
Flight tracker archives and photos also show that military transport planes have been regularly passing through Hungarian airspace since January (and before that) to land in Rzeszów, which indicates that weapons shipments regularly pass through the country.
Based on the archive of Radarbox, we have identified 28 such aircraft since January 2023.
As the map shows, military aircraft departing from Italy, the Western Balkans and Bulgaria were the most common guests in Hungarian airspace. From Italy, they were mainly transport planes of the Italian Air Force. From other airports, American and Canadian Boeing C-17s and Lockheed C-130s carried cargo. From Bulgaria came aircraft from a Ukrainian Motor Sich airine. Although the company is registered as a civilian company, it is an open secret that Ukrainian civilian carriers are also entrusted with military deliveries. One such plane crashed in Greece last year.
There were also instances of planes carrying cargo directly from Hungary to Rzeszów: on 18 April, a Canadian Air Force plane flew from Budapest to Rzeszów. Earlier, on 7 February, a Hungarian-registered C-17 took off from the Hungarian Defence Forces airbase in Pápa and arrived in Rzeszów.
The latter aircraft belonged to NATO’s Strategic Airlift Capability (SAC) unit, a group of Hungarian-registered aircraft operated by American pilots, based at the Pápa airbase. The SAC aircraft have been involved in arms deliveries to Ukraine before, and last year the German Ministry of Defence published photos of a Hungarian-registered C-17 with a consignment of anti-tank and anti-aircraft missiles destined for Ukraine.
In addition to the planes in the public Radarbox database, there may have been other consignments that secretly passed through Hungary. Online airspace surveillance applications record the paths of planes passing with their transponders (radar transponders) switched on. It is common, however, for military aircraft to have their transponders switched off for national security reasons, so that their routes cannot be tracked.
Secretly, Ukrainian helicopters landed again in Győr
After Átlátszó reported on the Ukraine-bound helicopters resting in Győr, two more Ukrainian H125Ms appeared again at Győr airport on 9 May. This time however, those responsible for the transportation tried to be more covert, perhaps because of the press coverage of the previous incident. The aircraft turned off their transponders and stopped on a runway that is not visible on the webcam. However, the helicopters could still briefly be spotted at the same Időkép web camera – they are visible for a few second on this recording around 16:28.
Considering that the helicopters passed through Hungary clandestinely, without transponders, it cannot be excluded that other military transports, in addition to those marked on the map, were also passing through Hungary clandestinely.
