This is because an individual lacks any experience of purchasing the aircraft. This is the reason why most people recommend the use of the guidelines for picking the right aircraft. This article has the best guidelines that can be used in picking the right aircraft. These guidelines are as explained below.
The first thing that an individual must consider is the aim of purchasing the aircraft.
In most cases, people purchase aircraft to use it in going for short trips and long trips. This means that one will have to consider the aircraft that is suitable for the trips that one wishes to use it to travel. An individual must also ensure that the number of seats available are enough for everyone who wants to use the aircraft. If one will be using the aircraft to carry luggage, he or she must get the aircraft that can do this with ease.
The cost is another factor that one must consider when he or she is purchasing an aircraft is the cost. Different aircraft have different prices. Hence one needs to know his or her budget before purchasing any aircraft. This is to help an individual go for what e or she can afford. Sometimes, different aircraft dealers have different prices for the same aircraft. Hence one needs to do a comparison between the airplanes before he or she selects the cheaper one.
An individual needs to decide if he or she wants to purchase the new one or the old one. This can depend on the budget of an individual too. This is because second-hand airplanes are cheaper than the news ones. But some benefits come with purchasing the new airplanes. These benefits include the warranties and the appeal that everyone loves. An individual needs to sit down and make this decision before purchasing any aircraft.
One needs to research before he or she buys an aircraft. This is because carrying out research helps one determine the available options. Carrying out research helps one get the list of the best aircraft dealers. This is the list that can provide the best dealer from where one is likely to get the best aircraft. The Internet is the best place to carry out this research. This is because most aircraft dealers advertise themselves on the internet.
The purchase of the best aircraft can be done if an individual decides to ask for advice from close friends about how he or she can get the best aircraft. There is a probability that the friends close to this individual have ever purchased or helped a friend purchase the aircraft. This implies that an individual must be open to advise that he or she gets. But one should be very careful to avoid being dictated by what friends say. The trustworthy friends are t eons that should be consulted because purchasing an aircraft is a very sensitive thing. | aerospace |

The system relies on 24 satellites that orbit the earth twice a day.
This system was first launched in 1974 and the last satellite was launched in 1994, the system is operated and maintained by the United States Department of Defense. This system is free for anyone to use, when a satellite seems to be aging, a new one is launched to replace it. Since technology has increased so much in recent years, it has plummeted down in the cost to run but they are getting more accurate every day. It has come so far that a 100 dollar GPS can easily plot your journey from one place to another.
The use of a GPS is becoming more globally used, it isn’t only used in the car or some sort of vehicle. Now fishermen are using them to find their fishes and people are using them for hiking or even games like geocaching. Even the military use GPS to navigate through a war zone. | aerospace |
https://www.veritableaerospace.com/blog/what-are-the-different-types-of-antennas-used-in-aviation/ | 2022-10-07T07:17:09 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030337971.74/warc/CC-MAIN-20221007045521-20221007075521-00286.warc.gz | 0.945581 | 898 | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2022-40__0__61243402 | en | Radio communication is a salient requirement for all forms of aviation, including general, commercial, and military. This system, which is used to facilitate voice communication, location sending, and ground-based navigation, relies on a complex architecture of electromechanical components, namely antennas. The antennas used on aircraft are variable and specialized in performing specific functions. In this blog, we will discuss the various types of antennas that may be found on common aircraft.
The dipole antenna type plays a critical role in radio wave transmission. It is also the most common class found on aircraft worldwide. Although dipole antennas may come in a variety of forms, the one used in aviation is the half-wave dipole. It is named as such because the length of the conductor is roughly one-half that of the wavelength of the frequency being transmitted. These devices rely on alternating currents to produce electromagnetic fields of varying sizes throughout the antenna. Nearly all half-wave dipole antennas found on modern aircraft are of the VHF variant, which is used primarily as a navigation aid. The VHF antenna used for navigation is almost universally situated on the vertical tail. Unlike other aircraft systems, which have several layers of redundancy, VHF antenna failure would assuredly affect multiple navigation systems at once.
As many aircraft models begin to make the transition to Global Positioning System (GPS) based navigation, there has grown a strong demand for GPS antennas. These antennas are unique in their function and location due to the requirements placed on receivers of GPS satellites. Since the satellites employed in the GPS transmit weak signals, the receivers must also act as amplifiers. Additionally, the receivers must be placed on top of the fuselage to meet the line-of-sight conditions demanded by GPS satellites. In order to avoid aerodynamic disruption, the antennas are designed with a low profile.
Emergency locator transmitters are required in all but a small minority of civil aircraft in the United States. These specialty antennas broadcast distress signals on specific frequencies, including 121.5, 243.0, and 406 MHz. The 121.5 and 243.0 frequencies initially lacked the ability to provide a location to search and rescue crews, but later a paired satellite program was implemented that solved this issue. However, these two frequencies continued to present false signals, which tied up resources. As a result, the industry moved to the novel 406 MHz frequency, which is much more stable and produces fewer false alarms. Although the older frequencies have not yet been banned outright, they provide only limited safety assurances to crews in distress.
UHF antennas enable both transponder location and distance measuring equipment data. These devices can act as both transmitters and receivers, allowing the aircraft to send messages and receive interrogation from ATC towers. In a distance measuring system, UHF antennas broadcast a radio signal between 960-1215 MHz. After receiving a return signal from ground stations, an associated computer times the propagation delay between the signals, yielding a distance in meters. Both transponders and distance measuring equipment require a direct line of sight between the aircraft and ground stations, requiring the antennas to be situated under the fuselage.
Regardless of their use, antennas should be maintained in adequate condition to ensure proper functioning and system longevity. Antennas should be regularly inspected for any signs of cracking since water may enter and cause delamination. Additionally, the base of the antenna should be kept dry as often as possible to prevent corrosion, which may erode the electrical grounding of the aircraft. Finally, when painting the plane, it is critical to avoid painting over any antenna components since this may reduce their efficacy.

It is a satellite navigation system designed and built by the United States Department of Defense. It was first conceived in the 1960's and the first GPS satellite was launched in 1978. This navigation system became fully operational in 1995 and was used exclusively by the U.S. Military until the U.S. government authorized its use by the general public.
The GPS network is really just composed of three things:
Earth Monitoring Stations
The 24 satellites orbit the earth in 6 distinct trajectories. They orbit the earth twice a day at around 7,000 miles per hour at a distance of 12,000 miles. This allows their signals to be received over a large percentage of the earth's surface. The more satellite signals a GPS unit receives the more accurately it can calculate its position by triangulating the signals. The satellites orbits are placed so that nearly every part of the earth is receiving 4 signals at all times. Of course landscape and groundcover can affect this.
The GPS earth monitoring stations, of which there are 4 unmanned and 1 master stations, are responsible for relaying position data from the satellites to the master station. The master station uses this data to correct the position of the sat tiles which is then transmitted back to the satellites. This keeps the data that the satellites transmit synchronized to provide accurate coordinate information
The GPS receiver is the device that we are all familiar with. In the car, hand-held units, data collectors, and GPS surveyor equipment all make use of the Global Positioning System. They receive a low power radio signal from the satellites overhead if they are in line-of-sight.
A GPS receiver triangulates its position based on the position of at least three satellites. It calculates your position by comparing the time it takes your receiver to receive the signal from each satellite.
3 satellites will allow your GPS unit to calculate your coordinates in latitude/longitude while four or more satellites will also allow it to calculate altitude. With this information the current generation of GPS devices can calculate your trip distance, distance to your destination, how fast you are going, and your altitude.
As you can see the GPS systems in place today provide a very useful tool to anyone who wishes to tap into its network. | aerospace |

Recovery from stall involves a very simple concept. Since stall is precipitated by an excessive angle of attack, the angle of attack must be dccmmd. This is a fundamental principle which is common to any airplane. An airplane may be designed to be “stallproof” simply by reducing the effectiveness of the elevators. If the elevators are not powerful enough to hold the airplane to high angles of attack, the airplane cannot be stalled in any condition of flight. Such a requirement for a tactical military airplane would seriously reduce performance.
The section lift coe&icient, c,, is plotted versus section angle of attack, olO,for five standard NACA airfoil profiles. One characteristic feature of all airfoil sections is that the slope of the various lift curves is essentially the same. 1 for each degree increase in angle of attack. 5O Note that for the conditions of steady flight, each airspeed requites a specific angle of attack and lift coefficient. This fact provides a fundamental concept of flying technique: Angle of attack is tbs primary Controlof airspeedin steady flight.
The relative velocity and pressure distribution will be determined by the shape of the airfoil and the angle to the airstream. 9. If the same airfoil shape is placed at the same angle to an airstream with twice as great a dynamic pressure the magnitude of the pressure distribution will be twice as great but the r&rive shape of the pressure distribution will be the same. With twice as great a pressure existing over the surface, all aerodynamic forces and moments will ~double. If a half-size airfoil ib placed at the same angle to the original airstream, the magnitude of the pressure distribution is the same as the origina! | aerospace |

At wind speeds less than about 4 m s(-1), the bulk transfer coefficients increase rapidly with decreasing wind speed. The validity of the inertial dissipation method for deriving turbulent fluxes in low wind speed conditions is tested using the aircraft data. At wind speeds below 4 m s(-1), dissipation-derived fluxes tend to be smaller than the corresponding eddy correlation fluxes by about 10-20%.

In the last years low-cost UAV Drones reached a level of practical reliability and professionalism which allow the use of these systems as mapping platforms. UAV based mapping provides not only the required accuracy with respect to cadastral laws and policies as well as requirements for the generation of elevation models in large-scale (map) such as gravel pits, UAVs are also competitive to other measurement technologies in terms of economic aspects.
Major advantages of UAVs compared to manned systems are that UAVs can fly in inaccessible areas, such as mountainous, volcanic, earthquake and desert areas, flood plains and scenes of accidents. Furthermore, most systems available on the market are stabilized and can operate autonomously. These systems are mainly low-cost systems, and thus a major advantage of UAVs is the cost factor, as UAVs are less expensive and have lower operating costs than manned aircrafts have.
SAKURA-GSR along with its UAV DRONE collaborator would undertake study SAKURA-GSR would bring in its Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing, GIS, and Software IT application experts to complete the study.
SAKURA Geoinformation Software Research Pvt.Ltd. (SAKURA-GSR) believes the first step in every UAV mapping project is to document the need for the study and status of permissions to fly UAVs for mapping.
The workflow for UAV mapping is similar to the workflow of man-based aerial mapping systems. However, some elements of the workflow are different and thus, have been extended.
Figure 1. Workflow for UAV data acquisition and processing.
2. CHARACTERISTICS OF THE UAV SYSTEM
UAV is a small (38 inches wingspan) and ultra-light (maximum take-off weight of 1.7 pounds) platform made of flexible foam that performs precision aerial mapping missions thanks to the onboard GPS and the related flight management software that allows the operator to plan safely and efficiently a mission in 3D, and then monitor it in real-time. Thanks to the embedded camera, the UAV takes a collection of high-definition still images that are used later to generate maps and contour lines of the surveyed area.
The four main characteristics of the UAV are:
- a. Very light weight
- b. Electric-powered
- c. Semi-automatic flight
- d. Option for Manual control
- a. Pre-Flight automatic tests and procedures
- -Sensors calibration test
- -GPS signal test
- -Battery level test
- -Configuration of the Home point (altitude: 75 meters)
- b. In-Flight safety actions
- -Go to the Home Point
- -Emergency landing
- -Hold and Resume (air traffic management)
- -Restart Propeller
- c. Management of critical situations
- Barometer error – Go Home (using GPS altitude)
- -Way Out of working area (Strong wind) – Emergency Landing
- -Above working area – Go Home
- -Ground proximity – Hold and Resume
- -Wind too strong – Go Home
- -Low Battery – Go Home
- -Empty Battery – Propeller stopped and emergency landing
- -IMU error – Emergency landing
- -GPS signal loss – Emergency landing
Applications and added value of the UAV
Mapping applications with UAV may include agricultural applications, mining, construction and survey/GIS operations.
a. First, it brings safety to daily survey operations: there is no need for the humans to access dangerous working areas anymore (mines, quarries, or polluted sites). The missions can be programmed and reproduced reliably as often as needed for regularly updated maps.
b. Second, it is a cost-effective solution. It is cheaper to operate a UAS rather than an aircraft or other ground systems for the same results. Moreover, small can help Agriculture businesses and farmers face the growing needs of the population while reducing operational costs. It also enables the ability to take up new challenges -like water or environmental management through analysis of vegetation index maps.
c. Third, users can save time and work more efficiently. A mission does not need a long preparation time or long deployment constraints, or long waiting time for perfect weather conditions unlike, for example, the use of satellites. Initial results are accessible directly on-site, which is impossible with images provided by satellites or manned aircrafts.
d. It has social benefits too: it is eco-friendly (electric-powered), and its affordability allows many high-valued applications like data gathering for sustainability projects (agribusiness, reforestation) or post-disaster management missions.
e. Cadastre applications: Immediate benefit to various agencies, public as well as visitors etc. We can develop or interlink tools those will act as a guide for the landowners, lawyers, surveyors, valuer’s, real estate mangers, locals, and various civic/government authorities to locate the various facilities or assets. It acts as a base for the future multipurpose cadastral Information System and other GIS applications. Cadastre is the principal source of information about ownership of the land. The basic unit of the cadastre is the land parcel-Plot.

To qualify as an air force pilot, you will need at least a bachelor’s degree, earned at either a civilian college or university or the air force academy, located outside colorado springs, co. Secondly if you have not yet started get yourself in very fit condition. Being an air force pilot requires extensive training and the willingness to commit to ten years of active duty air force service.
How long do pilots go to school? However, degrees in aviation or related areas help students to complete flight training and courses in aerodynamics, aviation laws, aviation meteorology. Recruiters will make sure you meet the basic eligibility requirements.
Air force major justin hasard lee to explain. Before you can even begin your journey to becoming a fighter pilot, you must first become an officer in the u.s. Being an air force pilot is a dynamic, challenging, but highly rewarding role with excellent career opportunities.
Pilots may be stationed in remote or undesirable places and may be exposed to danger. You can become a pilot as a member of the active duty air force, air force reserves and air. If you are not yet a part of the military, the first step is to contact an air force recruiter station and join the service.
In the air force, after you are commissioned it takes approximately one year to accomplish undergraduate pilot training (upt) , three months for iff, a few weeks for sere and water survival, and approximately six months for your fighter’s basic course.

Later in your career you may become a flying instructor, take on nz based ground roles such as an aviation safety officer or planner at joint forces headquarters, or do an overseas tour as a united nations observer or air liaison officer.
How long does it take to become an air force pilot? Once you pass the vision requirements, you will attend the initial flight screening. Each branch offers basic flight training followed by advanced training on a specific aircraft.
If you do not fall within these parameters you can stop here. Must meet a selection board before age 28 1/2. For fighter pilots, after advanced pilots course, the hawk 12.
To qualify as an air force pilot, you will need at least a bachelor’s degree, earned at either a civilian college or university or the air force academy, located outside colorado springs, co. For pilot and aircrew positions, height specifications vary by aircraft and most applicants can successfully pursue a career in aviation with the u.s. Columbus air force base in mississippi, laughlin air force base.
At this point you can formally declare your intention to become an air force pilot. Completion of officer training school (ots), air force academy (afa) or air force reserve officer training corps (afrotc) must have begun pilot training between the ages of 18 and 33; Pass an air force physical to be pilot qualified (pq).

Enjoy our Summer Series - presentations on Black Hills figures or events packed with history and fun! Each presentation lasts an hour, including a Q&A.
Tom Durkin will take you on an interstellar ride through history that marks 50 years since the Apollo 11 spaceflight when the first two humans landed on the moon. He will also share what’s next for NASA in a program that will surely be appreciated by all ages.
On July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong took his “one small step,” and Buzz Aldrin referred to the beauty of the lunar landscape as “magnificent desolation.”
Durkin says this is when “American ingenuity achieved an as-yet unmatched distinction for humanity.”
We haven’t been back to the moon since 1972, but Vice President Mike Pence and NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine have moved up the timeline to return there by 2024. This accelerated NASA program is called “Forward to the Moon” and has created renewed excitement over space exploration.
Since 1999, Durkin has served as deputy director of the NASA South Dakota Space Grant Consortium headquartered on the campus of the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology. He administers educational activities in the fields of science, technology, engineering and math, supported by NASA’s unique mission.
Durkin also supports university students funded by the Space Grant, including those who conduct internships and eventually gain employment at NASA Centers and aerospace industries.
Admission for a Summer Series event is $12 for adults, $10 for seniors and half-off for members. Call 394-6923 to reserve seats.

Many of them aren’t aware that it stands for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. It is the body responsible for planning all the activities regarding space visits and exploration. The NASA are often lauded for their achievements. One of those is the success of the Apollo space mission. Sometimes, they are given some sticks for their failures as well. One of those failures is tragedy of the Challenger crash.
There are so many things the NASA does besides traveling in rockets. Below are some things you probably don’t know about the NASA. They include some things that the government doesn’t want you to know either.
The Story Concerning The Pen
The narrative surrounding the pen is false. The story says that the NASA spent millions of dollars to develop a pen that is capable of working in space. This is because your average pen wouldn’t work in a zero gravity environment. The other side of the story was that Russian Cosmonauts were satisfied using their pencils instead.
The first thing to be aware of is that the NASA didn’t spend such ridiculous sum of money to develop any pen. Those who say it is preferable to use lead pencils in space are also wrong. This is because there’s a high probability that dust from lead or graphite pencil will either break everything or end up in the air filtration system. Worst still, it may be breathed by the astronauts themselves. So the stories surrounding the pen and pencil isn’t true.
Space Shuttles Are Unclean
Most of the time, the NASA want the public to view its shuttles as clean, glistening, and gleaming. All the photographs, videos of merchandise that has space shuttles in them are made to appear white and beautiful to look at. An example is the Discovery.
The truth however is that space shuttles have the thing in common with a vehicle used in transporting farm produce. This similarity is that both are dirty and unclean. The damaged, dirty shuttles are viewed as evidences of their long careers as well as a lot of spaceflights for NASA.
They Were Dragged Into The Cola Wars
The NASA were involved in a cold war that involved Coca-cola and Pepsi. According to reports, cans of Pepsi and Coca-cola were taken aboard the Challenger. A space shuttle. This was possible because the cans came with plastic lids and straws that were fitted at the top. This made it possible for them to be drank at Zero gravity.
Taking both brands however wasn’t the original plan. The only brand that was supposed to fly was the Coca-cola. When Pepsi discovered that theirs was onboard, they were convinced that one of the company’s intentions was to get free promo.
They Consume A Lot Of Foil
The space agency uses a lot of foil for its operations. Although it is scientifically advanced organization that is in the habit of developing things that are supposed to thrive in the vacuum of space. They may not be using the same kind of aluminum foil we use in houses. However, there is only a little difference between the ones we and theirs.
Whilst ours is silver, theirs is gold. Meaning that theirs is made with original gold and turned into foil. The importance of gold as a material for foil includes: high heat resistance that is important when the shuttle is about to be launched and when it is in space;
Other benefits of gold includes: Giving the needed protection owing to its high light reflective tendency; Prevent higher-energy particles; It is a good conductor used in electronic works, etc.
NASA Began As A Military Organization
While the organization is a scientific one, it was originally rivaling the DARPA. That stand for the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. The DARPA is a government agency that is concerned about building and developing weapons.
The DARPA were the popular rocket-designers for both military and scientific purposes alike. Their creations delivered both bombs and astronauts around the world as well as space respectively.
The Mars Mission Made Use Of Text Messages
A car-robot called the Mars Rover was launched into space and successfully landed in Mars in late 2012. Since its landing, the robot has done a lot of scientific stuffs which the public has failed to understand. The robot netted NASA a lot of column inches for the first time, which it needed seriously. The car robots do not interact via radio messages.
Instead, they communicate via text messages. Since the Mars Rovers travel across the solar system, they do not utilize any form of emojis.
Aldrin Took Communion On The Moon
This is one of the secrets that most people don’t know about the Apollo 11 mission. Aldrin radioed a communication back to earth immediately the lunar module touched down on the Sea of Tranquility. In the message, he enjoined everyone listening, regardless of their location to pause for a moment and think about the events that have happened in the past few hours. He also enjoined them to give thanks in his or her way afterwards.
He then opened a small plastic container that held bread and wine and read privately from John’s gospel. He ate the bread and drank the wine afterwards. Aldrin was an elder of the Webster Presbyterian Church.
Some People There Earn Money Doing Nothing
It is a known fact that NASA spends money on awkward things. One of those things is that they pay individuals in the form of bed rest study. In this study, people are offered employment and paid to do nothing. They are paid about $18,000.
In this bed rest study, the participants are given the permission to read books, watch televisions, participate in a study course, etc. They are even allowed to continue with their normal jobs. The clause however is that they wouldn’t get out of bed.
The aim of this study was to correctly gauge the impact of longterm spaceflight on the human body. One of those long distance travel to Mars is an example of such trips. This study involves 70 individuals and lasts up to 10 weeks.
The study was conducted in conditions that stimulate weightlessness. This condition was set in order to discover its impact on the body for an extended period of time. The beds in which the participants use are usually tilted to an angle of about 6 degrees. In a state wear the head is lower than the feet. This is done in order to trigger cardiovascular stress similar to the one experienced by astronauts in space.
This entails that particularly easy. The participants will have to lose muscle mass density as well as bone density. They also have to indulge in rehabilitation to get themselves back to normal. The rehabilitation program naturally includes exercises.
They Send Weird Stuff Into Space
Example of the things that have been taken into space includes Pepsi and Coca-cola. Other things that have been taken into space includes the following: a collection of signed NFL shirts, one of Lane Armstrong’s sweaty yellow one-piece, some dirts from Yankee Stadium, and also a bunch of NASCAR starter flags, etc.
The Apollo 11 Had To Hawk Their Autographs To Get Life Insurance
It is very difficult to purchase life insurance when an astronaut is about to go into space. When it became difficult for Neil Armstrong and other crew members of the Apollo 11, they hawked their autographs. What they did was to sign many envelops. They amounted to several hundreds of them. They also signed postcards and have friends postmark them July 16 or 20. Those dates were supposed to be the fate for the launch or the moon landing. They figured out that those autographs would be worth some amount of money if they happen not to return.
A Lingerie Company Made The Lunar Spacesuits of Apollo 11
A company who designed the spacesuits used for the Apollo 11 mission was a lingerie company. The name of that company was Playtex. They are famous for the invention of the Cross Your Heart Bra. The design however led to a secret battle of fashion.
The company was forced or bludgeoned to work under the scrutiny and supervision of aerospace company. This was enforced by NASA mangers and the aerospace company involved was Hamilton Standard. They submitted a suit that was turned down.
Playtex later went into Hamilton Standard, took back their design, submitted it again, and won the contract. Since winning that particular contract, ILC Dover, which is Playtex’s industrial division has been in the business of designing all of NASA’s spacesuits since then.
Only an in-depth research can shed light into the darkest secret of the NASA. For the purpose of maintaining its reputation, the government will do everything possible to ensure some of these secrets doesn’t find their way to the public domain.
One thing that is certain is that the NASA will continue to champion innovations that bothers on space travel as well as achieve more milestones beyond what was believed to be possible. | aerospace |

Rothney Astrophysical Observatory event to celebrate 50th anniversary of the moon landing
“That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind.”
Astronaut Neil Armstrong’s famous words, spoken on July 20, 1969, are forever etched in history as synonymous with one of the 20th century’s greatest endeavours of science and engineering — the lunar landing.
To commemorate the 50th anniversary of this amazing accomplishment, the Rothney Astrophysical Observatory (RAO) is hosting a special daytime event featuring presentations and family-focused activities that celebrate one of humanity’s greatest achievements.
Guest speakers will present fascinating talks that look back and look forward in our exploration of our celestial neighbour, the moon.
“The Apollo 11 commemoration at the RAO is happening 50 years to the minute of when the lander spacecraft called the Eagle touched down on the moon,” says Jennifer Howse, education specialist at the RAO. “The event is a party complete with a bouncy house, rockets and moon themed karaoke designed for family fun on a Saturday afternoon, but also a chance to gather a remember that exciting time when the space race to humanity to the moon and back”
The program will feature speakers from the Faculty of Science, the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada (RASC)-Calgary Centre, and special guest CBC’s Starman Don Hladiuk, who will present a breakdown of the lunar mission. Joel Powell of the RASC will exhibit his amazing image collection presenting the ramp up to lift-off.
Family fun activities include moon music, rockets, solar observing, lunar science fiction, and much more. | aerospace |

A simple and quick approach to find out what’s happening with your flight is to check the status of the flight. To find out if your flight is delayed or experiencing other problems, you may also utilize flight status. This is how to use Frontier Airlines to check the status of a flight.
How do I find frontier flight status
There are two methods available on the Frontier Airlines website to check the status of a particular flight. Checking by city is the first method. Choose the destination or departure city of your flight from the drop-down menu to accomplish this. A list of every flight for that city will appear along with its current status.
By flight number is the second method to find out the status of your flight. Click “Submit” after entering the flight number in the field provided on the page. This will display the particular flight you are interested in as well as its status right now.
There may be several causes for the delay in your Frontier flight, if you’re wondering why it is happening. Weather, air traffic control, or even something as basic as an airplane arriving late might be to blame. For whatever reason, waiting for your aircraft to take off at the airport is always annoying.
Inclement weather is one of the main reasons for flight delays. Strong winds can make it challenging for aircraft to take off and land safely when a storm is approaching. Because of this, airlines frequently postpone flights until the weather becomes better. Controllers will occasionally stagger takeoffs and landings to reduce the risk of accidents, which may cause delays for certain flights.
Sometimes delays are only the result of operational problems, like an airplane that arrives late. This may be the result of the jet needing to refuel before taking off or being delayed at its prior destination.
Keep Up with Arrival and Departure Times
You can be certain that you’re receiving the most recent information because the tracker is updated in real-time. You may also keep track of the travel plans of your loved ones by tracking any Frontier flight.
Air travel may be stressful and unpredictable, but you can avoid it by using Frontier Flight Status. You’ll be equipped with all the knowledge required to make confident travel plans. Bid farewell to standing in lengthy lineups and stressing over missing connections. You may travel with ease and comfort knowing that you have everything you need with Frontier Airlines Flight Status.
You can keep track of the most recent departure and arrival times by monitoring the status of your Frontier Airlines flight. You may use this information to arrange your journey so that you don’t miss connections or experience delays. To provide you the most recent information about your trip, Frontier Airlines offers real-time flight status updates.
Why you need to check Frontier status
Recent research indicates that 32.7% of Frontier flights have delays. As a result, Frontier is now the second-most delayed airline in the US. Flight delays can result from a variety of circumstances, such as inclement weather, heavy air traffic, and technical problems. Frontier has been putting a lot of effort into being more punctual, and it has achieved great strides in lowering the amount of flights that are delayed. Nevertheless, a lot of uncontrollable circumstances might still affect our timetable.

This was due to a 1996 U.S. regulation known as the Kyl-Bingaman Amendment (KBA) which has limited the quality and availability of high-resolution satellite imagery produced by U.S. companies covering Israel (and by implicit extension, the occupied Palestinian territories and the occupied Golan Heights). The result is that publicly available imagery on platforms such as Google Earth has been deliberately coarse and blurred.
On June 25, following two years of sustained pressure from academia and civil society, the 97-word KBA was unexpectedly reformed, making higher-resolution satellite imagery legally accessible and readily available to all. The news, though welcome, raises certain questions: First, what were the effects of the KBA? Second, since satellite imagery has advanced significantly both in scale and diversity in the 24 years since the KBA was passed, why did it take so long to reverse?
The KBA was a byproduct of the aftermath of the Cold War, when the satellite imagery industry was still young. President Bill Clinton sought to refashion technology formerly used for espionage for a wider, commercial usage. He also moved to declassify U.S. spy satellite imagery from the 1960s and 1970s. | aerospace |

- To give students practical experience of designing things to go into Space and visit other planets.
- To get students to consider careers in the UK Space and other high tech industries.
The aim is to test anything that humans or robots will be doing on Mars in the future.
In 2015 we plan to launch 100 experiment capsules on high altitude balloons 30km up into the Earth’s atmosphere, a place where conditions of gas pressure, temperature and radiation are very similar to the surface of Mars.
This project is open to any school in the UK. There is no cost to take part in the project other than that of experiment materials and postage.
Early March 2015: Announcement of mid-June launch opportunity. Information packs sent out to registered teachers. [Applications for 2015 are now closed, you can now register for 2017]
12th June 2015: Deadline for delivery of experiments for the June flight.
Mid-late June 2015: Launch, recovery and return of the 100 experiments.
[Please note launch times are weather dependent]
What to expect
Please read the information pack which contains everything you need to know to get your students to make Mars experiments that can fly on our balloons, including:
- Information on exploring Mars and its surface environment;
- A complete list of rules that experiments must satisfy to be allowed to fly;
- Career advice for students who want to work in Space and related industries;
- Ideas for experiments;
Using the information pack your students can work to together to create Mars experiments, that fit inside a Kinder Egg capsule™, which you post to us so we can include them in the launch. Previous examples of experiments include testing the effect of Martian conditions on rubber bands, ink, memory sticks and 3D printed materials.
During the launch the balloon will ascend to 30km in approximately one hour where it will burst and the experiment tray will return to Earth via parachute. We will then collect the experiments and return them to your school for your students to analyse the results.
Pictures and video of your experiments in flight will be made available soon after landing.
Watch the video below of our latest flight, Elysium, to see what you can expect from participating!
Quotes from students
I enjoyed the MarsBalloon project, as it hooked me into space. It helped me to think how life will be in space and I crave to be an astronaut! I enjoyed thinking how the experiments would react in space and make my own predictions.
The project was a wonderful experience for me as it helped me in science to start thinking more about scientists and what they do. We have questions, especially me, and I would like to find the answers and I got encouraged to find out more. I would love to be an astronaut in future! We also got our answer on the sim card, knowing it will definitely work for scientists in space. In that way, we helped them! | aerospace |

His exploits inspired many, including Orville and Wilbur Wright.
As a young man, Lilienthal loved the idea of flying. He and his brother studied birds, particularly storks, and built strap-on wings in the hopes of flying, but failed in their attempts. Even as a soldier in the Franco-Prussian War, he focused on flying.
As an adult, he studied the principles of flight. He soon realized a curved wing was the way to succeed. He measured the amount of lift that various rigidwings produced. He published findings in a book that became the bible for other aviation enthusiasts: Bird-flight As the Basis of Aviation (1889).He had tables showing calculations of lift provided by these wings, and it was this set of tables that was so admired and followed by others.
He then began experimenting with gliding as a way to prepare for powered flight. He started with short jumps, but he soon needed longer and higher areas to work. In 1894, he built an artificial hill where he achieved glides of 150feet (45.75 m) or more. He also found hills outside Berlin where he reached adistance of 1,150 feet (350.75 m) by gliding. Lilienthal, however, probablywould never have achieved successful powered flight. He maintained the only way to move through the air was by flapping wings. He devoted his energies tobuilding machines with such flapping action, but they were so ineffective henever got to try them out.
In August of 1896, in-flight tragedy struck Lilienthal. A sudden gust of windcaused his glider to rise up swiftly. He threw his weight forward to correctthe problem, but the glider stalled and crashed to the ground. He died the next day. | aerospace |

https://dronephotogirl.com/types-of-drones/ | 2021-09-16T10:52:39 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-39/segments/1631780053493.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20210916094919-20210916124919-00600.warc.gz | 0.974563 | 1,280 | CC-MAIN-2021-39 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2021-39__0__149649886 | en | Drones come in a range of sizes, styles, and types, and they are used by everyone from the military to professionals to kids and families. You can find types of drones that are a mere few inches in size or you will find others that are as large as a plane. They all have one thing in common, which is that they are types of UAVs (unmanned air vehicles).
Drones can be fun for kids to play with, but they also help companies in a number of ways. Photographers use them for aerial shots, and warehouses can use them to check inventory. The military uses them for many different kinds of operations. Continue reading to learn about fourteen different types of drones that are available today.
1. Single-Rotor Drones
One of the most common drone types is the single-rotor drone. They use only one rotor, which makes them more efficient and able to have longer flight times. This is a helicopter-like drone, and they can hover with heavier loads. The drawback to this type of drone is that they are expensive, they vibrate, and have a large spinning blade that is dangerous. They are mechanically complex and require more maintenance than other types of drones. They range in price from $25K to over $300K.
2. Multi-Rotor Drones
A multi-rotor drone has several different rotors that are strategically placed, and this type of drone can hover for a longer period of time. The extra rotors give it greater balance when it is hovering. The drawback is that this type of drone will not be able to remain in the air as long; in fact, they normally can only remain airborne for thirty minutes. They can’t carry heavy loads because it would distract from the balance of the drone. They are also expensive, ranging from $5K to $65K.
3. Fixed-Wing Drones
Another type of drone is a fixed-wing drone, which operates similarly to a controlled airplane. They have wings for their vertical lift, so they need only the energy necessary for forward motion. Fixed-wing drones work well as long-range drones. They can stay airborne for as many as 16 hours. The disadvantage of this type of drone is that it is not able to hover. They are also more difficult to land. You need to be an expert to fly these drone types. They range in price from $25K to $120K.
4. Fixed-Wing Hybrid Drones
This type of drone is a hybrid of a fixed-wing drone and a rotor drone. It usually has a rotor attached to the end of each wing. They are still in the experimental stages so they are not readily available, but they should be very useful when they become more widely available.
5. Small Drones
Small drones include those that are from twenty to eighty inches long. They cost around $100 or less and they are used for recreational purposes. They are light and do not have great stability, but they are a lot of fun for children and hobbyists who are just learning how to operate a drone.
6. Micro Drones
Micro drones are very small types of drones that are used by the military. They can carry microcameras and provide intelligence on enemies and others. They have been used since 2013 and they are 1” x 4”, which is very small. The British use one called the Black Hornet that is stored on a special belt. They have a flight time of 25 minutes and a range of a mile.
7. Tactical Drones
Tactical drones are also used by the military, and they are usually used for surveillance. There is one called the Raven that is 4.5 feet long and weighs 4.2 pounds. They are equipped with infrared cameras and can help soldiers get an idea of the territory ahead. They also have GPS technology on board and are pretty easy to use, and soldiers do not need any special training before they use them.
8. Reconnaissance Drones
This is another military drone, and it is too large to be handheld. They are usually around 16 feet long, and they are also known as MALE (Medium Altitude Long Endurance) or HALE (High Altitude Long Endurance) drones. They are able to stay airborne for 52 hours at a time and they can fly at 35,000 feet.
9. Large Combat Drones
These are common military drones and they are about 36 feet long. They are used to fire missiles and laser-guided bombs. They can fly for fourteen hours up to 1000 miles and are used by a number of countries, including the United States, France, Spain, and the UK.
10. Non-Combat Large Drones
These are large drones that are not used in combat but they perform a number of important jobs. They can fly over combat zones for surveillance, and they can scan phone calls and more. They are very expensive; one called the Global Hawk costs $131 million.
11. Target and Decoy Drones
Decoy drones operate as decoys in combat. They can simulate a missile to draw fire from anti-aircraft units. This helps to distract the enemy from actual missiles and combat drones. They have a very important role in the military. There are a lot of different types of drones used by the military all over the world.
12. GPS Drones
GPS drones are linked to satellites, and they are used to map out a flight and collect data. They can help people map out the topography of a landscape, for example. They use a lot of battery power and many of them are pre-programmed to return to the base as soon as their power supply is low.
13. Photography Drones
There are drones that are designed to take professional photos, and they are growing in popularity and they often have several rotors and they are equipped with a professional-grade camera. They can take photos and videos and also return to the base when they are running low on power.
14. Racing Drones
Racing drones are a lot of fun and they can travel at high speeds of up to 60 miles an hour. They are used specifically for this purpose, and they are affordable. | aerospace |

This is due to the absence of a catapult.
On December 17, the Chinese navy held a ceremony to receive and put into use its first domestic carrier. The ship was named Shandong. Chinese President Xi Jinping presided over the ceremony at the base on Hainan Island, where the ship will be stationed.
By putting the Shandong aircraft carrier into operation, the Chinese navy will become the second force in the world, along with the Royal Navy, to operate two aircraft carriers that can deploy fixed-wing aircraft operations.
The U.S. Navy is the world’s No. 1 force with 11 super aircraft carriers and nine amphibious ships that can deploy and withdraw fixed-wing aircraft. Commenting on China’s new aircraft carrier, defense analyst David Ax and editor of National Interest magazine said that Shandong is not a perfect aircraft carrier.
Hydrodynamic design and runway layout limit military potential and set limits in demonstrating the strength of the Chinese fleet. Because Shandong is simply a slightly more powerful copy of the Liaoning aircraft carrier, China’s first aircraft carrier, an unfinished aircraft carrier bought from Ukraine and refurbished into an aircraft carrier. Liaoning.
Liaoning and Shandong carriers do not have catapults like US aircraft carriers. The Chinese Navy does not have a vertical landing aircraft like the US F-35B or AV-8B Harrier, which allows it to turn assault landing aircraft into light aircraft carriers.
Two Chinese aircraft carriers use a “jump bridge” runway for aircraft to take off. The only Chinese aircraft fighter is the J-15. It is a clone from the Russian Su-33 fighter.
The aerodynamic design of the J-15 has many similarities with that of American, British and French aircraft. However, the “jump-bridge” runway makes the aircraft unable to carry maximum load of fuel and weapons. This reduces the overall combat power of the aircraft carrier, according to a report by the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) published in early 2019 on Chinese military power.
A Chinese naval source once revealed that the bridge-runway limited the maximum payload of the aircraft to less than 30 tons. With that limit, J-15 cannot carry full fuel and weapons. That makes the range of aircraft operating is limited to short range.
Besides, the J-15 must operate with very little support from other aircraft. “The design of the jump-bridge runway means that Liaoning and Shandong aircraft carriers cannot operate specialized support aircraft such as command and early airborne warning aircraft,” DIA reports.
To compensate for the lack of command aircraft and early airborne warnings, China developed domestic Z-18 helicopters and purchased Russian Ka-31 equipped with aerial surveillance radar. These helicopters can partially offset the lack of airborne early warning capability until the aircraft carrier has a catapult.
The Shandong aircraft carrier has a larger hangar than Liaoning, allowing 36 J-15 fighters to be carried compared to 24 aircraft on the Liaoning aircraft carrier. However, Shandong still repeats similar restrictions to Liaoning, the DIA said.
DIA believes that China’s future aircraft carriers can overcome the restrictions on China’s first two aircraft carriers. Beijing is also building a third, larger, more modern aircraft carrier at a shipyard in Shanghai and could be operational by the early 2020s.
The new aircraft carrier will be China’s first aircraft carrier to be equipped with a catapult to enable the deployment of large-scale fixed-wing aircraft, according to the DIA.
Earlier, experts expected Beijing to build and operate six aircraft carrier combat groups. At that time, Liaoning and Shandong carriers will be tasked with regional defense rather than offshore operations, the DIA said.
However, in early December, a Chinese military source told the South China Morning Post that Beijing was implementing a plan to build a fourth aircraft carrier, but plans to build high-class aircraft carriers powered by nuclear power. has been delayed.
By the end of the 2020s, the Chinese navy is likely to have only four aircraft carriers and only two ships equipped with catapults capable of carrying full-fledged naval air forces.
At the time, the U.S. Navy could own more than 20 aircraft carriers, at least half of which could boast catapults and a powerful naval air force.
“More than any other technology, aircraft carriers allow the US military to deploy its power anywhere in the world. In an important measure of military strength, China is still far behind the US and may never catch up, ”explained MIT Technology Review, of Massachusetts Institute of Technology. | aerospace |

It consists of an orbiter, an external tank, and two solid rocket boosters. Propellants are fed to the engines from the external tank.The external tank holds the propellant, which consists of liquid hydrogen and LOX.They must be loaded into the rocket just before launching.Solid propellants are loaded into the rocket at the factory, and are then ready to use.Gravity pulls everything to the earth and gives objects their weight.A rocket overcomes gravity by producing thrust (a pushing force).
Overcoming gravity is the biggest problem in getting into space.The reaction force created by the acceleration of the gas particles leaving the rocket engine causes the forward push on the rocket.This forward push on the rocket is the thrust, which is strong enough to lift the rocket from the ground. Liquid-propellant rockets work by combining a fuel, such as kerosene or liquid hydrogen, with an oxidiser, such as liquid oxygen (LOX). Solid-fuel rockets use dry chemicals as propellants.These engines are also used for manoeuvring during orbit.The orbiter enters the earth’s atmosphere at a speed of more than 25,800 kilometers per hour.

There were five such “mats”, which were 3,000 square foot asphalt pads each with four auxiliary runways utilized by military student pilots to practice take-offs and landings. Other Marana Auxilliary Army Airfields included the following:
- Marana Auxiliary Army Airfield #1 (Picacho Field, Picacho, Arizona. Now Picacho Stagefield Heliport)
- Marana Auxiliary Army Airfield #3 (Coronado Field, Red Rock, Arizona)
- Marana Auxiliary Army Airfield #4 (Avra Field, Marana, Arizona)
- Marana Auxiliary Army Airfield #5 (Sahuaro Field , Marana, Arizona. Now El Tiro Gliderport)
During World War II, the U.S. Army Air Force trained in the North American AT-6 “Texan”. Later in military history, during the Korean War, the US Air Force pilots in Marana were trained in the North American T-28 “Trojan” aircraft.
The Avra Valley Airport was established by a private operator, and it was then that the first permanent airport buildings were constructed. They consisted of two aircraft storage hangars, one conventional hangar for aircraft maintenance, and a small office building.
From 1968 through 1969, major runway expansion took place, with 1,200 feet of apron pavement added, and by 1972, the words “Avra Valley” had been painted on one of the runways that had been abandoned. There were ten aircraft based at the airport in 1963. By 1972, the airport was home to 30 airplanes.
CHANGE OF HANDS
In 1973, the Pima County Department of Transportation took ownership of the Avra Valley Airport. During the remainder of the 1970’s, significant construction and improvements to the airport occurred, including the addition of a formal airport entrance and paved parking lot. Airport usage continued to increase that resulted in the expansion of the aircraft parking apron. By 1980, there were approximately 50 aircraft based there.
In 1981, major repairs to the primary runway were completed and it was re-opened with 4,200 feet in length. The airport experienced additional traffic and the total based aircraft had risen to 75. Many new structures were added on the airport property.
In 1982, the terminal building and offices of the operator were constructed along with the expansion of the auto parking area. Another notable addition was the construction of The Sky Rider coffee shop in 1983. Now for the first time, the local pilots could play host to their friends from other airports.
In 1990, expansion and the paving of the auto parking area associated with the terminal building were completed. Further runway extensions also were made in the 1990’s along with a new state-of-the-art fueling system that provided both Avgas and Jet-A.
In 1999, ownership of the Avra Valley Airport was transferred to the Town of Marana and the name of the airport was changed to Marana Northwest Regional Airport. In 2002, the name of the airport was changed to Marana Regional Airport. | aerospace |

My family and I went to a heliport and we flew in a helicopter over New York and it was the coolest and craziest thing I have ever done. It was my first time flying in a helicopter and I admit that I was really nervous at first since I am not the biggest fan of flying however it feels so different compared to an airplane and you don’t think about it whilst in the air as the views distract you. If you are ever in New York and you have the time I would definitely recommend to fly in a helicopter over New York. I thought I would share some of the pictures I took because it is honestly amazing.
Hope you enjoyed looking at this amazing view! | aerospace |

Treehugger, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (20. April 2005)
1957. Sputnik 1 was launched. This top secret satellite carried a life-sized “mannequin cosmonaut” – an ancestor to cosmonaut Ivan Ivanovich. Unfortunately, the flight of Sputnik 1 was doomed. A major malfunction caused the capsule to become incorrectly oriented... it drifted into space, trapped in its unwanted orbit until reentry.
Space debris: man-made material orbiting the earth that has outlived its useful lifetime: satellites that have become inactive; discarded rocket bodies; pieces of material jettisoned or having flaked off spacecraft; objects that are the result of collisions or explosions.
A Message from space in my Backyard. Reconstructions is a photo essay/ photo installation that is based on a research (performed years ago for a two channel video installation with the same title) that focuses on the phenomenon of space debris. Through 44 pages in texts and images, the narrative follows the short history of the presence of man in space and the chronology of space junk objects reentries to Earth at unpredictable moments and places. The facts in the story are intertwinned with excerpts from the brothers Strugatsky science fiction short novel Roadside Picnic and other refereces that help to situate the phenomenon in human cosmologies.
The work incorporates textual quotations, as well as images from Paul Maley (former NASA engineer) with the prior permision by the author. There are also images from the website of NASA (www.nasa.gov) following the "Use of NASA Imagery" quidelines.
This work would have not be possible without the generous support of Paul Maley, Iara Boubnova, Ivaylo Ditchev.
Excerpt from the script:
May 15, 1960.
A piece of Sputnik IV falls in on North 8th street. It is the first report of space debris reentry.
A field of nouns without verbs.
It once was a creation in which form followed function, but falls back onto earth as pure form.
January 12, 2001.
A large fragment survived reentry after falling in Saudi Arabia. It was discovered lying in the sand, weighing some 70kg. Named PAM-D (payload assist module), The module completed its task and became space junk, eventually decaying from orbit.
The launch of a rocket into space used to be a glorious event. Whether from the western or eastern side of the iron curtain's point of view, we all have that glorious image printed in our memories. We all counted down at least once holding our breath. 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1.
The way back, on the contrary is a non-event. It is imageless, an immemorial act.
November 1, 2007.
An object was predicted for re-entry (into the Earth’s atmosphere), which would have put it near Indonesia. Instead, it ended up in the backyard of James Stirton’s cattle farm in Queensland, Australia.
The 20kg thing turned out to be a tank from a rocket, that most likely had been launched from Cape Canaveral in Florida on October 26, 2006.
In secular modernity heaven exists only as an internal space of each individual. The sky is public matter. A matter of study, conquer and exploit.
1997, Oklahoma, US.
A woman named Lottie Williams was hit in the shoulder by a piece of blackened metallic material.
It was later confirmed to be part of a Delta II rocket which had launched a U.S. Air Force satellite in 1996.
Although every individual piece is the outcome of brilliant inventions, lucidly planned by human intelligence, boosted by infinite computation, their sum spells the end of Enlightenment, its resurrection as farce. | aerospace |

KARACHI: The country’s flagship carrier Pakistan International Airlines will be discontinuing flights to the United States from October 31, airline officials said.
According to the officials, PIA has been incurring losses of up to Rs1.25 billion annually due to its flight operations to the US – a concern which prompted the management to discontinue the flights. The airline is no longer booking US flights through its reservation system after October 31.
PIA had been operating flights to the US since 1961 without any disruption. A total of five weekly flights to New York and three other US cities were being operated.
Sources privy to the matter said the airline had decided several times in the past to discontinue US flights due to the financial losses; however, it faced ‘political pressure’ each time, which hindered its plans.
Some politicians holding dual citizenship, top government officials and pilots exerted ‘pressure’ on the airline not to stop its US flight operations. These flights were ‘beneficial’ to the politicians and officials, the sources said.
PIA, after stopping direct flights to the US, will enter into a code-sharing agreement with an American airline. US-bound passengers will be flown to London, where they will then be transferred to the American airline which will take them to the US, the sources said.
Such a code-sharing agreement will help PIA to avoid financial losses, the sources added.
The PIA management has also decided to axe surplus staff, sources close to the matter said.
The airline is expected to cut more than 500 jobs under the latest plan. | aerospace |

He didn’t announced the location of the rollout, but presumably it will be in Mojave, as he said test flights of the aircraft would not begin until August or September. (Interestingly, it is the day before Burt Rutan and Sir Richard Branson are scheduled to appear at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh “with SpaceShipTwo”.) This date had been predicted for a few weeks, such as by Rob Coppinger at Flightglobal.com.
Whitehorn, interestingly, was playing up the alternative uses of WK2 in his talk, noting that, in addition to launching SpaceShipTwo, it could be used for air-launching rockets for putting small satellites into orbit, for science, even for cargo and as a “water bomber” for fighting forest fires. He described these applications in part as a “fallback” should SS2 fall through in some way.
He added that, as noted by Flightglobal.com earlier this month, Virgin had considered flying a version of SS1 first (which he dubbed “SpaceShipOne B”). However, they rejected the idea because SS1B would be too small to allow people to float around the cabin, and that was something their customers were very much interested in. Moreover, he said, there would be few other applications for an SS1B besides tourism. That desire for weightlessness forced them into designing a larger vehicle that could accommodate customers’ desires for weightlessness as well as support additional applications.
Whitehorn had little to say about the status of the SS2 propulsion program in the wake of the accident last summer that killed three Scaled employees. He said there had been “lessons learnt” from the accident and that they were moving ahead, but offered nothing more specific.

Right-Angle FORJ Reduces Size and Weight
SPINNER recognized the challenges posed by the limited space available inside drones, especially when camera gimbals are integrated. Due to the required high-speed 4K video data transmission rates (HD-SDI), there is no alternative to fiber-optic systems. The problem with conventional fiber-optic rotary joints is that the fibers run axially, i.e. they enter and leave along the rotational axis, which increases the space requirement.
SPINNER has developed a globally unique solution and implemented it in the 1.14L. An ingenious optical system allows the fiber to exit at a 90° angle to the axis of rotation, which greatly reduces the required space. Carefully selected optical components, along with highly precise production, ensure reliable long-term operation. | aerospace |

Out of the factors that are considered during the appraisal of an aircraft, we have engine hours, the history of damage and the equipment which is installed in the aircraft. There are many reasons why you can decide to conduct an aircraft appraisal, and some of the most common reasons may include determining the market value of the aircraft so that the aircraft can be used as collateral by a financial institution and so that to determine the overall condition of an aircraft. Since aircraft appraisal is a very technical process, it is critical that you use the services of the best aircraft appraisal company as you will find out by reading this article.
One of the benefits of hiring the services of the top aircraft appraisal company is that they will provide you with a full valuation of your aircraft. Because you will be provided with a comprehensive valuation of the market value of your aircraft, you will, therefore, be able to revise the value of your aircraft in the financial statements so that to reflect the current worth of the aircraft. Another reason why you should hire the services of the best aircraft appraisal company is that they have gathered a wide range of experience in appraising many other aircraft in the past. When you hire an experienced aircraft appraiser, they will use some of the best techniques in determining the value of your aircraft which will enable you to have the best results from the valuation process that you can rely on.
The other top advantage of hiring the best aircraft appraisal company is that their appraisers have some of the best skills and knowledge in the industry which will, therefore, mean that they can conduct a valuation process on all types of aircraft. The advantage of having an aircraft appraisal company that can conduct a valuation on several models of aircraft is that you will enjoy the convenience because your commercial jets, drones, helicopters, and business aircraft will be evaluated without having to hire another separate company. You should also know that when you hire the best aircraft appraisal company, you will not have to worry about the various regulations on valuation because the best aircraft appraisal company is compliant and accredited by the aircraft regulators. | aerospace |

I was there as part of a #NASASocial event (my second) to attend the agency’s “State of NASA” event, where Acting NASA Administrator Robert Lightfoot discussed the Administration’s 2019 Budget.
Jason Snell and I spoke at length about the budget on today’s episode of Liftoff. You should go check it out, but the TL;DR is that the White House wants NASA to push Mars to the back burner and get back to the moon next decade. There are a lot of questions about if that’s possible given the budget, and there is lot to be upset about, including cuts to Earth Sciences and education, the cancellation of the WFIRST telescope and the doubts it throws on the future of the International Space Station.
My Day at Marshall
NASA’s operations are spread all over the country, with different centers playing different roles in the agency. Marshall houses a lot of support staff for the International Space Station. The Station’s racks — the large compartments that house the science experiments, equipment and other assets the crew use on a daily basis — are part of a complex, ever-evolving system. The team at Marshall work 24/7/365 to conduct experiments and maintain the hardware about the station.
This mockup is located at Marshall. It is designed to provide a place for training of staff who interact with other parts of NASA and the crew aboard the Station. Many of the panels are actually touchscreens that are capable of showing multiple racks. Tap a button or flip a switch, and the simulation does what the rack would do. It was a lot of fun to play with, but more importantly, it provides valuable insight to those who have to work with — and communicate about — this equipment.
This lab is maintained and updated in conjunction with high school interns. I think that’s really cool. I was a big student newspaper nerd in high school, and I loved the couple of chances I had to see how a “real” newspaper worked.
There are other teams in Huntsville working on design elements for future space habitats, like the one that may orbit the moon or even travel to Mars in the 2020s or beyond. Formerly called the Deep Space Gateway, the idea is pretty simple: put a small space station in orbit around the moon and use it as a platform to explore the moon or go to Mars.
The group we met is focused on the human elements of these spaces, not the technology. A trip to Mars and back will take years, so strapping crew members into a capsule isn’t enough; they need sleeping quarters, a kitchen, a place to exercise and more.
We toured a multi-story mockup that included all of this and more. Thanks to the diameter of NASA’s new rocket, the SLS, these habitats can be quite large:
Inside, the team was exploring ideas and concepts in 3D-space. I have to say, I died a little bit inside when I saw the kitchen area was noticeably bigger than the one in my wife and I’s first apartment together. Don’t tell her.
A large part of this research is about the reparability of hardware, both before and after launch. Questions about access, space for tool movement and more are considered, and with the use of motion tracking, can be mocked up virtually before any welds are made.
Marshall Space Flight Center’s heritage is in propulsion. The center has been home to the development of every major NASA vehicle, from the early days of Mercury to the shuttle and now NASA’s new rocket, the SLS.
SLS is a big vehicle. It will evolve and grow over time, but will put NASA back on the map when it comes to flying crew, equipment and supplies to low-Earth orbit and beyond. The rocket itself is made up of remixed shuttle-era hardware, including the two side-mounted solid rocket boosters and the RS-25 motors at the bottom of the stack, which once graced the business end of the orbiter itself.
We saw the several components that are being built in Huntsville. Not everything is being built at Marshall, but a lot of the technology in the rocket, including its avionics computer software is being developed there.
One such piece was the launch vehicle stage adapter, which connects the top of the rocket to the bottom of its payload, in this case, the upcoming Orion crew capsule. It towered in the backdrop of Lightfoot’s presentation, half-covered in thermal protection foam:
We also saw another adaptor that will sit directly below Orion. The back of this adaptor will be open to space when the rocket separates, and NASA is taking advantage of that to launch 13 cubesats on the rocket’s first launch in December 2019.
The cubestas will be ejected from those carriers that line the inside of the ring. There’s something special about this part that really caught my eye:
— Stephen Hackett (@ismh) February 12, 2018
One of the last stops for the day was in a giant building that housed a huge testing facility built to stress the engine mounts that will attach the RS-25 motors to the bottom of the SLS. It’s hard to judge scale, but this thing was over five stories tall:
This custom-built test chamber was designed to mimic the stresses that would be applied to the part during launch and flight. The team was happy to report that it passed with flying colors. Now they just have to take it all apart.
We ended the day at the U.S. Space and Rocket Center. Their museum is incredible, and from what I saw, I really missed out by not ever going to Space Camp as a kid.
If I could sum up everything I saw at Marshall, it’s that NASA is busy. It’s easy to get distracted by companies like Blue Origin and SpaceX and forget that America’s space agency is hard at work building its next-generation heavy lift rocket and crew capsule.
Best I can tell, the shift in focus from Mars back to the moon doesn’t mean NASA is tearing up a bunch of work and starting over; the SLS and Orion can easily support either mission location, and work on planning a cis-lunar space station was already underway.
That’s not to say there’s not a lot to do. There are serious questions as to if the agency will be ready to return to cis-lunar space next decade, let alone land on the moon again. The current level of budgeting doesn’t seem to account for everything that would be need to make the National Space Council’s vision a reality.
What is certain, to me at least, is that the men and women who make up NASA’s nation-wide workforce are dedicated to their work. From keeping the International Space Station running smoothly to building that new rocket, NASA is humming along, doing what it does best: building systems for the advancement of science, discovery and humanity itself. | aerospace |

The coronavirus crisis will transform aviation, giving airlines their best chance yet to address climate change. Sustainable fuels are a key part of that strategy.
This Mckinsey & Company article considers the current retrenchment in the aviation industry by virtue of COVID19 and the extent this will lead to structural changes that might provide an opportunity to rebuild the industry for a low-carbon future, something that airlines have been grappling with for some time. http://www.asiascot.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Mckinseys_AirlinesPathtoZeroCarbon.pdf | aerospace |

This is reported by the American edition of The Drive .
The publication states that during the tests, a certain object separated from the Chinese hypersonic aircraft.
It is assumed that we are talking about some kind of guided missile, but its goals and objectives remain unclear for the United States. However, it is emphasized that the separation in the atmosphere of the payload at hypersonic speed with the help of a gliding apparatus suggests that the Chinese could achieve a colossal technological breakthrough.
The Financial Times reported in November that China had tested a new hypersonic weapon . At the same time, it was noted that Beijing’s achievements in this area took Pentagon specialists by surprise.
The material said that the released device developed a speed of at least five times the speed of sound, while another launch was made during the flight. Previously, no other country has been able to achieve this.
In turn, the deputy head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the US Armed Forces, General John Hayten, admitted in October that the Chinese have made significant progress in the development of hypersonic weapons. | aerospace |

In his presentation, “Exploring the Asteroid Vesta: NASA’s Dawn Mission,” Dr. McSween will share information about the Dawn spacecraft, which has completed its orbital investigation of Vesta and is now en route to Ceres. The properties of these two massive asteroids provide an interesting view of the diversity of planetary building blocks.
Launched in 2007, the nearly decade-long mission will look at the asteroid Vesta and dwarf planet Ceres. Scientists hope to compare these two celestial bodies and the evolutionary path each took during the formation of the solar system. Data from the Dawn spacecraft could provide opportunities for significant breakthroughs in our understanding of how the solar system formed.
Dr. McSween has won a number of national and international awards and has long been funded by NASA for research on meteorites. His influence is so renowned that he even has an asteroid – 5223 McSween – named in his honor by the International Astronomical Union.

This pressurized fluid is then routed to motors and actuators that go on to operate a variety of mechanical parts. Because the fluid is nearly incompressible, hydraulic systems are incredibly reliable which means increased safety. They are sturdier and capable of transmitting higher pressures than pneumatic counterparts.
For in-flight systems, hydraulics are typically run by engine-driven pumps, operated by the jet engine’s rotation. On the other hand, in emergency situations, pilots rely on hand-operated hydraulic systems. For example, these hand-operated electric powered hydraulic pump can be used to extend the landing gear in the instance the plane loses its normal hydraulic pressure.
In an aircraft, the hydraulic fluid is pushed through the system, to an actuator or servo cylinder. A piston located inside the cylinder transforms the fluid power into the force that is needed to move the aircraft system controls. There are two types of cylinders, single-acting and double-acting. Pressure can be applied to one or both sides of the cylinder depending on the type.
A typical aircraft hydraulic system consists of many components all with individual job sets. Such parts include a reservoir to hold the hydraulic fluid, pto driven hydraulic pump to pressurize the system, an actuator to control amount the force. Other auxiliary parts to keep the system running properly include a filter to keep the fluid clean, selector valves to control the direction of flow, and relief valve to relieve excess pressure. A common modern jet’s hydraulic system is pressurized at an unbelievable force, ranging from 3,000 pounds per square inch and upwards. | aerospace |

With so many operators ceasing flight operations at this time, it’s important to know that the preservation of the airframe, avionics, APU and engines is not only mandated by the manufacturer but also critical to the long-term airworthiness of the entire aircraft.
The actions you take today will help prevent further cost when you return the aircraft to airworthiness.
We highly recommend exercising the aircraft and following official OEM preservation schedules. If your aircraft has been sitting for as little as a month, it may already be over the minimum requirement for preservation steps to take place. | aerospace |

From the humblest sailplane or microlight to the mightiest 747, safety procedures have to be completed, to ensure that aircraft don’t drop out of the skies like confetti.
Before any aircraft takes flight, it’s crew must conduct a thorough inspection to make sure that it is in a fit state to fly. Cabin attendants will check every door and overhead locker, and ensure that all of their required safety equipment is in place.
Their pilot colleagues will also be checking all flight systems thoroughly. There are two elements to this – the internal cockpit checks, and what is known in the trade, as the “walk-around” or the exterior preflight inspection.
Each item to be inspected is laid out in the Flight Crew Operating Manual, or FCOM, and follows a carefully planned and logical sequence so that no item is left unchecked.
As an instructor, strict adherence to procedures is part of my everyday working life.
Here is my lighthearted look at the external walk-around procedure for the Boeing B747-400.
I think it’s a little better than writing about the procedure I follow on my own, much smaller aeroplane.
Whilst our Jumbo’s on the ground,
Before each flight, we must walk round,
And carefully check so many things,
Are engines fixed, likewise the wings,
Are panels shut, are windows clean,
Do nav lights work, do lenses gleam,
And as a safety-conscious fellow,
Be sure to wear your vest of yellow,
To help you check before night flight,
Be sure to use your bright flashlight,
Do just what the FCOM says,
Check the tyres, and gear door bays,
Check the cowls, and drain mast pipes,
Inspect the engine pylon stripes,
Look at the fin, and check the slats,
The lightning wicks, and Fowler flaps,
For safety’s sake – what could be worse?
Than looking forwards whilst in reverse!
Check the brakes and steering too,
The vacuum outlet for the loo,
The outflow valve, the pitot head,
Oh boy – you should have stayed in bed,
Cos whilst you check in pouring rain,
The captains in the warm – AGAIN! | aerospace |

Dr. Alex Ellery
Designing self-replicating 3D printers to build advanced infrastructure in hostile environments
|Type of researcher|
|Introduce yourself, your experience and your credentials||
The age-old argument as to whether humans or robots should be used for space exploration comes up regularly. The reality is that there is no discord between humans and robots in space exploration. Each plays a complementary role in the division of labour in space, with machines acting as modern extensions of the tools that were first brought into service millions of years ago.
Human history has been the story of the ever-increasing deployment and sophistication of those tools. Robots are the ultimate tools, projecting our capabilities to hazardous and remote places like other planets.
Dr. Alex Ellery, Canada Research Chair in Space Robotics and Space Technology, aims to develop the capabilities of robots, so that they can explore, survey and eventually build on planets. Doing so will compensate for limited human capabilities to explore distant and hazardous places.
Ellery’s goal is to develop robots—or “robonauts”—that can navigate and traverse on their own in hostile terrain. The robots will also have to be able to use their own judgment to select interesting rocks for examination, be capable of manipulating rocks and soil to acquire samples, and make scientific assessments in order to determine their next course of action.
Ellery’s research will help ensure that robots can project human goals far beyond where humans can tread.
|Describe your research||
Our job is to essentially develop new robotic techniques to enhance space exploration. The work that we do in my lab are associated with traditional robotics. For examples, manipulate controls in space in order to provide new techniques to fix satellites when they go awry in space.
Secondly, our work is based on planetary rovers. Such as developing new rover techniques to make them more efficient robots to explore other planets. I also work on developing new AI techniques to make satellites smarter, so they can resist against cyber attacks.
However, the latest work that we are doing I think is the more interesting aspect. We have been looking at how to use 3D printing on the lunar environment and other planetary environment.
A few years ago, I’ve asked myself the question, what can space exploration or space technology do to help solve some of our global problem, such as climate change.
One of the things I came up was the idea of implementing solar powering satellites as a form of clean energy. Of course, that’s not a novel idea, it’s not new at all. But one of the big hindrances to it as been the sheer expense of launching these large satellites or constellation of satellites into earth’s orbit to capture solar energy and beam it down as microwave to the earth. And of course, the cost element as always been at launch.
One way to circumvent this is to forget launch entirely and try to build these satellites from materials available in space such as the moon. This is one of the thing that we’ve been working towards.
The next stage is to take that raw material and somehow manufacture useful products like spacecraft, robots, that sort of thing. If we can 3D print electromotors and we can
3D print computing electronics from lunar material, it basically means that we can print
robots. If we can print robots, we can print any type of kinematics mechanism or machines. If we can do that we can then print the components for solar powering satellites. And if we can print the components for solar powering satellites, we can build the component of a solar powered satellite on the moon and then send it to orbit around the earth, and provide a form of very low-cost energy to supply the earth.
|Explain its significance||
The end goal is to build a self-replicating machine. A self-replicating machine, as you can imagine is a 3D printer on wheels, a little more exotic than that perhaps. Essentially it can take raw material and build copies of itself.
The power of such a machine is immense because it means that we can build a general purpose factory, build a copy of that general purpose factory and keep on building, generating a productive capacity which grows exponentially.
Although we are initially applying this on the moon, it has applications here on earth also. For example, greening of the Sahara Desert. This is currently very expensive to do, but with a self-replicating machine it becomes very inexpensive and quite plausible.
It has implications also in developing countries. Because the unit itself is very small, it can be form of providing local productive capacity at a very low cost. And because its 3D printing, it effectively costs nothing.

Heraeus Noblelight joins the FRAMES project, part of the Clean Sky 2 program, the largest European research programme developing innovative, cutting-edge technology aimed at reducing CO2, gas emissions and noise levels produced by aircrafts. The project therefore researches the usage of thermoplastic composites for a lightweight aircraft rear fuselage and empennage. The FRAMES applied research project is scheduled for 2.5 years. FRAMES stands for Fiber reinforced thermoplastics manufacturing for stiffened, complex, doubled curved structure.
Torsten Jenek Head of Innovation Optics and Flash at Heraeus Noblelight commented: “Heraeus acknowledges its environmental responsibility. Carbon composites contribute to more sustainable air travel and the reduction of CO2 footprint. Heraeus” humm3 technology is perfectly suited to scale carbon composite Automated Fiber Placement (AFP) processes to large volumes required for future aircraft. Heraeus is proud to be part of that.”
Expansion in passenger traffic has presented many new opportunities to the airline industry whilst also presenting the industry, the challenge of reducing their carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Commercial fleets are aging, and the demands of operators, passengers and legislators are driving improvements in aircraft efficiency and comfort. The fuselage of the next generation of large passenger aircrafts will rely on the benefits of thermoplastic composites. Improved lightweight composites that incorporate strength and toughness, recycling potential and faster production cycles will enable the capacity to meet the future aviation challenges.
Composites are increasingly being used in the aerospace industry, as they help contribute to lighter aircraft and consequently help reduce fuel consumption and emissions. The manufacturing of complex forms of aircraft rear end section with continuous fiber-reinforced thermoplastics still poses a considerable challenge of high processing temperatures, raw material costs, complex temperature-controlled tooling and evolutive cross section.
The main objective for the FRAMES project is to validate and assess a manufacturing approach of an integral thermoplastic rear end with critical design features. Key technologies developed within FRAMES project will then be deployed into mid-scale advanced rear end demonstrator manufactured by the Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt (DLR), part of a Clean Sky 2 technology platform for large passenger aircraft. The consortium is seeking to bring reliable and competitive industrial solutions for intelligent heating systems for automated lay up. Efficient stiffeners production process and advanced heating tooling.
Heraeus Noblelight will be leading the development of a combined optical-thermal simulation tool for fiber placement with a Xenon Flash heating device such as humm3, enabling fast lay up.
ESTIA-Compositadour will lead the project, perform fiber placement trials and support the DLR during manufacturing and delivery of rear end demonstrator.

They include Wop May, a pilot of the first two airplanes that crossed into the Northwest Territories in 1921 to herald the beginning of organized flights into the Canadian Arctic. So to was Punch Dickins an aviation pioneer.
On August 28, 1928, Punch took off on an expedition accompanied by Bill Nadin, chartering some 5,500 kilometres of terrain in Canada’s North, transporting the fuel required to refill his airplane inflight! In January 1929, convinced that it was possible to deliver northern mail by air, Punch organized a delivery in ten stages between Waterways, Alberta and Fort Simpson. Following this, he pushed on to Aklavik, making him the very first pilot to fly over the shores of the Arctic coast.
Punch flew hundreds of hours with no real landmarks, no GPS, no radar or radio, nor did he carry charts, except for the rough maps that he drew as he came and went!
During the course of his career, Punch Dickins, explorer of the Canadian skies, flew over more than a million miles, earning his nickname of Snow Eagle. His exploits well illustrate the fighting spirit among the bush pilots of the Great North!
In the 1930s, mining companies began using airplanes to ferry prospectors to Great Bear and Great Slave Lakes. The development of the airplane and its practical applications in mineral exploration were important factors in the discovery of gold in Yellowknife. Cominco, who developed the Con Mine here, very actively used the airplane in the search for gold and silver. Cominco’s top managers William Archibald and William Jewitt were pioneer aviators in this part of the country. The first bushplanes to land on Yellowknife Bay in 1929 were those commissioned by Cominco, and Dominion Explorers, who was looking for copper on the arctic coast in today’s Nunavut. | aerospace |

At the dawn of American military aviation, Brooks and Kelly were comfortably far out enough in the country that aviators of fixed wing and lighter-than-air flying machines could train without endangering any but themselves. Brooks Field was officially established in 1918 as a training base for the Air Service of the US Army Signal Corps. For some years, Brooks Field was the Army Air Corps primary flight training school, until that mission relocated to Randolph AFB. After that, Brooks became the new home for the Aerial Observation Center.
Following World War II, Brooks was the home for several reserve and tactical units, officially becoming an Air Force Base with the establishment of the Air Force as a separate service. In the early 1950s, Brooks became home to the Aerospace Medical Center – to include the School for Aerospace Medicine (SAM), which would deal in research with applicability to flight and space exploration. President John F. Kennedy’s last official act as president was to dedicate the SAM building on November 21, 1963. He was assassinated the following day in Dallas.
The mission of Brooks AFB continued to be focused on science and medical research with regard to aviation and space flight, including aerospace medical learning, aircrew health assessment, and such activities as the Air Force’s drug testing lab, and an occupational and environmental health lab.
In the mid 1990s, when Brooks was listed as excess for current military needs and slated for closure by the Base Realignment and Realignment Commission, a plan was worked out by city, state, local and military planners to privatize Brooks, essentially to replace military activities with a mix of civic and privately owned scientific, or educational establishments.
Brooks is also home to the Museum of Aerospace Medicine, or “Hanger 9” – a World War I-era frame aircraft hanger, the single remaining hanger of 16, built in Brooks’ earliest days, when flight training was accomplished in Curtiss JN-4 “Jennies”. Hanger 9 is listed as a national historic monument.
Currently, Brooks City Base is home to the Air Force’s 311Air Base Group. The military mission is expected to close in 2011.
Neighborhoods and suburbs adjacent to Brooks City Base include Highland Hills, Stinson Park and Kingsborough Park. Brooks City Base is also a short distance from San Antonio Missions National Historic Park, and Mission San Juan Capistrano.

We have lots of parts from our drone projects. It’s interesting that we haven’t tried before. Drones appear to be more popular than rc planes if one goes by the internet.
We are going for the simplest thing we can think of. We bought some foamboard and cut it into the wing tail and body. We half cut through it to make the control surfaces.
We ripped a crappy small brushless motor and esc from our eldest drone project. The esc back powers the radio receiver through the control line
We had a bag of mini servos and a Turnigy 9x. The servos are directly connectable to the receiver unit. I don’t see why you’d need more than 3 servos to get starts. One for the ailerons connected on opposite sides of the servo horn so that they flap oppositely. We used paper clips as push rods. One for the rudder and one for the elevator flap. Putting the controller into an airplane mode is a bit confusing, but Ben figured it out eventually.
We sized things to look roughly plane like. I’ve heard a longer wingspan is better for trainers and gliders. Also we dug up a calculator for wing loading. All our stuff comes in to about 10oz.
We didn’t follow this but maybe we should have | aerospace |

Airplanes are considered as one of the safest modes of transportation. This is the reason why aviation industry is growing. Passengers are assured that planes are equipped with the most advanced technology to navigate in the sky. With the proven skills of pilots and the help of lights, navigation and safety are achievable.
Speaking of lights, there are two general categories of external lights on the aircraft. Navigation lights are the first category. These lights are always turned while the aircraft is in operation. Another category is lights that improve visibility, especially during landing and takeoff. You should know that there are many parts of a flight. It will start from taxiing, takeoff, climbing, cruising, descending and landing.
Landing is the last part of your flight but it doesn’t mean it is not equally important. This is when the aircraft return to the ground. In this particular section, you will get to know more about aviation landing lights. Landing lights refer to lights that are installed on an aircraft that can illuminate the runway or terrain during takeoff and landing. Landing lights are effectively useful for nighttime operations.
Landing lights are not your usual lamps at home. It is high-intensity lights considering the distance of the aircraft and the terrain. Other aircraft even 100 miles away should see landing lights. There are many considerations of landing light that include weight, intensity, reliability and power consumption. The industry prefers landing lights that are intense, lightweight, longer service lives while consuming little power. This is manifested by Light-emitting Diode (LED) light source.
Light-emitting Diode (LED) is one of the most famous light sources not only in the aviation industry but also other industries. LEDs may be small but it doesn’t mean it is less effective. It is known for its low power consumption, longer service life, faster switching and physical sturdiness.
LEDs produce the following colors with the help of semiconductor materials:
- Infrared: For infrared LEDs, the semiconductor materials used are Gallium arsenide and Aluminum gallium arsenide.
- Red: For red LEDs, the semiconductor materials used are Aluminum gallium arsenide, gallium arsenide phosphide, aluminum gallium indium phosphide and gallium phosphide.
- Orange: For orange LEDs, semiconductor materials used are Gallium arsenide phosphide, Aluminum gallium indium phosphide, and gallium phosphide.
- Yellow: For yellow LEDs, semiconductor materials used are gallium arsenide phosphide, aluminum gallium indium phosphide, and gallium phosphide.
- Green: For green LEDs, semiconductor materials used are gallium phosphide, aluminum gallium indium phosphide, and aluminum gallium phosphide.
- Blue: For blue LEDs, semiconductor materials used are zinc selenide, indium gallium nitride, silicon carbide and silicon.
- Violet: For violet LEDs, semiconductor materials used are indium gallium nitride.
- White: For white LEDs. Semiconductor materials used are a blue diode and orange phosphor.
- Purple: For purple LEDs, semiconductor materials used are red LEDs and blue and red phosphor.
The primary role of landing lights is to give visibility to pilots especially if they are close to the terrain. Landing lights are usually turned off when the plane reaches the cruising part. Landing lights can also serve as the pilot’s communication device when all else fails. | aerospace |

Malaysia Airline System
One of the factors that contributed to the growth of tourism in Malaysia and catapulted it to one of the top 10 destinations in the world, is the fact that Malaysia has a well developed system of air travel.
There are four (4) major Malaysian air carriers presently serving the country. “Malaysia Airlines” is the national carrier and is owned by the Malaysian Government.
The other popular Malaysian air carriers, is the low cost no frills carrier “AirAsia”. The third major Malaysian airline serving the country is “Firefly” which is the first community airline in Malaysia.
The fourth Malaysian carrier operating the “Rural Air Services” (RAS) for East Malaysia is “MASwings”.
The latter two Malaysian carriers are wholly owned subsidiaries of Malaysia Airlines but with independent management teams.
Malaysia Airline System - Malaysian Airlines (MAS)
This is the national carrier for Malaysia and is based at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA). Malaysia Airlines is one of the safest airlines in the world. This Malaysian airline flies to over 80 destinations across 6 continents.
It is also one of the top airlines in the world and has been awarded a full 5 star rating by Skytrax, an independent airlines observer.
Malaysia Airlines (MAS) – My Thoughts?
My personal experience with MAS? Well the services on international flights are commendable but those on domestic routes still have room for improvement.
A low cost, budget airline that dominates the domestic routes and is one of the fastest growing airlines in the Asia Pacific region.
It won the Skytrax award for “The World's Best Low-Cost Airline” in 2009 and 2010. Its CEO, Tony Fernandez, was once an employee of Richard Branson, the CEO of Virgin Atlantic Airways. Having taken a few flights on this airline myself, I find this Malaysia Airline quite good value for money.
Comfort wise, the leather seats are a great relief. However, the airline is notorious for delays, although I have yet to suffer from any such delays. The airline also serves international routes through its various subsidiaries like Thai AirAsia, Indonesia AirAsia, VietJet AirAsia and AirAsia X.
Frankly, despite having the odd hiccup, there is no other airline within the region that can equal AirAsia in terms of price competiveness.
Every now and then, AirAsia conducts a travel promotion which entails giving away up to a million free seats on its flights.
it is based at the Low Cost Carrier Terminal (LCCT) at KLIA. Flights are usually on new Airbus 320s and I love the leather seats. Personally, the airline gives value for money and is true to its slogan, “Now everyone can fly”. Why do I say that? Because, for just $5 or $10, you get the opportunity to fly all over the country. It’s cheaper than taking the bus!
Malaysia Airline System – FireFly Sdn Bhd
The first community airline in Malaysia, whatever that means, Firefly is a wholly owned subsidiary of Malaysia Airlines.
This Malaysia Airline, operates from 3 hubs, Subang airport, Penang airport and KLIA. The present routes of this airline cover mostly domestic destination and the neighbouring countries of Indonesia, Singapore and Thailand.
The airline operates mostly on new ATR 72-500 aircrafts.
Service wise, I haven’t had the opportunity to experience it yet, but being a wholly owned subsidiary of MAS, the standard should be higher than those of AirAsia.
Malaysia Airline System – MASwings
This Malaysian airline is the regional provider of air services for East Malaysia and is a subsidiary of MAS.
Having taken over the Rural Air Service (RAS) from FlyAsianXpress in 2007, MASwings has upgraded its fleet of aircrafts from Fokker F50 to the more modern ATR 72-500. Operational headquarters is based in the city of Miri, Sarawak. | aerospace |

Two South Korean air force planes have collided in mid-air and crashed, killing four pilots, Seoul’s military has said.
The KT-1 trainer aircrafts crashed on Friday near Sacheon town, about 300 kilometres south of the capital Seoul, according to military authorities.
“Two KT-1 trainer planes at the Sacheon Air Base collided in mid-air while training and crashed,” the defence ministry said in a statement.
Two people — a trainer pilot and an instructor — were aboard each of the two KT-1 aircraft.
All four ejected from the planes but were later found dead, the air force statement said.
The four victims were identified as two first lieutenants and their instructors, both civilian employees at the air force.
The military will “check the exact situation of damage and investigate the cause of the accident,” the statement added.
Over 30 firefighters and emergency responders were dispatched to the crash site, the Yonhap news agency reported.
Friday’s crash is the latest incident involving South Korea’s air force planes this year.
In January, an air force pilot was killed in a F-5 fighter jet crash.
That incident took place shortly after the country grounded its entire fleet of advanced F-35 fighter jets, after one of them was forced to make a dramatic emergency landing after a major systems malfunction.
The Korean Peninsula remains in a technical state of war, as the armistice that ended the conflict in 1953 has yet to be replaced with a peace treaty.

This interconnector, a joint venture between the two nations, was built to enhance the electricity transmission capacity between the two countries. However, during the laying of underwater cables for the interconnector, an unexpected find emerged from the depths of the English Channel.
The wreckage of the plane, believed to be a fighter aircraft from the Second World War era, had lain undisturbed for over seven decades beneath the ocean’s surface. The interconnector project involved extensive dredging and excavation of the seabed to lay the necessary cables. It was during this process that the remnants of the aircraft were unexpectedly uncovered.
The discovery sparked immediate interest among historians and aviation enthusiasts worldwide. Efforts were quickly mobilized to identify the aircraft and uncover its historical significance. Experts from both the British and French military history departments were brought in to study the wreckage and determine its origin.
Initial investigations suggest that the crashed plane belonged to the British Royal Air Force (RAF) and was lost during a combat mission over the English Channel. The aircraft’s identification numbers and other markings, though weathered by time and the corrosive effects of the saltwater environment, provided vital clues for identification purposes.
The finding of the crashed WW2 plane not only offers a unique glimpse into the past but also raises questions about the circumstances surrounding its demise. Further examination of the wreckage and its associated artifacts, such as munitions and personal effects, may provide valuable insights into the air battles fought during World War II and the experiences of the pilots involved.
The British-French interconnector project, originally intended to bolster energy infrastructure and foster closer cooperation between the two nations, has inadvertently become a catalyst for historical discovery. The unearthing of this crashed plane serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by countless individuals during one of the most significant conflicts in human history.
The respective governments, in collaboration with historical organizations and military experts, are now undertaking the delicate process of recovering and preserving the remains of the aircraft. Plans are underway to restore and exhibit the wreckage, allowing the public to learn from this tangible piece of history and pay tribute to those who served.
The British-French interconnector, while fulfilling its primary objective of enhancing energy transmission, has inadvertently illuminated a forgotten chapter of the past. It stands as a testament to the profound impact of historical events and the unexpected intersections between technology, infrastructure, and the remnants of human endeavors. As the recovered plane emerges from the depths, it offers a poignant reminder of the human stories behind the machinery of war and the importance of remembering and understanding our shared history. | aerospace |

A total of six jets were sent to the area in response to three such incidents on Sunday, although there was no border violation, the Reuters news agency quoted the statement saying.
Last month, Syrian forces shot down a Turkish jet in the border area.
The incident further strained already tense relations between former allies.
On Friday, Turkey said it had begun deploying rocket launchers and anti-aircraft guns along the border in response to the downing of its F-4 Phantom jet.
Turkey has strongly criticised Syria’s response to the 16-month anti-government uprising, which has seen more than 30,000 Syrian refugees enter Turkey.
Four of the six jets were scrambled from the air base of Incirlik in response to Syrian helicopters flying close to the Turkish province of Hatay, Reuters quoted Sunday’s army statement as saying.
Two more F-16s took off from a base in Batman after Syrian helicopters were spotted close to the province of Mardin, it added. | aerospace |

USAF designed flying disk to bomb Soviet Union
Secret documents, declassified since 1997, reveal development of a USAF"forty foot 'flying saucer' designed to rain nuclear destruction on the Soviet Union from 300 miles in space." The American saucer was called the Lenticular Reentry Vehicle (LRV)
According to the documents the bomber was designed by engineers at North American Aviation in Los Angeles under contract with the United States Air Force.
The unique craft would have landed much like a space shuttle, re-entering the atmosphere and gliding to a landing on a dry lake, utilizing skids, instead of heavier wheeled landing gear | aerospace |

A few years ago he had traveled around the world aboard a trimaran powered exclusively by solar energy. A sort of fixed one for the sun and energy saving, which conditioned Domjan’s choices. Today a new challenge awaits you, which has already been discussed in recent years. Now, for the SolarStratos project, it has entered more than ever and should take off in 2022. As the name implies, it is a solar powered aircraft. Plane with which will have to reach the altitude of 60,000 feet (almost 20,000 meters), so as to get to fly in the stratosphere.
The SolarStratos weighs 450 kg and just over 8 meters long. While the solar cells that cover the aircraft have a total area of over 70 square meters. The energy obtained through these cells is then stored in a lithium ion battery. The electric motor generates 43 horsepower at 2200 rpm. The plane is not pressurized, therefore Raphal Domjan will be equipped with oxygen and a space suit. Everything you need to fly at an altitude that allows you to see the curvature of the Earth. To get to that altitude it will take two hours to reach the area the layer of atmosphere concerned, 15 minutes of flight in the stratosphere and then three hours for the descent.
The maiden voyage scheduled for 2022. Be the forerunner of a project that wants to offer the possibility of a similar experience for private passengers and scientists. The intent is also to feed the image of the SolarPlanet Foundation of Domjan, which is committed to promoting solar energy to combat climate change.

First class didn't even get a fully flat bed until the mid-1990s – if you watch the original Mission: Impossible movie (released in 1996 – yes, some 22 years ago) you will still see British Airways' then-first class seat, a plush old-world recliner.
However it was only a few years later, in 1999, that BA launched a business class seat which transformed into a fully flat bed, firing the starter's gun on a race by other premium airlines to upgrade their own business class seats to suit.
Qantas followed in 2003 with the original Marc Newson-styled Skybed for its Boeing 747-400 jumbo jets, although the bed extended at angle to the floor rather than go a full 180 degrees horizontal – that didn't come until the Skybed II of the Qantas Airbus A380s in 2008.
Such 'fully lie-flat' beds quickly became the norm for long-range flights on the big twin-aisle jets such as Boeing 747, 777 and 787, and Airbus A330, A350 and A380 superjumbo.
This same trend is now starting to trickle down to the smaller single-aisle jets such as the Boeing 737 and Airbus A320, bringing a lie-flat experience to passengers on shorter trips of around 4-6 hours.
Virgin's 'Perth product'
This could extend to domestic flights between Australia's east coast capitals and Perth, if Virgin Australia makes good on John Borghetti's blueprint for what the outgoing CEO refers to as the airline's top-secret 'Perth product'.
This would see at least some of Virgin's workhorse Boeing 737 jets fitted with a radical new business class seat which leapfrogs the conventional domestic recliner of Virgin Australia and Qantas.
US airline JetBlue has already shown the potential of lie-flat business class on US transcontinental flights, with the Mint premium cabin of its Airbus A321 jets sporting flat beds and even some first class-style 'mini suites' on flights from New York and Boston to Los Angeles, San Francisco, Las Vegas and Seattle.
(JetBlue has been somewhat of a disruptor in the US, with its Mint class also offering free high-speed WiFi, live TV and radio.)
Joining the lie-flat club
Other airlines are now catching onto the lie-flat trend for single-aisle jets, especially as new aircraft join their fleets.
Some of Philippine Airlines' Airbus A321neo flights between Australia and Manila offer a two-metre long flat bed in business class.
Central American airline Copa and Emirates' regional sister FlyDubai have both rolled out lie-flat seats on their new Boeing 737 MAX jets, while United Airlines and Singapore Airlines' offshoot SilkAir both plan to introduce next-generation flat beds on their Boeing 737 MAX jets from 2020.
These show all the signs of being fore-runners in another flat-out race to add flat beds to business class.
Few people spend more time on planes, in lounges or mulling over the best ways to use frequent flyer points than David Flynn, the editor of Australian Business Traveller magazine. His unparalleled knowledge of all aspects of business travel connects strongly with the interests of Executive Style readers. | aerospace |

Some Interesting Reading About Israel & The Heavens Above (outerspace & satellites)
Many are unaware of the fact that Israel has there own version of NASA, its called: ISA or Israel Space
The Israel Space Agency got its start in 1988 when it launched the first in a series of satellies called: Ofek. The launcher was called: Shavit. Launches have also been done by using Russian and South American launchers. The most recent satellite is the Ofek 9 spy satellite which is in space with five other Israeli satellites. Ofek 9 helps to protect Israel from countries like Iran and although Ofek 9 is not too much different than the other Israeli satellites it is equipt with much more advance camera's for spying purposes. The photos are relayed back to the IDF to aid in potential defensive measures.
List of Satellites from Israel currently in orbit over the earth

"Memoirs of a B-29 Pilot" chronicles the author’s wartime experiences leading up to and as a B-29 Superfortress Aircraft Commander.
He was engaged in the Air Offensive–Japan from the Marianas Islands in the South Pacific.
He looks back at those experiences from the professional view of a retired airline captain, having flown over 35 years of service with Trans World Airlines.
After graduation as a pilot cadet, he became a bomb approach pilot at a bombardier training base for one year.
Then, rated as a B-17 Flying Fortress 1st Pilot, he spent six months duty as a B-17 instructor pilot at an airbase training new B-17 crews as replacements for the 8th Air Force in England.
Many months of training to be a B-29 Aircraft Commander followed.
He arrived at newly constructed Northwest Field, Guam, in early June 1945.
125 factory-new B-29B Superfortresses made up the new 315th Very Heavy Bomb Wing.
He and his crew flew 13 missions before the end of the war, all against oil targets.
In addition to covering his wartime service, the author concludes the book with several chapters detailing various aspects of the air war against Japan and how he believes attacking Japan’s oil refineries and supplies could have ended the war even without the use of the atomic bombs.

How do pilots get their call sign?
Other inspirations for call signs may include personality traits, middle name, references to historical figures, or past exploits during the pilots career. Aviator call signs nearly always must come from a member or members of the aviators squadron, training class, or other cohort.
How do I choose a callsign?
When choosing a callsign you need to consider the group in which they fall into. There are four groups based on authorized license class. These groups determine the number of prefix and suffix letters. After earning your first technician license, most hams receive a 2×3 callsign.
Do civilian pilots have call signs?
A general aviation aircraft in the United States with its FAA civilian registration number (N98710), which also doubles as its call sign, displayed on the fuselage. However, since this is a Civil Air Patrol aircraft, it will generally be identified by CAPxxxx, based on the state from which it hails.
What do you call a female pilot?
Women have been involved in aviation from the beginnings of both lighter-than air travel and as airplanes, helicopters and space travel were developed. Women pilots were also called aviatrices.
Do fighter pilots choose their aircraft?
Pilots may choose the aircraft they want to fly, or the branch they fly for may assign them an aircraft. Air Force pilots choose an aircraft pipeline following primary training and then move into Advanced Aircraft Training.
What does all Call mean on a plane?
ALL-CALL “Flight attendants, doors to arrival, crosscheck and all-call.” Meaning: Often part of the arming/disarming procedure, this is a request that each flight attendant report via intercom from his or her station — a sort of flight attendant conference call.
Do helicopter pilots get Callsigns?
These registration call signs or tail numbers are what most private and commercial aircraft use when being piloted. These registration numbers can be seen on all aircraft no matter if they are an airplane or a helicopter. These are the call signs I use when flying in a helicopter.
Why do pilots say Fox 2?
When you fly one of our Air Combat missions, you will hear “FOX 2, Fights On” to initiate our canned setups. “FOX 2” is a brevity code used by fighter pilots to declare a weapons release (sorta like “bombs away” from WWII).
Why do pilots say souls?
When an air traffic controller asks a pilot, during an emergency, for the number of souls on board, it communicates to the pilot that the controller and pilot are focusing extra hard together on solving the emergency successfully, and that one word tells the pilot that the controller is going to be marshalling
How do female fighter pilots poop in flight?
Portable Waste Bags are the most cost-effective and most sanitary solution for fighter jet pilots. With Brief Relief Disposable Urinal Bag and Disposa-John Portable Restroom, fighter jet pilots have a patented “bag-in-bag” solution that takes care of any solid or liquid waste. | aerospace |
