First published in 1948. This handy book describes the general operation of the jet engine, and goes on to describe the construction of the ram jet engine. The RamJet is probably the simplest of all jet engines to manufacture. It does not have very many moving parts, nor does it suffer from the problem of very high speed moving parts in a turbine jet engine. There is also a description of some of the models that this type of engine can be fitted to.

Many Irish companies (e.g. Parthus, Intune Networks, EnBio) have developed core technology through engagement with ESA and subsequently commercialised technology in multi-million export driven businesses. The striking aspect of the space sector is that it is growing consistently in almost all areas globally. Currently the space sector has a 7% annual growth rate which is four times the rate of average economic growth. The recently established Space Industry Group, including Lorraine Hanlon, is working with colleagues on developing a strategy for growing industry engagement within the space sector.
Space-based platforms support a wide and growing range of infrastructures that underpin navigation, communication, entertainment, agriculture, meteorology and time-keeping. Many downstream civilian and governmental critical infrastructures (e.g. banking and transport) are reliant on these platforms. Development of a European program to protect space assets has enormous societal benefit. | aerospace |

As the last living moonwalker from this first expedition to the Moon, his words and wisdom have become all the more precious. In Mission to Mars, Aldrin lays out his goals for the space program and how he believes we can get humans to Mars, a vision shared by Obama and one that relies on international partnership.
In Mission to Mars, Buzz makes the case and argues passionately for pushing our boundaries of knowledge and exploration of our solar system and presents his "unified space vision." Aldrin discusses the history of space flight, including a reflective, not nostalgic, look at the people, technologies and steps that were taken to accomplish the Moon landing, and plots future exploration. He says "Do not put NASA astronauts on the Moon. They have other places to go." And emphasizes that the path forward is not a competition; we cannot restart an engine to rerun a race we previously won. This is a controversial notion that causes significant division among astronauts. He also argues another controversial point - that collaboration with international partners will be key, including China, Russia and India. | aerospace |

The probable piece of space junk known as WT1190F is causing serious buzz online, because WT1190F will approach Earth on Friday, November 13. The ominous-sounding date of Friday the 13th along with the mysterious nature of WT1190F has folks more curious about WT1190F.
The object is said to be the remains of a previous space mission, most likely a spent rocket from one of the recent robotic moon missions or even a relic from the Apollo era.
According to Slooh, even though WT1190F is scheduled to crash land on Earth on Friday the 13th, it might not be a bad crash landing. WT1190F making it back into the Earth’s atmosphere will be an opportunity for scientists to discover how space junk changes and morphs — or burns up — upon re-entry into the Earth’s atmosphere.
WTF's landing is predicted to be over the Indian Ocean, approximately 62 miles from the coast of Sri Lanka and that area has been declared a no-fly zone. Also all boating activities in that area have been suspended.
According to astronomers, WTF is too small and fragile to be likely to make it to the surface but as it disintegrates, the smaller fragments will rapidly burn up creating a brilliant display of fireballs that may be visible streaking across the midday sky to the south of Sri Lanka.
WTF1190F is not the first human-made object to fall from orbit, nor is it the largest.
All I can say is whoever nicknamed the UFO "WTF" has a funny sense of humour. | aerospace |

The idea of testing is simple: try the stuff for it’s intended purpose. So that before you sell a light bulb to your customer, make sure it can be lit. And before you give air plane to customer, make sure it is safe to fly with.
Now many people might believe that flight simulators could prove good enough to test a plane, and you can easily guess that they are so wrong. the plane has to go certain hours of flight in certain conditions before it is delivered… yes, every one of them. Beyond that there are many tests to make sure it works in flight conditions it might face once in it’s life time, braking system, the load it can bear and so on.
Some one can start talking here that it is too expensive. Well it is, but is it more expensive than a plane crash with many causalities? Certainly not.
Now you can imagine, how far we should go to test software by making a call in terms of what is the expense of it’s testing comparing it to how expensive it can be if it fails. And such that we “try the stuff for it’s intended purpose”

District-cum-Additional Sessions Judge I.S. Mehta convicted Jitender Kumar Mohla, 45, under the Suppression of Unlawful Acts against Safety of Civil Aviation Act, 1982 and the Indian Penal Code (IPC).
Mohla was charged with endangering human life, criminal intimidation and impersonating a public servant. The court has fixed Oct 30 to award punishment.
Mohla was acquitted of the charges under the anti-hijacking law, observing that nothing incriminating was found from his possession when he was arrested Feb 2.
According to the prosecution, the convict enacted a mid-air drama on a Goa-Delhi Indigo flight by threatening the crew and passengers that he was carrying infected needles and gun.
The chargesheet filed by the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security alleged that Mohala’s drama created panic at the Delhi airport. The plane made an emergency landing and was kept in isolation for two-and-a-half hours.
It added that Mohla entered the cockpit and sparked panic by claiming that he had hijacked the plane. | aerospace |

Printed: 1969. (A vintage print of Visor is determined by the watermark “A Kodak Paper,” which changed after 1972 to read: "This Paper Manufactured by Kodak.")
An 11” x 14” black-and-white photograph from the original negative of Visor by Buzz Aldrin, the large format (11” x 14”) gelatin silver NASA prints were originally given as gifts to VIPs, scientists, military officials, and business people. Few 11” x 14” vintage prints of Visor are in existence from the period.
Provenance: Private Collector
Where art and science meet and what has become the best known photograph of the first manned lunar module landing by the Apollo 11 "Eagle," Neil Armstrong photographs captures Buzz Aldrin walking on the surface of the moon.
Apollo 11 Backstory:
Aldrin has been quoted: "As I walked away from the Eagle lunar module," Aldrin remembered," Neil said, 'Hold it, Buzz.' So I stopped and turned around, and then he took what has become known as the 'Sun Visor' photo. I like this photo because it captures the moment of a solitary figure against the horizon of the moon, along with a reflection in my helmet's visor of our home away from home, the Eagle, and of Neil snapping the photo."
During the first moonwalk mission in 1969, Neil Armstrong with a 70mm Hasselblad camera and 60mm lens captured Apollo 11 fellow astronaut whose first words after Buzz set foot on the Moon: “Beautiful view. Isn’t that something? Magnificent sight out here. Magnificent desolation.”
Neil Armstrong (1930-2012) was the first person to step onto the lunar surface on the journey and he announced humbly to the world that his victory was "one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind."
The Apollo 11 Moonwalk was about exploration, about taking risk for great rewards in science and in engineering – about setting an ambitious goal before the world. Armstrong and Aldrin spent 21 hours 31 minutes on the lunar surface at a site they named Tranquility Base before lifting off to rejoin astronaut Michael Collins in the Columbia in lunar orbit and begin their reentry to Earth...
“A flight to the moon is a long and challenging daisy chain of events," Michael Collins said of the historic mission. "The flight was a question of being under tension and worrying about … what I have to do next to keep the daisy chain in tact. Apollo 11 was serious business. We crew felt the weight of the world on our shoulders. We knew everyone in the world would be looking at us – friend or foe. We wanted to do the best we possibly could, put our best foot forward – that required a great deal of work on our part."
NASA photographs from 1966-75 captured the dusty, rocky, beautiful surfaces of the moon and the lunar experiments conducted by the astronauts. The views of the earth taken from the moon were a scientific and artistic feat, which inspired the popular imagination.
Not only was the achievement of guiding a spacecraft to a lunar destination a miracle of engineering but also the process of photographing and relaying images back to earth was unprecedented technologically.
The Webb Telescope Is the latest milestone for NASA and space exploration. The deployment of JWST in space on Dec 25, 2021 from French Guyana allows a team of international researchers, using the telescope’s revolutionary hexagonal segments, mirrors, and infrared camera, to survey and study the stars, star clusters, and dust from the beginning of time, the early stages of the universe, at the rocket’s destination Lagrange Point 2 (L2), 1.5 million kilometers from earth. On Jan 24, 2022 JWST arrived and parked itself at L2.
The value of vintage NASA photographs from the historic space missions, beginning in the 1960s, is increasing as the scientific community moves forward with innovations to explore distant galaxies, such as the development of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST).

A UAH graduate student's innovation in suppressing combustion instabilities in rocket engines has attracted the attention of Space-X.
John Bennewitz, a Von Braun Propulsion Scholar at the UAH Propulsion Research Center who is working with advisor Dr. Robert Frederick, will be a visiting lecturer at Space-X’s facility in Hawthorne, Calif., on Friday, Sept. 27, where he will tell employees of the firm that designs, manufactures and launches advanced rockets and spacecraft about his efforts in applying band-limited white noise to neutralize combustion instabilities, a major hurdle for rocket designers.
“What can happen is, when you have rough combustion with these instabilities excited at certain frequencies, the oscillations can get so large with amplitudes so great that it destroys the engine,” Bennewitz said.
Bennewitz designed a model liquid rocket engine combustor and fabricated it with the help of senior aerospace student Jake Cranford. Cranford, who was responsible for some design changes to the test stand, said getting such experience has been valuable. “As an undergraduate, I’ve been working with John and he’s been very forthcoming with the science,” Cranford said. The experience has piqued his interest in attending graduate school at UAH.
Next up for the pair is testing narrower frequency bands to identify the most effective ranges for instability suppressions.

By Jodi Helmer
Chauncey Spencer (1906-2002) was just 11 years old the first time he watched an airplane gliding through the clouds over his home on Pierce Street. He started dreaming about becoming a pilot but faced significant obstacles.
Spencer tried enrolling in flight school at the Lynchburg airport but classes were not open to Black students. Undeterred, Spencer, the son of Harlem Renaissance poet Anne Spencer, moved to Chicago where he worked in a restaurant and spent most of his wages on flying lessons. His time in the cockpit paid off.
“It was during Jim Crow when segregation in the South was in full force and African Americans weren’t permitted to fly,” explains Emily Kubota, curator for the Lynchburg Museum System. “Chauncey Spencer did quite a bit to change that perception.”
Spencer joined a group of Black aviators to form the National Airmen Association of American in 1934. As World War II raged in Europe, Black men were banned from serving as pilots. Spencer, along with fellow NAAA member Dale Lawrence Wright, flew a rented biplane visiting 10 cities from Chicago to Washington, D.C., in the hopes of convincing Congress to allow Blacks to participate in a pre-World War II Civilian Pilot Training Program.
One of their stops included a meeting with then-Senator Harry S. Truman. In 1941, inspired by the skill and bravery Spencer and Wright displayed on their flight, Truman helped establish the Tuskegee Airmen of World War II, a group of Black military pilots and airmen who fought in the Second World War.
“Even though Chauncey Spencer was one of the founders of the Tuskegee Airmen, he was too old to be a pilot but he was an obvious choice to be a leader,” Kubota says. “He advanced the acceptance that Black men could actually fly planes.”
In 1948, Spencer was awarded the Exceptional Civilian Service Award for service during World War II. It was the highest honor the Air Force could bestow upon a civilian.
Spencer was not the only Black aviator who called Lynchburg home.
Edgar Doswell Jr. (1921-2009) served as a member of the Tuskegee Airmen during WWII. Doswell graduated from the Tuskegee Institute in 1945. It was too late to see combat during the war but the Lynchburg resident, who worked as a flight instructor at Preston Glenn Airport, was part of a historic part of the war effort.
Retired NASA astronaut Leland Melvin (1964- ) also grew up in Lynchburg. He started training in 1998 after working for NASA for more than a decade, flying two missions on the Space Shuttle Atlantis and logging more than 565 hours in space.
Kubota notes that people are often surprised to learn that Lynchburg has such a rich aviation history that includes several prominent Black aviators, adding, “The contributions [of Black aviators] have been momentous, especially when you consider all of the obstacles they had to overcome.”

Kuiper’s web community will compete towards billionaire Elon Musk’s Starlink, the world’s largest satellite tv for pc operator, to supply broadband web service globally to shoppers, companies and governments. Amazon mentioned it had achieved a 100% success price inside the first 30 days of launching the prototype satellites from Florida aboard a United Launch Alliance Atlas 5 rocket.
Amazon mentioned it used the prototype satellites for brief two-way video calls, streaming a high-definition film on Prime Video and ordering items from Amazon’s web site. “We nonetheless have loads of onerous work forward of us, and scaling to mass manufacturing is not going to be simple,” mentioned Rajeev Badyal, vice chairman of expertise for Undertaking Kuiper. The US Federal Communications Fee has required Amazon to deploy half of its greater than 3,000 deliberate satellite tv for pc constellation by 2026.
On the heels of the profitable prototype exams, Amazon expects to start out constructing production-ready satellites subsequent month for a launch within the second quarter of 2024, Badyal advised Reuters. Badyal declined to say what number of satellites Amazon would launch per yr. rocket.
Badyal mentioned he expects the community to have the ability to present broadband protection in some elements of the world by late 2024, for an early beta part focused to start in early 2025.
Early companions resembling Vodafone and Verizon are set to be the primary telcos to beta take a look at the service.
Amazon final yr introduced a mass launch deal for 83 launches — the biggest business rocket buy ever — from varied rocket corporations, together with Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin, ULA and Europe’s Arianespace.
The Boeing-Lockheed three way partnership United Launch Alliance is about to launch the primary a number of batches of Kuiper satellites aboard its Atlas 5 and the corporate’s upcoming Vulcan rocket.

The 21-year-old has just returned from the Lynx Space Academy Camp in Orlando, Florida where he was selected from two New Zealand finalists to take the mission of a lifetime in 2014.
He won the opportunity after entering a competition run by Lynx men’s deodorants.
Fagg was put through a rigorous training programme that included being submitted to G-forces, physical challenges, aptitude tests and competed alongside participants from other countries.
The prize was a seat on the XCOR Aerospace’s Lynx suborbital reusable launch vehicle.
In Florida, Fagg met astronaut Buzz Aldrin, the second person to walk on the moon.
Fagg, who has a Bachelor of Engineering majoring in mechatronics, had just arrived home when contacted by the Taranaki Daily News yesterday.
Fagg has been interested in aircraft and space since he was young and told Television One News he had written off the opportunity of going to space as something that would never happen.
His mates were jealous and his mother was worried about him making the more than 100km journey.
Promoting the XCOR project, Aldrin said it was exciting to see young people being given the opportunity to travel to space.
“Space travel is the next frontier in the human experience for most of the world’s population,” said Aldrin, the pilot of Apollo 11’s lunar module that landed on the moon in 1969.
“I’ve been there, which is why it’s exciting for me that Lynx is giving the young people of today such an extraordinary opportunity to experience some of what I’ve encountered in space.”

This Tribute is to celebrate the life and achievements of Neil Armstrong. Not only the first man on the moon, but also the man who showed the world what we are capable of.
Thanks for being an all American hero and an inspiration for all.
I wish your family all the best in coping with this loss.
You have inspired generations and people all over the world.
For that, I will never forget you.
RIP Mr Armstrong, you will be missed.
As a kid growing up remember being glued to the screen during all the lunar adventures. Like all boys I wanted to be an astronaut too. Although I didn't become one, I have been inspired no end by these awesome guys. Thanks Neil, RIP.

The video of the very first moon landing of the apollo 11 mission in 1969! Neil Armstrong was the first man to set foot on the moon with his now legenday words "One small step for man, a giant leap for mankind." This is a truly amazing video and it was in 1969!!! If you think about it, you have orders of magnitude more processing power in your mobile phone than they did in the whole space craft!! Incredible!
It has been said that ten thousand years from now, only one name will still be remembered - that of Neil Armstrong. But in the four decades since he first set foot on the moon, Armstrong has become increasingly reclusive.
Andrew Smith, author of the best-selling book Moondust, journeys across America to try and discover the real Neil Armstrong. He tracks down the people who knew Armstrong, from his closest childhood friend to fellow astronauts and Houston technicians, and even the barber who sold his hair,

In 1957, he was selected for the U.S. Air Force's Man In Space Soonest program. In November 1960 Armstrong was chosen as part of the pilot consultant group for the X-20 Dyna-Soar, a military space plane.
He flew the North American X-15 on November 30, 1960, to a top altitude of 48,840 ft (14.9 km) and a top speed of Mach 1.75 (1,150 mph or 1,810 km/h).

|Atomic oxygen erosion|
Space Shuttle flights (flights 5 and 8) have demonstrated that interactions between spacecraft surfaces and atomic oxygen, the major component of the low Earth orbit environment, can produce significant changes in mass and surface properties for many materials through erosion and oxidation. The orbiting spacecraft motion through the atmospheric atomic oxygen can generate a flux to the spacecraft surfaces with significant energy of about 5 eV.
The changes in surface properties are directly related to the atomic oxygen fluence or total integrated flux incident on material surfaces. This fluence in turn is dependent on many parameters such as attitude of the surface relative to the orbital velocity vector, altitude, solar activity, and life span of the spacecraft.
Assessment of the problem involves three areas:
Numerous events can occur when atomic oxygen impacts a surface [Banks and Rutledge, 1988]. The atomic oxygen may elastically scatter from the surface in a specular manner, it may energy and momentum accommodate to the surface and then be ejected in a diffuse manner, it may attach to the surface and react with other arriving species to form excited nitrogen oxide, which de-excites to cause the glow phenomenon, or the atomic oxygen may chemically react with the surface. Space tests indicate that the probability of chemical reaction of atomic oxygen with carbon is only 13%, and with silver, greater than 62% [Banks et al., 1988; Gregory, 1986]. In the case of carbon, the unreacted atomic oxygen is predominantly ejected in a diffuse or near cosine distribution with an ejection peak shifted slightly in the specular direction. The actual probability of reaction of atomic oxygen with silver may be quite high for clean silver surfaces. However, silver oxide formation may contribute to shielding of the underlying silver or may serve as a catalytic surface for reassociation of the atomic oxygen. Possible atomic oxygen reactions with polymers in low Earth orbit include hydrogen abstraction, oxygen addition to form excited radicals followed by hydrogen elimination, oxygen insertion into the C-H bonds, and replacement by formation of alkoxy radicals.
Quantification of the susceptibility of materials to oxidation from atomic oxygen interaction is made possible by the fact that most oxidation products are volatile, and measurable surface recession occurs. In cases where oxidation products remain adherent, inhibition of further oxidation usually occurs. From a spacecraft designer's perspective, quantification of atomic oxygen interaction in terms of erosion yield defined as recession per fluence (cm3 atom-1) is most useful for determining mission suitability. Banks and Rutledge present a compilation table of erosion yields of materials tested in low Earth orbit. On a microscopic level, spacial variations in erosion yield tend to give rise to a dense pillar of conelike surface morphology if the reaction products are volatile species, as in the case of organic polymers and carbon. This surface morphology is much more pronounced for ram exposed surfaces as opposed to sweeping atomic oxygen incidence. These microscopic surface features, typically ranging in size from 0.1 to several microns, give rise to changes in optical properties, the most significant of which is a dramatic increase in the diffuse reflectance with an accompanying loss in specular reflectance [Banks et al., 1988].
Space tests have shed some light on the degree to which erosion yield is dependent upon various environmental factors. The effect of atomic oxygen impact angle for Kapton and Mylar in space indicates that the rate of material recession depends on the impact angle with respect to the surface normal raised to the 1.5 power as opposed to the 1.0 power as on might expect [Visentine et al., 1985]. The effect of material temperature has been shown to influence the erosion yield of graphite, and activation energies have been predicted [Gregory, 1986]. However, the range of temperatures used for the evaluation of Kaption, Mylar, and Tedlar has been too small to ascertain any significant dependence of erosion yield upon material temperature. Space tests have not identified any significant influence of solar radiation, charged species, or polymer thickness on erosion yield [Banks et al., 1988]. Erosion yield of Kapton H due to space exposure indicates no significant dependence upon flux or fluence based on the limited information available from STS flights 3, 4, 5, and 8 [Banks et al., 1988]. Variations in the erosion yield of Kapton as a function of oxygen ion or atom energy are not available from space testing to date because the low Earth orbital configurations produce energies only in the 4-5 eV range. However, the dependence of erosion yield on impact energy is of utmost importance for the designers of ground simulation systems. An erosion yield dependence proportional to the 0.68 power of the oxygen atom or ion energy has been identified for Kapton H by means of a compilation of both in-space and ground simulation tests over a wide range of energies [Ferguson, 1984].
To facilitate accurate prediction of materials performance in low Earth orbit, one must be able either to accurately simulate the low Earth orbital environmental conditions or at least be able to quantifiably extrapolate how the performance of materials under simulated conditions relates to that which would occur in space. Identification of significant factors and the dependency of erosion yield upon these factors will clarify the suitability of various atomic oxygen simulation techniques for prediction of the long term performance of spacecraft materials in low Earth orbit. Based on the evaluation of materials tested in space, there appear to be three classes materials:
The ESABASE implementation of ATOMOX considers shadowing and scattering by other spacecraft surfaces and is capable of analysing atomic oxygen effects on a spinning satellite. These capabilities use a full geometric analysis of the satellite configuration, which is outside the scope of SPENVIS. Instead, SPENVIS uses the non-geometrical version of ATOMOX for a preliminary assessment.
The following operations have to be executed by the analysis tool at each orbital point:
The fluence is defined as the integration over time of the flux crossing a surface. The flux on a totally exposed surface is the product of the particle number density and the average velocity of the particle.
The thermal velocity is given by:
The aerodynamic velocity is the difference between the wind velocity vector
vw and the spacecraft velocity vector vs in
an inertial frame of reference:
|Figure 1. Reference frame for the velocity of impacting particles|
If the inward surface normal defines the direction of the x axis (see
Fig. 1), one has to calculate the average velocity component
vx of particles having vx>0:

However, an exclusive plane is just one of one of the most expensive devices to guarantee, 2nd just to space shuttles and specific long-distance satellites. Costs are a function of many different elements, consisting of the insured’s flying experience, flight document, design and use the airplane. It is essential to obtain quotes from numerous companies and aviation insurance policy professionals to guarantee you’re getting the very best value for your money.
The sort of airplane insurance you’ll require differs by state and country, with some policies needing you to have particular degrees of public liability protection in order to comply with regional policies. Some policies likewise include ground danger hull insurance policy, which shields the aircraft from occurrences that happen while it’s on the ground and not moving. Various other optional coverages might consist of traveler responsibility insurance coverage, which covers the price of injured travelers, and a consolidated single limitation (CSI) policy that incorporates public and guest liability right into one detailed insurance claim limit.
A good way to lower your aircraft insurance policy rates is by having a clean trip document. Insurer view skilled pilots as less of a danger and will typically use a much more competitive price on airplane insurance. It deserves it to purchase additional pilot training, also, as the more abilities and accreditations you have, the far better your prices will be.
Various other means to decrease your Private Aircraft Insurance policy rates might include saving your airplane in a garage, which helps with prices due to the fact that the aircraft is much less likely to be damaged or swiped. You can likewise install safety devices on your aircraft to discourage burglars and mischief-makers, which will additionally decrease your airplane insurance coverage rates. Additionally, asking for that charter business list you as an additional insured on their liability policies can assist with rates because it restricts the amount of repayments the charter business will look for from liable parties like airplane owners after a payment.
Finally, if you’re planning on leasing your aircraft out for flight time, take into consideration getting non-owned airplane insurance. This policy will certainly cover the aircraft in case of damages or loss, but is usually just provided for a collection amount of time and for trips under a certain number of hours.
It’s likewise vital to be straightforward with the insurance firm concerning your airplane. It’s tempting to blow up the worth of your aircraft to reduce costs, however this can backfire if you experience considerable damages that the insurance provider can’t spend for. Make certain to work with an air travel insurance coverage agent who comprehends the market and can examine your specific demands and suggest the best prepare for you. | aerospace |

Самолётик целиком металлический! Но вес пилота ограничен.
During the late 1940s, American aviation company Beecraft designed the then smallest airplane in the world. It was made entirely of metal, just like the modern planes of the day, but had a wingspan of just 5.49 meters (18ft).
Due to the tiny dimensions of this aircraft, the pilot, quite extraordinarily, had to lie down in a prone position on top of the fuselage! Talk about a wild ride. The airplane had a 30-hp piston engine and weighed just 95kg. Despite this, it could still carry 90kg in the form of its pilot. (flitetest.com) | aerospace |

I was probably 4 years old when my dad picked me up and placed me carefully inside Henry Mazer’s Piper Super Cruiser. The rush of wind over my face from the prop wash through airplanes open door brought some welcome relief. The breeze also brought the aroma of exhaust combined with the scent of “Av-gas” which was, at least from my point of view at the time, somewhat pleasant. After that first flight with Henry, there has always been a love of aviation in my life. So it’s not surprising that during our time exploring, I have tried to incorporate that love affair into our adventure whenever practical. My latest aviation find was a small squadron of the Commemorative Air Force, Highland Lake Squadron in Burnet Texas. The Commemorative Air Force is an organization whose mission is to preserve wartime aviation artifacts both flying and non-flying. There are several squadrons throughout the United States.
(Note-As always, you can click on various links to learn more.)
The Highland Lake Squadron, part of the Commemorative Air Force
The Highland Lake Squadron was located near our Inks Lake State Park base camp, an easy thirty minute drive through some gorgeous countryside. The museum is only open a few days a week so we were lucky that they were open while we were in the area. When we drove into the parking lot, a few static displays outside were being repainted. I laughed when I saw that two of them were the same models that I trained on (aircraft maintenance, Sheppard Air Force Base, Wichita Falls Texas), the T-37 and the T-38. We entered the side door of an aircraft hanger and into a room where we paid a very small entrance fee. The room also had several artifacts that we could explore including an entire gun turret taken directly from the nose of a WW II B-24 bomber.
Since it was early and not too crowded, I had the pleasure of having one of the volunteers accompany me around all the artifacts and later into the hanger where a few aircraft awaited our visit. He answered several questions and told a few stories along the tour. So many things to look at! Uniforms, instruments, photos and so much more. I thought about how lucky for local schools to be able (hopefully) incorporate this priceless collection of history into their history curriculum. Some of the more famous bombsights (Sperry and Nordon) that were so instrumental during WW II were there and even a bombsight from a German bomber of which only two exist in the world.

Once our tour of the inside museum was finished, we ventured out into the hanger to look at some of the larger pieces. Unfortunately, the squadron had experienced an accident with one of their aircraft a few weeks earlier. A C-47 crashed during take-off and went up in flames at the end of the runway. Fortunately, no one was seriously hurt. (To see a YouTube Video of the crash, Click Here.)
The Iconic Pratt and Whitney R-2800
All 13 passengers got out safely, but the aircraft was a total loss. The only thing that survived was the tail section which the squadron will re-paint, and hang inside the hanger. The squadron has a few other aircraft that usually are flyable. This day, however, one aircraft was at another location, and the other two flying aircraft were grounded for maintenance. It was a great visit made even greater by the folks that took such pride in preserving these priceless and historic artifacts.
In Other News...
We are refining plans for our departure on Tuesday, heading toward Las Cruces and possibly staying on some BLM land just north of town. We'll hopefully visit the White Sands Missile Museum before heading toward Hatch, NM, on Wednesday or Thursday. We look forward to cooler temperatures and less wind as we make our way out of New Mexico.

A Rare Signed Leather Bound Volume for your Space History Library
"You must read Leap of Faith. Gordon Cooper is a true American hero from a stock in short supply today." -- --Art Bell
Easton Press. Norwalk, CT. 2000. Gordon Cooper "Leap of Faith: An Astronaut's Journey Into the Unknown" Signed Limited Edition. A luxurious leather bound collectible. Personally signed by Gordon Cooper on a special title page. COA by the publisher.
About the book
Gordon Cooper was one of the original Mercury Seven astronauts, a select group of the nation's top military test pilots who braved the frontiers of space in the days when strapping yourself to a rocket meant you would be either a hundred miles up or six feet under. Today he is undeniably a part of our nation's history as one of the four surviving Mercury Seven space pioneers. In Leap of Faith, Cooper not only reveals compellingly what went on behind the scenes of the early U.S. space program, but he also takes dead aim at the next millennium of space travel with his strong views on the existence of extraterrestrial intelligence--and even the distinct possibility that we have already had contact.
During his distinguished military flying career, Cooper was one of the best of the best at Edwards Air Force Base, where the setting of world records for speed, endurance, and altitude was an everyday occurrence. Even before joining this nation's newly formed manned space program, he understood the dangerous nature of new technologies: hanging it over the edge and pushing the envelope, then hauling it back in and doing it again tomorrow.
"Gordo" Cooper learned to fly with his father at age eight in his hometown of Shawnee, Oklahoma, and soloed by the time he was twelve. As an impressionable boy, he met overnight visitors to the Cooper household, including famous aviators like Amelia Earhart and Wiley Post, which only heightened his desire to take to the skies.
Ride with Cooper through his adventurous life in the cockpits of planes and spacecraft alike--he was the last American to go into space alone, exactly thirty-five years ago. He flew in Mercury and Gemini, and served as head of flight crew operations for both Apollo and Skylab, America's first orbiting space station. He was also backup command pilot for Apollo X and directed design input changes for the space shuttle program. He was buddies with Gus Grissom, who died in the tragic Apollo I fire at Cape Canaveral, and was close to Wernher von Braun, the German rocket scientist who was responsible for the United States beating Russia into space, and then to the Moon. Through it all, Cooper, a hero who shuns the label, speaks candidly of his defeats as well as his accomplishments. His life is a tapestry of space travel in the twentieth century.
And beyond. From a source as credible as Gordo Cooper come these claims: He innocently took revealing pictures of the mysterious Area 51 during his Gemini mission and ended up in the White House speaking about it to the president of the United States; he and other military pilots have chased unidentified aircraft in their Jets; and footage of UFOs taken by his film crew was confiscated by the government, all part of the U.S. military's long-time UFO cover-up.
Buckle yourself in and prepare for a wild ride; Leap of Faith takes you places you have never been before---and with Cooper's firm hand at the controls.
About the Author
Leroy Gordon "Gordo" Cooper Jr. (March 6, 1927 – October 4, 2004) was an American aerospace engineer, test pilot, United States Air Force pilot, and the youngest of the seven original astronauts in Project Mercury, the first human space program of the United States. Cooper learned to fly as a child, and after service in the United States Marine Corps during World War II, he was commissioned into the United States Air Force in 1949. After service as a fighter pilot, he qualified as a test pilot in 1956, and was selected as an astronaut in 1959.
In 1963 Cooper piloted the longest and last Mercury spaceflight, Mercury-Atlas 9. During that 34-hour mission he became the first American to spend an entire day in space, the first to sleep in space, and the last American launched on an entirely solo orbital mission. Despite a series of severe equipment failures, he managed to successfully complete the mission under manual control, guiding his spacecraft, which he named Faith 7, to a splashdown just 4 miles (6.4 km) ahead of the recovery ship. Cooper became the first astronaut to make a second orbital flight when he flew as Command Pilot of Gemini 5 in 1965. Along with Pilot Pete Conrad, he set a new space endurance record by traveling 3,312,993 miles (5,331,745 km) in 190 hours and 56 minutes—just short of eight days—showing that astronauts could survive in space for the length of time necessary to go from the Earth to the Moon and back.
Cooper liked to race cars and boats, and entered the $28,000 Salton City 500 miles (800 km) boat race, and the Southwest Championship Drag Boat races in 1965, and the 1967 Orange Bowl Regatta with fire fighter Red Adair. In 1968, he entered the 24 Hours of Daytona, but NASA management ordered him to withdraw due to the dangers involved. After serving as backup commander of the Apollo 10 mission, he was superseded by Alan Shepard, and retired from NASA and the Air Force with the rank of colonel in 1971.

Since then, there have been numerous attempts at building and flying aircraft. At the same time, there have been engineers who had the dream of a flying car. A flying car can be driven on ordinary roads just like other motor vehicles and can also transform into an aircraft that can sustain flight. Flying cars in India have been spearheaded by a company called Vinata Aeromobility in 2021 with a flying car that is no larger than a Maruti Ciaz.
Indian company unveils the first flying cars in India
The latest in flying car news in India is about a company called Vinata Aeromobility, which is developing a flying car that can accommodate 2 passengers and is expected to be available by 2023. The Chennai based start-up unveiled the flying car prototype at an aero exhibition in London.
The flying car features upright doors and a huge digital touchscreen that is used for navigation and flight controls.
It is a hybrid flying car that is classified as a VTOL (Vertical Take-Off and Landing). Engine thrust is provided by a co-axial quadrotor.
The flying car weighs in at 1100 kg and will use bio-fuel + electricity for sustainable usage. The top airspeed is 120 km/h at an altitude of 3000 feet. The flying vehicle can remain airborne for up to 60 minutes. Vinata Aeromobility expects this flying car to become a reality by 2023 for transporting passengers, cargo and for medical emergency services.
Flying cars advantages
The main potential of flying cars is their ability to drive on road and fly in the air. A vehicle that has 2 modes of transport can be very beneficial to the driver and the motoring/aerospace world in general.
Here are some of the pros of flying cars of the future.
Less traffic pollution
Cities are congested with bumper-to-bumper traffic, full of vehicles that are spewing out exhaust fumes that contain high amounts of carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, nitrous oxides, hydrocarbons, sulphur dioxide, and tiny particles of carbon soot that linger in the air and lead to a host of health problems.
Roads have been built in the previous decades and are not capable of handling the large number of vehicles that are plying today. Other than a small number of electric vehicles that are non-polluting, most cars burn fossil fuels and produce tons of pollution in our environment.
Electric vehicles and flying cars have the potential to reduce this pollution and have a positive effect on the environment. With every flying car, you will be taking a road car off the grid, thereby saving on pollution for the lifetime of that vehicle.
Also read What is an emission control system
Flying cars produce less pollution than road cars
Studies have shown that electric flying cars produce 52% less greenhouse gas emissions than regular petrol/diesel-powered cars. This is assuming a 100 km journey with 4 passengers.
Since flying cars of the future will be piloted by certified pilots, they are more likely to be occupied by passengers sharing lifts rather than a regular road-going car that often only has the driver in the car.
Flying cars travel shorter distances and have better fuel economy
Flying cars are more efficient and have lower emissions. A flight takes the shortest distance between two points which equates to less fuel being used and a shorter journey. A road trip will take lots of twists and turns, stop at traffic lights and get through traffic which will end up consuming more fuel and a long journey time.
More road space for motorists and pedestrians
With more and more flying cars taking to the skies, there will be more road space for motorists, pedestrians and cyclists.
With a large space available, roads can be turned into bicycle lanes and walking paths for pedestrians. Cities will be transformed into clean and green environments that foster healthy living.

Minimum infrastructure for ground vehicles
Today’s cities are built around a network of roads and are designed to allow free flow of traffic with highways, bridges, flyovers and underpasses.
There are also large road networks that connect two different cities which often is built through a natural reserve and require the cutting down of trees or the clearing of the natural landscape. These connecting roads destroy wildlife habitats and disrupt nature.
Flying cars require infrastructure just for taking off and landing and will not require further ground infrastructure.
For well over a century, we have imagined a future where flying cars would be the primary mode of transport. We have seen numerous concepts from manufacturers and fully functioning prototypes that have taken to the skies.
Aircraft technology is available today and can power a flying car, but these vehicles are not yet ready for mass production.
Road cars and aircraft have an opposite set of requirements. While aircraft are lightweight, narrow and have large wings to generate lift, road cars are heavy and wide and are equipped with wheels and other components that will add to drag force in the air.
A flying car will have to be built with a delicate balance between the two requirements. The closest we have got to a viable flying car is from the Slovakian company AeroMobil which took 30 years to make it from the drawing board to reality.
We hope you found this article on flying cars interesting. You might also want to have a look at some of our other articles on top automatic bikes in India and an encyclopaedia about Formula 1 engine technology.
Frequently Asked Question
Q1. Are flying cars real?
Ans. Flying cars are real and will soon be part of our everyday reality. One such flying car is the AirCar which has been certified for flight and has flown for 70 hours. It has folding wings and can take off just like any other light aircraft. It is an electric vehicle that looks similar to other road-going cars, but when it unfolds its wings, it works just like an aeroplane. It has a rear-mounted propeller that provides the necessary thrust to maintain flight in the air.
The AirCar can fly at 186 mph and at an altitude of 3200 feet. It is equally capable of driving down roads and taking to the skies. The car is manufactured by a company called Klein Vision and is powered by a BMW engine, which seems fitting because BMW used to make aeroplane engines in the past. In fact, the BMW logo is actually a spinning propeller.
The AirCar is said to have 1,000 km of range using its 140 bhp, 1.6-litre, four-cylinder BMW engine with a propeller and a parachute. This car is considered the future of transportation for city commuting and inter-city travel that alleviates the struggle of being stuck in congested traffic.
Q2. Who invented flying cars?
Ans. The Curtiss Autoplane from 1917 is considered the first flying car. The Autoplane was made from aluminium and was equipped with three wings spanning 40 feet. The car’s engine was used to drive a propeller fixed at the rear of the car. It could not stay in the air for long, but it is considered the first of its kind.
In the modern age, the first true flying car is the AeroMobil. It has a set of sleek wings, and an aerodynamic exterior or fuselage, and the interior is ultra-luxurious and filled with gadgets. It can be considered the flying car of the future.
The AeroMobile is a unique flying car that has a research and development team collaborating with Mercedes Benz F-1, Ferrari F-1, McLaren, Aston Martin and BMW. These companies provide input for the road part of the car. For all the aerospace technology, AeroMobile has teamed up with the likes of Lockheed Martin, Airbus, Rolls Royce and Diamond Aircraft.
The AeroMobile can switch from a road-going car to a flying car in less than three minutes. It is destined to be the forerunner and archetype of flying cars in the future.
Q3. When will flying cars be invented?
Ans. At present, aerospace companies like Boeing and Airbus are working on flying car models that will reshape the way we look at transport. Various official reports state that we should be witnessing the launch of around 20 flying car models in the years 2022 and 2023. All across the globe, there are several companies engaged in the concept of flying cars or VTOL (Vertical Take-off and Landing) vehicles and such prototypes built like large drones. The companies are hopeful of having fully functional flying cars by the year 2030.
Q4. When flying cars will be available?
Ans. Flying cars have been part of movie scripts right from the 1970s. They imagined flying cars to be a reality in the 21st Century but we are yet to see flying cars at our local dealerships. However, there are various companies that are involved in the conceptualisation and construction of flying cars. A company in Slovakia called Klein Vision is working on the AirCar which is well on its way to making it into production. We should see flying cars available to the public as early as 2023.
Q5. How flying cars work?
Ans. Like an aircraft, the flying car will have a fixed wing, propeller or engine that provides thrust. Flying cars may also be equipped with a helicopter rotor for VTOL capability. Power has traditionally been provided by an internal combustion engine burning fossil fuels, but electric propulsion is undergoing rapid development in the field of flying cars.
Q6. How many flying cars are in the world?
Ans. As of 2022, there are about 10 flying car companies that are in the process of building flying cars. Some of them include the PAL-V Liberty, AeroMobil 3.0, Terrafugia Transition, Blackfly, Moller Skycar, CarPlane, Samsung Switchblade and Ehang 184. There are many more concepts of flying cars that are yet to be put into production.
Q7. Will flying cars ever be a thing?
Ans. Flying cars should be commercially available by 2024, however regulations for managing flying cars and air traffic will be a concern for authorities. It is definitely a viable concept and many flying cars have been successfully tested. Road cars and aircraft are built very differently, so a flying car will have to be a compromise between the two.
Q8. When are flying cars coming out?
Ans. Flying cars are coming out sooner than we expected. Flying cars technology has advanced quite a bit in the past few years. A few flying cars have been tested and could be available to the public by 2023 -2024.
Q9. Will flying cars be possible?
Ans. The fact that flying cars will have to use a runway to take off and land will reduce their appeal and restrict their use to areas that have an airport. Also, becoming a private pilot takes months and is costly, so the steps involved in developing, testing and implementing such a program will take years.
Q10. Why flying cars are a bad idea?
Ans. Flying cars have certain hurdles they must overcome such as lack of infrastructure, advanced technology and air traffic regulations. Flying cars need a place to land so they most likely will have to use an airport as a landing strip, due to crowded cities.
Q11. Are flying cars legal?
Ans. Flying cars are real and could be the new way we commute, work and live in the future. Advances in technology such as propulsion methods, aerodynamics, electronics and batteries can directly be applied to future flying cars.
Q12. Will flying cars ever exist?
Ans. Uber (the ride-sharing company) has an aerial flying car called the Uber Elevate which has been acquired by Bell Nexus and Joby Aviation. They have a concept that uses an all-electric powertrain, a VTOL air taxi that is set to debut in 2023. It is very likely that flying cars will exist in the future.
Q13. How much will flying cars cost?
Ans. The starting price for the PAL-V Liberty is Rs.2.6 Crore. Other flying cars will be in this price range which is keeping them out of the hands of the common man right now.
Q14. 6 flying cars that will change the world?
Ans. The future of flying cars will most likely be realized with vehicles such as the AeroMobil 3.0, PAL-V Flying Car, Maverick Flying Car, The Transition, AeroMobil 4.0 and the Terrafugia TF-X. | aerospace |

Do you have a “bucket list” of things you’d like to do before entering the Great Beyond? I know I do, which might be silly considering I’m 22-years-old, but it sure is exciting when you are able to cross off one of the activities.
Flying a plane was one of those things that I actually decided to erase a couple of months ago because I thought it was absurd to think I would ever have the chance to do it. Then I met Shaun Grantham, General Manager and Certified Flight Instructor at Coastal Aviation at the Charleston Executive Airport on Johns Island.
Coastal Aviation is about more than just flight instruction; they also offer aircraft brokering, charter flights, aircraft rental, scenic photo flights and local tour flights. Before joining Coastal Aviation, Grantham worked in Hawaii, taking visitors up and over erupting volcanoes.
After a short tour of their two-story office complete with an instruction room and lounge, Grantham led me out to the runway. We were set to fly in the 2002 Cessna 172, a small personal craft which holds four passengers and has an amazing 360 degree view. Once inside and buckled, he taught me everything I needed to know for what was about to come next: take-off.
Pushing in the throttle and watching our elevation climb to one thousand feet was definitely an adrenaline rush, but once I took a glance out of the window, it was pure bliss. We flew over Kiawah Island, Sullivan’s Island, Folly Beach and the open ocean, with the plane flying low enough that we could spot common landmarks such as the Ravenel Bridge from an entirely new and spectacular angle.
Along with the amazing views, the sun was shining and there was little turbulence. Being in a smaller plane certainly gives “up close and personal” a whole new meaning when it comes to sightseeing.
After doing my best to take in all of the beautiful surroundings, it was time to return to the runway. We had to let the other planes know our course of action, so Grantham told me to warn them over the radio. Landing was equally as smooth as flying, even with my amateur skills, thanks to Grantham’s professional assistance.
Not only was I able to witness a bird’s eye view of all of Charleston on this flight, but I was also able to learn a new skill!

Its mission is to promote the highest common standards of safety and environmental protection in civil aviation.
The Agency’s mandate is twofold. It shall provide technical expertise to the European Commission by assisting in the drafting of rules for aviation safety in various areas and providing technical input to the conclusion of the relevant international agreements.
In addition, the Agency has been given the power to carry out certain executive tasks related to aviation safety, such as the certification of aeronautical products and organisations involved in their design, production and maintenance.
These certification activities help to ensure compliance with airworthiness and environmental protection standards.
The European Aviation Safety Agency certifies products from civil aviation altogether, including general and business aviation. It is important to note that its remit does not cover aviation security (prevention of illegal actions against civil aviation like hijacking, for instance). This comes under the remit of the Community law applied by the Member States.
The Community legislator has already decided that, in the longer term, the Agency's competencies should be progressively enlarged to all other areas of civil aviation safety, notably to air operations and flight crew licensing. A first extension of the Agency’s scope to air operations, flight crew licensing and the authorisation of third-country operators was laid down by Regulation (EC) No 216/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 February 2008.
The European Aviation Safety Agency was established by Council Regulation (EC) No 1592/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 July 2002 (OJ L 240, 7.9.2002, repealed by Regulation (EC) No 216/2008)). | aerospace |

Many of the photos have been seen before in some form or another, but this was the first time that the unprocessed, high-resolution version of NASA’s most iconic lunar mission photography had been presented in one exhaustive collection.
In their raw state, the photos evoke a whimsical sense of nostalgia — their distinct green tinge serves as a stark reminder of just how far we’ve come in the past half-century.
Although the photos come from a bygone era, the quest to explore space is far from over. Nebraska-based photographer Jeremy Dreier has given the photos some digital tender love and care, and his infusion of twenty-first century life takes the photos to another level: | aerospace |

The world’s first full-scale test to see whether the spacecraft can protect the Earth from a dangerous asteroid or comet will take place in a few weeks with NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test, or DART.
Yes, this does sound like a scene from the Hollywood science fiction movie Don’t Look Up.
The likes of Leo Dicaprio or J-Law aren’t here to try to help us this time, though. Instead, NASA will examine the effects of the 525-foot-wide asteroid known as “Dimorphos” on DART using one of the most potent telescopes.
Although the asteroid won’t be hitting Earth anytime soon (hopefully), experts believe that it would inflict serious harm if it did.
“We don’t want to be in a scenario where an asteroid is heading toward Earth and then have to be testing this kind of technology,” NASA’s planetary defence officer Lindley Johnson reportedly remarked to USA TODAY.
Before we ever find ourselves in a position like that, he continued, “We want to know about both how the spacecraft operates and what the asteroid’s reaction to the hit will be.”
In a statement, co-leader of the July observation campaign and astronomer at Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, Arizona, Nick Moskovitz said that this is the ideal time to carry out the test to save the worst from happening.
Before doing anything to the asteroid system, he stated, “the before-and-after aspect of this experiment demands exquisite knowledge of the asteroid system.”
We want to be certain that any change we observe is totally attributable to what DART did rather than saying, “Oh, here’s something we hadn’t thought about or phenomenon we hadn’t considered,” at the last minute.
Additionally, according to USA TODAY, DART is not meant to completely destroy “Dimorphos” but rather to give it a small “nudge” that could change its orbit around Didymos by around 1%.
Although it might seem insignificant, the outcomes, according to DART’s main coordinator Nancy Chabot, could save humanity.
The asteroid and Earth would no longer be on a collision trajectory, she explained, if you gave it a modest push that added up to a significant alteration in its future position.

on May 1, 2019. The new rooftop site includes a 45’ x 45’ pad exclusively for Nightingale and an adjacent 65’ x 65’ pad for other air ambulances in the region and U.S. Coast Guard and U.S. Navy helicopters, which called at the hospital 21 times in 2018.
“It’s safer for us and the public to take off and land from the roof,” says Denise Baylous, program manager and flight nurse. “The ground pad is flanked by the hospital and a medical office building which creates a swirling effect that buffets the helicopter on windy days.”

• Category: NewsThe Greek Air Force has decided to pull up a German Nazi aircraft hat lies in the bottom of the sea closde to Maleme, Chania. Yesterday morning, an expert group arrived in Chania to explore the submerged aircraft, which lies there since the Second World War. The aircraft is a Messerschmitt 109, one of the most powerful aircraft types of the Germans that time. It is one of the 211 German planes that were lost during the Fight of Crete. After 5 years of efforts, the Association "Friends of the Sea Bed" managed to persuade the Air Force Authorities to pull the aircraft up to the earth. The impressive thing is that the engine collars are still elastic, while some parts of the wing are still brazing. When the aircraft will be pulled up, it will be used as an exhibit in the Air Force Museum that will be created in Maleme.

THE AIRCRAFT GRAVE YARD
In 1947 a scrap metal merchant from Palmerston North called Tom Larsen (Pic 1) brought hundreds of American planes which had been used to fight the Japanese in the Pacific Islands. He parked them out at Rukuhia, a place commonly known as the Graveyard (Pic 2). The aircraft were to be dismantled, the aluminium boiled down for ingots (Pic 4). The ingots were used to make pots, pans and kettles. In those days no one else made aluminium. Hydraulic parts were sold to farmers to make farm machinery, Tom even started a shop in Greenwood Street in town and sold all the nuts and bolts etc. there.
It was easy to get jobs in those days so a young lad called Jack Bailey walked in one day and asked if he could work dismantling these planes (Pics 7&8). Tom hired Jack and allowed him to park his old caravan on site. There were about six blokes altogether dismantling hundreds and hundreds of planes. Corsairs, Kittyhawks, Ventuaras, Grumman Avengers, all sorts. All the easy bits such as the tail fins, cowlings (the part that covered the engine), engines, and wings came off first. (Pic 8) Some planes still had petrol in them. When the sparks from the welder hit the petrol, the planes would catch on fire. (see the bomber alight in Pics 5 & 6).
A trolley that looked like something out of a Mad Max movie, was made out of aeroplane parts (Pic 7) to cart the aircraft parts to the melting down shed. Note the aircraft seat at the front used for a drivers seat (or having a rest!). The big round radial engines in photo 3 were dropped off for melting. Quite often the planes would have bullet holes in them and the pilots had painted the number of bombs they dropped on the outside of their doors together with their favourite film star, Mae West.
Corsairs were specifically designed for aircraft carriers. They had a massive hook underneath them. When they landed on the aircraft carrier the hook would catch on a steel wire which would slow the plane down to a halt and stop it from going into the sea. The planes were fitted with a bigger propeller than normal planes which made them faster than other comparable aircraft. The drop down wings could also fold upwards for storage.
The Grummans were torpedo bombers. These had straight wings.
Jack describes the Kittyhawks as being all engine. They had to take out these big thick steel plates behind the drivers seats.
It took 12 years to dismantle them all. | aerospace |

In October 2012, a routine refueling mission to the International Space Station had profound impacts on the future of spaceflight.
It was SpaceX’s first contracted refueling mission with NASA and the first time a private company has docked at the ISS. This step turned out to be a turning point for the flourishing commercial space flight industry, as billions of dollars were invested and more than 500 startups sprang up in the years that followed.

Today, private spaceflight companies are making their own way to the stars, building their own vehicles, systems and infrastructure to do so. This is a break from the space exploration model of the past, in which NASA hired companies to design and build spacecraft and technology that the United States then owned and operated. Although NASA remains the biggest player in space exploration – in July, NASA awarded SpaceX a $ 2.9 billion contract to create a lunar lander – private companies that go their own way have changed the space exploration landscape.
This disruption caused by companies like SpaceX, Blue Origin, and Virgin Galactic has created new opportunities for collaboration – opportunities that Arizona State University’s Space Technology and Science Initiative (NewSpace) was created to find.
Start with a moon stroke
Created in 2013 to forge partnerships between industry and academia to meet the ever-changing needs of NASA, ASU NewSpace has proven this strategy with one of its first projects: the Lunar Polar Hydrogen Mapper.
A small satellite the size of a shoebox, the Lunar Polar Hydrogen Mapper, or LunaH-Map, is a NASA mission led by ASU School of Earth and Space Exploration Professor Craig hardgrove. A former postdoctoral fellow at ASU NewSpace, Hardgrove secured funding for LunaH-Map by collaborating with commercial space entrepreneurs, including several Arizona-based companies such as AZ Space Technologies, KinetX Inc. and Qwaltec. The LunaH-Map mission is expected to launch aboard NASA’s SLS Artemis 1 rocket in 2022 and begin its mission of mapping water ice on the moon’s south pole.
“This was our first and biggest award, and it really demonstrated that this model works – academic researchers and entrepreneurial space companies can work in tandem to win great prizes,” says Jim bell, director of ASU NewSpace and planetologist at the School of Earth and Space Exploration.
Since LunaH-Map, a series of awards obtained with the support of ASU NewSpace reflect the initiative’s long-term efforts to connect researchers with opportunities that forge relationships with private industry.
“These awards sample a range of opportunities that I think are representative of what we’re trying to help do across all ASU campuses,” says Bell, “of an early career researcher who is very interested in getting involved in the space world but don’t have a lot of experience with NASA to those who have a lot of experience but just need to make the right connections.
A smaller, better and lighter sensor
Sean bryan, Associate Research Professor at the School of Earth and Space Exploration, has partnered with Tucson-based World View Enterprises to secure a $ 450,000 prize on NASA Flight Opportunities . Using World View’s high-altitude Stratollite balloon, Bryan will test his CubeSounder sensor, a millimeter-wave atmospheric water imaging sensor.
CubeSounder is based on a proven decades-old detection technique for imaging water vapor for meteorology, but updates it to use a lighter, more energy-efficient detection system. Forgoing the heavier, more power-hungry components that are typically used to separate radio frequencies, Bryan instead built this capability into the sensor itself.
“We have developed a structure with resonant cavities that respond to every frequency we want to measure,” says Bryan. “Unlike existing sensors, we don’t need an active mixer or local oscillator source, which allows our sensor to operate with much less power. “
If successful, Bryan hopes to see CubeSounder technology implemented on a continental or global scale, or perhaps on a CubeSat program like LunaH-Map.
While Bryan’s background in radio astronomy prepared him well for working with NASA, it was ASU NewSpace’s focus on networking that helped him secure the Flight Opportunities Award. Bryan said everything clicked as he attended a conference in early 2020 with program manager ASU NewSpace Scott smas. There, Bryan had the opportunity to speak with representatives from NASA and World View, and he realized that a proposal from the ASU and World View team had a lot of potential.
“So when we wrote the proposal, it was against the backdrop of this moment that ASU NewSpace created,” Bryan said.
Arizona’s business landscape provides a great launching pad for NewSpace to continue this type of collaboration.
When people think of the hubs of the space industry, they can imagine rockets built in California or lifted off from Cape Canaveral, Florida. But companies that make transistors and circuit boards are just as important to creating space technologies as those that build rockets, Bell says.
“When we launched ASU NewSpace, I was really surprised to learn how many specialist companies in Arizona are building rockets, spacecraft and balloons at high altitude,” Bell said. “The depth of Arizona’s presence in the commercial space is truly impressive. “
In an effort to strengthen the success of local businesses in space entrepreneurship, ASU NewSpace has joined the Arizona Commerce Authority Small Business Administration’s FAST Partner Program. The ACA uses the program to award federal and state technology grants, or FAST, to small businesses in Arizona and connects them to innovation research opportunities for small businesses and technology transfer for small businesses. (SBIR / STTR).
This partnership will increase access to ASUs Basic research centers and create new relationships between local businesses and ASU researchers.
Connecting researchers for connected robots
In addition to matching well-suited partners, NewSpace – in collaboration with ASU research – runs workshops and courses for researchers looking to break into the world of NASA awards.
“The problem with different funding agencies is that they all have slightly different priorities,” explains Sze Zheng Yong, professor at the Higher School of Matter, Transport and Energy Engineers. “They have slightly different jargon and different requirements.”
ASU NewSpace helped Yong overcome these differences, which resulted in an early-career faculty space technology fellowship in 2020 from NASA. Yong is working on an algorithm designed to coordinate robots that are physically tied together to navigate and estimate terrain.
“If the robots are tied together, they can do more than if they were just to be alone,” Yong explains, comparing him to mountaineers. “Think of someone trying to go down a steep hill or a cliff. If you have a rope with someone holding you at the top then you can do a little more than you would otherwise.
Yong’s research is funded up to $ 200,000 per year for three years. Tethers Unlimited, a small entrepreneurial aerospace company, collaborates with Yong for the award. If successful, he imagines that his algorithm could be used in future rover missions.
“There are some places rovers probably wouldn’t want to go because it’s too risky to explore,” Yong says. “If it breaks or falls somewhere, then that’s it – you just lost I don’t know how much money and how long.” So the idea is to have multiple rovers, and by having more than one, they help each other explore.
Lunar lander photo shoot
In addition to leading ASU NewSpace, Bell continues to pursue his own research in space exploration. With another professor from the School of Earth and Space Exploration Jnaneshwar Das, Bell supports the Lunar ExoCam project, developed by entrepreneurial space startup Zandef Deksit Inc.
“They basically created this little deployable camera that would come out of a lunar lander as it approached the moon, land on the surface, then look back and take movies of the descending lander,” says Bell.
If the Lunar ExoCam finds its way aboard a rocket, it could capture the very first video of a lunar descent and landing from the moon’s surface.
The project was funded for $ 650,000 under NASA’s Space Technology Mission Directorate Flight Opportunities program, with Zandef Deksit’s Jason Achilles Mezilis as a principal investigator. Other commercial space companies, including Honeybee Robotics and Ecliptic Enterprises Corp., are also on the team.
The price includes an educational component, where Das and Bell fit in. The pair helped define an aerial drone test bed for Das students to use to evaluate ExoCam prototypes, with support from the School of Earth and Space Exploration’s Autonomous Exploration Systems special. thematic courses.
“It was natural for this group of landers and cameras, which were really, really focused on technical implementation, to reach out to ASU,” Bell said. “We had already established the relationships. They knew ASU. They know we have amazing students, we have amazing programs. We are used to working with companies on the space side to advance both our goals and theirs. | aerospace |

Model Airplane Kits
While these model airplane kits appear modern, their designs date from early aviation history. New for 2011 is Avion de Pénaud. In homage to Alphonse Pénaud, who in Paris 1871 designed, built, and flew the first rubber band powered model plane in the world. The Crow was designed and built in 1889. It was the first rubber band-powered model plane to be built and flown in Japan. The Hishou dates from 1911 when the unusual A-shaped design successfully crossed a river in a flight contest. The kits come with balsa wood, ultralight polystyrene, rubber bands, propellers and complete instructions. | aerospace |

The Finnish national airline received the first of the 19 A350 aircraft they have on order making them the first European airline to fly the plane and only the third in the world after Qatar Airways and Vietnam Airlines.
The plane is currently undertaking crew familiarisation flights before it enters into long haul service on 21 November giving passengers an opportunity to view the stunning Finnish scenery as they depart Helsinki on flights to a number of European destinations.
Finnair have already announced the routes from Helsinki they intend to use the A350 on including Shanghai, Beijing, Bangkok, Hong Kong and Singapore. They also recently announced that they intend to be the first airline to offer flights on the A350 to New York.
The A350 is the latest innovation in aircraft and was developed by French manufacturer Airbus. Officially called the A350XWB, the XWB standing for extra wide body, it is claimed by Airbus that airlines will see a 25% improvement in fuel efficiency.
Passengers will also notice a difference with a large cabin offering a more spacious environment and with advanced air filtration and lower cabin altitude, passengers can expect to arrive at their destination feeling much fresher than they would on older aircraft.
The plane also features onboard cameras that give passengers a pilot’s eye view of the flight on their in flight entertainment screen with a camera on the planes tail for anyone wanting to see the plane in flight .
One of the lucky passengers to be on board for the flight from Helsinki to London Heathrow was self confessed avgeek Colin Alexander-Brown. After his flight he said:
“When i found out that Finnair were flying their new A350 to Heathrow i just had to try it out. One thing that surprised me about the plane was how specious it feels. It is also very quiet in the cabin compared to most other planes I’ve been on.
“The crew were all really friendly and as excited as the passengers to be trying out the new plane. I’m looking forward to flying on it again some time.”

It’s no secret that the COVID-19 pandemic has devastated aviation to a degree never seen before
It’s no secret that the COVID-19 pandemic has devastated aviation to a degree never seen before. Air travel fell by 95% in the United States, and the rest of the world has suffered similar hits.
With demand falling massively below what it used to be and supply remaining relatively the same, the difference between the two can be measured in terms of excess workers, excess flights, and excess aircraft.
Airlines have already slashed their schedules to match the reduced demand for air travel, leaving as many as hundreds of aircraft per airline without any scheduled flights.
Even the aircraft that are still kept in service are flying significantly less, partially because airlines are intentionally using more aircraft than what is necessary to operate their barebones networks of flights.
By using more than the minimum number of aircraft required, airlines can keep more aircraft airworthy and up-to-date from a maintenance perspective whereas if these aircraft were kept grounded, they would be forced to undergo lengthy maintenance evaluations before they were allowed to fly again.
Still, not all aircraft can be cycled into the airlines’ flight networks and must be parked indefinitely instead.
It may seem relatively easy to park an aircraft, but what goes on behind the scenes is a logistical masterpiece, a process that begins before the aircraft is even parked, and won’t finish until it’s flying again.
The process begins when airlines decide where to park their aircraft. Many may wonder why parked aircraft can’t simply be left at an airport gate; after all, travel demand is low enough that these gates won’t all be needed, right?
In some cases, this is exactly what happens. Some parked aircraft are kept at gates, but there aren’t enough gates to go around.
After there’s no more room at the gates, the next available location is open space on the airport ramp. When ramp space runs out, even runways can be used to park aircraft.
Airports with multiple runways, like Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, can be seen with entire runways full of parked aircraft, owing to the fact that these runways are no longer required for operations due to the reduction in flights.
If an aircraft cannot be parked at one of the operator’s hub airports or the operator simply doesn’t want it to be parked there, the airline must look for other airports to park its aircraft.
The best candidates are airports that receive little or no commercial service, leaving plenty of room to park potentially hundreds of aircraft, while also being located in a hot and dry climate, which helps to prevent corrosion while the aircraft are parked.
Delta Air Lines chose Victorville Southern California Logistics Airport, a site that meets all these criteria, as a location to park hundreds of excess aircraft.
Victorville already functions as an “aircraft boneyard” where old planes are parked, some of which may see a new spell of service under a different operator while others will be parted out and scrapped.
Victorville is an especially ideal site for temporarily storing aircraft due to the specialized maintenance facilities and services located on-site, services that are especially important for keeping parked aircraft airworthy and damage-free.
Once it has been decided where an aircraft will be parked, the aircraft is flown to the location just like any other flight, only there are no passengers and minimal crew members on board.
After it arrives there, the aircraft will be parked in very close proximity to aircraft of the same type in order to maximize available space.
On narrower surfaces such as runways, aircraft will often be parked at a slight angle in order to fit two rows of aircraft on a single runway, because runways are typically too narrow to hold two rows of aircraft if the aircraft are parked in straight lines due to their large wingspan.
All parked aircraft will typically be left with fuel in their tanks in order to keep them balanced and firmly planted on the ground, a step that is especially important because winds can sometimes be strong enough to push aircraft slightly off their parking positions.
The engines and sensors of the parked aircraft will then be covered by a protective material to keep out sand, dirt, and other contaminants. Some airlines may opt to cover cockpit windows and even passenger windows with protective material, but this action is typically reserved for aircraft that will be stored for years on end.
Even while the aircraft are stored, they require maintenance checks before they can fly again to make sure all critical systems are still operating correctly.
According to Boeing, “Because of airplane system inactivity and the lack of regular maintenance checks during parking, the following may also occur: component mechanisms may lose lubrication, batteries may discharge, contamination of potable water systems or fuel tanks may occur, and some systems or components (such as oxygen cylinders, tires, hydraulic systems, and landing gear shock struts) may lose pressure.”
These are just some of the potential issues that may arise when an airplane is left inactive for an extended period of time.
Detailed maintenance checks must be performed as the aircraft sits to prevent them from occurring, followed by several other procedures and evaluations before the aircraft reenters service to ensure no issues were missed and to fix problems if any are found.
After all these checks have been performed, the aircraft can finally return to service…or maybe not.
Even once aircraft begin reentering service, they won’t all take to the skies at the same time. International travel has suffered far more than domestic travel, meaning aircraft that typically fly international routes will see longer spells on the ground.
As demand for air travel returns, short-haul aircraft like the Airbus A320 and Boeing 737 will see plenty of use, especially on domestic routes, but also on some international routes in certain regions where many international flights are short enough to be flown by these relatively small aircraft.
On the other end of the scale, it will take much longer to reintroduce long-haul aircraft because they require a very large amount of paying passengers on board in order to fly profitably.
The Airbus A380, configured by most airlines to carry between 500 and 600 passengers, is sitting grounded worldwide despite nearly 250 of the massive aircraft having been built.
In recent weeks, the number of A380s in the air at any given time has fluctuated between zero and two, with nearly all of these flights being operated by a single carrier: China Southern Airlines.
It is almost a certainty that China Southern is operating these aircraft at a loss if they are carrying passengers, but it is also known that a fair portion of their recent A380 flights have been cargo-only.
It is these massive four-engined aircraft like the A380 and the 350–400 seat Boeing 747 that are having their lifespans cut short by the COVID-19 pandemic more than any other aircraft; Europe will lose 46% of its A380 fleet and the Middle East will likely see similar losses as UAE based carrier Emirates is expected to retire many A380s as well.
Announcements have yet to be made regarding early retirement of the Boeing 747, but these announcements can be expected given that the 747–400 is old; the final passenger 747–400 aircraft was built in 2005, and Boeing already offers replacements for the aging, inefficient aircraft through the 777–300ER, 747–8, and 777X types.
Unfortunately, due to the inefficiency of flying a four-engined aircraft (often with many empty seats) instead of flying one or more fully booked twin-engined aircraft, A380s and 747s just don’t fit into our skies the way they used to.
With the retirement of these types already on the horizon and with demand for air travel taking months or years to return to something comparable with what it used to be, it’s simply more economical to retire these old jets than to operate them at a loss for an unknown duration.
So, what happens to all these retired aircraft?
In a typical situation, a retired aircraft would be saved from immediate scrapping to allow airlines to get the most value out of it, usually by “cannibalizing” the aircraft, or taking spare parts from it to support the rest of the fleet.
However, the scale of the COVID-19 pandemic is so great that rather than simply retiring a few aircraft, airlines are retiring their entire fleets of certain aircraft types. American Airlines announced it would be parking all 80 of its Boeing 757, 767, Airbus A330, and Embraer E190 aircraft, none of which would be returning to service with the airline.
In this case, cannibalizing these aircraft for parts does not benefit the airline, so they are left with two choices: have the aircraft salvaged for parts to support the fleets of other airlines and then scrapped after all valuable parts are removed, or attempt to find a new owner for the aircraft.
The former is typically easier to arrange but is much less profitable because a working aircraft, even an old and inefficient one, is almost always more valuable than just the parts from the aircraft.
The latter is often difficult to arrange because prospective buyers are becoming less and less interested in old aircraft due to new technological developments that mean buying a newer, more fuel-efficient aircraft is generally more economical than buying an older aircraft at a bargain price.
It is easier to find a buyer for a smaller aircraft such as the 100-seat Embraer E190 because it can be used for shorter routes with lower demand, just the kind of routes that a new or low-cost carrier (the most common buyers for these smaller old aircraft) would be flying.
In today’s market, the only companies that would typically be interested in an old widebody aircraft such as the 200+ seat Boeing 767 are those in the cargo industry.
This business strategy can easily be seen through the fleets of FedEx and UPS, two cargo-only airlines that both use older aircraft such as the Boeing 757 (production ceased in 2004) and the McDonnell Douglas MD-11 (production ceased in 2000) because they were able to purchase them secondhand for bargain prices.
For American Airlines and their 767s, finding a buyer through a cargo company is just what happened. Flight-tracking service Flightradar24 showed the beginning of the process as an American Airlines 767–300ER was flown to Tel Aviv, Israel for conversion from a passenger configuration to a cargo configuration by Bedek Aviation Group, after which the aircraft will be redesignated as a 767–300ER(BDSF) or Bedek Special Freighter.
As for aircraft that are not supported by these conversion processes, airlines must hope they can find a buyer for at least some of these aircraft, or else they will inevitably be parted out and scrapped. | aerospace |

Out of their flight suits, back into their space suits; SpaceX just tweeted that the crew of Inspiration4 have suited up ahead of their return to Earth.
While some spacecraft land on the ground, Crew Dragon, the SpaceX capsule that carried the Inspiration4 crew to orbit, does water landings. It’s much like the method used by NASA astronauts to return to Earth during the Apollo, Gemini and Mercury eras. The splashdowns occur off the coast of Florida, either in the Gulf of Mexico or in the Atlantic Ocean — SpaceX has selected the Atlantic for this mission. Two NASA missions returning crews from the International Space Station have splashed down safely in the past year, one of them at night.
Because the Inspiration4 mission is considerably higher than earlier Crew Dragon missions, it started dropping in altitude on Friday night, to about 225 miles from 360 miles, in order to get into better position for re-entry into Earth’s atmosphere.
Dragon will perform two burns tonight to reduce the spacecraft’s altitude to ~365km and line up the ground track with the landing site
— SpaceX (@SpaceX) September 17, 2021
Later on Saturday, shortly before preparing to land, the vehicle will jettison what SpaceX calls the “trunk” section of the spacecraft — the cylindrical compartment below the gumdrop-shaped capsule. The trunk will burn up in the atmosphere.
Then the capsule will begin firing its thrusters to drop out of orbit. Once it is low enough in Earth’s atmosphere, parachutes will deploy to gently lower the capsule into the sea.
The crew of Inspiration4 lifted off on time from the Kennedy Space Center on Wednesday at 8:02 p.m. Eastern time. It was a flawless flight to orbit.
The evening sky was nearly devoid of clouds when the nine engines of the Falcon 9 rocket ignited, lifting the rocket and its passengers to space.
Once the flight launched, the crew’s enthusiasm was unbowed by the forces pressing down on them, as a video inside the capsule showed Sian Proctor, the flight’s pilot, and Christopher Sembroski, the mission specialist, fist-bumping.
The capsule then headed to an orbit some 360 miles up, higher than the International Space Station and the Hubble Space Telescope. Indeed, the Inspiration4 crew will be farther from Earth than anyone else since the space shuttles worked on the Hubble in the 1990s.
After three days in orbit, the crew of the Inspiration4 mission — the first trip to orbit where no one aboard is a professional astronaut — is headed home to Earth.
The Crew Dragon capsule that is carrying the astronauts is scheduled to splash down in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Florida at 7:06 p.m. Eastern time. SpaceX will stream video of the landing and recovery of the capsule on their YouTube page.
In the event that weather prevented the astronauts from returning, the crew could circle the planet for an extended period of time. In response to a CNBC reporter’s question about the potential for a delayed return to Earth because of weather or other factors, Jared Isaacman, the billionaire who commands the mission and financed it, said on Tuesday they would be able to stay in space for “about a week.”
Christopher Sembroski, 42, of Everett, Wash., works in data engineering for Lockheed Martin. During college, Mr. Sembroski worked as a counselor at Space Camp, an educational program in Huntsville, Ala., that offers children and families a taste of what life as an astronaut is like. He also volunteered for ProSpace, a nonprofit advocacy group that pushed to open space to more people.
Mr. Sembroski described himself as “that guy behind the scenes, that’s really helping other people accomplish their goals and to take center stage.”
He is the mission specialist for Inspiration4, and responsible for certain tasks during the mission.
Sian Proctor, 51, is a community college professor from Tempe, Ariz.
Dr. Proctor, who is African American and holds a doctorate in science education, had come close to becoming an astronaut the old-fashioned way. She said that in 2009, she was among 47 finalists whom NASA selected from 3,500 applications. The space agency chose nine new astronauts that year. Dr. Proctor was not one of them.
She applied twice more and was not even among the finalists.
She still pursued her space dreams in other ways. In 2013, Dr. Proctor was one of six people who lived for four months in a small building on the side of a Hawaiian volcano, part of an effort financed by NASA to study the isolation and stresses of a long trip to Mars.
She is the pilot on the Inspiration4 mission, the first Black woman to serve as the pilot of a spacecraft.
Hayley Arceneaux, 29, is a physician assistant at St. Jude Children’s Hospital in Memphis. Almost two decades ago, Ms. Arceneaux, who grew up in the small town of St. Francisville, La., was a patient at St. Jude when bone cancer was diagnosed in her left leg, just above the knee. Ms. Arceneaux went through chemotherapy, an operation to install prosthetic leg bones and long sessions of physical therapy.
“When I grow up, I want to be a nurse at St. Jude,” she said in a video shown at the ceremony in 2003. “I want to be a mentor to patients. When they come in, I’ll say, ‘I had that when I was little, and I’m doing good.’”
Last year, Ms. Arceneaux was hired by St. Jude. She works with children with leukemia and lymphoma.
Ms. Arceneaux is the youngest American ever to travel to orbit. She will also be the first person with a prosthetic body part to go to space. She is the health officer for the mission.
He grew up in New Jersey and in ninth grade started a company offering help to befuddled computer users. One of his clients was a payment processing company, and its chief executive offered him a job. Mr. Isaacman took the job and dropped out of high school at age 16. He obtained a general educational development certificate, or G.E.D.
After half a year, Mr. Isaacman figured out a new way to handle payment processing, and in 1999 he founded his own company in his parents’ basement. That evolved into Shift4 Payments, which went public in June 2020.
Mr. Isaacman started flying as a hobby, learning to pilot more and more advanced aircraft including military fighter jets. In 2012, he started a second company called Draken International, which owns fighter jets and provides training for pilots in the United States military. He has since sold Draken but still flies fighter jets for fun.
Last year, Mr. Isaacman wanted to invest in SpaceX, which remains a privately held company, but missed the latest investment offering by the company. Mr. Isaacman tried to convince SpaceX officials of his enthusiasm by telling them he wanted to buy a trip to orbit someday. That led to conversations that resulted in Mr. Isaacman undertaking the Inspiration4 mission. He is serving as the mission’s commander. | aerospace |

Edelweiss acquiring six A350-900s as of 2025
Zurich-based Edelweiss Air currently has a fleet of 18 aircraft, including 13 Airbus A320s and five Airbus A340-300s. The carrier has an average fleet age of nearly 20 years, and now plans to modernize its fleet. Edelweiss Air will acquire six Airbus A350-900s, which will replace the carrier’s five Airbus A340-300s:
- The first A350-900 will join Edelweiss’ fleet by the summer of 2025
- By the end of 2026, all existing A340-300s will be retired
- With this fleet renewal, Edelweiss’ long haul fleet size will be restored to pre-coronavirus levels
- Edelweiss is acquiring some A350-900s that used to fly for LATAM, as the airline retired these aircraft during the pandemic; Delta also flies some ex-LATAM A350-900s
- These A350s aren’t part of the Lufthansa Group’s overall A350 order, as the airline has dozens of those jets on order
Here’s how Edelweiss Air CEO Bernd Bauer describes this fleet renewal:
“The modernisation of the long-haul fleet is a milestone in Edelweiss’ almost 30-year history. Edelweiss will thus operate one of the youngest long-haul fleets in Europe from 2026.”
“The design of the Airbus A350-900 sets new standards in efficiency with state-of-the-art technologies and outstanding aerodynamics. It is one of the most environmentally friendly long-haul aircraft in the world. Latest generation engines and the use of lightweight materials make the twin-engine Airbus A350-900 one of the most fuel-efficient wide-body aircraft. It consumes 25 per cent less fuel and produces 25 per cent less CO2 than the four-engine Airbus A340-300, and noise emissions are up to 50 per cent lower.”
I’ve gotta say, I’ve always been a fan of Edelweiss’ livery, and I think it looks absolutely gorgeous on the Airbus A350!
Edelweiss Airbus A350 cabins & interiors
What should we expect from the interiors of Edelweiss’ Airbus A350s? For the first four aircraft, Edelweiss will initially just offer the same product that LATAM used to offer on these planes, with slight modifications to the branding. That means the plane will feature 339 seats, including:
- 30 fully flat business class seats, in a 2-2-2 configuration
- 63 extra legroom economy seats, in a 3-3-3 configuration
- 246 economy class seats, in a 3-3-3 configuration
All seats will have personal entertainment, plus USB outlets. Unfortunately the aircraft won’t feature Wi-Fi, though, at least initially.
Eventually Edelweiss plans to introduce new cabins on its A350s, representing an investment that’s “a three-digit million sum.” Edelweiss is claiming not to be initially reconfiguring these aircraft “due to worldwide material shortages and reduced maintenance & engineering capacities.”
For what it’s worth, Edelweiss’ A340-300s currently have a staggered configuration in business class, almost identical to what you’ll find on SWISS’ A340-300s. For a leisure airline, it’s also noteworthy that Edelweiss doesn’t have a premium economy cabin. I can’t help but think that this will be added in the future when new interiors are introduced.
I’m kind of going to miss Edelweiss’ very unusual A340-300 configuration. The airline puts business class between extra legroom economy and economy, which you don’t often see.
Edelweiss Air is refreshing and growing its long haul fleet, as the airline is replacing its five Airbus A340-300s with six Airbus A350-900s. You can expect the aircraft to join Edelweiss’ fleet in 2025 and 2026, and for all A340s to be retired by late 2026. These A350s will initially feature former LATAM interiors, and at some point in the future the airline claims to be investing in new cabins.

A few hours later came the surprise admission by the United States Air Force that an experimental aircraft may have crashed in the same area. This may have all gone unnoticed as nothing more than a military exercise gone awry if it were not for the witnesses to the actual event.
A number of those first few witnesses describe the aircraft as a UFO. Almost all the witnesses agreed that the aircraft had suffered some sort of catastrophic mechanical failure as there was smoke pouring from the side of the aircraft.
As for the military’s excuse of the aircraft being some sort of experimental jet fighter may be in dispute by some of the witnesses who were in or live near the area where the aircraft went down. As one witness said, “I can’t remember seeing so many jet fighters and helicopters in my life in one area.” In fact, a number of witnesses report seeing a wide variety of helicopters and jet aircraft circling the area for most of the night. A number of unmanned combat aerial vehicles (UCAVs) were identified along with the standard complement of stealth fighters the Air Force is currently using. The kinds and types of helicopters were just as varied with more than a few gunships providing cover for the helicopters that landed in the area.
Several hunters that were in the area not far from where the actual aircraft came down were surprised by the soldiers that suddenly seemed to appear in the area to safely escort them away from the danger zone. While none of them actually saw the aircraft, a couple of those hunters did report seeing what looked like a bald naked young woman about 5 feet in height with a very light almost gray complexion running through the woods. If they had been inclined to be of assistance to the young woman it would not have been possible to do so as within moments of seeing the woman they were surrounded by soldiers.
A number of our inside sources with military have confirmed that the downed aircraft was extraterrestrial in nature. And, that there were two occupants in the aircraft one of which was found dead at the crash site. The other occupant was captured a few hours later and it along with the remains of the aircraft and all its contents were transported to area 51 before daybreak the next day. We cannot help but note that if this had been a normal aircraft, experimental or not, from this planet, the whole operation of looking for evidence and trying to piece together the cause of the crash would have taken up days if not weeks.
Given our sources and the number of witnesses to the event and the massive use of manpower and machines to secure the area we cannot help but question the official story. A number of reporters and other people who made their way to the site after the fact reported seeing nothing. The area was so clean that even the impact crater where the aircraft actually hit the ground had been covered over leaving only fresh dirt to mark the long gash from the impact in the earth.
We can only conclude that this is another UFO crash site. Unlike the UFO crash site in Roswell, New Mexico, this cannot be explained away as being just another weather balloon.

By Terry Maxon January 30, 2015
American Airlines pilots have approved a new five-year contract that gives them 23 percent pay raises this year and 3 percent pay raises on Jan. 1 for the next five years.
The Allied Pilots Association said 65.68 percent voted in favor of the deal, with 34.32 percent against. Of those eligible, 94 percent cast votes. Only the Miami pilot base had a majority voting against the deal.
American thanked the pilots, while the union said the airline needs to address “shortcomings” in the new contract.
“Today’s results provide immediate and significant pay increases to our pilots, and represent another step forward in our integration,” AA president Scott Kirby said in a statement. “We are especially pleased that American is in a position to support pay increases that recognize the contributions of our pilots this early in our integration.”
Kirby also thanked APA president Keith Wilson, other national officers, the APA board and the union and company negotiating teams.
Wilson thanked the pilots for their participating, noting the high voter turnout.
“By voting in favor of the JCBA, our pilots will benefit from higher pay rates. In effect, the pilots of American Airlines made a business decision,” Wilson said in a statement.
“APA will now focus on further engagement with American Airlines management to address ongoing shortcomings in our contract. Our total compensation will still trail industry-leader Delta, while work rules affecting our pilots’ quality of life need meaningful improvement. There’s a lot of work remaining to achieve the industry-leading contract our pilots deserve,” Wilson said.
“True culture change will require a contract commensurate with our status as the pilots who fly for the world’s largest carrier,” he said.
The decision avoids a scenario in which the Allied Pilots Association contract combining US Airways and American Airlines pilots under a single agreement would have gone to binding arbitration.
In a regulatory filing Jan. 12, American said the pilot contract would increase its cost by $650 million in 2015, and it would incur another $50 million in December 2014 costs because the pay raises would be retroactive to Dec. 2.
The new contract combined three contracts into a single collective bargaining agreement for pilots of American and US Airways, which merged in December 2013.
American pilots were operating under a contract forced on them in late 2012 in American’s bankruptcy proceedings. US Airways pilots were operating under two contracts – one for the pilots of America West, which merged in September 2005 with US Airways, and one for the pre-AW merger US Airways.
Friday’s win for American follows December’s approval of a new contract combining flight attendants at the two carriers.
In that case, Association of Professional Flight Attendants members voted down a joint collective bargaining agreement that would have increased the value of their contracts by $193 million.
The dispute went to binding arbitration, which established a contract worth $112 million. But APFA president Laura Glading appealed to American executives to consider giving flight attendants the extra $81 million, notwithstanding the vote.
American management agreed to the same contract the flight attendants had rejected after the APFA board voted unanimously to sign off on the deal.
NOTE: The pay raise has been variously described as a 24 percent or a 23 percent pay raise. We’ve changed its description to conform with AA’s most recent description. | aerospace |

Now a lawsuit involving a pilot for a regional airline and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is shedding light on serious problems that affect commuter flights and that could well lead to airplane accidents, airplane injuries, and airplane fatalities.
In far too many cases, it seems that small regional airlines are ignoring mechanical problems, safety issues, and even complaints by crew members and pilots. For example, one commuter airplane had reported landing gear problems seven times without a result – within a month, the plane crash-landed without its landing gear. In many cases, crew members who complain or blow the whistle are fired by the airline company.
In addition small airlines may be training a number of new pilots poorly – another mistake that has lead to small plane accidents in recent years.
Some of the problems stem from the rising cost of flying – and the fliers’ wish to travel as cheaply as possible. In many cases, the regional airline with the lowest operating costs will attract more customers. But it may also be the most likely to crash. Other problems stem from poor pilot pay on regional airlines – many receive paychecks that put their family below the national poverty line and many work long hours that span beyond federal regulations.
Many question whether the FAA’s response to the dangers and poor performance of the regional airlines has been harsh enough. Currently, the FAA has simply asked regional airlines to write a letter outline their plane accident prevention programs.

Now another achievement can be added to the list: interplanetary exploration.
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) landed one its largest and most advanced rovers, named Perseverance, on Mars on February 18, 2021. The aim of the mission is to search for evidence of life on Mars.
Perseverance has complex temperature controls to help it survive. The planet has extreme temperature variations of up to 113°C per Mars day. It’s high temperature days reach around 20°C, while low temperature days can drop by up to -100°C.
This requires significant cooling during the day and heating at night.
The external parts of a rover body are painted with a gold coating to help prevent heat escaping and cold air entering. The NASA website describes this effect as “similar to that used in a thermos bottle, where the reflective coating on the inner vacuum bottle helps keep coffee hot by minimising radiation heat transfer across the bottle”.
The complex parts of the rover, such as batteries, electronics, and computers, reside in a warm electronics box (WEB). The WEB walls help to keep excess heat in during the night, and the rover can release excess heat via radiators during the day.
Thermal switches are used to automatically monitor temperatures, and turn the rover’s heaters on and off. The batteries that power a rover are heated using radioisotope heater units (RHUs), which help conserve nighttime battery power.
The Perseverance rover uses a power source called a “multi-mission radioisotope thermoelectric generator” to generate its electricity. The system “converts heat from the natural radioactive decay of plutonium into electricity”, according to the NASA website.
Mars missions can last for years once they land. NASA scientists carefully selected the landing site for Perseverance, and it is searching for current or former signs of life.

That being said, most travelers don't have much understanding of what sorts of electronic systems exist on an airplane and what their purpose even is. With so many news stories focusing on airline safety lately, many people are trying to learn more about what makes an airplane work. More importantly, consumers and journalists alike are diving into the world of airborne electronic hardware, which is the electronic hardware airlines use for instrumentation. If you're wanting to learn more about the electronic hardware that's used by airplanes, read on.
There's a wide range of systems that fall under the category of airborne electronic hardware. Flight and engine controls, for example, are some of the most critical components of an airplane's airborne electronics. These are the tools that pilots use to control the aircraft during flight, as well as during takeoff and landing. As such, it's critical that the hardware controlling these systems are appropriately checked before each flight using a checklist that verifies each component is properly configured. That being said, autopilot systems have an equally vital role to play and are another piece of electronic hardware. One of the primary roles that a plane's autopilot system is used for is helping maintain the aircraft's trajectory during flight. Note that autopilot doesn't eliminate the need for an airplane pilot. Instead, autopilot assists them in some of the most basic flight functions so that they don't need to manually handle every adjustment during the flight. This frees up their flight time to focus on more important aspects of the aircraft's electronic systems.
The types of people who mainly deal with airborne electronic hardware are design or verification engineers and project managers or certification managers. These sorts of individuals are tasked with ensuring that each plane's hardware is properly manufactured and configured. In order to serve as a hardware engineer or any of the previously listed roles, it's important that you receive the appropriate design assurance guidance and certification. D0-254 training ensures that you have the proper certification and knowledge of best practices to work in avionics hardware development. During a DO-254 training session, you'll learn the ins and outs of how to use the latest FAA and EASA guidance in your assessment of avionics hardware. This includes taking a closer look at the lifecycle and application of DO-254 standards, as well as how to conduct various safety assessments in conjunction with appropriate DO-254 documentation. You'll also learn how to verify different requirements under DO-254 using hardware tests as well as simulations. Beyond conducting tests, you will also gain a deeper understanding of how to write and program various logic devices, as well as how to deal with different tool assessment techniques. Generally, training is conducted over a series of days in multiple sessions.
When it comes to ensuring FAA and EASA compliance and offering a wide range of guidance, training, and certifications, AFuzion is one of the leaders in the aviation and avionics industry. From offering classes in DO-254 training and sharing DO-178B whitepapers so that your avionics engineers are capable of gap analysis and quality assurance, there are numerous ways that you can improve the way you work with airborne electronic hardware. AFuzion offers DO-254 training publicly and privately, as well as online training videos. This makes it easier to find a training solution that fits your needs or your company's interests. Keep this resource in mind, and you'll be well on your way to staying compliant with all aviation regulations. | aerospace |

- last month
Ryanair CEO Michael O'Leary warned that airfares could rise by up to 10% this summer due to delays in the delivery of new Boeing 737 Max aircraft. Ryanair had expected to receive 57 Boeing 737 Max 8200 aircraft by March but now estimates only 40-45 may arrive in time for the peak season. The delays will constrain Ryanair's capacity and force it to carry fewer passengers this year, with forecasts revised down from 205 million to around 200 million. Boeing is facing scrutiny over quality control issues following an in-flight incident in January, and production has slowed as regulators inspect plans more closely.

Technologies that will help in sending an Indian astronaut to space – like human crew module and environment control and life support system – have already been developed, ISRO chairman K Sivan said on Wednesday.
Prior to the actual launch by 2022, the Indian Space Research Organisation will have two unmanned missions and spacecraft will be fired using Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle Mark-III, Sivan said.
His remarks came after Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced in his Independence Day address that India will attempt a manned mission into space by 2022 on board ‘Gaganyaan’.
If successful, India would be the fourth nation to achieve that feat.
Is India prepared? Here’s all you need to know:
- The ISRO has been talking about a human spaceflight for over a decade. But it has been low-key, primarily because a mission had not been formally approved.
- Putting a human in space entails a lot of technical challenges which aren’t there in a normal launch.
- Apart from mastering new technologies, it also means a higher order of quality assurance for every small component.
- Aerospace experts say the ISRO has been working on several of the technical challenges over the years.
- The ISRO has already developed a space flight suit
- It is working on an environmentally controlled chamber for astronauts.
- On December 18, 2014, the ISRO tested the atmospheric re-entry of a crew module. Called CARE (Crew Module Atmospheric Re-entry Experiment), the module entered the atmosphere after being separated from the launch vehicle, deployed its parachutes and splashed into the Bay of Bengal.
- Last month, the ISRO conducted a pad-abort test. The experiment was to demonstrate the safe recovery of the crew module in case of an exigency at the launch pad
- Rakesh Sharma, a former IAF pilot, was the first Indian to travel to space. Sharma was a part of Soviet Union’s Soyuz T-11 expedition, launched on April 2, 1984, as part of the Intercosmos programme.
- Indian-born Kalpana Chawla and Indian-origin Sunita Williams are among the known names to have gone to space.
- Chawla was one of the seven crew members who perished in the space shuttle Columbia’s disaster during its re-entry to the Earth’s atmosphere.
- K Radhakrishnan, former ISRO chairman under whose leadership the Mangalyaan mission was launched in 2013, termed the announcement of Gaganyaan mission a “turning point” for ISRO.
- ISRO is known for its space programme, focus on projects that matter to the day-day lives of people.
- However, of late, it has launched missions like Chandrayaan-1 (moon mission) and Mangalyaan (Mars Orbiter Mission) that has aroused tremendous interest among people.
- It will launch Chandrayaan-2, which will land a rover on the moon, next year.

I grew up watching the Space Race between the US and USSR. I remember the first US manned space flight – Alan Shepard’s 15 minute sub-orbital jaunt off the coast of Florida. I bought a vinyl recording of the air-to-ground communications and listened to it enough times to be able to recite the capsule- to-Canaveral communications from memory. The deaths of my heroes on Apollo I, Challenger, and Columbia (as well as of several Soviet cosmonauts) were like a death in the family. I thrived on the successes of Mercury, Gemini, Skylab, Apollo, Mir, the International Space Station, and the Shuttle. When I started my career in the summer of 1969, one of my first purchases was a television set so I could watch the miracle of Neil Armstrong’s footsteps on the moon. While I didn’t work directly on any of the space programs, during my career I was fortunate to work to support the Atlas, Titan, Landsat, Shuttle, ISS, and several classified space programs. I’ve had “behind the scenes” tours of the Johnson Space Center (that’s me on the left in the photo with Dr. Segun Thomas at JSC in front of a huge environmental test chamber) and the Kennedy Space Center, highlighted by the thrill of piloting the Space Shuttle simulator to a not-so-perfect landing on the KSC runway. I’ve been fortunate to work with several former astronauts – all as fiercely intelligent as they are brave.
After the splashdown of Apollo 17 in 1972, the buzz of the manned space program was somewhat abated. We were at a crossroads. We met President Kennedy’s goal of going to the moon and returning safely by the end of the decade, and repeated it five more times. (And by the way, all of this was done using computer technology that was much less powerful than the iPhone I carry in my pocket). We bit our nails until the ill-fated Apollo 13 came home. The “reusable” Space Shuttle program was started – albeit without a clear mission. We had some subsequent wonderful and priceless scientific successes in unmanned space exploration through the Hubble Space Telescope (which couldn’t have been successful without the several manned repair and upgrade missions), the never-say-die Spirit and Opportunity exploration of Mars, and numerous deep space probes that have travelled into the deep reaches of the Solar System.
Now, we are at another crossroads. The Shuttle program is winding down, with five more flights to go. Nothing generates as much excitement as manned space flight. Is it expensive? Sure. Is it worth it in terms of risk and dollars? Certainly. Those who argue that we can learn as much about the planets by sending unmanned probes are right, but manned space flight provides much more than excitement and national pride. Advances in medicine, materials, energy, and other fields are direct results of the manned space program.
So where do we go from here? President Obama cancelled the Constellation program which would have built the boosters and capsules to return us to the moon. (Full disclosure: I am retired from Lockheed Martin which had a big chunk of the Constellation program). Instead, NASA will spend $6 billion to jump start private companies to develop and operate vehicles that will ferry civilian astronauts to the International Space Station.
While the cancellation of the Constellation program was the right thing to do, our experience with the privatization of government services is unblemished by success. Competition is a good thing, but operating the space program as a “for profit” enterprise will result in duplication of effort, compromise safety, and reduce the ancillary benefits that we have enjoyed from NASA’s research and development. We will lose the programs that NASA has run with schools and universities that encourage students to study math and science, and we will continue to abdicate our leadership in these areas to China and India. Manned space flight is a risky business, and it is yet to be seen whether private companies will be willing to assume those risks. Sure, there will be government subsidies, but as we have seen in the banking business, subsidies without control lead to a small number of very rich people with no upside for the taxpayer.
There is a better way – and we have irrefutable evidence that it works.
Let’s set a goal of a manned mission to Mars. The Red Planet has been an object of human wonderment since the first cave man marveled at this oddly colored moving star in the sky. But let’s not do it alone. Make it a goal of humankind to establish a presence on Mars by 2025 and continue the mission spearheaded by our astronauts, cosmonauts, and taikonauts. We need to partner with Russia, China, Japan, India, the European Space Agency, and the rest of the world to make a Mars mission a global goal. We have shown that we can partner with our fellow humans on the International Space Station – let’s take it to the next step and expand those partnership goals to work together to go to Mars.

David Kaweesa, the Director of Flight Operations at Uganda Airlines, emphasized the airline’s need to increase its crew to meet targeted flights and route plans.
Currently, Uganda Airlines operates with 13 pairs of first officers and 13 pairs of captains, which falls short of the required capacity to expand regional flights and introduce new routes. To meet their flight and revenue targets, the airline aims to boost crew numbers to at least 24 pairs of captains and 24 pairs of first officers.
In efforts to comply with regulatory requirements and ensure crew members’ well-being, Uganda Airlines has reduced flight frequencies on certain routes such as Nairobi and Juba. Jennifer Bamuturaki, the CEO of Uganda Airlines, highlighted the importance of adhering to regulations and maintaining crew rest periods to prevent overworking.
Flight delays and cancellations have been attributed to the airline’s struggle to maintain safe operating margins due to crew shortages. Despite recruiting efforts, securing sufficient crew members has proven challenging, with only four successful applicants out of 67 for first captain positions.
The shortage in crew numbers has led to delays in Uganda Airlines’ expansion plans, including launches into new routes like London, Guangzhou, Jeddah Riyad, Abuja, and Lusaka. However, the airline remains optimistic about securing funding in the upcoming financial year to support operations and enhance competitiveness. | aerospace |

Suddenly, instead of symbolizing the speed and connectivity of the modern economy, the whole of the aviation industry ground to a halt. Even the military was put in a bind as soldiers often live and work in close quarters. The advent of a COVID vaccine further deepened the divide as some in the Armed Forces chose to be discharged rather than be inoculated.
Likewise, many seething geopolitical rivalries faded into the backdrop as the international community focused on combating the threat of the coronavirus. Now that much of the world has returned to some semblance of normal, air travel has picked up dramatically from its 2020 lows, according to data from the U.S. Bureau of Transportation Statistics.
Also, prior geopolitical rivalries flared up again, which incentivizes military-related spending. Below are the best aerospace and defense company stocks to watch out for this year as you invest.
Quick Look at the Best Aerospace and Defese Stocks:
- Lockheed Martin
- General Dynamics
Thanks to the intersection of national security interests and the drive for economic competition, the best aerospace and defense stocks historically provide an excellent arena for buy-and-hold investors to grow their portfolios.
Unfortunately, the COVID-19 crisis proved that very few sectors could avoid the initial volatility associated with a once-in-a-century pandemic. At the same time, defense contracts never stop, and these contracts have a massive impact on the stock market. As defense contracts are awarded, defense firms see increases in both cash flow and stock prices. This means that aerospace stocks and defense companies are constantly changing in valuation. Their receivables, while massive, are still subject to change. Government contracts could go to the competition and defense spending could be reallocated at any time.
Plus, Wall Street can see strength in a particular industry, be it the technology side or the manufacturing side. Investors know how much government spending is expected from these firms, and that often impacts everyone’s trading strategy.
Nevertheless, the U.S. and the global community came together to manufacture and distribute a vaccine in record time. With a return to normalcy comes economic opportunities, along with a resurgence of old rivalries, both boding cynically well for aerospace and defense stocks.
Overview: Aerospace and Defense Stock
As one of the most competitive and lucrative market segments, aerospace and defense stocks fundamentally offer investors a double dose of profitability potential. First, the aerospace industry transformed the 20th century, enabling people to travel great distances at unprecedented speed. As we progress along the technological spectrum this century, aerospace firms are aiming even higher. For instance, experts believe that space tourism will become a $1.57 billion industry by 2028. This doesn’t even count military spending, which is always quite high.
Second, investors can readily bank on the relevance of the defense component of the aerospace market. No matter how humanity progresses, the conflict appears inevitable — and there may be plenty of it. As the world’s sole superpower, the U.S. has a unique responsibility to project power and deter adversarial or belligerent actors from undermining American interests and that of U.S. allies.
Further, because of a transition in power in Washington, D.C., and the stark shift in leadership culture, a few nations appear to be testing the Biden administration. Therefore, it’s possible that defense spending could increase to counteract such high-level shenanigans, which may bode well for aerospace and defense stocks. Additionally, Deloitte reports that U.S. allies such as Japan are beefing up their security profile, potentially providing additional revenue streams for American defense contractors, especially as the defense budget continues to rise with inflation.
Finally, the COVID-19 crisis initially imposed what appeared to be crippling volatility among aerospace and defense stocks. Logically, with billions of people around the world practically forced into quarantine, airplanes sat parked on tarmacs. Not only was that devastating for commercial airliners, but the aerospace industry also suffered steep losses in product and service revenues.
However, with the return of consumers wanting to make up for lost time, the defense sector could see a revival. Contract awards to firms like Northrup Grumman and United Technologies can easily drive up the gross domestic product.
Best Online Brokers for Aerospace and Defense Stock
Though you may find a few exceptions to the rule, aerospace and defense stocks tend to be well-capitalized and deeply established blue-chip names. Given the complex nature of the business, along with its mission-critical profile, the industry features a high barrier to entry. Therefore, you usually don’t have to worry about an upstart competitor ruining your portfolio.
Further, the tough-to-crack aerospace sector enables you the freedom to choose your online broker based on your lifestyle and preferences. With the best aerospace and defense stocks on this list mostly being household names, any brokerage will carry their equity units. To help you decide, below are the best online brokers for the aerospace and defense industry.
Features to Look for in Aerospace and Defense Stock
- Balanced pipeline: When assessing aerospace and defense stocks, the latter portion invariably draws the most attraction — fighter jets offer more pizzazz than commercial jetliners. Nevertheless, the most successful companies in this sector have found a healthy balance between commercial and military applications. This balance may become even more important in the future as defense budgets could find themselves under pressure from fiscal and political headwinds.
- Track record: In the defense industry, no greater honor exists than repeat business. If particular weapons and security systems work well, military and government agencies will continue requesting them. Similarly, if commercial aerospace entities consistently satisfy consumers and clients, they too will provide repeat business. Therefore, when figuring out which aerospace and defense stocks to buy, consider a heavier allocation toward companies that have a strong track record and brand reputation.
- Robust financials: Although robust financials is an attribute that investors should consider for any equity sector category, it’s particularly important for aerospace and defense stocks. For one thing, this market subsegment is capital-intensive. Second, no one knows for sure how the COVID-19 pandemic will ultimately play out. For example, consumer fears could linger, which may pose challenges on the commercial side. But companies with strong balance sheets can ride out the pain longer than others.
- Obvious connections to the military: When you invest in companies like Raytheon Technologies, Lockheed Martin Corporation (which is developing the F35 fighter jet), Collins Aerospace(a subsidiary of Raytheon), Archer Aviation (which is developing air taxis that could prove useful in forward areas), Rocket Lab USA, Northrup Grumman Corporation (which develops the B-2 and B-21), etc., you can see the obvious connection to military spending.
- Strong supply chain: When you invest in a defense business, supply chain issues are common. Remember, everything from air mobility to a random equipment manufacturer can slow a big contract. Airplane production takes time, and while contract announcements are exciting, there’s never an end-date on those announcements. Keep your eye on manufacturers of aircraft components like Spirit Aerosystems, stock returns across the sector and even what hedge fund holders are doing so that get the “big picture”.
Fly the Friendly (and Unfriendly) Skies for Serious Gains
In many ways, aerospace and defense stocks represent an intriguing contradiction. Invariably, the defense component draws much controversy because of its underlying product’s deadly effectiveness. On the other hand, military innovations have the propensity to improve civilian applications.
From the investor’s point of view, aerospace and defense stocks offer a 2-for-1 approach. During bull markets, the aerospace component enjoys substantial demand as people travel around the world. In times of geopolitical tension, the defense angle can hedge an investor’s portfolio against certain risks. Therefore, this sector is always worth consideration.
Frequently Asked Questions
Aerospace and defense stocks are shares in companies that are in the air or defense industries.
Because the airline industry is making a comeback, aerospace and defense stocks are considered a good investment.

http://lincolnlynx1953.org/betty_jane.html | 2017-10-22T02:56:31 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187825057.91/warc/CC-MAIN-20171022022540-20171022042540-00224.warc.gz | 0.979613 | 905 | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2017-43__0__173766712 | en | When Betty Jane came to town last June she made a lifetime fantasy come true. My fantasy was to fly in a WWII fighter, such as a Vought F4U Corsair, P38 Lockheed Lightning or a North American P51 Mustang. The P51 was the most successful fighter in WWII with over 4000 German aircraft kills. The Betty Jane is a P51C that has been modified as the only P51 with a tandem cockpit with duel controls.
I have been reviewing just when and how this fantasy all got started.
As a youngster in 1941 we had family friends who's son John Forrest Luma had enlisted in the Royal Canadian Air Force ( RCAF) that summer. John earned the nickname of "Lou" in the RCAF. This was all before Pearl Harbor, however Canada being part of the British Commonwealth was already at war with Germany. Our family would occasionally receive Victory Mail from Lou from Europe.
The V-mail was highly censored so no one here knew where in Europe he was but we did know he was flying Mosquito Fighter Bombers. The Saturday Evening Post would occasionally have a center section article featuring various airplane squadrons. When I was about ten years the Post featured the Mosquito Bomber. I don't remember the details in the article, but I do remember a good portion
of one page was about the pilot John Forrest Luma.
In any case as a young kid, to me the pilots and their planes they flew were heroic and Lou was the best. I had picked a good hero for John Forrest Luma won both the American Distinguished Flying Cross (DFC) and the British DFC. I cut out lots pictures
of military aircraft and tried to draw pictures of them. I developed an ear for some aircraft that flew over the Northend -
B17's and the very unique sound of a P38. By the time I was ten I thought the greatest thing that one could do was to fly a single engine fighter and some day I would fly in one.
On June 26, 2010 Patrick McGarry, Check Captain Flight Operations of US Airways and I took off from Boeing field in the Betty Jane. As Captain McGarry was not real familiar with our part of the world I suggested the Skykomish valley up around Mt. Index. We flew north over Puget sound along the shoreline to Everett then turned east following the Skykomish river. When we flew over Mt. Index the Captain turned me loose. As I hadn't had a joy stick in my hand since the early 60's I at first just tried tight turns keeping the nose on the horizon. Part of the reason for suggesting this area was I wanted to fly over the mountains where
I have hiked in the last sixty five years. I wanted to see Blanco Lake from the air so I headed for Index. Once spotting the
Lake and the vertical drop of Troublesome Creek it was time to see how coordinated this old man might still be. The wingovers, victory rolls, and barrel rolls were far from precision but bloody damn fun. It was time to head home so Captain McGarry took over. He shot down a few clouds then did a tight roll into a steep diving descent. We wrapped around a sharp peak using it
like a pylon about thirty feet off our right wing as we dropped into the Snoqualmie River basin. We did a circle around Snoqualmie Falls. Captain McGarry wanted to check out the sights and I remembered I had a pocket camera with me. We returned to Boeing Field where we both agreed it was a good flight.
So it was a special day. For two years now my back has failed me first for skiing then a year later for hiking. To have a day where I felt a real adrenaline rush made me feel like I shook off a little rust. Not only did I get to fly in a P51 Mustang,
I got 1.2 hours as duel pilot in my log book. How about that song, "Your dreams can come true. It can happen to you, if you
are young at heart." Yes indeed I must be a kid again.
Note: When the United States joined the war Mr. Luma was brought into the United States Army Air Force, however because of circumstances he remained with the Canadians for an extended period.

What they don’t know is they’re in the most fabulous treat. The SpaceX Falcon Rocket is on its way to space and apart from its usual supplies of food, clean underwear, and loo paper, it’s carrying a very precious cargo.
Ice cream! There are thirty small cups of Ice Cream for the astronauts, in all delicious flavors. This means they each get to have five ice creams unless of course one of them doesn’t want!
ICE CREAM FOR ASTRONAUTS
To be in space is a very hard work. Sure, it is a dream for anyone to become an astronaut but once up there, it’s tough. Apart from the fact that you float through the air for months on end because of gravity, everything is tricky, from eating to dressing to breathing, and daily life does need some respite. NASA wants to make life as easy as possible, or pleasurable where possible, and this includes ice cream for astronauts.
The cargo that is on its way right now, weighs a total of 6400 pounds. The ice cream is clearly not a large part of this cargo, probably not weighing more than a couple of pounds. Apart from all the practical stuff, the rocket is carrying hardware for the Space Station, a whole lot of live mice as well as many scientific experiments.
Here is the launch of the Rocket carrying Ice Cream for Astronauts:
The astronauts are trying to grow crystals up in space in the hope of finding new treatments for Parkinson’s disease, funded by Michael J. Fox.
Astronauts do important scientific research up there in Space. So is Ice Cream for astronauts a necessity?
Probably not at all, but it is right up there with the fruit bars or small slabs of chocolate. We all love treats and especially when your treats are delivered by a rocket to space. And especially when they taste like they are supposed to and not like cardboard. Haven’t you heard this ice cream is really good?
The delivery will arrive sometime Wednesday and any delivery that the astronauts get is welcomed with delight. There will be live footage by NASA once the docking and delivery are safely complete. We hope the ice cream for astronauts is a huge success and we wish them Bon Appetite. | aerospace |

Roscosmos, the Russian space agency, has confirmed this through a statement in which it reports this decision, because the distance between the ISS and the space debris was above 600 meters .
This action was carried out yesterday at 9:15 p.m. Spanish time, carrying out a maneuver that consisted of moving the modular station away from space debris . According to Roscosmos, the piece belonged to the Chinese meteorological satellite ‘Fengyun-1C’.
The Cnet medium explains that China destroyed this satellite in January 2007 because it was part of a test of anti-satellite missiles , causing its pieces to spread throughout space until reaching a point where it was impossible to identify them due to their miniscule size.
To carry out this maneuver, the International Space Station has used the ‘Progress MS-18’ refueling ship, as it is incorporated into its structure and has orientation and coupling motors that turn on in just over six minutes. Consequently, it was possible to increase the altitude of the space station by 1,240 meters to place it in an operational orbit, about 421 kilometers above the Earth .
When the system completes the tests, it will self-destruct.
A spokesman for NASA claimed to Gizmodo that “the likelihood of impact and risk to the International Space Station is very low, the maneuver is standard and does not require the crew to take any specific action.”
Seeing this type of action is quite common because it avoids collisions, and the chances are very high that space debris could damage the infrastructure of the ISS. On the other hand, this type of junk is becoming a trend and is getting worse over time as satellites enter low Earth orbit . | aerospace |

I can remember two occasions in my lifetime that could have resulted in my early demise. I’ve had other scary incidents, such as red-light runners passing within inches of my car, but they are less memorable.
My first frightening event occurred in 1967 (during a summer trainee program in Colorado) when a burst appendix put me in the hospital for 15 days. The situation was so dire that my parents were called and told to fly immediately (from Pennsylvania) to Colorado; Mom had never been on an airplane. The second incident occurred two years later. I can now laugh at what was nothing more than a harrowing incident. At the time, however, it seemed serious indeed.
In 1968, I began work for the Navy Weather Research Facility in Norfolk, Virginia, my first job after graduating from Penn State. A year later, I had the opportunity to participate in Project Stormfury, a government experiment to seed hurricanes. Without going into technical detail, the goal was to decrease hurricane winds to minimize storm damage. (Afterward, it was determined that the effects from the seeding were far too weak.)
I traveled to the Roosevelt Roads Naval Station in Puerto Rico where I was trained to be a Radar Advisor. Basically, that meant that I took pictures of the radar screen on the Hurricane Hunter WC-121 aircraft, a four engine propeller-driven plane. This aircraft was a “weather” version of the Navy and Air Force early warning and control radar surveillance aircraft, the EC-121; it featured two powerful radars.
I’ve forgotten how many times we flew during my stay. But I do remember one mission to investigate a tropical disturbance. You must remember that back then we did not have continuous satellite imagery like we have now, and “Hurricane Hunters” were essential observational tools. Flying at around 250 MPH, our aircraft had a range of over 4000 miles. As I recall, this mission was in the 8-10 hours in length.
Long story short, we flew some 1000 miles only to discover that the disturbance had weakened, with not much to look at or take radar pictures of. So, we headed home.
I may have been the first person on the aircraft to notice the smoke. Soon everyone knew, especially the people flying the plane. Fire on an aircraft is not a good thing, and perhaps more worrisome on one first put into service in 1954. From our 10,000-foot cruising altitude, we immediately descended to our “ditching” altitude, 1000 or 500 feet as I recall. I remember thinking that landing in the water some 1000 miles from my hotel room would make me late for dinner. Further, my swimming skills were minimal at best. To compound my fears, one crew member told me that there had never been a successful ditching of that particular aircraft. I couldn’t help but wonder what his definition of “successful” was.
At that point, excitement reigned. One of the pilots rushed back into the aircraft and began tearing away sections of the fuselage, revealing various electrical panels, trying to locate the source of the smoke. Meanwhile, the smoke was still there.
After maybe fifteen minutes of panic (on my part), it was over as quickly as it began. The smoke abated, we returned to our 10,000-foot altitude, and flew home uneventfully. To my knowledge the source of the smoke was never determined.
Please write and let me know about your most memorable close call.

The top benefits include privacy, efficiency, and flexibility. Better still, chartering private jets is not just for celebrities, executives, and corporates. Families and tour groups can also use private charter jets for vacations to get from one place to another. With a private jet charter, you have the flexibility to plan your stay trip depending on your needs and leave when you feel like it. It also allows you to select the airports you want to use, the amenities you want on the plane, and the plane you want to travel with.
Things to Consider when Choosing a Charter Jet Membership
If you are hunting for a charter jet membership, you will find a wide range of models on the market today. But before signing on the dotted line, it is essential to do your due diligence and know the best model for you and your needs. Here are some of the things you should look for:
Charter airlines are expected to have some of the best pilots in the industry. Therefore, you should ensure that the pilots have undergone intensive training and have the proper certifications and licenses for the job. They should also have at least five years of experience, meaning they can handle all potential issues with the ultimate professionalism. Besides the pilots, you should also ensure that the flight attendants and other crews have the necessary skills.
Fleet Size and Diversity
Charter airlines often have different aircraft in their fleet. The planes vary, and each has its purpose. That is why it is essential to explore all the various memberships and choose the diverse aircraft to meet your needs.
Reputation is vital in life, and charter jet membership is no different. You should only go for a charter airline with a solid track record and reputation. The airline should also have a good safety record. You can do this by checking the reviews and testimonials on the airline’s website. You can also talk to the people within your circle to know their chosen membership and why. In this case, you can select the airline with the most recommendations.
Safety and Maintenance Strategies
Safety is one of the most critical things in charter flights. That’s why you should make sure to inquire about the protocols in place for the aircraft and the pilots. A good airline will follow the FAA regulations and ensure that the aircraft are maintained to the highest possible levels. The aircraft should be inspected routinely to ensure they are safe for use.
Before signing your charter jet membership, you should make sure that you understand the fees associated with every charter. Most charters charge an initiation and an annual fee, but it is crucial to inquire about any extra charges.
Charter airlines are an ideal way to travel. They offer a luxurious travel experience that might not be possible with standard airlines. For the most reliable charter jet membership, Hera Flight has you covered. We are a charter airline committed to providing diverse membership options to suit everyone’s needs and budget. | aerospace |

Seth Green (centre photo) was one of the attendees at the Tweetup.
NASA is hosting a two-day Tweetup for 150 of its Twitter followers on 7-8 July, at Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Space Shuttle Atlantis is scheduled to make its final flight at 11:40am on July 8 – the very last space shuttle launch, ever.
What's a Tweetup?
It's basically a gathering of people who use the social networking site, Twitter. But for lucky folk who attend NASA's Tweetup, it's an opportunity to meet and mingle with Astronauts, NASA personnel and experience one of the greatest spectacles from the closest viewing spot to the launch pad.
NASA held a Tweetup for the STS-134 launch, and while I didn't get to check it out first-hand, I managed to talk to a few of the Tweeps attending, and they had an absolute blast. They had a pre-planned schedule of talks from NASA employees and astronauts, were given tours of the various facilities, etc. And of course the got to tweet their experiences for the rest of the world to share.
All New Zealander Tweeps should apply!
Given my own experiences, I cannot impress enough that any New Zealand user of twitter, with even an passing interest in space should apply. You need to pay for flights and accommodation, but this is the last ever shuttle launch, and so you don't want to miss out. And you get so much more than just a launch - backstage viewing of NASA's Kennedy Space Center, etc.
I've just spent 3.5 weeks at KSC for STS-134, and am seriously considering going back to see the final launch! | aerospace |

As such, opportunities with government funding for development and testing has never been higher for Atomos—in civil or defense.
Satellites support nearly every DoD operation. From communication, to navigation, to GPS, to Earth observation, space provides valuable information to decision makers. When satellites that are able to perform these tasks are in the wrong orbital position, unable to cover an emerging conflict zone, the ability to communicate, gather intelligence, or have reliable navigation is compromised. To fill all potential gaps, the DoD would need to greatly increase their satellite fleets. Their budget may have more zeros, but even the DoD doesn’t have infinite resources. They, too, need lower costs to place satellites in space, particularly beyond low Earth orbit (LEO), which is strategically important as LEO has vulnerabilities. As is true with our commercial customers, placing satellites in higher orbits costs considerably more. This cost-benefit trade compromises the performance of DoD satellite systems.
“Virtually every major U.S. military space system is facing a planned upgrade or replacement over the coming decade, at an estimated cost of some $60 billion… All of these options are competing for scarce resources within the Air Force budget, and hard choices will have to be made and impediments removed if those options are to be realized .”
Atomos’ Orbital Transfer Vehicles (OTVs) address these shortcomings through launch cost reduction, increased launch flexibility, and our unique ability to rendezvous with and relocate satellites already on-orbit. Atomos provided and received input from various DoD stakeholders on how our commercial solution fill various mission needs. In the last few months, we’ve received a Letter of Support from the U.S. Space Force, participated in the U.S. Airforce’s National Security Launch Architecture study, proceeded to the second round for a Defense Innovation Unit proposal to develop an OTV prototype, and spoke to Air Force units in the U.S. during our Phase I AFWERX SBIR Contract, which culminated with an Memorandum of Understanding with the Space Development Agency.
Beyond in-space transportation, Atomos’ long-term goal of space nuclear has increased interest at the DoD, particularly with DARPA’s DRACO program. We’ve had several meetings with the program director on how Atomos can play a part in this large initiative.
Atomos’ power and propulsion technologies is an obvious solution for deep space and exploration mission for NASA, but our systems also solve NASA’s needs nearer to Earth. Similar to the Commercial Resupply Services (CRS) that enable commercial companies to fly cargo to the International Space Station , NASA wants commercial companies to fly cargo to the future Lunar Gatway This $7B program, which seeks repeated cargo delivery of 4,400kg to the Gateway in lunar orbit, is a perfect fit for Atomos’ Proton and Neutron OTVs .
Like the DoD, NASA is giving space nuclear a renewed look and renewed funding. The NASA budget, issued by The White House, allocated $100M to space nuclear—now its own line item. This amount increases to $257M by 2025. As stated in the Congressional Justification:
The foundation for these capabilities is in focused technology development across four major elements:
(1) nuclear fission power to establish electric power reactor designs to support Artemis; and within Nuclear Propulsion:
(2) nuclear fuel and reactor development,
(3) nuclear fission power and propulsion study assessments, and
(4) nuclear fission propulsion subsystem development.
Working with the U.S. Government
Agencies are shaping procurement around existing or planned commercial products and services, reducing the need for commercial companies to tailor products for a government buyer. Incumbent, Prime Contractors aren’t the only ones winning contracts now. From 2000 to 2018, entrepreneurial space companies received $7.2B in public funding. The U.S. Government, and the DoD especially, realize that reinventing the wheel is expensive and see that it’s more cost-effective to find existing or emerging solutions that can solve their problems from non-traditional suppliers.
Funding cycles driven by politics can add uncertainty and deters reliance public funding, but a balanced approach of commercial and government markets diversifies the risk of both and increases our chance of success. There are many examples of how successful this has been, but most notable among entrepreneurial aerospace companies is SpaceX. NASA funded a significant portion of SpaceX’s Dragon Capsule and Falcon 9 development and SpaceX continues to earn nearly half of their launch revenue from the U.S. government .
We are cautious to pursue opportunities that closely align with our commercial development plans. In these early years, it’s important to avoid distractions and remain focused. But if there is money on the table, we’ll certainly evaluate the risks and benefits. We’re always looking for interesting opportunities that provide dilutive capital to move the mission forward. Here are some upcoming opportunities we’re exploring.

Paragliding is the most accessible flight sport ,in France this is called 'parapente'. Floating from one thermal to another we can, with enough experience, spend hours above the earth and travel large distances (distance record to date: 500 km!) To "paraglide" we use a parachute, but a very special. You sit comfortably in a harness and using only two control lines, you stear where you go. All your gear fits in a backpack: all you need is one mountain to start from. In the absence of mountains in the Flemish (Northern) part of Belgium, we start with a winch, a 1000 meters cable pulls you like a glider into the air. At the highest point you disconnect the cable and then the world is yours! Air sports are known to many people as expensive to practice hard and to learn. But that is not true for paragliding. Paragliding is the most accessible of all air sports and very affordable.
The charm of paragliding is the simplicity. Although the achievements of 'our' wings get better every year, we're still capable of putting a full equipment in a single backpack. The first paragliders in the 80's flew in a few minutes from the top to the valley, but with the current material experienced pilots have flights of several hours are earlier norm than exception and there are record distances of over 400 km (2006) non-stop flying . It's also possible to fly by two, one pilot and one passenger, this is called biplace paragliding.
Who can do this wonderful sport? Almost anyone can learn to fly a paraglider. The minimum age of 14 years is required for BVVF affiliated schools. You do not need a very good condition and paragliding is definitely not weight training, though the first days of physical training are fairly intense. Both women and men practice paragliding with heart and passion, and both are represented in our club. Although women are still in the minority, however, their number is still growing. Young people learn about the sport in general a little easier, but people over 50 with no experience can successfully complete the training.
The paragliding equipment Every experienced pilot has his own opinion on what should include a complete equipment. If you walk to a peak that climbs 2000 meters above the valley, you can imagine you have other demands on your equipment (weight) than when the ski lift or the winch is pulling you up.
A 'basic' equipment usually looks like this: -The flying device (paraglider or wing) The wing allows us to continue to soar. On the ground it looks like a pile of fabric and lines, but in the sky is the device, filled with air, creating enough lift to keep us away from the ground. - The harness (the seat) The first armor seemed to be nothing more than a climbing harnesses, but these days it are comfortable seats with storage compartments, back protection and a place for the reserve parachute. - The reserve parachute For the (rare fortunately) situation that the screen does not fly anymore, we have a reserve parachute with us. It can be opened in seconds and allows us to safely reach the ground. Many pilots never use the reserve in their entire flying career, but still carry it always with them. - Tools An altimeter is usually required. A radio is essential during training, but also after the training is the radio for contact with other pilots and people on the ground. A compass or gps is handy when you are flying XC (cross distances). - Clothes Helmet and gloves are required for protection. Decent shoes are preffered to protect you on rough landings.
This is all you need to fly for hours. Some pilots have a special fly suite, a GPS, a compass, food, first aid kit, etc. with them. Pilots come in all shapes and sizes, from minimalism to gadget freaks and there is room for everyone in the free world of paragliding. | aerospace |

Science background Information: A satellite is an object that revolves around another object in a path called an orbit. Satellites can be either natural or artificial (man-made). Classroom Satellite Project Puts the Power of Space Exploration in Students’ Hands.
A STEM-based educational program powered by satellites is connecting outer space to the classroom. Ardusat has two satellites in orbit, with hopes to launch more by the end of the year. Satellites can be divided into five principal types: research, communications, weather, navigational, and applications.
Research satellites measure fundamental properties of outer space, e.g., magnetic fields, the flux of cosmic rays and micrometeorites, and properties of celestial objects that are difficult or impossible to observe from the earth.

Rocket launch physics explained rocket during launch in terms of the: – law of conservation of momentum how rocket engines work - duration: 4:41. Physics of rocket flight in order to understand the behaviour of rockets it is necessary to have a basic grounding in physics, in particular some of the principles of statics and dynamics this section looks at the relationships between distance, velocity, acceleration, force, work, impulse, energy and power. Newton's third law states that every action has an equal and opposite reaction in a rocket, burning fuel creates a push on the front of the rocket pushing it forward this creates an equal and opposite push on the exhaust gas backwards.
Rocket principles a rocket in its simplest form is a chamber enclosing a gas under pressure a small opening at one end of the chamber allows the gas to escape, and in doing so provides a thrust that propels the rocket in the opposite direction a good example of this is a balloon. A rocket blasting off the launch pad changes from a state of rest to a state of motion the third term important to understanding this law is unbalanced force if you hold a ball in your hand and keep it still, the ball is at rest.
Rocket physics, in the most basic sense, involves the application of newton's laws to a system with variable mass a rocket has variable mass because its mass decreases over time, as a result of its fuel (propellant) burning off.
Rocket physics plays a crucial role in the modern world from launching satellites into orbit to testing intercontinental ballistic missiles (icbms), principles of rocket mechanics have innumerable applications the guidance system has two main roles during the launch of a rocket: to provide stability for the rocket, and to control the. Ask an explainer q: how does a rocket relate to newton's three laws of motion a: like all objects, rockets are governed by newton's laws of motion the first law describes how an object acts when no force is acting upon it so, rockets stay still until a force is applied to move them likewise, once they're in motion, they won't stop until a.
Thrust of a rocket rocket thrust results from the high speed ejection of material and does not require any medium to push against conservation of momentum dictates that if material is ejected backward, the forward momentum of the remaining rocket must increase since an isolated system cannot change its net momentum.
Force (terminal velocity) at engine burnout, gravity and drag work to slow the rocket down when all upwards (vertical) velocity is lost, gravity causes the rocket to accelerate downwards, building velocity until either the recovery system deploys, terminal velocity is reached or the rocket impacts the ground. A rocket obtains thrust by the principle of action and reaction (newton's third law) as the rocket propellant ignites, it experiences a very large acceleration and exits the back of the rocket (as exhaust) at a very high velocity this backwards acceleration of the exhaust exerts a push force on the rocket in the opposite direction, causing the rocket to accelerate forward this is the essential principle behind the physics of rockets, and how rockets work.
The rocket mass m decreases dramatically during flight because most of the rocket is fuel to begin with, so that acceleration increases continuously, reaching a maximum just before the fuel is exhausted. When a rocket is launched there is an upthrust which is provided by the combustion of its engine however, during the launch a rocket initially remains still then gradually lifts off with increasing speed does this mean that the upthrust of the rocket increases gradually over the initial stages of.
For an object like a rocket, with a large change in mass during the flight, we must use the more accurate definition of the second law associated with the change in momentum for an external applied force, the change in velocity depends on the mass of the object. The guidance system has two main roles during the launch of a rocket: to provide stability for the rocket, and to control the rocket during maneuvers one component of the guidance system of a simple rocket is the fins, which act as the steering of the rocket. | aerospace |

Was lucky enough to go along on a helicopter ride around the Perth Airport to take photos of the airport and my works aircraft . Had to be at the airport for a 5 am take off on a Bell 206B Jetranger helicopter . The flight was with an aircraft photographer , flight sim landscape designer and the Pilot . We had to wait till about 545 before taking off as there was a fair bit of cloud cover holding back the light . the helicopter had all the doors removed for the flight so you were basically looking over the edge with just a seat belt holding you in . Photographing from a helicopter is a bit different from what Im used to with landscape photography , had no tripod for one , plus had to compensate for camera shakes plus there was a fair bit of vibration from the helicopter . The flight last for about 45mins and we ranged in height from 300ft to 1000ft around the airport and got around 150 images .
Will have some of my normal landscape images coming soon 🙂 | aerospace |

Russia's Baltic radar to monitor missile launches across Europe, Atlantic
MOSCOW: Russia's radar station in the Baltic exclave of Kaliningrad will monitor missile launches from the North Atlantic, as well as the future European missile defense system, the Aerospace Defense Forces chief said on Friday.
"We will be able to control the entire European continent and the Atlantic, including the European missile defense system," Lt. Gen. Oleg Ostapenko said.
The radar station is ready to go into operation as part of the national missile early warning attack system, he said.
In addition, Iskander tactical missiles will be deployed in the Kaliningrad region "in the near future," the general said.
Russia's air defense system will have the capability to intercept any type of missiles, any targets at any speed, including hypersonic ones, Defense Minister Anatoly Serdyukov said on Tuesday.
The new system, comprising air defense, missile defense, missile early warning attack and space control systems, should be up and running by December 1.
Ostapenko's remarks come after President Dmitry Medvedev said on Wednesday that Russia would move "advanced offensive weapon systems" to its European borders in response to a planned U.S.-backed NATO missile shield if talks on the project fail.
Moscow is seeking written, legally binding guarantees that the shield will not be directed against it. Washington, however, has refused to put its verbal assurances in writing.
Washington responded by saying it would not alter its plans for a European missile defense project, despite increasingly tough rhetoric from Moscow.

Kaliningrad missile early warning radar able to monitor Europe, North Atlantic - commander
MOSCOW: A radar station built in the Kaliningrad region will seriously enhance the information capabilities of Russia's missile early warning system, Russian Aerospace Defense Force Commander Lieut. Gen. Oleg Ostapenko told journalists on Friday.
"It will allow us to efficiently monitor missile launches over the entire European continent, as well as from the North Atlantic area, including the functioning and systems of the European missile defense shield," he said.
All efforts to build the radar in Kaliningrad and to put it into operation have already been completed, Ostapenko said.
"Specialists have already been trained and licensed to operate the station. We are prepared today to add this station to the general missile early warning system as soon as the supreme commander-in-chief issues such an order," he said.
The Kaliningrad-based radar has unprecedented qualities, he said.
"It will seriously expand the range of information gathering, enabling the country's supreme leadership to subsequently make decisions," the commander said.
The radar's technical and tactical features allow it to stand out among previous- generation radars. It is an ultra high frequency radar, which can measure parameters with a higher degree of accuracy.
"It consumes far less power, and the volume of its technological equipment is much smaller," Ostapenko said.
Such radars' new-generation advanced equipment has made it possible to seriously optimize their maintenance and cut personnel servicing them on a day-to-day basis, as compared with Dnepr-, Daryal- and Volga-type radars, he said.
"The results of this radar's preliminary trials showed that its main characteristics meet with required targets," the commander said.
High operational compatibility radars are built within a very short period of time, he said.
"This technology allows us to improve the station's technical capabilities of target detection, should such a need arise," Ostepenko said.
Russia's Voronezh-DM ultra high frequency, over-the-horizon long-range high operational compatibility radar has been deployed in the village of Pionerskoye in the Kaliningrad region. The radar is capable of detecting ballistic targets within a range of 4,000 kilometers to 6,000 kilometers. | aerospace |

The Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) has decided to ground several of its C-27J Spartans after the discovery of structural cracking in these aircraft. This move follows the US Coast Guard’s decision to suspend the use of all 14 of its Spartans, citing the presence of cracks of varying degrees. The US Coast Guard stated that their Spartans would remain grounded until a thorough evaluation could be completed.
The manufacturer, Leonardo, had previously issued an Alert Service Bulletin instructing operators, including the RAAF and US Coast Guard, as well as the military forces of Italy, Mexico, and other nations, to inspect for cracks near the attachment points of the horizontal and vertical stabilizers to the fuselage.
A spokesperson for the Australian Defence said that the Royal Australian Air Force had initiated inspections on its C-27J fleet and identified similar structural issues. Aircraft found to have cracking will not be flown until a comprehensive engineering assessment has been conducted.
Leonardo issued a statement reassuring that the problem is fixable and should have minimal impact on operations. The manufacturer has already identified a repair solution, which can be implemented at customer premises by the operators without requiring significant effort. Leonardo emphasized that the reported issue is not expected to affect planned aircraft operations.
As of now, Australia operates 10 C-27J Spartans through No. 35 Squadron at RAAF Base Amberley. This squadron primarily focuses on peacetime operations such as search and rescue and aeromedical missions. The RAAF initially acquired the C-27J as a replacement for the Caribou, intending to fill the gap between the Chinook and the larger Hercules and C-17 Globemaster aircraft. | aerospace |

Ultra-precise navigation allows groups of small satellites to work together to outperform single larger units
7 April 2019
Man-made satellites getting smaller and more plentiful as scientists discover that groups of satellites working together can carry out many of the tasks currently performed by large, single devices more effectively and at lower cost.
A collection of small satellites working in unison is often called a distributed space system.
Basic forms are already in operation, such as constellations of satellites orbiting along similar trajectories, controlled centrally to provide constant communications coverage. There are also plans to develop them to perform complex tasks requiring groups of partially autonomous machines that can communicate with each other and fly in a precise formation to achieve a common goal. These could, for instance, deliver fuel or replacement parts to other satellites in orbit. More ambitiously, multiple small units could be launched into space separately and later autonomously assemble into a space station, or a craft designed for planetary exploration.
These smaller, distributed systems may be cheaper to launch, less prone to failure and easier to repair; but they require levels of navigational accuracy and positional responsiveness that are hard to achieve with current technology. “You need a higher degree of precision to enable these smaller satellites to interact, work closely together and possibly connect,” says Hesham Shageer, an assistant research professor at KACST. Shageer is also the principal investigator on a project working on navigation systems to control the next generation of miniaturized distributed space systems at the Centre of Excellence for Aeronautics and Astronautics (CEAA), a research collaboration between KACST and Stanford University in California.
The development of smaller electronic components and sensors have, in recent years, allowed satellite makers to pack greater functionality into increasingly smaller units. “Two key technologies are revolutionizing the way humans conduct spaceflight: the miniaturization of satellites and the distribution of payload tasks among multiple coordinated units,” says Shageer.
Keeping satellites on track
At the heart of the technology underpinning the group’s efforts is an instrument called the Modular Gravitational Reference Sensor (MGRS). Researchers at Stanford University first proposed the MGRS in 2004 as a way to achieve the precise position sensing and orbit stability a constellation of satellites would need to detect gravitational waves. These tiny ripples in space and time, caused by the movement of massive astronomical bodies, were first predicted by Einstein’s theory of general relativity, and detected for the first time in 2016 by ground-based detectors.
In essence, the MGRS is a box containing a metal sphere that, when on board a satellite in space, floats free at its centre, shielded from all non-gravitational forces, such as air resistance, solar wind, radiation pressure, and electro-magnetic forces. Within the box, optical sensors keep track of the precise position of the sphere. Its movement with respect to the box signals a shift in position of the satellite and allows for the precise measurement of gravitational forces. Thrusters can then be used to immediately counter the effects of gravity, and return the satellite to its orbit, and the sphere to its original central position.
Different forms of optical sensors can be used to keep track of the position of the sphere. The latest version of the MGRS developed by the Stanford University team uses a device called a Differential Optical Shadow Sensor (DOSS), in which pairs of laser beams are directed from the inner walls of the box at the outer edges of the sphere.
When the DOSS is in the centre of the box, the sphere’s edges block half of the light from each beam which would otherwise reach detectors positioned opposite their sources. Movement of the ball with respect to the box changes the intensity of the light reaching the detectors, allowing any change in position of the satellite to be measured. Four pairs of beams and detectors are positioned perpendicular to each other to track movement in three dimensions.
When a satellite moves through low-Earth orbit, it is affected by drag, which is the force generated by air resistance. The sphere at the centre of the DOSS is unaffected by drag, but the satellite itself is. The detection of this difference triggers the thrusters to amend the trajectory of the satellite in such a way that it can operate as if it was free from drag.
The latest prototype has also been redesigned to reduce noise and improve accuracy through the use of a fibre-coupled super luminescent light-emitting diode as the light source, a well-contained single structure and new amplifier electronics. The DOSS is able to check for small movements more frequently than other tools such as interferometers, which recombine beams of light after they have been split and made to travel along different optical paths. Satellites equipped with a DOSS can therefore make readjustments to their trajectories more quickly and achieve improved navigational precision.
“The position of the sphere within the laser beams provides a feedback loop to the satellite’s control thrusters which act in response to gravity to maintain the sphere in position,” says Shageer. “Existing technology allows the satellite navigation and control to be accurate to within a few metres, somewhere in the 3-5 metre range. With this newer technology, we could improve that to an accuracy of within a few centimetres.”
Working on resilience, accuracy and affordability
Plans to develop and test the sensor formed one of six collaborative research projects launched in 2014 with the creation of the CEAA. While Stanford University researchers had originally worked on the MGRS primarily for its potential as an astrophysics experimental tool, KACST scientists focused on demonstrating its capabilities and developing practical applications. Tests were carried out on a prototype form of the MGRS on board SaudiSat-4, a Saudi Arabian satellite launched in 2014. “It achieved all the performance requirements we had set for it,” says Shageer.
Shageer and his CEAA colleagues are working on new motion planning algorithms and software to allow the further development of distributed space systems with navigation capabilities that are accurate to within a few centimetres. They are using estimation theory, a branch of statistics designed to estimate variables when some parameters are missing, such as the location of a satellite that has stopped communicating. The group is also investigating the use of vision-based navigation, in which images collected by cameras on a satellite are used to amend its trajectory. They have been using Stanford University’s GNSS Navigation Testbed for Distributed Space Systems to test their novel algorithms.
The group aims to gather more data from the experiment on board SaudiSat 4 to further determine how it has performed over the past few years. Shageer also hopes CEAA’s work on motion planning algorithms and vision-based navigation will feed into NASA’s Restore-L mission, which aims to launch a robotic spacecraft in 2022 that can, for the first time, meet and refuel a satellite in low-Earth orbit. If the mission is a success, the spacecraft of tomorrow could be more affordable, sustainable, and resilient.

Measuring just 98 x 92.5 x 41mm and weighs less than 0.55 lbs. so the FAA drone registration requirement doesn’t apply. The Tello drone is best suited to be flown inside thanks to compact airframe which make it easier to fly indoors. It’ll only be able to fly outside when there’s no wind at all. You can fly the drone straight from your smartphone or with an additional controller. However, using a controller makes everything much easier flying than directly from a smartphone so you may want to consider adding that accessory.
The Tello pack with the same flight stabilization technology and Intel Movidius Myriad 2 VPU same as the larger DJI Spark, which means you can launch it from your palm and control it with hand motions. However, Tello drone’s camera utilizes a 5-megapixel sensor that can only record 720p videos – the Spark has a 12-megapixel camera capable of capturing Full HD 1080p footage. The 5-megapixel camera isn’t fantastic, but it’ll do just fine on social media platforms where the quality is downgraded anyway. Tello is also useful when you want to chuck it in your backpack on a walk to get some worthy aerial shots. Flight time also cuts off at a maximum 13 minutes, compared to the Spark’s 16-minute battery life, although it’s astonishing that a drone this small can fly for so long. You won’t be going anywhere quick with this drone either – its max speed tops out at an 8m/s.
On the plus side, the Tello comes with special features you won’t find even on DJI’s drones. For one thing, the control interface includes a flip button for being fancy in the air or dodging any Nerf darts at a party. There are also several flight modes, including ones for shooting a quick 360-degree video and having the drone fly away and upward from you in one smooth motion. Ryze Tello owners will also be able to program their own flight patterns at home, using an included coding tool called Scratch, an MIT-developed coding system that allows kids to learn the basics of programming while having fun. Advanced users can also develop software applications for Tello using SDK.
Ryze Tello brings some serious performance to the world of tiny drones. It comes in at a dramatically low price that blows the competition out of the water. Great drone for kids or beginner who would like to experience the drone-flying world without breaking the bank.

Phoenix-Air is an African budget airline. Typical of all budget airlines, Phoenix-Air focus on cost management and high operational efficiency. For example,
Operating no-frills flight with destination in 2nd tier cities to reduce landing cost.
• Do only point-to-point flight, avoiding the need and potential complications of transferring passengers.
• Flying with a handful of aircraft types (less than three) to reduce variation, build economy-of-scale and streamlining its operational process and maintenance.
• Leverage on the internet and digitisation technology, i.e. e-commerce, automated checking in, baggage tagging, customer service chatbots to
• Land and flight staff are expected to multi-task, i.e. pilots could double up as a cleaning crew after all passengers alighted the flight as it prepares for the turnaround
Information on Phoenix-Air:
• Rank 8th on the ‘on-time arrival’ ranking by the regional African aviation authority, out of a total of 44 airlines, of which 30 are classified as budget airlines.
• Phoenix-Air pays a competitive remuneration package. The airline is considered by many as one of the top-5 employers in the airlines' industry in the African continent.
• The airline recently experiences an increase in work absentees resulting in flights delay, impacting the on-time arrival at their destinations. As a result, 50 flights (mostly latenight outbound) were cancelled. This is an increase from the preceding year.
• Recent customer survey indicates that customers are satisfied with the airline: airfares, service quality (ground handling and in-flight), aircraft cleanliness, Flight safety, flight scheduling and timeliness. The one area that did not score well is on the e-commerce booking platform. Customers commented that it is not intuitive and multiple steps are required to complete a booking, making it a tedious affair. This is exacerbated in places where the internet reception is poor. Calling the airline means a long wait, and when connected, the sales agents are not knowledgeable about the product nor have the authority to handle the request.
• The number of passengers carried by the airline has grown steadily. In 2018, the airline carried 800,000 passengers on 7,200 flights. One key reason for this growth is that the company enjoys either a duopolistic or monopoly on 30% of its routes.
With the liberalisation of airspace in the African continent, Phoenix Air will lose it oligopolistic hold on air routes. The company will have to prepare itself to face competition.
a) Analyse the four (4) perspectives of the balanced scorecard.
(b) Assess whether the balanced scorecard (BSC) approach should be used here. In the above scenario, is BSC a more appropriate performance measurement tool than the traditional financial approach i.e. relying on financial performance measures?
(c) Develop a balanced scorecard for Phoenix-Air. Propose one (1) goal along with a corresponding performance measure for each of the BSC perspectives. | aerospace |

The National Transportation Safety Board (“NTSB”) recently released its statistical data calculating transportation fatalities across all modes of transportation in 2011. There were 494 fatalities in aviation. The breakdown was as follows: general aviation, 444; air taxi, 41; foreign/unregistered, 9; airlines, 0; commuter, 0.
In comparing the 2011 data against the prior decade or so, there are certainly positive signs. But, like all raw statistics, the numbers are most useful when integrated into a longitudinal data comparison from which conclusions are drawn. The NTSB fatality statistics draw a conclusion that might not be obvious from the 2011 data alone: Human error absolutely dominates as the leading cause of aviation fatalities (and injuries).
There are two keys to avoiding aviation fatalities: developing and following good SOPs and CRM procedures. This article will examine some of the persistent human causes of aviation accidents, many of which are merely outgrowths of the failure of aviation organizations to develop, adhere to, and not willfully disregard SOPs. The second cause of aviation fatalities examined in this article is the failure of flight deck crews to follow CRM procedures. Complications that lead to failure to follow CRM procedures include factors such as cockpit chaos; multi-lingual cockpits; failure to maintain cockpit discipline; surprise; and failure, during emergencies, to rely on the crew member with the most flight time, if appropriate given the constitution of the crew as a whole.
Accidents Can Be Avoided Through Proper Cockpit Procedures and Compliance With SOPs
On September 16, 2013, NTSB Member Robert Sumwalt (“Member Sumwalt”) gave a presentation to the Southern California Aviation Association on the importance of SOPs. Member Sumwalt, quoting from an NTSB accident report, noted that, “[w]ell-designed cockpit procedures are an effective countermeasure against operational errors, and disciplined compliance with SOPs, including strict cockpit discipline, provides the basis for effective crew coordination and performance.”
Member Sumwalt then presented facts about what the accident data show regarding crew-caused accidents. In an NTSB study of 37 crew-caused air carrier accidents between 1978 and 1990, procedural errors, such as not making required callouts or failing to use appropriate checklists, were found in 29 of the 37 (78%) reviewed accidents. The accident data also show that, with respect to turbine-powered operations (2001-2010), the NTSB identified at least 86 accidents involving lack of adequate procedures, policies, or checklists, or lack of flight crew adherence to procedures, policies, or checklists. These accidents resulted in 149 fatalities.
Developing Effective SOPs
The development of SOPs in various industries has been accomplished through a variety of regulatory bodies, industry groups, and volunteerism. One of the first groups to establish such guidelines was the International Conference on Harmonisation (ICH), which defines SOPs as “detailed written instructions to achieve uniformity of the performance of a specific function.” The international quality standard (“ISO”) 9001 essentially requires the establishment of SOPs for any manufacturing process that could affect the quality of the product. Although ICH’s implementation of the ISO 9001 SOPs was in the context of clinical drug trials, a substantially similar system has been expanded to other industries.
In the context of aviation, the SOP provides a flight crew with a step-by-step guide to effectively and safely carry out operations. A particular SOP must not only achieve the task at hand but also be understood by a crew of various backgrounds and experiences within the organization. SOPs can also be developed over time to incorporate improvements based on experience, accidents, near misses, or innovations from other manufacturers or operators to suit the needs of a particular organization. SOPs can also provide employees with a reference to common business practices, activities, or tasks. New employees use SOPs to answer questions without having to interrupt supervisors to ask how an operation is performed.
Although reference is made to ISO 9001 in the context of clinical trials, the ISO 9000 family of standards is related to quality management systems and designed to help organizations follow consistent procedures to meet the needs of customers and other stakeholders. “AS 9000” is the Aerospace Basic Quality System Standard–an interpretation developed and adopted by virtually all the major aerospace manufacturers. The current version is AS 9100C. A new version of the standard will be published in September 2015 if the ISO members vote favorably in March 2015.
The Failure of Flight Crews to Comply With SOPs and the Consequences
During his remarks on flight crew error, Member Sumwalt cited a Boeing study of accident prevention strategies where the data suggested that the single most important factor in prevention of hull loss accidents over a ten-year period was pilot flying (PF) adherence to SOPs. Member Sumwalt noted that SOPs are typically not followed for three specific reasons. He discussed each reason, and then used data from an NTSB investigation, or preliminary cause report, as support or illustration for each of the three reasons.
The reasons SOPs are typically not followed are:
(1) the organization lacks adequate SOPs;
(2) the organization doesn’t adhere to their SOPs; and
(3) flight crews intentionally disregard SOPs.
SOPs should be clear, comprehensive, and readily available in the manuals used by flight deck crew members. Member Sumwalt provided three real-life corollary examples:
- The Organization Lacks Adequate SOPs – Crash of East Coast Jets, Hawker Beechcraft BAe 800, on July 31, 2008, Owatonna, Minnesota (8 fatalities)
The NTSB found that, although as a charter operator, East Coast Jets was not required to incorporate SOPs into its operations manual, if it had done so, it may have supported the accident pilots in establishing cockpit discipline and, therefore, a safer cockpit environment. An example was provided where the SOP identifies the triggering event, designates which crewmember performs the action or callout, what the callout is, and what the action is.
- The Organization Fails to Adhere to Its Established SOPs – Crash of Cessna 310, N501N, July 10, 2007, Sanford, Florida (5 fatalities)
In this case the organization did not adhere to SOPs. The aviation director could not locate the SOP manual, which was viewed as merely a training tool. The aircraft was to be used only for company business, but the accident flight was a personal flight. The Pilot in Command (“PIC”) must possess an Airline Transport Pilot (“ATP”) Certificate/Rating, but the PIC did not possess the necessary ATP. The last three maintenance discrepancies had not been addressed. The NTSB noted that these lapses were contrary to industry guidelines directing that procedures should be written in accordance with the organization’s operating methods, and once the procedures are in place, the organization should make every effort to follow those procedures. Having a strong commitment to standardization and discipline were among the key elements of safe operations observed in a Boeing study. Cockpit procedural language is tightly controlled to maintain consistency and to avoid confusion from non-standard callouts. Callouts and responses should be done verbatim.
- Flight Crews Intentionally Disregard Established SOPs – Hard Landing of US Airways Express, January 19, 2010, Charleston, West Virginia
The NTSB probable cause determination was “the flight crewmembers’ unprofessional behavior, including their non-adherence to sterile cockpit procedures by engaging in non-pertinent conversation, which distracted them from their primary flight-related duties and led to their failure to correctly set and verify the flaps.” Intentional crew non-compliance was a factor in 40% of the worldwide accidents reviewed.
NTSB Member Sumwalt concluded by noting that well-designed SOPs are essential for safety. Making a strong commitment to procedural compliance should be a core value of the organization. The SOPs must not merely exist, but they must be religiously followed as a way of doing business.
Well-Coordinated CRM is a Crucial Part of Accident Prevention
CRM is a set of training procedures for use in environments where human error can have devastating effects. Used primarily for improving air safety, CRM focuses on interpersonal communication, leadership, and decision making in the cockpit.
CRM grew out of an NTSB analysis of the crash of United Airlines flight 173 where the plane, a DC-8, ran out of fuel while troubleshooting a landing gear problem over Portland Oregon. The NTSB issued its landmark recommendation on June 7, 1979, to require CRM training for airline crews. A few weeks later, NASA held a workshop on the topic, endorsing this innovative training. United Airlines was the first airline to provide CRM training for its cockpit crews in 1981.
Since that time, CRM training concepts have been modified for application to a wide range of activities where people must make dangerous time-critical decisions. These arenas include air traffic control, ship handling, firefighting, and medical operating rooms.
The Difficulty of Precisely Executing CRM Procedures In a Multicultural Cockpit
Multiculturalism in the cockpit is a largely recent phenomenon. Globalization and shrinking militaries around the world have led to a decrease in the availability of trained pilots, a lack of homogenous flight crews, and the emergence of multicultural cockpits. In 2005, a Helios Airways Boeing 737-300, with its pilots incapacitated by hypoxia after they failed to recognize a cabin pressurization system malfunction, provides a good example of what can happen when communication and crew resource management break down in the multicultural cockpit. All 121 people on the airplane were killed when the 737 depressurized and ran out of fuel, the engines flamed out, and the airplane crashed, after what was to have been a flight from Larnaca, Cyprus, to Prague, Czech Republic, with a stop in Athens.
In its final report on the accident, the Hellenic Air Accident Investigation and Aviation Safety Board said the crew had failed to recognize that the cabin pressurization mode selector was in the wrong position. The Helios crew exhibited poor CRM before takeoff and during climb, and the difference in their nationalities and primary languages–the captain was German, the first officer was Cyprian–contributed to poor communication during the event. A blaring cabin altitude warning horn and the illumination of master caution lights degraded the crew’s cognitive abilities and processes. Inter-cockpit communications were reduced, perhaps in part because English was a second or third language for the crew.
The CRM Lessons Learned From Air France 447–“Crew Coordination Vanished”
On March 27, 1977, two Boeing 747s crashed on the single runway on the Spanish island of Tenerife, killing 583 people. More than 35 years later, it is still measured by the number of casualties, and is by far the worst aviation disaster in history. One aspect of the accident, unlike many tragic and significant disasters, is that the non-aviation community was fixated on the Tenerife crash, the individuals involved, and exactly what the sequence of events was. Arguably the next time both the aviation community and the non-aviation community became as fixated on an aviation disaster was the 2009 crash of Air France 447.
Within four and a half minutes in the early hours of June 1, 2009, an Airbus A330-200 operating as Air France Flight 447 from Rio de Janeiro to Paris, departed from cruise flight at 35,000 feet and descended into the Atlantic Ocean, killing all 216 passengers and 12 crewmembers. Glimpses of what may have gone wrong emerged from the several interim reports issued by the French Bureau d’Enquetes et d’Analyses (BEA) during the long investigation. In July, 2012, the BEA issues a nearly 300-page final report.
According to the report, the trouble began when the A330’s pitot tubes were obstructed by ice crystals, causing the various air data sources to produce unreliable airspeed information. Reacting as designed, the autopilot and autothrottle disengaged, and reverted to a lower control law that provides fewer protections against flight-envelope deviations. Startled, the pilot flying (“PF”) inadvertently commanded a steep nose-up pitch change while leveling the airplane’s wings. The flight crew–a copilot and a relief pilot filling in for the resting captain–recognized the loss of reliable airspeed data but did not conduct the associated checklist procedure. As a result, “[c]onfusion reigned on the flight deck, and crew coordination vanished.” Without automatic angle-of-attack protection, the airplane entered a stall. The crew either believed that the stall warnings were spurious or mistook the airframe buffeting as a sign of an overspeed condition. When the resting captain was called to return to the flight deck, he continued to apply nose-up flight inputs, when, at such a low altitude, the only possible chance to get the plane back into the flight envelope would have been nose-down inputs. In addition, the PF almost immediately took back priority without any callout and continued piloting. The priority takeover by the PF contributed to the de-structuring of the task-sharing between the pilots. No recovery action was taken, and the A330 remained in a stall as it descended into the sea.
Additional sections of the BEA final report comment on the fragmented nature of the augmented crew, and the fact that some junior officers had far more flight hours in type than some of the more senior crew members, further eroding the opportunity for effective CRM in a surprise situation.
SOPs and CRM Must be Properly Implemented and Adhered To
Disciplined implementation of, and adherence to, SOPs is inseparable from the disciplined implementation of, and adherence to, CRM. Although this article only scratches the surface on data supporting this conclusion, it is an irrebuttable presumption that if flight crews fully embrace SOPs and CRM, flying will be safer.
