Spirit Airlines passengers are going nowhere fast today...
Hundreds of them remain stranded at Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport--due to mechanical issues with their flights.
Broward Sheriff's Deputies are there trying to calm things down.
Miramar-based Spirit spokeswoman Misty Pinson issued this statement this morning:
“Following the engine failure on one of our aircraft last week, and after reviewing routine maintenance procedures, we are completing a proactive and voluntary check on our aircraft engines overnight as a precautionary measure. These checks take approximately 45 minutes per aircraft. Some flights are experiencing significant delays as we complete the checks. Each aircraft is being returned to service as soon as the check is completed. We apologize for these delays. We are working diligently to get our customers where they need to go as quickly as possible. We expect all checks to be completed this morning. As always, the safety of our customers is our number one priority.”

Tampa International Airport (IATA: TPA) is located in Tampa, Florida, in the US. It has a central 'landside' terminal with people movers connecting passengers to satellite 'airside' gates, which was a pioneering and celebrated design when it was introduced in the 60s. The airport handles around 20 million passengers a year, with international services including flights to Canada, Mexico, the UK and countries in the Caribbean.
Interestingly, Tampa Bay is the birthplace of commercial air service- Pioneer aviator Tony Jannus flew the first scheduled commercial flight on January 1st 1914 from St Petersburg, Florida to Tampa in a flying boat. First opened in 1928 as Drew Field, the airport was used by the Air Force during World War2, and expanded and modernised during this time. After the war domestic and then international flights began, and the airport was renamed Tampa International Airport.
The Terminal used now was built in 1971. There are now 4 active airsides, each different to accomodate the needs of their occupying airlines, and 62 gates. There are plans to build a second 'North Terminal' in the near future.
Here are some of the major Airlines that service Tampa International Airport:

Todd Reichert obtained his B.A.Sc. from University of Toronto Engineering Science (Aerospace Option) in 2005, and his Ph.D. in 2011 from the U of T Institute for Aerospace Studies (UTIAS). Cameron Robertson obtained his B.A.Sc. from U of T Engineering Science (Aerospace Option) in 2008, and his M.A.Sc. in 2009 also at UTIAS. Todd and Cameron led the team that designed and built the Snowbird Human-Powered Ornithopter. On August 2nd 2010, the Snowbird became the first human-powered flapping-wing aircraft to sustain flight (as overseen and certified by the FAI). Todd and Cameron were named co-recipients of the CASI Trans-Canada McKee Trophy, one of the most prestigious awards in Canadian Aerospace.
More recently, Todd and Cameron established AeroVelo Inc, a company dedicated to lightweight engineering design and efficient human-powered transportation. Their current focus is the Atlas Human-Powered Helicopter Project with the aim of capturing the 30-year old Sikorsky Prize, for the first flight of a human-powered helicopter to exceed 60 seconds duration and reach 3m in height. The team is largely comprised of undergraduates from U of T Engineering and several other Canadian universities. For this project AeroVelo was awarded the FAI's Prince Alvaro d'Orleans Borbon Grant, for the fostering of aerospace education and increasing the exposure of sporting aviation.


First, I believe that this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to the earth. No single space project in this period will be more impressive to mankind, or more important for the long-range exploration of space; and none will be so difficult or expensive to accomplish.
We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too.
The vehicle explodes, literally explodes, off the pad. The simulator shakes you a little bit, but the actual liftoff shakes your entire body and soul.

DALLAS – The largest-sized American flag aboard the most important flight in the history of the US Space Program, owned and signed by the mission’s command module pilot Michael Collins, soared to $162,500 to lead Heritage Auctions’ Space Exploration Signature® Auction to $2,591,768 June 2-3.
The result for the Apollo 11-flown American flag, certified by Collins and directly from his personal collection with accompanying signed certificate, with CAG certification reached a new stratosphere, touching down at more than four times its estimate to lead the nearly sold-out event, which drew 1,755 bidders in pursuit of more than 1,000 lots and generated sell-through rates of better than 99 percent by value and by lots sold.
The flag led the collection of Collins, who famously flew aboard Apollo 11, the first manned mission to reach the moon, with Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin. Collins kept the flag as a treasured souvenir of the historic mission. At 17¾ inches by 11½ inches, the incredibly rare silk flag is the largest size typically flown by Apollo missions. Written in black ink on the Collectibles Authentication Guaranty-certified flag: “Carried to the Moon on Apollo XI, July 1969- /Michael Collins CMP.” Bidding on the flag persisted for more than seven minutes with multiple bidders.
“Michael Collins is among the most important astronauts in the history of space travel, and the results of this auction surpassed our loftiest expectations,” Heritage Auctions Space Exploration consignment director Brad Palmer said. “We knew the interest in the flag would be sky-high because mission-flown flags of that size (17¾ by 11½ inches) are in exceedingly high demand among serious space collectors. This is a fantastic flag, owned and signed by Michael Collins, and it ended up serving as an outstanding launching point for the entire auction.”
From the same historic mission came an Apollo 11-flown and crew-signed Beta cloth from the Collins collection, CAG-certified, that more than tripled its estimate when it reached $137,500. In the center of the cloth is a circular insignia (diameter: 3-3/8 inches) that was designed by Collins and shows an eagle carrying an olive branch to the moon with Earth in the distance over the eagle’s right shoulder. After the mission, Collins wrote: “Carried to the moon aboard Apollo XI/ July 1969″ and signed it, as did Armstrong and Aldrin. Made with fire-safe Fiberglass Beta yarns, Beta cloth was used in the space suits worn by the Apollo astronauts.
Three lots brought six-figure results; the third was an Apollo 11-flown and used star chart with handwritten annotations, signed and CAG-certified, which ended at $125,000 – more than three times its estimate. The chart is a vital piece of documentation from the Apollo 11 mission, depicting dozens of stars and constellations and features numerous handwritten annotations by Collins, with the following written on the left border: “During the flight of/ Apollo Eleven,/ I used this chart/ to help me locate stars. The/ numbers were/ entered into/ the Command/ Module Computer/ Michael/ Collins/ CMP.”
The auction included 19 flags, including an Apollo 11-flown American flag signed and certified by Collins, from his personal collection with accompanying signed certificate, CAG-certified, that reached $81,250 and a framed Apollo 11-flown American flag on a crew-signed presentation certificate that sold for $75,000.
Mission-flown Robbins medallions always hold significant appeal to collectors, and this sale was no exception. All told, the event included 23 assorted Robbins medallions, including an Apollo 11-flown MS67 NGC sterling silver Robbins medallion (serial number 300) that went for $52,500 and an Apollo 11-flown MS66 NGC sterling silver Robbins medallion (serial number 357) that closed at $36,250.
An Apollo 11-flown “Flight Plan,” with annotations handwritten by Collins nearly quintupled its estimate when it drew a winning bid of $47,500. Measuring 6½ by 8 inches, the page is numbered “89B” and comes from the Command Module Pilot Solo Book that was flown and used aboard Columbia. The heavily annotated page addresses LM Insertion and covers the time between 124:30 and 125:00. It has been signed in black ink along bottom: “Michael Collins/ CMP” and “A flown page from the Apollo XI/ Flight Plan/ Michael Collins CMP” on the verso, making it an extremely important relic from this historic flight. The lot included a handwritten letter of authenticity from Collins stating he kept this page due to the stretch of time it covered when he was supposed to be “the loneliest human ever.”
A dozen bids came in for an Apollo 11-flown Pilot’s Preference Kit (PPK), signed and certified by Collins before it found a new home at $40,000. The kit includes a Beta cloth bag with a sewn-on tag that reads “Kit Pilot’s Preference/P/N SEB 12100018-202/ S/N 1071.” Collins signed and annotated that same tag, as well as the notes. Written directly below the tag is: “Flown to the Moon/ Aboard Apollo XI.” Accompanying the kit is a handwritten note on Collins’ letterhead, vouching for the authenticity of the kit. Flown PPK’s are scarce and among the most highly coveted of flown space artifacts.
Prices quoted include the buyer’s premium as reported by the auction house. For information, www.ha.com or 214-528-3500.

15 Most Influential Women of NASA
May 26th is Sally Ride Day, Sally Ride Day honors the first American woman astronaut to go into space. Dr. Ride joined NASA in 1978 and became the first American woman in space in 1983. Ride was the third woman in space overall, after USSR cosmonauts Valentina Tereshkova and Svetlana Savitskaya. In honor of her accomplishment and in recognition of all of the amazing women scientists who have contributed their part to NASA, we have compiled the NASA’s 15 Most Influential Women.
Bios & Photos are credits of NASA unless otherwise noted
Katherine Johnson In 1962, as NASA prepared for the orbital mission of John Glenn, Johnson was called upon to do the work that she would become most known for. The complexity of the orbital flight had required the construction of a worldwide communications network, linking tracking stations around the world to IBM computers in Washington, Cape Canaveral in Florida, and Bermuda. The computers had been programmed with the orbital equations that would control the trajectory of the capsule in Glenn’s Friendship 7 mission from liftoff to splashdown, but the astronauts were wary of putting their lives in the care of the electronic calculating machines, which were prone to hiccups and blackouts. As a part of the preflight checklist, Glenn asked engineers to “get the girl”—Johnson—to run the same numbers through the same equations that had been programmed into the computer, but by hand, on her desktop mechanical calculating machine. “If she says they’re good,’” Katherine Johnson remembers the astronaut saying, “then I’m ready to go.” Glenn’s flight was a success, and marked a turning point in the competition between the United States and the Soviet Union in space.
Dorothy Vaughan In an era when NASA is led by an African American man (Administrator Charles Bolden) and a woman (Deputy Administrator Dava Newman), and when recent NASA Center Directors come from a variety of backgrounds, it's easy to overlook the people who paved the way for the agency's current robust and diverse workforce and leadership. Those who speak of NASA's pioneers rarely mention the name Dorothy Vaughan, but as the head of the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics’ (NACA’s) segregated West Area Computing Unit from 1949 until 1958, Vaughan was both a respected mathematician and NASA's first African-American manager.
Mary Jackson began her engineering career in an era in which female engineers of any background were a rarity; in the 1950s, she very well may have been the only black female aeronautical engineer in the field. For nearly two decades she enjoyed a productive engineering career, authoring or co-authoring a dozen or so research reports, most focused on the behavior of the boundary layer of air around airplanes. As the years progressed, the promotions slowed, and she became frustrated at her inability to break into management-level grades. In 1979, seeing that the glass ceiling was the rule rather than the exception for the center’s female professionals, she made a final, dramatic career change, leaving engineering and taking a demotion to fill the open position of Langley’s Federal Women’s Program Manager. There, she worked hard to impact the hiring and promotion of the next generation of all of NASA’s female mathematicians, engineers, and scientists.
Kitty O'Brien Joyner was an American electrical engineer with the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA), and then with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) upon its replacement of NACA in 1958. She was the first woman to graduate from the University of Virginia's engineering program in 1939, receiving the Algernon Sydney Sullivan Award upon graduation. When she was hired by NACA the same year, she became the first woman engineer at the organization, eventually rising to the title Branch Head and managing several of its wind tunnels. Her work contributed to research on aeronautics, supersonic flight, airfoils, and aircraft design standards.
Jeanette Scissum joined NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in 1964 after earning bachelor's and master's degrees in mathematics from Alabama A&M University. Scissum published a NASA report in 1967, “Survey of Solar Cycle Prediction Models,” which put forward techniques for improved forecasting of the sunspot cycle. In the mid-1970s she worked as a space scientist in the Space Environment Branch of Marshall’s Space Sciences Laboratory and later led activities in Marshall’s Atmospheric, Magnetospheric, and Plasmas in Space project. In 1975, Scissum wrote an article for the National Technical Association, “Equal Employment Opportunity and the Supervisor – A Counselor’s View,” which argued that many discrimination complaints could be avoided “through adequate and meaningful communication.” Scissum later worked at NASA Headquarters as a computer systems analyst responsible for analyzing and directing NASA management information and technical support systems.
Kathryn Hire joined the NASA team in 1989 where she worked as a space shuttle orbiter mechanical systems engineer, test project engineer, and supervisor of space shuttle orbiter mechanical systems and launch pad access swing arms at Kennedy Space Center. Hire processed space shuttles from landing through ground preparations and launch countdowns for more than 40 missions. Hire flew to space on a second mission aboard Space Shuttle Endeavour for STS-130 in 2010 to help assemble the International Space Station. Hire and her crewmates delivered and outfitted Node 3, also known as the Tranquility module, and the Cupola, a seven-windowed portal for the space station which has been a focal point of the station since installation. As a mission specialist, Hire operated the robotic arms, led the transfer of 4,500 pounds of cargo and helped install water recycling, air cleaning and cooling, and crew exercise equipment in Node 3 and cupola. Between her space flights, Hire supported missions in various roles including Capsule Communicator (CAPCOM) in mission control, Astronaut Support Personnel where she strapped crew members into the space shuttle orbiter for launch, and management astronaut in which she helped develop procedures for commercial spacecraft carrying cargo to the International Space Station.
Kathryn Peddrew graduated from college with a degree in Chemistry in 1943. As an African American woman, she faced many challenges while pursuing a career in the sciences during this period. Hired right after graduation, Peddrew was assigned to the West Area Computers at Langley, and began a career at NACA/NASA that spanned forty-three years. Involved in both aeronautical and aerospace research, Peddrew recalled the excitement at Langley when the first astronauts trained there, and the many breakthroughs made during the early space program.
Melba Roy Mouton was Assistant Chief of Research Programs at NASA's Trajectory and Geodynamics Division in the 1960s and headed a group of NASA mathematicians called "computers". Starting as a mathematician, she was ahead mathematician for Echo Satellites 1 and 2, and she worked up to being a Head Computer Programmer and then Program Production Section Chief at Goddard Space Flight Center. Mouton was born in Fairfax, Virginia to Rhodie and Edna Chloe. She graduated from Howard University in 1950 with a master's degree in mathematics. She started working for NASA in 1959, after working for the Army Map Service and the Census Bureau. At NASA, she received an Apollo Achievement Award and an Exceptional Performance Award. She retired in 1973 and passed away in 1990 of a brain tumor. She was 61.
Annie Easley began her career in 1955 as a “human computer,” doing computations for researchers. This involved analyzing problems and doing calculations by hand. When hired, she was one of only four African-American employees at the Lab. When human computers were replaced by machines, Easley evolved along with the technology. She became an adept computer programmer, using languages like the Formula Translating System (Fortran) and the Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) to support a number of NASA’s programs. She developed and implemented code used in researching energy-conversion systems, analyzing alternative power technology—including the battery technology that was used for early hybrid vehicles, as well as for the Centaur upper-stage rocket. Easley was very dedicated to her outreach efforts at NASA. She not only participated in in-school tutoring programs but was a very active participant in the speaker’s bureau—telling students about NASA’s work and inspiring especially female and minority students to consider STEM careers.
Nancy Grace Roman was a noted American astronomer who made important contributions to stellar classification and motions, and became the first female executive at NASA, and served as NASA’s first Chief of Astronomy throughout the 1960s and 1970s, establishing her as one of the "visionary founders of the US civilian space program".She created NASA’s space astronomy program and is known to many as the "Mother of Hubble" for her foundational role in planning the Hubble Space Telescope. Throughout her career, Roman was also an active public speaker and educator, and an advocate for women in the sciences.
Ellen Ochoa is an American engineer, former astronaut, and former director of the Johnson Space Center. In 1993 Ochoa became the first Hispanic woman to go to space when she served on a nine-day mission aboard the Space Shuttle Discovery. Ochoa became director of the center upon the retirement of the previous director, Michael Coats, on December 31, 2012. She was the first Hispanic director and the second female director of Johnson Space Center.
Margaret Hamilton is an American computer scientist, systems engineer, and business owner. She was director of the Software Engineering Division of the MIT Instrumentation Laboratory, which developed on-board flight software for NASA's Apollo program. Hamilton has published more than 130 papers, proceedings, and reports about sixty projects and six major programs. She is one of the people credited with coining the term "software engineering". On November 22, 2016, Hamilton received the Presidential Medal of Freedom from President Barack Obama for her work leading to the development of on-board flight software for NASA's Apollo Moon missions.
Kalpana Chawla was an American astronaut, engineer, and the first woman of Indian origin to go to space. She first flew on Space Shuttle Columbia in 1997 as a mission specialist and primary robotic arm operator. In 2003, Chawla was one of the seven crew members who died in the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster when the spacecraft disintegrated during its re-entry into the Earth's atmosphere. She is regarded as a national hero in India.
Pearl Young was the first female professional hired by the NACA (which eventually became NASA), in an age when most women in the government were constrained to staffing support positions such as secretaries or administrative aides. After a productive initial career in the field of instrumentation, she recognized the shortcomings of technical writing by the Langley staff and the lack of a systematic approach within the NACA to prepare technical documents. She personally conceived and implemented a highly-successful technical writing system that resulted in outstanding documentation of superior quality. The basic approach inspired by her efforts was implemented by the NACA and NASA, and continues to be used today.

They vary, not only with flight conditions, but also with different wing designs, Different airfoils have different flight characteristics. Force can be defined as a push or pull. 2 Tracks. Thrust can overcome or counteract the force of drag. Note that the maximum lift/drag ratio (L/DMAX) occurs at one specific CL and AOA. It enables the website to remember your actions and preferences (such as login, language, font size and other display preferences) over a period of time, so you don’t have to keep re-entering them whenever you come back to the site or browse from one page to another. The motion of an object in or through a medium, especially through the earth's atmosphere or through space. The principles of flight are the aerodynamics which deals with the motion of air and the forces acting on a body, in our case an aircraft; lift is the most obvious force, as its what we think of as giving an aircraft the ability to fly; thrust, provides a method with which to move the aircraft The aircraft propeller consists of two or more blades and a central hub to which the blades are attached. As a result, the air tends to flow from the high pressure area below the tip upward to the low pressure area on the upper surface. due to its shape and airflow around it, Turbulent wake caused by separation of airflow (burbling) created by the shape of the aircraft, When the air has to separate to move around a moving aircraft and its components, it eventually rejoins after passing the body, Newer aircraft are generally made with consideration to this by fairings along the fuselage so that turbulence and form drag is reduced [Figure 5-7], Generated by the collision of air-streams creating eddy currents, turbulence, or restrictions to smooth flow, The most interference drag is created when two surfaces meet at perpendicular angles, The drag of each item individually, added to that of the aircraft, are less than that of the two items when allowed to interfere with one another, If a jet fighter carries two identical wing tanks, the overall drag is greater than the sum of the individual tanks because both of these create and generate interference drag, Fairings and distance between lifting surfaces and external components (such as radar antennas hung from wings) reduce interference drag. Thus, modern airplanes have airfoils that strike a medium between extremes in design. For a steady flight all forces - more precisely the force momentums (product from force and duration of action) - affecting the ornithopter during a complete wing stroke cycle must be in balance. Pressure - Pressure is the force per unit area. B glide path angle. Adaptation for flight is highly developed in birds bird, warm-blooded, egg-laying, vertebrate animal having its body covered with feathers and its forelimbs modified into wings, which are used by most birds for flight. 8 tracks (). The weight pulls down on the plane opposing the lift created by air flowing over the wing. Discuss the four forces of flight and some of the hazards relating to aerodynamics. Try this amazing Ppl – Principles Of Flight quiz which has been attempted 1877 times by avid quiz takers. Find top songs and albums by Principles of Flight including Black Pearl, The Clockmaker and more. Quick View. The acceleration increases air speed past the wing, which increases lift so the plane gains altitude. At an altitude of 18,000 feet, the density of the air has one-half the density of air at sea level. This lowered pressure is a component of total lift. ZAR 495 . Learn vocabulary, terms, and more with flashcards, games, and other study tools. Otherwise, if the AOA is decreased too fast, the aircraft will descend, and if the AOA is decreased too slowly, the aircraft will climb, As the airspeed varies due to thrust, the AOA must also vary to maintain level flight, At very high speeds and level flight, it is even possible to have a slightly negative AOA, As thrust is reduced and airspeed decreases, the AOA must increase in order to maintain altitude, If speed decreases enough, the required AOA will increase to the critical AOA, Any further increase in the AOA will result in the wing stalling, Therefore, extra vigilance is required at reduced thrust settings and low speeds so as not to exceed the critical angle of attack, If the airplane is equipped with an AOA indicator, it should be referenced to help monitor the proximity to the critical AOA, Some aircraft have the ability to pivot the engines or vector the exhaust, thereby changing the direction of the thrust rather than changing the AOA [Figure 5-4], Drag is the rearward, resisting force caused by disruption of airflow, Drag is the net aerodynamic force parallel to the relative wind, Drag is always a by-product of lift and thrust, Their are two basic types of drag (induced and parasite) with total drag being a combination of the two, In level flight, the aerodynamic properties of a wing or rotor produce a required lift, but this can be obtained only at the expense of a certain penalty, That penalty, induced drag, is inherent whenever an airfoil is producing lift, as AOA increases, induced drag increases proportionally, To state this another wayâthe lower the airspeed, the greater the AOA required to produce lift equal to the aircraft's weight and, therefore, the greater induced drag.

PACIFIC Helicopters has taken delivery of the first of three H145 helicopters from Airbus Helicopters marking a milestone not just for the company but the country’s aviation industry.
The first H145, leased from international lessor, Waypoint Leasing, arrived last week in Goroka, following final reassembly at Airbus Group Australia Pacific’s Sydney
The remaining two H145s purchased and owned by Pacific Helicopters, will be delivered later this year.
This H145 is the first new Airbus Helicopters aircraft to be operated in Papua New Guinea setting a new industry standard.
Operators are increasingly looking for high-performance, efficient rotorcraft with strong safety credentials and oil and gas operational compliance – which are key characteristics of the Airbus Helicopters
“As a result of the introduction of the H145, and the demonstration flights carried out in Port Moresby, Pacific Helicopters is confident that their prospects for future business opportunities within the PNG minerals and resources industry are very exciting,” Pacific Helicopters owner and chief executive officer Malcom Smith-Kela said.
He said with their versatile configuration, the aircraft is able to perform a variety of tasks, including Defence Force support, emergency medical services, law enforcement, government department runs, oil and gas, aerial work, and business and private passenger transport.
“The H145 is a powerful, comfortable, modern and versatile multi-purpose rotorcraft, already produced with a large range of options to perform a broad mission spectrum that is also ideal for the support of the oil and gas industry here in PNG”, explained Nicole Demosky, Pacific Helicopters’ marketing
The Airbus Group is providing H145 flight crew training and power by the hour support from the company’s Sydney base.
The H145 is the latest variant of the popular high-performance, twin-engine range from Airbus Helicopters,” said Tony Fraser, managing director of Airbus Group Australia Pacific.
“We are proud to grow our partnership with Pacific Helicopters and support them as they continue to expand their operations, particularly in the demanding flying environment of Papua New Guinea.”


Electric air taxi developer Archer Aviation (NYSE: ACHR) increased its commercial aviation expertise Tuesday by naming longtime executive Tom Anderson as its chief operating officer, urban air mobility.
Anderson’s commercial aviation career dates back more than 30 years, including high-level positions at Airbus, Boeing, Virgin America, ATR Aircraft, and most recently, as chief operating officer at Breeze Airways.
Today we announce the appointment of Tom Anderson as Archer’s Chief Operating Officer, Urban Air Mobility: https://t.co/is1bEh67HE pic.twitter.com/XjCHP6uEOW
– Archer (rArcherAviation) June 14, 2022
California-based Archer brings Anderson in as it moves toward establishing operations for a planned commercial air taxi service using electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft currently under development.
Archer is one of the few air taxi developers planning to manufacture eVTOLs as well as operate an air taxi service. Backed by United Airlines, Archer and United have formed a joint eVTOL advisory committee to help develop its airline operations.
With Archer, Anderson will oversee and direct future urban air mobility (UAM) operations, focusing on commercial operations.
“I’ve spent my entire career focused on developing and scaling commercial aviation operations,” Anderson said in a news release. “I am looking forward to advancing the company towards its commercial launch, capitalizing on the company’s strategic partnerships and introducing the public to the benefits of urban air mobility.”
The company’s battery-powered, tilt-rotor air taxi test article — dubbed Maker– began uncrewed hover testing last December. Archer has made significant progress toward its goal of receiving FAA certification for its eVTOL in time to enter service in 2024.
The eVTOL Aircraft Flying Experience – a thread
A lot has been said about eVTOL technology, but here are a few details about what the passenger experience will actually be like pic.twitter.com/ZPo4yZzS4k

‘Deepening Its Bench’
Archer CEO Adam Goldstein pointed out that Anderson’s hiring was part of the company’s broader goal aimed at “deepening its bench of aviation’s best and brightest talent.”
Anderson also served as part of the team that launched JetBlue Airways.
While overseeing UAM operations, Anderson will develop an air mobility ecosystem.
A large part of eVTOL ecosystems will include establishing takeoff and landing sites, known as vertiports, to support passenger routes in each air taxi market.
Last year, Archer partnered with REEF, the largest vehicle parking operator in North America, to develop vertiport facilities on existing infrastructure, and committed to Miami, Florida, as “a flagship launch market.”


The media and NASA cooperated to keep a lid on the public's awareness of the level of risk for the Apollo astronauts. Safety features and calls from NASA technicians were ignored in order to meet self-imposed deadlines. Critics claimed that the fatal accident of Apollo 204, could easily have been avoided if safety concerns had been listened to.
However, a Senate Committee on January 30, 1968 reported after the fatal Apollo 204 accident which killed three astronauts, that the end-of-the-decade "Moon landing was necessary because the schedule is an essential and significant management tool."
The critics of the Apollo program who railed about the terrible odds and lack of safety features were suppressed, and are now silent because the Apollo program gambled against the odds and actually won. Critics had claimed that the manned moon program was "an arbitrary goal" and that there was "no logical next step" beyond landing men on the moon. They were correct in terms of the public-known space programs, yet the glory of the Apollo program and its success silences their reasoning. So why bring up their moot criticism?
Because it is being established for the reader how much the manned space program, which took money away from possible unmanned programs, was actually motivated on the basis of national pride and not scientific research.
The lives of many brave American astronauts were recklessly played with so that the world could marvel at Americans planting the American flag on the moon. But America wanted that glory. Some of the NASA scientists got antcy, because so much precious lunar time was spent on the first lunar mission, Apollo 11, just "raising" the flag. They were more concerned with learning scientific data than pomp and ceremony. Americans wouldn't trade that glory for more moon dust, or for more knowledge of the lunar surface. They were proud to get their flag to the moon first.
It seems then that with so much hoopla and pride, with so many billions spent to achieve that great feat, with so much danger given to our brave astronauts that America would not want to share the glory of the moon landing. It would seem that it might be disconcerting to some Americans to learn that the Masonic flag got to the lunar surface at the same time the American flag did. The Masons tied for first flag to the moon. Yes, taxpaying Americans spent billions of dollars to get the Scottish Rite's flag to the moon first.
Most people I have mentioned this to have seen the significance of this. Then others say, "So what if the Masons got their flag to the moon first?" Our President Kennedy answered that one. He said that whoever got their flag to the moon first was to be considered the leader of mankind on earth.
There are other interesting aspects to this. How ironic it is that the organization that sponsored and got the first Communist Internationale going was given such a big privilege by a supposedly anti-communist U.S. space program. Communism's sponsoring organization during the 1860s was the Masonic Lodge.
H.G. Wells, who has ties to Freemasonry, and was a Fabian Socialist, prophecied that men would land on the moon. Masons have held H.G. Wells up as a "prophet" in their official Scottish Rite publication. The One-Worlders seemed to have a interest in insuring his forecast and plans would happen.
H.G. Wells felt that the New World Order would rule because it controlled the air and sea ways. Indeed today they do dominate it completely.
For instance, his book The Shape of Things To Come, on p. 11
advises us that "...during the struggles and changes in world government that went on between 1980 and 2 059, at which date the Air Dictatorship, properly so called, gave place to that world-wide Modern State."
He also calls the Air Dictatorship a different name "the new World Council". "The new World Council, which is known also as the Air Dictatorship..."(p. 348)
In A Modern Utopia, p. 67, H.G. Wells tells us that this Air Dictatorship's Utopia will be "Bacon's visionary House of Saloman." And in the following pages he foresees that some of this Utopia's methods will use Plato's thinking.
The Air Dictatorship's air power was demonstated in the book The Shape of Things to Come and the film based on it, in the same manner that George Bush demonstated the New World Order's air power in Iraq. The parallels are interesting.
Is it proper to call 33° Mason George Bush's New World Order an Air Dictatorship?
•In 1991, when Iraqi Scud missiles were launched Air Force Space Command Defense Support Program missile-warning satellites provided stereo data on the Iraqi Scuds within seconds of their launches.8 Within 12 0 seconds the underground facility in the Rocky Mountain, which is full of computers, had received the data and determined what to do. The commands would be relayed in seconds back to the Patriot missile crews in Saudi Arabia or Israel which then would figure the last minute tragetories and launch their Patriot missiles.9 The reaction time would be in a matter of something like 6 minutes from the time the scuds were fired until the Patriots were launched. Is that air power?
•The government admits that its spy-satellites can read license plates and newspapers from outerspace. When describing intelligence capabilities it usually understates its capabilities. Imaging satellites beam their intelligence down to the Air Force/CIA at Fort Belvoir, VA. In the future if the Air Dictatorship wants to turn its attention to control you, it could conceivably watch your house from space, and follow you going out to your car, and track your car electronically. A description of one of the spy satellites:
"The 20m-long 13t KH-lls fly in pairs. Sun-synchronous orbits so that a first pass over a particular site is followed three hours later by the second craft. Each sports solid state CCD arrays for multi-spectral imaging via a 2m-diameter mirror and, although its 250km perigees that contribute to its 1,000-day lifetimes limit resolution to around 30 cm, the digital imagery is really manipulated and available to analysis within 90 min. This rapid response was the essential ingredient in attempting the rescue of the hostages in Tehran's U.S. embassy in 1980..."10
Yes, the satellites are like a pair of eyes in the sky which can be used for directing military operations. Satellites have also been used in law enforcement in the United States. Is that not air power? Can't our New World Order today properly be called an Air Dictatorship?
The significance that Bacon's House of Saloman (Solomon) is also describing this same World Order (this Air Dictatorship) will be seen as we examine some more about what the Masonic Lodge is and its history.

Australian International Airshow and Aerospace & Defence Exposition.
The Australian International Airshow 2015 will pay tribute to Anzac and the heroes of military aviation. It will be the major theme of the event and as such it will be the first significant observance of the Gallipoli campaign in its centenary year.
It promises to be a once-in-a-lifetime aviation spectacular click here for information.
The airshow commences 24th February to the 1st of March.


An airplane crash in Taiwan has left 12 people dead, 31 injured and dozens injured including the driver and passenger of a taxi which the plane ran into.
The small TransAsia Airlines flight took off late Wednesday morning and had 53 people on board and 5 crew members.
Dashcam footage from the highway captured unbelievable footage of the plane crash as it happened. The pilot attempted to control the plane as it was descending but unfortunately failed to do so before its wing hit the overpass, according to CNN.
A TransAsia Airlines flight crashed last year in the Taiwanese Penghu Islands leaving 49 people dead.


It was an historic moment at IWM Duxford at 10.30am this morning (21) as Plane Sailing Air Displays Limited’s Catalina aircraft took off for the first leg of the recreation of the 1913 Circuit of Britain flight.
The original flight, attempted by famous Australian aviators Harry Hawker and Harry Kauper, was never completed, so the crew of the Catalina, led by pilot Jeff Boyling (who also hails from Australia) are hoping to succeed where they did not.
The take-off of the Catalina was watched by the grandchildren and great-grandchildren of Harry Hawker for whom the recreation of the flight, attempted by their famous relative, was a poignant and proud moment.
While the airspace in 2013 is somewhat more restricted than 100 years ago, the crew of the Catalina intends to follow the 1913 route as closely as possible. The 1600 mile route will take approximately five days.
The Catalina is due to land back at IWM Duxford on Sunday 24 August at approximately 4.34pm.


Flying has been a large influence for me, being my lifelong dream and passion. Having several opportunities for military aviation dissolve, I have stayed involved with aviation and decided to pursue flying for pleasure and perhaps some business down the road.
I grew up around aviation with my father being a career Air Force transport pilot and mother being very supportive of my dream of becoming a pilot. In college, I earned my private license and used it for pleasure flying. My training was completed at Wilgrove Airpark in Charlotte, NC (8A6). It was a perfect setting with a great instructor and a challenging little runway tucked away in the trees. After moving to Chicago, I finished my instrument rating flying with Windy City Flyers out of Chicago Executive (PWK). With the umbrella of O’hare and Great Lakes surrounding the airport, I gained a lot of great experience in IMC and IFR!
My wife, Laura, has always enjoyed flying with me, especially the flight we took two days after my instrument check ride. We flew to Door County, Wisconsin for a photo trip over Lake Michigan and Cave Point. What she didn’t know was the low voltage light that came on was deliberate! It “forced” us to make a precautionary landing for lunch and a drive out to the lake. There, she was completely surprised when I dropped to one knee and pulled out a ring! We stayed the night and then flew back the next day. The whole trip depended on me passing my check ride because flying home was 90% in IMC and included a ILS down to minimums back at Executive (that went flawlessly)!
Today, we live back down south in Charlotte, NC. We just finished renovating our first home and preparing the workshop/garage for our RV build. We enjoy staying active with our two dogs, Kayla and Chester. Camping, beach and mountain trips, and cruises are our favorite past times. I am a manager for an industrial supply company and a 1LT in the North Carolina Air National Guard. Laura is an analyst for a large bank here in Charlotte. She also has her own photography business, Chicks with Cameras.
While we have many big plans for our airplane, our biggest is to use it to visit everyone of our nation’s national parks.


|The First Air Traffic Controller|
Despite limited post-World War I technical developments, early aviation remained a dangerous business. Flying conditions proved difficult since the only navigation devices available to most pilots were magnetic compasses. Pilots flew 200 to 500 feet above ground so they could navigate by roads and railways. Low visibility and night landings were made using bonfires on the field as lighting. Fatal accidents were routine.
Aviation industry leaders believed the airplane could not reach its full commercial potential without federal action to improve and maintain safety standards. At their urging, the Air Commerce Act was passed in 1926. This landmark legislation charged the Secretary of Commerce with fostering air commerce, issuing and enforcing air traffic rules, licensing pilots, certifying aircraft, establishing airways, and operating and maintaining aids to air navigation.
A series of legislative and administrative actions during the 1930s added additional layers of federal protection to aeronautics. Chief among those was the Civil Aeronautics Act signed into law by President Franklin Roosevelt. The act established the Civil Aeronautics Authority (CAA) and an Air Safety Board that would conduct accident investigations and recommend ways of preventing accidents.
In spite of the CAA, safety issues remained:
On June 30, 1956, a Trans World Airlines Super Constellation and a United Air Lines DC-7 collided over the Grand Canyon, Arizona, killing all 128 occupants of the two airplanes. The collision occurred while the aircraft were flying under visual flight rules in uncongested airspace. The accident dramatized the fact that, even though U.S. air traffic had more than doubled since the end of World War II, little had been done to mitigate the risk of midair collisions.
This high-profile accident prompted passage of the Federal Aviation Act. Signed into law in 1958 by President Dwight Eisenhower, the act created the Federal Aviation Agency (now called the Federal Aviation Administration).

If a plane takes off on runway 31 (N 31o W) and flies 4 miles, then makes a right (90o) turn and flies 11 miles, what bearing will the traffic controller use to locate the plane?
After making the first leg, the plane is at
(-4sin31°,4cos31°) = (-2.06,3.43)
From there, the plane flies at W31°S,
moving another (-11cos31°,-11sin31°) = (-9.43,-5.67),
ending up at (-11.49,-2.24)
The bearing is W11°S

Boeing 757 Project
In 2015 we acquired the cockpit of N525UA, a Boeing 757-200 previously belonging to United Airlines. we were then able to acquire instruments and avionics from one of her United 767 sister ships in the California desert. As for now the project doesn't have a timeline, but is remaining in storage until we find the time to give her a little love. Below you will find a few pics of both the cockpit as well as the acquisition of parts in the desert as well as a few images in her current form, assembled and awaiting re-engineering.

I start watching the weather forecast a few days before a flight, hoping for calm winds and clear skies. That was not going to be the case for this flight. It would become one of my most exciting and memorable flights so far.
I got up at 7am for early flight, checked the weather and saw that the high winds forecasted for the last few days had not changed. Suddenly I was nervous again about going up. Thankfully, the night before, I head read up on crosswind takeoffs and landings.
After arriving at the airport and before heading out to the plane I reviewed the crosswind takeoff technique with my instructor: full aileron into the wind before the takeoff roll starts and less as the ailerons become effective, using the appropriate amount of rudder as usual. Once off the ground, let the plane crab into the wind. Sounds easy enough but I had no idea how much aileron would be needed as we left the ground, I didn’t want to slam a wing into the ground. During preflighting we tuned to the WX frequency and heard the report “Winds 310 at 16, peak gusts 24” (18 mph and 27 mph). We headed out to runway 27 and, with my instructor on the controls with me, performed a nice, clean takeoff. No drama, no discomfort. I had, once again, gotten myself worked up for nothing. We climbed quickly with the 16 knot headwind and 180hp engine in the freezing winter air.
The turbulence was kicking us around a bit on the way to the practice area, the wind gusting from the west as we flew north. I did my best to not fight it and relax on the controls, let the plane take the bumps instead of constantly overcorrecting. As we climbed up to 2000 feet we started entering the edges of the clouds, surrounding us with haze that was just starting to dissipate. There were patches of clear sky opening up and shafts of bright sunlight shining through, saturating the surrounding clouds with a beautiful, glowing white light. Flying around in the edge of the clouds made it feel like I had a little patch of the world to myself.
After practicing a power-off stall we turned back towards the airport for some crosswind landings. A quick check of the WX frequency reported the wind coming from a more northerly direction so we’d be using runway 36 for the landings. Flying in strong winds a week after practicing ground reference maneuvers was a perfect way to reinforce what I had learned. The stronger winds really helped to illustrate crabbing against the wind, especially on final. The first two crosswind landings felt a little sloppy but the third and final landing of the day felt much better. I would have been happy to practice a few more landings but, sadly, the hour was up.
With each flying lesson I get more comfortable with a certain aspect of aviation. Before this flight, my biggest remaining area of concern was high winds and turbulence. With this lesson, that fear has turned into respect and anticipation. Crosswind takeoffs and landings require careful coordination and attention but they also expose some of the more interesting and exciting skills required for flying. Hopefully, in future lessons, I’ll be much more relaxed when it comes to unfamiliar situations.
It had been four weeks since my last flight, I was looking forward to going back up to work on my next lesson: Ground Reference Maneuvers. Before the flight my instructor discussed the plan. We’d do a review of previous skills and then three ground reference maneuvers: rectangular course, turns around a point and s-turns.
Ground reference maneuvers are a handful of different turns at a relatively low altitude that involve learning to fly more precisely relative to the wind. Driving a car in a circle is simple enough, you turn the wheel into the direction of the circle and keep it there, going slow enough to prevent the tires from losing traction. Now imagine you’re driving on ice with a strong wind, you have to compensate for the wind pushing you across the ice, making parts of the turn sharper than others. Flying in a circle is similar but also requires you to maintain altitude as well as keeping an eye out for other planes.
First up was “turns around a point” or, more simply, flying in a circle around a point on the ground. The goal is to fly a clean circle and keep the same track around the point for each turn. During my last flight in San Francisco I circled Candlestick Park a few times until ATC cleared us to continue our flight. When I was making those turns I wasn’t taking the wind into consideration and drifted away from the park. I did better on this most recent flight with my instructor helping me through each part of the turn.
Next up was s-turns where the goal is to fly equally sized half circles along both sides of a straight road. The first turn into the maneuver wasn’t very clean as I wasn’t immediately sure which road my instructor wanted me to follow. The subsequent turns were better and I’m sure they’ll improve in the next flights. We headed back to the airport to do rectangular course, basically just flying the pattern a few times. Towards the end of the last few turns I started to get a better feel for the wind affecting the plane. I’m looking forward to practicing more of these turns, they definitely help get a better feel for maneuvering a plane. They’re also kinda fun, you get to really “fly” the plane, exercising all the controls, instruments and looking around constantly.
I recorded this flight using the CloudAhoy app on my iPad and an external Garmin GLO Bluetooth GPS sitting on the dash of the plane. CloudAhoy records the flight path and profile including location, speed and altitude and uploads to their servers for analysis after the flight. Being able to review the specifics of takeoffs, turns and landings after the lesson is great, it showed me exactly how well I performed each maneuver.
I hope to increase the frequency of my flights, up from twice a month to at least three times a month. The longer the wait between flights the more you have to relearn the skills from the previous lessons. My goal is to get my license in as little time and cost as possible.
