Neil Alden Armstrong ( August 5, 1930 - August 25, 2012)Neil Armstrong, famed astronaut and first man on the moon has died at the age of 82 today. Along with Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins, Armstrong made the July 20, 1969 lunar landing. Forever etched into the minds of Americans, and the world over, is the commander of Apollo 11 stepping onto the surface of the moon, declaring, "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind."
Born in Wapakoneta, OH, the astronaut served as a Navy fighter pilot flying approximately 80 missions during the Korean War. He served as a test pilot for NASA and was commander of Gemini 8, saving lives during an emergency landing in the Pacific Ocean in 1966.
The quiet hero, who underwent heart surgery earlier this month, was an Aeronautical Engineering student at Purdue University.
Armstrong died from post surgery related complications and is survived by his wife Carol and two sons.

One of the lesser known museums in Bangkok is the Royal Thai Air Force Museum. It can be found on Phahon Yothin Road which is on the eastern side of Don Mueang Airport. It is a great place to come for anyone with an interest in aviation. The museum was set up in 1952 with the purpose of collecting and restoring equipment and aircraft in use during the early period of Thai aviation history up to the present time. The museum is open every day from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. except on national holidays. Entrance is free.

Johannesburg – Thursday 5 June 2008. In recent weeks Comair Limited, the holding company for British Airways (domestic and regional) and kulula.com, has employed over 70 former Nationwide Airline staff in various roles within the company including pilots, cabin crew, airports and revenue management.
Says Gidon Novick the airline’s joint CEO, “We’re fortunate to have the best team in the industry and we’re always looking to take on additional talented and energetic people. We’re delighted to welcome these ex-Nationwide staff onto our team.” One of these staff members includes Daniel Perry, the pilot who successfully landed the Nationwide aircraft that lost one engine in Cape Town last year.
With oil prices still rising there could be further rationalisation in the local aviation industry as there have been 24 airline failures internationally in the past few months.
Novick concludes, “There are still tough times ahead for both airlines and airline staff. However, we’re very glad that we can continue to offer career opportunities to quality airline and travel professionals.”


I recently got a few requests to help my son build an airplane for his birthday.
I think it’s a great idea, but first, let me explain what I’m talking about.
A toy airplane for a child is a fun toy for little ones, but it’s not the same as having an actual plane.
For starters, a toy airplane isn’t going to be as maneuverable as a real airplane, because a real plane doesn’t have a landing gear or a rudder.
It also isn’t meant to be the size of a football field or anything like that.
And a toy plane can’t carry as many people as a plane that’s real.
That means the plane is going to have to be smaller, and the size is going’t be the same.
A toy airplane is also easier to build than a real one, because it’s usually easier to get parts and tools than it is to build a real aircraft.
A good rule of thumb for building a toy aviation plane is: The bigger the model, the more difficult it is.
If the model is a toy aircraft, it probably has a much smaller center section.
You’re probably going to need to use a bigger drill, drill bits, a router and maybe a saw.
The bigger you make it, the less it’ll fit in the hand.
The only real exception to this rule is if you have an actual airplane.
In that case, it’s still the same, but you’ll probably want to build the plane a little bigger.
The smaller it is, the better the landing gear and rudder are.
But the bigger the plane, the bigger it’ll probably need to be to carry as much weight as a regular airplane.
And if you want to go the real route and buy a real airplane, you’re going to want to find one with a real landing gear.
You want to make sure that the landing gears are square.
A square landing gear makes the plane easier to maneuver, but also makes the aircraft much more vulnerable to breakage, such as when you accidentally land the plane in a snowstorm.
So, if you’re thinking about buying a real-life airplane, go with a model that’s square.
But if you don’t want to have a real airliner, you could still get a toy airplane.
You can find a toy airline on eBay or Amazon, but a toy airport doesn’t come cheap.
The actual airplane costs around $20,000, which includes the parts, but if you buy the parts separately, the price is $15,000.
That’s not much more than buying a toy helicopter, but that helicopter costs $5,000 to $10,000 more than a toy toy airplane.
If you want the biggest plane possible, you’ll need to go for a model with the longest wingspan.
The longest wingspans you can get for a toy model airplane are usually around 20 feet long, and you’ll want that to be on the long side.
That way, you won’t have to worry about a wing snapping off or getting damaged when the plane crashes.
Another good rule to follow for building an actual airplane is that you don’s and don’ts.
You don’t build a toy flying plane in an airplane, you build it in a toy jet.
And the model will probably be built to the exact specifications of a toyJet.
That model is made of plastic, which will allow it to fly with minimal wind resistance, and it won’t fly as high as a toy Jet.
You also won’t need as much fuel as a Jet, since the toy Jet won’t require the use of any fuel.
If you want a Jet that you can fly in a Jet airplane, then you probably should buy a Jet with a jet engine instead of a prop.

We're proud to have completed the last stage of the challenging Aerospace and Defence quality standard AS9100.
KMF Precision Sheet Metal has held this accreditation since 2013, so now Precision Engineering has followed in its footsteps meaning the entire KMF Group is able to prove its commitment to the highest possible quality standards.
AS9100 is the internationally recognised Quality Management System standard, specific to the aerospace, aviation and defence industries. This standard is strongly supported and adhered to by major aerospace OEMs and is being required by vendors within the supply chain on an increasing basis. The aim is to improve the product quality, on-time delivery, more efficient labour utilisation and increase customer satisfaction in supplier customer relationships.
This accreditation gives KMF Precision Engineering the approval to supply CNC turned and machined components to top-tier manufacturing companies within the aerospace and defence industries. As well as to offer additional value-added solutions, such as assembly and subcontracted surface finishes.
AS9100 shows our commitment to continuous improvement within the industry and the milestone will support plans for future growth in the aerospace, defence and medical sectors.
Operations Manager, Robert Carter said: "Acquiring the certification to the AS9100 standard, to which suppliers in the aerospace sector are measured, is a reflection of the continuous improvement efforts and commitments made by our employees to deliver the highest quality machined components to our customers.
"We are proud to now hold this accreditation and it shows our dedication to realise the highest possible quality standards, something that everyone within KMF has had a part to play in achieving."
Many aerospace manufacturers and suppliers will work only with certified partners and so, the AS9100 standard certifies KMF's position within the market.
The addition of AS9100 certification complements the IS09001-2015 accreditation that KMF Precision Engineering already possesses, highlighting the business' focus on supporting the stringent requirements of the aerospace, aviation, defence and medical industries.
Robert continued: "It has been a company ambition for a while and although there has been some significant change for our employees, I have been really impressed by how they have adapted and embraced the challenge of moving the company forward.

You'll just need 3 things:
- TimeThe minimum time required by the Federal Aviation Administration, (FAA) to earn your Private Pilot certificate is 40 hours, but studies have shown that the average student will get their "Wings" in around 60-75 hours. There are many variables that determine the length of time required to complete your training. Seasonal issues, weather, money and your own scheduling flexibility all are important items to consider. Some students have gotten their licenses in as little as 3 or 5 months while others may take quite a bit longer. The average commitment is approximately one year. This is something most schools won't tell you.
- MoneyWhile learning to fly isn't inexpensive, it is less expensive than you may think. For around $8,000 you can complete your training from first flight to licensed pilot. Lessons are paid for on a per flight basis (see our rates and prices). Ask any pilot and they'll tell you it's money well spent! Best of all, your introductory flight counts as logged training time toward the FAA requirements! Before you know it, you will be soaring among the clouds.
- CommitmentAnd lastly, learning to fly is much more than attending classes and going through the motions. It's a willingness to accept new challenges, setting and obtaining goals and having the desire to succeed. Many self-study courses are available which can make your time spent in the airplane more efficient, ask your instructor for more info. Learning to fly cannot be done as a one hour block of time spent every few weeks, it requires a higher level of immersion.


Every year, aviation industry presents new opportunities for pilots. And flying schools prepare student pilots for those opportunities. With reasonable pilot training in Australia, cost-effectively of course, students can indulge in advanced training and get the ability to work in the industry.
But as a student pilot, it is your responsibility to grab the opportunities when the time is right. That is what makes you a dedicated and smart learner. So in 2018, you need to fulfil a few goals to make it a successful training year.
1. Get familiar with latest aircrafts
You have been doing great so far with your training. However, it is important to ensure that you are familiar with the technologies that are applicable in currently in the industry. This is a great goal for every student pilot. You need to indulge yourself in aircraft training programs that include highly advanced and latest aircrafts. This will help you become parallel with the technology and improve you as a pilot.
2. Find new ways to know the industry
How about you merge your flight training with industry exposure this year? You can research about various flying seminars, events, and others to know more about the industry. Of course, it will require time management, but industry exposure will give you an immense level of knowledge. And sometimes, the knowledge turns into great opportunities as well. You need to promise yourself that you will not skip these opportunities this year.
3. Indulge in simulation training programs
When you are not up there flying an aircraft, a simulation program can keep your skills strong. The simulation technologies have become very close to the reality, and several schools offer quality simulation training along with the aircraft training. Aligning your aircraft flying training with simulation programs will give a dual power and speed to your skill acquisition capacities. You will become more confident about your flying skills with this goal.
4. Set a new flying record for yourself
Some schools offer flight training on an hourly basis, which can become a great opportunity for you to expand your abilities as a pilot. Set new flying goals for yourself this year. These goals can be related to flying time, flying conditions, aircraft choice, or any other. Challenge yourself to become a better pilot this year. All you need is a reliable trainer and a secure aircraft.
5. Enjoy Yourself
It may seem cliché, but there are student pilots out there struggling in this department. Many student pilots look at flying as a job, which stops them from experience the biggest reward of being a pilot, which is the excitement. So, you can set a goal to become more graceful and relaxed in order to enjoy your flying sessions this year.
Do you have more goals in mind?! Then, include them with all the mentioned ones and start following them.

TOKYO, Japan: This week, the U.S. Air Force said that divers have discovered the wreckage and the remains of five crew members from a CV-22 Osprey aircraft that crashed last week off southwestern Japan.
The plane, which was carrying eight American personnel, crashed on November 29 off Yakushima island while on a training mission.
Over the weekend, the U.S. military identified one confirmed victim as Air Force Staff Sgt. Jacob Galliher of Pittsfield, Massachusetts.
Two of the five newly located remains have been recovered, but their identities have yet to be determined, and the search is continuing for the two people who are still missing, said the Air Force Special Operations Command.
The U.S.-made Osprey, a hybrid aircraft that takes off and lands like a helicopter but can rotate its propellers forward and cruise much faster, has been involved in several crashes, including in Japan.
Japan has suspended all flights of its own fleet of 14 Ospreys, and Japanese officials said they have asked the U.S. military to resume Osprey flights only after ensuring their safety.
On Sunday, coast guard officials said that wreckage that it collected with the help of local fishing boats was handed over to the U.S. military for examination. Japan's military said the debris it has collected would also be handed over to the U.S.
Local fishing boats have helped in the search, giving up their daily catch. Public broadcaster NHK said the Defense Ministry plans to cover their lost income and fuel.

RAF Museum receives HLF funding
13th October 2016
We’re thrilled to announce that the Royal Air Force Museum London has secured £4.6 million in HLF funding for its upcoming Centenary Programme.
2018 marks the centenary of the RAF and this project will completely transform the visitor experience at the museum, telling the history of RAF Hendon through new innovative galleries, a digital sharing project, a revitalised schools programme, and connecting people to the heart of the RAF’s story locally and globally.
At the first stage of the process, Barker Langham developed the project vision and an options appraisal addressing the viability of the scheme, to support the RAF Museum in the development of their HLF application. For the second round of the application, we developed the project business plan, looking at the development of a new visitor centre and restaurant, and ensuring the organisation's long-term legacy.

North Korea’s armed forces tested out a new “railway-borne missile system,” which traveled some 800 kilometers (497 miles) before hitting a target off the country’s east coast, state media reported.
“The railway-borne missile system serves as an efficient counter-strike means capable of dealing a harsh multi-concurrent blow to the threat-posing forces,” said Marshal Pak Jong Chon, who also serves as a member of the Presidium of the Politburo of the ruling Workers’ Party of Korea and oversaw Wednesday’s missile launch test, according to KCNA.
Unconfirmed photos alleged to show the launch have circulated online, with a projectile seen blasting off from a railcar in an unidentified location.
Here are the first images of the latest North Korea ballistic missile launch, test-fired by Railway Mobile Missile Regiment and gliding a range of 800 km.Second missile launch in few days, both overseen by recently promoted General Pak Jong Chon pic.twitter.com/EHRzEjMchN

South Korean and Japanese officials initially said they detected two ballistic missiles early on Wednesday, though shared few other details about the purported launches. KNCA noted the test was carried out under a unit organized earlier this year.
The launch comes after Pyongyang said it successfully tested a new long-range cruise missile earlier this week, which reportedly traveled some 1,500km (930 miles) before hitting a target in North Korea’s territorial waters. Washington denounced the launch, claiming it showed the country poses a threat to “its neighbors and the international community,” while Tokyo said it was “concerned” over the reported test.
The latest launch marks North Korea’s fifth major weapons test so far this year, according to Yonhap News.

Alloy 7075 has been thoroughly evaluated for corrosion resistance of atmospheric weathering, stress-corrosion cracking and exfoliation in all currently available tempers. These values have been used as a standard for comparison in the development of more recent high strength aerospace alloys and used for highly stressed structural parts in the aerospace and defense industries, and as mold material in the plastics industry. Main application and uses for Aluminum alloy 7075-T7351 are: Aircraft fittings, gears and shafts, fuse parts, meter shafts and gears, missile parts, regulating valve parts, worm gears, keys, aircraft, aerospace and defense applications.
7075 aluminum sheet is one of the highest strength aluminum alloys available Its strength-to weight ratio is excellent and it is ideally used for highly stressed parts. It may be formed in the annealed condition and subsequently heat treated. Spot or flash welding can be used, although arc and gas welding are not recommended. It is available in the clad form to improve the corrosion resistance with the over-all high strength being only moderately affected. Applications: Used where highest strength
An aluminum alloy best suited for aerospace and aviation applications is 7075 T651. This tempered alloy has a high tensile strength which makes it particularly applicable for certain high-strength applications.


The following idea was originally named Linus Pauling Academy of the Physical Sciences in a document written by Steven A. Sylwester dated April 6, 2009. The original document was "An Obama Initiative for The United States of America" as is this new document.
For the most part, the original document and the new document are the same except for the name change, though some extraneous information has been edited out.
I have renamed the academy NASA Academy of the Physical Sciences (NAPS) for five reasons:
1. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is a United States government agency with an annual budget exceeding $17 billion. The annual federal funding projected for NAPS in the following document is $61.2 million, which is an amount that could easily hide inside the NASA budget without causing alarm.
2. NASA already has developed resources that effectively lobby the U.S. government for ongoing and increased funding as needed. Those resources include NASA's Education Coordinating Committee (ECC), which is chaired by Dr. Joyce Leavitt Winterton, NASA's Assistant Administrator for Education.
3. NASA has an ongoing need to develop homegrown mathematicians, scientists, and engineers, so taking ownership of NAPS would certainly be in NASA's self-interest.
4. The dream of being involved in space exploration is a common dream among many young people who are gifted in mathematics and the sciences. The opportunity to become a NASA Scholar in my proposed NAPS program would inspire many young people to focus their studies in mathematics and the sciences from a young age, and to work hard at excelling academically.
5. If NASA actually managed NAPS, it could create summer internship opportunities for NASA Scholars between their junior and senior years in high school. Being a summer intern at NASA would certainly inspire many NASA Scholars to pursue NASA careers. Consequently, NASA could recruit select NASA Scholars right out of high school, and thereby influence if not outright direct the higher education choices of those recruits.

7-Year-Old Sends Letter to NASA and Recieves Awesome Response
Becoming an astronaut is always one dream every boy and girl wishes would come true. When 7-year-old Dexter decided he wanted to go on a mission to Mars, he sent a letter to NASA. NASA's reply was awesomely unexpected.
Dexter's dream to explore the final frontier and become an astronaut may seem like he has his head in the clouds, but his enthusiasm and desire caught the attention of NASA!
Dexter wrote a letter to NASA with interest in hitching a ride to Mars, explaining how much he'd like to become an astronaut. In his letter he wrote:
My name is Dexter, I heard that you are
one(sic) sending 2 people to Mars and I would liek to come but I'm 7. So I can't. I would like to come in the future. What would I haveneed (sic) to do to become an astronaut?
Thank You, Dexter
NASA unexpectedly responded to Dexter's letter thanking him for his interest! Good to see a government agency supporting a youth's dream. Along with a letter, NASA also sent along pictures of Mars, the Mars Curiosity rover, a sticker and book mark.

For all the time of studying the Universe, people have sent more than 200 probes into space. Today they are in the millions, and some hundreds of millions of kilometers from the Earth. These complex devices are the eyes and ears of humanity in our galaxy. They are always equipped with the latest technology and each next generation is more complicated than the previous one. At the same time, they must withstand large starting overloads and the harsh conditions of open space. The probes revolve in the orbits of other planets, land on the surfaces of planets and comets, and deliver samples of their rocks to Earth. A national geographic documentary tells the story of several probes sent to the distant worlds of the solar system.


The main attraction War Eagles Air Museum is its warbirds and automobiles, but the museum also features eight permant exhibits. These include artifacts, uniforms, wartime literature and photographs, and other examples of the people and inventions that helped shape the Twentieth Century. Museum visitors can learn about the importance of Women in Aviation and the innovations of the Wright Brothers, as well as view vintage gas pumps and flight simulations, model collections, an engine display and more. All of these are interspersed among the plane and automobile displays in the main hangar space.
Women in Aviation –This display highlights the many contributions by women to the aviation field. The focus on is on the Ninety-Nines, an organization formed by 99 women pilots in 1929. Many of those original pilots went on to join the W.A.S.P.S (Women Airforce Service Pilots) during World War II as they moved aircraft from factories, towed targets for gunnery practice and as transport pilots. There is also a number of historical items and a timeline representing achievements by women in aviation. Today, the Ninty-Nines represent licensed women pilots from 44 countries that also promotes the advancement of aviation through a variety of educational programs.
Atomic Weapons – The centerpiece for the museum’s atomic weapons display is the four air-dropped bombs on display. On loan from the National Museum of Nuclear Science and History in Albuquerque, the bombs, two B-43s, a B-57 and a B-61, could be carried by much smaller tactical aircraft such as the Vought A-7D Corsair II.
The exhibit is backed by a large display that highlights the design, development, testing and operational deployment of nuclear weapons in the U.S. nuclear arsenal.

Airplanes Party Supplies is one of the most popular kids’ birthday party themes of all times. So, if you were searching for Discount Airplanes Birthday Party Supplies you’ve landed on the right page.
Airplanes Party Supplies – The Background
Airplanes Party Supplies are based on airplanes, aircrafts capable of flight. Airplanes are also called Aeroplanes or simply planes. Airplanes can fly because of the forward motion that creates lift as the wing moves through the air. There are unpowered airplanes as well, like the gliders, that warm-air pockets or thermals to generate lift. Airplanes are generally flown by a pilot, but some are remotely or computer controlled.
The word aeroplane is derived from the French aéroplane which, in turn, is derived from Greek aēr, meaning air and planos, meaning wandering. The literal meaning of aircraft comes to “wandering in air”. The term “airplane” is used in the United States whereas in the United Kingdom and most of the Commonwealth countries, the term “aeroplane” is used.
Many stories from mythology and legends involve flight, such as the Vimana in ancient Indian epics and the Greek legend of Icarus and Daedalus. It is said that Archytas, a Greek philosopher, mathematician and astronomer, had built a flying device around 400 BC. It is also said that the device had actually flown some 200 m. In the 9th century poet Abbas Ibn Firnas and in the 11th century monk Eilmer of Malmesbury experimented with gliders. In 1502, Leonardo da Vinci designed a man-powered airplane in his Codex on the Flight of Birds. Francois Pilatre de Rozier and François Laurent d’Arlandes flew in a balloon in the 18th century.
In 1853, Sir George Cayley built a successful passenger-carrying glider. He had been experimenting with flying models of fixed-wing aircraft since 1803. Cayley is credited as the founder of the science of aerodynamics. Jean-Marie Le Bris, a Frenchman, is credited for making the first powered flight in 1856, with his glider, “L’Albatros artificiel”. He had his glider pulled by a horse on a beach. John J. Montgomery, an American, made a controlled flight in a glider on 28 August 1883. Otto Lilienthal, Percy Pilcher and Octave Chanute had also made similar flights during that period.
Sir Hiram Maxim was initially sketching out the plans for a helicopter, but later he chose wings for his flying machine. In 1889, he built a craft that was 145 feet (44 m) long with a 110 feet (34 m) wingspan; and it weighed 3.5 tons. The airplane was powered by two compound 360 horsepower (270 kW) steam engines that drove two propellers. It was built to test whether it could lift off the ground. Later, Maxim abandoned work on it.
Australian aviator and inventor Lawrence Hargrave built the first box kite that could lift the weight of a man in 1890s. His designs were widely adopted and till 1909, they were the prevalent type of aircraft. On 14 August 1901, Gustave Whitehead flew his engine-powered airplane for half a mile at 15 m height.
The Wright brothers are credited for “the first sustained and controlled heavier-than-air powered flight”. Their first successful test flights took off on 17 December 1903. Their flights were recognized by the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI). By 1905, the Wright Brothers had developed the Wright Flyer III that was capable of fully controllable, stable flight for substantial periods.
Alberto Santos set the first world record on 12 November 1906 by flying 220 meters (720 ft) in less than 22 seconds. This is considered as the first airplane flight unassisted by catapult. The flight is certified by the Aéro-Club de France and the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI).
In 1908, Frenchman Louis Bleriot’s Bleriot VIII design brought together the modern monoplane tractor configuration. The airplane had movable tail surfaces controlling yaw and pitch. His later design, Bleriot XI, came in the summer of 1909.
During the World War I, aircrafts were used as the machines of war. They were capable of mobile observation as well as causing casualties to the enemy.
The airplane technology continued to develop after the war. For the first time in 1919, Alcock and Brown crossed the Atlantic non-stop. In 1927, Charles Lindbergh performed the same feat, solo. In 1919, the first commercial flights started between the United States and Canada.
In the Second World War, airplanes played a primary role. Pearl Harbor, the battles of the Pacific and the Battle of Britain are the examples.
In October 1947, Bell X-1 exceeded the speed of sound. The pilot was Chuck Yeager.
In 1952, the first commercial jet, the de Havilland Comet, was introduced.
Boeing 707 was the first widely successful commercial jet. It was in service from October 26, 1958 to June 22, 2010.
Boeing 727 was another widely used passenger aircraft.
Boeing 747 remained the world’s biggest passenger aircraft between 1970 and 2005.
Currently, the world’s biggest passenger aircraft is the Airbus A380.

Airplanes Party Supplies – The Options
We’ve got a lot of options to choose from. You may select Basic Party Pack from our Airplanes Birthday Party Supplies which includes all the stuff you need for 8 guests. Or you may go with the Deluxe Party Pack from our Airplanes Kids Party Supplies that has much more items than the Airplanes Basic Pack. The Airplanes deluxe pack is also for 8 guests. If you need favor boxes as well, I would suggest you to choose the combination of Deluxe Party Pack & 8 Favor Boxes from our Airplanes Kids Birthday Party Supplies as it would cost you much more if you purchase them separately. If you think that the number of guests may exceed 8 you should consider Airplanes Party Pack Add-On as it contains extra items for the extra guests. You may order Airplanes Party Favor Boxes separately as well.
I’ve personally used Airplanes Party Supplies for my kid’s birthday and through my personal experience I would recommend it to all Airplanes fans.

Super high strength aluminum alloy is not only the aircraft major structure material for carrier rocket,spaceship and space station,but also one of the important structure materials for weapon system, for example, missile. Nowadays, super high strength aluminum alloy are also widely used in high performance engine components. Typical uses are:aircraft components, gear boxes, axles, fuse parts, instrument axles, missiles parts, valves, turbo parts etc.
We can obviously find:the internal organization of rapid solidification material is smaller and grain boundary is cleaner with fewer precipitates.
The grain size of rapid solidification aluminum is 3-10μm, while the castings is 80-300μm.The refinement of grain could effectively enhance the comprehensive mechanical properties of material.
From above pictures,we can learn that Baienwei superhard aluminum alloys have obvious dimples.Dimple is one of the most obvious features to measure the strength of material.What’s more,the thick-walled tubes present more ductile fracture features than thin-walled tubes.


Few industries place as much demand on a handling system as aircraft construction. The handling of very large and heavy objects, the need for extreme accuracy and unyielding quality standards make for a difficult challenge. At Thomson, we have both the unique experience and the products to meet the precise needs of the most demanding material handling applications.
Aircraft Wing Handling:
In this instance, a wing is transported along a line. At a machining assembly station, the oversized and immensely heavy wing is brought in and tilted 90 degrees. The sheer size and weight of the wing makes the job particularly challenging.
Round Way Roller Bearings:
Round Way Roller Bearings have the strength and accuracy to be able to transport an entire wing along the line. Unlike most linear bearings, Round Way are very forgiving. For instance, the bearings can pass from one shaft to another without losing accuracy, even if they are not perfectly aligned. This makes it possible to build large systems quickly and easily.
Tilt Station Transport Platform:
To get the wing in and out of the tilt station, the wing fixture is brought on to a transport platform. The platform rides on a set of Round Way bearings and is moved in and out of the tilt station by a ball screw assembly that includes a Micron planetary gearhead. This combination allows the wing to be correctly positioned with accuracy high enough to allow for machining.
Tilt Station with Screw Jacks:
Once the tilt station transport platform is correctly positioned in the tilt station, three Thomson worm gear screw jacks tilt the wing and the platform 90 degrees. In this position, machining and assembly work can be carried out on the wing. The screw jacks are easy to synchronize, have high accuracy and efficiency, and have proven to be quite rugged and reliable.

The Padeye Vac
A “Padeye” is a recess on the surface of a flight deck that houses the steel hooks that are used to strap down and secure aircraft to the flight deck.
We were approached by the US Navy to provide a vacuuming solution for cleaning out flight deck “Padeyes” on Amphibious Class Ships. The vacuum they needed didn’t exist at the time, so we customized one of ours to their specification. Unique features like non-bearing wheels and a non-binding water shut-off float were part of the build list. None of the vacuums they had been using so far had been satisfactory so the Navy knew exactly what they wanted.
We were able to customize a vacuum to meet all their specifications, and ship 25 of them in a matter of weeks. It had non-bearing wheels, an HD steel hopper tank and frame construction, and no plastic; this ensures that static-electricity build up would not happen like it does in cheaper plastic vacuums. The end result is an intrinsically safe vacuum that is 100% static dissipating and safe to use around aircraft fuel vapors.
The US Navy were very happy with this design and have been a repeat customer. The Padeye Vac is built 100% in the USA from American parts.


The United States military is actively advancing its arsenal with a diverse array of laser weapons, as detailed in a Popular Mechanics article. However, these powerful lasers present hazards not just to adversaries but also to the military personnel who operate them. During the operation and training phases, service members are at risk of exposure to these lasers, underscoring the critical need for military laser safety glasses to protect their eyesight. Furthermore, the proliferation of compact yet potent lasers among civilians, often used carelessly, poses additional risks, particularly to pilots.
LASERS ENDANGER BOTH MILITARY AND CIVILIAN PILOTS AND AIRCRAFT
A lot of people enjoy playing around with laser pointers. Some of them are just ignorant and don’t understand the danger involved. Some think it’s fun to point at airplanes and helicopters. Either they don’t realize or don’t care, the laser beam does not stop high in the atmosphere as it seems to. It keeps on going, high enough to reach the cockpits of aircraft. Recently, a laser beam blinded the eyes of Air Force pilots, landing a C-17 at Ramstein Air Base, Germany. Fortunately, the plane reached the ground safely. In March 2016, a laser beam distracted and disoriented flight crew members of an F-15E Strike Eagle as it descended toward RAF Lakenheath in England. In the United States, a 2012 law makes shining a laser at an airplane or helicopter a federal crime punishable by up to five years in prison.
This is why at Phillips Safety, we developed Laser Strike Eyewear for military and civilian pilots to protect their eyes from these dangers, even though various state laws also prohibit this. The government has convicted and jailed people for it but hasn’t stopped them. The problem is growing around the world, not only in the United States and Europe, causing governments in all areas to criminalize pointing lasers at aircraft. New South Wales, Australia, completely banned the lasers. Because the laser beam points back to its source on the ground as well as in the air, they are easy for police in helicopters to locate. So far, the perpetrators are laser hobbyists ignorant of the dangers of pointing a beam at an airplane. However, many of them are not caught. Are terrorists behind any of the laser strikes? Nobody knows for certain, so nobody can rule out the possibility.
People fire off lasers at night. It’s also nighttime for airplane pilots, so the cockpit is dark except for the lights of the instrument panel. Therefore, their pupils are open, up to 4 millimeters wide, increasing their vulnerability to sudden glares and flashes. It’s the same effect as what your eyes feel when they’ve been in the dark for a long time, but a dazzling bright light suddenly glares into them. That ruins their night vision. Even if the beam does not hit the cockpit, the pilot sees it in flashes, and so it distracts the pilot. Worse, that must arouse their suspicions someone hostile is targeting them.
Although laser light beams are extremely coherent and focused, unlike ordinary light, they do spread out as it travels. Therefore, a point that creates just a narrow dot at a close distance is inches wide when it reaches the cockpit. When it hits the windscreen or bubble of a helicopter, imperfections in that material spread the light out further, up to a meter, causing such a glare the pilot cannot avoid it. Such flashes might last only a thousandth of a second. When the light’s strong enough, the laser beam causes flashblindness and afterimages. This pamphlet from the Federal Aviation Authority goes into more detail about the danger. The FAA reports that 7,500 laser strikes on aircraft occurred in 2015. They estimate there’ll be 12,000 in 2016.
This article in the British Journal of Ophthalmology points out that the small, red pointers of 1 or less milliwatts of the past did not cause a significant threat to eyes unless someone stared into them for a long time. These are properly categorized as Class 2. However, stores and websites around the world now sell much stronger laser devices, both red and green, with power up to 6000 Mw, usually treated as Class 3B or Class 4, too dangerous to use without proper safeguards.
The most dangerous parts of any airplane flight are takeoff and landing. Most airplane crashes happen then. And that’s when lasers pose the most risk to the pilots and aircraft because that’s when pilots are using their eyes to get off or on the landing strip. Laser beam flashes are also a particular concern during emergency maneuvers. Planes are most at risk while under 10,000 feet.
THE MOST DANGEROUS TIMES
MILITARY AND CIVILIAN PILOTS CAN PROTECT THEMSELVES
You can buy and wear Laser Strike eyewear. They come in lightweight designs you can wear underneath headsets and helmets. The fitover model suits those wearing prescription lenses. Made of polycarbonate, the lenses absorb the energy of laser beams, drastically reducing their intensity, but because designed for aviation use, they will not distort your view of your instrument panel. They come in 3 models:
Block green laser beams (532 nanometers)
Visible Light Transmittance 46.9%
Block green and blue laser light beams
Visible Light Transmittance 43%
Block green, blue, and red light
Visible Light Transmittance 23.3%
The most common laser strikes (91%) are of green light. That’s because the human eye perceives green as the brightest form of laser light, and that also makes it the most dangerous. VLT measures how much visible light goes through the lenses. Therefore the lower the percentage of VLT, the more light the lenses block. Pilots around the world wear these glasses to protect themselves, especially during takeoff and landing when they are below 10,000 feet. In many countries, wearing them at those periods is standard operating procedure.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY MEASURES
The FAA marks fixed laser facilities that always use lasers, such as astronomical observatories, on aeronautical charts. Temporary laser users, such as producers of outdoor laser light shows show up during pre-flight information as a NOTAM or Notice to Airmen.
THE MILITARY IS DEVELOPING LASER WEAPONS
That means they must take the same measures to protect their personnel that industries and laboratories using dangerous Class 3B and Class 4 lasers in civilian life must employ.
At Phillips Safety Products we make laser safety strike glasses for both commercial and military pilots. Contact us today to learn how you can protect your eyes from either thrill seekers or terrorists.

SAUDI ARABIA (KEVN/KOTA TV) - Several 28th Bomb Wing B-1 Lancers were launched from Ellsworth Thursday, Oct. 24 as part of “Bomber Task Force operations in U.S. Central Command,” according to an Air Force news release.
“This is what we train for, and is what sets us apart,” said Col. David A. Doss, 28th Bomb Wing commander. “Let there be no doubt, our team and our B-1s always stand ready to answer our nation's call at a moment's notice.”
The quick deployment included the bombers landing unannounced at Prince Sultan Air Base, Saudi Arabia; about 90 miles from Riyadh. The bombers have since returned home.
Usually, when Air Force bombers are deployed to Central Command they operate out of Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar. Since May, however, the U.S. has been deploying assets to Saudi Arabia due to increased tensions with Iran.
In a Facebook post, the U.S. Air Forces Central Command stated that landing the B-1s at the Saudi air base demonstrates “PSAB’s ability to receive, launch and recover combat sorties with a variety of strike aircraft.”
The bomber deployment also came just days before U.S. Special Forces successfully conducted the Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi raid.

Our law offices overlook Sixth Street and Congress Avenue. For those of you who have been to Austin, you know that this puts us smack in the middle of the annual South by Southwest Festivals. What SXSW causes in traffic headaches for us locals, it more than makes up for in the vibrancy and innovation that it brings to our city.
The UAV industry was well-represented at this year’s festival and I attended several of the UAV panels. A few highlights:
- FAA Administrator Michael Huerta led a panel, along with Sally French, which included representatives from NASA, Amazon Prime Air, Intel, PrecisionHawk, Aerobo and Fresh Air Educators.
- Administrator Huerta gave us a surprise –the final small UAS rule will be released this spring (earlier than anticipated) but declined to provide any details of the rule. He also said that the FAA micro UAS task force met last week and this week and will release its report on April 1st
- Diana Marina Cooper, general counsel for Precision Hawk, released data from their pathfinder program. Their phase one results from BVLOS testing are showing increases in flight distance of up to 640%.
- There was a lively panel discussion between Jon Resnick (DJI), Gregory McNeal (AirMap), Marke Gibson (FAA) and Gretchen West (Hogan Lovells) debating the tension between innovation and regulation in the drone industry. A couple fun factoids I picked up at the panel:
- There have been 0 drone strikes on airplanes. In 2014, there were over 13K bird strikes
- Data shows that one damaging UAV/airplane incident will occur no more than every 1.87 million years.
- The DJI Phantom lounge was awesome! They brought their newest release, a Phantom 4 to fly (albeit, in a cage) and had a holographic drone. And, as if it could get any better, the lounge was set up next to a life-sized TIE fighter. My five year old twins were in heaven.


When a then 19-year-old Richard Branson watched the Apollo II mission, huddled around a TV in Surrey with his family, it started a lifelong love affair with space.
With Sir Richard’s 69th birthday falling two days before the 50th Anniversary, we decided it was the perfect opportunity to capture his memories of watching the Apollo II landing and how it inspired him to go on to start Virgin Galactic.
From the Kennedy Space Centre in Florida we managed a Satellite Media Tour with the man himself, conducting live interviews on the day.
A dinner with Virgin Galactic’s Future Astronauts and the unveiling of a one-of-a-kind sculpture, ‘On the Shoulders of Giants’, provided further media opportunities.
We secured a stratospheric 1,039 pieces of broadcast coverage across the US, UK and Australia, landing on Fox, CNBC, BBC World News, ITV, Sky and CBS to name a few…

The ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization) called for aviation industry to take measures on adaptation to the consequences of climate change, as well as to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases, which lead to global warming on the planet, as the official UN website says.
According to this source, the ICAO warned that climate change will cause non-flying weather, problems during landing and take off of the planes, sandstorms threatening the operation of engines, flooding many airports as a result of sea level increase. It particularly refers to sea countries: only in Norway 26 out of 40 airports are jeopardized with flooding. Prevention of such a scenario is in the hands of aviation industry. The scientists have established that the main cause of global warming is the increase of emissions of greenhouse gases into atmosphere.
