Why Aircraft Crash So Often in Nepal
The column originally appeared in The Diplomat on 27 January 2023. Please read the original article here.
On January 15, a Yeti Airlines aircraft carrying 72 people, including four crew members, crashed a few kilometers away from Pokhara International Airport (PIA). Fifty-seven of those on board the aircraft were Nepalis and 15 were foreigners. This is the deadliest air crash in Nepal in the last three decades.
The crash came barely a fortnight after Pokhara International Airport began operations.
Apparently, the pilot did not report “anything untoward,” and PIA is among the “easier” airports in Nepal to navigate. An investigation is underway to identify the cause of the crash.
Nepal is no stranger to airplane crashes. It has been barely eight months since the last crash; a Tara Air plane crashed in May 2022 killing all 22 on board. In the last decade alone, there have been 20 crashes.
The mountainous terrain of Nepal means that air travel is the only option to reach some places. Even with alternatives, poor road infrastructure, short air travel, and increased disposable income have led to a rapid increase in the number of air travelers.
Investment in air travel infrastructure has also increased; over the last eight months, two new international airports have started operations.
The Yeti Air crash has raised concerns over air safety in Nepal. The role of aircraft operators and pilots as well as equipment is under the scanner.
First, Nepali aircraft operators cannot afford to buy new aircraft, forcing many to opt for cheaper used aircraft. Operators are said to have complied with only four of five accident investigation recommendations for air safety. Their close links to influential political leaders shield them from scrutiny, even when they flout the safety regulations. Many airports have not followed simple fencing, parking, and emergency vehicle standards.
Second, Nepali pilots are generally well-qualified, but there have been cases of indiscipline. Recently, three Nepal Airlines Corporation (NAC) pilots were barred from flying after they disobeyed instructions from the air traffic control (ATC) specialists in Hong Kong. Two more pilots have been grounded for failure to adhere to ATC’s instructions.
Third, Nepal’s air operating and safety mechanism is a mess. Corruption is rampant across the board. Aviation corruption has even brought down a prime minister. The Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal (CAAN) is the service provider and regulator of the aviation sector in Nepal. This has engendered a conflict of interest, especially regarding safety regulations. Ironically, the Ministry of Culture, Tourism and Civil Aviation has not complied with about half the accident investigation recommendations directed to the ministry.
It is partly because of these risks that the European Union has imposed a blanket ban on Nepali airlines flying in European airspace.
The committee investigating the latest air crash will submit the report, detail the cause of the crash, and issue recommendations to improve air safety. However, it is unlikely to make much of an impact on Nepal’s current air safety regime.
The crash is also unlikely to dent air travel in Nepal. Currently, many Nepalis and foreign tourists are anxious about air safety. Pokhara is a major tourist destination for domestic and foreign tourists. After the crash, local businesses reported a decrease in visitors to Pokhara. However, as weeks pass by, the necessity of air travel will override the anxiety about air safety, and aviation patterns will return to normal. Nevertheless, in the short term, it will impact tourism, which was slowly gaining momentum after a two-year disruption due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
There could be a fall in Indian tourist arrivals by flights to Nepal. More Indian tourists could opt for travel by the overland route to Nepal, at least in the short term.
Prominent Indian newspapers have used the tragedy to box China and BRI. They have highlighted that the newly inaugurated international airport was built with Chinese support. Some have drawn attention to the controversy that China claimed the airport was a Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) project. While the statements are factual, the reporting gives the impression that Indian newspapers see this as an opportunity to get back at China. It is a pity that the Indian press has shown little sensitivity to the tragic incident itself.
The crash also provides ex post facto justification for the EU’s ban on Nepali airlines in the EU airspace. At this point, the EU’s pressure on Nepal to make institutional changes to air safety could provide the impetus to Nepal to address the dire situation.


Dalhousie signs research agreement with Boeing
On Tuesday, September 6 at the Life Sciences Research Institure, Dalhousie University announced a partnership with the international aerospace company for applied projects in advanced materials, mobile graphics and visual and text analytics – each addressing specific industrial needs that will have implications not just at Boeing, but beyond. Thanks to this new investment from Boeing, faculty and students in computer science and engineering disciplines are being given a huge opportunity to engage in just that sort of research.
The funding for the projects, totaling in excess of $7 million, comes through Canada’s Industrial & Regional Benefits program, which requires companies who win defense and security contracts with the Government of Canada to make investments in the Canadian economy.
Evangelos Milios, computer science professor, is leading two of the projects. The first, mobile graphics, will help deliver complicated drawings, schematics and blueprints to aircraft manufacturing and maintenance technicians using smartphones, tablet computers and projection systems. The other, visual and text analytics, is about finding new ways to display, mine and interpret the massive amount of data that Boeing collects about each aircraft for improving safety.
Paul Bishop, with the Department of Process Engineering and Applied Science at Dal, heads up the third project in advanced materials, which will use advanced computer modeling and other techniques to develop alloys and coatings to improve durability and strength of the materials used in aircraft parts: aluminum, titanium, steel.
Each of these projects with Boeing will involve a number of faculty researchers, but also will provide extensive opportunities for graduate and undergraduate students to conduct applied research.
“Every maintenance action on Boeing aircraft is recorded and sent to Boeing – the same with any accident, injury, problem during take-off. There is a massive amount of text on everything to do with the aircraft, but it’s what we call ‘noisy’ text: it has jargon, includes ad-hoc acronyms, has poor grammar, and it may not make sense to people in other parts of the company. We want to work to make it clean and accessible so it can be used by aircraft designers and safety engineers to improve aircraft safety." - Evangelos Milios, computer science professor, Dalhousie University.
“We believe this kind of collaboration can lead to more breakthroughs than Boeing and our partners can accomplish on our own. We’re proud to have Atlantic Canada’s leading research university on these research projects.” -Diane Axness, director of platform systems/subsystems technology with Boeing, who spoke of the value the research will have.
“We have a strong history of partnership. We’re privileged and honoured to include Dalhousie on the list.” -Susan Colegrove, regional director of International Strategic Partnerships for Boeing Defense, Space & Security.
“It’s a great environment for students. They get to take part in an applied program with a direct industrial impact.” -Dr. Paul Bishop, Department of Process Engineering and Applied Science, Dalhousie University.

NASA is all set to launch a new space toilet to the International Space Station for astronauts.
.US Space agency NASA has sent a new Rs.170 crore titanium toilet better suited for female astronauts in a resupply mission to the international Space Station. Space station residents will test it out for a few months. At 45kg and just 28 inches, It’s roughly half as big as the two Russia built toilets at the space station.
The toilets currently on the ISS cater more toward men. But with more women joining the ranks, NASA set out to make a better toilet, tilting the seat and making it taller, said Melissa McKinley, the project manager at the Johnson Space Center.


Backing Victoria’s Space Industry
The Andrews Labor Government is backing the next generation of space entrepreneurs to develop innovative solutions and technology for the space industry.
Minister for Industry and Employment Ben Carroll today announced $100,000 for Moonshot – a Victorian-based accelerator focused on helping grow the global space innovation ecosystem.
The funding will support a space innovation boot camp ‘T Minus’, which is part of the NASA International Space Apps Challenge, a global hackathon that occurs over 48 hours in cities around the world.
Participants in the boot camp will spend two days working together and competing to hack together solutions to high-impact problems.
Moonshot will facilitate workshops throughout the event to help participants get their solutions into shape for commercial development.
The grant will also support a number of early stage start-ups to undertake an eight-week program to help them transform into functional businesses to create jobs and economic growth for Victoria.

Moon Rocks: Tectonic Activity Shakes Geologists
Long considered to be geologically inactive, our 4.6-billion-year-old moon is showing signs of tectonic activity via seismometers deployed between 1969 and 1972 during the NASA Apollo program. Although some “moonquakes” have been recorded near cliff-like fault scarps on the surface, they may be caused by the irregular gravitational effects of orbiting the more massive Earth or extreme temperature differences created by sunlight in the vacuum of space. Employing more sensitive equipment has been proposed for future missions to assist in choosing potential colonization sites.

Glacier plans to phase out commercial air tours by 2029
Hungry Horse News | October 5, 2022 1:00 AM
Glacier National Park released a final air tour management plan last week that looks to end all helicopter and airplane air tours by Dec. 31, 2029. It will also cap existing air tours to 144 flights maximum annually and will restrict where planes and helicopters can fly for the remaining seven years.
The moves come 30 years after Glacier’s General Management Plan called for air tours to cease over the park.
It took a lawsuit filed by the Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility against the Park Service and Federal Aviation Administration to get to this point.
PEER spokesman Jeff Ruch said the organization was pleased that Glacier was fading out tours altogether, but he said the Park should have gone through a formal environmental review process that would have looked at alternatives and taken public input.
Because as it stands now, Glacier will still allow the status quo to continue — up to 144 flights a year—until the sunset at the end of the decade.
Ruch maintained the Park Service could phase out flights even sooner. Glacier really doesn’t give a reason for the 7-year delay.
He also had concerns that by not going through National Policy Environmental Act review, it could open the Park Service to a future lawsuit by flight operators. Other parks, like Mount Rushmore, for example, are going through formal environmental reviews.
Still, he noted, Glacier, to date, is the only national park to announce it was ending air tours altogether.
A federal appeals court in May 2020 ruled that Glacier, along with 22 other national parks had to come up with an air tour management plan with the federal Aviation Administration within two years. The ruling came after a lawsuit was filed in 2017 by PEER that forced the issue.
Glacier’s General Management Plan, which was finalized in 1999, called for no commercial air tour flights over the park, but it was never implemented.
This final plan also restricts the flight path of tours, which have to follow the Going-to-the-Sun Road corridor on the west side of the divide only.
It also requires planes and helicopters to turn around near Road Camp and fly over the Loop. They cannot fly over Logan Pass.
No single operator can conduct more than three tours a day. But Homestead Helicopters and Minuteman Aviation are allowed three and five allowed three and five flights apiece annually, so in essence, they would have minimal tours.
Red Eagle Aviation has the most flights at 136.
The plan does not allow for any air tours over Blackfeet Tribal Lands.
It’s also considered a Glacier Park air tour if the aircraft flies within a half-mile of the park boundary.
The plan does not regulate administrative flights in Glacier. Glacier uses helicopters to fly equipment in and out of the park.
Air tours over the park have been a major complaint from visitors for decades.

Martin Aircraft has been valued at more than $100 million after its debut on the ASX on February 24.
In 1981, a young aviation-obsessed university student, New Zealander Glenn Martin, began working on his dream to invent the world’s first commercial jetpack. On Tuesday, the company he founded, Martin Aircraft, listed on the Australian Securities Exchange, after securing a cornerstone investment worth up to $50 million from Chinese aerospace group Kuang-Chi Science.
“I always knew it would be a long road to develop a wearable jetpack. The United States military had thrown lots of cash at big companies in the 1950s and 1960s that failed to come up with anything practical, and here I was just a Kiwi bloke in a garage with a hobby,” Martin Jetpack inventor and company founder, Glenn Martin said.

A large number of passengers now travel from one place to another both domestically and internationally through the flights. The high speed, quick and efficient transport services, easy access, and natural route make it a dynamic mode.
The timely departure of a flight is no less of a management milestone. Making sure of a fully boarded flight, ready for departure on the perfect time without any delay takes tremendous management skills. However, passengers being the ultimate consumers of the services prefer to reach their final destinations without any delay.
What Are The Prime Causes Of Delay Of A Flight?
Air transport is one of the fastest and most availed forms of transportation in this century. There may be various reasons for the Flight Delays, some of them are
• Adverse Weather Condition:
The flights ultimately depend upon the weather conditions as it flies high above the troposphere. It is an excellent condition, and the passengers have to bear with the problem until the weather becomes normal again.
• Security Risk:
Often, the delays occur due to a security risk, which arises if some threat is detected like terrorist attacks, etc.
• Mechanical Issues:
The flights often breakdowns and require proper maintenance. So the delay occurs as the airplane company needs to fix another flight that will run instead of the allotted flight.
• Computer Glitch:
Hi-tech computer systems are used in the airplanes to control the air traffic and also for a safe ride. Often computer glitches and technical faults may cause a flight to get delayed till the problems are resolved entirely.
How Can The Delay Of A Flight Be Managed?
Flight delay is a common phenomenon for people who regularly travel on flights. Flight Compensation is a standard feature for the airlines. Here are some points on how a flight delay can be managed properly:
- The passengers must not make a commotion
- Wait patiently in the waiting area
- Interact with the crew member
The Fozup is an upcoming company that promises to restructure the air travel by introducing various offers such as 100% immediate payment for all flight delays that is faced by the passengers. The company makes sure that the customer gets flight compensations instantly as the delays occur. The passengers get paid when their flight is a delay. The only thing that the customers need to do to is to fill their name and their flight number at least 48 hours before the departure of their flight to avail this fantastic offer. So, this will bring a considerable change in the air transport industry.

Shortly after midnight on the evening of July 20, 2011, my phone rang. On the other end of the line was Philip Scott Andrews, a photographer who currently works for the New York Times. Philip had received a Lytro prototype camera and was charging it up on his way to the Shuttle Landing Facility at Kennedy Space Center to photograph the landing of Space Shuttle Atlantis. Philip has been photographing NASA Space Shuttle missions for many years, and having a Lytro on the ground at the landing site for STS-135, the last Space Shuttle mission ever, was very special—the beginning of a new era in photography juxtaposed with the end of another era. We posted a few of Philip’s light field pictures this week and managed to catch up with him for a short interview.
EC: When exactly were these light field shots taken?
PSA: These images were taken at the Shuttle Landing Facility, the giant runway at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida after the Space Shuttle Atlantis landed there to conclude its final flight into space.
EC: How did you get access to photograph the last Space Shuttle landing ever?
PSA: I have been working on a project on the final flights of the Space Shuttle for the last few years. In that time I have had the opportunity to meet some of the people that make manned space flight possible. It was through these relationships, and a bit of lobbying around the press room, that I was granted access.
EC: How long have you been photographing Space Shuttle missions?
PSA: Hmm, the first launch I photographed was STS-114, the first flight after the loss of the Space Shuttle Columbia. That was July 26, 2005 (I had to look it up) so I guess 7 years. For my project, Last Days, I photographed the final 7 launches.
EC: How did you feel when you saw the landing of STS-135? What was the mood at the landing site?
PSA: It’s always a pretty happy vibe when a bird comes back safely. This one, of course, was different. I didn’t have a lot of time to think right as the orbiter was landing because I was working quickly to transmit images for [the New York Times]. A few hours afterward, when we were allowed to go under the wing, was when I really began to emotionally connect with the situation. Everyone was proud to be there. The Space Shuttle was always more than a job for those technicians but it was particularly poignant that day. For some of them it was their last day as an employee. It was a true gift to be able to be there.
EC: This was your very first experience with a light field camera. Can you tell us whether it changed the way you take pictures?
PSA: I think I probably looked at including things I would typically not consider in the frame, because I knew there would be no problem with the depth of field. I’m still getting used to the technology but it forced me to think about compositions differently than with a standard camera.
EC: How do you think light field cameras will affect photography and journalism in the future?
PSA: Whoa, That is quite a question. I missed the transition from film to digital in journalism but it will probably be something like that. The new crop of digital cameras have allowed photographers to do things film didn’t allow, from extremely high ISO settings to movies and audio capture. I think its impossible to tell what these cameras will do. I can almost guarantee that there will be naysayers, but if these cameras allow us to tell stories in a different or better way, and I think it’s obvious that they do, then they will be embraced and pushed to do incredible things that their inventors and early adopters can’t possibly imagine.
I just want to say thanks so much to lytro, I can’t wait to see what comes next.
Born and raised outside Washington D.C., Philip Andrews has interned for the Associated Press and National Geographic, and currently covers Capitol Hill and the White House on an internship with the New York Times. Philip has won numerous awards in photography and journalism, and has completed freelance assignments of protests, Space Shuttle launches, and forest fires for publications including the New York Times and Getty Images.
You may notice that these living pictures aren’t as refocusable as are some of the other pictures in the gallery. While light field cameras are capable of producing pictures with dramatic refocus potential, not all pictures need to refocusable to be great!
Our living picture gallery features the work of photographers in the Lytro Professional Shooter Program (PSP), a small group of forward-thinking artists who lept at the chance to be the first to use Lytro prototype cameras in the field.


Passengers could be travelling using electric aircrafts for short trips within two years, an aviation expert has predicted.
Australian airline Rex has announced plans to trial the emerging technology by 2024 on selected regional routes, while a number of operators across Australia are already doing so.
“The technology is working. It’s been proven in trial flight, and we can do a lot in two years,” Rex’s aviation projects managing director, Keith Tonkin, told ABC Australia on Wednesday.
“There are some companies in Australia that are really heavily involved in the battery charging systems and infrastructure elements of the technology.”
Mr Tonkin addressed the environmental urgency for alternatives to fossil-fuel planes, saying: “There’s a worldwide effort towards reducing carbon emissions from all aircraft operations, which contributes about 2 per cent of the world’s carbon pollution.”
However, he acknowledged that public perception around the safety of electric aircraft is an obstacle that airlines will need to overcome.
“There’s definitely a stakeholder engagement perspective to it,” Mr Tonkin said.
“I think it’s just a matter of educating people about the benefits of the new system… and then once we get started, it’ll be okay.”
Rex Airlines plans to swap or retrofit the airline’s existing fleet for electric engines fuelled by hydrogen fuel.
But Mr Tonkin said ideally a new aircraft would be specifically designed and built around the new propulsion system.
Peter Harbison, chairman emeritus of Australia’s CAPA Centre for Aviation, said battery weight was a major concern.
“If you wanted to fuel an A380 for a long-haul flight, you need a battery that weighed something like 500 tonnes, which is more than the weight of the aircraft itself at the moment,” he said.
“But on smaller, shorter sectors, it is going to be possible quite soon… within the next two to five years, to have aircraft that can operate short haul on electric power.”
The technology would also allow other airlines to operate flights using smaller planes and to carry up to half a dozen passengers.
He added that strict safety regulations in aviation would alleviate passenger fears about electric technology being used in the air.
“You can be absolutely assured that nothing is going to be flying people around that has not been vetted incredibly thoroughly,” Mr Harbison said.
“And of course, we’re not alone in this in the world. There are lots and lots — some very, very big — companies working on this at the moment because they recognise that this is the future.
“I’ll be flying in an electric aircraft by the end of this decade, that’s for sure.”


My husband has an interview with Southwest Airlines today. It's an 8 hour interview by three different pilots and is intense. He has been working towards this ever since he got his pilot's license 17 years ago. And the day is finally here.
I remember in high school when he decided to get his private pilot's license. And the first time he flew me in the plane. And when he moved to Florida for flight school. And when he got his first job as a commercial airline pilot. It all seems like just yesterday.
17 years is a lot of pressure to cumulate in one day. I am so proud of him; his determination, discipline, and foresight. And whether he gets the job or not, I'll still be proud of him. He is my hero.

October 2, 2022
On a recent business trip to the Trenton Airforce Base, I stopped and took in the collection at the National Airforce Museum of Canada. All of these photos were taken from outside the fence as I didn’t have time to go in and review the collection properly before my next appointment. There are other aircraft located inside the storage building which tends to house many of the older planes. The museum opened on April 1, 1984, on the 60th anniversary of the establishment of the Royal Canadian Airforce.
P-140 Aurora – This long-range patrol aircraft was put into service in 1980 and remained active until 2017. It has a range of 7,400 kilometres and has been used for rescue missions as well to combat illegal immigration and drug trafficking. After being in storage for a year it was brought to the museum and re-assembled for display.
CC-115 Buffalo. This aircraft was built by De Havilland in Downsview and completed on August 27, 1967, after which it went into service as a transport plane. In 1975 it took on a dual role as a Search & Rescue craft until it was retired in September 2020 after over 50 years of service.
CC-144 Challenger. This aircraft was put into service in April 1983 in Ottawa to provide transportation for VIPs. It got a new assignment in 1995 when it went to Nova Scotia to serve as a training plane for pilots in electronic warfare. Five years later it was back in Ottawa flying VIPs around. It was in Florida in 2012 when it struck a large bird and was damaged requiring extensive repairs. In 2014 the Challenger fleet was reduced from 6 planes to just 4 and this one was retired. It found a new home in the museum in 2015.
CL-28 Mark II Argus. This is one of 20 Mark II aircraft purchased in 1958 and used for maritime patrol. It was stationed at Summerside P.E.I. in the 415 Maritime Patrol “Swordfish” Squadron. It flies at 463 kilometres per hour and was in service until 1982 performing patrols as part of anti-submarine warfare.
CH-124 Sea King went into service on May 14, 1964, performing surveillance and anti-submarine tasks. It has a compact design with rotors and tail that fold up allowing it to land on the smallest warships. It is also amphibious and can make landings in water. This one served in The Gulf War in 1991 as well as East Timor in 1999-2000. When it was retired in 2018 it had the most air-hours of any Sea King having racked up 17,775.3 hours.
The F86 Mark V Sabre is a fighter craft, and the model was purchased between 1948 and 1958. The one in the museum was in service until 1969 serving in Chatham, New Brunswick until it was placed in duty as an instructional airframe. This model of fighter can achieve speeds of 973 kilometres per hour.
CH-147D Chinook was originally a USA army helicopter beginning in 1969. The Canadian Government bought it and five others in 2008 to deploy to Kandahar in Afghanistan. It has been part of the museum collection since 2016.
F-18 Hornet. This aircraft is capable of flying at Mach 1.8, 2,200 kilometres per hour at sea level. The one in the museum was put into service in 1982 as a training craft in Cold Lake, Alberta. All training on the Hornet was conducted at Cold Lake. This airplane was donated to the museum in 2009 as part of the celebrations marking the 100th anniversary of flight.
The Spitfire Mark IX was one of the primary fighter crafts of the allied forces in the Second World War. It was in service between 1940 and 1950 and could fly at speeds up to 586 kilometres per hour. This example was donated to the museum in 2001.
Ch-118 Iroquois was a combat support unit which performed search and rescue operations. It was in service between 1968 and 1995 when all Iroquois were retired from service. This machine was then used at CFB Borden and then CFB Trenton for aircraft battle damage repair training. It was placed in the museum in 2007.
Code named “Fishbed” by the Allies, this Russian fighter jet was never flown by the Canadian Military. It was officially known as a MiG-21 and was first put into service in 1959 and was able to fly at 2,230 kilometres per hour. The specimen in the museum was put into service in 1975 in East Germany. After German Unification in 1990 it was soon withdrawn from service and was donated to the Canadian Government in 1993. It has been in the museum collection since then.
The CF-116A Freedom Fighter in the museum was in service from 1968 to 1995 and entered the museum in 1997. It was used at Cold Lake, Alberta as a tactical fighter and training aircraft. In 1976 it was transferred to the 419 Moose Squadron where it was painted red and white like the Canadian Flag.
This is just a sampling of the 37 aircraft in the museum, several of which are housed in the indoor facility. At some point I would love to spend the time to go through the museum properly and see the full exhibit including all the other memorabilia that is on display.

NASA announced that they had located a new solar system dubbed Trappist-1. The solar system is made up of seven earth like planet which the guys at NASA have a relatively good chance of being able to maintain human life.
Great when do we get to meet them? We won’t, not in our lifetime. The solar system is 40 light years away and barring a major scientific breakthrough of epic proportions we aren’t getting to Trappist-1 anytime soon.
However, NASA displayed a really cool space tourism poster during the announcement. This got our inner travellers thinking once we have finished travelling planet Earth, will we soon be in a situation to travel to other planets?
So, let’s have a look at the space tourism industry to see what options out there are.
1. Space: The Final Frontier
Space tourism is a relatively new phenomenon. In the last few years, we have seen a rise in companies offering space travel to tourist. So what exactly is it? In a nutshell, it is space travel for recreational or leisure purposes.
Startups like Virgin Galactic and XCOR Aerospace are among the small few that can boast being planet earth first spacelines!
Ultimate: Being the best or most extreme example of its kind – Oxford Dictionary. Today’s show is all about wrapping up the year with 'THE ULTIMATES'. We have some amazing guests lined up to speak with you and some fabulous travel tips to share! P.S. We also have some extra special giveaways too! So make sure you tune into 2UE Talking Lifestyle from 2pm-4pm AEDT this afternoon. Chat soon!
Over a period of 8 years, 7 tourists made the trip to outer space, with the last flight happening in 2009. These travellers flew aboard Russian space crafts for a reported fee of between 20-50 million USD. That is a fairly big spread and even at the lower end, most people won’t be able to afford it (any millionaires out there get in touch).
However, if you don’t have a spare 20 million lying around there is still hope. Suborbital rockets will allow flights to space also. Keeping in mind space begins 50 km from the earth, a suborbital flight will likely carry you around 130 km. While this may be a way off just yet, but one astronaut reckons it will be as cheap as $10,000 to fly within the next ten years.
2. Mars One: A Project To Conquer The Red Planet
Want to go somewhere exotic? How about Mars? It really doesn’t get more exotic than that. Someone already had this idea and has put a plan together to send a team to Mars. Dubbed Mars One the project aims to place a permanent human settlement on Mars by 2032. The selection process for this team started in 2013 and drew a massive response of 200,000 candidates.
Now in the 3rd round of selections, there are a mere hundred applicants left. The trip is insanely long taking 7 months to land and there is no way of getting these pioneers home at present. There are technology companies looking into ways of getting these people home, but for now, it is a one-way ticket.
The settlement will already be set up the time humans get there. A rover will be deployed to pick out a suitable spot before deploying living pod and food (don’t expect 5 stars). The travellers aren’t a tourist in any sense other than the fact that they are excited by the prospect of exploration.
With that said, what is to say once they have broken this new ground that there won’t is space for a few more of us over there?

- "I remember a family trip with a destination that I can’t remember. “Easy Rider” was playing on the airplane through the tiny video monitors. I listened to Jack Nicholson’s character talk about aliens in outer space living as individuals, being their own leaders, completely independent from everything. It blew me away. I made a vow that I will become my own leader and, since I can’t explore outer space, I will explore my inner space."

Although helium (He) is the universe’s second most abundant element, after hydrogen, it is extremely rare on earth and also finite. In the earth’s atmosphere, the concentration of helium by volume is only 0.0005 percent, so it cannot be obtained in significant quantities through air separation. Yet helium can reach concentrations of up to 7 percent in natural gas and can be extracted during gas processing at concentrations of 0.2 percent and above.
Industries Usage and Applications
From manufacturing to flight, helium is widely utilized throughout the aerospace and aircraft industry. In space flight operations, helium is used to purge hydrogen systems and works as a pressurizing agent for ground and flight fluid systems. It is also a source of lift in weather and other surveillance balloons.
Helium is used to test critical automotive parts such as radiator heat exchangers, air conditioning components, fuel tanks and torque converters to ensure they meet quality specifications. It is also used in combination with argon as a source of inflation in a growing number of airbags.
Helium is used to achieve cryogenic temperatures of -451 degrees required for superconducting magnets in MRIs and NMRs, allowing the capture of high-resolution images of internal organs and tissues.
Helium’s inert properties at arc temperatures make it an ideal gas for welding materials with high heat conductivity such as aluminum, stainless steel, copper and magnesium alloys. Helium is also used in heat treating processes such as gas quenching and in furnace atmospheres to produce parts with higher tolerance and improved quality.


About 60 or 70 years ago,
when people were asked
to imagine how the year 2020 would look,
people imagined futuristic looking cities.
Cars flying in the sky.
Flying cars would have become a reality.
But unfortunately, it didn’t happen.
The reality looks like this today.
While people imagine the year 2020 to look like this.
But do you know what, friends?
Flying cars are something
that’s slowly becoming a reality.
Today, in 2022,
a company in Slovakia,
has successfully tested an actual flying car.
This isn’t a dream for the future,
it is the reality now.
Come, let’s understand this technology
in today’s video.
“If you haven’t noticed lately,
we’re living in the future.
But there’s still one thing that’s conspicuously absent.
“Where are the flying cars?”
“I was promised flying cars.”
“I don’t see any flying cars.”
Would there ever be an aircraft
where you can just jump in,
and be able to take off
and fly where ever you want to?”
Listening to it, friends, it feels like
a flying car is something really futuristic.
but people had started trying to make one about 100 years ago.
The year 1917,
saw the first attempt at building a flying car.
Or perhaps a roadable aeroplane.
An aeroplane that can navigate roads too.
It was named the Autoplane.
This was built by Glenn Curtis.
It was given the title
‘Limousine of the Year.’
But was this flying car actually able to fly?
It’s said that when they tried to fly it
it lifted off the ground
but unfortunately, it couldn’t fly properly.
So the Autoplane turned out to be a failure.
After this, we get to 1933,
when the US Air Commerce Bureau conducted a competition,
called the Flivver Competition.
They challenged people to design an aeroplane
that would cost less than $700 to build.
Many models were submitted in this competition,
and one of these models was of
Designed by Walda Waterman.
This was an aeroplane that looked like a car.
It could take flight
but never went into production,
because they were going through the Great Depression.
There were enough funds to produce it.
But what could be called the first successful attempt
took place in 1945.
American inventor Robert Edison Fulton,
built an aeroplane called the Airphibian.
It looked like a proper aeroplane,
the only difference was that the front of it could be detached.
It took about 5 minutes to convert this aeroplane into a car.
And the resulting car looked like the front of the aeroplane.
For its era, this Airphibian was quite innovative
and it got a flight certification from the Civil Aviation Authority.
But the problem was that,
because of the compromises in the design,
it was neither a good aeroplane,
that could compete with the other aeroplanes.
Nor was it a good car,
that could compete with the other cars.
When it turned into a car, it looked really weird.
To add to it, in 1945, there were financial problems due to World War II.
This company could not find investors for this flying car.
And then came the Convaircar.
Industrial designer Henry Dreyfuss
attempted this in 1947.
This looked like a car stuck with an aeroplane on it.
Airphibian looked like an aeroplane completely.
But this looked as if
the car got stuck to the aeroplane by mistake
and is now flying with it.
It too took 5 minutes to convert from an aeroplane to a car.
And by converting, it meant
detaching the aeroplane part and keeping it aside.
And then it could be used as a car.
It was a great idea for its time.
And in its third test flight,
this Convaircar crashed.
The pilot checked the reading on the meter,
and thought that there was enough fuel
and that he could continue flying,
and though the car did have enough fuel,
there was very little in the aeroplane’s tank.
It led to this unfortunate crash.
After this crash, people lost confidence in it.
And the investors backed out.
The problem with these attempts was that
they took a car, and they took an aeroplane,
and they tried to combine them as they were.
A true flying car would be one
that could actually transform from an aeroplane to a car.
The two can’t simply be combined
merely to detach the part of the aeroplane when the car is used.
Morton Taylor was the first person
to decide to work on the design of Airphibian,
and to make the wings of the Airphibian foldable.
So that when it has to be used as a car,
the wings can be folded
and stored behind the car.
This came true in the year 1949.
It was named Taylor’s Aerocar.
They got the certification,
the approval for mass production,
but the problem was that
they needed at least 500 advance orders
before mass production could begin.
But there weren’t enough people interested in it.
So they couldn’t get the orders.
So the deal had to be cancelled.
At one point, the company Ford was quite close
to buying this Taylor Aerocar.
But that deal couldn’t be finalised either.
There was a scarcity of funds
but perhaps a bigger problem was
the lack of technological advancement.
We didn’t have the technology
to build a true flying car.
neither do we lack funds,
and the technology has moved by leaps and bounds since the 1950s.
So the recent attempts at building a flying car,
have been amazing.
They are truly futuristic.
In October 2021,
a Swedish company called Jetson Aero,
presented their Jetson 1 Airplane to the world.
As you can see,
it doesn’t look like a car at all,
rather it can be called an extra-large drone.
Because it flies just like a drone.
A person sits inside it and pilots it around.
It is a single-seater vehicle.
Only one person can sit inside it.
They had started working on it in 2017.
The first prototype was ready in January 2018
and it had its first successful flight too.
But they introduced their company
and presented their 2nd generation prototype to the world.
In October 2021.
Its speciality is its design.
A helicopter needs a helipad to take off
but this is so compact,
so small that it can land on your roof
and take off from your neighbourhood garden as well.
To keep it lightweight,
its frame is made of aluminium.
And it weighs only 86kg.
It is very light.
And the person sitting in it,
can weigh up to 95kg.
Perhaps the most interesting thing is that
you wouldn’t need a pilot’s license to fly it.
Because according to the US Laws,
there is no need for a pilot’s license,
for a home-built, single-seater aircraft.
Since it is a single-seater aircraft,
only one person can sit in it,
and it’s home-built too
because if you buy it,
it’ll reach you 50% assembled.
You can order it from anywhere in the world,
the way that the company ships this to you,
you need to assemble it yourself.
So it comes under the category home-built.
With this, the legal hassles for the company reduce.
Because the company would no longer be responsible in case of accidents.
Because you have put it together.
Jetson 1 is truly very futuristic,
but it cannot be practically used much.
Because you can’t fly it at night.
You can’t fly it over city traffic.
Because these are restricted airspace.
it is quite difficult to fly a camera drone nowadays,
it will be very difficult to get permission to fly this.
But their co-founder, Peter Ternstrom, has said that
they aren’t trying to solve a problem in the world
they are simply promoting it as a fun activity.
He claims that it is fun to fly it.
You can guess the origins of the name of the company, Jetson.
If you recall, The Jetsons used to be a cartoon show a while ago.
And the futuristic aircraft used by the Jetsons to travel
looked somewhat like this.
So they tried to copy that design
and took inspiration from it.
So this Jetson 1 cannot be termed as a proper flying car.
Because it can run on the roads.
But there’s another company in Slovakia.
They presented their Aircar to the world last month.
It is a flying car in true essence.
Friends, it is very clear
that to build such technology,
we need skilful engineers and out of the world innovation.
Unfortunately, innovative things of this level
can be rarely seen in countries like India.
A huge reason for this is that
there are many engineers with degrees in India
but they lack the skills that are actually needed to do a job properly.
More than 90% of the engineers in India
aren’t employable due to this.
Thankfully, there are some companies
that are helping software engineers to become more skilled.
Scaler.com is a tech school
where the subject matter experts from the top tech companies teach students.
They share their industry experience with the learners.
They focus on college students and working professionals
so that they can be upskilled.
Especially with their one-on-one mentorship programs.
They focus on making them more skilful.
They claim that in 2020-2021,
more Scaled learners got placement in Amazon
compared to all the IITs combined.
They provide the learners with every tool
with which they can become more skilled
and can further their careers.
If you are interested,
you can check out scaler.com through the link given in the description below.
I’d recommend their Software Development Course
and the Data Science course.
They would help you achieve the right fundamentals
and you would get basic problem-solving skills.
Let’s return to the topic.
So what’s special about the AirCar?
It completed its first intercity flight in June last year.
From the international airport Nitra
to the Bratislava airport.
Both cities are in Slovakia.
And Slovakia is an Eastern European country.
Last month, the Transport Authority of Slovakia,
gave it clearance for take-off.
It received the Certificate of Airworthiness.
The European Aviation Safety Agency’s
all testing safety standards are obeyed by this flying car.
This is the first flying car to actually look like a flying car.
They used a BMW car as a base
and have attached wings to it.
The attempts of 60-70 years ago
was when they tried to stick a part of the aeroplane to a car.
But this is the first attempt
where the wings come out of the car.
No special fuel is needed to fly it.
The petrol that you get at the petrol station
is enough to fly this car.
Because a 1.6l BMW engine is fitted inside it.
While flying, this AirCar can reach a height of 8,000 feet.
And it can fly at the speed of 190 km/hr.
And a maximum of 2 people can sit in the car.
And to transform from an aeroplane to a car,
it takes only 3 minutes.
This is the way it transforms.
The wings can be folded to the back.
And everything’s automatic.
There’s no need to unscrew anything or to separate anything.
It is all in one piece.
You can see the wings going into the back of the car slowly
and it is transforming into a compact car.
On the road, this AirCar would look like this.
It looks like a normal car on the road almost.
But it is a little overboard at the back.
It isn’t bad.
Because some cars are long at the back.
One thing’s certain
to fly this, you would need a pilot’s license.
because it needs a proper runway to take off.
This AirCar has completed more than 200 takeoffs and landings
so there’s no doubt that it is a successful flying car.
If you want to buy it,
how much would you need to pay?
It’s said that its price will start from $500,000 ranging to $1 million,
depending upon the model you want to buy.
And within 12 months,
it will become commercially available.
Meaning, you can buy it in the market then.
The founder of Jetson 1 had said that
they see their aircraft as a means to have fun.
It’s supposed to be used by people as a fun activity.
But the company that has made the AirCar,
they believe that this AirCar,
will replace helicopters in the future.
Because the internal combustion engine of a normal car is used in it,
it would mean that it’s very energy efficient.
Normally, to fly helicopters and aeroplanes,
a lot of fuel is used.
They need special fuel.
But since this AirCar can fly with a car’s engine,
it would mean that in the future,
it wouldn’t be very difficult to use the engine of an electric car
to fly this AirCar.
It means that,
a fully electric AirCar can be possible.
It will be good for the environment
in comparison to helicopters and normal airplanes.
The most important question to arise here is;
What’s the need for this?
Can there be a practical use for these flying cars?
The most important use for these flying cars is said to be
for emergency services.
Such as for ambulances, fire engines or for the police.
One advantage would be that it would be easier to use than helicopters.
And there’s no need to build separate infrastructure for them.
Railway tracks need to be laid for trains,
tunnels have to be dug for metros,
roads need to be built for cars,
but for the flying cars, the same infrastructure can be used
that already exist.
Another major advantage of these is that
these are very flexible.
Talking about Jetson 1 aircraft,
they can land and take off from anywhere.
We will get end-to-end connectivity here.
And obviously the environmental impact,
can be reduced drastically
because normally, cars take a long time to cover long distances
but flying cars would be able to do it faster.
And they’ll consume less energy as well.
But if you talk about their disadvantages,
perhaps they have more disadvantages than advantages.
The first is that
Do we really need flying cars?
Let’s compare it with the cars.
Nowadays, cars have become very common,
in almost every city of every country in the world.
Everyone needs to take a driving test to get a driver’s license.
But despite that,
many people drive irresponsibly,
there are accidents,
so many people die in traffic accidents around the world.
If people can’t learn to drive properly on the road,
will they be able to learn to fly properly?
It’ll be 10 times more difficult.
It’ll have 10 times more scope of causing accidents.
And if an accident does occur mid-air,
it would be that much more deadly.
This is a very serious issue
how many people would need to get sufficient pilot training
to fly these?
A solution to this problem can be
automated flying cars.
That the flying cars fly automatically with interference from the pilot.
Like the automated cars nowadays,
Tesla already has these features
where the car can drive itself.
If such self-driving flying cars are made,
only then can this problem be avoided.
But talking about Tesla,
Elon Musk believes flying cars to be a bad idea.
Because according to him,
when there will be thousands of cars flying in the sky,
somewhere or other there’ll be an accident
and if one of those cars fell on someone’s head,
that person will die instantly.
The risk of people losing their lives in these accidents is very high.
And normally, when your car breaks down,
you park it at the side of the road to check it.
But if your car breaks down in the sky, where would you park it?
These problems would increase in bad weather.
Imagine that you are flying your car,
and it is very windy,
or there’s a thunderstorm,
suppose there’s a lot of turbulence.
Normally, since the aeroplanes are much larger
they can bear it.
But in smaller private jets,
there’s an increased threat from turbulence and bad weather.
And since the flying cars wouldn’t be very big,
they’ll face the same threats.
After this, there’s also the problem of safety.
It’s true that no new infrastructure is needed for a couple of flying cars,
but if thousands of cars fly in the sky,
a new system of traffic lights will need to be put up.
Such as the ones for cars.
Since the cars will be flying in all directions, there’s a dire need for traffic lights.
Newt technical standards would need to be enforced,
so that the flying cars could communicate with each other
so that there aren’t collisions and crashes.
But it wouldn’t be easy to do this.
Because today, it is so difficult for governments to make regulations for drones.
That the governments take to banning drones.
And these drones merely fly to take aerial photos and videos.
To do so for the flying cars,
how difficult it would be from the government’s perspective,
you can already imagine it.
Then comes the problem of noise pollution.
If you have flown any small drone,
you would have noticed the loud sound while flying it.
Or if you’ve gone closer to a helicopter,
it is on the next level.
That’s why you need to put on headphones in the helicopter.
These same problems exist for flying cars.
These problems exist in Jetson 1 and AirCar too.
It creates a lot of noise.
It is so noisy that it isn’t practical to use it in the urban environment now.
To deal with this, a new technological innovation is needed.
So that the noise level of the flying cars can be reduced to a bearable extent.
Apart from noise, another area which needs some innovation is the
fast charging technology.
Nowadays, drones can be flown for up to 20 minutes only.
How long would the flying cars last in the air?
With the present technology,
it can fly up to 50 km only.
after that, they would need to be charged or refuelled.
And it takes up a lot of time.
These are the practical problems
that need to be solved in the future
for this technology to be successful.
Even if all these problems are solved,
the final problem to arise here
would be the cost.
After so many innovations,
the final price of the flying car,
would be at a level where people would actually want to buy it?
Will it be practical for people to buy it?
Now the AirCar costs around $1 million,
if the cost isn’t affordable,
it would be very difficult for it to be truly successful.
This is valid for any new technology.
If the competing technologies are offered at a much better cost,
the competing technologies would be the ones to be successful in the future.
If travelling by cars, trains and aeroplanes is at a much lower price,
in comparison to flying cars,
then the flying cars would never be successful.

Aviation experts and officials from Asian cities are joining hands to develop jetliners to connect their cities.
Delegates from Tokyo, Delhi, Hanoi, Jakarta, Kuala Lumpur and Taipei attended a conference at Tokyo's Haneda Airport on Monday.
Tokyo Governor Shintaro Ishihara told the participants to work together to design passenger planes that will be used by airlines around the world.
The Asian cities want to jointly develop small- and mid-sized jetliners to meet the growing demand for air transportation and contribute to the development of the aviation industry in the region.
The delegates from Delhi told the conference that the Indian government is stepping up its efforts to develop its aviation industry.
The participants announced their targets for the next 10 years, which include manufacturing medium-sized jetliners capable of carrying 100 to 150 passengers.
They also agreed to cooperate in developing quieter and more efficient jet engines.
Most passenger jets have been developed in Europe and the United States, but a growing number of companies in Asia are producing aircraft parts.


A representative of Vietnam Airlines confirmed that the incident happened with its aircraft from Bangkok to Hanoi.
On 6 August, Vietnam Airlines’ flight VN612 is preparing to land at Noi Bai, where the flight captain discovers a laser beam with high intensity light on the cockpit, threatening flight safety.
According to representatives of Vietnam Airlines, this is not the first plane of Vietnam Airlines when landing laser exposure. Before that, in December 20-16, while preparing to land at Noi Bai airport, a plane of Vienam Airlines flying from Ho Chi Minh City to Hanoi was also exposed to green light on the cockpit, threatening flight safety.
According to statistics, in 2016 alone, nine Vietnam Airlines aircraft were laser-beamed during the landing. It is noteworthy, most of the laser lightings occur around the Noi Bai airport area.
~~>>Update on new information on the real estate news in Vietnam here: Vietnam real estate news
According to the assessment, the laser beam in the cockpit while the aircraft is in flight / landing can hurt the pilot eye, seriously threatening civil aviation safety, disorientation, loss of control temporarily machine fly. The act of laser projection on the cockpit when the aircraft is in flight / landing is in violation of international and Vietnamese regulations on civil aviation security and safety.

DEEMI presently has three unmanned aerial platforms it uses in its operations. We have the VK-Ranger EX-SAR fixed-wing aircraft, the DJI Inspire 1 UAV and the Viking VK-FF-X4 multi-rotor copter. The fixed wing unit it currently in repairs and pilots are in training. As such, the Inspire 1, a very stable platform has been used in all missions of late. The Inspire 1 is used by hundreds of first responder and law enforcement agencies across the country.
We have a number of cameras and payloads that can be used or deployed on this remarkable drone, including the standard DJI X3, DJI Z3, and the FLIR XT 640 (13mm) cameras. Using a drop mechanism, we are able to drop life vests, clothing, medicine, water, communication tools, etc. to a found victim or person in peril and need. We recently added a high lumen, tactical light to illuminate search areas from the air in remote areas. Finally, we have an underwater sonar device that can be dragged by the Inspire 1 to monitor the bottom of lake or stream if searching underwater.
While searching for a missing person, we often use either a grid type search pattern or an active real-time viewing search method. With either method, we record numerous, overlapping high-resolution images that are viewed for content and analyzed for anomalies and objects of interest by an on-site image specialist and remote, trained analysts after uploading to a central server.
DEEMI was the first Search and Rescue agency in the country to receive an FAA Part 333 certificate authorizing them to fly a UAV, or drone, for SAR operations. We now operate under Part 107 and have FAA waiver and authorization to fly at night.

The thermal imaging camera we use is the DJI Zenmuse XT. This unit is the higher resolution camera, 640 x 512 pixels with a 13mm lens. With a thermal camera, we are not restricted to visual light. A thermal camera will sense heat signatures in daylight or darkness. It will often ‘penetrate’ through tree canopy layers more readily than a visual camera can.
We post analyze the images using specialty software to optimize the objects of interest and eliminate the non-essential features.

Aircraft operators must ensure that their platforms are able to operate without significant hazard to aircrew, ground crew, passengers (where relevant) or to the general public over the areas where such airborne systems are flown. Airworthiness presents a classic “system of systems” problem, which requires a comprehensive and balanced approach to ensure cost effective engineering and operational solutions are developed.
In additional to ensuring the inherent safety characteristics of the platform (e.g. airframe, engines, flight control systems etc) mission related systems also need to be given equal consideration. Flight Management, Communications and Navigation Systems can present significant safety hazards to aircraft and their occupants in today’s crowded airspace, if not managed correctly.
Airworthiness depends on effective;
- Operational Requirement Capture
- Fully Integrated Design, Test and Evaluation process
- Use of Competent People and Organisations
- Use of Industry Best Practice & Intelligent Application of Recognised Standards
- Implementation of an Effective Safety Management System
Osprey personnel have demonstrable experience of working on a wide range of aircraft and aircraft systems. We have significant experience of providing customers with System of Systems solutions to meet their Regulatory Requirements.
We have supported clients in the following areas:
- Development of system safety case for major aircraft systems
- Whole aircraft safety cases
- Weapons system safety case
- Software system safety analysis
We have supported the following clients:
...Their input to the whole process was pivotal to it's success and it says much for the quality of the work completed that Phase 1 was achieved on time and using a "green field" scenario that was unusual in terms of achieving regulatory approval. Phase 2 was delivered on budget and on time which would not have been achieved without the excellence of product delivered by Osprey Consulting Services Ltd. As a group we will have no hesitation in utilising them in future works should the occasion arise.


Current events or trending topics don’t always align with Navy messaging, but when you can insert the Navy into the broader conversation while it’s happening, it can have a big payoff.
Yesterday, the space shuttle Discovery took it’s final flight over the Washington, DC area. Rather than just commenting on the flight or letting the whole trend pass us by, we took the opportunity to highlight the Navy’s involvement in the shuttle’s missions over the years. The following post on the Navy’s Facebook page had almost a thousand likes and 150 shares.
How have you capitalized on a relevant trending topic to feature your command’s content?


When you book a flight with a private jet company, you are making the decision to have a remarkable experience. The best private jet companies understand that a private flight is as much a part of the vacation or retreat as the experiences that occur after you reach your destination. To make sure that your voyage is as enjoyable as possible, your private jet company should do several things to cater to you.
Private Jet Safety
Private jet safety must be a top priority for any company you choose to travel with. You should never have to worry about things like whether the craft has jet insurance, the experience level of the pilot and crew, or what certifications the craft has. The company should also be on top of weather conditions so that you are kept safe and never inconvenienced by the weather.
The Private Jet of Your Choice
You should be able to choose your aircraft when you book a private jet flight. Whether you need a large craft to accommodate your large family, you wish to fly in a particular style of aircraft, or you want to reach your destination quickly, the best private jet companies will be able to make it happen. What you are flying in is an important part of the private jet experience, so your options should be limitless.
Countless Travel Destinations
A private jet company should make it easy for you to fly to any destination you desire. They should be handling the mundane details and making sure that the airports that are chosen are convenient in proximity to your home and your ultimate destination. The airports should also be as private and accommodating as possible so that you don’t have to go through all the troubles and wasted time of a commercial airport. You should truly feel like the world is your oyster when booking a private flight.
No Hassles to Worry About
When it comes to things like luggage handling and fleshing out the details of the trip, a private jet company should handle these things so that you are free to focus on pure enjoyment. One of the perks of booking a private flight is that you are the star of the show, so your luggage is not lumped in with many other bags. No fuss, no worries about losing bags, and no itineraries to carefully follow.
Your Flight, Your Way
Your private flight should be a luxurious and thoroughly enjoyable experience. Meal arrangements are generally made in advance so that the company can cater to any special requests that you have. If you have pets that you would like to bring or other preferences, the company should work with you to make sure that you are able to do exactly as you desire. If done properly, your private flight experience will be a dream come true.
