Miniature radar may put UAVs in the air -- GCN

http://gcn.com/blogs/emerging-tech/2014/06/uav-radar-sense-and-avoid.aspx

The biggest hurdle for unmanned aerial vehicles to clear in order to gain Federal Aviation Administration approval for use in the national airspace is development of systems to prevent them from crashing into each other and, even more important, into manned aircraft.  And the key challenge in developing such a "sense-and-avoid" system has been developing technology that can reliably detect the presence – and the course – of other aircraft and to engineer it into a package small enough and light enough for UAVs.

Researchers at the University of Denver's Unmanned Systems Research Institute may have the answer.  The group has developed a phased-array radar system that weighs only 12 ounces and is small enough to fit in the palm of one's hand.

Este sábado 28 de junio, a partir de las 10 de la mañana, la Universidad Politécnica de Cataluña · BarcelonaTech (UPC) y el Aeroclub Barcelona-Sabadell realizarán vuelos parabólicos en gravedad cero para estudiar el comportamiento del cuerpo humano en ausencia de gravedad, informa la UPC en una nota de prensa.

Uno de los experimentos es de la Universidad Rovira y Virgili, se llama Bilogía-1, y su objetivo es analizar la respuesta combinada cerebro-corazón bajo condiciones de hipergravedad y gravedad reducida durante cortos periodos de tiempo. Además, se comprobará si ante un estímulo de tipo sonoro se mitigan las posibles alteraciones observadas. Se prevé que las conclusiones obtenidas puedan aplicarse a minimizar los efectos nocivos en personas que tienen pánico a volar, entre otras aplicaciones.

En los experimentos participarán una estudiante de la Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingenierías Industrial y Aeronáutica de Terrassa, y un estudiante de doctorado de la UPC.

Irak compra cazas rusos, cansado de esperar los aviones F-16 de EE.UU. – RT

Los aviones de combate "llegarán a Irak en dos o tres días", aseguró Al Maliki, que agregó que ayudarán a destruir los refugios de los terroristas.

El primer ministro iraquí afirmó que EE.UU. se está demorando demasiado en la entrega a Irak de 36 aviones de combate y lamentó que el retraso haya dejado a sus tropas sin apoyo aéreo.

"Sinceramente, nos engañaron cuando firmamos el contrato [con EE.UU.]", dijo Al Maliki.

A 31-year-old pilot took off from Oakland, California, Thursday, flying a single-engine plane and hoping to make history. And her name just happens to be Amelia Earhart (no relation to her famous namesake).

The modern-day Earhart is planning to recreate the same journey; an around-the-world flight that's expected to take nearly three weeks.

Airbus Helicopters' X3 high-speed demonstrator makes its new home at France's national Air and Space museum

After opening the frontiers of flight during a record-setting test program, Airbus Helicopters' X3 is now ready for its place in history as this high-speed helicopter demonstrator is welcomed for display at the French national musée de l'Air et de l'Espace (Air and Space museum) of Paris-Le Bourget.



The X3 will be exhibited in the musée de l'Air et de l'Espace's hangar facilities at Paris-Le Bourget airport, being strategically located with other high-speed legends – Europe's supersonic Concorde jetliners.



"We welcome this illustrious addition to France's leading aviation museum, where our collection includes other historic rotorcraft from Airbus Helicopters' lineage – like the S.A. 3210-01 Super Frelon, which 50 years earlier set a world speed record of 350 km/hr," explained Catherine Maunoury, CEO of the musée de l'Air et de l'Espace and twice world aerobatics champion. "The X3 continues a tradition of excellence at Airbus Helicopters, building on decades of innovation, research and development."



Airbus Helicopters pursued the X3 development as part of self-funded company efforts to evolve rotorcraft that offer new ways to perform missions, fly faster and farther, and reduce operating and maintenance costs. The X3, known as a hybrid helicopter, demonstrated the company's high-speed, long-range, Hybrid Helicopter (H3) concept.



"It is appropriate that the X3 is joining other renowned aircraft at the Musée de l'Air et de l'Espace that have helped shape the aviation industry, especially since from its conception, it showed Airbus Helicopters' entrepreneurial drive to deliver a viable demonstrator to serve our customers' high-speed requirements," said Airbus Helicopters Executive Vice President Global Business & Services, Dominique Maudet.



From its maiden take-off in September 2010 to its retirement in 2013, the X3 fully validated Airbus Helicopters' hybrid concept, using a pair of turboshaft engines to power both a five-blade helicopter main rotor and two propellers installed on short-span fixed wings.



During more than 155 hours logged by the aircraft in 199 flights, milestones achieved included a level flight speed of 255 knots (472 km/hr) on June 7, 2013 – surpassing previous high speeds reached by a helicopter. While exploring the full flight envelope in cruise, climb, at altitude and during descent, the X3 validated this high-speed concept's qualities – including outstanding stability, intuitive piloting characteristics, as well as low vibration levels without the need for anti-vibration systems.



The X3 also served as an ambassador of innovation during a demo tour in the U.S. in the summer of 2012 to demonstrate this advanced high-speed transportation system's unique operational capabilities for both civil and military operators. The final stop at Washington D.C., where the X3 landed on the helipad of the Pentagon, marked a symbolic moment in the X3's frontier-pushing history. Three months later, the X3 was in the spotlight at the ILA Berlin air show where it participated in flight demonstrations and gave European aficionados an up-close look at its unique characteristics.



Airbus Helicopters foresees a wide range of potential applications for a hybrid helicopter configuration that may be developed from the X3 concept, offering an advanced, cost-effective vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) transportation system with speeds of a turboprop-powered aircraft and the full-flight capabilities of a helicopter. Its applications could include long-distance search and rescue (SAR) operations, coast guard missions, border patrol flights, passenger transport and off-shore airlift, along with inter-city shuttle services.



The combination of higher cruise speeds and excellent VTOL performance also is well-suited for military missions, such as special forces operations, troop transport, combat SAR and medical evacuation. The X3 concept is particularly well suited for missions requiring long transit flights at high speeds, while retaining full vertical lift and hover capabilities – all at a very affordable cost.



The X3 resulted from a rapid-paced program that utilized one of Airbus Helicopters' Dauphin helicopters as the airframe, providing a test platform with a maximum take-off weight of 5,200 kg. In addition to the more symbolic aspect of achieving record velocities for a rotorcraft, the X3's flight evaluations enabled Airbus Helicopters to further explore the behavior of main rotors at high speeds, while also assessing the effectiveness in drag optimization.



About the musée de l'Air et de l'Espace



Located at Paris-Le Bourget airport, Europe's premier business aviation airport, the French Air and Space museum is one of the world's leading aviation museums. With an exceptional historic heritage, it is the only museum in the world to present the three fields of flight: ballooning, aviation and space. It has an incredible collection of more than 400 aircraft, 150 of which are on display, from the very first aeroplanes to the Breguet 19 TF "Point d'Interrogation", which made the first Paris to New-York non-stop flight and two Concorde, the first prototype and one of the aircraft from the Air France fleet. The "Rotary Wing Hall" presents the entire history of helicopter since 1907. Bridging the past and the future, the prestigious musée de l'Air et de l'Espace is a lively place, holding events throughout the year, regularly acquiring items for the collection, hosting activities for all-including Planète Pilote for children and being hired for various events and for filming. The musée de l'Air et de l'Espace is also a site museum. In fact, Le Bourget is a place that all aviation heroes have been through, including Charles Lindbergh. It is the birthplace of commercial aviation and includes buildings that are themselves of great cultural interest, like the terminal building with its Art Deco architecture. At the controls of the musée de l'Air et de l'Espace is Catherine Maunoury, twice world aerobatics champion.

The money shot: 747 line inside the Boeing factory

Back in the 1960s Boeing made a big gamble. They decided to build the world's largest airliner, the Boeing 747 Jumbo Jet. To build such a beast, they would need a large facility. After careful consideration, Boeing decided to build a large factory in Everett.

Since the first 747 rolled off the line in 1968, every other 747 has been built under the same roof. Even today, the 747-8 is built in the same factory.

In case you didn't know the aircraft type, there is a large sign on the wall.

Although Boeing offers public tours of the facility, they do not allow cameras. I was lucky enough to participate in a media event and take photos of the 747 line in the factory and I wanted to be able to share. Enjoy…

This 747-8 is looking forward to a nose job
