B777 Dreamliner Etops Suresi Uzadi

Amerikan Federal Havacılık İdaresi, Boeing 787 Dreamliner serisinin ilave uzatılmış operasyonlara katılma kabiliyetini (ETOPS) dün onayladı. Amerikan Federal Havacılık İdaresi, Boeing 787 Dreamliner serisinin ilave uzatılmış operasyonlara katılma kabiliyetini (ETOPS) dün onayladı. 787 modellerinin, iniş sahasından 330 dakikaya kadar uzaklıktaki bölgelerde uçabilmesine olanak sağlayan bu onay, uçağın teknik kabiliyetlerine olan güveni sürdüğünün de işaretini veriyor. Dreamliner serisi 2011’de hizmete girdiğinden bu yana iniş sahasından 180 dakikaya kadarki uzaklıklara uçabiliyordu. Genişletilmiş operasyonel iznin alınması, kabiliyet şartlarını karşıladıktan ve kendi düzenleyici kurumlarının onayını aldıktan sonra havayollarına yeni rotalarda uçuşlar başlatabilme imkanı sağlayacak. Boeing Ticari Uçaklar Başkan Yardımcısı ve 787 Programı Genel Müdürü Larry Loftis, “Müşterilerimiz kendi 787 operasyonlarını genişletme konusunda istekliler. En başından bu yana bu uçağın tasarımlarının içinde bulunan bu kabiliyetin tescillenmiş olmasından çok memnunuz.” dedi. ETOPS operasyonları, binlerce pound tasarruf ve karbon emisyonunda azalma sağlayabilen doğrudan uçuş rotalarının sayısını artırmayı mümkün kılarak 787 model uçakları çok daha etkin hale getirecek. Bugüne kadar 60 müşteri 1.030’dan fazla 787 modeli sipariş etti. Boeing tarafından 19 müşteriye 146 Dreamliner teslim edildi.

Virgin Racing Team

We’re incredibly excited about our new adventure into Formula E withVirgin Racing. I thought it was time to introduce the team’s Reserve Driver – yours truly!

I’m listed as the Reserve Driver, and I assure you I will be very reserved indeed. I’ve always loved a challenge, but I’m not sure my driving is up to scratch to take on the pros of Formula E.

Anyway, I’m sure newly announced team drivers Jaime Alguersuari and Sam Birdwill be a great job and, with some good luck, we could be celebrating at the end of the season.

There is a lot to be excited about in Formula E. Showcasing electric car technology on a thrilling global scale could have huge benefits in the future.

Plus, the fact the races are going to take place right in the middle of major cities around the world will be tremendous for fans.

The Championship begins on September 13th 2014 in Beijing. I can’t wait for us to get on the track (though I may let Jaime and Sam do the driving…)

Lufthansa Arizalari Saklamis!

Lufthansa’nın, uçaklarında meydana gelen küçük arızaların büyük bir bölümünü Federal Havacılık Dairesi ile Federal Uçus Güvenliği Dairesi’ne bildirmediği ortaya çıktı.

Alman Birinci Televizyon Kanalı (ARD) Monitor haber programı, 2012 ile 2013 yılları arasında sadece A380 uçağında 125 kez zehirli gaz sızıntısı meydana geldiğini, bunların sadece 29’nun ilgili makamlara bildirildiğini ileri sürdü. Uçak Kabin Çalışanları Sendikası Ufo Başkanı Nicoley Baublis de, Lufthansa’nın bütün arızaları bildirmemesini eleştirip, 65 arızanın kabin görevlilerinin sağlık durumlarını etkilediğini söyledi.

Life on the galactic frontier

I’d like to die on Mars

By GE Look aheadPosted May 18, 2014

A year ago, one of Silicon Valley’s most noted executives, Elon Musk, made headlines with a simple proclamation: “I’d like to die on Mars.” The billionaire founder and CEO of both SpaceX and Tesla Motors isn’t the only one looking at the red planet as a future destination for human civilisation. In 2012, the Defence Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) announced the 100 Year Starship, a joint initiative with NASA, tasked with achieving interstellar travel within 100 years, with the hope of getting humans to Mars by 2030. Earlier this year, President Obama extended funding for the International Space Station (ISS) for at least another decade, and space agencies from countries including the US, India, China, Russia and Japan committed to collaborating on space exploration. The enthusiasm for Mars is not limited to billionaire entrepreneurs and governments. In 2013, Mars One, a private space organisation in the Netherlands, received more than 200,000 applications to be part of a four-person team to go on a one-way mission to colonise Mars in 2024.

Currently, manned flight within our solar system does not fully leverage the advances in rocket propulsion and gyroscopic capabilities that have made unmanned voyages into deep space possible. Former NASA astronaut Franklin Chang Diaz plans to change that with the ambitious goal of bringing astronauts to Mars in as little as 39 days. Diaz’s Houston-based company, Ad Astra, is working with NASA to build the Variable Specific Impulse Magnetoplasma Rocket (VASIMR VX200), which employs electromagnetism to accelerate and fine-tune spacecraft propulsion outside of orbit. The first rocket test launch is scheduled for 2015 and aims to make a marked improvement on the nearly nine-month journey currently projected by NASA.

Colonisation, however, presents a host of challenges beyond landing on the surface of Mars. We first need better understanding of the elements that support synthesis and sustenance of life in environments both unfamiliar and inhospitable to humans. In preparation for survival outside our planet, NASA exobiologists are already examining the chemical composition of Martian terrain and incorporating their analysis into the agency’s future mission to Europa, Jupiter’s icy moon. American biologist Craig Venter, famed for his early sequencing of the human genome, has proposed equipping future unmanned rover missions with next-generation DNA sequencers to scan and analyse the genetic sequence of extraterrestrial compounds and then radio the sequence to Earth for synthesis and further testing. In 2016, the German Aerospace Center will send a satellite mission into low-Earth orbit to study regenerative food production, making it the first synthetic biology experiment to occur outside of Earth’s atmosphere.

To pay for these efforts, space agencies around the world are turning to both governments and private funders. SpaceX, for example, has received more than $240m in capital financing and multi-billion-dollar contracts from an international consortium of public organisations to bring supplies to the ISS. However, decreased political will and dwindling public budgets are creating funding uncertainty for such projects. But scientific investments, similar to those in GPS and MRI scanners, can bring widespread benefits that extend beyond their initial research objectives. Despite the inevitable challenges ahead, humanity’s Promethean reach for the stars can yet again bring fire to the Earth below.

Change in the air for remotely piloted aircraft

© Thinkstock

CASA has published its notice of proposed rule making (NPRM) about changes to the regulations governing remotely piloted aircraft (RPA). Interested people and organisations have until June 16 to give CASA their response.

The changes to Civil Aviation Safety Regulation Part 101 relate to RPA used for commercial operations, but not model aircraft used for recreation.

The NPRM establishes a revised risk-based framework for regulating RPA operations.  A key part of this is acknowledging a low risk class of RPA operations, for small RPA with a gross weight of 2 kg or less that are operated under a restricted set of operating conditions.

For these RPA operations, CASA proposes that there will be no requirement for a Remote Pilot (RP) Certificate or an Unmanned Aircraft System Operator’s Certificate (UOC).

The NPRM says: ‘The general consensus is that RPA with a gross weight of 2 kg and below have a very low kinetic energy, pose very little risk to aviation and have a low potential for harm to people and property on the ground and other airspace users.’

However, RPA with a gross weight above 2 kg in all operating conditions, and all RPA operating outside of the standard RPA operating conditions, will still require operational approval.

The NPRM can be found here.
