#but automated air traffic could double the capacity of the flight paths around the world and only airport capacity would constrain us.

and if an economically efficient method can be found to industrialise that process then your flight of the future could literally be fuelled by alcohol.

this could cause problems for existing flight paths. As the need for wind power increases, a solution will have to be found.

However, these flights are likely to run from dedicated spaceports and it will be some time before mixed-mode airports that can operate both spacecraft

Another issue is that flight restrictions on the F-22 were lifted just earlier this year after concerns over pilot oxygen deprivation,

a prototype of the VC200 took to the skies for its first series of test flights.

Not only was impressed the team with the smooth flight experience of the aircraft, but they were surprised also by how quiet the Volocopter ran.

The VC200 took a total of nine flights, including one that lasted nearly 22 meters.

Each flight lasted a few minutes. However, the tests were limited to indoors, so who knows what s possible once the Volocopter is taken outside?

results from the successful test flights will be analyzed for future improvements. Via Dvice Share Thissubscribedel. icio. usfacebookredditstumbleupontechnorati swfobject. embedswf (http://www. youtube. com/v/tnulea8lthi&

we search for your flight itineraries and figure out how much you can claim. If youe been delayed on a flight for the last three years,

you can claim money for that. But how much exactly can you claim? For a delayed, canceled

or overbooked flight in Europe, you can get up to $800 per flight. In the U s.,you could end up with $1,

300 for an overbooked flight. That why airlines will fight you very hard not to give you your money back.

According to Airhelp, only 0. 1 percent of eligible passengers get their compensation. Not only Airhelp will do the hard work for you,

while also developing advanced algorithms to help the aircraft better traverse wind patterns and flight routes.

Smart sensors installed across the city will also provide real-time information and services on weather, traffic, entertainment, tourism, emergency services and flights.

Advances in pre-flight automation mean that the rocket dubbed Epsilon can be ready to lift off in about a week with fewer people in mission control helping to slash costs to about $38 million per launch much cheaper than its heavier labour-intensive predecessors.

After a few delays due to weather and a technical glitch the Antares launch vehicle lifted off on its maiden flight on 21 april.

Hempsell says Skylon could potentially make 100 flights annually which if true could in its first year recoup the money spent in R&d

If and when the engine passes flight tests one of Reaction engines'plans is to license the technology to a potential partner in the aerospace industry.

It all starts with regular SSTO flights. Very awesome breakthrough on heat exchange. This single breakthrough will ripple through a host of applications.

This saves on the weight of oxygen that would otherwise be needed for the flight through the atmosphere.

4. If LOX is an oxidiser for at least part of the flight where is the tank?

5. If LOX is used for part of the flight its weight needs to be factored in. Not just the weight of liquid hydrogen.

Schmale developed his unmanned aerial vehicles with a colleague at Virginia Tech as an alternative to costly manned research flights.

The fin had been pulled from storage where it had been sitting deflated since test flights several months before.

Unlike most drones which have a pilot dictating their every move#by remote control the X-47b is largely autonomous calculating its flight paths.

The elevons were used successfully for numerous flights with a hand launch and a ground landing (landing is a particularly dangerous time for hardware).

The Antares rocket that was about to send the Cygnus spacecraft on the ISS exploded a few seconds after its launch from NASA's Wallops flight facilities.

As stated by NASA's press conference the flight termination system was activated. This is a remote manual intervention that initiates a self-destruction mechanism

and their battery life only allows for short flights. To increase the range of a small UAV one idea is to pair it with an unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) that can carry it to a site of operation and transport heavier cargo.

#The Distributed Flight Array: Modular robots that self-assemble, coordinate and take flight he whole is greater than the sum of its partsâ##a catch phrase that aptly expresses the Distributed Flight Array:

a modular robotâ consisting of hexagonal-shaped single-rotor units that can take on just about any shape or form.

Although each unit is capable of generating enough thrust to lift itself off the ground on its own it is incapable of flight much like a helicopter cannot fly without its tail rotor.

However when joined together these units evolve into a sophisticated multi-rotor system capable of coordinated flight and much more.

otherwise be impossible to achieve on its own â##flight. This modular flying vehicle would then break apart in the air

1) docking (2) coordinated ground mobility and (3) coordinated flight. In accomplishing each of these tasks we would in turn validate our model

and to demonstrate coordinated flight in several configurations. Our goals were too ambitious under the framework of this class

in order to make the vehicle lighter for flight. Its primary limitation however was its inability to demonstrate coordinated mobility for randomly assembled configurations.

We opted instead for constructing the chassis out of laser-cut acetal plastic a higher-powered flight motor and a new propeller.

and thrust generation unit (i e. propeller and flight motor) from scratch but kept most of the power and control electronics the same.

The new flight motor and propeller was tested to ensure that it produced a sufficient amount of thrust

and constructed six complete units for flight. In this revision we demonstrated coordinated flight for a variety of configurations.

The flight controller was computed ahead of time and sent wirelessly to each unit prior to flight. Knowing that the chassis

and thrust generation unit was sound we then went ahead and integrated driving capabilities and intercommunication into the units.

To successfully accomplish this the flight control strategy must minimize the shear forces occuring between interconnected units during flight.

but the most striking feature of the Distributed Flight Array is its ability to fly in an unlimited number of configurations.

What is most surprising is that the units themselves do need not necessarily to communicate with one another during flight.

The only information that a unit needs for flight is its local sensor data and its position with respect to the vehicle centre of mass.

We instead developed a means for automatically computing the tuning parameters for any flight-feasible configuration of the vehicle that would result in best flight performance.

The Distributed Flight Array is currently being used at the Institute for Dynamic Systems and Control at ETH Zurich as a modular robotics platform for investigating algorithms in distributed estimation and control.

and to process the images after the flight. This processing now happens when the player visits the highscore table

in order to maintain flight, but this makes it difficult for them to fit into smaller spaces.

the team had to first designate the primary mode of locomotion in this case flight, as the DALER will cover the longest distances this way.

so as to satisfy the constraints of both ground locomotion and flight. The best shape found for these wingerons is a triangular one.

Flight maneuverability requires rapid wingeron movements and low torque, whereas walking requires the opposite conditions.

to force the working point of flight control inside the operating range of the terrestrial actuator,

while not compromising flight maneuverability. A second issue in creating a fixed wing drone capable of walking on the ground is with the morphology, thanks to the different centre of mass requirements for the two modes of locomotion.

For fast forward flight, the vehicle tilts to a near-horizontal orientation, resulting in efficient lift production due to the conventional wing design.

So far we have done this on five flights, "said Bill Fredericks, one of the aerospace engineers working on the project, in a NASA press release."

Kathmandu's Tribhuvan International airport, the main entry point for flights bringing in international aid since the April quake, was closed anew Tuesday as a precaution.
