Synopsis: Transport & travel: Air travel: Air travel:

10-seater plane was in the process of making aviation history. After a short flight that saw it climb to 30,000 ft (9, 000m) over the capital city,

As a result, they are viewed by many as one of the main ways the aviation industry can reduce its carbon footprint.

That's important when you realize that aviation currently accounts for around 2%of all greenhouse gas emissions according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change,

and the director of the Laboratory for Aviation and the Environment.""Estimates vary from 5 to 10%,because of the altitude at which aircraft fly.

because air travel is growing Â. quickly. Â In fact, between now and 2030, the number of passengers and number of fights is likely to more than double

and also just the sheer size of the land area that would be needed to cultivate enough biomass to feed the growing aviation industry.

However, there is still a long way to go before these crops are grown on anything like the scale needed to support aviation.

The agent bought the plane tickets and got him a forged passport that made Karabou older than he was.

Airline flight attendants seem to be able to discern the difference between mobile phones and personal computers in their in flight announcements,

We are the people who know airline flight attendants better than we know our own wives.#

but after a few months in orbit, apparently folks will try anything to break up the monotony. 1. Mystery Meals Space station flight engineer Garrett Reisman kept the cameras rolling

The Guerrilla Grafters address the first two problems by making sure each grafted tree has a steward#who can monitor

In addition to the obvious skills of aviation and agriculture, they need people skilled in wireless communications, image sensors

and video. 2.)LP960 from Lehmann Aviation (Lehmannaviation. com) The LP960 is able to detect damaged crops by taking aerial images with a thermal camera

which was also in charge of agricultural aviation. They wanted an unmanned helicopter for crop dusting that could help reduce labor

Once the Federal Aviation Administration establishes guidelines for commercial use, the drone industry said it expects more than 100,000 jobs to be created

and that at some point in the future groundwater pumping rates are going to have to decrease study lead author David Steward a professor of civil engineering at Kansas State university said in a statement.

10 Health Status Signs Taking water measurements Steward and his colleagues collected data on past and present groundwater levels in the Ogallala Aquifer and developed statistical models to project various

It would take an average of 500 to 1300 years to completely refill the High Plains Aquifer Steward added.

if we're able to save water today it will result in a substantial increase in the number of years that we will have irrigated agriculture in Kansas Steward said.

Steward and his colleagues anticipate future technologies will help farmers irrigate their land more efficiently.

which means that every year we're growing about 2 percent more crop for each unit of water Steward said.

The findings could also help inform aeronautical engineering projects working to design aircrafts capable of flying at high elevations Dillon said.

Whoever wins the race will be aided by advanced light aviation engineering according to Mike Mangold an American aerobatics pilot who won the Red Bull Air Race World Championship twice

The program will also look at using sawdust and wood shavings to power aviation. Biofuels have developed in response to the high costs of oil production

Meanwhile spikes in food prices over the past few years have tampered government enthusiasm for biofuels that divert food crops even as the European union intends to reach an annual output of 2 million tons of aviation biofuels by 2020.

We need to be stewards of our lands take the initiative to take care of our land our Mother Earth.#

The rocket ship, developed by aviation designer Burt Rutan and bankrolled by British billionaire Richard Branson,

but says that countries missed an opportunity to spell out long-term climate funding, perhaps through a levy on international aviation and shipping.

from where they will start to map lunar gravity in March 2012. go. nature. com/msewftregulation of aviation's greenhouse-gas emissions is set to start in the European union.

From 1 january, aviation was included in the European union's Emissions Trading System, with airlines expected to buy permits covering 15%of their carbon dioxide emissions in 2012.

naphtha and aviation fuels from old electricity poles. Kior expects to begin producing gasoline and diesel from southern yellow pine trees at its Columbus, Mississippi facility at the end of the year.

and others, ranging from synthetic biologist George Church of Harvard Medical school to environmental gadfly Steward Brand of the Long Now Foundation

says lead study author David Steward, a civil engineering professor at Kansas State university. It would take a concerted effort the researchers calculated that farmers would need to reduce their pumping of the aquifer by roughly 80 percent to withdraw water at the rate that could be replenished naturally by rainfall.

Steward and his colleagues measured the water-level change in all of its 3, 025 wells at the beginning and end of five-year periods between 1960 and 2010.

Steward hopes that the study will encourage people to find better ways to use the limited resource."

When the Forest Service asked the Federal Aviation Administration for permission to use unmanned aerial systems to monitor wildfires the FAA said no

But the effort is being slowed by Federal Aviation Administration regulations. The use of drones in open airspace is regulated by the F. A a

âÂ#Âoein terms of federal regulations right now we can t use U. A s. s out there except on a very limited basisã¢Â# said Ron Hanks the aviation safety

âÂ# John Gould the aviation chief at the B. L. M. who along with Mr. Hanks is based at the National Interagency Fire Center in Boise Idaho had a similarly cautious perspective.

The Federal Aviation Administration (F. A a.)the organization responsible for assessing environmental impacts and deciding whether to grant licenses to launch vehicles into space says the effects of black carbon in the stratosphere are unclear.

Note the nonretractable landing gear and externally carried missiles. However stealthy the Hamaseh's bulbous head may appear exposed landing gear missiles

and a push propeller are the opposite of stealth. Why? Because they stick out from the drone in a way that catches radio waves

With the landing gear retracted into a smooth belly there are hardly any broad perpendicular edges for enemy radar to detect.

Not even U s. commercial aviation widely acknowledged as the safest form of travel can match that safety record.

I do agree with Anyicon's statement about comparison to air travel yes it's by all means the safest mode of travel out there

The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating the incident and the FBI announced that it is looking for information leading to the drone operator.

and did so without notifying air traffic control it would've been illegal. The construction of the drone however is very likely to have been totally legal.

If anything this incident should highlight the immediate need for a new air traffic control system. The one we have is overtaxed ancient and incapable of meeting future needs as few as 10 years from now.

Make it socould Popsci please talk to an aviation lawyer or at least someone from the Academy of Model Aeronautics before writing a story like this?

And doing so in that particular place could indeed still be considered illegal under a general provision in the Federal Aviation Regulations prohibiting careless or reckless operation of an aircraft.

The Federal Aviation Administration is in the process of drafting new rules governing unmanned aircraft in civilian airspace including military-style aircraft.

I really hope they launch a steward's inquiry into the Tesco horsemeat scandal. We must find out hoof to blame.

Those findings are part of a recently published study by David Steward professor of civil engineering and colleagues at Kansas State university.

and that at some point in the future groundwater pumping rates are going to have to decrease Steward said.

Steward conducted the study with Kansas State university's Michael Apley professor of clinical sciences and an expert in cattle production;

and present day in those regions Steward and colleagues developed a statistical model that projected groundwater declines in western Kansas for the next 100 years

Once depleted the aquifer could take an average of 500-1300 years to completely refill given current recharge rates Steward said.

and it shows Steward said. Water use efficiencies have increased by about 2 percent a year in Kansas

what decisions are made about reducing the use of the aquifer's water in the near future Steward said.

Steward said the researchers went as high as 80 percent because that closely aligned with the aquifer's natural groundwater recharge rate of about 15 percent of current pumping.

if we're able to save water today it will result in a substantial increase in the number of years that we will have irrigated agriculture in Kansas Steward said.

Steward said he hoped the study helps support the current dialogue about decisions affecting how water can help build resiliency for agriculture in the future.

We really wrote the paper for the family farmer who wants to pass his land on to his grandchildren knowing that they will have the same opportunities that farmers do said today Steward.

Farmers can be the stewards of our landscapes so that we as a society we can pass them in a healthy state to the next generations.

For example we're discussing what standards the aviation sector should recognize to meet their sustainability expectations.

She stressed that international harmonization is vital for the aviation industry because of looming compliance mandates for carbon reductions in Europe.

Although the requirement has been postponed until January 2014 the aviation sector is actively seeking ways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through biofuels.

Local people are the stewards of their environment and ultimately decide whether a species will remain in the environment around them

Mapping where distinct species are on the planet also gives insight into which areas and countries steward disproportionate amounts of bird evolution.

The technology could also supply a source of renewable jet fuel required by recent European union aviation emission regulations.

The Chicago Department of Aviation recently put out a bid calling for someone to supply goats to eat up some weeds surrounding O â¢Hare

It didn t take her long to realize that the work performed in this little lab is a big help to the military, the aviation industry and of course, the birds.

So the Federal Aviation Administration and the military fund the Smithsonian lab in order to learn more about the strikes

the public became more aware of the danger that birds can pose to aviation safety.

even as air travel has become less convenient and more unpleasant. Transit-hub based bus service enjoyed 6 percent growth in 2010,

we can easily imagine air travel returning to its roots as a mode of travel that only the wealthy can afford.

On September 28, 2010, the Federal Aviation Administration issued a Light Sport Aircraft certificate for the Maverick Sport,

and (at least domestic) air travel for their vacations. But these parents are worried about the threat pollution poses to their quality of life.

And certainly there an art to being a good steward. The canvas we have to perform our art on is our own backyards It is indeed the landscape.
