Synopsis: Transport & travel: Air travel: Flight:

I'd assumed the flights would be fairly straightforward, with a well-established air miles system in place for most major airlines.

I have my heart set on flying to Bangkok with KLM because Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport offers the best stopover experience,

But the Dutch airline is partnered to the Flying Blue group. So instead of KLM, I'd have to stump up nearly double the price for a direct flight with British airways,

or travel with one of the other members of Oneworld Alliance, such as Cathay pacific, which flies via Hong kong at three times the price of a KLM ticket.

The AV-8B HARRIER flying with US MARINE CORPS today is a very different machine from the first of its kind,

After a short flight that saw it climb to 30,000 ft (9, 000m) over the capital city,

Today, I flew the world's first 100%biofuel flight, said pilot Tim Leslie on landing the National Research Council of Canada (NRC) craft.

The flight went smoothly and the data collected enables us to better understand the impact of biofuel on the environment,

The NRC test is the latest in a series of demonstration flights aimed at proving the worth of biofuels.

withat least 15  airlines and several aircraft manufacturers performing flight tests with various blends  containing up to 50%biofuel.

And, in 2011, KLM became the first airline to test it in regular commercial flights between Amsterdam

and Paris. All of these tests oe including Transatlantic flights-have shown that biofuel  works well,

leading the chief scientist of environmental group Greenpeace to label the first flight by Virgin as high-altitude greenwash.

which may have played a role in the evolution of flight scientists report in a study published today (March 14) in the journal Science.</

The origin of flight is debated by many experts. In the oetrees down theory it is thought that small reptiles may have evolved flight from gliding behaviors.

In the oeground up hypothesis flight may have evolved from the ability of small Theropods to leap high to grasp prey.

Feathers probably evolved from early body coverings whose primary function at least at first was thermoregulation. At any rate it is clear that Avians were highly successful

or frequency of these understory fires Doug Morton a researcher at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt Md. and the study's lead author said in the statement.

Landing is arguably the most nerve-racking element of any flight. To execute a safe landing a pilot needs to know the plane s speed and its distance from the landing surface.

and analysed the speed and trajectory of the flight and landing. They found that the closer the bee got to the target the slower she flew.

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

But after all of these years Mitchell's commitment to bald eagles is staying Alive with the beginning of the 2014 flight season in early March Byrd began the 38th year of his involvement in the aerial survey.

but the census flights remain a primary tool for keeping tabs on the population. The annual bald eagle assessment involves two rounds of flights.

The first the survey round begins in early March and involves systematically flying over all tributaries to check nests that we've recorded from previous years.

and breeding success. Three of us have been doing these flights together for 23 years. We make a good team.

Those lazy flying days of the'70s when nests were rare and a day's flying could be recorded on a single sheet are gone long.

The tremendous population recovery has made for intense flying days when we set goals of checking on 100 nests before breaking for lunch.

The census surveys have gotten pretty intense since the bald eagle population has recovered. Eagles mostly eat fish

These flights involve more than just keeping track of the numbers of breeding eagles in our territory.

and that's why it's so important to continue the research especially these annual census flights.

Still fresh are the memories of undertaking long heartbreaking flights without finding a single nest.

Remote-controlled drones are much better at flying through smoke than human pilots: their infrared eyes can track the edge of a fire even through the thickest air.

Flying through smoke is a great task for a drone but requiring another plane to follow along behind it defeats the whole point of using an unmanned plane in the first place.
