Synopsis: Transport & travel: Air travel: Aircraft:

Now, archaeologists around the world are beginning to embrace the same technique, flying aircraft over everything from Stonehenge to patches of scrub

Both the Chases and Fisher teams admit that cruising over the tree-tops in a plane does not totally supplant the need to get up close and personal with a site.

A Nice Little Cabin in the Sky The typical plane cabin is drier than the Arizona desert,

But there are already planes in the air#made mostly of carbon fiber#that solve this problem. Carbon fiber is markedly stronger by weight than the aluminum used for most existing planes,

which means that the interior air pressure can be adjusted to more comfortable levels without the risk of damaging the fuselage.

Japan airlines and Nippon Airlines bought the first crop of these new planes. They re currently in service between Tokyo and Boston. 12.

there is some uncertainty over how much flexibility the federal government has given really agriculture to use the aircraft.

Even farm operators and drone companies are divided over how much authority they have been given to fly the aircraft.

Until then, the agency said some operators will continue to incorrectly assume they can operate drones under the guise of existing model aircraft rules

which would cover planes flown for personal use below 400 feet, within eyesight and a safe distance from airports and populated areas.

We are concerned about any (Unmanned Aircraft Systems) operation that poses a hazard to other aircraft or to people and property on the ground,

#Can We Protect Against The next Moore Tornado? The scenes of devastation in Moore Okla. after a possibly 2-mile-wide tornado tore apart schools and homes on Monday (May 20) led to an inevitable question:

Could anything have been done to save buildings and lives? The answer according to tornado experts and building engineers is yes though there are roadblocks in the way.

Some are scientific because meteorologists have yet to fully grasp why tornadoes form when they form

and how to predict their paths. Others are economic: Building a tornado-proof building for example is already completely possible albeit very expensive.

There's no doubt we could engineer something that could withstand an EF4 or EF5 tornado said Darryl James a professor of mechanical engineering at Texas Tech University.

The question is who could afford it? Despite these challenges researchers are working to make sure future tornadoes wreak less destruction

whether that means getting a better grip on where tornadoes are likely to form and move or protecting property

and people once the tornadoes have arrived. Â Â Predicting twisters The Moore Okla. tornado touched down at 2: 56 p m. CDT (3: 56 p m. EDT) on May 20

and spent 40 minutes on the ground carving a 17-mile-long (27 kilometers) path of destruction through the Oklahoma city suburb.

The National Weather Service pegged the tornado as an EF5 on the Enhanced Fujita scale meaning winds reached more than 200 mph (322 km h).

) See images of the Moore tornado damage Tornados as strong as the one that ravaged Moore are relatively rare.

About 95 percent of tornadoes in the United states are EF2S or below according to the National Climatic Data center.

Only about 1 percent reach EF5 status. Predicting which storms will generate monster tornadoes or any tornadoes at all remains a challenge.

The basics of tornado formation are simple enough. When wind and humidity conditions are right thunderstorm systems can begin to rotate

and become what are called supercells. Supercells are marked by the presence of a mesocyclone a rotating updraft of air that can sometimes create a funnel cloud.

Exactly why this happens in some storms and not others is a key mystery. We're trying to be able to figure out why of two pretty much identical supercells one will generate a tornado

and one won't said Amy Mcgovern a computer scientist at the University of Oklahoma in Norman. Mcgovern and her colleagues are among the researchers trying to improve tornado predictions.

Using supercomputer simulations she and her team are working to model tornadoes on a very fine scale tracking their movements to within 165 to 245 feet (50 to 75 meters).

On-the-ground observations can only take researchers so far Mcgovern said. Radar can't sense every component of the wind's movement for example.

or temperature to see whether and how each influences tornado formation. At the 165-to 245-foot level of precision building a stable realistic simulation is difficult.

The team has done similar work to predict airplane turbulence with great success so once the database of simulated storms is built using them to predict real-world weather should be said successful she.

when a tornado is bearing down. On Monday the National Weather Service office in Norman Okla. gave residents 16 minutes of warning before the tornado even formed based on radar indicators that the storm clouds were circulating in such a way that a tornado was likely.

That 16 minutes is 3 more minutes than the average tornado warning time of 13 minutes.

The actual time most residents had to seek shelter was been longer because it took the tornado time to reach them.)

Ultimately researchers want to get quicker. Mcgovern's work could help meteorologists look for clues in storms that make tornado conditions more likely.

The eventual goal said William Gallus a meteorologist at Iowa State university is warn-on-forecast.

In other words meteorologists would be able to forecast tornadoes and issue warnings rather than waiting to see rotation

Using tornado simulators Gallus and his colleagues are working on understanding how local topography affects the way a tornado might move

and strengthen. For example they've found that ridges cause tornadoes to deviate left as they climb up

and right as they descend. Narrow valleys can also funnel wind into tornadoes from a mile

or so away Gallus said causing damage far afield from the actual funnel cloud. 50 Amazing Tornado Facts Moore in particular has been hit by three violent tornadoes in less than 15 years:

One in 1999 one in 2003 and one on Monday. Most scientists see that as a coincidence

Statistically that should not happen for about a million years to have a violent tornado pass by the same spot three times

Gallus isn't the only researcher looking to get a hyper-local look at how tornadoes work.

Tornado protection Once a tornado is on its way though saving lives can be a matter of having a place to Go in Moore students at Plaza Towers Elementary huddled in interior hallways

and bathrooms but a direct hit by the tornado collapsed most of the building. Likewise homes in neighborhoods hit by the tornado were destroyed completely.

As of Wednesday the death toll stood at 24 10 of whom were children. Video:

War Zone Sad experience is teaching that some old tornado safety tricks aren't as effective as hoped particularly

when buildings aren't designed with tornado safety in mind. In Joplin Miss. a 2011 tornado killed 158 according to the National Weather Service (the city of Joplin pegs the death toll at 161.

Among the devastated buildings was a local high school and some of the spots disaster experts would normally suggest people go for shelter turned out to be among the most badly damaged there.

Building in tornado country Even in Tornado Alley buildings are designed to withstand only 90 mph (145 km h) straight-line winds said Partha Sarkar who studies wind engineering and aerodynamics at Iowa State university.

and doesn't take into account even the most common types of tornadoes. An EF1 tornado can sustain gusts of up to 110 mph (177 km h).

) What's more Sarkar said rotational tornado winds can put even stronger stresses on buildings than straight-line winds.

A 90-mph tornado can be much more damaging than a 90-mph straight gust.

The buildings are designed simply not to withstand that level of wind he told Livescience. The Deadliest Tornadoes in U s. History Designing a tornado-proof building is said expensive Sarkar.

You need reinforced masonry steel or composite materials instead of timber and enhanced connections between walls foundations and roofs

and that will certainly help to make them stand up to most medium-intensity tornadoes EF2S EF3S maybe Sarkar said.

Another option would be tornado shelters another feature frequently missing from Tornado Alley construction. The storm shelters today are designed for 250 mph (402 km h) wind speeds

and we feel that is higher than will ever be experienced at the ground level in a tornado said Ernst Kiesling a mechanical engineer at Texas Tech and the executive director of the National Storm Shelter Association.

Shelter from the storm Unfortunately cost prevents homeowners in even tornado-prone areas from installing these shelters.

For Sarkar tornado-ready construction is a national issue. It's not going to go away he said.

#The Robotic Search For Lost WORLD WAR II Airmen Click here to see the galleryon a bright morning in Mid-march Pat Scannon stands on the deck of a 40-foot catamaran looking for an airplane hidden in the waters of Palau

He has spent the past 20 years making annual wreck-hunting trips to Palau about 500 miles from the Philippines to find aircraft that had been shot down during one of WORLD WAR II's fiercest battles planes that may still be holding their pilots His organization Bentprop Project

Bentprop could find planes in a tricky marine environment with steep terrain fast currents and coral heads while Scripps tested circulation models and advanced imaging systems.

The mangroves growing along the shore around Palau are so dense that aluminum wreckage from aircraft has been found sitting on top of the tree canopy about 30 feet up.

and suddenly you're in a supersonic jet. By the 1920s Palau had grown into a thriving Japanese port for goods and services en route across the Pacific.

And between the beginning of the air campaign and the end of the war Bentprop estimates 200 U s. aircraft were shot down inside Palau's barrier reef.

Some 40 to 50 planes and 70 to 80 airmen have never been recovered. Scannon a medical doctor and founder of a biotechnology company first visited Palau in 1993 as a recreational scuba diver.

He came with a group looking for a Japanese naval vessel that had been sunk by George h w bush who flew torpedo bombers during the war.

When he researched Palau's history at home he realized there must be many more planes in ruins around the islands.

Combing the jungle and surrounding waters they located debris from more than five dozen aircraft. Last year local spear fishermen diving on Palau's western barrier reef stumbled across one of the most impressive finds:

an intact plane. They alerted the owner of a dive shop who passed photos of the wreck along to Bentprop.

Scannon's team eventually identified the plane as an American Corsair. It had sustained some damage to its left forward wing root

It gave us great hope that there were other intact airplanes out here that no one has seen.

Bentprop calculates that eight American planes including A b-24 bomber remain hidden in Palau's western lagoon.

It carried 10 to 11 men including a pilot and copilot gunners bombers a radioman and a navigator.

the rest presumably went down with the plane. We have very very good information about

We got a plane! Moline announces. Everyone springs up and huddles around the screen snapping photos with their phones.

Reuter had used an archival map of observed plane crashes to mark Google earth layers with known wreck sites;

and wonders if it could be the pontoon of a floatplane. If that's intact it tells me it was speed a low impact perhaps ditching says Daniel O'brien a former skydiver

My first impression is that's a Zero a long-range fighter aircraft. There are rounded edges at the tail.

But if it is a floatplane the only U S. airplane it could be would be amphibious.

Flip Colmer a former Navy pilot who now flies for Delta also with Bentprop reaches for the book Floatplanes in Action

During WORLD WAR II floatplanes in Palau often flew rescue operations. As they scooped airmen from the water another plane provided cover overhead.

Bentprop knew that two Kingfishers on reconnaissance missions had disappeared during the war and the western lagoon seemed the most likely location for them to have ended up.

The identification number painted on the plane's exterior would have degraded by now; to confirm the exact craft divers would try to recover a stamped metal plate riveted to the inside of the cockpit.

The Japanese also flew seaplanes. If there's any primer left on the interior of the cockpit

U s. airplanes used lime-green zinc chromate; the Japanese had a red primer. The team will have to get a close look.

With the boat now directly over the plane the dive teams begin to suit up.

Terrill fills his scuba tank with nitrox to allow himself more time to explore the aircraft 100 feet below.

and O'brien. He carries a handheld sonar that displays acoustic images on an LCD screen allowing the divers to zero in on the floatplane even in five-foot visibility.

The front motor and propellers have broken away from the body of the plane so that it now resembles a chewed-off cigar or the burnt end of a firecracker.

The next day Bentprop compares the aircraft in the western lagoon with a hundred different vintage planes.

The high-speed reconnaissance floatplane had a single engine contra-rotating propellers and a center pontoon that could be jettisoned during an attack.

It's a very unusual aircraft one of the rarest archaeological planes you will find he says.

Of more than 60 aircraft Bentprop has identified in Palau half of which are Japanese the team has recovered just one metal plate stamped with a serial number:

that of the American Corsair discovered by the spear fishermen. That plate revealed the Corsair's story.

On November 21 1944 a young Marine captain named Carroll Mccullah set off from the American airfield to finish off a Japanese vessel that had been bombed earlier.

an explosion at the last one sent shrapnel into the oil cooler of his plane.

Then he tightened his seat belt locked the canopy back and turned off the plane's engine switch.

and swam across the reef where a rescue aircraft swept down to pick him up.

Today Mccullah's plane rests intact on the seabed with its nose up against the edge of the reef like a car driven up onto a curb and abandoned.

-and-bar symbol the aircraft has been scoured to bare aluminum. Scripps wants to use its technology to document this chapter of the Corsair's story too before it ends altogether.

We're not only here to find and detect underwater objects but to get a snapshot of the state of those objects that may be corroding

Suzanne Finney an American archaeologist working with Palau's Bureau of Arts and Culture joins us for the 45-minute boat ride to the site of the Corsair.

With data from the robotic vehicles Palau can add downed aircraft to an inventory of the country's rich underwater sites something previously unattainable for an office that can barely afford to buy gas for a boat.

When we reach the Corsair engineers lower the Remus now equipped with Gopro HERO3 HD cameras into the water

Back in California Terrill and his team will use the thousands of captured images plus hundreds of photos taken by human divers to build a 3-D reconstruction of the plane.

#Many retired men enjoy tinkering in the garage to fill the hours working on an old Jaguar XKSS say

Michaud a 72-year-old grandfather and former Exxonmobil engineer has spent his golden years trying to manufacture tornadoes--tornadoes that he believes could eventually power the world.

or tornado would be more effective because it would be easier to capture the energy of moving air via a turbine than to capture the energy involved in condensation.

He made his first prototype of the Atmospheric Vortex Engine (AVE) a machine that produces mini tornadoes--in 2005

***To understand how artificial tornadoes could generate electricity it helps to know how a tornado works in the natural world.

Tornadoes start when conditions are just right when air closest to the Earth's surface is at least 20 degrees Celsius warmer than the air above.

Higher up the wind speed of the tornado will spin the wheels of attached turbines generating energy.

And the vortexes that would result could rise a whopping 15 kilometers in the air (natural tornadoes have clocked in at almost 9 kilometers high.

What you're doing is feeding it from the bottom he says adding that simply closing the lower vents that feed hot air will stop the cycle and kill the tornado.

if the vortex engines remove hot air from surrounding areas they could actually prevent a tornado from occurring as there's less heat to start one.**
