How do you feel when the U.S. Air Force brings the thunder to a major sporting event? Claire Mercuriot talks about Flying in Chamonix-Mont-Blanc Claire Mercuriot continues to be competitive in a sport dominated
What’s more, Sammy is named after his grandfather, a legendary airshow performer, Lockheed test pilot, International Aerobatic Club Hall of Fame inductee and the first person to fly a loop in a helicopter. Sammy took his first flight just weeks after being born with his mom in the family...
Mike, there, in the center just got out of the Air Force Academy. He’s an[unclear at 12:47]flight commander, RAF [Royal Air Force] in the UK. He’s got 56 Airmen working for him and they love him. Some of you knew him. Next slide. Kay [ph] is a Director of Public Affairs...
3.2.3. Phase of Flight Figure 3a shows the distribution of the aircraft-maintenance-related accidents in the different phases of flight. The mode is observed to be enroute (ENR) or cruise. Similarly, for the ASN summary data for phase of flight, ENR is the most common phase of occurrence...
Through reasonable flight control by the controller, the parafoil airdrop system can achieve autonomous flight and airdrop materials to the designated destination. Without external interference, the airdrop system drops steadily under the action of gravity and aerodynamic force. In order to ensure ...

It almost looks as if they’re defying gravity. The secret lies in their throttle management. By setting the throttle just above the minimum (min_throttle), pilots can minimize downward force when inverted, yet keep the PID loops active to maintain stability. ...
Date (year) of the aircraft’s first flight; Accident category (A1, denoting a hull loss, or A2, denoting that the aircraft is repairable). Other characteristics were also included but not of interest (registration, serial number, flight number, and departure and destination airports). Some ca...
