NASA Super Guppy 377SGT-F N941NA

Image
The Super Guppy aircraft was acquired by NASA from the European Space Agency under an International Space Station barter agreement. Manufactured by Airbus Industries, ESA supplied the aircraft to offset the cost to NASA of carrying ESA experiment equipment to the station as part of two future Space Shuttle flights. The new Super Guppy is the latest version in a long line of Guppy cargo aircraft used by NASA. Guppy aircraft were used in several past space programs, including Gemini, Apollo, and Skylab, to transport spacecraft components. The first Guppy aircraft was developed in 1962, designed specifically for NASA operations by Aero Spacelines of California.      An innovative approach to management of the new Super Guppy allows the aircraft to be leased from the government for other cargo-carrying operations when it is not being used to ship NASA spacecraft components. The leasing of the aircraft is hoped to offset the cost of operations.

SmartBird - Robot That Flies Like Bird

Image
The geniuses at Festo's Bionic Learning Network are well known for their fascination with robotic animals, and their latest creation is no exception. Dubbed the SmartBird, this autonomous bionic bird -- modelled on herring gulls -- graces the sky with its sophisticated two meter-long wings, which utilize a bending torso for lifelike directional control. What's more, this robot is also capable of taking off and landing on its own, but it can also be controlled and monitored from afar using ZigBee radio. Amazingly, all of this round up to just one pound, meaning the SmartBird can happily float about with moderate flapping. Jump past the break for some agile in-flight action, accompanied by an animation detailing the inner workings. Plenty of robots can fly -- but none can fly like a real bird. That is, until Markus Fischer and his team at Festo built SmartBird, a large, lightweight robot, modeled on a seagull, that flies by flapping its wings "Festo, w

Grand Canyon Skywalk

Image
"The Grand Canyon Skywalk" The Grand Canyon Skywalk is a horseshoe shaped cantilever bridge and tourist attraction in Arizona near the Colorado River on the edge of a side canyon in the Grand Canyon West area of the main canyon. USGS topographic maps show the elevation at the Skywalk's location as 4,770 ft (1,450 m) and the elevation of the Colorado River in the base of the canyon as 1,160 ft (350 m), and they show that the height of the precisely vertical drop directly under the skywalk is between 500 ft (150 m) and 800 ft (240 m) Music from CD: Sacred Spirit: Chants And Dances Of The Native Americans. Track:Counterclockwise Circle Dance There are claims that original song and music is not Native American but rather from Native tribe of Norway.

Drone From Remote And Computer - Robotics Hobby

Image
Multicopters is an exciting new area of hobby robotics. They are also sometimes known as UAV's, and essentially they are "flying hobby robots". They are made with a center that holds micro controllers, sensors, receivers, transmitters, power and payload. Pointing out from the center are a number of pins holding motors and propellers. This is the first episode looking at Multicopters, and Frits has a very advanced Hexacopter in the air. Later episodes will look at products you can buy, and some cool cheap and less complex alternatives new on the market will be demonstrated.

High Altitude Long Endurance-Demonstrator - HALE-D

Image
The U.S. Army and Lockheed Martin launched the first-of-its kind High Altitude Long Endurance-Demonstrator July 27, 2011, from the historic Akron Airdock. The HALE-D is an unmanned lighter-than-air vehicle designed to demonstrate advanced new technologies and capabilities for keeping American soldiers safer through improved communications. The airship is completely powered by advanced solar cell technology and rechargeable lithium ion batteries. No injuries or damage were experienced during this landing. MS2 is in the process of recovering the airship and will conduct a full evaluation. High Altitude Airship demonstrates successful launch during abbreviated flight on 27 Jul 2011. Demonstration proves a number of key technologies and systems.

Inside the Fedex 727

Image
shot at the Dayton Air Show on Saturday July 23, 2011 at Dayton International Airport. This 727 along with more aircraft were on static display and available to walk inside and snap photos and so on. The cockpit shots might seem a little quick b/c a lot of people where in line waiting so I had to be brief. I hope everyone loves the quality - I got more coming so don't worry! Thanks for watching!

Image
July 20th, 2011: The first squadron of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) was formally inducted into the Pakistan Navy fleet on Wednesday. The induction ceremony was held at Pakistan Navy Mehran airbase in Karachi. The indigenously developed drones can be employed in support of Maritime Interdiction Operation (MIO) in the coastal areas. Chief of Naval Staff, Admiral Noman Bashir congratulated everyone involved in the UQAB-II programme and expressed satisfaction on the induction of UAVs. He said the induction was a manifestation of the navy's commitment and resolve towards self-reliance and indigenization. vodeo by PTV
