	A soaring success
		The aircraft is intended to fulfil a variety of other roles, such as those of an eight-seater executive transport, a light package carrier and an air ambulance and for VIP transport, coastal and border patrol, disaster management, and aerial research services such as remote-sensing, surveillance, geophysical survey and mapping.
		The decision to place the indigenous aircraft in this segment was based on three market surveys, conducted in 1991, 1994 and 1998, which consistently showed that there was a potential for a feeder airline, particularly in the northeastern sector.
		The aircraft uses a judicious mix of aluminium alloy (in wings, stub wings and fuselage) and composite material (in empennage or tail assembly structure, flaps, control surfaces and nacelle) to realise an efficient structure with a 30,000-hour life.

	FBI had warning of attack on a civilian aircraft
		The FBI gave a warning six months ago that civilian aircraft could be targeted by al-Qaeda terrorists firing missiles from the ground.
		Aircraft are most vulnerable to attack from shoulder-held missiles when they have just taken off or are coming in to land.
		Civilian airliners are harder to hit than military jets, despite being much larger, because they emit far less heat.

		I believe that this aircraft designed and produced by Douglas in the 1930s was a milestone in aviation history.
		It was not the largest or the fastest aircraft at the time but its combination of economy and reliability resulted in an average cost of four cents per mile to operate verses the then standard of seven cents per mile.
		Only eleven aircraft were ever manufactured but they all lead very interesting lives.

	NDM Article - Man-Portable Missiles Imperil Both Military, Civilian Aircraft
		Aircraft operators fear heat-seeking missiles mainly because the energy from IR-guided weapons often cannot be detected by the targeted aircraft.
		Equipping aircraft with IR countermeasures is costly—running anywhere from $1 million to $4 million per airplane, depending on the system.
		But the technologies are available in the military market and easily could be transitioned to civilian aircraft, said Robert L. Del Boca, vice president for IR countermeasures and laser systems at Northrop Grumman Corp.

		Commercial aircraft remain almost exclusively jet propelled - vectored thrust VTOL vehicles fuelled by liquid hydrogen, and using highly advanced, adaptable, low-noise jet engines.
		The only exception to the general trend is the Minervan MZ-94, the worlds only commercial grav-thrust aircraft.
		It is considerably more spacious inside than a jet airliner of the same size, with passengers sitting on two levels with a lounge in the centre of the upper deck, with a large skylight.

		But with airport security noticeably tightened after the Sept. 11 attacks and hijackings of commercial aircraft no longer as easy to arrange, terrorists are rediscovering the strategic advantages of shoulder-fired missiles.
		A Western law enforcement official, also speaking on of anonymity, said intelligence suggests terrorists are working to acquire such missiles and that governments must take the threat seriously.

	De Havilland Aircraft Company
		Good aircraft need good engines, and De Havilland was dissatisfied with those that were available.
		In an era when boxy biplanes still were common, the Comet showed a highly streamlined form that foreshadowed the speedy fighter aircraft of a decade later.
		In 1959, De Havilland Aircraft merged with the firm of Hawker Siddeley Aviation, while the engine division became part of Bristol Siddeley.

		While traveling, the President is able to conduct all the functions of the office aboard two custom-built Boeing 747 aircraft popularly known as Air Force One.
		When the President boards this helicopter or any other Marine Corps aircraft, the aircraft uses the call sign "Marine One".
		(Previously, an Army aircraft dubbed "Army One" was also used.) "Navy One" and "Coast Guard One" are the call signs used if the President is aboard an aircraft belonging to those two services—for instance, when President George W. Bush landed aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln in a Navy jet.

		The scope of reference is civilian commercial aviation because that represents the greatest potential risk to the travelling public and is, coincidentally, the source of most systematically collected data.
		The maximum acceptable BLDT value, for aircraft with a rotation velocity between 55 KT and 100 KT, was found to be 10.6 mm, according to a correlation with a 2D model study performed at NASA Lewis Research Center by Boeing Canada de Havilland Division.
		Because aircraft structures are susceptible to corrosion and fatigue damage, which concentrate at joints, there is a possibility of interactions between corrosion and fatigue, especially as aircraft become older.

	F-35 JSF - Military and Civilian Aircraft
		Navy attack/fighter aircraft have been preferred to have two engines in case one is lost during flight.
		The choice of a single-crew aircraft was accepted - subject to continued studies and appropriate technology maturation - on the projection that a single crewmember could perform all of the intended missions.
		Once the aircraft have completed their flight test programs and the JSF Program Office has had the opportunity to review the proposals from Boeing and Lockheed Martin, a single contractor will be awarded the Engineering & Manufacturing Development (EMD) contract to begin developing and producing the F-35 JSF for the U.S. and its allies.
