	Concept to Reality
		After the primary impact, the airplane fuselage was to slide between a corridor of wing openers designed to cut the wing tanks and ensure spillage of the special fuel.
		In the actual impact, however, the approach to crash was not controlled as precisely as desired and the outboard engine of the left wing contacted the ground first as a result of a 13∞ roll and yaw attitude.
		The controlled impact was spectacular, with a large fireball enveloping and burning the 720 aircraft.

	Controlled Impact Demonstration - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Controlled Impact Demonstration (or more colloquially the Crash In the Desert) was a joint project between NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to test the impact of a Boeing 720 aircraft using standard fuel with an additive designed to suppress fire.
		It was planned that the aircraft would land wings-level and exactly on the centerline during the CID, thus allowing the fuselage to remain intact as the wings were sliced open by eight posts cemented into the runway.
		The CID impact was spectacular with a large fireball enveloping and burning the B-720 aircraft.

		Impact of the fuselage was at column line 14, at or slightly below the second-floor slab, and the right wing crossed at a shallow angle from below the second-floor slab to above the second-floor slab.
		The impact effects may be represented as a violent flow through the structure of a “fluid” consisting of aviation fuel and solid fragments.
		Such a limit, whether it is controlled by limiting strains in the concrete or in the reinforcement, is difficult to determine without directly relevant experimental data because the strain distribution over the column section in the regions of plastic hinging becomes acutely nonlinear at that stage of behavior.

	NASA Dryden Controlled Impact Demonstration (CID) Aircraft Movie Collection
		Jet-A fuel had demonstrated the capability to inhibit ignition and flame propagation of the released fuel in simulated impact tests.
		This flight, called the Controlled Impact Demonstration (CID), was the culmination of more than a year of preparation in a joint research project by NASA and the FAA to test the effectiveness of anti-misting kerosene (AMK) in a so-called survivable impact.
		It was not exactly the impact that was hoped for, but research from the CID program yielded new data on impact survivability which helped establish new FAA rules regarding fire prevention and retardant materials.

	Designing a Prescribed Fire Demonstration Area
		Although demonstrations are most common in agriculture, they are also used in home landscaping, forestry, soil and water conservation, rural development, and other areas of extension expertise.
		A prescribed fire demonstration area makes it much easier for local citizens to understand why natural areas are burned, how prescribed fires are managed, and how quickly the vegetation in a burned area regenerates (Figure 1).
		For a demonstration area to have a lasting educational impact, it should be visible to a large number of people.

		The FAA designed the C.I.D. to underscore results of exhaustive research in two areas of aircraft safety: improved crash protection and reduced post-crash fire hazards.Despite the fact the crash did not go exactly as designed C.I.D.did achieve its primary objectives.The analysis of C.I.D. data continues.
		The CID's crash wothiness tests were as important to the FAA as the fire safety tests.
		The crash protection objectives were: 1st: To obtain data on impact forces and their transmission thru the structure to the seats and occupants.

		The additive, FM-9, a high-molecular-weight long-chain polymer, when blended with Jet-A fuel had demonstrated the capability to inhibit ignition and flame propagation of the released fuel in simulated crash tests.
		On the final flight (No. 15) with no crew, all fuel tanks were filled with a total of 76,000 pounds of AMK and the remotely-piloted aircraft landed on Rogers Dry Lakebed in an area prepared with posts to test the effectiveness of the AMK in a controlled impact.

		At the heart of the Run-to-Run (R2R) Control Framework is the GCC, the Generic Cell Controller, which serves to support the R2R control algorithms and coordinate control and information flow between the various R2R Control modules.
		The generic qualities of the GCC are due to (1) its use of a dynamic database to store and maintain the control scheme, and (2) its modularity and use of the object-oriented technology, which is exploited to the fullest in the current implementation.
		The GCC supports the complementary utilization of multiple control and optimization algorithms, and uses fuzzy logic to determine the right algorithm among the available candidates to control the process for a particular run, resulting in more complete coverage of the control and optimization space.

		Scars from debris impact are visible to the south of the collapse area, as high on the facade as the tops of the fourth-floor windows.
		Immediately upon impact, the Ring E structure deflected downward over the region from an expansion joint on column line 11 south to the west exterior column on column line 18 (figures 3.8–3.10).The deformation was the most severe at the expansion joint, where the deflection was approximately 18 in.

		One of the objectives of this CID (Controlled Impact Demonstration) was to demonstrate that the AMK (Anti-misting-kerosene) additive to the fuel would significantly degrade a post crash fire from ruptured fuel tanks (see attachment PW-1)
		The subject CID test attempted to recreate a typical crash impact that was survivable under G-loading by the passengers and seat structure while at the same time ensuring that fuel tank ruptures and a persistent ignition source (tail mounted rocket) were also present to evaluate the degree of fire in an aircraft runway excursion.
		A B720 aircraft was used fuel by AMK and the aircraft was to be flown remotely so as to touchdown on a runway heading (without gear down) and to intersect steel cutter blades that would rip the fuel tanks open with attendant fuel spillage in turbulent flow conditions.

	9-11 remote control - down with murder inc by captain wardrobe
		A radio on board the aircraft links it to the nearest control tower, and a separate satellite link relays speech to and from the aircraft's operators on the ground, who thus appear to be inside the plane, even though they may be on the other side of the world.
		There were two very obvious hard requirements at this stage, the first a primary control channel for use in taking over the flight control system and flying the aircraft back to an airfield of choice, and secondly a covert audio channel for monitoring flight deck conversations.
		Once the primary channel was activated, all aircraft functions came under direct ground control, permanently removing the hijackers and pilots from the control loop.

		Based on rooftop area, runoff volume from a 0.19” rainfall and the 75-gallon barrel capacity, approximately 0.21 acres out of the total 0.25 acres of rooftop area was controlled during the rain barrel demonstration project.
		Results show that the rain barrels controlled approximately 27,521 gallons out of a total of 211,950 gallons of runoff during the study period.
		The cost effectiveness of rain barrels as an integral part of the Long Term Control Plan stormwater volume control is somewhat questionable at this time because of the large number of 75-gallon barrels required to control a significant percentage of roof area.

		Harris noted, as has been underscored by the B612 Foundation, that if Apophis is indeed on an impact trajectory, then ground-based radar observations will not be able to refine the impact probability to greater than 20 percent.
		Harris said that he would not recommend a “deep impact” type of scientific mission, “lest we have the misfortune to deflect it into a keyhole, but other than that, Apophis is a very attractive mission target.”
		The point of impact, for instance, could be inadvertently shifted from one part of the world to another by an intervening spacecraft, jeopardizing one country instead of another.
