	History of the Aerospace Industry
		As a socio-political phenomenon, aerospace has inflamed the imaginations of youth around the world, inspired new schools of industrial design, decisively bolstered both the self-image and power of the nation state, and shrunk the effective size of the globe.
		Aerospace firms that were not consolidated in the mid-1970s, after aircraft lost in Vietnam were replaced, pursued diversification strong in the belief that the engineering skill that made American aircraft so dominant could also make world-class busses and microwave ovens.
		Aerospace employed 1.3 million Americans in 1989 or 8.8 percent of everyone working in manufacturing; by 1995 aerospace employed only 796,000 people or 4.3 percent of everyone working in a manufacturing industry.

	Aeronautics - The Aerospace Industry
		Some of the goals of the aerospace industry are exploring the possibilities of life in outer space and solving the problems of life in an advanced technological society on this planet.
		Aerospace plants range in size from large factories of major manufacturers, each with tens of thousands of employees, to shops of small subcontractors and suppliers with only a few workers each.
		Aerospace personnel usually are paid somewhat higher than the national average for comparable work in other fields.

		The EADS Phoenix, a German-designed prototype of the future European Shuttle, was dropped by a helicopter at 9:45 a.m.
		Guided by GPS satellites, the shuttle "landed perfectly" on the test runway after a 90-second flight, said Johanna Bergstroem-Roos, of the North European Aerospace Test Range in Kiruna, 770 miles north of the capital, Stockholm.
		The test flight was originally planned for Friday but was postponed so technicians could finish analyzing data from an earlier test of the vehicle's onboard computers this week.

		The North Star, a modified DC-4, was one of General Dynamics' first planes when it was still called Canadair.
		When the dust settled from the management overhauls in the early 1960s, General Dynamics teamed with aerospace company Grumman to bid on the TFX (tactical fighter experimental), a Navy-Army dual-purpose variable wing airplane.
		European militaries ordered 348 planes to be built at plants in Belgium and the Netherlands.

	FT.com / Asia-Pacific / North Korean nuclear crisis - N Korea ‘likely to test nuclear bomb’
		North Korea will probably test a nuclear weapon, with an even chance of doing so this year, as Kim Jong-il’s regime tries to assert its defiance in the face of increasing international pressure, said Richard Armitage, former US deputy secretary of state.
		A [North Korean] spy was captured here [in August], there were shots fired in the demilitarised zone and they launched missiles [in July] . . . so their next logical thing is to demonstrate that they actually do have a device,” he said in Seoul yesterday.
		The thousands of rods that North Korea claims to have processed so far could have provided enough fissile material for as many as 10 bombs, although it is impossible to verify whether Pyongyang has been able to build a workable nuclear weapon.

		The shuttle prototype, called Phoenix, is one of several proposals for a European reusable launch vehicle (RLV) planned to cheaply ferry satellites into orbit by 2015.
		The prototype is being used to test ways of landing without the intervention of human controllers.
		The first will repeat Saturday's flight but the next two will test "more demanding" landings, in which the craft will be dropped from a different angle or orientation to the landing strip.

		For years the European Commission (EC) has been battling with this issue, and in 1999 it proposed a new regime for dual-use goods—aircraft, for example—that can be used for both civil and military purposes.
		Ultimately it will be up to the European Council, which represents the member governments at a European level, to decide on where the exact margins of competency lie and how commonly agreed guidelines can be policed.
		Hamre told the delegates that Europe’s aerospace industry would have to find ways to narrow the technological gap between the two continents—and that, as a prerequisite to this, a relaxation of U.S. export controls would be needed.
