The future is arriving - finally. It’s time to invest. The phantom bogeyman of a massive Recession often promoted by fear mongers on the far right, just hasn’t happened. Meanwhile, the far left in Congress stymies pro development legislation, removing language that would support commercial space activities from the current #NASA authorization - a project of the #SpaceFrontierFoundation. Yet the industry is accelerating. By next year, we will have two large scale rocketships flying, another commercial flight to the Moon, our first private sector EVA, and many smaller projects well underway. These are about to be followed by the arrival of the first private space facilities - all of which are trying to incubate and support new industrial customers. It’s not crypto, but it’s not crazy. Time to get on the launchpad! #SpaceRevolution #NewWorlds #NASA #SpaceX #BlueOrigin #RocketLab #Firefly #Voyager #Axiom #Vast

In this week's #aerospace top stories: Artemis mission advances, United Airlines CEO assures safety, and AICM gets a new director. This and more in your weekly roundup! #MexicoBusinessNews #MexicoBusiness #WeeklyRoundups

The commercial space industry is experiencing rapid growth with private companies increasingly transporting cargo, satellites, and personnel into space. Overseeing these operations is the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). In anticipation of expanding its oversight to include manned missions, the FAA established a rulemaking committee in April 2023 to gather industry insights for future regulations aimed at safeguarding the health and safety of individuals in space. Furthermore, recognizing the need for additional manpower, the FAA is actively recruiting more personnel to bolster its efforts. However, attracting a qualified workforce has proven challenging, prompting the agency to introduce recruitment and relocation incentives.

what's the common link between the most stylish (past) mode of transatlantic travel, the best way to explore venus on its surface, and the best way of collected automated science readings from underwater? airships! i.e. gliders of all kinds I'm developing a tool that can calculate airship styles and paths (for only these 4 scenarios at first) that can hopefully bring back the style of the 20s and tech of today! #buildspace #s5 #nightsandweekends #aerospace #airship #ML

In 1984, NASA conducted a groundbreaking research experiment by deliberately crashing a Boeing 720 in the Mojave Desert. This Controlled Impact Demonstration was a joint project with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) aimed at testing the effectiveness of an anti-misting fuel additive in a real jetliner crash scenario. The experiment not only focused on assessing the impact of fire after a crash but also shed light on the challenges of passenger survival in such situations, leading to the development of new safety regulations. The meticulously planned crash test involved over four years of preparation and utilized a remotely piloted Boeing 720, registration N833NA, which had served its useful life after accumulating over 20,000 flight hours and 54,000 cycles. The experiment was a pivotal moment in aviation safety research, demonstrating the commitment of NASA and the FAA to enhancing transport aircraft occupant crash survivability and advancing safety measures in the aviation industry. #aerospace #aviation #aircraft #aircrafts #airplane #airplanes #aviationlovers #engineering #technology

🛩 A Glimpse into Aviation History: ✈ 🕰 The First Issue of Flight International (1909) - News of the Week ⏰ I'm thrilled to share a piece of #aviation history with you all the first ever issue of Flight International magazine from 1909. This publication marks the dawn of a new era, chronicling the early days of aviation when pioneers were taking their first leaps into the sky. This #magazine is not just a collection of articles; it's a testament to human innovation, ambition, and the relentless pursuit of flight. It's fascinating to see how far we've come since these early days, and this document serves as a reminder of the groundbreaking efforts that paved the way for today's advancements in #aerospace. 💎 Whether you're an aviation enthusiast or just curious about the #history_of_flight, I hope you find this as inspiring as I do. 💎 #AviationHistory #Innovation #FlightInternational #Aerospace #PioneersInAviation #Turbocompressors #Machinery

Alaska Airlines Bets On Blended Wing Body Airliner. JetZero a California based aviation company planning to build a Blended Wing Body (BWB) aircraft has secured funding from Alaska Airlines. With the BWB, the wings and the fuselage provise lift, and could provide a 50% increase in efficiency and 50% decrease in emissions, compared the wing-and-tube design of most aircraft. Its design would be roomier for passengers and can accommodate hydrogen tanks easily. The funding was made through Alaska Star Ventures, the airline's investment arm which hopes to change the future of aviation by supporting technologies that will help it reach #NetZero carbon emissions by 2040. Alaska Airlines participated in JetZero's series A funding last year and was the first airline to do so. JetZero has also partnered with Northrop Grumman Scaled Composites, LLC, United States Air Force and is working with NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration and the Federal Aviation Administration to develop this aircraft and get it to market. The Blended Wing Body trend is, as previously posted heating up.

🌟 On This Day in History: October 14th 🌟 On this day in history, October 14, 1947, Chuck Yeager made aviation history by becoming the first person to break the sound barrier. Piloting the Bell X-1, affectionately named “Glamorous Glennis” after his wife, Yeager achieved this groundbreaking feat over the Mojave Desert, California. This momentous event marked a significant leap forward in both military and commercial aviation. Yeager's Bell X-1 reached a speed of Mach 1.06, approximately 700 mph or 1,127 km/h. Yeager’s accomplishment pioneered advancements in aeronautics and space exploration, serving as a shining example of human innovation and the relentless drive to push beyond known limits. Reflecting on this achievement, it’s inspiring to consider how far we’ve come in aviation and technology, and how much further we can go when we dare to dream big and push the boundaries of what’s possible. What achievements or individuals have inspired you to dream big and push boundaries? 🚀✈️ #OnThisDayInHistory #Aviation #Innovation #Aerospace #ChuckYeager

Cleared for Supersonic Flight Boom Supersonic XB-1 has secured a Special #Flight Authorisation (SFA) to Exceed #Mach 1 from the FAA. XB-1 test #flights will continue to be conducted in the R-2508, complex & #supersonic operations will occur in the Black Mountain Supersonic Corridor & in a portion of the High Altitude Supersonic Corridor within the R-2515 #airspace, which has been used extensively for #research & #military supersonic #aeronautical operations. XB-1’s SFA follows a thorough review & environmental assessment, it also extends to the chase #aircraft, which will trail XB-1 to observe, monitor & record the #safety of flight. Chase #planes accompany new aircraft to observe how the test plane is handling & verify things like #altitude, airspeed, & #airworthiness during flight. Now that XB-1 has successfully completed its first flight & received authorisation to fly supersonic, the team will systematically expand the flight envelope to confirm its performance & handling qualities through & beyond Mach 1. This includes in-flight checks of all systems, as well as multiple test points demonstrating safe margin to flutter (vibration) boundaries. Nevertheless, there are still a total of 10 to 20 flights planned before reaching the magical speed. The first flight of XB-1 marked the return of a civil supersonic aircraft to the #skies 20 years after Concorde’s retirement. Supersonic business jets, that sounds so nice. #businessjet’s are awesome! #bizjet #bizav https://lnkd.in/dhGaGTXF

In recent years, Europe has made significant progress in the field of multi-satellite missions. ESA’s Automated Transfer Vehicle has demonstrated precision down to a few centimeters when docking with the ISS, while Sweden’s Prisma mission has demonstrated formation flying for brief periods, maintaining centimeter-level accuracy across tens of meters. Proba-3 marks the next step in formation flying. Scroll to discover more about this mission! ➡️ #SenerAerospaceAndDefence #Proba3
