Harris Corp. an American technology company has succeeded in major expense savings and delivery milestones for avionics supporting the F-35 Lightning II, the Melbourne, Fla.-based aerospace producer noted this week. Since the commencement of the F-35 program, Harris has worked with engineering partners to deliver more than 780,000 items with 99.8 percent on time precision, which includes vibration secluded and liquid cooled avionics racks, power supplies for all aircraft mission systems, network boundary units that allow fiber optic data communication among mission subsystems within the entire aircraft, phased array antennas and data links that guarantee encoded and secure communication among the aircraft, and lightweight air-filled carriage and release racks that support the aircraft’s low visible profile.

Learn MoreThere was a time when flying was just in the imagination of people’s minds, and many have tried to attempt to fly and failed. It wasn’t until the wright brothers put all their dedication and effort to invent and succeed the first prototype of an airplane. Since then airplanes have become a thing of the future, it allows us to travel thousands of miles in matters of hours when it used to take weeks and months to travel somewhere. Technology is another aspect that goes hand in hand with airplanes; the better technologically advanced we are then the better we can create solutions in the air. A simple example can be when the Global Positioning System, or GPS was invented it made flying much easier because the since of direction and the ability to derive the location of the airplane has become significantly easier. Pilots are no longer dependent on the stars to locate where they are, and if there is a bad weather causing low visibility then finding direction can be extremely difficult.
Learn MoreIt’s true that fossil fuels have created a change in history and without it; how we live today would have never happened this quickly. Fossil fuels made everything from transportation, manufacturing, Electricity to be available in the way it is available today and many more to happen. Aerospace and aviation are obviously a big user of fossil fuels and if it wasn’t for fossil fuels then the aerospace industry would have not been able to flourish the way it did for the past hundred years. Having said that; fossil fuels might be very important for the way we have grew globally in every aspect of life but it also has it’s cons due to carbon dioxide production as a bi-product of burning fossil fuels which is causing our atmosphere to heat up and it’s killing our ozone layer which is our protection from the sun rays.
Learn MoreMany people in the Los Angeles area, know what the Goodyear blimp is due to how big it is and its bright blue color on it. I believe this blimp is a great way of advertising and just by flying it in the air it gets exposed to thousands of eyes.

These iconic blimps have been a type of advertisement for Goodyear for more than 90 years.
Learn MoreSince the early 1990’s the FCC has banned all cellphone use once the aircraft reaches 10,000 feet. I am sure all of us have been on an airplane ride and had to stop texting, a phone conversation, or even reading an article once the pilot has stated to do so. At that point you can only hope that the airline you have chosen to fly with has WiFi and for that matter, free WiFi.
Learn MoreOfficials of the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) in Arlington, VA., announced in late December the third and final phase of the DARPA Aircrew Labor In-Cockpit Automation System (ALIAS) PROGRAM. U.S. military avionics are almost in completion of making a cockpit automation to reduce the number of air crew. Researchers are getting close to develop drop-in flight automation systems that could eliminate the need for co-pilots. Which includes at least 80 percent of the U.S. military’s multi-crew aircrafts. The goal is to cut cost, enhance system performance, and reducing the human exposure to dangerous and life threatening situations.

Learn MoreNASA has been able to master minimizing of fuel from an aircraft over the years and has been able to come up with a solution called a propulsor. The propulsor is a new fan and different type of estuary design used by NASA to be able to enhance fuel potency by 4 – 8 percent more than the average modern engine structures that airlines began with. Before they thought of using the propulsor the typical adjustment to boosting fuel would be to
