On December 1st, 1984, a remote controlled 4 engined transport jet took off from Edwards AFB, CA and crashed into a barren patch of nearby desert. This Controlled Impact Demonstration was a joint R&D program by the FAA and NASA. The FAA designed the CID 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 CIDdid achieve its primary objectives.The analysis of CID 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. 2nd: To evaluate the performance of existing and advanced energy absorbing seats. 3rd :To compare tests used to predict structural behaviour with an actual crash. AMK (anti-misting kerosene) fuel was employed in the test. The FAA has examined amk’s potential for protecting commercial transports from ignition of misted fuels. All research indicated that AMK would be effective in preventing this problem. The CID was an opportunity to use AMK in a realistic, impact-survivable crash.

RussiaToday asked:

Russia is set to hold a monopoly on flights to the international space station, wants to charge more for rides on its Soyuz rocket, the space agency head said on Tuesday. When the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (Nasa) retires its long-serving shuttle fleet as planned later this year, the United States and other countries will be wholly dependent on Russia to fly the station’s six-man crew to and from orbit.

the cheapest way, there are top tips for driving more efficiently to cut petrol usage. I recently had the opportunity to test it for myself for the first time. On Christmas holiday in South Africa (and before you ask, yes it was a cheap flight, we hired a car (and yes it was from the cheapest car hire!) which had a digital display of fuel efficiency. Now as anything with changing numbers on it appeals to me; I decided to use the trip as an experiment (and yes I’m a nerd). Before I …

years. But what the snappy name “cap and trade” means is that the market will put a price on something that’s always been free: the right of a factory to emit carbon gases. That could affect the cost of everything from windowpanes to airline tickets to electricity. Europe has already hit a few bumps with its program. There’s the Dutch silicon carbide maker that calls itself the greenest such plant in the world, but now can’t afford to run full-time; the French cement workers who fear they’ …
