Is your air traffic control person real?
For instance your air traffic control tower professional maybe in augmented reality, sitting in a room with no windows looking at your aircraft on a TV screen or video monitor. Now a days the air traffic controlers train in the VR, Virtual Reality World. Generally these controllers have many things going on at once which you cannot possibly know and what looks like a pipe dream or wishful thinking on their part is part of a larger plan. This would be good so that Control Tower operators would not discuss the sightings of UFOs, etc as the reports from pilots come in. But besides that these VR Control towers right now are only simulators for training control tower operators, for instance you can have the busiest day at Laguardia, O'Hare, LAX or even the EAA show is Oshkosh just to give you a challenge.

India Air Traffic Issues to Come
India will need to set up the latest in air traffic control to handle the crowed skies. If you are traveling to India expect delays, traffic, inconvenience as the airports work thru their growing pains. Meanwhile aviation experts warn of air-traffic snarls and eminent safety issues. Meanwhile India's airline passenger traffic is expected to exceed 50 million in less than five years and that is at the current growth rates. One consulting firm determined that it would take over 20 billion in capital investment to bring the airports into normal safety compliance of other countries in the next decade, some think much more as things progress.

Sex in a Cessna, Part III
So far we have learned the safety aspect of setting the aircraft up in non-restricted airspace, with auto-pilot and away from other aircraft traffic. If you have no autopilot a slower motion is best, because you will have to fly the plane with your feet and that takes a little more control and is best to have a more stable flight. If you are in a small Cessna such as a Cessna 150 or Cessna 172 a grinding motion or an up and down thrusting motion from your partner is preferred because motion from inside the aircraft will slightly alter the flight path. After you are completed have your towel ready to wipe up because there is nothing more disgusting than to rent an aircraft with stains on the seats, it is obvious how they got there. Now then, your head should be slightly off to the side so you can see around your sexual partner and look for other aviation traffic.

NASA SATS for Point-to-Point Air Travel Solutions
NASA is rapidly working on ways to improve safety and efficiency in the movement of people around the globe, which will free up air-traffic and alleviate some of the over worked and over used airports of our nation. The Spoke and Hub was a creation of the larger Airlines and Fred Smith's Fed Ex concept. The proof being the advancement in the marketplace by discount airline carriers of course and the most recent acceleration coming about with fractional jet aircraft market. It appears NASA's studies of the future of air travel and air taxi concepts. Which indeed is something to see and is recommended for any logistics or distribution student as the economies of scale nearly pay for the extra distances that many packages travel thru the night to reach you by 10 AM guaranteed the next morning.

Automated Satellite Following System for UAV Swarms
We can now have many aerial unmanned vehicles fly in swarms keying of one in five, ten or even a hundred aircraft. All other UAVs will be controlled thru that data and by satellite in grid formations every half to three miles. This queen bee, or swarm commander will interpret data and send in relevant data to the command and control tele-robotic augments simulator pilot. It is time to take these technologies into the battlespace and try them out and use what we learn to help us monitor forces of nature, grid out the surface of other planets and provide protection and security to the free world. I propose keeping this task of swarming UAVs simple.

Helicopters - The Multi Utility Machines
A police helicopter can also be shared between public service agencies for duties such as traffic survey, fire control, EMS, environmental surveys, zoning and other public service missions. They respond to accidents, coordinate disaster relief, make traffic surveys, fly Air Medical missions, track suspects and stem the growth and distribution of narcotics. Other utility functions, which can be performed by a helicopter, are fire fighting, Electronic news gathering, power line survey, offshore oil and gas support, aerial application and air tourism. Its excellent visibility and the ability to fly low and slow, or hover and land make the helicopter the best patrol aircraft. In the western countries EMS is a very common service where in case of any medical requirement or accident, helicopters provide air ambulance service.

Mirrors to Redirect Mini Laser Weapons on Fighters for Vortex Airflows
We can use redirected or reflected laser cannon beams to increase stability in transitional flight situations to prevent departure of the aircraft from flight, by changing the air around the airfoils and control surfaces, please be thinking here. There would be a grid system on the mirror to makes sure the right amount of energy was directed by the onboard computer system connected to the pilot's input of the joy stick control. Inside the cone protected from the relative wind would be the mirrors for redirection of the lasers to points near the boundary layer of air above the wing. Recently a new airborne laser system was announced to be put onto fighter jets, once this technology becomes more advanced we will no longer need missiles for air-to-air combat. During the firing of the weapon the mirrors would be retracted back into the front of the fuselage on a pole protruding in the front of the aircraft similar to this pole on this Bell X-1 Aircraft.

Concorde Crash Conspiracy - It Could Have Been Prevented
It can also be sent solo to inspect the runway from afar, such as a room in the control tower or ground control workstation. The British Airport Authority (BAA) is interested in possibly developing this concept. In studying the Concorde crash the investigators determined it was caused by debris on the runway, which had fallen off a Continental Airlines Aircraft, which went down the same runway prior to the Concorde. It is a small real-time video camera, which runs along the runway on a track and videos the aircraft as it lands or takes off. The aircraft on fire took off and then immediately crashed.

I Am Afraid Of Flying; You Are Not Getting Me A Light Plane
Yes, a real ass flattener, no doubt about it, but modern air travel has brought our world together and expanded our horizons. Those who travel by airliners now do business in many countries in the world. Even China is only about 2-days a way by airliner, by the time you wait at the airports, fly and deplane. No you aren't you are simply fearing what you do not understand. Go up for an introductory flight, it costs under $100.

Sex in a Cessna, Part I
If you have never had sex in a Cessna or other small aircraft then you probably might wish to read this article. If you have only a 2-axis auto pilot there will be times when you will want to adjust the controls from time to time. Once you have the aircraft in level flight and trimmed up and/or auto pilot set. If you are in an aircraft with auto-pilot and not very bumpy air you will enjoy the experience much more. One of you will need to be glancing out the windscreen from time to time to look for traffic.

Airline Security; Stewardesses The Last Line Of Defense!
There is also the fact, that the Airlines often have little control over the actual Airport security and close to no-control at foreign Airports. On the majority of flights, there are no Air Marshals, so problems have to be faced by the Stewardesses. This fact has repeatedly been proven by security inspections, where security agents, have boarded aircrafts with weapons and explosives etc. Who endangers the safety of co-passengers and the aircraft due to mental disturbances, alcohol consumption, stress or disregard for airline regulations, such as remaining seated during takeoff and landing etc. In many foreign airports the airlines simply have to rely on the local security and the occasional inspections, by official institutions such as the FAA etc.

Inflatable Slots for STOL
Short Take Off and Landing Aircraft are extremely valuable in commercial, private, government and military aviation. Additionally a secondary cartridge could be deployed on touch down, which would act as an airbrake causing the aircraft to come to an almost immediate stop. For standard landings if desired the system would be filled with ram air rather than a cartridge. The cartridges would be singular (one unit inflates both wings) to prevent failure of one side causing immediate loss of control. In the event of an emergency cartridge would be deployed to slow the aircraft down and allow for a very slow airspeed on final approach and a very small landing distance.

Increasing TAS in Modern Day Fighters with Expandable Wing Tips
The fighters we have today like the F-18 Hornet (Navy) and the F-16 Talon, F-15 Eagle (Air Force) have substantial fuselages which act as wings. Therefore at higher speeds the actual wings which stick out considerably on the aircraft are simply not needed and actually impede the aircrafts top True Air Speed (TAS. Once an aircraft travels above 450 Knots the fuselage starts flying. We are at the point that it is getting difficult to design an aircraft much faster. As the aircraft approached the speed of sound it would be completely retracted.

Automated Following Jump System for Paratroopers, AFJS
Due to the number of aircraft dropping and the number of paratroopers this data can also be sent back to the command and control of the Blue Force for tracking. As one aircraft goes in another follows in behind it. When paratroopers are deployed in the battlespace each GPS unit will have a buzzer allowing the parachute operator to know he is too close to the next nearest chute or that a chute is rapidly approaching his/her airflow. Once this technology is implemented in practice jumps that data can be set onto an ERSI platform and 3D grid to help in simulator training for troops, thus we can train more with less actual jumps and save the major injuries to our soldiers and risk deaths which can occur. This will improve safety in night jumps and under zero-zero visibility or near so.
