Aluminum Cleaner for Aircraft Detailing by Alcoa
Yet one of the best products we have ever found is Alcoa's Aluminum Polishes. Alcoa has also been instrumental in the legislation to require citizens to recycle aluminum that is necessary for so many of the needed products we take for granted everyday. Whether it is a beer can, aluminum rail car, Boeing 747 or Apollo Space Craft, you can bet it is made with Alcoa products. Mother's Polishes of course are great also. Choose the right aluminum polish and save your muscles and time for flying.

Material Memory and NASA High Tech Plastics for Rotor Blades
These materials are said to be ten times the strength of steel and three times lighter than aluminum. Material memory manufacturing with new high-tech NASA plastics will significantly increase performance characteristics and flight agility in future aerospace designs and we should definitely be thinking here and make use of these new materials to serve our needs. By using this technique we could increase the take off weight and allow the UAV VTOL (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) Helicopter to move quickly into position and then hover for much longer periods of time without using up all its fuel in route, thus allowing it an increased range for use in Natural Disasters, wartime, search and rescue, surveillance or commercial applications. This would allow the rotor blades made out of this new plastic material to change shape. Since they are made of polymer plastic blends it will be possible to add in some material memory manufacturing in the process.

Essential Oil Skin Care Tips for Frequent Fliers
After you land, take a nice, long bath to soak up more moisture and soothe your nerves. For dry scalp (which causes embarrassing flakes) and lips in-flight, rub several drops of Lavender oil into your scalp and a single drop onto your lips to help eliminate dandruff and alleviate chapped lips. I like a blend of equal parts Roman Chamomile, Palmarosa, Ylang Ylang, Rose, and Sandalwood. Add 10 drops of a good Dry Skin essential oil blend to 1 ounce of your favorite shea butter-based body lotion for maximum benefit as well. Don't forget to dunk your head under as well! I like to add 15 drops of Lavender and 15 drops of Grapefruit to 2 ounces of Epsom salts to my post-flight baths - it has the added bonus of putting me straight to sleep and helping me get over jet lag.
