His consoles can give him instant contact with more than seventy bases around the world and with every SAC aircraft.

Military experts say a tight naval blockade off Cuban ports and at the approaches to Cuban waters would require two naval task forces, each built around an aircraft carrier with a complement of about 100 planes and several destroyers.

Continuing technical problems involved in the use of this fuel, coupled with significant improvements in aircraft range through other means, have now raised serious questions about the value of the high-energy fuel program.

This aircraft, which was planned for initial operational use about 1965, would be complementary to but likewise competitive with the four strategic ballistic missile systems, all of which are scheduled to become available earlier.

Build long-range aircraft which can take off from small ( 3,000-foot ) airfields with runways.

We have the technology today with which to build aircraft shelters which could withstand at least 200 Aj.

This same preoccupation with missiles at the expense of aircraft has resulted in our half-hearted effort to develop nuclear propulsion for aircraft.

If, for some reason such as economy, we are not going to develop aircraft nuclear propulsion with a sense of national urgency, then we should turn our effort to developing jet engines with a thrust-to-weight ratio of 12 or 15 to one.

It would be even more valuable because that same aircraft could immediately destroy any targets it discovered -- no need to wait for a missile to come all the way from the United States with the chance that the target, if it were mobile, would be gone.

Cutting short a holiday at Hong Kong, the aircraft carriers Lexington and Bennington steamed off into the South China Sea, accompanied by a swarm of destroyers, plus troopships loaded with marines.

* 1918 – World War I: The Flight over Vienna mission, when a dozen Italian Servizio Aeronautico single-engined military aircraft drop leaflets over the main capital of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, demanding that both Austrian hostilities against Italy be ended, and for Austria to end its alliance with the German Empire.

Nowadays most commercial planes are equipped with aircraft flight control systems in order to reduce pilot error and workload at landing or takeoff.

To help avoid collision with terrain ( CFIT ), aircraft use systems such as ground-proximity warning systems ( GPWS ), which use radar altimeters as a key element.

Health and usage monitoring systems ( HUMS ) are integrated with aircraft management computers to give maintainers early warnings of parts that will need replacement.

As with aircraft management, the bigger sensor platforms ( like the E ‑ 3D, JSTARS, ASTOR, Nimrod MRA4, Merlin HM Mk 1 ) have mission-management computers.

Military aircraft are often now built with a role available to assist in civil obedience.

The September 11 attacks presented an unprecedented threat because it involved suicide hijackers who could fly an aircraft and use it to delibrately crash the airplane into buildings for the sole purpose to cause massive casualties with no warning, no demands or negotiations, and no regard for human life.

Screening passengers with metal detectors and luggage with x-ray machines helps prevent weapons from being taken on to an aircraft.

The convention, for the first time in the history of international aviation law, recognizes certain powers and immunities of the aircraft commander who on international flights may restrain any person ( s ) he has reasonable cause to believe is committing or is about to commit an offense liable to interfere with the safety of persons or property on board or who is jeopardizing good order and discipline.

For aircraft with joint registration, one country is designated as the registration state for the purpose of the convention.

* Aircraft Classification Number, ICAO standard number indicating the pavement load imposed by an aircraft

The Sheridan can be rigged for low-velocity airdrop from C-130 ( 42, 000 lb max load ) and C-141 aircraft ( 38, 500 lb max load ).

The load compressor is generally a shaft-mounted compressor that provides pneumatic power for the aircraft, though some APUs extract bleed air from the power section compressor.

An accelerated stall is a stall that occurs while the aircraft is experiencing a load factor higher than 1 ( 1g ), for example while turning or pulling up from a dive.

As the capabilities of aircraft and their engines improved it was clear that their role in future war would be even more critical as their range and weapon load grew.

The pilot had failed to load enough fuel on the reconnaissance aircraft and had to refuel at a Laotian base on the return trip to Udorn.

Light bombers of World War I were single-engine aircraft with a bomb load of about 50 – 400 kg.

Light bombers of World War II were single-engine or, less commonly, twin-engine aircraft with a bomb load of about 500-1, 000 kg.

During the incident the aircraft was subjected to load factors in excess of the design limits, culminating in a dive followed by a + 3. 59 g pull up manoeuvre clearing the ground by only 321 ft.

Requirements for the aircraft for a cruising range of with a bomb load resulted in the selection of the B-25B Mitchell to carry out the mission.

It noted that Air Canada " neglected to assign clearly and specifically the responsibility for calculating the fuel load in an abnormal situation ", finding that the airline had failed to reallocate the task of checking fuel load that had been the responsibility of the flight engineer on older ( three-crew ) aircraft.

In critical applications using Ni-Cad batteries, such as in aircraft, each cell is individually discharged by connecting a load clip across the terminals of each cell, thereby avoiding cell reversal, then charging the cells in series.

The airspeed at which the aircraft stalls varies with the weight of the aircraft, the load factor, bank angle, the center of gravity of the aircraft and other factors.

In a little over one month, the aircraft flew 26 missions between Japan and Korea, carrying an average load of 34, 000 pounds, double the amount carried on the C-54.

Supercruise is sustained supersonic flight of an aircraft with a useful cargo, passenger, or weapons load performed efficiently and without the use of afterburners ( reheat ).

The technique is used to airdrop supplies, equipment, or personnel at high altitudes when aircraft can fly above surface-to-air missile ( SAM ) engagement levels through enemy skies without posing a threat to the transport or load.

For military cargo airdrops, the rigged load is cut free and rolls out of the plane as a result of aircraft deck angle ( AOA ).

A heavy bomber is a bomber aircraft of the largest size and load carrying capacity, and usually the longest range.

These sorts of distinctions were disappearing by the middle of the war, by which time the typical fighter aircraft could carry a load and light bombers were taking over roles and missions formerly flown by medium bombers.

These distinctions were beginning to disappear by the middle of World War II, when the average fighter aircraft could now carry a 2, 000 lb ( 907 kg ) load and ever more powerful engines allowed " light " bomber designs ( and later jet fighter-bombers ) to largely take over the missions formerly filled by mediums.

Eight aircraft in this small box.

If we could use all the small airfields we have in this country, we could disperse our strategic aircraft by a factor of 10 or more.

A large aircraft, such as the B-52 or B-70, could carry perhaps 50 or 100 small nuclear weapons.

He'd landed the plane on a small airstrip in Connecticut and as soon as the aircraft had coasted to a stop, everyone had burst into chatter at the same moment.

In contrast to small non-rigid blimps, giant rigid airships became the first aircraft to transport passengers and cargo over great distances.

The arrival of solid-state electronics, the Global Positioning System, satellite communications, and increasingly small and powerful computers and LED displays, have dramatically changed the cockpits of airliners and, increasingly, of smaller aircraft as well.

Platforms used include both trucks and heavier combat vehicles such as APCs and tanks, which add protection from aircraft, artillery, and small arms fire for front line deployment.

For example Major General Charles J. Dunlap, Jr. says that United States Air Force culture includes an egalitarianism bred from officers as warriors who work with small groups of enlisted airmen either as the service crew or onboard crew of their aircraft.

The hallmarks of a fighter are its speed, maneuverability, and small size relative to other combat aircraft.

It was based on the small fast aircraft developed before the war for such air races as the Gordon Bennett Cup and Schneider Trophy.

" The chances of an aircraft having a bomb on it are very small ," he reasons, " and certainly the chances of having two are almost none!

The small Air Force ( Force Aerienne Islamique de Mauritanie, FAIM ) has 250 personnel, 2 FTB-337 aircraft, 15 transport aircraft of various types, and 4 SF-260E trainers.
