That year, the two countries reached an agreement for the prosecution or return of the hijackers and the aircraft to each other's country.

These problems were eventually solved as jet aircraft reached transonic and supersonic speeds.

The sound barrier was broken, and after a few false starts due to required changes in controls, speeds quickly reached Mach 2 — past which aircraft can't maneuver to avoid attack.

Earhart and Noonan took off from Lae, New Guinea, and their radio transmissions were picked up on the island when their aircraft reached the vicinity but they were never seen again.

The German aviation production reached about 36, 000 combat aircraft for 1944.

The capital, Port Moresby, is not linked by road to any of the other major towns and many highland villages can only be reached by light aircraft or on foot.

Passengers aboard United Airlines Flight 93 were able to assess their situation based on these conversations and plan a counter attack that resulted in the aircraft crashing before it reached its intended target.

Although individuals in various civilian, military and police vessels reached the crash site and searched for survivors within minutes of the initial water impact, no survivors were found, making TWA 800 the second deadliest aircraft accident in the United States at that time.

By 08: 33, the aircraft reached cruising altitude of 31, 000 feet, which is the point when cabin service would begin.

Although tiltrotors such as the Focke-Achgelis Fa 269 of the mid-1940s and the Centro Técnico Aeroespacial " Convertiplano " of the 1950s reached testing or mock-up stages, the V-22 Osprey is considered the world's first production tiltrotor aircraft.

The idea saw its first iteration in the Burya high-altitude jet aircraft, which reached the prototype stage.

A top-secret White Paper, compiled by the Royal Air Force and produced for the British Government in 1959, estimated that British atomic bombers were capable of destroying key cities and military targets in the Soviet Union, with an estimated 16 million deaths in the USSR ( half of whom were estimated to be killed on impact and the rest fatally injured ) before bomber aircraft from the US Strategic Air Command reached their targets.

As Air Force rules prohibited AC-130 aircraft from remaining in hostile airspace in daylight after the crash of an AC-130 in Khajfi in the Gulf War, the AC-130 support protecting Mako 30 was forced to leave before Razor 01 reached the LZ, although the leadership was aware that Razor 01 was incoming.

If its leading edge is raked back enough, it will escape the shock wave formed at the nose of the aircraft as transonic speeds are reached, reducing drag considerably, and the center of lift moves less than on conventionally configured aircraft, reducing trim drag.

* List of altitude records reached by different aircraft types

When they reached Super Six Four, Gordon and Shughart extracted the pilot, Chief Warrant Officer Mike Durant and the other crew members from the aircraft, and established defensive positions around the crash site.

When they reached Super Six Four, they extracted Durant and the crew members from the crash and defended the aircraft.

" One hour and forty minutes after his speech, US aircraft reached North Vietnamese targets.

Launched prematurely, none of the attacking aircraft reached the designated airfields, either crashing or ditching ( except for one aircraft which landed in the Soviet Union, where the crew was officially interned and secretly repatriated ).

The pilot can then fly level just above the runway while the aircraft accelerates in ground effect until a safe climb speed is reached.

The airspeed at which this angle is reached is the ( 1g, unaccelerated ) stalling speed of the aircraft in that particular configuration.

In most light aircraft, as the stall is reached the aircraft will start to descend ( because the wing is no longer producing enough lift to support the aircraft's weight ) and the nose will pitch down.

Eliminate the vulnerability of aircraft on the ground and you have essentially eliminated its vulnerability to long-range ballistic missiles.

The `` Barre Aviation Field '' was set to receive its first aircraft the Sunday following the flood.

Airforce personnel total about 8, 000 ; its equipment includes eight Russian-manufactured Sukhoi Su-27 fighter aircraft and transport planes.

* 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.

* 1991 – The Airbus A340 aircraft makes its first flight.

* 1965 – The Aero Spacelines Super Guppy aircraft makes its first flight.

* 1962 – Japan conducts a test of the NAMC YS-11, its first aircraft since World War II and its only successful commercial aircraft from before or after the war.

The convention does not apply to customs, law enforcement or military aircraft, thus its scope appears to exclusively encompass civilian aircraft.

Importantly, the convention only comes into force if the aircraft takes off or lands in a place different than its country of registration.

* 2005 – The superjumbo jet aircraft Airbus A380 makes its first flight from Toulouse, France.

They will assess the size of the aircraft and the number, type and position of its engines.

The launching aircraft will illuminate the target with its radar.

The Italian Air Force was expected to procure up to 250 missiles for its Tornado ECR aircraft.

In 1977, development of a significantly improved Phoenix version, the AIM-54C, was developed to better counter projected threats from tactical anti-naval aircraft and cruise missiles, and its final upgrade included a re-programmable memory capability to keep pace with emerging ECM.

Guidance for the Sparrow required that the launching aircraft use its radar to continuously illuminate a single target for the missile's " passive " seeker to track, or guidance would be lost.

Fighter command, it has all first-line combat assets under its control-fighter, attack and reconnaissance aircraft ; V FAE ( V Força Aérea )-responsible for transport missions.

During the 1970s the Air Force was at the apogee of its power, possessing at least 500 modern combat aircraft in its inventory.

* Model 50 Twin Bonanza Two-engine utility aircraft ; despite its name was not a development of the Bonanza

In a letter dated August 1, 1969, and addressed to the President of the Security Council, the Permanent Representative of Cambodia alleged to the United Nations Security Council that aircraft from the United States and South Vietnam scattered ‘ poisonous yellow powder ’ along its frontiers with South Vietnam in May and June.

Bombardier's most popular aircraft currently include its Dash 8, CRJ100 / 200 / 440, and CRJ700 / 900 / 1000 lines of regional airliners.
