unique military capabilities only airpower can provide; among other, to attack directly enemy targets from the air regardless of their location, and to observe from the air.1 Today’s includes all available relevant technology for commanders to use in air, space, and cyberspace. If there were no technology, there would be no airpower. Therefore, without a doubt we can say that technology had the most significant influence on the creation and development of airpower. Invention of the aircraft…

the United States government challenged the aircraft industry to develop a new type of fighter that could fly at high speeds, for extended ranges, the ability to perform air to ground attacks, and climb to 20,000 feet within six minutes. Lockheed Martin answered the call and the P-38 Lightening was developed. This twin engine, twin boom aircraft was nothing like anything seen before. It was almost 100 miles per hour faster than other combat aircraft of the time and many of the United States…

interruptions by NTS activities. At the same time the base was working on the U-2 project, Lockheed started making a reconnaissance aircraft that would become the SR-71 Blackbird, a mach-3 plane that is part of the OXCART Project. This plane is what forced the expansion of the U-2 base. They had to make a new runway that is a lot longer, housing, and buildings for the aircraft. In 1962 the airspace above and around Groom Lake was off limits to everyone except for the workers of Area 51 and a…

airline pilot. Often this kind of error happens when the plane is on the runway. Taking off and landing the aircraft are some of the more difficult maneuvers that a pilot must do. Failure to get enough speed to get the aircraft off the ground will result in the plane running out runway and crashing into barriers, like trees. When Pilots try to land the plane they must position the aircraft in a specific heading, and decrease in altitude at a certain rate. If they don’t, they can overshoot the…

A Wing and a Prayer Small northern communities are tight knit. It’s not that everybody knows everybody else’s business, but everybody is conscious who has not come back from the trap line come dark, whose boats are out on the lake on a windy day, and what flying conditions are like as they listen for that unmistakable drone of a returning Otter or Beaver. Often people will gather and go out to wistfully search the horizon for comforting signs of their loved ones. Such was the case one heavily…

In the RCM process in maintenance not only ‘what can be done’ is considered but also ‘why should it be done’. To facilitate the RCM process seven questions should be asked to complete the process. • What are the functions and performance standards of the asset in the operating environment? • How does the asset fail to perform…

Summary During the summer of 1997, a study of aircraft maintenance employee schedules was conducted at the flight department of Saudi Aramco (biggest oil company in the world) in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia (Alfares, 1997) Objective was to calculate the current fixed-wing aircraft maintenance worker schedule and come out with solution to improve and to decide the optimum work schedule that fulfills increasing maintenance labor requirements with the lowest cost and highest efficiency. Flight department…
