Vulcan B.1 XA891 was fitted with four Olympus 200 engines in the spring of 1958 for intensive flying trials. The aircraft crashed in July 1958 during a routine test flight. [185] Vulcan B.1 XA894 flew with five Olympus engines, the standard four Mk.101s, plus a reheated Olympus 320 destined for the BAC TSR-2 in an underslung nacelle.
The Spaceflight Processing Operations Center (SPOC), located near Cape Canaveral Space Launch Complex 41 is used to construct the mobile launcher platform (MLP) for the Vulcan Centaur. It also serves as a storage area for the Atlas V MLP. [172] On 6 August 2019, the first two parts of Vulcan's MLP were transported to the SPOC. [173]
X-Plane is a flight simulation software initially launched by Laminar Research in 1995. Commercial desktop versions are sold for macOS, Windows, and Linux. In addition, Laminar Research also distributes FAA-certified versions for professional use. A mobile version has been available for Android, iOS, and webOS since 2009 as well.
The amount of damage that occurs is dependent on the concentration of volcanic ash, the gas aerosols in the cloud, the length of time the aircraft is in the cloud of volcanic ash and the action ...
FAAR was developed by the US Army in the 1960s to support their field anti-aircraft weapons, the M48 Chaparral and M163 Vulcan Air Defense System, deployed through the 1970s and 80's, and retired from active service in 1991.
The basis of the system is the 20 mm M61 Vulcan rotary cannon, used by the United States military on various tactical aircraft since 1959, linked to a K u band fire control radar system for acquiring and tracking targets. This proven system was combined with a purpose-made mounting, capable of fast elevation and traverse speeds, to track ...
Specifically, instead of having a separate body of regulations for a PMA Fabrication Inspection System (FIS), [18] as was the case in prior regulations, the PMA regulations now include a cross reference to the 14 C.F.R. § 21.137, [19] which is the regulation defining the elements of a quality system for all production approval holders.
