Download or read book The use of airspace written by Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons: Transport Committee and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2009-07-10 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Government's Future of Air Transport strategy aims to significantly increase UK airport capacity over the next two decades to accommodate the predicted growth in demand for air travel. New runways at Heathrow and Stansted airports are two of the key airport development proposals. If all the White Paper-supported airport development proposals came to fruition, current Government forecasts predict that the number of passengers passing through UK airports will increase from 241 million passengers a year in 2007 to 455 million passengers a year in 2030. This UK growth matches air traffic predictions for the whole continent. Eurocontrol, the European Organisation for the Safety of Air Navigation, predicts that European air traffic will double by 2020. If rising demand for air travel is to be met effectively through additional airport capacity, a corresponding increase in airspace capacity must be realised. However, a country's airspace, the portion of atmosphere above its territory and territorial waters, controlled by that country is a finite resource. UK airspace, particularly in the South East of England, is already some of the busiest and most complex to manage in the world. This will almost certainly require improvements in the efficiency of the UK air traffic management system.The Committee's inquiry aims to look at how to meet these challenges. Its findings are aimed at those organisations responsible for airspace-related decisions in the UK: the CAA, NATS, and the Department for Transport. Passenger numbers and freight demand globally have declined in 2008 and in the first months of 2009. In its conclusions and recommendations the Committee covered the management of airspace, strategy, change and co-ordination in airspace management, environmental impacts of airspace changes and European developments.

Book excerpt: Free Fall is a novel written as a series of journal entries chronicling the strange, yet intertwined, events involving Michael Cardazia, a quirky high school science teacher, and his longtime spy girlfriend, Erika Nirvona. Life for the couple proceeds routinely until strange and unexplainable events begin to creep into their lives. Michael is one day catapulted into a world beyond anyones imagination. In this alternate universe, he befriends some of Earths most well-known individuals including Abraham Lincoln, Elvis Presley, Walt Disney, and Marilyn Monroe, but in starkly different roles from the ones we earthlings remember them for. This whirlwind journey takes the characters from the streets and monuments of Washington DC to a world in which scientists strive to secretly create more perfect human specimens. Full of history and trivia, yet also offering lighthearted humor, this book follows Michaels free-falling nonstop journey to get back to the woman he loves on Earth. But she too is caught in a series of mysterious events, and Michael soon realizes that, despite the most valiant efforts of his newfound friends, his journey back to Earth has become more complicated than anyone could have foreseen.

Download or read book Barnstormers Wing Walking and Flying Circuses written by Peter C. Brown and published by Air World. This book was released on 2022-04-21 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While large numbers of aeroplanes had been produced In America for the war effort overseas at the Western Front, it was found that that the British, French and Germans were far ahead of them when it came to flight technology, which led to a huge surplus of aeroplanes in the United States. The government’s solution to recover some of the money was to sell the surplus stock off for as little as $200 dollars each. With no licence being required to fly a plane, the offer attracted many ex-fighter pilots as well as civilians, who developed a new American pastime known as barnstorming. Part entertainers, part thrill-seekers, the barnstormers made their way across the country as solo acts and in groups called 'Flying Circuses'. The American flier Ormer Locklear wowed the crowds by climbing out of his aeroplane and walk along the wing, and it wasn’t long before flying circuses held less appeal for spectators if it didn’t have a wing-walking act. Handstands, jumps across planes, and even the odd game of tennis were attempted by barnstormers to attract larger paying audiences. In 1936, the US Government banned wing-walking under 1,500 ft, which doomed aerial stunting, and while a few wing-walking teams operated in the 1970s, it wasn’t until barnstormer Vic Norman founded his famous AeroSuperBatics wing-walking team in the early 1980s that the sight of daredevils hand-standing and flying upside down on the wing was seen in Europe. Several teams around the world subsequently formed using aeroplanes such as the Boeing Stearman or the Curtiss 'Jenny' biplanes to wow crowds as a part of regular air displays, and their appeal has continued to rise since the 2000s.

Book excerpt: The Luke Bright Series comes to its thrilling conclusion! In a world where prejudice is strong enough to split apart nations, one young man is striving to bring them back together. Now more than ever, we must fight for equality and stamp out the hatred that divides us. “What if the home I have in my desires isn’t the home that I need it to be? What if the person I am now can’t fit back into being the person I was before?” After nearly two years on the run in the USA, Luke Bright is finally getting his chance to go back home to the UK. The chance to reunite with his family is too overpowering, even though his home country declared him a murderer and a heretic. That means he’ll be returning as a fugitive. Leaving behind his many lives and friends in the USA proves to be the most heart-wrenching thing Luke has had to do. These people who protected him, saved him and loved him when he was completely isolated –– can he really just leave all that behind and forget it when he goes home? Especially since so much has changed since Luke was last in the UK. When Luke returns home, corrupt police officer Marco Brown is still hunting him and won’t stop until Luke is behind bars for the rest of his life. With the help of some old faces, the reason why Marco hates Americans finally comes to light and it’s more shocking anyone could imagine. With a life in jail looming, will Luke’s allies be able to finally prove his innocence and uncover the secrets that could end his ordeal? Age recommendation: ‘The Luke Bright Series’ is recommended for readers aged 15+.
Download or read book Venom De Havilland Venom and Sea Venom written by David Watkins and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2009-10-02 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While it is true to say that the Venom carried out more operational ground attack sorties than any other RAF aircraft since the Second World War, its history has hitherto been sadly neglected or misreported. With the co-operation and assistance of many former Service and civilian pilots, the record can finally be set straight in what is the definitive history of this ground-attack, all weather and naval strike fighter. David Watkins discusses the problems of the trials and development programme and takes a detailed look at the aircraft's operational service with the air arms of Australia, France, Sweden, Switzerland, Iraq and Venezuela. Of particular interest is new information relating to the Sea Venom's career with the Fleet Air Arm and the catastrophic wing failures and engine fires that plagued the early Second Tactical Air Force Venoms. It also contains a comprehensive account of Venom sorties during the Suez campaign, the 'Firedog' operations in Malaya and the protracted anti-terrorist offensive in Aden and Oman. These accounts throw new light on the conflicts and have been compiled from interviews, private papers and personal accounts. Accompanying the text is a wealth of photographs, line drawings and maps, a number of which are from private collections and are previously unpublished.
