Speaking of mangrove parks, most people may be like me. The first thing that comes to mind is Shenzhen Bay Park in Nanshan. In fact, the Binhai Park named after mangroves in Shenzhen, the mangroves in Futian District and the Xiwan Mangrove Park in Baoan.

Bao’an Xiwan Mangrove Park, bordered by Dachan Bay Wharf in the south and Bao’an International Airport in the north, is a key node in the vibrant coastal zone of Bao’an Binhai. With the theme of “Colorful West Bay, Vigorous Life” and featuring approaching mangroves, the park is a high-quality coastal landscape demonstration section integrating leisure, recreation and popular science.

There are thousands of forests on land, and my favorite is the dreamy mangroves. Mangroves are marine woody plant communities that grow in tropical and subtropical intertidal zones. They are very interesting plants. The “viviparous” method of reproduction is rare in the plant world and is known as the “sea forest”. The “sea of ​​trees” covering the sky and sun also propped up a huge parasol for the birds. Binhai is Baoan’s unique geographical advantage and resource endowment. It has 17 kilometers of coastline, 100 acres of lush mangroves, swaying and colorful, against the setting sun, forming a backlit silhouette, such a wonderful sense of picture will never let you down . Walking on the viewing platform, you can enjoy the natural beauty, so fresh and beautiful, full of poetry and picturesqueness. Citizens and tourists wandered among them, at this moment, forgetting their worries, only amazed. It is the best leisure activity to get close to nature. Bibo is holding the long bridge, and Yin holding the sunset. The sea breeze blows from the junction of sea and sky, passing through golden waves and the sides of ocean-going ships. Every day from time to time, there will be airplanes whizzing by overhead. Standing on the observation deck and watching with a telescope, you can clearly see the airplane logo. The citizens of Baoan no longer have to go to the distant eastern seas to “see the sea” and “listen to the sea”. Not only can they often go to the seaside, they can blow the sea breeze and see the beautiful scenery of the seaside. You can also better enjoy the “coastal customs” at your doorstep. Even after the sea is low tide, go to the beach to catch some seafood such as crabs and conch to experience the fun of driving the sea. People’s desire to love the sea has been realized, the blue dream of Binhai has been realized, and an excellent view coastal park has been built. By highlighting the three characteristics of mangrove culture, Xixiang regional culture and coastal culture, it has become a unique beauty in Bao’an. The business card also allows more netizens to appreciate the beauty of Shenzhen rail transit

On May 23, the first in-flight wedding was held in the business class of an ANA plane for Toru and Mami Murakami, a Tokyo couple. The wedding was attended by a pilot, some of the airline’s flight attendants and a few guests to witness the special moment. The pilot holds up the marriage certificate of Toru and Mami Murakami. Photo: ANA. During the wedding, the airline will provide a band, accompanied by a message from the crew to celebrate the happy day and special lighting system that projects the image of the galaxy on the ceiling of the passenger compartment. ANA said the price for the in-flight wedding service was 1.56 million yen ($14,200), combined with the party held in the airport lobby for 3 million yen ($27,338). The wedding ceremony is limited to a maximum of 30 people. Before knowing about the wedding service on the plane, this couple planned not to hold the wedding, just taking a few photos to celebrate the big day. “I signed up immediately, because it would be a wonderful memory and we both love flying. There was a time when I thought it would be impossible to get married during the escalating epidemic situation, but in the end I was very happy. satisfied with his wedding ceremony,” said groom Toru. Before that, the airline had unique campaigns to attract the attention of the soon-to-be-married couples. Although the months of May and June are considered “wedding season”, many people have to limit the organization of mass gatherings to prevent the Covid-19 epidemic. Most weddings are affected by the ban on serving alcohol at party venues. In an effort to reduce the damage caused by the pandemic, ANA used to offer domestic tours by Airbus A380 aircraft. Each flight lasts 3.5 hours, passengers are served meals.

While the US AH-64 has performed excellently both in combat and in the export market, the Russian Mi-28 has only Iraqi and Algerian customers. The idea that Mi-28 will be chosen by India, however, in the end New Delhi chose the US AH-64. Mi-28 is also a line of attack helicopters with a long development time when the first flight appeared in 1982, but it was not until 2009 that the version capable of day and night combat entered service. After having an unimpressive first field trip in the Syrian battlefield, Russia has continued to upgrade to produce the Mi-28NM version. Currently in Russia’s official payroll, there is a Mi-28A version that is only capable of daytime combat, this version is not appreciated; Mi-28N is a version capable of fighting in all weather conditions including night and the upgraded version of Mi-28NM has only been commissioned in small numbers. To be fair, the Mi-28 is a line of heavy attack helicopters capable of delivering devastating blows to the enemy. However, the Mi-28 did not live up to expectations when it was designed to replace the Mi-24s. In the Syrian battlefield, the Mi-28N did not even prove superior to the Mi-24. This made many Russian generals criticize the developer. Perhaps that is why the manufacturer Mil bet on the Mi-28NM version. Compared to its predecessor, although there are not many major changes in appearance except for the nose, the changes brought from the inside have helped this aircraft achieve high combat performance. Weapons analysts said that with the introduction of the Mi-28NM version, the attack helicopter line was enough to line up with the latest US version of the AH-64E. There have been reports that the Mi-28NM was secretly brought to Syria to test fire by Russia to evaluate its combat performance and obtain positive results. It was from this real combat test that Russia quickly decided to put the Mi-28NM into mass production. In terms of structure, the cockpit of the Mi-28NM is reinforced more firmly, with an air-conditioning system, with additional protective armor, including a metal front windshield that is resistant to 12 bullets, 7 mm. The cabin has an additional layer of glass that separates the compartment between the two pilots, minimizing the possibility of the main pilot and the pilot pilot dying at the same time from enemy fire. The alloy frame of the Mi-28NM is able to withstand 20mm anti-aircraft shells. With the design applied on Mi-28NM, for the first time the principle of separating the cockpit between the main pilot and the pilot pilot has been applied. In the event of an emergency when the plane is above 100 m above the ground, the crew can parachute out when the plane crashes and crashes. The emergency exit system will be activated by the main pilot and the pilot pilot separately. According to Mr. Dmitry Litovkin, CEO of Independent Military Review, Mi-28NM is an attack helicopter version with enhanced tactical features, especially combat power. The helicopter is equipped with high-precision weapons, has a new control system integrated with artificial intelligence (AI). Mi-28NM is compatible, join the battle formation with helicopters, UAVs and other aircraft on the battlefield. In terms of firepower, the Mi-28NM heavy attack helicopter is equipped with a variety of powerful weapons systems, including new-generation multipurpose missiles and various bombs. The helicopter can attack stationary and moving targets within a radius of 8-10 km. Mi-28NM has a new LSN-296 aiming system, which can control two of Russia’s most powerful anti-tank missiles today, Khrizantema and Vikhr. The pilot of the Mi-28NM is equipped with a flying helmet with a specially designed target indicator system, displaying panoramic information to aim at targets in all directions. Mi-28NM is equipped with Nadterechny Н025 radar as well as a new generation of aiming and guidance complexes, including a control system for landing in dark and foggy conditions, which helps to improve combat efficiency. almost twice that of its predecessor. In the design of the Mi-28NM, the position of the radar transceiver remains above the main rotor of the helicopter. In addition to the upgraded avionics and body frame, the other difference is that the propeller of the Mi-28NM uses composite materials to make the helicopter more stable, the new engine is stronger but more fuel-efficient than that of the Mi-28NM. Predecessor. In addition, Mi-28NM is also equipped with a suicide drone. Helicopters can enter a predefined combat area and launch one or more drones from the cockpit. Once the target has been identified, the crew will report the data and monitor the kill launch process. Mi-28NM is capable of operating in all weather conditions, can fly in both automatic and manned modes, adapts to all kinds of terrain. One of the most practical improvements in the Mi-28NM is the crew’s “double control” mode. In the event that the main pilot is injured or killed, the pilot can still control the helicopter. Another improvement is that Mi-28NM is equipped with an additional radar system on the cockpit, capable of scanning around the aircraft, with a scanning angle of up to 90 degrees horizontally and 44 degrees vertically, helping detect and locate multiple targets at the same time. With such top-notch features, Russia’s Mi-28NM is expected to create a breakthrough in the combat capabilities of the Russian military as well as in the export market.

Why are airplane windows oval? In the early 1950s, the world’s first commercial jet was developed and manufactured by De Havilland. This is considered the miracle of the aviation industry. However, after a year of use, the plane fell to pieces right in the sky and within a few months, two more suffered the same fate. Engineers scrutinized the plane’s screws and discovered that the main cause was the square window. With this design, the pressure is higher at the door corners and increases significantly in flight. So the engineers decided to replace it with round or oval windows. Why do airplanes have curved wing tips? During a flight, the pressure on top of the wing is lower than the pressure under the wing. Air tends to shift from high pressure below the wing to low pressure above and around the wing tips. In the past, the wing tips were designed to be straight, causing the airflow to cause serious turbulence. Therefore, the scientists decided to bend the wing tip upwards to reduce turbulence, prolong the durability of the wing and save a lot of fuel during travel. Thanks to this feature, everyone will feel more comfortable during the flight. Why do airplane noses have different shapes? The nose of a military aircraft is pointed, the sharper the nose, the faster it flies. However, if the nose is too long, the pilot cannot see the runway correctly, which is why civil aircraft have round noses. Russian engineers solved this problem in the 1960s. The fastest passenger jet could tilt its nose. During takeoff and landing, the aircraft tilts its nose down and during flight the nose will be brought back to its original position. This strange design is intended to help pilots see the runway better. Why are airplanes painted white? Airplanes are almost always painted white. There are several reasons to explain this problem: Heat Reflection: A plane painted white will accumulate less heat. This is better for passengers and economically beneficial for airlines.
White paint is cheaper than other paints.
Prevent bird collisions: Birds can see reflections from white surfaces better, reducing the risk of collisions with aircraft.
White paint helps reveal small cracks and dents: The paint makes cracks easier to see, identifies problems early, avoids accidents, and makes damage easier to see. Why is the exit on the left? Not all but most aircraft have the main entrance on the left side. There is an explanation: The right side is for luggage (the cargo hatch is also on the right) so it is not safe for passengers.
Some say it’s an old tradition: The train ramp is always on the left.
The aircraft door is installed on the left side, which allows them to park the plane in the passenger area better and move more easily. Why are some planes oddly shaped? You must have heard of stealth aircraft. It has an odd shape to avoid detection by radar, sonar, infrared and other detection means, and to be able to carry more luggage with less fuel consumption. The shape of the plane is inspired by birds. Birds of prey use that shape to increase their range and be less visible. However, these aircraft are often too expensive to be used in civil aviation. How do airplanes look spacious? The designers use a number of tricks to make the plane look taller and more spacious than it actually is. For example, the walls have certain shapes to reflect light correctly. The illumination between the ceiling and the overhead bin makes the ceiling visually taller. Thanks to these tips, people with plane phobia will feel more comfortable. Why don’t pilots have beards? Some airlines ban pilots from growing beards. This is explained that, the beard can cause the oxygen mask to not fit tightly to the pilot’s face and work properly in an emergency situation. In particular, in that case, the pilots must always be alert to save the lives of passengers on the plane.

On the evening of June 10, Archer company from California, USA, unveiled its new electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) prototype at an event held in the city. Los Angeles. The innovative vehicle is called the electric Archer Maker, and to demonstrate what it can do, event participants were invited to participate in a flight simulator. As the problem of congestion becomes more and more difficult to solve, more and more companies are launching products and ideas that are created to take people to the sky and bypass the heavy traffic roads below. That is also what the Archer flying taxi is trying to achieve. The company’s new aircraft, the Maker, is a two-passenger eVTOL vehicle designed to serve as a test machine for new technologies. It has a distributed electric propulsion system that allows 12 electric motors to draw power from 6 individual battery packs. This design makes it possible for the Maker to maintain flight even if one or two of its motors fail. One of the main focus of the company is the noise generated by the propellers. No one wants a city filled with eVTOL vehicles hovering in the air and making louder noises than the cars below. To overcome that problem, Archer specially equips Maker with 12 sets of small propellers, which can rotate more slowly than conventional helicopter propellers. The new Archer Maker 2022 will be able to soar to about 610 meters above the ground, and according to the company, it will be 100 times quieter than a helicopter. In other words, Maker only makes as much noise as a home refrigerator. In terms of speed, the Maker will be able to reach a maximum speed of 240 km / h, and will use only 30% of the battery capacity for trips of 32-64 km. This will allow the battery to quickly charge before the next flight. The plane will be ready to take off after about 10 minutes of charging and has the potential to make 40 flights per day. In addition, it is also worth noting that the Maker has a very light weight of only about 1.5 tons, 300 kg lighter than a Tesla Model 3. Archer is expected to complete the first test flights of Maker. in the fourth quarter of 2021, and plans to start production in 2022. In an effort to reduce its carbon footprint, United Airlines has announced plans to purchase $1 billion worth of eVTOLs, and if all goes as planned, they are expected to begin flights trade from Los Angeles and Miami by 2024. The California-based company also plans to build a complete network of take-off and landing points for the eVTOLs. However, they won’t really create new spots because there really isn’t much extra space in megacities. Instead, Archer will use the roofs of the parking garages. Video: Launching Archer Maker – “flying taxi” with no noise.

The author said that she started recording this scene because she noticed that the plane seemed to be stationary in the air. “There was another plane that flew a few minutes before so I knew it wasn’t moving,” the person added. The plane is stationary in the sky in two videos. Photo: Unilad. Two days later, @lesxbalboa once again passed by the same spot and saw the plane motionless, hovering right where she had last seen it. She continued to post a second video, showing the mysterious plane standing still in the sky but this time at night. It is not clear where the video was filmed. Myself @lesxbalboa also appeared confused, she could not explain to her followers online about the strange phenomenon. “I know this is unusual. Google says it happens very rarely, but why do I see it twice,” she commented. This is not the only video showing the phenomenon of aircraft hovering, almost not moving in the air. Videos shot in Moscow, Russia or Dallas, USA have also been uploaded online and have hundreds of thousands of views. There are several ways to interpret the image of an airplane “standing” in the sky. Many people point out that this may just be a hallucination. Specifically, the blue sky behind the plane has almost no clouds or an object to refer to. The plane may not have reached top speed because it is taking off. The clip was shot on a moving car, which means the focal length and distance between the camera and the aircraft change, akin to the Dolly Zoom technique in the movies. Because the background is the sky, there is not much detail, so the viewer has the illusion that the plane is hovering in the air. In addition, if the aircraft is landing and encounters strong winds, the pilot may also have to maneuver skillfully to keep it stable. At this point, the plane actually moves very little in the air and if standing from a distance, it looks like it is standing in the sky. Many people associate this phenomenon with conspiracy theories about simulated worlds. Photo: Futurism. Of course, there are also many comments explaining in a humorous way. Some users joked that the plane was in “Airplane Mode” or that the pilot was taking on a challenge to make a mannequin. Others believe that the pilot has just graduated from a training course via… Zoom, the moment the plane stands still is when he is looking for more instructional videos on YouTube. For those who like conspiracy theories, there is another explanation that fits the theory that we live in a simulated world, like in the movie The Matrix. With the simulator, the plane “standing” in the air is like a system malfunction. This hypothesis originated in 2003, in a famous scientific paper by philosopher Nick Bostrom from the University of Oxford. He thinks our reality is just a computer simulation of some advanced civilization. According to Nick Bostrom, at least one of the following three statements is true: civilizations often go extinct before a realistic simulated development is possible; advanced civilizations are often not interested in creating realistic simulations; We are almost certainly living inside a computer simulation. Not only scientists, some famous figures also doubted the reality of humans. During the Recode 2016 conference, Elon Musk – founder of Tesla and SpaceX – said that “the probability that we are living in the original world is one in a billion”. What if you dig a tunnel through the Earth? The tunnel through the Earth will take several years to complete under extremely high temperatures and pressures. The gravity train will make this trip in 42 minutes.

Upgraded Russian Mi-28NM attack helicopter. Photo: TASS The demonstration of the complex technical features of the Mi-28NM attack helicopter will be one of the most awaited events of MASK-2021. “The Mi-28NM helicopter has undergone many upgrades after being tested on the Syrian battlefield. Engineers have successfully experimented in real combat conditions to present the most powerful version of the ‘iron bird’ in the Russian air force,” said Professor Vadim Kozyulin of the Russian Academy of Military Sciences. . In terms of structure, the cockpit of the Mi-28NM is reinforced more firmly, with an air-conditioning system, with additional protective armor, including a metal front windshield that is resistant to 12 bullets, 7 mm. The cabin has an additional layer of glass that separates the compartment between the two pilots, minimizing the possibility of the main pilot and the pilot pilot dying at the same time from enemy fire.

A Taiwanese fighter jet closely follows a Chinese bomber over the Taiwan Strait in February 2021 (Image: SCMP) According to Taiwan, these military aircraft include many fighter jets and bombers capable of dropping atomic bombs. This is considered the largest airspace crossing of China that Taiwan has recorded so far. Although there has been no comment from Beijing, according to Reuters, this information comes after G7 leaders issued a joint statement last Sunday in which they criticized China for a series of issue, emphasizing the importance of peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait. Beijing later condemned the joint statement as “defamation”. Over the past several months, Taiwan has continuously released information about a series of incidents of Chinese air force entering its airspace, mainly concentrated in the southwest area of ​​the air defense identification zone. The most recent incident involved 14 J-16s, six J-11s, and four nuclear-capable H-6 bombers, along with anti-submarine and electronic warfare aircraft. and early warning; according to the Taiwan Defense Agency. The incident has just been reported to be the largest-scale incident since Taiwanese authorities began publicly reporting violations of their ADIZ since last year, breaking the previous record of 25 Chinese aircraft. entered Taiwanese airspace on April 12. Taiwan’s Defense Ministry added that its fighter jets were deployed to intercept and repel the Chinese aircraft, while missile systems were deployed at the ready. The Chinese Ministry of National Defense has not yet commented on this information. China has previously asserted that such missions are necessary to protect the country’s sovereignty and deal with “collusion” between Taipei and Washington. The United States, like most countries that do not have formal diplomatic relations with Taiwan, keeps a close eye on events that raise tensions with Beijing.

“I wanted to convert the plane into an RV (Recreational Vehicle) since I was 12 years old, after watching a TV show. Until I served in the Air Force, I always thought one day. will make it happen.” It took Gino about a year to build his dream mobile home by himself. Almost every day, he slept very little because he was excited, thinking about what to do the next day. Gino manually converted the plane into a mobile home. Parts from old aircraft are used by Gino and fitted into the car such as light switches, intercoms to decorative details. The engine part was taken from an old truck. In addition to the main parts, the bathroom area, the kitchen with a microwave oven is also fully installed by Gino and tries to keep the space and layout of the plane. He also turned what used to be the cabin crew area into his youngest son’s aviation-themed bedroom. Despite its unique shape, Gino’s 27-square-foot RV is still roadworthy and legally licensed in all 50 states. The RV is fully equipped and meets the traveling conditions. Since completing renovations in the summer of 2020, Gino has taken his family on many trips across the United States. When traveling on empty and wide roads, he feels like he is actually flying an airplane. “Children are often surprised and curious about the shape of the car, many veterans are also interested and start a conversation with me. It’s very happy to see that people like my work.”

“However, it is still too early to announce the modernization of the Su-57”, said Major General Vladimir Popov, member of the Expert Council of the movement “Strong Russia”, Honored Military Pilot. launched and added, so far only 3 squadrons are flying this new generation fighter. “Here, we are most likely talking about the completion of the second-stage engines. By the end of the year they are expected to enter series production with characteristics that are true to the standards of the 5th generation aircraft.” “Today, the Su-57 flies on the AL-41F1S for 4+ generation fighters, despite its high maneuverability thanks to thrust vector control, a new engine has been produced for it, went through testing and the certification was practically passed,” Popov said in an interview with PolitExpert. The upgraded version of the Su-57 is most likely just a second-stage engine integration Now the central question regarding when to put the new engine into production is decided. Boris Popov suggests that Minister Manturov is most likely alluding to this when talking about the modernization of the Su-57. Phase two engines have been included in the project, but their creation is being delayed. “It has to do with economic issues at home and abroad, especially when Western rivals have come a long way. But now this period is over. We are completely independent. production, testing new engines and getting ready for mass production,” Major General Popov explained. “Currently in practice, operational experience is being gathered when the characteristics of the aircraft are confirmed,” emphasized Popov. “It’s not the test engineers that prepare the aircraft, but the technical staff who work directly in the unit. This is like another human quality. In this case, some nuances emerge, those New processes are being approved, parts or even systems are changing,” said the honorary pilot. “Two years have passed since these aircraft entered service with Air Force units. There have been a number of minor changes that need to be made to the structure. This is also a type of modernization for the Air Force. for the Su-57”, Major General Vladimir Popov concluded.

“As early as Soviet times, this concept was formed when our armed forces simultaneously used front-line fighters of both heavy and light.” “If in the fourth generation, the MiG-29 plays the role of a twin-engine light fighter and the corresponding heavy is the Su-27, in the fifth generation we have the same twin-engine Su-57. for expensive”. “Until recently we did not have an aircraft of another light weight class,” said AviaPort’s head of analysis, expert Oleg Panteleev. At the same time, light and heavy fighters are designed to solve different problems. “Heavy fighters are needed to cover large areas, which means they have to fly a long enough distance before completing the mission,” the expert explained. “For light fighters, aircraft with fuel reserves and a smaller combat range, another mission has been determined. Figuratively speaking, it would fight over a protected object and tackle an equivalent range of missions in terms of versatility, including aerial combat and assault against ground and water targets, but at a shorter distance from its base,” added Panteleev. Concept graphics of a new generation of Russian single-engine light fighter This expert considers the idea of ​​​​building a single-engine fighter to be right. “Common sense, a single-engine aircraft will always be cheaper than a two-engine aircraft if we consider comparable performance,” he said. “However, in the event of one engine failure, the plane is likely to crash, while a twin-engine aircraft can continue to fly thanks to the other engine.” “But with the progress being made in improving the engines and increasing their reliability, situations where engine failure leads to the loss of an aircraft are quite rare. Second, rescue work has developed well enough to ensure guarantee the rescue of the pilot,” Panteleev said. The expert also pointed out that at the test stage, Al-31FN series 3 and 4 engines can be used. In addition, during aircraft construction, flight tests can be performed on existing engines to check the operation of systems independent of the dynamometer. Of course it does not match the full range of engine characteristics that are the target of the aircraft. “We also know that the AL-31 and its modifications are a well-run and mass-produced engine with high reliability due to the modernization carried out. So at the experimental stage, its use proved to be quite reasonable,” said Panteleev. At the same time, the expert noted that the construction of engines that can be used in the light version of the fifth-generation aircraft has been taking place in Russia for a long time. “We remember that the new engine for the Su-57 was used and the T-50 prototype of the Su-57 fighter even flew with this engine. So there will certainly be no delay in creating a new engine,” Panteleev said. As for the difficulties that need to be solved when building a fifth-generation light fighter, the expert notes a large number of requirements for it. Often these requirements conflict – “compact, low reflectivity and high payload, long flight time and, if possible, supersonic cruise; deployment of concealed weapons and an increase in the range of weapons carried, including relatively large long-range missiles”. “So the main difficulty is how to achieve the optimal combination of requirements, and at the same time to compete on price so that the aircraft does not burden the Russian budget and is attractive for export.” Mr. Panteleev concluded.

F-35A Lightning II . (Source: airforcemag.com) According to Sputnik, Air Force Magazine considers the F-35A Lightning II to be the most effective fighter aircraft in the world US Air Force . The magazine notes that between 2019 and 2020, the Mission Capable Rate (MCR) of this fifth-generation fighter has increased from 61.6 to 76.07%. Meanwhile, this parameter of the F-22A Raptor has increased from 50.57 to 51.98%; The MCR of the F-15C, F-16C and F-16D increased, but decreased with the F-15D and F-15E. The improved combat capabilities of the F-35A Lightning II are due to the renewed fleet of aircraft, as well as an increase in the number of available spare parts and the opening of new warehouses for them. The magazine reiterated that the US Air Force plans to phase out the F-15C and F-15D, as well as in the future to phase out the F-15C. F-22A Raptor . Earlier in April, The Drive reported that the US Air Force’s F-35A Lightning II would be equipped with a tablet with an “app store.” However, Defense News revealed F-35A Lightning II incapable of traversing significant distances over the Pacific Ocean in air-to-air conditions aerial refueling ./.

Rakesh and Dakshina invited 161 guests to their wedding ceremony on the plane. Rakesh and Dakshina, from Madurai, India decided to get married, but due to restrictions and regulations to prevent the Covid-19 epidemic, the couple came up with the idea of ​​​​having a wedding ceremony on an airplane. The couple made this a reality when chartering a plane and holding a wedding ceremony on a flight from Madurai to Bangalore on May 23. The flight took off from Madurai International Airport at 7 a.m., although the guest list far exceeded the state government’s limit for maximum gatherings at an event. The video shows the flight filled with guests as the couple stood in front of the aisle and performed the ceremony. The groom can be seen placing a traditional ornament around the bride’s neck while attendees cheer and toss flowers at them. The flight was packed with people. Rakesh and Dakshina officially performed the ceremony as soon as the plane flew over Madurai Meenakshi Amman Temple. After the wedding on the plane, the couple went to a hotel in Bangalore for a small reception. All passengers on board, who are their relatives, have had RT-PCR tests and tested negative. However, many guests chose not to wear masks and did not keep a safe distance. The police have received information about the incident and are considering whether to open an investigation into violations of regulations on prevention of the Covid-19 epidemic.

Sukhoi’s Su-57 fighter Associated TASS May 26, citing a source in the Russian military aircraft industry, said the above information Sukhoi is a well-known company in the military aircraft manufacturing industry, especially the Su-family fighters and fighters such as Su-27, Su-30, Su-35 and the latest is the Su-57 stealth fighter. . These aircraft are all 2-engine, similar to the MiG family fighters in the Russian air force such as MiG-29, MiG-35… Source of TASS “The Sukhoi company is developing the first single-engine light tactical aircraft in modern Russian history with a take-off weight of up to 18 tons,” said the statement. According to him, the aircraft can reach a maximum flight speed of more than Mach 2. The fighter is distinguished by its super-maneuverability and improved take-off and landing characteristics due to the impact of the propulsion engine. push vector. In early April, it was reported that the Russian Ministry of Defense had approved the final exterior design of a new type of stealth bomber, also known as the “advanced long-range aviation complex” (PAK DA). ). The PAK DA aircraft is being developed by the Tupolev company with the priority of reducing radar reflections and equipping long-range weapons. Sheet Izvestia news: Several features of the PAK DA have been approved after a series of tests to determine the level of radar signal reflection, aerodynamic test results. “Work on the development of the PAK DA program is at the detailed design stage, construction of several prototypes of a promising bomber is underway,” RIA Novosti quoted a source in the Russian military-industrial complex as saying. The source said that the new bomber will be built according to the “flying wing” aerodynamic scheme, with subsonic speed and long flight time. In addition, it will only use internal weapons, including hypersonic missiles. “It is said that this bomber will be able to control groups of unmanned aerial vehicles and therefore be able to use almost any type of air-to-air missile,” the source said. The new bomber is expected to enter service in 2027. It is expected to replace the Tu-95MS turboprop bombers in the Russian Aerospace Forces. Earlier, it was reported that the Russian Defense Ministry was working on a project to build a special unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and a control system for it to be able to engage in anti-submarine warfare. Potential platforms for creating such an apparatus are currently being studied, sources in the Russian Defense Ministry told. Izvestia . In the future, there are plans to use heavy drones equipped with anti-submarine weapons. Several devices combine to form a network that can coordinate the search for the enemy. The drones can be launched from airports or from land. They will be controlled from both aboard and in the air, aided by automation capabilities and artificial intelligence elements. These devices can attack the target independently or in combination with the weapons of other anti-submarine weapons.

Colonial Pipeline on May 9 also said that many of the company’s main operating pipelines are still closed, but some small lines connecting the supply station and distribution point have returned to normal operation. On May 7, Colonial Pipeline was hacked with ransomware, a type of code that locks systems by encrypting data and demands a ransom to restore access. The attack caused Colonia Pipeline to shut down the entire pipeline network. Colonial Pipeline transports gasoline, diesel, jet fuel and other refined products from the Gulf of Texas to the densely populated East Coast of the United States through an 8,850-kilometer pipeline, serving 50 million customers. In areas affected by supply disruptions, fuel demand increased by 4% on May 8, prices also increased by more than 4.2%. The attack caused concern among US consumers about the scarcity of gasoline supplies if the problem is not fixed in time.

Colonial Pipeline transports 2.5 million barrels of fuel per day. Photo: Colonial Pipeline According to the BBC, the state of emergency allows fuel to be transported by road. The news agency quoted experts as saying that fuel prices could increase by 2-3% on May 10, but the real impact would be much worse if this situation continued for longer. Many sources confirm that the malicious code attack is caused by a cybercriminal gang called DarkSide, which infiltrated Colonial’s system on May 6 and stole nearly 100GB of data as a “hostage”. After taking over the data, the group of hackers locked this data on some computers and servers, demanded a ransom and warned that if they did not receive the money, they would release the data on the internet. Colonial is working with law enforcement, cybersecurity and the US Department of Energy to restore service. On the evening of May 9, the company announced that although the four main pipelines continued to stop, some smaller lines between the terminals and delivery points were still operating. “Immediately after learning of the attack, Colonial proactively shut down certain systems to stop the threat. These actions temporarily halted all pipeline operations and affected some systems. our information technology system, which we are actively working on restoring,” said Colonial. “We are in the process of restoring service to other pipelines and will bring the entire system back online when we believe it is safe and in full compliance with all federal regulations. “. The DarkSide message appears on the victim’s computer screen. DarkSide isn’t the largest cybercriminal gang in the field, but the incident demonstrates the heightened risk that malware poses to critical U.S. industrial infrastructure, not just businesses. This gang lists all types of stolen data and sends the victim the URL of the “personal leak site”, where the data is pre-loaded waiting for automatic publication, if the company or organization does not. payment before the deadline. DarkSide claims to provide proof of the data obtained, and is ready to delete all such data from the victim’s network. According to Digital Shadows, a London-based cybersecurity company that tracks global cybercrime groups to help businesses limit their risk of being hacked, DarkSide acts like a company.

Boeing suspends 737 MAX deliveries due to electrical problems. (Source: Rappler) The slow delivery process will affect Boeing’s cash flow, as airlines and customers often pay most of the order value after receiving the goods. The 737 MAX is Boeing’s best-selling plane, but has been grounded for 20 months after two crashes that killed 346 people. Deliveries of the aircraft resumed in November last year, after Boeing updated its flight control system. But now, about 100 737 MAX planes are still “on hold” because of an electrical fault, and it took Boeing longer than anticipated to fix the problem. Ed Pierson, a former Boeing production manager, said the electrical fault should have been discovered during the evaluation of the 737 MAX aircraft after the two crashes. He once “complained” to the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for focusing only on reviewing the flight control system without checking for other problems in the production process. Boeing said it received an order for 25 planes last month, but 17 of the 737 MAX planes were cancelled, leaving the number of planes ordered down to just eight. (according to Rappler)

Tran Trinh Huy (1900 – 1974) was the third son of Mr. Tran Trinh Trach, the richest landowner in Bac Lieu. Mr. Trach has 7 children including 3 boys – Tran Trinh Dinh, Tran Trinh Huy, Tran Trinh Khuong – and 4 girls. All 3 sons are notorious playboys, but the most prominent is still Uncle Huy. Prince of Black, Prince of Bac Lieu Tran Trinh Huy Uncle Ba Huy was born at a time when Mr. Council Trach’s estate was at its peak. Ba Huy’s childhood and childhood lived completely in luxury. Throughout the day, Uncle Ba was pampered and played to his heart’s content. Studying was not interested by Ba. However, when he was growing up, he had to meet the fashion trend of young people to study abroad in France, so Ba Huy asked his father’s permission to study abroad. With the concept that the surface field is not equal to giving his son a letter, Mr. Trach Council tried everything to let Uncle Ba go on the road. After three years in a foreign land, Uncle Ba returned home. In order to welcome the return of his son to be worthy of the family routine, Mr. Trach Council from Bac Lieu to Saigon went to the car company on the corner of Charner (Nguyen Hue) – Bonard (Le Loi) to buy a new car. Although the family’s old Ford is still in use and is the coveted dream of many people. Uncle Huy’s car. This car is currently on display at the Bac Lieu Prince’s showroom Looking at the council man with his grandmother’s clothes, with the … countryside with a faint smell of rice, the car salesmen showed disdain. Regardless, the councilman told his companions to choose the most luxurious, best and most expensive car for him. He sat in that car. Cozy, comfortable. Satisfied, the councilman pulled out the mound and opened it. Countless piles of money made the car salesman roll his eyes. After buying a car, the car was on duty at Nha Rong wharf to wait for the train carrying his son from France to return to the wharf. Uncle Ba Huy ashore to get on a new car next to it, carrying parents and relatives back to Bac Lieu. The car, driven by Uncle Ba Huy, ran at a fairly high speed, making the people sitting in the car tremble with fear. Sitting in the car, the council asked about his learning situation, he calmly replied that he only likes to learn to fly a plane, learn to dance, learn to drive as well as travel to visit farming. of the French. He also did not mention that he left the capital of light a French wife and a half-blood child. Unlike Bach, because he loved the stage, when he went to France, besides having fun, he also approached the Western stage, Ba Huy only focused on agriculture. Uncle Ba accumulated a little capital for farming, so he was then assigned by the council to look after the estate. However, being not interested in the job, Uncle Ba immediately hired a Frenchman to look after and manage the land and gardens. In his spare time, he indulges in playing, leaning with love affairs, going crazy with red and black animals… Compared with the king Going to Bac Lieu to meet the elders, you can hear anecdotes about . This anecdote follows the waterfall anecdote that makes the story of Ba Huy even more vivid. The story is told that after being assigned to manage the estate by his father, every time he visited the field, his father wore a cravatte vest and sat in a Ford vedette. In areas that have to travel by water, he uses canoes. At that time, all vehicles on the river were rowing. His father’s canoe to visit the fields powered by a machine is indeed a rare image in the countryside of Bac Lieu. Moreover, every time he plays sports, he uses a Peugeot sports car. This car was in the South at that time, in addition to his father, only one other person used it, King Bao Dai. Legend has it that in this world, Uncle Ba is not inferior to anyone, including kings. So whenever King Bao Dai had something, Ba Huy got it, including an airplane. The small plane was bought and brought back to Vietnam. Thanks to his time in France, he learned to fly, so Uncle Ba is a pilot who controls the plane every time he visits the field. King Bao Dai’s plane was purchased with public funds. Only Bac Lieu’s son is the only Vietnamese who owns a private jet. The reputation of Bac Lieu’s son’s way of life and play resounded throughout the land of Cochinchina. He lived in harmony with farmers, understanding the plight of farmers. He is willing to reduce rice, write off debts for special circumstances. He also enjoys playing. Once he flew a plane to visit the fields in Rach Gia, he went to Ha Tien. The scenery of Ha Tien was so beautiful that he kept wandering around in the sky until the fuel gauge ran out, he had to land at a nearby airport. Unfortunately, that airport is in Thai territory. Thai authorities impounded the plane and then fined an amount equivalent to 200,000 bushels of rice. Mr. Trach Council had to mobilize a rather long group of boats to carry rice to Thailand to pay the fine to welcome his son back. A newspaper at that time named Le Courrier Saigonnais also published information about this aircraft purchase event. The expression “Bac Lieu’s son” was born in the early 20th century to refer to the children of rich people who are more interested in playing than in learning and working. At first, this idiom was just to generalize about the rich children in Bac Lieu, but later on, because Ba Huy’s play performance was so outstanding, everyone understood that when it came to this word, it was referring to him. Prince of Bac Lieu Tran Trinh Huy is a special phenomenon that is probably difficult to find a second person in this world.

Dream of the sky The daughter of a tsarist general, Lydia Zvereva was obsessed with planes from an early age. She read a lot of books about aviation, took complex mechanical toys to pieces, and talked for hours about hot air balloons and airplanes. She even performed “test flights” by jumping from the roof of the storage shed to the ground. “Ever since I was a little girl, I was very interested in the hot air balloons at Osowiec Fortress, so I built models. At that time in Russia no one could fly, and in the press only occasionally began to appear the first information about the achievements of foreign manufacturers,” recalls Lidya Zvereva. Russia’s first female pilot Lydia Zvereva on the plane “Farman-4”. Photo: Karl Bulla/russiainphoto.ru What worries Lydia is certainly not that the early twentieth century aviation industry is still in its infancy, but that flights are very dangerous to life. Flimsy, unreliable planes are prone to capsizing and breaking the wind, claiming the lives of dozens of pilots around the world every year. However, Lydia Zvereva enrolled in the private aviation school “Gamayun” near Saint Petersburg. The local newspaper wrote about the first woman who wanted to learn to be a pilot, calling her “Miss Z” because she wanted to respect her private life. “Lydia Zvereva flew without hesitation and very decisively. I remember everyone paying attention to her masterful flights, including the very high ones. Because at that time, not everyone dared to take the risk of flying to such a high altitude,” said her classmate Konstantin Artseulov. There were a few times when Lydia Zvereva had a serious accident, but always luckily only minor scratches. On August 23, 1911, after passing all the necessary exams, the 21-year-old “Miss Z” was granted a pilot’s license, becoming the first female pilot of the Russian Empire. Talented Aircraft Builder In 1912, Lydia Zvereva, along with her husband, pilot Vladimir Slyusarenko, practiced aerobatics. They attended Aviation Week in Baku, performed in Tiflis (now Tbilisi, Georgia), where female pilots performed flights in difficult weather conditions. The trip to Riga almost became Lydia Zvereva’s last. While flying, the wind started to pick up and threw her “Farman” plane into the stands. She tried to fly up, but she was thrown into the stronger wind, and her plane was eventually overturned. When she fell to the ground, the female pilot was thrown forward and was crushed by aircraft debris. Not long after, in one of her letters, she wrote: “When the plane went down, I almost broke my leg. It still hurts to this day. My lung condition is very bad. The doctor told me not to go anymore, but I still wanted to fly. They warn, if you do not obey, you will get tuberculosis. Indeed, that is the fate of the pilot profession!”. Lydia Zvereva with the first Russian-made aircraft “Kudashev-1”. Documentary photo Despite the accident, perhaps thanks to that, Lydia’s performances were so successful. She and her husband were invited to stay in Riga and they happily accepted. This large city on the Baltic coast was at that time the center of the Russian aviation industry. Here they built the first aircraft engines in the country. In 1913, she and her husband opened their pilot school in Riga with the lowest tuition fees in the country. In addition, they also organized aircraft repair and design classes, at which time Lydia Zvereva was an aircraft builder who upgraded aircraft manufactured in Western countries. This particular woman was invited to work in Austria-Hungary, but she decided to stay in her homeland. Female pilot with no number Teaching and crafting did not make Lydia Zvereva more cautious. This first Russian female pilot is still actively flying as before, even though it is very dangerous to her life. She even had the courage to participate in the “death” twist when sitting on the plane. That flight took place on May 19, 1914 in a monoplane “Moran” piloted by experienced male pilot Evgeny Shpitsberg. The newspaper “Riga Messenger” wrote: “The “Moran” quickly soared into the air. 500, 600 then 700 meters. At an altitude of 800 meters, the plane suddenly stopped in the air and then dived. Almost simultaneously, the spectators gathered below all fled. But after a few seconds, there was a rumble of the engine, the plane soared high and then took a sharp turn. The crowd held their breath with applause. After a while, the plane flew along a beautiful spiral and then landed in the grandstand area. “Hooray! Hooray!” – everyone chanted.” Lydia Zvereva’s admirer is the male pilot Pyotr Nesterov, the first person in the world to perform this complex flight. At the outbreak of World War I, the couple’s pilot school was evacuated to the city of Petrograd (now Saint Petersburg). In fact, this school has become a manufacturing workshop, where 300 employees carry out orders from the Ministry of Defense. Fate did not allow Lydia Zvereva to live until the end of World War I. Many times she escaped death while flying, but she died of typhoid on June 16, 1916 at the age of 26. The female pilot’s friends and students saw her off to her final resting place by flying around in “Farmans” over Alexander Nevsky Monastery in Petrograd.

The Boeing 737 MAX plane is about to land in a test flight in Seattle, Washington state, USA on June 29, 2020. Photo: AFP / VNA On May 11, Boeing said it delivered 17 planes in April, including four 737 MAX planes. Boeing CEO David Calhoun has warned that the number of aircraft delivered in April has been affected due to the aforementioned 737 MAX problem. The slow handover process will affect Boeing’s cash flow, as airlines and other customers typically pay a large portion of the value of their orders upon receipt. The 737 MAX is Boeing’s best-selling aircraft, but was banned for 20 months after two plane crashes that killed 346 people. Handover operations resumed last November after Boeing updated its flight control system. But now, about 100 737 MAX planes are waiting for an electrical fault, and it takes Boeing longer than expected to fix the problem.

Today, according to the accepted features of the 6th generation fighter, the aircraft can be piloted with or without a human presence and although today, experts note. Unmanned version of the Su-57. However, the fact is that Russian fighters can be used in unmanned aircraft (UAV) mode and will most likely be controlled by an artificial intelligence system that enhances the fighter type. Level up to generation 5+ or even to generation 5 ++. The Su-57 fighter developed in 2002 was Russia’s first stealth fighter. (Photo: RIA) For information on the use of drones by Russian Su-57 fighters, military analysts said the Su-57 fighter aircraft will be carried inside and outside the cabin. And development of the cockpit device and the control software program has begun. “A rack is also being built to conduct ground testing of the UAV’s interactive system with fighters and between UAVs in real time using a semi-autonomous simulation system. of course, ”said a source in the military industry. It is known that a fifth generation Su-57 fighter aircraft can house more than 10 reconnaissance and attack UAVs, as well as electronic warfare systems. Currently, work related to the testing of these drones is already underway. However, under the control of fighter aircraft systems, Russian designers will likely execute the plan no sooner than 2024-2025. “The devices in the group operation through safe communication channels will interact with the control complex on the fighter aircraft carrying the UAV and between the UAVs together,” the source explained. Earlier, in the context of the completion of the repair and modernization of the Russian heavy aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov, it emerged that the Russian fleet was preparing to equip the deck of this aircraft carrier with a group of engines. Su-57 fighter jet. A carrier-based version of the fifth generation fighter, moreover, the second version could appear in 1.5-2 years. The Russian designers are actually working on developing a carrier-based version of the fifth generation fighter Su-57, while the development stage is not disclosed, however, the appearance. of the possible carrier version of the Su-57 by 2023. To date, there is no official confirmation of this data, however, the Russian fleet is clearly interested in increasing Admiral Kuznetsov’s aircraft carrier’s combat capabilities through the use of technology fighters. high – even a current version of the Su-57 alone enough to defend against an entire group of enemy carrier attacks. The fifth-generation fighter Su-57 is considered Russia’s most high-tech fighter, and although the mass production of this fighter faces some difficulties, its prospects are still very high. By the end of 2020, the first stealth fighter Su-57 in the mass production batch with ID number 01 was staffed for the Southern Military Region and operated at the Novosibirsk base. Sources in the Russian defense industry said that four more Su-57 will be delivered to the Russian Aerospace Forces in 2021. Currently Russia has only one mass-produced variant of the Su-57, although it claims to be able to develop several variants from the original. Russia for the first time promoted a second version, the Su-57E, in March 2019 that could be used for export.

The morgue and crematorium are operating at full capacity, but still not enough to meet demand when the epidemic storm swept the country. Air fares and demand for private jets abroad have skyrocketed in India over the past few days. Photo: Reuters On April 26, the Worldometers page reported that the number of new infections in India in the past 24 hours reached 354,531 people, the 5th consecutive day setting a world record for the number of cases per day. The total number of deaths due to the epidemic is currently 195,116, an increase of 2,806 from a day earlier. In New Delhi alone, it is estimated that one person per 4 minutes from the virus dies. Many countries vowed to impose travel restrictions on tourists from India. Negative developments have caused wealthy people in the world’s second-most populous country to rush to find a way to catch the last flight or take a private jet to leave the country, before “banning” orders. effective. According to Gulf News, one of their favorite destinations is the United Arab Emirates (UAE), which is only a short distance from India and often has hundreds of flights to and from each day. The UAE has announced a ban on visitors originating from India for 10 days from April 25. The price list listed on the websites shows that the fare for one-way commercial flights from Mumbai to Dubai on April 23-24 is about 80,000 rupees (over $ 1,000), 10 times more than normal . Fares for the New Delhi – Dubai route are more than 50,000 rupees (approximately 700 USD), 5 times more than a week ago. The Economic Times newspaper on April 23 quoted a spokesperson for the Indian aircraft rental service company, revealed that the need to rent a private jet was “terribly escalating”. Only on April 24, the company has 12 flights to Dubai and all flights are full. Another private jet carrier, Enthral Aviation, said the company was also overwhelmed by hundreds of bookings in recent days. That forced the airline to hire more planes from abroad to meet demand. The cost of renting a 13-seater aircraft from Mumbai to Dubai is US $ 38,000 and a 6-seater aircraft for the same itinerary is US $ 31,000. To save money, some people team up to rent planes together. Enthral Aviation also received a few requests to Thailand, but the most booked destination is still Dubai. According to the Sunday Times, at least eight private jets from India arrived in the UK on April 24 before London imposed a ban on entry to the South Asian country. The day before, fares for one-way commercial flights from Mumbai or New Delhi to the UK capital were around 100,000 – 150,000 rupees ($ 1,337 to 2,007), double the normal price, but also ran out of space. . Seats on commercial flights from India to the US over the weekend are still available, but prices are generally double as usual.

Kenya Airways’ aircraft at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in Nairobi. Heartbreaking discovery On the afternoon of June 30, 2019, 31-year-old British software engineer Wil was outside his house in Clapham (southwest London), drinking beer while chatting with a friend, above his head. , the planes were also rushing to Heathrow airport to end their journey. Taking out his phone, Wil shows him an app that tells the user the route and pattern of any passing aircraft. When he saw an airplane passing by, he opened the application to view information, then raised his phone to shade the sun and squinted at the sky. Suddenly, Wil saw something falling from the sky. “At first I thought it was a bag, but after a few seconds, I discovered the object was quite large and fell very quickly,” Mr. Wil said. Wil thinks that the object could be part of the landing gear or the luggage in the cargo hold. However, he suddenly remembered a long-read article about people hiding tickets on planes. Wil does not want to believe in this possibility but cannot deny the object gets closer and closer. “In the final seconds before the object lands, I see limbs. I think it’s a person, ”continued Wil. Shortly thereafter, Wil opened the flight determination application, and his friend called the police to report the news. According to information on the phone application, the plane that has just passed over that area is Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner carrying number KQ 100 of Kenya Airways. The man was dropped from a plane of Kenya Airways 1000m to the ground. After that, Wil drove his motorbike to find where the object fell, and mumbled to pray that he would only see a coat, a bag or something on the ground. When he went to the next route, he met a police car in the opposite direction and decided to follow. The destination is on Offerton Street, 300 meters from Wil’s house. When he arrived, Wil saw John Baldock, a gray-faced man standing dumbfounded outside a house. Looking through the window, Wil noticed that the inner garden was “completely destroyed”. “The first thing I told John was to ask if it was the same person, because I’m still not 100% sure. He said nothing, just looked at me and nodded, making my heart heavy, “Wil said. That man fell from a height of more than 1,000m to the ground. This is an airplane ticket evader. Hard search On the day of the incident, because the London Police Department’s unit in charge of searching for the missing people was overloaded, agent Paul Graves of the voluntary crime unit was in charge of the investigation. As an experienced senior detective, Graves has more than 30 years specializing in handling stabbing, shooting, kidnapping and murder conspiracy. He hopes to soon identify the man “fell from the sky” and return the body. After receiving the report, the police quickly went to Offerton Street, talked with Wil, John and people living in the area, and contacted Heathrow airport. The airport sent staff to inspect the landing gear – the area of ​​the aircraft’s landing gear will retract after takeoff – aboard a Kenyan Airways Boeing. There was barely enough room for one person to hide inside, and after checking in, an old backpack with the initials MCA was found there. The backpack does not contain any important clues, only contains a few pieces of bread, a bottle of soft drink, a bottle of water and a pair of sports shoes. “Food, water and shoes are the definition of survival for that person,” Detective Graves said. However, there was also some Kenyan coins in the backpack and a bottle of Fantamà, according to verification sold at a store in the country, showed that the stowaway was almost certainly on board there. The flight initially departed from Johannesburg, South Africa to Nairobi, Kenya. So the elimination of the possibility of a man getting on a plane from South Africa is a remarkable discovery: At the Lambeth Morgue, pathologists took samples of the man’s DNA and duplicate copies of his fingerprints. hand him and send it to the authorities in Kenya. However, the DNA determination later showed that it did not match anyone in Kenya. Graves hopes that he will have better luck with fingerprints as many problems in Kenya require candidates to have fingerprints. But the smuggler’s fingerprints were also not on the Kenyan police database. The incident meanwhile attracted the attention of public opinion. Because the situation of migrants betting their lives to reach Europe has appeared so often in the newspapers, and this is a completely different thing: an unidentified man, from a country about a third of the population lives on less than $ 2 a day, crashing the bottom of a plane into one of the wealthiest places in London. According to statistics of the US Federal Aviation Administration, from 1947 to February 2020, 128 people around the world tried to smuggle planes in this way. More than 75% of them were killed. The stowaway can fall off the plane during take-off, as in the case of 14-year-old Keith Sapsford falling from a cabin landing a Douglas DC-8 departing from Sydney, Australia for Tokyo, Japan, in January. 2/1970. Even if they survive the take-off, the stowaways can be crushed as they return, as Adonis Guerrero Barrios died in July 2011. The 23-year-old has climbed into the cockpit of the Airbus A340 from Cuba to Madrid, Spain. Even with luck avoiding the above possibilities, those who cling to the plane still face the cargo. Other deadly risk series. For example, within 25 minutes of take-off, most passenger aircraft reach an altitude of nearly 11 km, the outside temperature is approximately -54 degrees Celsius, the air pressure is about 4 times lower than normal, preventing the human lungs from getting enough oxygen from the air, which can cause heart failure and brain death. If the stowaway somehow managed to survive the journey, they would surely lose consciousness once the plane began to descend. Therefore, when the aircraft opens the door to lower the landing gear, usually within 8 km of the runway, they can fall freely. This is why bodies are sometimes found south of London, near Heathrow’s route, as in the case of Pakistani elder Mohammed Ayaz who died from falling from a British Airways flight into a Homebase parking lot. , also in Richmond in June 2001. There are also rare instances where some of the stowaways still survived that scientists have not fully explained these cases. In September 2019, three months after receiving the investigation, Agent Graves flew to Kenya, hoping to find out what details could help identify the mysterious but futile man. Dead end, he decided to use the last resort, thanks to the help and spread of the media, but failed. At the end of 2019, Kenyan officials decided to close the investigation. This is also seen as typical of the tragic cases of migrants. Many of them drowned at sea, were electrocuted in cross-strait tunnels, or assaulted to death by racist mobs. According to the Project Lost Migrants, 10,134 have been killed on the global migration routes since 2014. That might just be the tip of the iceberg.

Departing on April 29 and coming back on May 2, passengers will have to pay about 7-8.4 million VND including tax fees. Specifically, if you choose the cheapest flight, you will travel on the departure flight at 13:05 and arrive at Con Dao at 15:25, with a round-trip ticket price of 7 million VND including tax and fee.

In addition to many flight options priced at about VND 8 million round trip, this flight also recorded a pair of round-trip flights with a total ticket price of up to VND 8.4 million / passenger. The departure of this flight with the price of 8.4 million dong is the flight departing at 12:30 from Noi Bai airport and arriving at Con Dao airport at 14:55 on April 29. The return leg of the journey will depart at 9:25 am on May 2 and land at Noi Bai airport at 11:50 am. Ticket price for the first leg of the itinerary is VND 4,245,000 including tax and return fare is 4,205,000 VND, making the total ticket price up to 8,450,000 VND. These non-stop flights are operated by Bamboo Airways with the 195 regional Embraer jets. In addition to the option to fly directly with Bamboo Airways, passengers can save money by transiting in Ho Chi Minh City with other airlines. flights of Vietnam Airlines Group. The cheapest round-trip fare that Vietnam Airlines and Vasco offer on the same flight sector is 4.5 million VND including tax and fee. Passengers will move to Ho Chi Minh City and transfer to Vasco’s ATR 72 to continue their journey to Con Dao. This kind of flight is half as cheap as a direct flight. However, passengers’ journey will last from 4 hours 30 minutes to more than 6 hours due to plane transfer. Meanwhile, the direct flight option only takes 2 hours and 20 minutes. In addition, the Embraer 195 experience is also more appreciated than the ATR 72 propeller airplane experience. According to the Aviation Administration, in the first quarter alone, Con Dao airport welcomed nearly 221,000 passengers, an increase of 2 times over the same period last year. Having direct flights from Hanoi and other northern provinces has made Con Dao tourism more accessible to passengers. Rising passenger demand and low Con Dao flight supply capacity, each flight can carry only 68 passengers (ATR 72) or 100 passengers (Embraer 195), making Con Dao fares always in the highest group in the market. inland.

The customer has two basic choices of chicken and beef. However, a special feature of this “winged restaurant” service is that customers will be able to dine on the airline’s aircraft with high-class service. The price to enjoy a meal above is about 391 pounds (540 USD). This new service will help “crazy legged” travelers get the feeling of eating on the plane again on trips that have been constrained by the Covid-19 epidemic since last year. All Nippon Airlines (ANA) serves first-class meals on board for up to $ 540 per person. Photo: Getty Images. All Nippon Airways ‘passengers’ can choose from first-class seats for 59,800 yen (540 USD) meals, or business class for 29,800 yen (270 USD). The “restaurant” is the Boeing-777 currently parked at Haneda Airport in Tokyo. In addition, passengers can choose between meals before meals, and can request for Japanese or international cuisine. Main courses include grilled charcoal fish with saikyo miso soup, stewed beef and tofu; Wagyu beef with Kobe wine mustard; or sauteed sea bass with biscuits served with sake, plum wine or Krug champagne. Mr. Yosuke Kimoto (42 years old) and his son (14 years old) decided to try ANA’s business class meal. “Business class is significantly different from Economy Class in terms of both food and seats. Very spacious, the seats recline like a bed,” he said. The source said the airline will offer 22 lunch and dinner meals this month, each lasting about three hours. Alternatively, customers can pick up a comfort kit and use the airline lounge at the domestic terminal in Haneda. Despite the hefty price tag, the airline meal service is surprisingly welcome. Photo: Getty Images. In-flight meals were surprisingly welcome. ANA has sold 264,000 aircraft meals since December of last year and posted sales of £ 1.3 billion ($ 1.8 billion) as of March 12. Many dishes are out of stock within minutes. All Nippon Airways is not the first airline to implement such an in-flight meal initiative. Earlier, Singapore Airlines began serving meals on two A380 wide-body jets parked at Changi Airport in Singapore. Although the price is quite expensive up to 500 USD, tickets are quickly sold out in less than half an hour. Economy class meals are more affordable, averaging $ 41.5 per person. British Airways also offers first-class meals starting at $ 110, delivered home. Similarly, Finnish national carrier Finnair has also launched a plan to serve business class meals at a supermarket near Helsinki international airport since October last year.

Chef talking to a passenger on an ANA plane parked at Haneda Airport (Tokyo) Airplane food used to have only two main options: chicken or beef. But now, the biggest airline in Japan started to open high-class food service on a flying plane dubbed “restaurant with wings”, with prices up to more than 12 million VND a meal. A flight attendant prepares meals for the “passengers” All Nippons Airways (ANA) ‘passengers’ can choose between first class seats with meals for 59,800 yen (12.5 million VND) or business seats for half, 29,800 yen (6 , 2 million VND), on a Boeing-777 at Haneda Airport in Tokyo. Customers are asked to pre-select their meal from a Japanese or international menu. Main courses include charcoal grilled fish with saikyo miso sauce, Wagyu beef with Kobe mustard, and sautéed sea bass and shrimp soup, served with Japanese sake, plum wine or Krug champagne. Yosuke Kimoto, 42, had a business class meal with his son. She said: “It serves delicious food here. I’m glad my kids like it too ”. They were one of 60 guests who had lunch on the opening day, along with an equal number for dinner. Her son is also very impressed. “The Business Class is very different from Economy Class in terms of both food and seats. This area is very spacious, and the seats can be turned into beds when you lean them back. ANA will provide 22 lunches and dinners this month, each lasting approximately three hours. There is no in-flight entertainment available, but customers will receive a comfortable kit and can also use the airline’s lounge at Haneda Airport. Singapore Airlines was the first airline to take advantage of the public’s in-flight dining needs last October, when the airline began offering meals on two A380 superjumbo jets parked at Singapore’s Changi Airport. Tickets were sold out in just half an hour, although prices can go up to £ 360 (11.5 million VND) to eat in a luxury flight room and watch a movie. Meanwhile, economy class meals are more affordable at just £ 30 (VND960,000) per person. The COVID-19 pandemic pushed the global aviation industry into its biggest ever crisis, with many planes around the world unable to take off due to travel and entry restrictions. Since then a few firms have to get creative to take advantage of airplanes. At ANA, the idea of ​​a “winged restaurant” was devised by the staff. A passenger enjoying a first class meal Surprisingly, the in-flight meal concept is becoming extremely popular. ANA previously opened an international service that sells economy food since December of last year. So far, they have sold more than 264 thousand meals and earned more than 1.3 billion pounds (41.5 billion VND). The airline said within a few minutes that the beef hotpot, creamy hamgburger with fried rice and eggs had been sold out. British Airways has also begun to offer first-class meals home. It includes a four-part meal for two – with fish, meat and vegetarian options. Through food delivery services Do & Co. Starters, dishes include smoked Loch Fyne salmon with mustard sauce, followed by slow-cooked British beef cheek, along with desserts options like dark chocolate, citrus sandwiches and avocado pudding. Likewise, Finland’s national carrier Finnair started selling business-class meals at a supermarket near Helsinki in October last year, and it was also a success at just 12, 9 Euro (350 thousand VND). The Australian Government has invested AD 1.2 billion (VND 21 billion) to halve the fares for 800,000 flights by July this year to assist people in domestic flights. Airlines have seen a surge in bookings as they sell tickets at a 50% discount, after Queensland’s travel restrictions were relaxed. In response to this situation, International Aviation Corporation (IAG) introduced a digital health report card for passengers to help revive the aviation industry, following a record loss of 7.4 billion euros (200.8). billion VND) by 2020. IAG is also working with the International Air Transport Association (IATA) to create a health verification application. The IATA mobile travel card allows passengers to receive COVID-19 test results and prove that they can travel. Currently, the application is being tested by some airlines.

When the movement of young workers to big cities for work takes place quickly, it leaves a “headache” about human resources serving agricultural production. Modern machine tools are considered as the optimal solution to solve the problem of lack of manual labor in the field. To solve the problem of sowing, seeding machines, rice transplanting machines gradually replace. To deal with the harvest, combine harvester is widely used. For post-harvest preservation, large capacity drying systems are utilized, farmers sell fresh rice directly instead of exposing themselves to sun drying as before … Drone demonstration workshop in Vong Dong commune (Thoai Son) However, although machines support many stages, but with rice care tasks, such as weeding, mixing, fertilizing, spraying pesticides … still need a lot of manual labor. “Each rice crop must be sprayed with many drugs, not to mention the pest must increase the number of sprays. My family cultivates 3ha of land, employs 2 people to spray it for more than half a day, and has to supervise to make sure they spray the fields. The rice was being sprayed in the seed, the rice was trampled down, the recovery was slow, and it looked pity. These days, when it is urgent, it is not easy to find someone to spray drugs ”- said farmer Tran Van Minh (Vong The commune, Thoai Son). For the pesticide spray problem, the use of Drones (unmanned aircraft) as a salvage. Farmer Phan Thanh Bac (Vong Dong commune, Thoai Son) said that his family has more than 5 hectares of rice land, each time he hires someone to spray it is very difficult and takes a lot of time, so he has invested more than half a billion dong to buy Drones. both used for home fields and hired by pesticide spraying services. According to Mr. Bac, if the person carrying the sprayer can take 2-3 hours to finish spraying 1ha of land, with Drone, it only takes … 8 minutes. “Since the introduction of the Drone into the field, it helps to reduce a lot of labor, reduce costs but increase rice yield. Less than 1 year, I have been spraying pesticides for more than 3,200 ha of rice farmers in the district. With the cost of spraying 180,000 VND / ha, after deducting all the costs, I have recovered the capital to buy the original Drone ”- Mr. Bac said. As expected, Mr. Bac will invest in buying an additional drone to expand pesticide spraying service. Need to support farmers Ngoc Anh Food Company Limited (Thoai Son) is a distributor, maintenance and training drone for Dai Thanh Joint Stock Company. Director of Ngoc Anh Food Company Limited Cao Van Tan said that over the past 1 year, the company sold 9 P-GLOALCHECK pesticide spraying aircraft to farmers in the province. Because the selling price is still quite high (from 534-609 million VND / machine), it is mainly sold to farmers with a large field area, first serving their home, then spraying pesticides service. Through practical assessment, Drones can reduce the loss of 30% of pesticides in spraying, reduce labor by about 20 times, save 95-97% of water, limit environmental pollution and more importantly, farmers do not continue. Direct contact with pesticides such as spraying should limit health effects. The special feature of the Drone provided by Dai Thanh is a versatile machine that is not fussy about drugs (dissolved powder, water or oil emulsion), applying centrifugal spray technology to bring high accuracy. The particle when coming out of the nozzle is very small and smooth, helping to reduce the actual amount of water needed while ensuring even surface spread. Centrifugal spray technology makes water droplets swirl, making the contact with pests on the underside of the leaves more effective, the ability to concentrate Drone to spray the drug quickly. Drones are also capable of spraying at night, accurately spraying with the control of on-board spray technology, pest diagnosis application to synchronize data with the aircraft to automatically spray into the pest area. Using Drones, it helps to reduce the losses of 150-200 kg rice / ha compared to conventional spraying because the rice is not trampled. Mr. Vo Thanh Manh (Deputy Head of Technical Department, An Giang Agricultural Extension Center) said that An Giang is the province with the second largest rice production area in the Mekong Delta. agricultural concern. Especially, for nearly 2 years now, the technology of unmanned aircraft spraying pesticides on rice and fruit trees has started to develop quite strongly. This is an activity in the project of implementing high technology application in agricultural cultivation, improving production efficiency for farmers in the province. Although the utility of the Drones has been proven, the problem is that the price of Drones is still high, many farmers are difficult to access. To expand the area served by Drone, it is necessary to have policies for farmers to borrow loans to support interest rates or business units to coordinate with banks to support capital for farmers. That is also how to solve the problem of lack of human resources in agriculture today.

Malaysia is currently considering purchasing a new type of light single-engine fighter jet to modernize its air force, with the top three candidates being the South Korean F / A-50, the JF-17. of Sino-Pakistan and Tejas of India. According to some sources, the country’s armed forces are now leaning in favor of the JF-17, a significantly longer operational aircraft that has been produced in larger numbers and deployed. operated by three countries including Pakistan, Myanmar and Nigeria. The F / A-50 fighter is also considered a prime candidate, but the Tejas fighter is not. Other contenders believed to have been eliminated were the Yak-130 of Russia, the British Hawk and the US-Swedish Gripen. The Yak-130 and Hawk had much more limited combat capabilities and were unable to fly hypersonic, while the Gripen had limited features in use. The JF-17 and Tejas have long been regarded as rival fighter jet programs, both of which have many similarities including being very light in weight, and they are smaller than class fighters. Light standard as F-16 and J-10 in size. Both are designed to favor low operating costs and use derivative engines, the engine developed for the Cold War medium-weight two-engine fighters, but used in one engine configuration. Tejas engine was derived from the American F-18, while the JF-17 used engines from the Soviet MiG-29, a direct competitor of the US F-18 during the Cold War. . Both fighters are designed to serve the primary goal of air combat and are built to operate at low cost with either minimal fuel consumption or maintenance requirements. It can be speculated that the reason why Malaysia prefers Pakistan’s JF-17. This fighter was produced in larger numbers and had less difficulty in development than during the Tejas development. Indian fighters entered service more than 40 years after development began. The JF-17 is also available in many variants including a two-seat attack and training variant like the JF-17B. Sino-Pakistani jets are also more compatible with modern armament to which Malaysia is currently heavily dependent, while the Tejas is a Westernized aircraft. Tejas uses American engines, especially Israel’s avionics systems, which is a big drawback for an Islamic country like Malaysia – which doesn’t like Israelis. Tejas is also significantly more costly to manufacture due to the less efficient production line and the very high cost of the component parts from the US and Israel on which it depends. The latest Tejas variants especially have a superior radar advantage over the JF-17 Block 2. However the upcoming JF-17 Block 3 variant is expected to go into mass production by the end of 2023 and will be available. the performance is far superior. Among the outstanding features of the JF-17 Block 3, the most prominent are the integration of AESA radar, Chinese PL-15 air-to-air missile, improved engines and generation avionics. Thursday. In the end, no matter what type of fighter aircraft is chosen, the new aircraft will be a secondary force, while the elite Malaysian air force still consists of Russian Su-30MKA heavy fighters. In addition, the country is particularly interested in more modern Su-57 next-generation fighters. Photo source: Pinterest.

The aircraft carrying the Cessna Grand Caravan 208B trademark made its first self-driving flight. However, self-driving flights can only serve distances under 500 miles and are of considerable commercial importance. Xwing believes that they can gain a foothold in the context of increasing freight demand. “Over the past year, our team has made significant progress in expanding and refining its AutoFlight,” said Marc Piette, CEO and founder of Xwing. for seamless integration of operations from runway to takeoff, landing and flight operations, all overseen from our operations center via data link routes. In addition, our tested commercial freight operations have provided essential supplies including Covid-19 vaccine to remote communities as of December 2020 ”. The recently conducted flight is a Cessna Grand Caravan 208B-branded aircraft that has left the runway, took off, landed and returned to the fully automatic starting point. The flight is monitored remotely and all air traffic control interactions are performed from the ground. After the recent crashes related to the self-driving system failure on Boeing 737MAX aircraft, many people believe that passenger confidence has been significantly eroded. However, a recent ANSYS study found that was not the case. In fact, 70% of passengers say they’re ready to fly on self-driving flights. Xwing’s entry into the self-driving airline market is seen as the right moment. Recent reports show that by 2025, there will be a global shortage of about 34,000 pilots. The logistics services (logistics) are also under tension with the increasing demand for fast delivery. With the increase in e-commerce sales amounting to $ 4.2 trillion, the success of e-commerce inherently depends on the efficiency of the air transport industry. Xwing plans to leverage its technology for e-commerce logistics, allowing more access to small airports and more efficient freight transportation. Phan Van Hoa (according to ZDnet)

German National Railway Company Deutsche Bahn (DB) high-speed train at the station in Munich, Germany, February 10, 2020. Photo: AFP / VNA The joint announcement stated that the BDL and DB aim to attract about 4.3 million passengers shifting from air to rail for domestic travel in the medium term. The program will also seek to increase the number of trains connecting to international flights, make the transfer between aircraft and train travel easier, and shorten the transit time by mid-rail. major cities of Germany. Through this partnership, the BDL and DB hope that CO2 emissions from Germany’s domestic air traffic can be reduced by a sixth. According to the German Ministry of the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety, the country’s transport sector emissions in 2020 will decrease by 11.4% year-on-year, mainly due to the low Use a car more – especially for long-distance journeys – in the first blockade. The ministry noted that the COVID-19 pandemic also had a significant impact on Germany’s domestic aviation industry. By 2020, the CO2 generated by the sector is 60% less than the year before, thanks to travel warnings, blockades and canceled vacations. The German government is aiming to reduce emissions in the transport sector by almost 42% by 2030 compared to 1990 levels.

The plane model handbag costs nearly 900 million VND by the Louis Vuitton brand This airplane-shaped handbag is designed by Virgil Abloh, the fashion arts director for men of Louis Vuitton, a famous luxury brand. The bag is part of this year’s men’s collection, but most notably, the price. It is known that a handbag in this model plane costs 39,000 USD, equivalent to about 900 million VND. It is not clear how convenient the bag is with the sophisticated design like this real plane, but it must be a fashion product many fanatics love. Launched in January, Louis Vuitton’s 2021 men’s fashion fall-winter collection has many outstanding ideas. It includes clothing products inspired by famous architectures and landmarks, but what really caught the attention of netizens lately is an airplane-shaped bag. The brand’s signature deep brown handbag and monograms carry the Louis Vuitton logo. The bag has an identical design to the real-life airplane The bag features an identical design to the miniature commercial airliner, complete with a tail, wings and even four engines embossed with the iconic Louis Vuitton logo. Notably, the price of this luxury bag is exorbitant, more than a used Cessna engine aircraft, for sale for $ 32,300, equivalent to more than 745 million. ‘The money to buy the bag you can buy a real used plane and even have enough money to repaint it,’ commented netizens. Cessna aircraft are produced by the US civil aircraft company Cessna, headquartered in Wichita, Kansas. The company specializes in the manufacture of small, often private, civil aircraft using piston engines. Old Cessna planes, which have been in the air for several decades, are no longer polished but are of perfectly good quality to fly. Great income, famous and rich, famous Hollywood stars or top football players are not difficult to buy for themselves expensive planes and many of them choose Cessna aircraft.

“The Air Force had a step back in progress with its supersonic missile program when the first test with a propulsion failed. The B-52H bomber took off on April 5 to launch the prototype AGM-183A, but the test bullet could not complete the launch procedure and was safely hung on the plane until it reached the Edwards base ” . Missile AGM-183A onboard B-52H aircraft. The test was to test the performance of the propulsion engine, as well as the detachability of the supersonic surfacing vehicle after the rocket engine stopped working. The warhead is designed to self-crumble shortly after being separated from the engine, helping to minimize the no-fly zone for ships and aircraft. The US Air Force has conducted seven test flights with the missile model AGM-183A to collect positioning data and flight parameters, test the ability to integrate missiles onto the B-52H launch platform and build procedures. commissioned for the first test shot. The AGM-183A hypersonic missile is also known as the “Aircraft Launched Rapid Reaction Weapon” (ARRW). This is one of the supersonic missile programs being developed for the US Air Force to close the gap in this field with Russian opponents. Especially according to the US Air Force’s statement, the AGM-183A possesses many advantages over the hypersonic missile Kinzhal of the Russian Air Force. The US side said that the parameters on Kinzhal of Russia are equivalent to the AGM-48 Skybolt (developed 60 years ago) of the US and far behind the current AGM-183A. The AGM-183A is superior to the Kh-47M2 Kinzhal in that it does not require the launcher to climb to very high altitudes and maintain Mach 2 as the Kinzhal’s speed and still easily reach design specifications. In particular, according to the US Department of Defense procurement advisor Will Roper, the AGM-183A has an impressive speed when it can reach a maximum of nearly Mach 20. It can be seen that the AGM-183A has a much faster speed than the Kinzhal when the Russian missile reaches just above Mach 10. Although not yet launched, but with the aforementioned parameters, the AGM-183A deserves to be considered a rival to Russia’s supersonic weapons today. But for the AGM-183A to enter service, it may take the Americans a long time. Meanwhile, Russia is ready to equip Kinzhal after successive trials of the weapon.

The Russian Ministry of Defense on April 16 released a video of a MiG-31 interceptor deployed to monitor and escort a US Air Force RC-135 strategic aircraft reconnaissance as it approached airspace. Russia in the Kamchatka region.

In the video, the MiG-31 flies at a fairly high speed, passing the nose of the RC-135 at a close distance. “After the foreign military aircraft turned to leave, the Russian fighters have returned to a safe base,” the Russian Ministry of Defense added.

The Russian side has said it will “not allow” any violation of the border to occur. The time of the encounter is unknown, but almost a week ago, on April 10, the Russian side also deployed a MiG-31 to chase away US RC-135 aircraft operating near the Russian border. Pacific.

The incident comes in the context of an escalating tensions between Russia and the US following rhetoric, as well as the West’s criticism of Moscow to increase its forces to press Ukraine.

The MiG-31, designated by NATO as Foxhound, has been in service with the Soviet army since 1982, seven years after its maiden flight in 1975. Despite its relatively high age, the MiG-31 is still a battle. fastest match in the world when reaching a maximum speed of Mach 2.83, about 3,000 km / h.

The MiG-31 is currently in service with the Russian Air Force and the Kazakh Air Force. This is the first fighter in the world equipped with a passive electronically scanned array radar (PESA), allowing 24 targets to be tracked and 6 targets simultaneously.

According to Sputnik, a squadron of four MiG-31s ​​can manage 800km2 of airspace, suitable for the vast Russian airspace. The MiG-31 is also an aircraft modified by Moscow to be equipped with the Kinzhal supersonic attack missile.

NW 2501 before the disaster and Captain Lind.

1. The story begins on Friday night, June 23, 1950 at La Guardia Airport, New York, USA. The weather was warm when 55 passengers, including 27 women, 22 men and 6 children, boarded a DC-4 4-turboprop aircraft, number 2501 of Northwest Airlines, from New York to Seattle (state Washington). Estimated flight time is 6 hours at 660km / h.

At 19:30, the 2501 took off. The captain of this flight is Robert C. Lind, the first co-pilot is Verne F. Wolfe, both 35 years old, and the third and last person in the crew is flight attendant Bonnie Ann Feldman, 25 years old. .

Passing Cleveland, Ohio, the 2501 continues to fly to Minneapolis, Minnesota at 3,000 meters. As she prepared to approach the city airspace of Battle Creek, Michigan at 22:41, the Chicago Air Traffic Control Center ordered Captain Lind to lower the altitude to 2,500m to avoid another plane flying in the direction. opposite.

At 11:36, the 2501 reached Lake Michigan. Upon receiving news from the Chicago Air Traffic Control Center that a storm was forming on the lake, Captain Lind asked to lower the altitude to 1,500 meters but was rejected because at such a height, the plane could will not stand the gust of wind.

At 11:51 p.m., the 2501 entered the fringes of a storm that was growing stronger. Captain Lind reported via radio that the plane would arrive in Milwaukee before 0:30 a.m. on June 24. About 10 minutes later, Lind once again asked to lower the altitude to 1,000m but did not give specific reason. The Chicago Air Traffic Control Center’s answer was still: “No way!”

That was Captain Lind’s last contact with the ground. On the other side of Lake Michigan, the Milwaukee Air Traffic Control Station, after waiting until 1 in the morning, still did not see the 2501 radio signal to New York, Minneapolis and Chicago. Immediately, the Civil Aviation Administration’s radio stations attempted to communicate with 2501 on all frequencies but to no avail. Flight 2501 is missing!

2.5:30 a.m. on Saturday, June 24, the US Civil Aviation Administration officially announced the complete loss of contact with the 2501. They also said that the amount of fuel on the plane was completely exhausted by that time so it could no longer fly, and issued an emergency search order to the navy, the coast guard and the state police from Illinois to Michigan, Wisconsin and Indiana. Thirteen hours later, at 6:30 p.m. on Saturday, the Coast Guard ship commanded by Captain Woodbine saw an oil slick and some debris allegedly from a 2501, floating on the surface of Lake Michigan. At 5:30 a.m. on Sunday, June 25, the sonar machine of the US Navy ship led by Captain Daniel Joy was near the oil spill, and found some objects that reflected very strong sonar waves. However, scuba diving conducted by a naval clone showed that it was not the wreck of the plane, but that of a shipwreck.

Also on Sunday, the Coast Guard fleet consisting of four ships led by Woodbine, Mackinaw, Hollyhock and Frederick Lee recovered many floating debris, including fuel tank fragments, seat pads, clothing pieces. , blankets, luggage and some parts of the corpse but not a single piece of debris was large enough to confirm it fell from the 2501. Investigators speculate that the 2501 exploded in the sky because of their followers. The aircraft twisted when it fell into a gust of wind, causing a spark to burn the fuel tank. Prosecutor Berrien Louis Kerlikowski and US Coast Guard officials said: “It must be a terrible explosion to tear the passenger body in an unimaginable way.” However, residents of Lake Michigan said that on the night of June 23 and 24, they heard no explosions except for the testimony of a retired naval lieutenant, RT Helm.

According to Mr. Helm, he saw an airplane passing through his house at 12:20 a.m. and then a flash of light accompanied by a terrifying explosion. However, compared to Captain Lind’s last contact at 0:01 when he requested to lower the altitude to 1,000 meters and the speed of the plane, by 0: 20 minutes, the 2501 had passed out of Lake Michigan and is in Milwaukee airspace. The divers’ search during the following days was also fruitless, partly because the bottom of Lake Michogan was muddy, and the visibility was limited. In addition, many of the large objects detected by the sonar are not those of the 2501.

In July, a local fisherman, Wallace Chambers, pulled the net onto a small, distorted piece of metal. Analysis of the US Civil Aviation Commission led to suspicion that this piece of metal belonged to the 2501, but during World War II, the US military used more than 3,000 DC-4s and by the end of the war, nearly 600 the aircraft became a civil aircraft with identical construction, so the wreckage recovered by Wallace Chambers said nothing.

Six months after the disappearance of Flight 2501, after thoroughly analyzing all the collected specimens, the US Civil Aviation Commission officially concluded this was a “catastrophe without any cause”.

From there, over time, the incident sank into oblivion until science invented advanced detectors, which could restore the model of the seabed, river, lake, with all the details in on the bottom the search for the 2501 begins to restart.

The US military transport aircraft C-130H Hercules

In order to strengthen the air force, the Polish Ministry of Defense announced that the country’s air force will receive five US Lockheed C-130H Hercules military transport aircraft and accompanying technical equipment.

An agreement between the US and Polish governments for the supply of five C-130H aircraft was signed on April 12, 2021.

This deal is delivered through a special partnership program. All five aircraft will be delivered to Poland this month.

The contract is worth $ 60 million, but Poland will pay only $ 14.3 million to the US side. With this money, it will not be enough for the Pentagon to maintain the annual maintenance, maintenance, repair, and replenishment of equipment, so the US military has considered the possibility of early handover to Poland. to reduce costs.

Currently, all five of these aircraft have been stored at the facilities of preservation group No. 309, on the payroll of the US Air Force located at Davis Montana Air Base in Arizona.

The US military transport aircraft C-130H Hercules

The C-130H aircraft that the United States intended to deliver to Poland were produced in 1985 and the US Air Force closed in 2017.

Poland chose 5 out of 20 proposed. The first Hercules will arrive in Poland in late 2021 and the last will be delivered in 2024.

C-130 Hercules aircraft has 4 propeller engines, wingspan of 40 m, length more than 29 m, height of nearly 12 m, can fly in all weather conditions, maximum flight speed is 370 km /H.

The Polish Air Force uses the aircraft, for missions such as military transport, paratroop deployment, reconnaissance, maritime patrol, aerial refueling and combat.

The C-130H Hercules aircraft will replace four C-130E aircraft operating in the Polish air force since the 1970s.

As soon as he took a flight from Wales to Australia, Brian Robson quickly realized he had made a big mistake when he emigrated to the other side of the world.

Unfortunately, the 19-year-old does not have the money to cover the costs of the immigration plan nor can he afford a plane ticket to return home. Realizing he had not many options, Robson came up with a plan to pack himself in a box and send it home by air.

Now, more than 50 years after his risky journey, Robson once again tells his story hoping to help him find two old friends to help him pack and send them back to the UK.

“The last time I spoke to John and Paul was when one of the men knocked on the barrel asking if I was okay. When I say okay, they wish me luck and hope to see each other again soon, ”Robson told CNN Travel.

Spectacular idea

A year before deciding to pack himself back home, Robson was a bus assistant in Wales. He found another job at the Victorian Railways railway company – the main railway operator in Victoria (Australia) at that time.

Immediately after his 19th birthday, Robson bought a plane ticket to Australia in the hope of changing his life. However, when he came to Melbourne and took a job, Robson found that the living conditions here were too big and decided to return home. He worked for a railway company for about 6-7 months, then changed to work as a paper mill worker.

Despite wanting to return to his homeland, Robson had financial difficulties, when the Australian government asked him to reimburse the support fee that brought him here just as he needed money to fly home.

“Costs fall from about $ 960 to over $ 1,000. But every week I only earn 41 USD. That’s not possible, ”Robson calculated.

Robson met two friends John and Paul while on his way back to the inn. The three quickly became close. When they went to a trade show, they saw a booth from UK-based shipping company Pickfords with the ad: “We can deliver anything, anywhere.” .

That advertisement gave Robson the idea of ​​risking. The very next day, Robson went to the office of Qantas Airlines in Melbourne to find out the process of sending a package abroad. He carefully notes the size and weight of the allowed package, as well as the required documents and shipping fees.

After having enough information, Robson returned to the inn and discussed with the two friends. They take at least a month to prepare everything. All three bought a wooden box with dimensions of 76 x 66 x 96 cm to ensure the inside of the box has enough room to hold both Robson and suitcase.

Robson brought a pillow, a flashlight, a water bottle, a urine bottle and a small hammer to open the box when he arrived in London. All three also rehearsed once before officially suing Robson sent back to England.

The journey is full of pain

“The first 10 minutes of being in the box is pretty good. But my knees started to tighten when pressed against my chest, ”Robson recalls. The parcel with Robson was loaded onto the plane just hours after he arrived at the airport.

Robson’s first British journey to the UK was a 90-minute flight from Melbourne to Sydney. However, Robson was in great pain.

When the package arrived in Sydney, the staff members put it upside down on the runway. “I was upside down on my neck and head during the 22 hours in transit,” Robson describes.

Due to running out of cargo space on Qantas to London, Robson’s cargo had to board another plane to Los Angeles (USA) and the journey was extended.

“This flight takes about 5 days. I couldn’t take any more pain and couldn’t breathe normally. I fell asleep and lost consciousness, ”said Robson, trapped in the shadow of a box and struggling with pain and hallucinations. “There was a time when I felt like I was going to die. I just want everything to happen quickly ”.

When the plane landed at its final destination, Robson waited until night to use his hammer to remove the nails from the box and escape. However, his plan was not flawed because two people working at the airport discovered light from inside the cargo box.

“Those people must be amazed. Someone kept screaming, someone was here. I cannot answer. I could neither speak nor move, ”Robson realized he was in America because of the voices of the other two employees.

After confirming that the people in the cargo box were alive and not posing any threat, the airport staff rushed Robson to the hospital. The guy takes at least 6 days in the hospital to recover.

Although Robson came to the US illegally, he did not face any charges. Robson was even arranged to fly to London in the first class seat.

The media hunted as soon as Robson arrived at London airport on May 18, 1965. Robson said his family felt very happy when his son returned but they were not satisfied with what he did.

In the days that followed, Robson haunted his time in the box and guilt over his two friends. Robson never thought of the case that if he died on that trip, his two friends would face criminal charges.

Now, as a 76-year-old man, Robson wants to see his two friends again and apologize to them.

In 1971, a man who claimed to be Dan Cooper stole a passenger plane from Oregon to Seattle, USA. In Seattle, he agreed to release 36 passengers in exchange for a cash amount of $ 200,000. After receiving the money, he asked the crew for the plane to take off south and then suddenly parachute with all the ransom money. Since then, no one has seen this man again, according New York Times.

After 45 years, in 2016, the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) decided not to pursue the search for Cooper anymore. Until now, his whereabouts are still a big question.

Nobody knows who Cooper really is or someone who does, but refuses to speak. The FBI describes Cooper as an “information-free” object. At the time of the daring robbery, he seemed to be over 40 years old. If yes and now Cooper is still alive, then he is over 90 years old. In the media, he is often referred to as “DB Cooper”.

On November 24, 1971, “Dan Cooper” approached the Northwest Orient Airlines ticketing counter in Portland, Oregon, wearing a business suit and carrying a suitcase. The man paid for a one-way ticket on a flight numbered 305 to Seattle and this was the beginning of “one of the biggest unknown disappearances in the history of the FBI.”

Cooper was described by witnesses as a “quiet” man. He ordered a glass of bourbon and soda while he waited for the plane to take off. When the plane was in the air, after three o’clock in the afternoon, from seat 18C, he handed the flight attendant a small piece of paper saying he had a bomb in his suitcase. The hostess takes note of his request, 4 sets of parachutes and $ 200,000 in cash including $ 20 dollars, and then passes it to the captain.

In Seattle, Cooper releases passengers for money and parachutes. When the exchange ended, he made the crew take off again, heading for Mexico City. Cooper also ordered the aircraft not to fly more than 10,000 feet (3,048m).

After 8:00 pm, while the plane was somewhere between Seattle and Reno, he suddenly jumped off the tail of the plane with the ransom in a wooded area and disappeared. All that’s left is just his tie with a clip.

The mission to life of “Dan Cooper” is the subject of lucrative exploitation of American popular culture. It is so dramatic that it has become a source of writing inspiration for many authors, directors and composers. But unanswered questions must be patched up by guesswork.

In 1980, a boy found a rotten $ 20 bank on the Columbia River worth $ 5,800 matching the ransom serial number assigned to Cooper by the authorities. If measured in terms of inflation, the ransom of $ 200,000 in 1971 would be equivalent to about $ 1.2 million today. It is not clear what happened with the remaining money.

The FBI said it interviewed hundreds of people, followed countless leads across the country, and scrutinized the plane for evidence. Five years after the robbery, the FBI examined 800 suspects. Like newspaper New York Times reported in 2011, FBI files on the case to more than 12 meters long, cataloging more than 1,000 suspects.

At one point the FBI believed that the jump killed Cooper. At that time, snow covered the mountains in the area, which was unfavorable for any skydiving, especially at night. It was a cold night, the clothes Cooper wore was not warm enough and since then, no notes of money given to Cooper have been circulated by the authorities.

One of the suspects questioned is Richard Floyd McCoy. He committed a similar robbery and also escaped with even five months after Cooper’s flight. But McCoy was identified as not Cooper for not matching the descriptions provided by the flight attendant and for other undisclosed reasons.

The plane robbery carried out by DB Cooper is a prime example of the beginning of the era of hijacking. By the mid-1970s, at least 150 aircraft had been robbed in the US alone.

The FBI said that even if it no longer pursues the investigation, “countless items” that it has collected over the years will still be preserved for historic purposes at the agency’s headquarters. Residents can still contact the FBI if there are specific leads.
