This is an update on the debate over NASA’s human spaceflight mission, including statements made before President Obama’s April 15 speech at Kennedy Space Center as well as statements made since then.

This blog entry won’t review budgets and plans for
• robotic missions to Mars or the moon,
• new satellites for earth science, or
• NASA’s continuing role in the development of next-generation concepts in aviation & its inftrastructure.
These parts of NASA’s mission have not caused disagreement about their priority or cost.
We at AeroInnovate are especially encouraged by NASA’s investment in Next-Generation innovation for GA.

The debate is about human spaceflight, its long range goals, its short range targets and the proper allocation of funds for sending astronauts to the ISS, a return to the moon and trips to Mars and its moons.

Human space flight is what captures the imaginations of citizens across the globe. Progress here is the metric of successful accomplishment of lofty space goals—or failure of leadership. It is THE measure of success or failure in the new multinational spaceflight contest.

Who is speaking in the public debate? Politicians, especially those in Washington have been most voc...Read More

The SmartFish Project is a coalition of European designers and aviation/aerospace firms. Included are:

Extra (world leader in aerobatic aircraft) for system integration and test flights, Leichtwerk for interpretation statics and dynamics, LTB Borowski for composite manufacturing, Liebherr Aerospace for Landing Gear System development, DLR (German Aerospace Center) for flutter analysis and inlet optimization, RUAG Aerospace for wind tunnel testing, and EPFL, the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (they did a great job for Alinghi) for overall design optimization. (Thanks to Mike Elgan who featured the SmartFish on aviationblog.com earlier this year).

One of the project leaders (board member) is Claude Nicollier who has been for nearly 30 years a European Space Agency (ESA) astronaut of Swiss nationality. He was a member of the first group of ESA as...Read More

Sonex Aircraft LLC’s Sonex, Waiex and Xenos aircraft kits are the first to receive official FAA National Kit Evaluation Team (NKET) checklist acceptance and publication under the newly revised rules governing experimental/amateur-built aircraft.

Sonex Aircraft invited the FAA’s newly formed National Kit Evaluation Team to use Sonex, Waiex and Xenos kits for their practice evaluation exercises, making Sonex Aircraft a natural choice for the NKET’s first official evaluations to follow.

As of March 31, the Sonex, Waiex and Xenos are the first amateur-built kits to be accepted by the FAA under Advisory Circular AC 20-27G, FAA Order 8130.2F, and FAA Order 8130.35.

NKET evaluation bolsters the pre-existing, grandfathered evaluations of Sonex Aircraft kits. It also updates the acceptance to include the latest Pre-Assembled Main Wing Spar and Machined Angle Component kit upgrades offered by Sonex Aircraft.

In addition, Sonex Aircraft customers can use NK...Read More
