Sukhoi confirms Su-35 deliveries to Russian Air Force in 2011. MOSCOW, February 19 (Text and photo: RIA Novosti) – Russia’s Sukhoi aircraft maker confirmed on Thursday that the advanced Su-35 Flanker multi-role fighter would enter service with the Russian Air Force in 2011.

Sukhoi confirms Su-35 deliveries to Russian Air Force in 2011

“The current progress of the Su-35 testing program confirms the earlier announced timeframe for the deliveries of the aircraft to Russian and foreign customers in 2011″ the company said in a statement. The first two Su-35 prototypes have successfully conducted 87 flights since July 2008, demonstrating the aircraft’s superior technical and combat characteristics. (Russia’s Su-35 fighter makes first demonstration flight – Image Gallery) Sukhoi is planning to add a Russia’s Su-35 fighter to the testing program in 2009, and boost the current number of test flights to 150-160. It is equipped with a 30-mm cannon with 150 rounds and can carry up to eight tons of combat payload on 12 external mounts. Bienvenue sur Facebook.

Pilot’s G-suit

In situations such as seat ejection, ditching, or parachute opening shock, the short duration of the excessive force has little effect on the body. However, changing the direction of flight produces stress forces equal to several times the normal pull of gravity for much longer periods of time. These longer duration forces can have dangerous effects. At 5 g’s (5 times the force of gravity), the aircrewman’s body is exposed to a force that increases its weight 5 times. This increased weight has many effects. The Navy uses two models of anti-g coveralls (commonly called “G” suits). This increases your stress tolerance an average of about 2 g’s. This protection is available only for sustained accelerations of 4 to 5 seconds.

Iraqi and Lebanese AF Hellfire capability from Caravan aircraft !

Brandon Bolick The Iraqi and Lebanese air forces have been fielded with a few Cessna AC-208Bs “Caravan” – Light ISR (Intelligence-Surveillance-Reconnaissance)/ ground-attack aircraft. In order to perform their missions, they feature an MX-15D camera/laser target designator along with anti-tank AGM-114 Hellfire missiles. Some may be astonished at discovering such combination – a light transport aircraft carrying a high-tech weapon system. However, the “Combat Caravan” flies faster than the Apache AH-64 which is used to launch Hellfire anti-tank missiles.

SR-71 Blackbird

The aircraft, an SR-71A and an SR-71B pilot trainer aircraft were based at NASA’s Dryden Flight Research Center, Edwards, Calif. They have been loaned to NASA by the U.S. Air Force. Developed for the USAF as reconnaissance aircraft more than 30 years ago, SR-71s are still the world’s fastest and highest-flying production aircraft. The aircraft can fly more than 2200 miles per hour (Mach 3+ or more than three times the speed of sound) and at altitudes of over 85,000 feet.

X-29 forward-swept wings

The multi-phased program was conducted from 1984 to 1992 and provided an engineering data base that is available in the design and development of future aircraft. The X-29 almost looked like it was flying backward. Its forward swept wings were mounted well back on the fuselage, while its canards – horizontal stabilizers to control pitch – were in front of the wings instead of on the tail. The complex geometries of the wings and canards combined to provide exceptional maneuverability, supersonic performance, and a light structure. Program History Construction of the X-29′s thin supercritical wing was made possible because of its composite construction.

USAF Surgeon General – “No studies have been done to demonstrate the safety or effectiveness” of e-cigarettes. 8/20/2010 – WASHINGTON (AFNS) — The Air Force surgeon general has issued a memo alerting all Airmen about safety concerns regarding electronic cigarettes, a new type of nicotine product. Also known as “e-cigs,” electronic cigarettes are battery-operated devices that look like conventional cigarettes. The e-cig contains a cartridge filled with nicotine, which is delivered to the user as a vapor. Water vapor is emitted from the end of the device to mimic the appearance of smoke. Recce 233 Savoie: “One may wonder whether the e-cigarettes are effective or not. DEW and FROST. U.S. Air Force photo by Master Sgt.

Heavy snow and weeks of sub-zero temperatures require extra effort from maintenance crews to keep the aircraft clear of ice and snow. The training mission included dropping Army Airborne Soldiers from Fort Richardson, Alaska, and conducting air drops of training bundles that simulate the Soldier’s equipment.

Two Search and Rescue helicopters have been sent from RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus to help battle the massive forest fire which has spread out of control in the north of Israel. According to media reports at least 41 people have died and many people have been injured in what is thought to be Israel's largest forest fire. At least 13,000 people have been evacuated. Aircraft and firefighting crews from across the world have arrived in Israel and are already battling the fire, including the two Griffin Search and Rescue helicopters, equipped for firefighting, from RAF Akrotiri. The RAF already had one helicopter from RAF Akrotiri in Israel as part of a routine Search and Rescue liaison visit. A second helicopter was sent from RAF Akrotiri carrying additional specialist firefighting equipment.

News - World - Canadian Forces on new Kandahar offensive. The Canadian Forces in Afghanistan are part of a new battle offensive in a tactically crucial region in Kandahar province. This is likely the last major offensive by Task Force Kandahar. Operation Baawar, which is Pashto for assurance, will be focusing on a region known as the Horn of Panjwaii, the Forces said. The Taliban lost control of the Panjwaii district during Operation Medusa in 2006 but has since regained influence there.

The U.S. military and the Afghan National Army have secured the area around the Horn of Panjwaii for the past couple of months. Lt. Now, Canadian Forces will move in with the Afghan National Army and support from the U.S. military to secure the entire Horn of Panjwaii, village by village. Canadian soldiers are also leading efforts to build a road that will reconnect this district with the rest of Kandahar province.
