ViaSat C-130 Aircraft Hatch-Mount Satellite Antenna for Broadband Ku-band Communications Passes Certification Testing
ViaSat Inc. (Nasdaq:VSAT) has delivered a hatch-mounted Ku-band satcom antenna for C-130 aircraft that has received air worthiness certification from U.S. Air Force authorities at Warner Robbins Air Force Base. The hatch mounted antenna enables configuration of aircraft for 2-way broadband communication access to terrestrial services and the GIG without any permanent modifications. Within minutes, ground crews can configure the aircraft for a specific mission, and then easily return the plane to normal transport configuration when the mission is complete. The newly-certified antenna enables use of an airborne satcom system to access wide area Department of Defense SIPRNet and NIPRNet networks at data rates up to 10 Mbps inbound and 512 kbps...

Global Market for Aircraft, Engines, Parts & Equipment to Reach $172 Billion by 2010, According to a New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.
The speedy recovery in global air traffic since 2004 has set the dais for thriving air transport industry in the forthcoming years. The prospects for air travel and cargo sector have brightened in both developed markets such as Europe and the US, as well as, developing economies including Asia-Pacific and Latin America. The industry, in its both forms- domestic and international, attained new heights in the year, and the sector is projected to grow phenomenally in future. Asian air transport industry led the worldwide market, primarily dictated by booming air traffic in China and India. Middle East, an explicit business class air travel center is a venue with unexplored opportunities for airlines.

New On-Board Aircraft Health Monitoring System Takes Flight on F-15: TRI/Austin, Inc. is Developing a New System That Can Monitor
In 2003, the Army awarded an SBIR Phase II contract for $729,888 to TRI/Austin to develop a diagnostic/prognostic system that could monitor aircraft and rotorcraft structural components in flight. Phase II focused on ruggedizing the system, optimizing performance, reducing power draw, refining the prognostic/diagnostic algorithms and building a system for test. The effort culminated in a successful flight test of the LAHMP system aboard the F-15.

Automotive Paint and Aircraft Repair
After years of painting aircraft with automotive paints I have found that the best lasting paint in my opinion is PPG base coat clear coat. Working with aircraft mechanics on the methods of painting planes, the old generation stressed the use of synthetic paints (pre 1970's era). My first aircraft pain job consisted of using the recommended synthetic paint. I found that later when the aircraft owner involved wanted the color changed on a stripe that it created some recoat nightmares, trying to keep the base color from bubbling up. My next choice of paints was urethanes which looked nice, on sea planes however it held in the corrosion, crating repairs the very next year. When I switched to PPG two part epoxy the paint went on nice and hid corrosion less, making easier recoating with no lifting appearing like the best choice. My fourth trial of paints was PPG base coat clear coat which created a very deep gloss and wet look. This last choice was my favorite and I found that the clear helped hold in the color and the shine for many years compared to the two part epoxy. With all the given benefits the clear coat came away the winner with years of shine. Keith Hiebert was in the automotive and aircraft painting for over twenth years. A pilot, painter, his own plane paint jobs were his best advertizements. Learn more about him at http://www.whoiskeithhiebert.com
