Jet Lagged | Long Distance Flying Adventure

In this episode, we will experience flying on Emirates and US Airways from Calcutta-Dubai-New York-Philadelphia-Cleveland. You'll get a look at the various airports and flying tips of the various aircrafts along with all the sights and sounds of an ultra long distant flight.

 

Long-haul flights are journeys typically made by wide-body aircraft that involve long distances, typically beyond six and a half hours in length - this is ultra long distance flying!

This trip was flown on March 2012.

London Gatwick Airport | Heavy Departures & Specials 19/05/12

Various heavies departing (& a few arriving) on runway 26L at London's Gatwick Airport on 19th May 2012! This day was champions league final in Munich, meaning a huge amount of special flights, many of which heavies, taking fans down to Germany!

 

INCLUDES: Virgin A340-600, Edleweiss A330, Qatar Amiri Flight A340, Thomson (NEW Dreamliner livery) + First Choice livery 767, Vietnam Airlines 777, 2x Emirates 777's, 2x Air Transat A330's, US Airways A330, Thomas Cook A330, Monarch A330 5x Virgin 747's and a shed load of BA 777's!

Note the Vietnam 777 was flying via Paris CDG, hense the very quick rotation, because it was very lightly loaded with fuel. But yeah a fantastic spotting day at Gatwick with so many unexpected special, heavy, rare visitors!
There certainly wont be a day like this again at Gatwick for a while!
Unfortunatly, I was hoping to see the brand new Air Nigeria A330, which now operates daily from Lagos, but it was over 7 hours late, before being

Spotting at the Flying W Airport - March 18, 2012

I hope you all will enjoy this video, as it contains just under an hour of footage shot at the Flying W Airport during a Red Star formation fly-in. I would have had a longer video like Saturday's if I had shot a lot of the airport's Cessnas and some of the other aircraft that were in the pattern in the day but I threw a huge emphasis on the former military trainers, but there are indeed some surprises in the video. Aircraft featured heavily here includes Nanchang CJ6s, Yakovlev Yak-52s (tailwheel and conventional versions), and AT-6/SNJ Texans. Operations took place using Runway 19 the entire day. All video was shot between 11:00 AM and 4:40 PM.

 

I apologize for the black or white blips in the video, as I still have yet to figure out what causes it.

If you are interested in purchasing DVDs of specific aircraft and/or of airshows, interested in anything and everything related to airshows (where the jet teams will show up, all airshow performers, airshow reports from airshows I have attended, previews of airshows I will be attending, etc.), a much more easier to navigate "version" of all of my videos, and/or everything there is related to aviation - including spotting guides to my favorite airports and military bases and aircraft factfiles, please take the time to check out Steve's Airshow World at http://www.stevesairshow.com .

Flying W Airport - Red Star Pilots Association - Yak-52 & CJ-6A Flight

IN THIS VIDEO, watch as I climb into the back seat of a Nanchang CJ-6A for a formation flight over South Jersey. We took off from Flying W's Runway 19 and proceeded towards the southwest, and had absolutely no issues with the weather, as you can see in the video. Take note of when I zoom in on the aircraft and note that the wingmen have FULL CONCENTRATION on a fixed point of lead's airplane. The Red Star Pilots Association held a small gathering at the Flying W Airport to help "scrape off the rust" with formation flying in preparation for the warmer weather, airshow season, and upcoming fly-ins later on in the year, to include a larger formation flyover at EAA Oshkosh this summer.

I would like to thank Carey O'Donnell for arranging this flight and for "DABEAR" for taking me up in his CJ-6A. Tim, as in the other flight video, is flying his gorgeous red Yak-52. I can't remember the full name of the CJ-6A pilot, but can tell you his name is Keith - also another very nice gentleman. The name of the other Yak-52 pilot in this video also escapes me. I would like to send a thank you to ALL of the pilots in attendance that weekend that helped provide me with the opportunities to get video of CJ-6As and Yak-52s that I've always wanted to get - especially video featuring the growl of the Vedeneyev engines in the Yaks and the Zhouzhou engines in the CJ-6As.

Like what you've seen?

Model Based testing of AUTOSAR automotive components

Dr. Thomas Arts QuviQ
Testing AUTOSAR components with traditional software testing techniques turns out to be an expensive undertaking. Traditionally, one manually constructs test cases, but the enormous amount of configuration parameters make it hard to reuse tests written for a specific configuration in a different configuration. The least one needs to do is to inspect the test case and see if it makes sense for the new configuration. With a test suite of ten thousand tests, that's not an easy exercise. Even harder is it to adapt the tests if the configuration parameters require that. On top of the large configuration space, there is the complexity of the almost infinite amount of possible scenarios. How would one manually create a test suite that covers at least a large number of all possible ways components can interact with each other?

Model based testing presents the solution. Instead of manually writing test cases, one creates a test model for the software. From this test model and a given configuration, one can generate millions of tests automatically: exploring a wild variety of possible scenarios. Volvo, Mentor Graphics, SP and Quviq joined in the development of test models for AUTOSAR 4.0 components, including all communication stacks, diagnostics and mode management. These models have been used to validate components from a number of vendors and to detect a number of AUTOSAR ambiguities.

It turns out that creating models is far more cost effective than manually creating test cases, at least a factor ten when using Quviq's QuickCheck approach. The resulting models are more general than any test suite could be and are configuration independent, in the sense that given a certain configuration, test cases for that configuration are generated. Scenarios are randomly generated according to some tool specific logic and whenever a scenario in the software differs from what the model expects, a minimal difference is created. The minimal failing test case is a great help in analyzing why the model and the code are incompatible.

Future Thinking About Dream Cars

The car enabled us to go to distant places that we couldn't reach by foot. But early cars had no safety systems and accidents increased year after year. Over the years, the car's safety has improved along with its structure, and safety-enhancing electronic car technologies (air bags, ABS, 4WS, etc.) are now standard. Future cars will collaborate with their drivers to become even more safe -- through wireless networks and technologies from many other industries. How do we think about the future of transportation?

Dr Alex Moulton - Bugatti Design Lecture

Apologies about the sound, but we simply had to show you this lecture given by Dr Alex Moulton.

Dr. Moulton's professional life has been devoted to the research and development of innovative designs.

He developed The Moulton Bicycle, introduced in 1962, and pioneered small-wheeled, full-suspension thinking which was acknowledged as the most radical change in bicycle design for over 60 years. Over 150,000 were made and they still hold world and national speed records, testimony to their fundamentally advanced design.

He is also responsible for car suspensions from the rubber cone spring on the BMC Mini, to the Hydrolastic Austin 1100 and its successor, the Allegro (in collaboration with Sir Alec Issigonis) and the Hydragas on the Austin Metro, Rover 100 and MGF.

Between them, these systems have been fitted to some 8 million cars.

This lecture covers how his innovations in engineering have gained him a Queens Award, the CBE, 3 honorary doctorates, and have made him an icon for budding engineers.
