"J-Track 3-D. It should appear in its own window and begin loading a database of hundreds of satellites. What you will see is a plot in 3-dimensions showing the position of these satellites."

If you're sensitive to G forces, aka gravity forces, think twice before going up in a glider and asking the pilot if he knows any tricks. "

"The Kennedy Space Center is located on the east coast of Florida approximately midway between Jacksonville and Miami and is located about 35 miles east of Orlando International Airport in Brevard County, Florida. It is 55 km (34 miles) long and around 10 km (6 miles) wide, covering 567 km² (219 square miles). "

"Boeing Sonic Cruiser is a new aircraft that is being built by Boeing Commercial Airplanes. Boeing is aiming to develop a design that will allow commercial passenger and cargo aircraft to fly faster, higher and farther travel. The airplane will travel at Mach 0.95 or faster. It is estimated that it will save about one hour for every 3,000 miles flown. The only commercial aircraft to travel faster is the Concorde."

"EAA Technical Counselors are experienced airplane builders, restorers, and mechanics who volunteer their time to visit other EAA members who are in the process of building or restoring their own aircraft. The goal of the Technical Counselor Program is to help EAA members present a "zero defect" aircraft at its final inspection by the FAA."

"RV kits include all the parts needed to build a complete airframe. The builder must provide the engine, propeller, instruments, avionics and upholstery. All RV kits have been reviewed by the FAA and have been found eligible for licensing in the Experimental Amateur Built category. This means that the fabrication work we do on the kit parts is less than 50% of the total required to complete the aircraft, and that at least 51% of the work remains for the kit builder."

"The Air Camper was designed to be built of spruce and plywood. One of Pietenpol's goals was to create a plane that was affordable and easy to construct for home builders. Building an Air Camper requires basic woodworking skills and tools. Builders also need to fabricate some metal fittings to attach the wooden parts together. Some welding is required. The plans for the Pietenpol Aircamper were originally published in a four part serial in the "Flying and Glider" Manual of 1932-33"

"While not as large as the deHavilland Beaver, the Murphy Moose is often compared to the Beaver and for many, the Moose is a viable alternative to the expensive Beaver. It is powered by a nine cylinder Russian M-14P radial engine that is supercharged and produces 360 hp. Models are available with a Lycoming in-line six cylinder engine that produces 260 hp. The Murphy Moose seats six people. "

"FEATURED CRAFTSMAN! 2011 Craftsman of the Decade, Louis Chenot Visit Lou's page, which is linked from the Model Engineering Masterpieces section to see superb models featuring a running 1/6 scale 1932 SJ Duesenberg in miniature. Lou was presented with his $2000 award at the NAMES Expo in Detroit April 30th, 2011. He and his wife, June visited the Craftsmanship Museum in Carlsbad, CA on September 2, 2011 to display and discuss the model for local visitors. It was the last time the engine will be run before being reinstalled in the car. Video of the special event has been posted HERE."

not much related to aviation and aerospace but the engineering and technologies are amazing

open online math homework system (MyOpenMath.com) that David and other community college faculty have developed for faculty and students to use with open textbooks. For math teachers, a free and open textbook is great, but they can be hard to find, and hard to adopt if you're used to having publisher-provided online homework
