A Non-stop Flight To The Future
Since people have appreciated the advantages of air transport, the need for it has constantly been growing. It is mostly true for long distance flights. Experts believe that in the following twenty years the demand for air-transportation will grow more than two times. Airlines have to increase their flying stock. In the result, airports can no... view more... (2002-06-07)

Living close to a flight path may increase the risk of high blood pressure
Being subjected daily to the noise of aircraft flying overhead may be risk factor for high blood pressure, suggests research in Occupational and Environmental Medicine. view more (2001-11-09)
Too little scope for development in today's aircraft technology
New technology can do much to improve certain aspects of aviation in terms of sustainable development over the next fifty years, but this will be nowhere near enough to compensate for the expected growth in air travel. view more (2007-06-27)
Aircraft and radar antenna help test instruments for space mission
The CLRC Chilbolton Observatory in Hampshire has been host to scientists from the UK, France, Germany and the Netherlands who have been testing radar and lidar instruments on board three separate aircraft, together with many ground-based instruments, to test the feasibility for a future European space mission which will gather data from space on... view more...

Aircraft noise associated with children's school performance in maths and reading
Aircraft noise seems to affect children's school performance in maths and reading, but social and economic factors also play their part. Research published in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health examined the National Standardised Scores (SATs) of around 11,000 primary schoolchildren coming up to the age of 11. The SATs test maths,... view more... (2002-01-15)
No fixed flight paths makes for 'quieter' airspace
If pilots, with the aid of a computer and within a certain set of rules, were to determine their own flight routes, the skies would appear quieter to them. Moreover this so-called Free Flight concept offers advantages in efficiency and safety for air traffic. This is the opinion of Ir. Jacco M. Hoekstra, who has researched the possibilities of... view more... (2001-11-02)
Concorde: We can rebuild it!
University of Surrey staff and students are taking part in the rebuilding of Concorde 202. They will be reassembling some key parts of Concorde's engine air intakes on campus over the next few months. The work coincides with the imminent arrival of contractors at Brooklands Museum who will be joining the wings and fuselage back together. The parts... view more... (2004-10-29)
'DREAM' Project To Boost Aerospace Modification Business
A research program carried out by academics from Cranfield University and engineers at Marshall Aerospace, Cambridge, is set to put the company at the forefront of the $23 billion aircraft maintenance, repair, overhaul and modification business. The researchers have developed a computer-based cost-estimating system named 'DREAM' that... view more... (2001-07-19)
Penetrating insights: NIST airframe tests help ensure better shielding for flight instruments
Airline travelers are used to being instructed to turn off computers and cell phones during takeoffs and landings as a precaution against interfering with the plane's navigational equipment, but outside sources of high-energy interference can be even more dangerous. view more (2009-08-27)
Environmental science flies higher and wider
A new and highly modified survey aircraft is the latest tool to help study our environment from the skies. The Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) is to lease a Dornier 228 to replace the Piper Navajo Chieftain that has given valiant service in earth observation for the past 16 years. Because the new aeroplane can fly further and carry... view more... (2000-07-25)
Lords Inquiry calls for evidence on Air Travel and Health
THE AIRCRAFT CABIN ENVIRONMENT: CALL FOR EVIDENCE BY HOUSE OF LORDS SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY SUB-COMMITTEE II The focus of the Inquiry is the relationship between the various aspects of the environments for passengers and crew in commercial aircraft (e.g. air quality, in-cabin noise, cosmic radiation, seating arrangements and the scheduling of... view more...
