AirCar (V5) is the latest generation flying car that transforms from road vehicle into air vehicle in less than 3-minutes. The fifth generation flying car designed by Professor Stefan Klein completed two 1500 foot AGL pattrn flights at Piestany airport in Slovakia this week. The model safely achieved two full airport patterns, including two takeoffs and landings. The two-seat model weighs 1,100kg and can carry an additional load of 200kg per flight. Powered by a BMW 1.6L engine, the car-plane has

ANN E-I-C Note: OK… serious apologies for dragging this out… but things are crazy here… we’ve hired some new people, we’re training aggressively, we have a stunning number of new clients, and business is… well, busy. I’ve been editing parts Four and Five and already have the final edit of Part Six underway. We take these reports VERY seriously… and based on some of the drivel I see (especially on YouTube) that tries to pass itself off as a so-called flight report or evaluation, we may be one of the few left, who do.

Aero Linx: The Mid-Atlantic Aviation Coalition (MAAC) The Mid-Atlantic Aviation Coalition (MAAC) was established in 1988, focusing on the interests of those who have strong concerns about the future of aviation. Members include pilots, airport owner/operators, flight instructors, aircraft owners, flying clubs, flight schools and FBO’s, balloonists, glider pilots, skydiving schools and aviation educators. Our mission is to keep the freedom of general aviation alive, well and growing in our communities. We approach the concerns of our members by looking at aviation policy, aviation education, aviation safety and aviation technology.

Waypoint A predetermined geographical position used for route/instrument approach definition, progress reports, published VFR routes, visual reporting points or points for transitioning and/or circumnavigating controlled and/or special use airspace, that is defined relative to a VORTAC station or in terms of latitude/longitude coordinates.

"What makes this task unique is that we're doing work at all levels of the antenna, from the pedestal at ground level all the way up to the feedcones at the center of the dish that extend above the rim. This test communication with Voyager 2 definitely tells us that things are on track with the work we're doing." Source: Brad Arnold, the DSN project manager at NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab in Southern California, discussing why, on Oct. 29, mission operators sent a series of commands to NASA's Voyager 2 spacecraft for the first time since mid-March. The spacecraft has been flying solo while the 70-meter-wide (230-foot-wide) radio antenna used to talk to it has been offline for repairs and upgrades. Voyager 2 returned a signal confirming it had
