battlefield role. The helicopter would be called upon to undertake various missions including that of SAR, MEDEVAC, observation, transport, reconnaissance, escort, Close Air Support (CAS) and direct attack. (p.1) During the Korean War, our internal rotary-winged aviation assets were performing duties in a very limited role. Although used extensively and often, the majority of missions that took place were either lift oriented, medical evacuation and in some cases reconnaissance. The helicopter most suited

Regarding Lockheed Martin and specifically the Sikorsky sector, these are the people who develop and create the military helicopters to be sold for a profit. Sikorsky wants its employees to be more than satisfied; happy employees will maintain or even hopefully increase productivity and efficiency in the workplace driving more sales and generating more revenue. The employees
vertical take-off aircraft. When he returned to the United States, Weygers joined Marian in Los Angeles, where he wound up working for Northrop Aviation before moving to Carmel Valley. The helicopter was just being developed and Weygers was attracted to the project. Instinctively Weygers realized that helicopters were highly vulnerable. They had ungainly boxlike shapes and their exposed rotors were clearly a weak
Drones Essay Drones are incredible new devices that can be used for so many different; these flying vehicles are not controlled by other navigational software embedded in the drone or by a pilot on the ground controlling the aircraft by way of remote control (whatis). From delivery and recreation to recording video footage of battlefields and disaster zones, drones can be incredibly diverse in purpose allowing them to be used for both nonessential and serious purposes, including in the military
The Effectiveness of Drone Technology Drone technology is a fairly new topic in today’s world. Their use is widely disputed all over the world, but most of what we hear is about how bad they are. Provided that there are some regulations added to their use by the public, drones could prove to be a very useful asset in many fields. Drones can be used for the transportation of information, homeland security (such as border security and disaster assistance), and help the U.S. in wars and conflicts so
Drones are beneficial, but there is always a negative side to every situation, even for the simple use of using drones as transportation. The action of drones is more affordable than the existing soldiers and military machinery. However, the drones are violating the international humanitarian law around the world, and yet the United States still intends to sustain their intentions.

Being a part of the Hawaii Air Ambulance team allows one to be the best pilot they could be in a field whose purpose is saving lives. To be an Emergency Response helicopter pilot requires an extensive amount of skills, certifications and experience. One must have good concentration
Are You Safer Without a Pilot? System Safety Design in a UAV Construct The Gradual Move from Manned to Unmanned Flight According to James Albaugh, president and CEO of Boeing Commercial Airlines, “A pilotless airliner is going to come; it’s just a question of when. You’ll see it in freighters first, over water probably, landing very close to the shore.” (Ross, 2011, p. 38) The trend toward aircraft without pilots is not new. As technology has improved the number of crew members and their responsibilities
The year was 2026, the time was 5:03 pm, it was 14-year-old, Max Fleisher’s 365th day stranded on a small patch of sand in the pacific. Right about now Max could remember the feeling of his mom rubbing her hands through his luscious, slightly gelled, curly, lengthy blonde hair, then, him staring down his little sister Mel with his piercing green eyes and him telling his father he loved him for the very last time. The miserable day crossed Max’s mind once again, the day he lost his whole family in
My company Acme Airborne Analysis Group has tasked me with assessing the impacts of using a quad rotor UAS to support We Sell Anything real estate's marketing campaign of local lake front property. The technical, legal, and ethical challenges will be analyzed.
