  • Karina Drees: Taking the Controls at Mojave Space Port
    SCG-547 September 10, 2018 GREG AUTRY LAJU OBASAJU Karina Drees: Taking the Controls At Mojave Space Port n January 8, 2016, Stuart “Stu” Witt found himself sitting in the office at the Mojave Air and Space Port, where he had worked as the company’s CEO for the past 14 years, the second to serve in that I position. After a tenure filled with successes and an occasional controversy, Witt was ready to hand over the reins to his successor. Inside the conference recently renamed in Witt’s honor by the airport’s board of directors, a large crowd of people was waiting to celebrate his impending retirement, including Virgin Galactic CEO George Whitesides, XPRIZE Chairman Peter Diamandis, Congressman Kevin McCarthy and Witt’s chosen successor as CEO – Karina Drees. Looking around his office filled with mementos of his careers as a fighter pilot, test pilot, entrepreneur and business executive, Witt could not help but reflect on the unique legacy he would be leaving behind at Mojave, familiar to pilots by its call letters “MHV” (for photographs of the Mojave Air & Space Port see Exhibit 1). From an obscure special district airfield, Witt had transformed Mojave into the first inland space port—the home to over 60 companies engaged in flight development, including Virgin Galactic, Stratolaunch Systems, Interorbital Systems and XCOR Aerospace. Witt’s tenure had seen the number of employees at the facility skyrocket from 400 to 2500. However, as he looked out at the runway from his office window, it was the future of the Air and Space Port that concerned Witt.

Early models suffered from catastrophic metal fatigue and the aircraft was redesigned. The Comet 4 series subsequently enjoyed a long and productive career of over 30 years. The Hawker Siddeley Nimrod, the military derivative of the Comet airliner, is still in service. In 2007, the original decades-old airframes were being rebuilt with new wings and engines to produce the Nimrod MRA 4, expected to serve with Britain's Royal Air Force until the 2020s, more than 70 years after the Comet's first flight. file:///C|/Documents and Settings/Jose/Escritorio/De_Havilland_Comet.htm (1 de 17)21/04/2007 17:42:06 de Havilland Comet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Contents [hide] [hide] ● 1 Design and development ❍ 1.1 Technical description ● 2 Operational history ❍ 2.1 Early accidents and incidents ❍ 2.2 Comet disasters of 1954 ● 3 Variants ❍ 3.1 Comet 1 ❍ 3.2 Comet 2 ❍ 3.3 Comet 3 ❍ 3.4 Comet 4 ❍ 3.5 Comet 5 design ❍ 3.6 Hawker Siddeley Nimrod ● 4 Production and service summary ● 5 Preserved aircraft ● 6 Operators ❍ 6.1 Civilian operators ❍ 6.2 Military operators ● 7 Specifications (Comet 4) ● 8 References ● 9 External links ● 10 Related content [edit] Design and development During the Second World War, the Brabazon Committee studied Britain's postwar airliner needs.

  • Wright Brothers, Aviation Pioneers, Modern Aviation, Air Power and Space
    Introduction As part of the commemoration of the Centennial of Flight, the National Park Service's National Register of Historic Places and Regional Offices, in partnership with Dayton Aviation Heritage National Historical Park, United States Air Force, U.S. Centennial of Flight Commission and the National Conference of State Historic Preservation Officers (NCSHPO), proudly invite you to explore Aviation: From Sand Dunes to Sonic Booms. Much of America’s 20th-century history is inextricably linked to aviation. America's rise to preeminence in aviation was accomplished through the astonishing achievements of men and women in both the public and private sectors. The pioneers of America’s aviation industry built the technological and industrial infrastructure that enabled aviation to succeed, while the exploits of daring flying heroes captured the public imagination and encouraged the support of aviation. The Federal government supported the development of military aviation, conducted important aeronautical research, and established, regulated, and encouraged the development of interstate passenger, postal, and freight commerce. In celebration of a century of flight, this travel itinerary highlights more than 100 listings in the National Register of Historic Places--historic aircraft, airfields, research and testing facilities, aeronautical and engineering research laboratories, military installations, battle sites, launch and control facilities--that tell the stories of the significant people and events that made the United States the world’s leader in aviation. The American public had a fascination with aviation throughout the 20th century. Aerial combat in the First World War established heroes such as Lt. Edward Rickenbacker, "Ace of Aces" and winner of the Congressional Medal of Honor.
