AEROSPACE Meet the e-WIG US start-up Regent has revealed its design for a ten-seat all-electric wing-in-ground (WIG) effect vehicle, aimed at high-speed coastal passenger travel. The Seaglider would use distributed electric propulsion and hydrofoils to accelerate to over 45mph, before taking off to fly at low level within a wingspan of the water’s surface to utilise ground effect. Aiming for half the operating costs of traditional aircraft, the company has already taken $465m in provisional orders from existing seaplane and ferry operators.

South Africa's Defence Industry: A Template for Middle Powers? 1 Greg Mills and Martin Edmonds Introduction The South African arms industry employs today around half of its peak of 120,000 in the 1980s. A number of major South African defence producers have been bought out by Western-based companies, while a pending priva tisation process could see the sale of the 'Big Five'2 of the South African industry. This much might be expected of a sector that has its contemporary origins in the apartheid period of enforced isolation and self-sufficiency.

  • The United States Arms Embargo Against South Africa: an Analysis of the Laws, Regulations, and Loopholes
    Comment The United States Arms Embargo Against South Africa: An Analysis of the Laws, Regulations, and Loopholes Raymond Paretzkyt Introduction With reports of violence and unrest in the Republic of South Africa a daily feature in American newspapers, public attention in the United States has increasingly focused on a variety of American efforts to bring an end to apartheid.. Little discussed in the ongoing debate over imposi- tion of new measures is the sanction that the United States has main- tained for the past twenty-three years: the South African arms embargo. How effective has this sanction been in denying South Africa access to items with military utility? Are there ways to strengthen the arms em- bargo so that it achieves greater success? An evaluation of the embargo is complicated by the fact that there is no one place in which the laws implementing it can be found. Rather, the relevant regulations have been incorporated into the existing, com- plex scheme of U.S. trade law. This article offers a complete account of the laws and regulations implementing the embargo, analyzes the defects in the regulatory scheme, and recommends ways to strengthen the em- bargo. The first part outlines the background of the imposition of the embargo, while the next three parts examine the regulations that govern American exports to South Africa and explore the loopholes in these reg- ulations that hinder their effectiveness. Part II discusses items on the t J.D. Candidate, Yale University. 1. Congress recently imposed various sanctions on South Africa. See Comprehensive Anti-Apartheid Act of 1986, Pub.

  • Mtv and Transatlantic Cold War Music Videos
    102 MTV AND TRANSATLANTIC COLD WAR MUSIC VIDEOS WILLIAM M. KNOBLAUCH INTRODUCTION In 1986 Music Television (MTV) premiered “Peace Sells”, the latest video from American metal band Megadeth. In many ways, “Peace Sells” was a standard pro- motional video, full of lip-synching and head-banging. Yet the “Peace Sells” video had political overtones. It featured footage of protestors and police in riot gear; at one point, the camera draws back to reveal a teenager watching “Peace Sells” on MTV. His father enters the room, grabs the remote and exclaims “What is this garbage you’re watching? I want to watch the news.” He changes the channel to footage of U.S. President Ronald Reagan at the 1986 nuclear arms control summit in Reykjavik, Iceland. The son, perturbed, turns to his father, replies “this is the news,” and lips the channel back. Megadeth’s song accelerates, and the video re- turns to riot footage. The song ends by repeatedly asking, “Peace sells, but who’s buying?” It was a prescient question during a 1980s in which Cold War militarism and the nuclear arms race escalated to dangerous new highs.1 In the 1980s, MTV elevated music videos to a new cultural prominence. Of course, most music videos were not political.2 Yet, as “Peace Sells” suggests, dur- ing the 1980s—the decade of Reagan’s “Star Wars” program, the Soviet war in Afghanistan, and a robust nuclear arms race—music videos had the potential to relect political concerns. MTV’s founders, however, were so culturally conserva- tive that many were initially wary of playing African American artists; addition- ally, record labels were hesitant to put their top artists onto this new, risky chan- 1 American President Ronald Reagan had increased peace-time deicit defense spending substantially.

  • In Situ Observations of Cometary Nuclei 211
    Keller et al.: In Situ Observations of Cometary Nuclei 211 In Situ Observations of Cometary Nuclei H. U. Keller Max-Planck-Institut für Aeronomie D. Britt University of Central Florida B. J. Buratti Jet Propulsion Laboratory N. Thomas Max-Planck-Institut für Aeronomie (now at University of Bern) It is only through close spacecraft encounters that cometary nuclei can be resolved and their properties determined with complete confidence. At the time of writing, only two nuclei (those of Comets 1P/Halley and 19P/Borrelly) have been observed, both by rapid flyby missions. The camera systems onboard these missions have revealed single, solid, dark, lumpy, and elongated nuclei. The infrared systems gave surface temperatures well above the free sublimation tempera- ture of water ice and close to blackbody temperatures. The observed nuclei were much more similar than they were different. In both cases, significant topography was evident, possibly reflecting the objects’ sublimation histories. Dust emission was restricted to active regions and jets in the inner comae were prevalent. Active regions may have been slightly brighter than inert areas but the reflectance was still very low. No activity from the nightside was found. In this chapter, the observations are presented and comparisons are made between Comets Halley and Borrelly. A paradigm for the structure of cometary nuclei is also described that implies that the nonvolatile component defines the characteristics of nuclei and that high porosity, large- scale inhomogeneity, and moderate tensile strength are common features. 1. INTRODUCTION It is important to emphasize that prior to the spacecraft encounters with Comet 1P/Halley in 1986, the existence of The nuclei of most comets are too small to be resolved a nucleus was merely inferred from coarse observations.
