Berkeley Models put out a kit and hundreds of fledgling R/C’ers learned to love the Astro-Hog's near perfect aerodynamics. Those ageless flight qualities are still perfect today. THIS MAY JUST BE THE ULTIMATE EVERYDAY R/C AIRPLANE. Its thick semi-symmetrical airfoil, gobs of wing area, and light wing loading make it a real workhorse and a pleasure to fly.

  • Co2 Emissions from Commercial Aviation, 2018
    A40-WP/560 International Civil Aviation Organization EX/237 10/9/19 Revision No. 1 WORKING PAPER 20/9/19 (Information paper) English only ASSEMBLY — 40TH SESSION EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE Agenda Item 16: Environmental Protection – International Aviation and Climate Change — Policy and Standardization CO2 EMISSIONS FROM COMMERCIAL AVIATION, 2018 (Presented by the International Coalition for Sustainable Aviation (ICSA)) EXECUTIVE SUMMARY To better understand carbon emissions associated with commercial aviation, this paper develops a bottom-up, global aviation carbon dioxide (CO2) inventory for calendar year 2018. Using historical data from an aviation operations data provider, national governments, international agencies, and aircraft emissions modelling software, this paper details a global, transparent, and geographically allocated CO2 inventory for commercial aviation. Our estimates of total global carbon emissions, and the operations estimated in this study in terms of revenue passenger kilometers (RPKs) and freight tonne kilometers (FTKs), agree well with aggregate industry estimates.

  • Survey of 557 Illinois Voters
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE November 26, 2013 INTERVIEWS: Tom Jensen 919-744-6312 IF YOU HAVE BASIC METHODOLOGICAL QUESTIONS, PLEASE E-MAIL [email protected], OR CONSULT THE FINAL PARAGRAPH OF THE PRESS RELEASE Quinn’s numbers up but still in perilous shape Raleigi h, N.C. – Three years ago, Pat Quinn surprised some by beating Bill Brady for a full term as governor by less than a point in a terrible turnout environment for Democrats and following the impeachment of his predecessor, Rod Blagojevich. To boot, Quinn had a 32-54 approval rating of his own. His numbers since then have only gone down. In PPP’s latest poll, he has a 34-60 approval spread. In the short term, however, Quinn’s numbers are trending slightly upward. A year ago, PPP measured him at 25-64, making him then the least popular governor in the country. His 13-point marginal improvement has coincided with an improving re-election picture. He trailed Dan RuR therford by four points and Kirk Dillard by seven in the previous poll, but he now ties Dillard at 39%, and trails Rutherford by two points, 39-41. Quinn also ties Brady at 41% and leads Bruce Rauner by three (41-38). Stilll, 39-41% of the vote is not a strong position in which to start. Unlike Quinn, Dick Durbin’s 46-40 approval spread is down 11 points on the margin from the 51-34 PPP measured a year ago. But he is in good company. President Obama’s own approval numbers in his home state are only 50-46, still one of his ten best states.

  • CO2 EMISSIONS from COMMERCIAL AVIATION: 2013, 2018, and 2019 Down from Nearly 19% in 2013
    OCTOBER 2020 CO2 EMISSIONS FROM COMMERCIAL AVIATION 2013, 2018, AND 2019 BRANDON GRAVER, PH.D., DAN RUTHERFORD, PH.D., AND SOLA ZHENG ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The authors thank Jennifer Callahan and Dale Hall (ICCT), Tim Johnson (Aviation Environment Federation), and Andrew Murphy (Transport & Environment) for their review. This work was conducted with generous support from the Aspen Global Change Institute. SUPPLEMENTAL DATA Additional country-specific operations and CO2 emissions data for 2013, 2018, and 2019 can be found on the ICCT website. International Council on Clean Transportation 1500 K Street NW, Suite 650, Washington, DC 20005 [email protected] | www.theicct.org | @TheICCT © 2020 International Council on Clean Transportation EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Last year, the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT) developed a bottom-up, global aviation inventory to better understand carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from commercial aviation in 2018. This report updates the operations and emissions analyses for calendar year 2018 based on improved source data, and includes new analyses for 2013 and 2019. In 2013, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) requested its technical experts develop a global CO2 emissions standard for aircraft, and states began to submit voluntary action plans to reduce CO2 emissions from aviation. This paper details a global, transparent, and geographically allocated CO2 inventory for three years of commercial aviation, using operations data from OAG Aviation Worldwide Limited, ICAO, individual airlines, and the Piano aircraft emissions modeling software. Our Global Aviation Carbon Assessment (GACA) model estimated CO2 emissions from global passenger and cargo operations on par with totals reported by industry (Figure ES-1). In all three analyzed years, passenger flights were responsible for approximately 85% of commercial aviation CO2 emissions.

  • Quinn in Deep Trouble, Dems Favor Madigan
    thFOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE November 29, 2012 INTERVIEWS: Tom Jensen 919-744-6312 IF YOU HAVE BASIC METHODOLOGICAL QUESTIONS, PLEASE E-MAIL [email protected], OR CONSULT THE FINAL PARAGRAPH OF THE PRESS RELEASE Quinn in deep trouble, Dems favor Madigan Raleigh, N.C. – Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn enters his re-election cycle as the most unpopular governor that PPP has measured, with only a quarter of his state’s voters approving of his job performance and nearly two-thirds disapproving. He starts out as a slight underdog in hypothetical match-ups against three unknown potential Republican challengers, getting no more than 40% of the vote. Should those candidates become better-known, however, Quinn would probably be in perilous position. Quinn trails State Sen. Kirk Dillard by seven points (37-44), and state Treasurer Dan Rutherford by four (39-43), and leads rising star Congressman Aaron Schock by only a point (40-39). But 61-65% of voters have no opinion of the three would-be governors, so they have more to gain than does the incumbent. Democrats would be best served, at least at this point, by nominating popular state Attorney General Lisa Madigan, of whom 48% have a positive opinion and only 32% a negative one, making her by far the best-liked and the second best-known of six candidates on either side of the aisle, after Quinn. She tops Dillard and Rutherford each by the same nine-point margin (46-37), and Schock by eight (46-38). Doing not much better than Quinn is Bill Daley. He is surprisingly no better-known than the Republicans, but less popular, with a 12-24 favorability spread.
