We constantly seek to create better ways to move the world and the day we stop innovating is the day we might as well throw in the towel. Back in early 1991 when I was CEO, we were busy assessing the options for our next business aircraft. We already had the Challenger, our mid-range jet, and the Learjet, our smallest one, but we were thinking bigger, longer and most luxurious. It was a daunting challenge. When our then-Vice President of Engineering, John Holding, informed us that stretching the Challenger was not a viable alternative, I rephrased the problem in the positive. I said, “Stop telling me what can’t be done. If you had carte blanche, unlimited resources and infinite imagination, what would you do?” I told John that whatever kind of corporate Global Express Bombardier Inc. jet he designed, it had to be a step change not Business Aircraft, 1993 just an improvement over existing planes. I wanted a business aircraft capable of meeting the challenges of the 21st century, Laurent Beaudoin, CEO, which meant non-stop flights between city- Bombardier Inc. pairs such as New York-Tokyo and London- 1993, Global Express launch year.

This marked a Global Express at $1 billion, it temporarily turning point for our company and the birth took the wind out of my sails. At the time, of the Global Express-a state-of-the art plane Bombardier just didn’t have the means that redefined long-range business jet travel to invest $1 billion in R&D. We knew we and remains the Bombardier achievement of had to find another way and that’s exactly which I am most proud. what we did.

  • Isolated and Confined Environments
    17 Isolated and Confined Environments Carole Tafforin Ethospace, Toulouse, France Characteristics of space analogue environments with regard to human per- formance concern the crew adaptation in a socio-psychological context and in a temporal dynamics. Isolation, confinement and time are major features on Earth to reproduce an extra-terrestrial environment for manned mission simulations. In the current space missions (low Earth orbit, LEO) and in the perspective of interplanetary missions (near-Earth asteroid, Moon, Mars), men and women will have to adapt to social constraints (crew size, multinationality, mixed-gender) and spatial restrictions (volume, multi-chambers, life-support) on short-term, medium-term and long-term durations. The crewmembers also will have to perform intra-vehicular activities (IVA)and extra-vehicular activ- ities (EVA). For training, preventing and optimizing such tasks, simulations of living and working together in isolated and confined environments, and simulations of operating with a space suit on geological surfaces are the new requirements. During the two decades (1991–2011), space simulators (confinement) and analogue settings (isolation) were adequately developed on Earth with the ultimate goal of walking on Mars. Time periods extended up to 500 days. Space analogue environments are located worldwide (Canada, United States, Russia, Europe, Antarctica and Arctic). Mission durations in space analogue environments cover days, weeks and years. Isolation and confinement facilities implemented for such simulations are listed in Table 17.1. Over a 7-day duration, the Canadian Astronaut Program Space Unit Life Simulation (CAPSULS) was an Earth-based initiative that simulated a typical space shuttle or space station mission [1]. CAPSULS provided the Canadian astronaut participants with space mission training.

The first mission started in 2013. HI-SEAS mission IV included six crew-members, three male and three female. The mission began on 28 August 2015 and was scheduled to run for a year. HI-SEAS V began on January 19th, 2017 and is scheduled for 8 months. Research conducted during the missions includes research into food preparation and preferences, behavior, crew dynamics, group performance and other relevant issues for future missions to Mars and beyond, as well as our study on habitability. This paper introduces the continuing ‘HI-SEAS Habitability Study’, which systematically investigates the relationship between the built environment (habitat) and its inhabitants. The term habitability describes the physical suitability and subjective value of a built habitat for its inhabitants within a specific environment. Along with human factors, habitability is critical for the design of an inhabited confined and isolated environment and thus the well-being of the inhabitants. The study uses a mix of methodologies for data collection, including monthly questionnaires during the mission and post mission interviews.

  • Canadian Official Historians and the Writing of the World Wars Tim Cook
    Canadian Official Historians and the Writing of the World Wars Tim Cook BA Hons (Trent), War Studies (RMC) This thesis is submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Humanities and Social Sciences UNSW@ADFA 2005 Acknowledgements Sir Winston Churchill described the act of writing a book as to surviving a long and debilitating illness. As with all illnesses, the afflicted are forced to rely heavily on many to see them through their suffering. Thanks must go to my joint supervisors, Dr. Jeffrey Grey and Dr. Steve Harris. Dr. Grey agreed to supervise the thesis having only met me briefly at a conference. With the unenviable task of working with a student more than 10,000 kilometres away, he was harassed by far too many lengthy emails emanating from Canada. He allowed me to carve out the thesis topic and research with little constraints, but eventually reined me in and helped tighten and cut down the thesis to an acceptable length. Closer to home, Dr. Harris has offered significant support over several years, leading back to my first book, to which he provided careful editorial and historical advice. He has supported a host of other historians over the last two decades, and is the finest public historian working in Canada. His expertise at balancing the trials of writing official history and managing ongoing crises at the Directorate of History and Heritage are a model for other historians in public institutions, and he took this dissertation on as one more burden. I am a far better historian for having known him.

Lake,. J.M. Serafin and A., Mozes Research Branch, Canadian Transport Commission INTRODUCTION In 1981 the Air Transport Committee and the 'Research Branch of the Canadian Transport Commission on a joint basis, and in conjunction with the major Canadian airlines, (who formed a Task Force) undertook a programme of studies concerning airline pricing and financial performance. This paper is based on a CTC Working Paper' which presented current data on the topic, and interpreted them in the context of the financial and regulatory circumstances faced by the airlines as of July 1984. ECONOMIC PERSPECTIVE The trends illustrated in Figure 1 suggest that air trans- portation may have reached the stage of a mature industry with air . travel/transport no longer accounting for an increasing proportion of economic activity. This mile/stone in the industry's life cycle, if in fact it has been reached, would suggest that an apparent fall in the income elasticity of demand for air travel between 1981 and 1983 could persist. As data reflecting the apparent demand re- surgence of 1984 become available, the picture may change, but 1 LAKE Figure 2 Figure 1 AIR FARE INDICES AIR TRANSPORT REVENUE AS A PERCENT OF GROSS NATIONAL PRODUCT 1.90 1.20.. 1.80. 1.70 - 1.10 -, 1.60. ..... 1.50. .. 8 .: . 1.40 -, r,.

    Memorial to Vladimir Joseph Okulitch 1906-1995 W ALTER W. N A SSICH UK Geological Survey o f Canada, 3303 - 33rd Street N. W., Calgary, Alberta T2L 2A7, Canada Vladimir J. Okulitch died of a heart attack in Calgary on August 31, 1995, in his 90th year. Thus, Canada and the world of science lost an extraordinary geologist, teacher, astronomer, and university administrator. I lost my first teacher in paleontology and a longtime friend. Vladimir was focused on geology, but his interests extended beyond the earth to all the stars in the universe. He was a naturalist in the true sense, and for decades he observed and pho­ tographed the changing earth, its rocks, rivers, mountains, and all living things. Photography was a passion all his life, and his work was exhibited at amateur and profes­ sional shows throughout North America. Above all, Vladimir was a warm and gentle humanist with an easy ability to laugh, and he was beloved as a teacher and an administrator. Not surprisingly, he had a holistic view of the evolving earth and all its life forms. He stressed the need to understand the interdependence of geology, astronomy, physics, chemistry, and biology in the resolution of earth science problems. He beamed with enthusiasm when he taught paleontology, and it always seemed clear to students that the study of life on earth, past and present, was special in his heart. Vladimir Okulitch was bom on June 18, 1906, in St. Petersburg, Russia. His schooling in St. Petersburg was rigorous in the classical style, and each school day classes in languages, mathematics, the sciences, and history were followed by tutorials in every subject.

  • George Donald Hobson (1923–2015)
    ARCTIC VOL. 69, NO. 1 (MARCH 2016) P. 114 – 115 http://dx.doi.org/10.14430/arctic4549 GEORGE DONALD HOBSON (1923–2015) It’s been a hell of an interesting life. You’ve got the whole gamut of science in an area that’s just so darned interesting. (George Hobson on his affinity to the Arctic, quoted in Foster and Marino, 1986: back cover) This quote encapsulates the man that was George Hobson: bluff, engaged, and captivated by the North. As head of the Polar Continental Shelf Project (PCSP) in the 1970s and 1980s, George was a virtual gatekeeper of the Arctic for innumerable researchers and visitors, enabling many of them to experience the Arctic for the first time. He left his mark in the Arctic as few others have done. George was born in Hamilton, Ontario, on 8 January 1923, the son of Robert and Agnes Hobson. He attended Delta Collegiate and McMaster University (BSc in Math- ematics and Physics) in Hamilton. He enrolled in the first master’s-level geophysics course at the University of Toronto in 1946 and was awarded an MSc in Petroleum Geophysics in 1948. After graduation, George married Arletta (Arlie) Russell and moved to Edmonton, where he began his geophysics career with Heiland Exploration Canada Ltd. For 10 years George shuttled between seis- mic exploration in the northern Alberta bush and manage- ment positions, eventually becoming chief geophysicist at Merrill Petroleum Ltd. in Calgary. In 1958, George left the private sector for the federal public service, joining the Geological Survey of Canada in George Hobson at age 69 (Photo: Andreas Cordsen).
