Abstract The respective populations of the United States and Texas are expected to significantly increase over to the next several decades, primarily in urban and metropolitan areas. Economists have also predicted that oil prices will rise in real terms during the same period. Air quality is getting worse in a number of metropolitan areas, triggering non-attainment penalties and spurring an interest in cleaner transportation. Incentives and new policies must be adopted to increase the efficiency of the transportation system and thus move freight with a reduced impact on society and the environment. Hybrids can potentially help solve this issue through their increased fuel economy and reduced emissions. This project evaluated a package delivery truck, beverage delivery truck, and a refuse truck.

Why? Because our pensions depend on the decisions of the next generation. Julie Lithgow It’s no secret that we face numerous challenges in attracting, training and retaining the people we need in our industry at sea and ashore, but the solution is more nuanced than simply recruitment and retention. For example, if the European Commission succeeds in expanding the Blue Economy initiative, an increase in jobs could also create a shortage in skills. While external training initiatives are good steps in overcoming the skills gap, our industry needs new ways of attracting smart, talented and ambitious people, including those who are considering a career change. Perhaps our best move is to create a better culture within our Companies must invest in their staff’s learning potential companies for talented people to pursue careers in our sector.

  • NASA Selects 10 Smallsat Missions for Concept Development. DJI: Uavs Should Transmit Identifier for Security. US Army Considerin
    27Mar17 NASA Selects 10 SmallSat Missions For Concept Development. Engadget (3/26) reports that NASA has selected 10 projects proposed under its Planetary Science Deep Space SmallSat Studies (PSDS3) program to receive a total of $3.6 million for concept planning. The projects include two focused on Venus; one to study the elemental composition of the moon; two asteroid missions, including one proposed by Lockheed Martin; one to study Martian moons; another to study Mars’ climate variability; one to study Uranus’ atmosphere; and another to study Jupiter’s magnetosphere. NASA Planetary Science Division Director Jim Green said that the “small but mighty satellites have the potential to enable transformational science.” 28Mar17 DJI: UAVs Should Transmit Identifier For Security. The AP (3/27) reports that in a paper released on Monday, DJI argued that continual transmission of an identification code by unmanned aircraft could help to address governments’ security concerns while safeguarding operators’ privacy. DJI suggested that the system could be developed using existing technology, and an attorney for the company equated the transmitted codes to license plates. Also on Monday, FAA Administrator Michael Huerta announced that the agency will create an advisory committee to make recommendations regarding remote UAV tracking and to facilitate discussions on security between government agencies and the commercial UAV industry. US Army Considering Collapsible UAV Helicopter For Evacuations. Popular Mechanics (3/27) reports that the US Army Medical Research and Materiel Command is studying Dragonfly Pictures’ DP-14 Hawk UAV “as a possible alternative to traditional helicopters for casualty evacuation.” The twin-rotor DP-14, resembling a “miniature CH-47 Chinook,” features a man-sized internal payload bay, collapses to fit inside a utility van, and can be reassembled in 40 minutes.

  • UAS and Smallsat Weekly News Lockheed Locking in First Fury UAV Customer
    UAS and SmallSat Weekly News 1May17 Lockheed Locking In First Fury UAV Customer Apr 26, 2017James Drew | Aerospace Daily & Defense Report NASHVILLE, Tennessee—Lockheed Martin is finalizing the sale of six Fury UAVs to an undisclosed Middle East customer. The company is responding to a sole-source request for proposal for the initial batch of middleweight unmanned aircraft, potentially resulting in the first direct commercial sale of Fury. Lockheed Martin Unmanned Systems San Luis Obispo site director Brendan Rhatigan tells Aviation Week in an April 26 interview that if the sale proceeds, all six aircraft could be built by late October. Lockheed will support training and prepare the system for initial operations, but responsibility for day-to-day use eventually will transition to the new owner. The four test vehicles collectively have logged more than 400 flight hours. “We’ve flown as many hours in the last 8-9 months as in the prior three years,” Rhatigan says. Fury is advertised to fly for 15 hr. carrying a 100-lb. payload. The aircraft demonstrated 12 hr. of endurance during a recent demonstration for the Army at Dugway Proving Ground in Utah. It landed with one hours’ worth of fuel unspent—still 2 hr. short of Lockheed’s endurance goal. http://aviationweek.com/defense/lockheed-locking-first-fury-uav-customer FAA-Commissioned Report: UAVs “Far More Safe” Than Previously Assumed. Digital Trends (4/29) reported that new findings prepared for the FAA conclude that small UAVs are much safer “to operate around people than earlier models had assumed.” According to the report by the Alliance for Safety System of UAS through Research Excellence (ASSURE), today’s UAV’s feature “unique aerodynamic and structural properties that mitigate the force involved in a 1 collision.” Aviation International News (4/28) reported that the “FAA plans to incorporate the findings in a regulation governing flights of small drones over people, which is currently not allowed.” FAA Tests UAV Detection Technologies.

  • Bachelor of Science, Aerospace Engineering Internship Opportunity
    BACHELOR OF SCIENCE, AEROSPACE ENGINEERING INTERNSHIP OPPORTUNITY Natilus Inc. is a startup seeking qualified Aerospace Engineering students to work part time/full time in the development of large cargo carrying UAV’s. Natilus Inc. designs, manufactures, and tests large scale commercial drones. Natilus is a venture backed startup aiming to reduce the cost of shipping cargo worldwide. The qualified candidate will work alongside Natilus team members fabricating composite airframe assemblies and UAV systems. The candidate may also perform preliminary and detail design of composite aircraft structures and systems and perform the build/test of the candidate’s design. Preferred Qualifications Composite aircraft construction experience Powerplant piston/turbine experience CAD design experience (Solidworks, Unigraphics NX, CATIA) Other qualifying experiences that will be taken into consideration: Metal fabrication experience Assembly line experience Automotive body/mechanical repair Boating construction/repair Housing construction experience Private/Instrument/Commercial/CFI/ATP piloting experience NATILUS is the next generation air cargo carrier with organically designed, built, and serviced large capacity long distance Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). The production model of NATILUS drone is designed around a 200,000 lbs payload with a range of over 6500 miles, equivalent to a non-stop flight from the Asian Eastern Seaboard to North America. Amphibious, and about the size of a Boeing 747, the NATILUS drone flies over unoccupied air space and does not utilize existing airport runways for take-off and landing. By taking-off and landing on water, the drone effectively by-passes the classification of an aircraft and thus eliminates the need to be certified or regulated by the FAA, an otherwise costly and time consuming process.
