Antony at the Unified Headquarters in Jammu The first issue of SP’s Naval Forces for 2010 coin- cides with the Defexpo being held at Delhi from February 15 to 18. We � �at � �SP � � Guide � � � Publications are proud to state that we are the sole and exclusive publisher for official Modernisation Defexpo Dailies, publishing the show news dailies and the show flyer. The cover story, thus, befittingly is modernisation of the Indian Navy which covers sub surface, surface and the fleet air arm aspects comprehensively. This is followed by an article on Littoral Warfare which is going to effect the future naval operations. US Navy has already com- missioned two ships specially tailor made for such a role and many more are on the anvil. An insight into the Aegis missile system has been given by no less a person than Admiral Robert J. Natter, former US Navy’s Commander of the US Atlantic Fleet and Fleet Forces Command. E-2D Advanced Hawkeye is the navy’s eye in the sky for air defence which can fit very well into the overall air defence environment of any country’s navy thus an overview of the offer from US is included in this issue. The article on naval avi- ation gives a focused glimpse into the future of this very important branch of the navy. The articles on Network Centric Operations, naval UAV’s and naval armament cover the current and future scenario, and options for the Indian Navy. Considering the fact that Photographs: SP SP Photographs: Guide Pubns KAMOV Defexpo 2010 is devoted to the defence industry, it was pertinent to give a rundown on the naval shipbuilding scene in India. In an article on shipbuilders, the writer makes a case for the future blueprint to be built through mergers, consolidation, diversification and exports. It also includes a performance review of the three Indian Navy Upgrade Blueprint shipyards to include current and future ship building plans, balance sheet and plans for modernisation of their infrastructure.

Gulfstream G100 The Israel Aircraft Industries (IAI) Westwind is a business jet that became a cornerstone of the Israeli aircraft manufacturing industry and remained in production for twenty years. Usually set up for seven passengers, it can carry as many as ten, or be quickly reconfigured as a fast air freight aircraft. Development The Westwind was originally designed in the United States by Aero Commander as a development of its twin-propeller namesake aircraft, first flying on 2 January 1963 as the Aero Commander 1121 Jet Commander[1]. It was of broadly conventional business jet arrangement, with two engines mounted in nacelles carried on the rear fuselage. However the wings were mounted halfway up the fuselage instead of the typical low-wing arrangement of aircraft in this class. After successful testing, the aircraft was put into series production with deliveries to customers beginning in early 1965[1]. Shortly thereafter, Aero Commander was acquired by North American Rockwell. The Jet Commander created a problem, since Rockwell already had an executive jet of its own design, the Sabreliner, and could not keep both in production because of anti-trust laws. It was therefore decided to sell off the rights to the Jet Commander, which were purchased by IAI in 1968[1]. Jet Commander production amounted to 150 aircraft in the United States and Israel before IAI undertook a series of modifications to create the 1123 Westwind.

  • Airport Master Plan
    Chapter Two FORECASTS AIRPORT MASTER PLAN The definition of demand that may be reasonably expected to occur during the useful life of an airport’s key components (e.g., runways, taxiways, terminal buildings, etc.) is an important factor in facility plan‐ ning. In airport master planning, this involves projecting aviation activity for at least a 20‐year timeframe. Aviation demand forecasting for the Grand Canyon National Park Airport (GCN or Airport) will consider commercial passenger enplanements (boardings), based aircraft, and aircraft operations. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has oversight responsibility to review and approve aviation forecasts developed in conjunction with airport planning studies. In addition, aviation activity forecasts may be an important input to future benefit‐cost analyses associated with airport development, and the FAA reviews these analyses when federal funding requests are submitted. The FAA will review individual airport forecasts with the objective of comparing them to its Terminal Area Forecasts (TAF) and the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems (NPIAS). Even though the TAF is updated annually, in the past there was almost always a disparity between the TAF and master plan‐ ning forecasts. This was primarily because the TAF forecasts did not consider local conditions or recent trends. In recent years, however, the FAA has improved its forecast model to be a demand‐driven fore‐ cast for aviation services based upon local and national economic conditions, as well as conditions within the aviation industry. DRAFT Chapter Two 2-1 The TAF projections of passenger enplanements and commercial operations at large, medium, and small hub airports are based on a bottom‐up approach.

The researcher In this enexplored field is thus bound to depend largely on first-hand Information from looal sources, and on close observation by long residence in the Dlstrlot, rather than on scattered writings. Cultural contacts and assimilation of western values in the area have naturally restricted folklorlc tendencies. Besides, the doyens of folklore are rapidly passing away. Perhaps there is no other science which faces this dilemma of rapid decline, and in which rescue work which is not at­ tempted at once will never be again practically possible. Much of the material collected here, characterised by its simplicity and vigour, has been recorded for the first time and virtually saved from extinction.
