Carrier command 2 cruise missile5/30/2023 ![]() ![]() Each launcher would be equipped with 8 JASSM-sized cruise missiles, for a total of 152 missiles per aircraft – nearly the loadout of an Ohio-class SSGN. Much like the current work being done by Israel Aerospace Industry (IAI) to convert 777-300ERs to their Special Freighter configuration, a 777-300ER converted to the CMCA configuration with an MPRL-compatible side cargo door would allow for a line of 10 rotary launchers, two wide, minus a one-MPRL gap space, for a sum total of 19 launchers per aircraft. The two-engine long-fuselage 777-300ER is the leading candidate for a robust and cost-effective modern CMCA for low-threat standoff-range missile launching. All have a fuselage diameter that allows for an internal racetrack for rotary launchers and can accommodate two launchers side by side. bomber designs and would need minimal modifications beyond those required to turn the aircraft into a specialized freighter and equipping it with modern military communications gear. Thus, a more relevant aircraft/launcher combination is needed.Ĭonveniently, a large number of wide-body commercial aircraft are starting to hit the used aircraft market, especially 777-300s, 747-400Fs, and even a few relatively new 747-8Fs, all at a fraction of their original cost. Additionally, there is much more of a need to launch smaller and more numerous tactical weapons from a shorter (180 inch-long) conventional weapon rotary launcher like the Multi-Purpose Rotary Launcher (MPRL) than there is to launch larger nuclear-tipped missiles from the much longer (265 inch-long) Common Strategic Rotary Launcher used in the earlier 747-200 CMCA. However, in today’s world, the 747-200 has largely been removed from service worldwide. While not selected for production, the innovative concept showed an early way forward for a cost-effective “arsenal aircraft.” Unlike dedicated bombers, the 747 CMCA could blend in with commercial air traffic and leverage the 747’s robust international commercial logistics network for lower-cost operations while also bringing a robust secondary cargo-carrying capability. Loaded through the hinged nose door, the rotary launchers circled around an internal racetrack, ejecting missiles out of a new mission-specific door in the rear starboard side of the cargo deck before moving out of the way and making room for a new rotary launcher. Each launcher carried eight AGM-86 Air-Launched Cruise Missiles (ALCMs) for a total of 72 ALCMs per aircraft. The 747 CMCA had a freighter-like configuration and was equipped with nine internal rotary launchers. ![]() ![]() In the late 1970s, after President Carter canceled the B-1A bomber, Boeing offered a cruise missile-launching 747-200C known as the Cruise Missile Carrier Aircraft – CMCA. ![]() For the Navy, these retiring platforms represent approximately half of the VLS cells in the current fleet inventory.Ī concept from the past offers a unique, cost-effective opportunity to help mitigate these losses. While the impact of the loss of these platforms is being mitigated to some extent by new construction of smaller and less capable Block 3 Arleigh Burke-class DDGs, Constitution-class guided-missile frigates (FFG-62s), and stretched Virginia-class nuclear-powered fast attack submarines (SSN-774s), it is nonetheless numerically profound in the near term. Navy is facing a looming crisis with the approaching retirement of 22 Ticonderoga-class guided-missile cruisers (CG-47s) with 122 Vertical Launch System (VLS) cells, 28 Block 1 and 2 Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyers (DDG-51s) with 96 cells, and four Ohio-class nuclear-powered guided-missile submarines (SSGN-726s) with 154 cells each. Air Force recently completed the retirement of 17 B-1B bombers, equipped with three rotary launchers, each capable of carrying eight Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile (JASSM) cruise missiles. military is being forced to retire large-capacity strike platforms. Air Force are dealing with a critical weakness the looming retirement of a large percentage of their most capable conventional missile-launching strike platforms. As China continues to produce ships, missiles, and other weapons systems at rates unseen in the West since the end of the Cold War, the U.S. Today, the United States and its allies face a Chinese adversary growing in military and economic power. ![]()

Bumble backtrack5/30/2023 ![]() ![]() In April 2018, Bumble added an option to sign up using only a phone number, following Facebook's involvement in a controversy with Cambridge Analytica. Operation įormerly, Bumble users were required to log in via Facebook when signing up. Starting from April 2022, Bumble users who report abuse are eligible for a collection of free courses from Bloom, an online provider of support for assault survivors. ![]() This was the company's first acquisition. In February 2022, Bumble announced it had acquired Fruitz - a French-owned freemium dating app popular with Gen Z and used across Europe. Bumble was listed on the Nasdaq exchange, with shares initially valued at $43 but increasing to $76 on its opening day, valuing the company at more than $13 billion. In February 2021, Bumble raised $2.2 billion through its IPO and the company had a valuation of over $7 billion. As of 2020, Bumble has over 100 million users worldwide. In 2020, MagicLab was renamed Bumble as the parent company of both Bumble and Badoo. In April 2019, Bumble launched its own lifestyle magazine called Bumble Mag. Bumble and its sister apps earned $162 million in net revenue for 2018. When private equity firm The Blackstone Group purchased a majority stake in Bumble's parent company MagicLab, Bumble and its sister apps were valued at $3 billion. The company was valued at more than $1 billion in November 2017. In October 2017, the company launched Bumble Bizz which also uses a woman-first interface. In August 2017, Bumble partnered with the Anti-Defamation League in an effort to remove users who display hate symbols in their profiles. In March 2017, the company announced its plan to launch a career networking app, Bumble Bizz. In June 2016, Bumble announced a partnership with Spotify that would allow users to connect a Spotify account to their profile to show their music interests. After switching into the mode, the app replaces potential dates with people of the user's same sex who are also looking for friends. In March 2016, Bumble released BFF mode as a way for users to find platonic friends. The company headquarters are in Austin, Texas and as of 2021 had 650 employees globally. Bumble was launched three months later in December 2014. After the partnership was established, the pair recruited fellow Tinder departees Chris Gulczynski and Sarah Mick to design the interface and help launch Bumble. As part of the agreement, the new company would also utilize Badoo's infrastructure and Andreev's consulting. Andreev suggested she get back into the dating space, and the pair eventually formed a partnership in which Andreev would receive 79% ownership in the company following an initial investment of $10 million along with additional investments and Wolfe Herd would serve as founder, CEO and 20% owner. Amidst the media attention surrounding the lawsuit, acquaintance and Badoo founder and CEO Andrey Andreev contacted Wolfe Herd via email, and the two met up. Wolfe Herd sued Tinder for sexual discrimination and harassment and settled for just over $1 million in September 2014. Whitney Wolfe Herd, an early VP of Marketing of Tinder, founded Bumble shortly after leaving Tinder. According to Forbes, by 2017 the company was valued at more than $1 billion, and the company reported having over 55 million users in 150 countries as of 2019. According to a June 2016 survey, 46.2% of its users are female. As of January 2021, with a monthly user base of 42 million, Bumble is the second-most popular dating app in the U.S. Wolfe Herd has described Bumble as a "feminist dating app". The app is a product of Bumble Inc.īumble was founded by Whitney Wolfe Herd shortly after she left Tinder. In heterosexual matches, only female users can make the first contact with matched male users, while in homosexual matches either person can send a message first. Profiles of potential matches are displayed to users, who can "swipe left" to reject a candidate or "swipe right" to indicate interest. ![]()

Sydney new years fireworks hd 20175/29/2023 ![]() Rocket shells and packaging make up around 60 to 75 percent of a firework, and usually consist of cardboard, wood, clay and plastic. After the fun is over, component parts and packaging are left behind, often scattered on the street, in gardens, in water and on roofs. ![]() The passion for fireworks on New Year's Eve doesn't only leave a trace of toxic dust. "Considering that every German contributes around 25 grams of CO2 through fireworks, but as much as 33,000 grams of CO2 through driving and heating, New Year's Eve hardly matters," he said. Rain can also have an effect.Ĭhemist Klein-Sommer also pointed out that although the concentration of particulate matter on New Year's Eve is much higher, levels are usually quick to drop back to normal on January 2. Strong wind, for instance, helps disperse the pollution rather quickly. The UBA highlighted the difference a windy day can make in a comparison between New Year's celebrations in 20. The amount of time particulate matter remains in the air after a fireworks display depends on several factors. Nevertheless, health experts have advised against directly inhaling the smoke left after a fireworks display, with research often showing that it can cause respiratory problems and aggravate asthma. In the past, people used potassium carbonate to fertilize and protect crops from frost damage. That's something completely different in terms of chemistry," Keller said.įor instance, when black powder burns, potassium carbonate remains - basically a white salt. "In fireworks, on the contrary, particulate matter consists mainly of salts. Most of the particulate matter released from diesel vehicles, for example, consists of sooty carcinogenic particles, which have a negative effect on soil and plants - and human health. The fireworks industry, for its part, continues to maintain that it's not as bad as it seems. Fritz Keller, an environmental consultant with the German Association of the Pyrotechnic Industry (VPI), said particulate pollution from the traffic sector can't be lumped together with the pollution caused by fireworks. Read more: UNICEF: Contaminated air threatens millions of babies The tiny dust particles are invisible to the naked eye, and the UBA has warned these small particles are particularly harmful to health. Most of this fine toxic dust is produced in the span of one or two hours during New Year's Eve fireworks displays, especially in large built-up areas such as cities. This amount corresponds to about 17 percent of the annual vehicle particulate emissions. ![]() In 2016, fireworks produced 5,000 tons of particulate matter (PM10 - particles measuring less than 10 microns in diameter) in Germany alone, according to the Federal Environment Agency (UBA). LudwigĪll of these chemicals require high amounts of energy to be produced, only to fizzle out in a few short seconds, critics have argued. These end up coloring the fireworks blue, green or red. "Each rocket consists of about 75 percent potassium nitrate, 15 percent charcoal and 10 percent sulfur," said Günter Klein-Sommer, a chemist and pyrotechnist, speaking at a recent lecture on the chemistry of pyrotechnics at the University of Cologne.ĭepending on the desired effects, other components might be added, including copper, barium or strontium compounds. Germans, for instance, send €100 to 200 million ($240 million) up in smoke every New Year's Eve, as spectacular fireworks displays light up the sky above villages and cities across the country.īut the annual tradition also has an environmental cost, with each rocket releasing a toxic mix of chemicals and particulates into the air. ![]()

Aerospace flight control system market5/29/2023 ![]() With sustained demand for air cargo tied to expanding e-commerce and air freight's speed and reliability, the CMO projects the global freighter fleet in 2040 will be 70% larger than the pre-pandemic fleet. In a significant area of growth, projected demand has increased for dedicated freighters, including new and converted models. Boeing's 20-year commercial forecast through 2040 projects demand for more than 43,500 new airplanes valued at $7.2 trillion, an increase of about 500 planes over last year's forecast. Within the Boeing Market Outlook, the CMO projects 10-year global demand for 19,000 commercial airplanes valued at $3.2 trillion. Demand for domestic air travel is leading the recovery, with intra-regional markets expected to follow as health and travel restrictions ease, followed by long-haul travel's return to pre-pandemic levels by 2023 to 2024. The new Commercial Market Outlook (CMO) reflects that the global market is recovering largely as Boeing projected in 2020. "We are encouraged by the fact that scientists have delivered vaccines more rapidly than imaginable and that passengers are demonstrating strong confidence in airplane travel." "As our industry recovers and continues to adapt to meet new global needs, we remain confident in long-term growth for aerospace," said Boeing Chief Strategy Officer Marc Allen. ![]() ![]() The forecast is up from $8.5 trillion a year ago, and up from $8.7 trillion in the pre-pandemic 2019 forecast, reflecting the market's continued recovery progress. The BMO projects a $9 trillion market over the next decade for aerospace products and services that Boeing addresses. The 2021 Boeing Market Outlook (BMO) – Boeing's analysis of long-term market dynamics – states that commercial airplanes and services are showing signs of recovery, while the global defense, space and government services markets have remained stable. 14, 2021 / PRNewswire/ - Boeing today released its annual forecast for the commercial, defense and space aerospace market, reflecting signs of the industry's recovery following the impacts of COVID-19. ![]()
