The CEO of Delta Airlines has some choice words for those who support mandatory Covid-19 tests for both domestic flights and passengers coming into the U.S. Those words are basically “That’s a bad idea.”

The CEO states that this move would harm sales, make foreign customers feel persecuted, and negatively affect the travel industry as a whole. We’ve already seen some evidence of this, as cancellations increased when the policy was announced in January of this year while booking numbers also went down.

Bastian also highlights the fact that testing domestic passengers will require using the country’s already scarce testing resources – his estimates sit at about 10%, which is pretty accurate.

Bastian isn’t the only CEO who doesn’t want to test passengers. The CEO of Southwest Airlines said pretty much all of the same things, only in his case, he wrote them in a letter to President Biden.

These CEOs are strongly against testing domestic flights, as they are sure that testing all of them will be a complete logistical nightmare. Considering the time it takes to administer quality tests, and the possibility for false positives/negatives that currently exists with rapid tests, these fears might not be completely manufactured. There is some cause for concern with utilizing testing resources to come up with results that might not be accurate.

Airline executives are also frustrated that other forms of travel are not being held to these same tough standards. Trains, buses, and other forms of domestic travel aren’t being required to test all of their domestic passengers, despite passengers traveling in similar conditions as on an airline. Tightly packed in rows while seated next to each other provides plenty of risk for contracting Covid-19, so airline executives are wondering why these modes of travel aren’t subject to the same standards.

Finally, the airline industry is frustrated due to the delays that this federal mandate could cause. They are positive that by the time testing resources will be available for all domestic and international flights, months will have gone by. This reduces fairness by preventing passengers on some flights from being able to fly due to a lack of tests, while other flights will be able to move along as scheduled because they had access to testing resources. Until testing resources are universally available, the airline industry remains firmly against these federal testing mandates.

On January 24, 2021, Aaron Benedetti, a Bay Area pilot, received a big surprise from the largest pilot organization in the U.S. The pilot won an airplane over the weekend despite being clueless when he entered Livermore Airport in California. However, he knew a plane was going to be won by any pilot chosen by the organization. Nearly all pilots talked about the plane, including him. Yet, Aaron did not know the plane would be his.

The pilot failed to hide his joy of the unexpected win and stated that he only needed to spend some time in Livermore. Aaron also obliged to have lunch with his good friend and fellow pilot residing in Oregon, who was involved in the trick. He added that it is a unique but excellent gift to use with his wife when they go camping.

Aaron added that he had never won anything before and often considered himself unlucky in buying tickets or winning things. By winning a plane, it seems the pilot has become lucky. The move to check a shiny plane sitting on Livermore Airport’s ramp led him to his luck.

Aircraft Owners and Pilot Association usually holds an annual event where one of its 300,000 members walks away with a plane. According to Mark Baker, AOPA President, Aaron’s plane was the first experimental plane referred to as the R.V 10. He added that the aircraft is relatively fast fuel-efficient, incorporates a modern glass panel, comes with new paint and interior. The plane can also zip around at about 180 miles, making it an excellent aircraft for pilots.

The plan was built in Canada in 2007, but AOPA has made a complete overhaul, hence suitable for Aaron. The pilot knows how to fly as he is a United Airlines Captain on the Dreamliner 787. Baker also stated that with people moving around with automobiles, planes come in useful when they need to fly.

Robert Ragozzino’s aircraft, which looks a lot like the Spirit of St. Louis, finally made its first flight in January 2021. This is great news for Ragozzino who has been working on the Spirit 2 project for a long time and has waited for this win for eighteen years. Speaking to KFOR-TV, the local pilot expressed his joy for having made it that far, stating that the completion of the first flight was incredibly important for him.

As mentioned earlier, Ragozzino’s aircraft, the Spirit 2, is almost an exact match of Charles Lindbergh’s the Spirit of St. Louis. Like the latter, the Spirit 2 is custom-built, as Ragozzino told KFOR-TV that every piece of the airplane was handmade. It also comes with extra fuel tanks.

Even so, there are a few differences between the Spirit of St. Louis and the Spirit 2. To begin with, Ragozzino’s creation has several Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) requirements. One has to operate it like they would a 1920’s Mack truck that lacks the power steering, not to mention that the Spirit 2’s pilot seat is just but a wicker chair that is extremely light.

Ragozzino’s dream is to complete the New York to Paris flight like the Spirit of St. Louis did. He revealed that he has worked together with his team for hours on end to make it happen. It has been challenging and more expensive than any of them had anticipated, but that has not demotivated them.

The Spirit 2’s first flight lasted about fifteen minutes. It was enough to let Ragozzino know which parts he needs to work on to make sure that the aircraft’s flight from New York to Paris will be a success.

Space expeditions are going to be a thing of the near future as oxygen was discovered on Mars. Mars has a thin atmosphere, about one-hundredth of Earth’s atmospheric pressure in comparison. NASA is now working on designing planes that can fly in Martian air. The real trick is designing wings that can hold a plane up in the thin air.

The blades on the planes would have to be bigger and spin faster compared to Earth’s planes. Oliviu Şugar-Gabor and Andreea Koreanschi from the University of Salford in the UK published a study in the year 2020 analyzing possible shapes for an aircraft wing on Mars. The Martian aircraft wing is referred to as an airfoil and allows the plane to travel at a speed close to the speed of light in a thin Martian atmosphere.

The Perseverance mission launched a small helicopter for initial trials at flight in Mars. The ingenious design features a pair of rotors mounted vertically above each other sharing a single axis. The blades are much larger than you would observe here on Earth. The wings would also have to spin much faster to compensate for the low-density, frigid temperatures, and carbon dioxide concentrated atmosphere.

SU2 flow solver software being the most advanced aerodynamics equation solver in NASA was employed by the Perseverance team to study the behavior of fluid around different shapes. This was crucial in determining the perfect shape of an airfoil to fly around the equator of Mars.

This aircraft will, of course, be remotely controlled so that it will be light. The development of a human-crewed aircraft is going to take more time. Innovation in the next few years, combined with the data collected from the initial exploits, will make space exploration more manageable and safer. Scientists will use the mars aircraft to explore mars at high speeds and collect data that might get you on Mars faster than expected.
