By January 1966, ministers dealing with the defence review were offered three choices first, phase out carriers in 1969/70 second, allow existing carriers to remain in service and lay down a new one to come into service in 1972 and, third (Healey s suggested compromise), allow existing carriers to continue in service for the full length of their useful life, until about the mid-1970s, but not lay down a new one. As Trend pointed out to Wilson, the future of the carriers was crucial to the shape of Britain s forces in the Far East, and there were two reasons why it might be better to delay a final decision. First, as the Ministry of Defence admitted, the system for the operation of land-based aircraft in place of carriers was unproven second, the need for an independent strike force in the Far East could only be determined after discussions...

Jet-propulsion fuel 8 (JP-8) is a kerosene-based multipurpose fuel that is in wide use by the U.S. military. The military is in the process of converting to JP-8 for use in all its aircraft (except Navy ship-based aircraft, which will continue to use JP-5), ground vehicles, and support equipment, such as generators, cooking stoves, and tent heaters (Makris 1994 Edwards et al. 2001). 

For ocean spills, remote sensing data can provide information on the rate and direction of oil movement through multi-temporal imaging and input to drift prediction modelling. Remote sensing of the sea surface can be performed from groimd based, aircraft and space home sensors. 

Fokker Bond Tester. An ultrasonic inspection technique commonly used for aircraft structures is based on ultrasonic spectroscopy [2]. Commercially available instruments (bond testers) used for this test operate on the principle of mechanical resonance in a multi-layer structure. A piezoelectric probe shown in Figure 3b, excited by a variable frequency sine signal is placed on the surface of the inspected structure. A frequency spectrum in the range of some tens of kHz to several MHz is acquired by the instrument, see Figure 3a. 

We have presented a neural network based spectrum classifier (NSC) aimed at ultrasonic resonance spectroscopy. The ultrasonic spectroscopy and the NSC has been evaluated in many industrial applications, such as concrete inspection, testing of aerospace composite structures, ball bearings, and aircraft multi-layer structures. The latter application has been presented in some detail. 

One obvious disadvantage with both the approaches mentioned above is that the attenuation measurements are based on through-transmission, TT, testing which means that we need access to both sides of the specimen and this cannot be guaranteed for many of the complex geometries found, e.g., in the aircraft industry. 

It is used in certain nickel-based alloys, such as the "Hastelloys(R)" which are heat-resistant and corrosion-resistant to chemical solutions. Molybdenum oxidizes at elevated temperatures. The metal has found recent application as electrodes for electrically heated glass furnaces and foreheaths. The metal is also used in nuclear energy applications and for missile and aircraft parts. Molybdenum is valuable as a catalyst in the refining of petroleum. It has found applications as a filament material in electronic and electrical applications. Molybdenum is an... 

Other forms of carbon-carbon composites have been or are being developed for space shutde leading edges, nuclear fuel containers for sateUites, aircraft engine adjustable exhaust nozzles, and the main stmcture for the proposed National Aerospace plane (34). For reusable appHcations, a siHcon carbide [409-21 -2] based coating is added to retard oxidation (35,36), with a boron [7440-42-8] h Lsed sublayer to seal any cracks that may form in the coating. 

Flame-Retardant Treatments For Wool. Although wool is regarded as a naturally flame-resistant fiber, for certain appHcations, such as use in aircraft, it is necessary to meet more stringent requirements. The Zirpro process, developed for this purpose (122,123), is based on the exhaustion of negatively charged zirconium and titanium complexes on wool fiber under acidic conditions. Specific agents used for this purpose are potassium hexafluoro zirconate [16923-95-8] [16923-95-8] K ZrF, and potassium hexafluoro titanate [16919-27-0], K TiF. Various modifications of this process have been... 

Dibasic acid esters and polyol esters are used as the bases in all aircraft jet-engine lubricants. They also are employed in aircraft greases that are subjected to wide temperature ranges. 

The newer open-ceU foams, based on polyimides (qv), polyben2imida2oles, polypyrones, polyureas, polyphenylquinoxalines, and phenoHc resins (qv), produce less smoke, are more fire resistant and can be used at higher temperatures. These materials are more expensive and used only for special appHcations including aircraft and marine vessels. Rigid poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) foams are available in small quantities mainly for use in composite panels and piping appHcations (see Elame retardants Heat-RESISTANTPOLYA rs). 

For a three-axis system, three triangles in mutually perpendicular planes may be used. For navigational purposes, the output of the laser gyroscope may be integrated to determine the heading of an aircraft. Laser-based navigation systems have been in use on commercial and military aircraft since the early 1980s.
