Air India One

 Features of Air India One :

  1. The plane's advance defence systems will call for training of pilots under Indian Air Force instructors. Traditionally, Air India pilots have been flying the Air India One planes.
  2. The planes manufactured at Boeing’s facility in Dallas (USA) are retrofitted with advanced military defence systems and a reconfigured cabin.
  3. The plane will feature twin GE90-115 engines, a variant of the engine made for the -300ER. It can fly at 900kmph.
  4. For the security of the president, PM, vice-president flying in them, the government has opted for state-of-the-art military defence systems to be fitted into those planes.
  5. One of the systems is the Large Aircraft Infrared Countermeasures (LAIRCM) and Self-Protection Suites (SPS)
  6. These systems will protect the aircraft in case of an unfortunate event of it suffering damage in the air. 
  7. The planes cost $190m purchase and were customised only after a nod from the US State department approval due to its military nature.
  8. The planes will feature Advanced Electronic Warfare Suites. This feature enables the plane to not only fend off an attack but also take countermeasures in case of an attack.
  9. The 747-400 which currently serves as Air India One only has retrofitted security measures and otherwise serves commercial flights. 
  10. The new Air India One 777, likely modelled after the USA's own Air Force One, will now be as secure.
This picture is being widely shared by Tweeple as one of the refitted Boeing 777-300s that will be Air Force One

The Boeing 777-300ER that are all set to arrive into India will replace the earlier 747-400 which have served well on the VVIP duties for 25 years last. The country is all set to receive two wide-bodied Boeing 777-300ERs to serve as the new VVIP transport for the President, Vice President and Prime Minister in place of the ageing 747s that have hitherto served as Air India One.

Air India One is not a plane but rather a callsign for any plane with the President, Vice President or Prime Minister on board. some speculate that the new Boeing 777s being fitted with advanced defence systems and Air India likely to be sold off, it is entirely possible that as the 777s will be entirely operated by the IAF the “Air India One” callsign will he retired. This is not confirmed by the government and, at best, remains speculation.

Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System (IRNSS) : NavIC

IRNSS is an independent regional navigation satellite system being developed by India. It is designed to provide accurate position information service to users in India as well as the region extending up to 1500 km from its boundary, which is its primary service area. An Extended Service Area lies between primary service area and area enclosed by the rectangle from Latitude 30 deg South to 50 deg North, Longitude 30 deg East to 130 deg East. IRNSS will provide two types of services, namely, Standard Positioning Service (SPS) which is provided to all the users and Restricted Service (RS), which is an encrypted service provided only to the authorised users. The IRNSS System is expected to provide a position accuracy of better than 20 m in the primary service area. Some applications of IRNSS are: Terrestrial, Aerial and Marine Navigation Disaster Management Vehicle tracking and fleet management Integration with mobile phones Precise Timing Mapping and Geodetic data capture Terrestrial nav

10 Free Website Builders:

  1.  Webnode  – Modern Editor with Some Limitations A short while ago Webnode completely revamped their editor, making it very modern. The themes they added are stylish and responsive. A pity you can’t choose a completely new theme after your initial choice. Working with Webnode is very intuitive and also here (surprise) you have the option of upgrading to a paid plan. Webnode offers a low-cost variant at $3.95 per month (which they fittingly call  Limited ) essentially allowing you to use a domain name you already own and to contact their premium support. The small ad will stay with this option. Unfortunately, there is no ecommerce option in the free plan and also the blog is very basic. 2.  Wix  – The International Heavyweight The biggest of them all is Wix. They have more users than any other site builder and it’s easy to see why. It’s packed with unique features and great templates. According to  our tests , it’s the best choice to create a  paid  site – but what about a free one?

NASA Mars Flight

he helicopter will rise for about six seconds, hover and rotate for about 30 seconds, then go back down. The flight will be autonomous, pre-programmed into the aircraft because of the 15 minutes it takes for signals to travel from Earth to Mars. Ingenuity itself will analyze its position with respect to the Martian surface. After the flight, Ingenuity will send Perseverance technical data on what it has done, and that information will be transmitted back to Earth. This will include a black and white photo of the Martian surface that Ingenuity is programmed to snap while flying. Later, once its batteries have charged up again, Ingenuity is to transmit another photo -- in color, of the Martian horizon, taken with a different camera. But the most spectacular images are supposed to come from the rover Perseverance, which will film the flight from a few meters away. Shortly after this filming, six videos of 2.5 seconds each will be sent to Earth. NASA hopes at least one of them will show th
