Men toys, that might cross on our mind when we mention something related to planes or aeromodelling. Lets find out for a moment where does the interest comes from. When we were kids, I don’t know for sure, since when, but parents often give present related to machine such as planes, cars to boys. And giving dolls to girls.
Not to mention, the attraction became bigger, when we were first introduced to origami in school, or arts of folding papers into certain objects. And the most easiest and playable object is plane. And when we see planes in the sky, its just feel we want to fly it like a bird. It might be the reason that interest us to aeromodelling.

Could Technology End Airline Delays?
Are you a fed up air traveler? You’re not alone. Delays and cancellations seem to have become the rule this year, but there is a better way. Technology and free markets could vastly improve air travel, if politicians will allow them to work.
It’s become popular to blame air travel woes on deregulation, just as California pundits and politicos are blaming a freer energy market for rising electric bills. In both cases, competition and free markets are unjustly taking the fall in public commentary. California eliminated some restrictions on the sale of electricity. But state government and the Feds continue to regulate energy production, while environmental groups block the creation of new power plants, which makes it difficult and costly to generate electricity. If it costs a lot to generate power, you can only squeeze so much savings out of new marketing rules.

High Fuel Prices in Airline Industry is Causing Technology Innovation Advances
The goal of a business or corporation is to make a profit and to do so they must perform a desired service or make a needed or desired product that the customer or consumer is willing to impart a unit of trade for; a dollar or many dollars you see? When fuel prices go up in the transportation sector business must find ways to pass on these costs and streamline their operations to do more, carry more, more efficiently.
This subject came up recently when someone asked a moderator of an online think tank to explain. Here is the question; “Can we expect to see improvements in airline travel in regards to cost change or fuel-surcharges?”

2009 Airline IT Trends Survey: Technology developments
Passengers using their mobile phones to check-in may be fairly thin on the ground today, but airlines are forecasting that people using this service will increase fivefold in the next three years and are gearing up to rapidly accelerate the availability of a whole range of mobile facilities, including check-in, to help their customers self-process their journey.
The growth and popularity of web and mobile services look set to overshadow kiosks as a check-in channel – indeed airlines in some regions that have yet to implement kiosks may simply leapfrog this evolutionary stage. However there is plenty of life left in the kiosk as a self-service channel, with an increasing number of airlines looking to evolve it further to provide other self-processing tools.

Thou Shalt Not Set the Parking Brake Prior to Landing
I have to admit I always wondered what would happen if you landed with the parking brake on. I guess now I know. You’ve got to give the guy some credit for keeping the aircraft under control. I wonder if this is covered under Embraer’s warranty.
