Date of presentation: 26 July 2021
Subject: Aerospace Potpourri
Description: A different kind of change of pace this time - instead of doing one longer presentation that covered a single subject in some depth and ended with Jeff waking up his audience, this month's presentation was a series of shorter subjects that got no more than a slide or two each, with these subjects being centered around aerospace-related news and happenings in the world.
The slides presented were entitled:
* US Airports face jet fuel shortage (several causes)
* Jet fuel from food waste? (new technologies)
* Mexico works to recover U.S. air safety rating
* UAE: So Many Int'l Airports = why? (separate Emirates)
* TESS Mission in second phase (extended mission, two slides)
* New material can reduce noise (very light aerogel)
* Plane hits wall because captain's seat failed (kicked levers)
* Israeli carriers launch Morocco routes (part of full diplomatic relations)
* Plane evacuated after teenager sends picture of airgun to other passengers
* Passengers behaving badly... (several examples)
* ... are rarely prosecuted (difficulties with enforcement)
