Straps , also known as aerial straps , are a type of aerial apparatus on which various feats of strength and flexibility may be performed, often in the context of a circus performance. It is a cotton or nylon web apparatus that looks like two suspended ribbons. Straps are available in various configurations, including those with various types of loops at the ends and those without loops. A straps act usually includes held poses and postures done on the straps, dance moves performed on the floor away from the straps, partner acrobatics done on and off the straps, as well as having the straps pulled up and let down during the act. ref http community.simplycircus.com tutorials aerialaerial arts faq.htm ref The Panteleenko Brothers The discipline of aerial straps was originally a Chinese specialty where athletes would perform intensely muscular tricks up and down the straps. Many of the moves are similar to those of the Aerial Rings. The pioneers of contemporary aerial straps were identical twins Yuri and Valery Panteleenko, known as the Panteleenko Brothers. The brothers started their performance careers as part of a Russian illusionist s magic show. During a show in Rostov On Don in 1969, Vladivien Levshin, the Rubanov Company s acrobatic coach saw their athleticism and potential and began training them to perform what was to become a milestone act in the history of this apparatus. Previously, a straps routine would be performed from a static position, only moving up and down the straps. Levshin introduced swinging, circular, and two person moves. These new elements, not to mention the brothers elegance and resemblance added a new level of grace and beauty to the balletic nature of the apparatus. In 1972 the brothers debuted the act by 1973 they had already won the U.S.S.R. s All Union Circus Competition, at that time considered to be the world s most difficult circus competition ... index.php moe video.html Olesia Iuzhanina http iuzhanina.com Aerial Straps Category Circus skills ... more details

Unreferenced date March 2008 Cleanup rewrite date May 2009 Aerial Observer Air Force Reconnaissance . An Aerial Observer is the functional position of gathering information visually from an airborne platform for use by military or commercial purposes. This history started when the first balloons were flown in Europe. In the early twentieth century it developed with the invention of biplanes and mono winged aircraft. During World War I and II there was a tremendous amount of intelligence gathered through these means. These crewmembers would use optical and photographic means to record their observations. In the Vietnam War , aerial observers also might be Forward Air Controller s FACs . These O 1 Bird Dog , O 2 Skymaster and OV 10 Bronco pilots would slowly fly over an area and direct bombing by radio to fast moving jet aircraft. Observer is the Royal Navy s term for its Fleet Air Arm navigator radar weapons system operators, both in two seat fixed wing combat aircraft such as the Sea Vixen and F 4 Phantom II F4K Phantom and anti submarine helicopters such as the Westland Lynx . The US Navy s equivalent is the radar intercept officer RIO . Although today sometimes a manned aircraft is still utilized, industry and the military use both satellites and remotely piloted vehicles RPV for this function.

As aerial cranes, helicopters carry loads connected to long cables or slings in order to place heavy equipment when other methods are not available or economically feasible, or when the job must be accomplished in remote or inaccessible areas, such as the tops of tall buildings or the top of a hill or mountain, far from the nearest road. Helicopters were first used as aerial cranes in the 1950s, but it was not until the 1960s that the popularity of the use of skycranes in the construction and other industries began to catch on. The most consistent use of helicopters as aerial cranes is in the logging industry to lift large trees out of rugged terrain where vehicles aren t able to reach, or where environmental concerns prohibit the buildings of roads. ref Stephens, Ernie. http www.avtoday.com rw commercial heavylift 9023.html Helicopter Training on the job Flying the Line .

unreferenced date January 2009 A Cage aerial is a radio antenna , which consists of the top portion of a tower or mast and of several parallel wires, which are radially arranged around the lower part of the mast. one advantage of the cage aerial is that the supporting tower can be grounded, allowing it to be used for other radio services, such as a support for VHF or UHF antennas. A grounded tower also simplifies the installation of aircraft warning lamps. Cage aerials have been built in different variants for broadcasting stations in the longwave and mediumwave band. The cage is electrically one quarter of the operating wavelength long. It is connected to the mast at its upper end. This way it isolates the lower part of the mast &lambda 4 stub and makes the upper part of the mast the radiator. Very often the typical height of such an antenna is no problem as the height of the mast is selected for the TV or FM antennas on top. Example At 1000 kHz the wavelength is 300 m. Therefore the minimum length of the cage antenna is a bit more than 150 m 75 m for the radiator, 75 m for the cage and some metres to make the lower end of the cage inaccessible from the ground as the lower end of the cage carries a very high RF voltage.This antenna type is know in America as Folded unipole and extensively studied by John H.
