米軍の超能力研究を取り上げた風刺コメディ映画『The Men Who Stare At Goats』が米国で公開中だ。この映画に登場する奇抜な研究計画のほとんどは、実際に試みられたものだ。
「この話には、あなたが思うよりも、真実の部分が多い」――米国で11月6日(米国時間)に公開された映画『The Men Who Stare At Goats』では、観客は開始から数分後にこう宣言される。[原作はイギリス人ジャーナリストJon Ronson氏による、1960年代の米軍レポートで、2004年に出版された。邦訳は『実録・アメリカ超能力部隊』(文春文庫)]
この映画に登場する突拍子もない軍事研究計画のうち、一体どれほどが実際に行なわれたのだろうか。実のところ、映画に登場する話題の大部分は、真実にかなり迫ったものであり――ただし実際は、もっと複雑なのだという。
超能力実験:
これは実際に行なわれていた。
今回の映画の原作となったノンフィクション本では、元陸軍大佐John B. Alexander氏のことが紹介されている。Alexander氏はベトナムで米陸軍特殊部隊の司令官を務め、数十年にわたって超能力者や「遠隔透視」能力を持つ人を国家安全保障に利用するアイデアを推進してきた。(同氏が神経言語プログラミングやUFOや非殺傷兵器への興味を追究するようになる以前の話だ)。Wired.comが行なった、Alexander氏へのインタビュー記事はこちら(日本語版記事)。
Wired.comでは、さらにこの分野に関する調査を深める中で、米Boeing社が60年代に行なった超能力実験などの過去の研究を紹介してきた。このBoeing社の実験では、何人かの被験者は、無作為に番号を生成する装置に、意思の力だけで特定の番号を出力させることができるようだ、との結論が出ている。
1985年以前の陸軍の報告書には、「サイコキネシスは、継続的な研究が行なわれ、有効利用できるレベルにまで開発された場合、今後の軍事作戦において軍事的価値を持つ可能性を秘めている」という記述がある(日本語版過去記事)。
比較的近年の1996年になっても、「視覚によらない知覚」なる現象が調査されているし、米軍のお抱え超能力者たちは今日なお活動中なのかもしれない。9.11テロはその何年も前に、遠隔透視能力者らによって予知されていた、と示唆する報告が2007年に公開されている。[リンク先記事によると、予言が出たとされるのは1986年。「建物の崩壊を伝える新聞の見出し、飛行機と関連したパニック」などの「予言」が書かれている。
1972年から米スタンフォード研究所で研究が始まった「遠隔透視」について書かれた本の邦訳は『サイキック・スパイ―米軍遠隔透視部隊極秘計画』(扶桑社ノンフィクション)]
ドラッグの実験:
これも事実だ。
前線の兵士たちは、[濃縮された]液体大麻からLSDまで、あらゆる薬物を――場合によっては、それと知らされずに――投与されていた。
研究者らは、軍人たちが「目に見えないさまざまな人と、2、3日間にもわたって会話を続け」たりするのを目撃している。[米陸軍がLSDなどの幻覚誘発薬を使って行なった『エッジウッド実験』などを紹介する日本語版記事はこちら]
Bisher war es ein Jumbo-Jet, eine Boeing 747, die unter dem Namen „Düsseldorf“ flog. Doch nach 14.000 Starts und Landungen ist damit jetzt Schluss. Auf dem Düsseldorfer Flughafen wurde jetzt das größte Passagierflugzeug der Welt, ein Airbus A380, auf den Namen der Landeshauptstadt getauft. In den nächsten Jahren wird das Flugzeug als eines von derzeit elf A380 auf vielen Langstrecken der Deutschen Lufthansa durch die Welt fliegen und somit auch ein wenig Werbung für Düsseldorf machen.

Bill opens up a vintage "black box" from a Delta airlines jetliner. He describes how the box withstands high temperatures and crash velocities because it made from Inconel: A superalloy steels that is used in furnaces and others extreme environments. The flight data recorder he shows is a Sundstrand FA-542 and was liked used on a DC-9 in the 1970s, although it could have been used as late as 1988 on a Boeing 727.
Zoophile, denkt der Laie, sind bestimmt Menschen, die gerne in den Zoo gehen. Doch so ganz stimmt das nicht. Zoophile nennen sich Leute, die auf Sex mit Tieren stehen. Leute wie Kenneth Pinyan, ein Boeing-Ingenieur aus Seattle. Mit anderen Gleichgesinnten traf er sich auf einer Farm im Staate Washington, um mit Pferden intim zu werden. Pinyan überlebte den GV mit einem Hengst nicht, und Amerika ward um einen bizarren Sittenskandal reicher. Was sich in der Inhaltsangabe möglicherweise ausnimmt wie die Steilvorlage für eine ultraschmutzige Horrorkomödie, gerät unter den Händen der hochdekorierten Dokumentarfilmmacher Devor und Mudede zu einem ebenso sensiblen wie aufschlussreichen Portrait über eine weithin übel beleumundete, gleichwohl größtenteils unbekannte sexuelle Subkultur.

Diese Dokumentation beschaeftigt sich mit den Verschwoerungstheorien rund um den Absturz des Trans-World-Airlines-Fluges 800. Kurz nach dem Start der Boing 747 am 17. Juli 1996 am New Yorker John F. Kennedy International Airport gegen 20:31 Uhr Ortszeit, explodiert der zentrale Fluegeltank der Maschine und reisst das Flugzeug in der Mitte auseinander. Waehrend der Bug unmittelbar zu Boden stuerzt, schiesst das Heck der Boing mitsamt den Tragflaechen bei laufenden Motoren weitere 30 Sekunden lang in die Hoehe und kracht dann ins Meer. Alle 230 Insassen der Maschine kommen bei dem tragischen Unglueck ums Leben. Unter ihnen auch die Ehefrau des Jazz-Saxofonisten Wayne Shorter und der franzoesische Gitarrist Marcel Dadi. Offiziellen Angaben zu Folge kam es durch ein defektes Kabel im Tank des Flugzeugs zu einem Funkensprung, der dann die Katastrophe ausloeste. Einige Experten haben an dieser Darstellung jedoch Zweifel. Ausserdem gibt es Augenzeugen, die kurz vor der Explosion angeblich eine Rakete auf die Boeing 747 zurasen sahen.
Sie ist ueber 72 Meter lang, fast 80 Meter breit und hat ein maximales Startgewicht von 560 Tonnen. Die A380 ist das groesste Passagierflugzeug der Welt. Doch das Image des Megatransporters erleidet Kratzer.Flugreisen sind nach wie vor gefragt. Trotz Wirtschaftskrise hoben allein in Deutschland 2009 knapp 70 Millionen Menschen ab. Weltweit platzen Flughaefen aus allen Naehten. Um aus dem Dilemma heraus zu kommen gibt es zwei Moeglichkeiten: die Flughaefen ausbauen oder mit groesseren Flugzeugen mehr Passagiere befoerdern. In nur fuenf Jahren konstruierte Airbus eine Maschine, die alles bisher da gewesene in den Schatten stellen sollte: groesser und sicherer - aber leichter, staerker trotzdem leiser. Das waren die Ziele, die die Airbus Konstrukteure anstrebten. Am 18. Januar 2005 rollte der erste Prototyp aus den Fertigungshallen. Die Daten beeindruckten: Mit über 850 Passagieren übertraf die A380 die 747 des Konkurrenten Boeing bei Weitem.

The RAF's World-Famous Aerobatic Team Gives a Special Performance at One of the World's Most Famous Aviation Events
Over 100,000 spectators are expected to descend this weekend to the Biggin Hill International Air Fair â one of the worldâs most famous aviation events.
Held each year at Biggin Hill Airport, Europeâs largest privately run air show features six hours of display flying on both days â with aircraft ranging from the historic and heroic, to modern, state-of-the-art machines. Some of the highlights at this yearâs event include a Battle of Britain Memorial Flight, with Hurricane and Spitfire fighters; and the first display in years by the formidable Avro Vulcan V-bomber.
As well as these spectacular flying displays, at this yearâs event the Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team â the Red Arrows â will be performing a special flypast in a V-formation with a Virgin Atlantic Boeing 747-400 at 2pm on the Sunday.
Led by Red 1 â Wing Commander Jas Hawker, Officer Commanding and Team Leader of the Red ... Distributed by Tubemogul.
Foreshadowing a number of conspiracy theories in the wake of the September 11, 2001 attacks, the plot of the March 4, 2001 pilot episode of the series depicts a secret U.S. government agency plotting to hijack a domestic commercial Boeing 727 originally heading for Boston from New York City but diverted it to crash into the World Trade Center via remote control for the purpose of increasing the military defense budget and blaming the attack on foreign "tin-pot dictators" who are "begging to be smart-bombed."

HISTORY hat in dieser spannenden Dokumentation Zutritt für einen Bereich erhalten, in den für gewöhnlich nur die Elite der der US-Politik eingelassen wird. Es geht an Bord des Flugzeugs das eigens für den US-Präsidenten bereitsteht: Die Air Force One. Die Sendung begleitet Amerikas Oberbefehlshaber auf einer historisch bedeutenden internationalen Mission durch Afrika. Erstaunlich nah können die Zuschauer auf dieser über 32.000 Kilometer langen Reise den einzigartig umgebauten Boeing 747 Jumbo Jet des mächtigsten Mannes der Welt erleben. Das Flugzeug ist schneller, sicherer, komfortabler und leistungsfähiger als jedes andere vergleichbare Flugzeug dieser Klasse. Die Mission durch Zentralafrika, die das Team von HISTORY begleitet, zeigt eindrucksvoll mit welchen Hindernissen und Problemen das Team um die Air Force One stets zu kämpfen hat. Alle Flughäfen in diesem technisch eher unterentwickelten Land müssen gesichert werden. Dazu werden eigens gepanzerte Limousinen und Helikopter eingeflogen, gesichert und vor Ort bewacht. Schwierigkeiten ergeben sich auch beim Landen. Kaum eine afrikanische Landebahn ist von ihrer Beschaffenheit so ausgelegt, dass eine Boeing 747 dort sicher wieder auf den Boden kommt. Und eine den westlichen Standards entsprechende Flugkontrolle oder ausgebildete Fluglotsen sind eher eine Seltenheit. Wenn man aber den US-Präsidenten an Bord hat, dürfen keine Fehler passieren: Jedes Detail muss exakt überprüft werden.

Over the next few years, American Airlines will continue to phase out its fleet of MD-80s and expand its fleet of 737s with new aircraft from Boeing. On April 13, American introduced new 737-800 aircraft which are yet another step in American's effort to provide a more relaxed and enjoyable flying experience for its customers.
