TWA HISTORY

TWA’s history can be traced back to the 1930 merger of Western Air

1986. Its main trans-Atlantic hub was the TWA Flight Center at John

and Transcontinental Air Transport to create Transcontinental and

in order to consolidate cross-country mail routes. Early on, the airline distinguished itself for being on the cutting edge of aviation technology. Transcontinental and Western was one of the driving forces behind getting Douglas Aircraft to produce the DC-3.

TWA fared well after the U.S. airlines deregulated in 1978. Due to a healthy balance sheet, two good hubs in St. Louis and New York City, and an attractive route network that focused on lucrative international routes, the airline became a takeover target. In 1985, corporate

The planet earth is a living entity that we’re unsparingly exploiting. Oil reserves exhaustion, issues of drinking water and radical environmental changes are already affecting our lives. Whether the nearest future will be devastating or prosperous depends on what we do today. A huge, thick cloud of haze hung over eastern China in early September 2010. In this image, haze covers China from the Bo Hai Bay coastline in the east to the mountains in the west. China is the world’s leading producer and consumer of coal. Coal is China’s primary source of energy, and the primary source of its air quality problems. Regional air pollution, physical geography and weather patterns are still a serious problem.

This is What We Were TWA was a major American airline from 1925 until 2001. It was originally formed as Transcontinental & Western Air to operate a transcontinental route from New York City to Los Angeles via St. Louis and Kansas City. Along with American, United, and Eastern, it was one of the “Big Four� domestic airlines in the United States formed by the Spoils Conference of 1930. An aviation pioneer Howard Hughes acquired control of TWA in 1939, and after World War II led the expansion of the airline to serve Europe, the Middle East and Asia, making TWA a second unofficial flag carrier of the United States after Pan Am.

OUR LOGO ANATOMY The new logo design in based on 20° diagonals that represent speed and movement forward. The particular angle degree also has an important symbolic meaning since in 1920s Western Air Express (WAE) merged with Transcontinental Air Transport to form “TWA”. All the shapes of all the three letterform of the mark repeat the exact same X size. The negative space in between also answers back to the X size. The diagonals shapes along with an impetuous curve above convey the idea of a progress toward future, flight of thought and soul that goes back to core of the new TWE’s mission of evolution, exploration and ingenuity.

CLEAR SPACE As already mentioned the logo should always be used alone with negative space around it. The X size represents the thinkness of the letterform shapes. As depicted above the negative space should be at least the same as X size from the logo. This allows the logo to stand alone and feel spacious. Since the logo is the most important element of your brand it should always be used consistently.

WHEN THE WORLD CHANGES WE WILL BE READY Today, in rapidly degrading environment and exhaustion of natural resources we are already in the need of alternative sources for energy, water and minerals. The space colonization by humans is an option that needs to be not only considered but actively explored and performed. Asteroids and other celestial objects are today considered to be much better place to get the supplies by many scientists Early scientific observations suggested that there are trillions of dollars’ worth of minerals and metals buried in asteroids that come close to the Earth. Asteroids are so close that an asteroid mining mission is easily feasible. TWE organization is developing plans for going up to get these natural space resources. One of the main goals of TWE’s annual space expeditions is devoted to asteroid mining and raw material processing. The next vital objective of intergalactic flights performed by highly innovative ships and devices is an exploration of planets and other galaxies for potential habitation possibilities of mankind in space.

UNDERWATER EXPEDITIONS The underwater expeditions are another important area of TWE’s activities. TWE is working on the concept of high-tech moving laboratory combining ideas of space exploration with deep-sea exploration. This craft is envisioned as a sort of aquatic research, carrying scientists on long treks through an environment not inherently friendly to human life. The annual underwater missions in this highly advance ships are determined to explore and discover resources and minerals vital for mankind. Technology developed for those kind of advanced systems allow us to further develop technology on a smaller scale, for every day use. It also allows for humans to live in environments that are typically impossible long term – expanding human colonization. The ideas behind this ship extend much further than an ocean based laboratory – these are the concepts of the future! We can have entire cities both on land and off based around these concepts. Where we combine technology with nature and work together to bring forth a green, thriving world where everyone can live freely!

It can already enhance human endeavour by complementing what people can do. AI’s impact will be especially powerful in in areas of science and engineering. Recognizing the objectives of TWE it’s quite logical that we spend large amount of it’s resources in collaboration with scientists and research centers around the world to come up with AI robotic devices that can help us in our often dangerous exploration missions in space and underwater. It can support our activites in the air and highly unfriendly human environments during research, in finding of raw materials and their safe transportation to the earth.

BIOCHEMISTRY AND MOLECULAR BIOLOGY RESEARCH CENTER Over the last 40 years, biochemistry has become extremely successful at explaining living processes. Today, the main focus of biochemistry is in understanding how biological molecules give rise to the processes that occur within living cells, which relates greatly to the study and understanding of whole organisms. Only the profound and thorough understanding of living organism, cells and molecules on earth, in water and in space can allow us to maintain healthy life circle on this planet or any other environment. Which is why our biochemistry and molecular biology research centers attempt to understand biochemical processes at the most fundamental level—that of quantum mechanics, It could be the most important step toward making biochemistry a predictive science, which is exactly what we need to built a better future.

When you look at a plant or an animal, be it a majestic redwood, your golden retriever, or even another person, what you see is and the entire organism, a smoothly functioning whole. But beneath the surface is a living machine.

REACHING SPEED OF LIGHT Our current understanding of the laws of physics say that nothing can go faster than the speed of light, and that objects with mass cannot even get up to the speed of light, since it requires an infinite amount of energy. Recognizing this fact TWE conducts experiments in search of new sources of energy in our Bio Laboratories, that we will refer to later on. Subjecting the possibility that this kind of energy can be found TWE is working on a concept of interstellar spaceship that can travel at the speed of light. As a new step of evolution this will serve our main goal in reaching galaxies further than we have ever been before, explore environments for purposes of colonization and finding resources and natural minerals for our future.

COLLABORATION Constructing knowledge requires working together toward a common goal. At TWE we do not underestimate the collaboration and take it as serious as it is. Getting any product or service into the market is the result of work of a large set of people. We collaborate with leading institutions such as Russian Aerospace Agency, Sony Robotics from Japan, European Aeronautic Defence and Space Company. A true global scientific collaboration was always something like a dream, but it’s also the only solution in confronting to all kinds of environmental problems and ensuring the best possible future for next generations.

THE FUTURE IS NOW Bio laboratory experiments are one of the most important component of THE activities. As mentioned earlier they aim to find alternative sources of energy, which in nearest future will replace current sources such as natural gas and oil. Our staff of world’s leading biologists, bio chemists and physicists are working towards solving this problem by extracting the molecular energy from active cells and store it in efficient batteries for further consumption. With current human potential and latest scientific achievements we believe the future has already arrived and we have the power to be on the same page with it.
