Boeing KC-46A Pegasus Tanker Takes Flight
Micah Knight Managing Editor On the afternoon of Friday, September 25, a charcoal grey aircraft lifted off from Boeing’s Paine Field runway in Everett, Washington. The aircraft was the KC-46 “Pegasus,” the first flight of a new generation of aerial refueling tankers. During the flight, Boeing engineers and an Air Force team tested the engines, flight controls, and environmental systems before taking the plane to its maximum altitude of 35,000 feet. After a four-hour flight, the first KC-46 landed at Boeing Field in Seattle. The Air Force’s current aerial refueling tanker fleet, comprised of KC-135 Stratotankers is over 50 years old - it was introduced
in 1957, and the last one was produced in 1965. The older the planes get, the more maintenance, overhaul time, and cost is required to maintain the fleet. KC-135 operations and support costs were about $2.2 billion in 2003, and are projected to grow to $5.1 billion for 2017. In 2003, the Air Force began slowly replacing KC-135 tankers with leased Boeing 767 airframes, which were modified to be tankers. However, the lease contract was much more expensive than it would have cost to purchase the planes, and allegations of corruption were filed. An investigation discovered that an Air Force procurement officer was negotiating a job with Boeing while negotiating contracts with
the company. Boeing’s CFO was terminated, the CEO resigned, and the company paid $615 million in fines. In 2006 the Air Force requested proposals for a new tanker aircraft program. After considering a 777-based tanker model, Boeing finally decided to modify the 767 into a tanker and went through a number of revisions before their final bid. After a lengthy selection process, in 2011 the Air Force announced the selection of Boeing’s “KC-767” aircraft for the KC-135 replacement program. The new model of aircraft would have the military designation KC-46 “Pegasus.” The KC-46 has a cargo deck above the refueling system, allowing it to carry
more passengers and cargo than the KC-135. The passenger space gives it room to be a useful medical evacuation aircraft. The Pegasus can hold more fuel than the Stratotanker, though not a substantial amount more, and can fuel any U.S., allied, or coalition aircraft equipped with midair refueling capability. The pilots are given 15-in, 787-style advanced electronic displays to optimize flight parameters, and the refueling boom operator has a 24-inch display with a 3-D picture. The modern avionics will make the plane simpler and easier for pilots to fly, rather than having to learn 50-year old cockpit layouts and avionics. Boeing will produce 179 of the tankers by 2027 as
the first stage of the Air Force’s KC-135 replacement project. It is still to be determined what the Air Force will do in the coming decades to replace the rest of the fleet, but some KC-135s may be in service for 100 years before being replaced. Boeing initially modified 767 airframes before reconfiguring the airframes for the KC-46. The KC-46 had a wiring issue in 2014 which set the program back several months. The first flight comes seven months after schedule, but the aircraft is scheduled to perform aerial refueling with various Air Force planes later this year. Boeing and the Air Force have announced that the goal of the delivery of 18 tankers by August 2017 will still be met.
Toyota Developing “Flying” Car Keenan Thungtrakul Correspondent The idea of a flying car has been around since the first cars were rolling off the production line at the first automobile factories. So far, every attempt to take a stab at creating a flying car has been met with failure. A fatal crash back when the concept was still popular had
derailed further efforts into this science-fiction kind of invention. Now, the Japanese-based Toyota Motor Company is taking a new shot at developing a flying car suitable for the production market. The drawings from the patent application filed March 2014 showed the car having a front shaped like an airplane nose with a tail on the end for a rudder. Mul-
tiple airfoils will be stacked atop each other. A practical flying car would be able to function like an airplane yet still be able to be drive on a road surface and park in a garage rather than a hangar. Toyota plans to have two modes available for the car: “roadable” mode and flight mode. With road mode, the wings are collapsed and brought against the top of
the car; for flight, they can then be extended for flight. Despite the evident blend of car and airplane, an official from Toyota has said that the plan does not entail a full-fledged flying car but rather a model that can act like a hovercraft and get off the road a bit to reduce friction and possibly increase fuel mileage. The airfoils themselves showed no indications of ailerons or eleva-
tors for roll and pitch control, though the possibility to include them is still there. While this may be the best shot yet at getting personal airborne vehicles affordably, the whole design process is only beginning. There is a lot more to do and a lot more processes to execute before flying cars hit the road, but eventually they will. It is just a matter of time.

Student Representative Delivers Updates
Thomas Darragh Student Representitive
This past week, the SGA Student Representative Board (SRB) met for the sixth time this semester. With changes and construction across campus, students’ needs continue to grow. Representatives from each of the colleges and student groups have been working hard on projects to improve the student experience at Embry-Riddle. The SRB has been working with many faculty members to create additional study spaces in The HUB and other locations outside of the library. Feedback and changes have been incorporated into the ERAU App to have it provide information on study spaces, Canvas notifications, and updated grades. Representatives in
the Progress Committee are working on having charging stations installed on campus for students to charge personal electronics. Reps are also looking into digital signage and interactive screens to increase the flow
of important information and services around campus. Additionally, a large increase in on-campus residents has created a greater need for bike racks and storage near the residence halls and the
colleges. Representatives are coordinating with offices across campus to best mitigate this issue. These projects and many more all tie into what students need to succeed and enjoy their time at Embry-Riddle. The SGA is always looking to hear issues and concerns that are important to students across campus. The SGA Office, located at the front of the Student Center, has the “Word on the Street” box. Students are welcome to note down rumors and discussion they have heard around campus. The SGA Representative Board opens up time at every meeting for any student to make comments or ask questions about something they wish to express. The SRB has meetings every Tuesday at 12:45 PM in the Willie Millie Instructional Center Auditorium.
Get to Know your SGA Lincoln Kelly SGA President Junior/Civil Engineering Hey everyone! My name is Lincoln Kelly, and I’m a junior majoring in Civil Engineering. I was born and raised in New Paltz, New York. In my pursuit to follow my family’s legacy in the Armed Services I applied for an Army ROTC scholarship, and was eventually offered one here at Embry-Riddle. I will be honest, Embry-Riddle was not my first choice; my dream was to attend the United States Military Academy at West Point. As you know, life doesn’t always work out the way you expect it to, but for me I am so glad it worked out the way that it did. Getting involved in the SGA has been the best decision I have made since deciding to come to school here. I have truly found my home away from home in the Embry-Riddle family, and wouldn’t give it up for the world. I have experienced so much during my time at Embry Riddle, and have grown as a student, a leader, and most importantly, a person. As President, I serve the student body in a few different ways. I am a… • Voting delegate of the Board of Trustees, • Presiding officer that takes full responsibility of the Student Government Association (SGA), • Representative and Leader of the student body supporting events, and programming by students and student organizations. Serving in the past as a Member-at-Large and Associate Justice of the Student Court, I have been in SGA throughout my entire college experience. I began my career in the SGA on the Progress Committee, where I helped ideas such as the Hammock Park and UC White Boards become a reality. I have also had the opportunity to work with the Finance board and Representative board throughout this past year, and have seen their potential for improving student life campus-wide. The opportunity to work with the rest of the SGA is something I am really looking forward to. Some of my personal goals for this position are to continue working towards the student body’s vision of school spirit by helping to support, improve, and create events on campus as well as supporting our brand new NCAA sports teams, hosting tailgates, and sponsoring some key games. I am always looking for new ideas, and am more than willing to take your comments, questions, and concerns. My office is located in the Student Center, room 104C inside the SGA Office. Feel free to approach me anytime; it will be my pleasure to meet another member of the ERAU family. Go Eagles!

Detachment 157 Performs With Prestige C/Maj Oscar Carl Com. Squadron, Dtmt 157 Cadets from Detachment 157 (the Phoenix Class) have returned from their four-week summer training, known as Field Training (FT), with great success. Field Training is a crucial step on the road to becom-
ing an Air Force officer through AFROTC. All cadets compete to attend FT, and graduating FT is required to continue in AFROTC. Graduating also signifies an important transition from the General Military Course to the Professional Officer Course, where cadets shift from following to leading the Cadet Wing
during the school year. This year Detachment 157 proved once again why they are the greatest AFROTC unit in the nation. All 40 Phoenixes who attended FT successfully completed training, with 19 finishing in the top third (48%) and 15 in the middle third (38%) of their flights.
Out of those 40 cadets, Detachment 157 produced 6 Distinguished Graduates (top 10%), 5 Superior Performers (top 20%), 10 recommendations to return as cadet staff members next year (known as Cadet Training Assistants [CTA]), and earned an average physical fitness score of 93.8/100 – outstanding
performance all around. The following cadets listed to the right have been awarded a particular honor while at Field Training. If you see any of the cadets listed to the right, or any cadet who attended Field Training this year, please congratulate them on their stellar performance!

Is North Korea a Real Threat?
Billy Nguyen Staff Reporter
Before I begin, I just want to make it clear, that the ideas and views expressed in this article are mine and do not reflect the views of The Avion or Embry-Riddle, before this piece of opinionated journalism becomes the catalyst for World War III. Personally, I don’t believe that North Korea is a real threat, and a lot of people feel the same way. I’m confident that, and God forbid if this were to ever happen, if North Korea declared war on the United States
and our allies, we’re more than capable enough to defend ourselves from any attack and danger they may present. However, recent intelligence shows that North Korea has been producing nuclear weapons, and they might have a small arsenal of nuclear warheads at their disposal already. North Korea is also building additional nuclear facilities according to the Nuclear Threat Initiative’s website. The news comes after the United States and South Korea’s Ulchi Freedom Guardian exercise came to a close a few weeks ago.
According to the country’s leader Kim Jong Un, North Korea is a “nuclear state” and that it won’t back down in its development of nuclear materials for “peaceful purposes.” If the accusations are true that North Korea is in possession of nuclear weapons, the rest of the world, and especially the United States, might pay closer attention to this secretive state. To Un, these weapons elevate the status of his rhetoric, and this is what bothers me. His threats against the United States are no longer just empty words spoken by a frustrated young dictator. He can
actually make good on his threats which is quite scary given his unpredictable behavior and ruthlessness. A recent North Korean defector, who was a high-ranking member of Un’s administration, not only says that his regime is “the most unstable,” but also says that Un’s regime is “going to be the shortest” when compared to his father Kim Jong Il and grandfather Kim Jong Sung. While North Korea’s low-grade rocket and missile program hinders their capability to launch an intercontinental ballistic missile, they’re slowly catching up.
According to South Korean officials, North Korea has acquired antique Chinese and Soviet missile technology, so it’s only a matter of time before they have a fully-functional nuclear missile. This is why a lot of people, including myself, are paying close attention to North Korea for signs of an impending rocket launch. From a practical stand point, North Korea is not a real threat. The capabilities they currently have pose no real threat to the United States, though this can change quickly. I fear North Korea because if they do possess nucle-
ar weapons, this completely changes the battlefield. It’s not like the United States isn’t prepared for such a battle. The last time the United States dealt with nuclear weapons was during the Cold War, and the world itself was on the brink of nuclear extermination. Nuclear war itself is deadly and the United States knows better than anyone to not deal with this destructive force. So for now, I feel safe knowing that North Korea poses no real danger to our way of life. Let’s just hope that the media is only over hyping the situation
Merit Badge University: Local Boy Scouts Take Flight Grady Delp Correspondent This past Saturday, the Embry-Riddle chapter of Alpha Phi Omega, a national service-based fraternity, hosted an event in the College of Aviation to teach local Boy Scouts the knowledge needed to earn four STEM-based merit badges. In total, 55 scouts attended for a
day of learning and fun. The four merit badges the scouts learned about included Aviation, Engineering, Digital Technology, and First Aid. At the end of the day the scouts left with merit badges proudly in hand. Alpha Phi Omega has its roots in scouting, and the ERAU chapter tries to have one event to help the local Scouting council every semester.
Previously, it has hosted the local district’s Camp-o-ree, where scouts camped out on the soccer field behind the Student Village at night, and learned in order to get the Aviation merit badge in the day. The chapter also held several Science Day events. Last semester, the ERAU chapter helped the Florida Institute of Technology chapter host their
Merit Badge University. This semester, the ERAU chapter decided to take the initiative with their idea, and help Daytona Beach area scouts earn merit badges that align with what those at Embry-Riddle do best. Scouts learning about the Aviation merit badge got to tour the Q-hanger, and participate in a pre-flight inspection
of one of the aircraft in the Embry-Riddle fleet. The Engineering merit badge class took place in the Rolls-Royce Propulsion and Systems Lab on the first floor of the College of Aviation. Students of the Digital Technology merit badge learned a lot about computers, software, and how to use them. Scouts taking the First Aid merit badge

ERAU Men’s Soccer Falls to Eckerd 2-0 vs
Wednesday
September
Eckerd: 2 Janelle Johnson ERAU Athletics On Saturday evening, The Embry-Riddle men's soccer put up a strong battle against Eckerd but fell 2-0. ERAU dropped to 1-4 on the season while the Tritons remained undefeated at 5-0-1. Eckerd had the edge in shots at 9-8, with seven of ERAU's shots coming in the first half. Daniel Gylfason led the charge with four shots for the Eagles, while Jeff Bone made four saves in the losing effort. The Eagles held much of the possession as the game began. Gylfason ripped three of his four shots during the first 15 minutes of play while the Tritons were denied any
ERAU: 0 real chances until midway through the half. In the 22nd minute, Moriba Ballah was whistled for a foul on an Eckerd player several yards outside the penalty area. On the ensuing free kick, a Triton player was fouled, this time inside the box and Eckerd was awarded a penalty kick. Richard Ainscough drove it hard past a diving Bone for the 1-0 lead. Gylfason and Ballah challenged Triton goalkeeper Alex Gott to make saves as the half wore on, but were unable to find the back of the net. Seconds before halftime, Eckerd struck again as Wyeth Leemon and Nick Jackson connected
passes that led them past the Eagle defense. Jackson gave the Tritons a 2-0 lead at the break. In the second half, a strong back four for the Eagles denied the Tritons of most chances asMagnus Magnusson won nearly every ball out of the air that came his way. The Eagles had several
close calls in the final minutes of the match as Pierre Hertin raced up left side and crossed balls into the box. However, the home side just couldn't put one in the back of the net and the Tritons were able to hold on for the 2-0 win. The Eagles return to the pitch next Saturday, Oct 3 when they travel to Tampa. Ryan Sitler carry’s the ball down the field in anticipation for a good pass to a fellow tem mate.

erd program and you can see their improvement over the years. “We are very pleased to come away with a 4-0 win today. It was a hot day on really hot turf, so scoring early was critical. We felt like we departed from our mentality and effort on Wednesday, so it was
encouraging to see our team respond today. Now we’re able to get a little rest with the bye on Wednesday before playing a tough Tampa side.” The Eagles have a week’s break before their next match, which will be a 7 p.m. home fixture against Tampa on Saturday, Oct. 3.

The Embry-Riddle women’s soccer team returned to the win column with a 4-0 shutout of Eckerd, Saturday at the Tritons’ Turley Athletic Complex. Senior Andrea Froshaug led the way for the Blue and Gold with a hat trick and an assist as the Eagles improved their record to 5-3 overall, while the Tritons moved to 4-3-1. The Eagles dominated possession from the start. While the box score showed the Eagles with a 12-8 advantage in shots, the game was not that close
as the Eagle defense did not allow the Triton attack to get in behind and limited Eckerd to only shots from long range. The Eagles put their stamp of the game early with a goal at the 3:03 mark. Froshaug collected the ball on the right side of the field and outpaced the defense before depositing her fourth goal of the year into the lower left corner. In the 31st minute, Froshaug received the ball, spun away from two defenders about 40 yards away from the goal and sent the ball out to Annie Gelnaw on the right
side. Gelnaw raced into the box and easily beat Eckerd goalkeeper Angelique Ulmer for her first goal of the season to extend the Eagle lead to 2-0 at the break. Battling the hear that came with a 2 p.m. kickoff, as well an uncomfortably hot playing surface, the Eagles went back to work in the second and 16 minutes into the frame increased the lead to 3-0. Katherine Ebbs received the ball just outside the 18-yard box, turned to face the goal and slotted a pass through to Froshuag as she made a run into the box. Froshuag took one touch to elude her defender and found the back of the net for the second time to make the score 3-0 in favor of ERAU. Five minutes later, Ebbs and Froshaug combined again. Ebbs played a ball down the sideline, which Froshaug ran onto and finished to

After UT had doubled the lead to four (2016), ERAU scored on the next three rallies to make it a one-point set (20-19).

On the next point, UT’s setter was called for a ball handling error which cut the lead to a single point at 24-23.
