Several different aircraft have been used in aviation search and rescue mission. The use of the aircraft in such mission has been mostly for common purpose of scouring the sea or land to identify and locate the victims. In addition, they are also utilized for rescue mission with some specialized equipment onboard. This study aims to identify the myriad of aircraft that have been used in the aviation search and rescue mission, and perform the simplistic analysis on their common and uncommon denominators. Based on the results, it has been established that these aircraft often have a small capacity and perimeter coverage, with low flight pace and rate of climb performance capabilities.

Several aircraft types are commonly used to perform many search and rescue missions throughout the world. Aircraft have been used because they are able to offer a bird’s eye view of the surrounding search areas. In general, these aircraft come in various shapes, sizes and weights, and have myriad capabilities in carrying rescued and/or injured personnel and also equipment for the search and medical operations during the search and rescue sorties. For an aircraft, takeoff gross weight is important because it will affect the flying performance of the aircraft. To perform an effective search and rescue mission, the right selection of aircraft is essential such that unnecessary resources are not being wasted. In line with this notion, this study examines the distribution of the maximum takeoff gross weight of aircraft that have been typically used in search and rescue sorties. This knowledge will help in the design of future aircraft for such missions and also narrowing the selection of existing aircraft to be used on that kind of operations. It is found from the data analysis that most current operators have been using medium-haul aircraft that have a takeoff gross weight between 4,301 kg and 8,600 kg.

<div class=""abs_img""><img src=""[disp_template_path]/JRM/abst-image/00260004/10.jpg"" width=""300"" />Image of Anchor Ball</span></div> This paper presents Anchor Ball, a thrown device with a tether for use safely and quickly in search and rescue operations in dangerous situations. To enable the Anchor Ball to stick to various types of walls, the principle of suction inspired by octopus suckers is introduced, which is composed of a multiple-holed surface for indirect suction and an adhesive elastic film for the seal. A shape-adaptive structure with adjustable stiffness is also introduced to help the Anchor Ball stick even on rugged surfaces. After the characterization of the Anchor Ball is described, the effectiveness of the proposed methods is verified by demonstrating inspection inside a building by combining with Fluid Powered Ropeway which enables to carry the exploration apparatus along with the flexible tube, which is shown in videos at the website [a]. </span>

Aerial Vehicle

An Unmanned Aerial vehicle (UAV), commonly known as drone, is an aircraft without a human pilot aboard. In recent years, some UAVs are deployed for civil applications, such as policing, firefighting, air pollution monitoring, and aerial search and rescue, etc. Unmanned Aerial vehicle generally include fixed-wing and multi-rotor aircrafts. This research had developed a high endurance quadcopter for search and rescue mission. Target position correction software also was developed in this research. This program uses GPS coordinates embedded in the EXIF information of the aerial photos and more accurately calculates the target’s position. The target’s position error is less than ten meters in 75 meters altitude. Keywords: target position correction software, search and rescue, UAV, quadcopter, and GPS.

Zeolitic Materials

The detection of chemical species is a common and required task in several areas of technology. Currently, measurements in dedicated labs are the predominant tools for detection and characterization of chemicals and materials. Although these techniques are available in specialized equipment, their use is often bounded by cost of application or the operator's expertise. Also, in many applications rather than an analysis of all the detectable chemical species, it is only of interest to determine the presence of a particular chemical compound, and if it is present, to quantify its concentration. For these reasons, alternative methods for detecting specific chemical species are required. One case of such methods are the optical chemical sensors, particularly the ones based on the materials known as zeolites. In a broad sense, these sensors are constituted by an optical detector that is modified with zeolites. This combination allows the detection of specific chemical compounds if the zeolitic materials is properly modified to have an optical response for the analyte.
