The Integrated Powerhead Demonstrator... And The Newsiest Oshkosh Ever!

All this week, Aero-News is bringing you not just one... but TWO ANN Special Feature Aero-Casts.

First up, we look into a team effort with a lot of players... the first really new design in rocket motors in more than 30 years. In fact, the Integrated Powerhead Demonstrator is the only multi-stage rocket motor now being developed in the US... the product of research by the NASA's Marshall and Stennis Centers, the Air Force Research Lab, Pratt & Whitney, Rocketdyne, and Aerojet.

Stephen Hanna is team leader on the IPD -- and today, he tells us more about this exciting aerospace project.

For our Special Osh-Kast Feature, ANN's Jim Campbell and Pete Combs talk about the flood of new information that's to come at this year's AirVenture celebration. It looks as though AirVenture 2006 will prove to be the most news-laden event ever, with announcements from Cessna, Garmin, Eclipse and several other manufacturers due in the next week.

These features are in addition to our daily news briefing -- available in either a quick "Touch And Go" format or an expanded Aero-Briefing.

ANN Daily Touch N Go: 07.20.06 (ANN's Short-Form Daily News Program)

ANN Daily Aero-Briefing: 07.20.06 (ANN's Long-Form Daily News Program)

ANN Special Feature -- The IPD Rocket Motor: 07.20.06 (ANN Special Feature, with Integrated Powerhead Demonstrator team leader Stephen Hanna.)

• SPECIAL Oshkosh Feature -- The Newsiest Oshkosh Ever!: 07.20.06 (ANN Special "Osh-Kast" Feature, with Pete Combs and Jim Campbell on the news yet to come out of this year's Oshkosh celebration.)

Our DAILY programs consist of (at least) three separate products.

• ANN's Daily 'Touch & Go' Aero-Cast: A quick look at the most recent news of the day... short, succinct and to the point. The usual 'Touch & Go' takes but a few minutes and is a summary, only, of the day's events... and it only takes a few minutes of your time.
• ANN's Daily Briefing Aero-Cast: The Daily ANN Report (ANNRep for short), is a more comprehensive look at the day's news. We give you the whole buzz... the news and features that occupy the forefront of aviation news as well as solid background on the subjects that aviators and other aviation professionals need to stay informed on.
• ANN's Daily 'ASR' Feature Aero-Cast: Our daily 'Aero-News Special Report' involves a more in-depth view of a story or two that dominated (or will be dominating) the day's news. Far more detailed than any single story in our standard ANN Daily Reports, this is a solid chance to get a close look at the stories and topics that matter. ASR features may include exclusive interviews with Aviation's Newsmakers, ANN's Special Investigative reports and solid analysis of the stories that will have undeniable impact on the world of aviation and aerospace.

Check them out, let us know what you think and be sure to keep those news-tips and program suggestions coming... ANN is ALL about what YOU want to know about in the world of aviation and aerospace.
