These actions are being taken following an interim review of data from the ALTITUDE clinical trial.

The devices help pilots avoid "terrain" by coupling global-positioning technology with flight data on speed, altitude and other readings, and a database containing the topography of the planet.
Indeed, the pace of data bandwidth expansion at altitude has been significantly motivated not by governments, but by demand for connectivity from passengers, first on business jets and now on airlines where in-flight wi-fi is increasingly considered standard.
This will acquire pictures of land use and vegetation changes from an altitude of 820km, maintaining an important data series started by the French Spot satellites in the late 1990s.

Novartis was informed that the independent Data Monitoring Committee (DMC) overseeing ALTITUDE had recommended stopping the trial because Tekturna was unlikely to show any benefit, and potential safety concerns had been identified in these high-risk patients.

The researchers said it provided invaluable data for the development of high-performance, high-altitude parachute systems, and that the lessons learned would inform the development of new ideas for emergency evacuation from vehicles, such as spacecraft, passing through the stratosphere.

The researchers on the Red Bull Stratos project say it has already provided invaluable data for the development of high-performance, high-altitude parachute systems, and that the lessons learned will inform the development of new ideas for emergency evacuation from vehicles, such as spacecraft, passing through the stratosphere.

Using ATOP, if a pilot requests an altitude or route change, the system loads the new information, based on the data transmission from the plane, calculates any possible conflicts and suggests responses from the controller automatically.

Stabilizing their altitude at 10, 000 feet, the Navy pilot initiated the emergency destruct plan for the sensitive data and equipment on board -- and considered ditching the plane into the sea.
