Michelin and Air France Sign Long Term Contract
PARIS 21 July 2010 – MICHELIN andAIR FRANCE have signed a long term contract. Michelin has also signed a long term contract with the airline companiesKLM.
The contract encompasses nearly 425 KLM /Air France planes, plus certain third party customers in maintenance contracts with the two companies, will be equipped with Michelin tires.
Among these planes are 37 Boeing B777-300 ER, 66 Boeing B737-NG, 145 A318-319-320-321 Airbus and 3 A380 Airbus.
These contracts are typed as “invoicing to the landing plane.” Michelin reputation rests on the quality of its products and its offers of innovative service, a decisive factor leading to the signature of this long-term agreement.
To ensure its technological leadership, Michelin invests annually nearly 500 million euros in its Center of Technologies. Michelin dedication to Research and Development are without peer in its industry.

The cause of the crash probably won’t be determined for months, with investigators expected to focus on a wide range of issues.
Tracking Down #MH370 or Physics of an Air Space Game of Marco Polo
The guessing/math triangulating the path of Inmarsat’s pings was the only thing experts seemed to agree on regarding to pinning down the location of Malaysia Airlines flight 370. Yet at the location, at least, the location according to the data laying out the path according to Inmarsat’s analysis, nothing was found in the recent search of the ocean floor off the coast of Australia. The engineers and mathematicians involved may have done their best but the guess seems to have been faulty or otherwise off somehow. If you will pardon the circular reasoning, if only we knew how it was off, we would know how it was off.
Investigators have come up with two maps that can be drawn based on the ping data, based on the speed. The variation is due to considerations of the pings which do not indicate the speed or direction the plane was moving, but only the probable distance between plane and satellite. See Inmarsat’s global representation …
However, there is opposition to the Inmarsat calculations which is presented by * Michael Exner (founder of the American Mobile Satellite Corporation) **Duncan Steel(physicist and visiting scientist at NASA’s Ames Research Center) and satellite technology consultant ***Tim Farrar which presents other data that should be considered. See the Dopplar shift jpg…
My pragmatic response to these experts is a major simplification: just that the plane did not disappear into a textbook, under textbook conditions. The pings occurred in a real atmosphere, with atmospheric variations that were not and possibly could not have been taken into account. Not only are the speed, direction and height of the aircraft factors that must be taken into account, but also the quality of the atmosphere, density, weather, etc, plus factors that a non-mathmatical, non-scientist like myself would not even know how to bring into the picture. In this search at least, the untested math used is as vulnerable as statistics is to presenting a defective or imprecise representation, or a representation which would only be true under certain conditions.
For further study on this, * Michael Exner, the Atlantic Official Explanation article, input from physicist **Duncan Steele (who calculates “a uniform ring radius based on the aircraft-satellite range given the elevation angle and the satellite’s altitude, and the latitude of the sub-satellite point, the aircraft being taken to be at the same latitude in this simplified geometry; and satellite consultant***Tim Farrar.
