The main goal of the presented research is to assess the technological damageability of the material, which can be used as a criterion for analyzing the technological route of product machining in the "blank-workpiece-final part" technological chain. This technological chain is examined in detail in the most important stages of the life cycles of mechanical engineering products in order to take into account the principles of technological inheritability of their characteristics and quality parameters. The technological inheritability of the properties of the surface layers of machines and mechanisms parts from steel during their machining evaluates and predicts the transformation of the structurally heterogeneous material obtained after the production of blanks into the structurally homogeneous material of the final parts. The procedure for evaluating the homogeneity of the processed material for each technological step by the LM hardness method is presented. The developed methodology was implemented and proven during the manufacturing process of the conveyor belt drive drum shaft.

This work discusses the use of a mini gyroscope with three degrees of freedom to control or remote control an unmanned aerial mini‐vehicle (mini‐UAV). The gyroscope determines the reference system for the navigation of the UAV. The algorithm of the gyroscope control moments and the law of deflection of the UAV surface control are presented. The mini autopilot plays a role of a system that makes the longitudinal line coincide with the gyroscope axis. The structure and durability aspects of the remote and programmed navigation are considered.

At the heart of airline flight safety management is a systematic approach to identifying hazards and controlling risk factors, which ICAO requires to collect, analyze all deviations in the activities of units, services and personnel airlines and use of its results to develop and implement management activities. That kind of the system enables the organization to predict and fix problems before they lead to an aviation accident. Thus, the organizational management structure should ensure high efficiency, reliability and completeness of the control over all components that ensure the process of the air transportation: the course of transportation, the clear operation of all units in the uninterrupted transport process and their correct matching. In modern conditions, this result is achieved based on a process approach, when the company’s activities are presented as a set of production processes (activities). For each of these areas, the airline has appropriate management systems that are developed, certified, implemented and operated in accordance with international standards. As a result of the interaction of these processes, the goals of the aviation enterprise, which determine its competitiveness, are achieved.
