MyFox Washington DC
Rather than building a helicarrier-type craft from scratch, the initiative focuses on taking current large aircraft, like the C-130 transport plane, and transforming them into a sort of flying aircraft carrier. Unmanned air systems, often called drones ...

Levantarse con el móvil lleno de mensajes de un grupo de Whatsapp no es nada nuevo ni especial. Que sea porque un conocido se ha aventurado en una empresa de lanzamiento de satélites, es otra cosa. Y los mensajes no eran ni más ni menos para avisarme que Daniel Ventura (coordinador de la Festa al Cel, piloto acrobático, piloto virtual y aerotrastornado en general) se había embarcado en el proyecto de lanzar pequeños satélites desde un ex-caza MiG 28 UB.

Los ensayos en vuelo comenzaron en la Base Edwards, Mojave, California el 6 de noviembre de 2014. Se estima que con el uso de estos flaps en las aeronaves ya existentes se podría conseguir una reducción en el consumo de combustible de entre un 4 y un 8%, y que en aeronaves diseñadas desde cero con estos flaps el porcentaje podría llegar al 12%. Además de hasta un 40% menos de ruido en los aterrizajes.

Airbus to expand oversize air transport capability
// Airbus All news

Launches development of new Beluga oversize transport aircraft

To industrially accompany the A350 XWB ramp-up and other aircraft production rate increases, Airbus took the decision to launch the development and production of five new Belugas.
The new Beluga will be based on the A330 with a large re-use of existing components and equipment. The distinctive looking lowered cockpit, the cargo bay structure and the rear-end and tail will be amongst the items which will be newly developed.

The first of the five new Belugas will enter in service in mid-2019. The existing Beluga fleet will operate in parallel, and will be progressively retired through to 2025.

The current Beluga fleet of five aircraft is based on the A300. The "Beluga", is Airbus' unique method for transporting large aircraft components – between company production sites in Europe. Airbus had already launched "the Fly 10000" project aiming at doubling the current Beluga capacity by 2017.
However the current capacity is limited and the new Beluga fleet will close this capacity gap.

With its flexibility and short transport lead-times, oversize air transport is a cornerstone of Airbus' industrial operations.
