Airbus Helicopters presenta su nuevo helicóptero bimotor X4 en HeliExpo 2015

jueves, 26 de febrero de 2015

Airbus Helicopters presenta su nuevo helicóptero y escribe una nueva página en la historia de la aviación en la muestra Heli Expo de 2015.

  • Presentación del muy esperado helicóptero de peso medio X4
  • Puesta en marcha de una nueva y perfeccionada oferta de servicio al cliente y de condiciones de garantía mejoradas
  • La satisfacción de los clientes es el núcleo de todas actividades de la empresa

Orlando, Florida, 26 de febrero de 2015 – Airbus Helicopters se propone marcar la feria Heli Expo de 2015 con la presentación mundial de su nuevo helicóptero bimotor X4 y con la introducción de una nueva oferta de soporte y servicios para sus clientes.

Estas novedades se inscriben plenamente en el marco del plan de transformación de la empresa, puesto en marcha con el objetivo de ofrecer las más eficientes soluciones a los operadores de helicópteros de todo el mundo.

"La edición 2015 de Heli Expo presenta la ocasión de demostrar nuestra determinación a cumplir con nuestros compromisos en materia de satisfacción del cliente, de calidad, de seguridad y de competitividad", explica Guillaume Faury, presidente de Airbus Helicopters. "Nuestra participación en esta feria es reflejo de la transformación que hemos emprendido y pone de relieve el trabajo dedicado al desarrollo de helicópteros de nueva generación y de nuestros servicios, que ofrecen las soluciones mejor adaptadas a las necesidades de nuestros clientes.
La presentación oficial del X4 tendrá lugar el 3 de marzo a las 11 horas, en el stand (#2437) de Airbus Helicopters en el salón Heli-Expo de Orlando, Florida. El X4 es el primer helicóptero que Airbus Helicopters produce bajo su nueva identidad, encarnando los valores de la empresa: integridad, agilidad, unidad y excelencia.

Diseñado sobre la base de la experiencia de Airbus Helicopters en las áreas de aerodinámica, aviónica, sistemas de accionamiento, así como en diseño de rotores y palas, el bimotor X4 es un novedoso helicóptero de peso medio con capacidad para un abanico completo de misiones de los sectores civil y parapúblico. "La presentación mundial del X4 está llamado a ser el acontecimiento más esperado del salón Heli-Expo de 2015, y estamos impacientes por compartir nuestra visión del futuro", añadió Faury.

Heli Expo será también la ocasión para Airbus Helicopters de presentar su renovada oferta de servicios que incluye condiciones de garantía optimizadas y un nuevo planteamiento de gestión de material y de abastecimiento de repuestos. Esta oferta prioriza sobretodo la satisfacción de los clientes con un compromiso permanente en materia de calidad y de rendimiento, al tiempo que vela por la seguridad y la disponibilidad operacional. La transformación de la empresa ha dado ya frutos visibles, como demuestran los resultados de la reciente encuesta realizada por ProPilot, según la que Airbus Helicopters ha avanzado dos puestos en un año, ocupando ahora el tercero.

Entre los productos de la marca Airbus Helicopters que serán expuestos en el stand de Heli Expo figuran el nuevo EC175 en configuración Oil & Gas. Desde su entrada en servicio en diciembre del año pasado en el sector de petróleo y el gas del Mar del Norte, el rendimiento del EC175 ha superado -con casi el 90% de disponibilidad - lo que se puede esperar de un modelo nuevo de helicóptero, habiendo transportado ya 1.500 pasajeros y acumulado más de 250 horas de vuelo. La certificación de este helicóptero de la clase de siete toneladas corresponde a las más modernas normas de aeronavegabilidad. El helicóptero cuenta además con el conjunto de aviónica Helionix® diseñado por Airbus Helicopters.

En Heli Expo se expone también un EC130 T2 en configuración de turismo, que resalta la
popularidad de que disfruta este monomotor entre las compañías dedicadas al turismo y a las
excursiones panorámicas aéreas. El rotor de cola de tipo Fenestron® contribuye al muy estable
funcionamiento de la aeronave, cuya espaciosa cabina modular tiene cabida hasta para siete
pasajeros, además del piloto.

También en el stand de Heli Expo se podrá admirar un EC145 T2 en configuración EMS, destinado a los servicios sanitarios de urgencia y que pertenece al cliente estadounidense de lanzamiento. Entre las mejoras introducidas para optimizar las misiones a grandes altitudes y a altas temperaturas ("hot and high") de este helicóptero bimotor polivalente, se encuentran los novedosos motores Arriel 2E de Turbomeca con doble FADEC y el rotor de cola carenado de tipo Fenestron®, las transmisiones principal y de cola perfeccionadas y el conjunto de aviónica digital Helionix, con piloto automático de cuatro ejes. La primera entrega del EC145 T2, certificado por la EASA y la FAA, tuvo lugar en julio de 2014. Hasta la fecha se ha cursado el pedido de 140 helicópteros, incluida la versión militar EC645 T2.

New Aircraft Designs: Wait Until 2030

domingo, 22 de febrero de 2015


The trend toward incremental change means that passengers hoping for a significantly better flying experience and aviation buffs excited by the latest technology should probably rein in their hopes.

“You do not need to do a new program to develop these new technologies,” Ray Conner, chief executive of Boeing Commercial Airplanes, said in an interview for www.cnet.com. “You’re able to take the things you create and bring them to other aircraft, to develop a really good airplane that meets the market needs.”

Shareholders point of view: incremental improvements are a lower-risk course of action than developing all-new designs. Even with less reliance on dramatic new designs, Airbus and Boeing have huge numbers of orders to fulfill as Asian airlines boom and all airlines struggle with high fuel prices.

“There’s a seven-year backlog without even taking new orders,” said Ben Moores , a senior analyst with IHS Jane’s for www.cnet.com. “You’re going to see a doubling of wide-body production over the next several years.”

That’s why the industry is focusing on faster production and updates to existing designs rather than new jets that are costly to design, test, and bring to market.

Sonex Aircraft Delivers First SubSonex Kit; Four New SubSonex Pilots Fly JSX-2; Bob Carlton Prepares SubSonex Air Show



Sonex Aircraft is excited to report the achievement of several major milestones in the SubSonex Personal Jet program during the month of February: The first SubSonex kit shipped from the Sonex factory; Four new SubSonex model JSX-2 pilots were minted in Moriarty, NM; and Bob Carlton received his Low-Level Statement of Aerobatic Competency (SAC) card for the SubSonex, in-preparation for the 2015 air show season!


First SubSonex Kit Delivered:
On Thursday, February 12th, the first SubSonex kit left Sonex Aircraft headquarters in Oshkosh, destined for customer Redge Greenberg of Durango, Colorado. The Ultra-Quick Build Kit was transported in the optionally available Triton TC 167 enclosed trailer by Sonex staff to Greenberg's home. This is the first in a series of seven kit deliveries included in the first kit production run, and marks the conclusion of an intense six month effort to bring JSX-2 from prototype aircraft to a fully-developed quick build kit product.


"I hold commercial glider, helicopter & single engine land licenses, accumulating 4500+ hours in numerous aircraft," writes Greenberg, "but I never got the chance to fly a jet. I first saw the prototype of the SubSonex at Oshkosh, and followed the development for over a year. When Sonex offered the jet as a kit, I was first in line. Like my RV8, the SubSonex is aerobatic, but the Sonex company also included a ballistic parachute for extra safety. I'm looking forward to finishing my SubSonex soon and adding jet capability to my aviation skills."


This week, two more kits will be delivered to customers in Ontario Canada and Pennsylvania, with kit deliveries to Missouri, Kentucky, and Oklahoma to follow next week. The seventh kit will be delivered to New South Wales, Australia via 20' ocean container. Orders are now being accepted for the second run of SubSonex Quick Build Kit production, to commence in August, 2015.


SubSonex JSX-2 Pilot Population Increases by 400 Percent:
During the weekend of February 1st, four new pilots became qualified to fly SubSonex JSX-2. Sonex Aircraft President John Monnett and Sonex CEO Jeremy Monnett travelled to Moriarty, New Mexico to join Designated Pilot Examiner (DPE) Bob O'Haver and BonusJet flight instructor Billy Hill in making their first flights in SubSonex JSX-2 and subsequent qualifying flights for SubSonex permanent Letters of Authorization (LOA). Moriarty airport, home of SubSonex chief test pilot and air show performer Bob Carlton, is also the base of Carlton's BonusJet training program through his company, Desert Aerospace. SubSonex customers can obtain dual instruction in the jet-powered TST-14 Bonus sailplane, dubbed the "BonusJet," using the same PBS TJ-100 turbojet systems used in the SubSonex to contribute toward their SubSonex LOA's. DPE O'Haver is available to the BonusJet program for issuance of SubSonex temporary and permanent LOA's to qualifying pilots.


On Saturday, all four pilots made their first flights of SubSonex JSX-2, all four with diverse flying backgrounds from highly-experienced jet pilots O'Haver and Hill, to JSX-1 qualified pilot John Monnett, to piston Sonex pilot Jeremy Monnett, who recently completed the BonusJet training program. "Remarkably, all four flights looked nearly identical," commented Jeremy Monnett, "which is a testament to SubSonex JSX-2's outstanding flying qualities."


The weekend's flying concluded on Sunday, with permanent LOA checkrides for Bob O'Haver (administered by another visiting DPE), and checkrides for John and Jeremy Monnett, with a check ride for Billy Hill taking place later in the week. Being a single-place aircraft, SubSonex permanent LOA checkrides are administered by observation from the ground via radio contact from the DPE with a GoPro video camera mount on-board to document the flight and review the demonstrated maneuvers. Two new videos have been published by Sonex Aircraft, LLC: the first showing highlights from everyone's first flights ( http://youtu.be/g6YsCZlwYw0 ), the second a cockpit-narrated video of Bob O'Haver's permanent LOA check ride (http://youtu.be/ZAHc-3sXGio ). "This is EASY to fly," remarks Jeremy Monnett on-camera after his first flight, joking to Bob Carlton, "sorry to burst your ego, Bob!" as Carlton was no longer the only SubSonex JSX-2 qualified pilot by the end of the day.


Bob Carlton Prepares for 2015 Air Show Season in JSX-2:
Not to be out-done by Jeremy, Bob Carlton has been practicing a new air show routine in SubSonex JSX-2 for the 2015 season! Currently booked at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2015 and the 2015 Rocky Mountain Air Show with more show dates pending, Carlton has put-together a SubSonex show unparalleled by jet acts of the past including maneuvers such as tail slides (usually taboo in a jet), hammerheads and non-stop action with tight turns inside the typical piston aircraft air show box. Carlton has been practicing the show extensively over the past month, and obtained his Low-Level Statement of Aerobatic Competency (SAC) card for the SubSonex on February 12th in Phoenix, Arizona. "Thanks to Tim Weber for the use of his hangar, Bill Cornick for coming from California to do the evaluation and Bob Bishop for coaching me last weekend in Tucson," writes Bob. Two more videos were released today featuring Bob's air show practice in the SubSonex: one with outstanding multicam video showing Bob's practice in Moriarty ( http://youtu.be/At7M9wUi8FA ), the other showing exciting footage of his low-level practice in Tucson ( http://youtu.be/kt3eM-ETSs4 ).


SubSonex JSX-2 is a highly refined version of the original proof-of-concept aircraft, JSX-1. Like JSX-1, the new JSX-2 model is powered by the PBS TJ-100 engine, producing 247 lbs of thrust in an advanced, fully integrated package. The new jet features a larger, more comfortable cockpit, a larger instrument panel, fully retractable landing gear, a BRS full-aircraft recovery parachute, higher fuel capacity in a rotationally molded cross-linked polyethylene fuel cell, easily removable wings, and a more sculpted and aesthetically pleasing nose section. Sold only as a Quick Build Kit, the SubSonex includes almost everything required to fly with the exception of avionics and paint. Available options for the SubSonex Personal Jet include MGL iEFIS touchscreen avionics, a Mountain High oxygen system, Aveo PowerBurst LED position and strobe lighting, heated leather upholstery, cabin heat, and a Triton TC 167 enclosed trailer modified to transport the SubSonex.

Así será el Airbus A350 XWB de Iberia

Nota de prensa

  • Un avión del mismo modelo que los que se incorporarán a la flota de Iberia ha aterrizado en Madrid por primera vez.
  • La división de aeropuertos de Iberia ha atendido a este Airbus A350 XWB, y cuenta con los equipos para prestar servicios de handling de pasajeros, rampa y carga a este avión.
  • Desde finales de este año y hasta 2020, Iberia recibirá 16 nuevos aviones de largo radio, ocho Airbus A330/200 y ocho Airbus A350.
  • Según estudios del fabricante, el Airbus A350 XWB consume hasta un 25% menos de combustible y tiene unos costes menores de mantenimiento que otros modelos similares. Además, permite la comunalidad con los pilotos de la flota Airbus A330, lo que reduce hasta un 65% los costes de formación y aporta mayor flexibilidad a la operación.

 
Iberia ha recibido hoy en sus hangares de mantenimiento de La Muñoza en Madrid la visita de un Airbus A350 XWB, el mismo modelo con los que la aerolínea va a renovar su flota de largo radio. Es la primera vez que este modelo de avión aterriza en Madrid y lo ha hecho procedente de Toulouse en un vuelo de pruebas.

A su llegada a Madrid, este Airbus A350 XWB ha sido atendido por Iberia Airport Services. La división de handling de Iberia cuenta con los equipos –escaleras, push back, plataformas, APU, etc- para prestar servicios de pasajeros, rampa y carga a los aviones de este modelo que en un futuro reciba Iberia y el resto de sus aerolíneas-clientes.


Renovación de la flota
En agosto de 2014, IAG anunció el pedido para Iberia de 16 nuevos aviones de largo radio, ocho Airbus A330/200 y ocho Airbus A350 XWB, que se incorporarán desde finales de este año y hasta 2020.

A su vez, en los dos últimos años Iberia ha recibido ocho A330/300 y renovado los interiores de los A340/600 para equiparlos con el nuevo producto de largo radio, uno de los mejores del mercado.


11% fabricado en España
Iberia ha apostado en su renovación de flota por un modelo de avión fabricado en más de un diez por ciento por la industria española que, entre otros, aporta a este proyecto su fortaleza como país de referencia en la utilización de la fibra de carbono en la industria aeronáutica. Airbus en España es responsable de la fabricación del estabilizador horizontal, cono de cola o sección 19, revestimiento inferior del ala o wing lower cover. Entre otros, cuenta con la colaboración de sus principales Tier 1, como Alestis que fabrica la carena ventral o belly fayring del avión además de la última sección del fuselaje trasero o sección 19.1 y Socata que es responsable de las trampas del tren principal de aterrizaje o main landing gear doors.

 

Aviones más eficientes y más cómodos.-
Los Airbus A350 XWB que Iberia incorporará a su flota son aviones bimotores muy eficientes que, según datos del propio fabricante, consumen hasta un 25% menos de combustible, emiten también un 25% menos de CO2-, y tienen menores costes de mantenimiento que otros modelos similares.

Para Iberia, este avión tiene la ventaja adicional de que permite la comunalidad con sus pilotos de la flota A330, lo que reduce también los costes en formación de tripulaciones hasta un 65%, y confiere gran flexibilidad en la operación diaria.

Los Airbus A350 XWB tienen un alcance de 15.580 kilómetros y, además, han sido certificados para realizar rutas ETOPS- como las que Iberia ya realiza con sus Airbus A330- pero aún más largas. Esto permite a los Airbus A350 XWB desviarse hasta 2.500 millas náuticas durante 370 minutos y, por tanto, operar en cualquiera de las rutas que Iberia ofrece en la actualidad.
