Fully Automatic Approach Up To Go-Around Decision And Final Rig Landing Assistance EASA has granted certification to Airbus Helicopters for the Rig'N Fly (Rig Integrated GPS approaches with eNhanced Fly-ability and safetY), an avionics enhancement designed to provide automatic rig approaches for offshore operations. First developed on H225, it will also be implemented on H175 (end 2016) and on H160.

NASA ‘Surprised’ By Hybrid Power Study Results
Researchers find significant fuel savings in “minimal”
turbo-electric concept, thanks to benefits of a boundary-layer
ingesting,electrically driven propulsor and resulting weight savings
from downsizing conventional turbofan engines.

Europe To Decide On Radical Airliner Demo In 2019
Researchers led by Airbus regard distributed hybrid-electric
propulsion as one promising option for a post-2035 commercial aircraft.
Europe may fly a scaled demonstrator of this, or an alternative
configuration, in 2022.

Northrop Grumman has just released an animation that shows how 6th Generation fighters might look like
// The Aviationist
Northrop Grumman has just launched a new ad that teases next generation fighter jets. One year ago, Northrop Grumman, at that time competing with Lockheed Martin and Boeing for the LRS-B ( Long Range Strike-Bomber) released an interesting ad that teased the shape of the next generation bomber. Earlier today, the aerospace giant released a […]

F-35 arrival at NAS Patuxent River after first transatlantic crossing B-roll and pilot interview
// The Aviationist
Interesting video with pilot interview provides some interesting details about the F-35's first transatlantic crossing. On Feb. 5, the Italian Air Force's first F-35, dubbed AL-1 and serialled MM7332 (with code "32-01" and markings of the 32° Stormo – Wing) landed at Naval Air Station Patuxent River, Mariland, at the end of the JSF's first […]

Easyjet to trial hydrogen hybrid airplane tech
// Gizmag Emerging Technology Magazine
EasyJet has announced plans to test a hybrid hydrogen fuel system. The concept was conceived by students at Cranfield University and could save around 50,000 tonnes (55,115 tons) of fuel a year, as well as the associated CO2 emissions. It would recover energy from braking when a plane lands.

Paper waste converted into eco-friendly aerogel
// Gizmag Emerging Technology Magazine
Known as "frozen smoke" because of their milky translucent appearance, aerogels are among the world's lightest solid materials. Consisting of 99.8 percent air, they're highly heat-resistant and are an excellent form of insulation. Now, scientists at the National University of Singapore (NUS) have used paper waste to create one.

Carbon dioxide from the air converted into methanol
// Gizmag Emerging Technology Magazine
The danger posed by rising levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide has seen many schemes proposed to remove a proportion it from the air. Rather than simply capture this greenhouse gas and bury it in the ground, though, many experiments have managed to transform CO2 into useful things like carbon nanofibers or even fuels, such as diesel. Unfortunately, the over-arching problem with many of these conversions is the particularly high operating temperatures that require almost counterproductive amounts of energy to produce relatively low yields of fuel. Now researchers at the University of Southern California (USC) claim to have devised a way to take CO2 directly from the air and convert it into methanol using much lower temperatures and in a correspondingly simpler way.
