Boeing, Turkish Airlines Finalize Order for 50 737 MAXs, 20 Next-Generation 737s
- Order also includes options for an additional 25 737 MAX 8s
ISTANBUL, May 14, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Boeing (NYSE:BA) and Turkish Airlines today finalized a firm order for 40 737 MAX 8s, 10 737 MAX 9s and 20 Next-Generation 737-800 jets, valued at $6.9 billion at list prices. The order, originally announced as a commitment last month, also includes options for an additional 25 737 MAX 8s and is the largest Boeing order in Turkish Airlines' history.
"We are delighted to finalize the order, which will considerably expand our fleet and contribute to our continued growth," said Temel Kotil, PhD, President and CEO of Turkish Airlines. "Turkish Airlines is a global airline, serving the most countries worldwide and we are building the strongest network in the world. Our long-standing partnership with Boeing is one of the key factors behind the success of Turkish Airlines."
Today's announcement brings the total number of 737 MAXs ordered to date to 1,285 and Boeing currently has more than 3,100 unfilled orders for 737s.
"Turkish Airlines currently operates more than 85 Next-Generation 737s, which are the foundation of its successful short-haul operations," said Todd Nelp, vice president of European Sales, Boeing Commercial Airplanes. "Today's announcement demonstrates the confidence Turkish Airlines has in the proven reliability, performance and economics of the Next-Generation 737, while the order for 50 737 MAXs marks a new chapter in their continued fleet expansion, ensuring unrivaled efficiencies and superior passenger comfort."
The 737 MAX builds on the strengths of the world's best-selling Next-Generation 737. The 737 MAX incorporates the latest-technology CFM International LEAP-1B engines to deliver the highest efficiency, reliability and passenger comfort in the single-aisle market. Airlines operating the 737 MAX will see a 13 percent fuel-use improvement over today's most fuel-efficient single-aisle airplanes.
Turkish Airlines currently serves more than 220 cities in 99 countries around the world. In March 2013, the carrier received its 100th direct delivery from Boeing and currently operates Next-Generation 737s and 777-300ER (Extended Range) jets. With today's announcement, Turkish Airlines has 100 Boeing airplanes on order including Next-Generation 737s, 737 MAXs and 777-300ERs

First A350 XWB painting completed in Toulouse
Painting of the first A350 XWB "MSN001" was today fully completed as it emerged in its Airbus livery out from the paintshop in Toulouse. This latest milestone shows that MSN001 is progressing well on its route to first flight.
The aircraft painting was achieved in less than seven days and follows the recent completion of MSN001's flight-test-instrumentation (FTI) verification. Last month the aircraft underwent its engines installation, and passed a subsequent intensive phase of ground vibration tests. MSN001 will soon start the final tests before its maiden flight this summer.

Fwd: Nota de Prensa: Iberia y Panasonic Toughbook revolucionan la gestión aeroportuaria con la última tecnología y soluciones móviles
Para la inspección diaria de los 800 equipos que se utilizan en Barajas para atender a los aviones, Iberia también ha desarrollado una aplicación que muestra los diferentes elementos que deben ser chequeados (ruedas, faros, retrovisores, limpiaparabrisas…), y a la que se accede desde los tablet CF-H2 de Panasonic. Esto permite eliminar el papel en este proceso y organizar las revisiones de acuerdo con su criticidad, lo que contribuye a agilizar el proceso y, también, a aumentar su eficacia.
En la gestión del deshielo se utilizan los tablets CF-H2 de Panasonic. Iberia ha desarrollado una nueva herramienta sobre tecnología 3G para gestionar el servicio de deshielo que le permite disponer de toda la información de la operativa en tiempo real, optimizar el servicio y la infraestructura de deshielo, incrementar la puntualidad y, en definitiva, ofrecer un mejor servicio a las aerolíneas a las que atiende. viernes, 10 de mayo de 2013
Sticky spy UAV turns things upside down with ability to land on walls and ceilings

Micro UAVs that have the ability to slip into tight spaces, including inside buildings, have wide ranging military and search and rescue applications. To reach their full potential, however, these UAVs are going to need to learn how to land in rougher areas that don't always have a horizontal surface to touch down on. One team of scientists has begun taking a huge step towards accomplishing just that by developing a quadcopter with a mechanism that allows it to land on walls or ceilings, stay for a while, and then take off again...

New materials shaping better performing aero-structures | Clean Sky
Developing a new process and technique to improve the
mechanical, electrical and thermal properties of CFRP
(Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer) laminates : This was the
challenge met by the Budapest University of Technology and
Economics (BME) supported by the 3rd Call for proposals of
Clean Sky as part of 'Green Regional Aircraft '.
To achieve this, BME added nanoparticles into the carbon
fibre itself and into the epoxy resin matrix to obtain a fully
nanoparticle filled material.This will be used in carbon fibre
reinforced aeronautical structures. As a result of the
research project, two patent applications have been filled
in.
