Un alumno de aeronáutica de la Universidad de Sevilla participa en una expedición al Ártico
// Instituto de la Ingeniería de España
El estudiante de Ingeniería Aeronáutica de la Universidad de Sevilla Miguel Ángel García-Magariño participa esta semana en la expedición universitaria Polar Raid, junto a alumnos, investigadores y docentes de más de 15 universidades españolas. Él realizará una investigación sobre cómo influyen en el GPS los campos electromagnéticos de las zonas polares.
El estudiante de quinto curso de Ingeniería Aeronáutica de la Universidad de Sevilla Miguel Ángel García-Magariño participa esta semana en la expedición universitaria Polar Raid, junto a alumnos, investigadores y docentes de más de 15 universidades españolas, entre los que se encuentran otros cuatro miembros de su universidad, informa ésta en una nota de prensa.
Esta expedición, promovida por la red Universia, recorrerá más de 1.500 km por el Ártico durante siete días. García-Magariño aprovechará esta aventura para realizar un proyecto de investigación mediante el cual estudiará la influencia de los fenómenos electromagnéticos que tienen lugar en la atmósfera en las zonas cercanas a los polos en los sistemas de navegación por satélite.
"Lo que pretendo es realizar un seguimiento GPS de nuestra ruta con equipos de medición muy avanzados, de precisión de centímetros casi a lo largo de los 1.500 km que recorreremos. Estas lecturas las enfrentaré a las medidas de actividad electromagnética presentes en la atmósfera (las auroras boreales) e intentaré sacar una conclusión sobre cómo y cuánto perjudican estas auroras a la precisión y calidad de la señal que reciben los GPS. Los resultados extraídos pueden ayudar a corregir errores de la navegación de aviones y barcos en las zonas polares y evitar posibles accidentes", explica el estudiante.

España invierte en ingeniería la mitad que la UE
// Instituto de la Ingeniería de España
Las necesidades financieras que requiere la inversión en infraestructuras en España se podrían rebajar de manera sensible si las autoridades licitadoras hiciesen un mayor esfuerzo de análisis de los proyectos, según varios expertos. España invierte en ingeniería sólo el 4,5% de la inversión total en infraestructuras, lo que explica que abunden tanto los modificados de obra, añaden los especialistas.
Las necesidades financieras que requiere la inversión en infraestructuras en España, según la consultora Mackinsey, se podrían rebajar de manera sensible si las autoridades licitadoras hiciesen un mayor esfuerzo de análisis de los proyectos, informa Expansión.
Según los expertos, España está abordando el creciente deterioro de sus infraestructuras de manera inversamente proporcional a las que recomienda Mckinsey, ya que las Administraciones Públicas cada vez dedican menos recursos al capítulo de ingeniería. Peter Boswell, de Bricad Associates, asegura que "la inversión es España en ingeniería apenas llega al 4,5% de la inversión total en infraestructuras cuando la media europea se sitúa en el 8,4%".
El descenso de la inversión en ingeniería es el factor que determina, según los expertos, que España sea el país de la UE en el que más proliferan las incidencias o imprevistos durante la ejecución de las obras, dando lugar a los famosos modificados de obra.

Una Tecnam para pilotos discapacitados
TECNAM P2002JF - VLA EQUIPPED WITH HAND CONTROLS FOR DISABLED PILOTS ACHIEVES EASA CERTIFICATION
This achievement of EASA approval is the result of over 18 months of ergonomic studies, test pilot's review, specialist component design, collaboration with Italian CAA (ENAC) and EASA and the input from many involved with the disabled pilots community.
The version of the Tecnam P2002JF is the first worldwide CS-VLA certified aircraft factory built with disabled hand controls. It is also the first time that the issue of official certification documents contain explicit reference to disabled pilots.
Mike Miller-Smith OBE, Aerobility CEO commented:
“This milestone project is truly the best of engineering and the best of human spirit – giving the freedom of flight to all. It signifies an exciting new era of accessible aviation for disabled people, providing low-cost flying opportunities for a wide range of disabilities. My sincere thanks to the Tecnam team. One simple PDF. One whole generation of disability awareness, social change, knowledge and engineering expertise!”
The challenges of achieving certification were a result of;
1. Paolo Pascale, Tecnam’s CEO authorizing the investment required to achieve this significant aviation milestone, not on the potential of sales but Tecnam’s commitment to ensuring that ‘everyone’ has the ability to enjoy the joy and freedom of flying.
2. 150 detailed files were produced by Tecnam’s Research and Development team to design and certify this special version of the P2002JF.
3. Issue of an EASA Certification Review Item (CRI) in order to offer a solid background to all the National Authorities in judging disabled pilot's as "able to fly" - The CRI title is "Additional control for disabled pilots";
4. 22 flight test hours conducted by Tecnam Chief Test Pilot Marco Locatelli, in order to explore every single aspect of the "unusual" controls arrangement - the Bedford Workload Scale has been used to evaluate the suggested training and transition on the aircraft, and in order to scientifically evaluate the workload;
5. More than 30 spin tests performed in order to evaluate all the possible instinctive reactions and the aircrafts consequent behavior;
6. Two of the world’s leading disabled pilots, Tim Ellison (former Royal Air Force Harrier pilot) and Alessandro Paleri (Italian ULM pilot and co-founder of the first worldwide aerobatic team of disabled pilots) performed cabin, provision to step-inside, flight evaluations and emergency escape tests. Their contribution in particular cannot be under estimated.
7. Close collaboration with Italian CAA (ENAC) specialists Francesco di Capua and Vito Foti which gave many constructive suggestions on how Tecnam’s initial designs might be improved.
8. The advice and support of Captain Tim Orchard, Tecnam’s dealer for the UK & Ireland and former Concorde pilot, who was the projects main sponsor and driving force. It was Captain Orchard who worked with Aerobility on the spectacular Tecnam P2006T Twin flight over the 2012 London Paralympic Games Opening Ceremony.
This version of the Tecnam P2002JF aircraft architecture is very simple and flexible: The flight instruction will be allowed by a third throttle control and second slip indicator on the RH side, while whoever is sat on the left side (student or disabled pilot flying solo) will:
• Control the stick (pitch and roll) and the brakes with the left hand;
• Control the rudder, throttle and flap with the right hand on the central control.

Aviation Week readers have been given an exclusive first look at the formation flight of the nEUROn unmanned combat air vehicle with a Rafale fighter and a Falcon 7X business jet, filmed and photographed by two chase planes.
It’s the first time a combat drone has flown in formation with other aircraft. The flight took place on 20 March 2014 over the Mediterranean ocean. Lasting 1 hour, 50 minutes the flight involved four manned aircraft and the UCAV flying alongside each other in a confined space.
In what is described as “a daunting challenge” Dassault engineers had to plan ahead to factor in the risk of interference, including aerodynamic turbulence between the aircraft as well as electromagnetic interference with communications between the nEUROn and its ground control station.

Modifican genéticamente el tabaco para producir más etanol
// Instituto de la Ingeniería de España
Investigadores de la Universidad Pública de Navarra han modificado genéticamente plantas de tabaco y las han cultivado con más densidad para producir entre un 20 y un 40 por ciento más de etanol.
Investigadores de la Universidad Pública de Navarra (UPNA) han realizado un estudio con plantas de tabaco, modificadas genéticamente, a partir de las cuales se puede producir entre un 20 y un 40 por ciento más de etanol, lo que aumentaría su viabilidad como materia prima para producir biocombustibles.
El tabaco, señala la universidad en una nota de prensa, puede llegar a producir 160 toneladas de materia fresca por hectárea. Según Jon Veramendi, responsable del grupo de investigación Agrobiotecnología vegetal, “las plantas de tabaco como fuente de biomasa para producir bioetanol podrían ser una alternativa al cultivo tradicional de tabaco, que está en retroceso en EE.UU. y en Europa porque no pueden competir con países emergentes como China”.
Las plantas fueron modificadas genéticamente para aumentar su producción de almidón y azúcares, lo que favorece el incremento en la producción de etanol.
El cultivo tradicional del tabaco deja que la planta se desarrolle y las hojas crezcan y se hagan más grandes, ya que la nicotina se sintetiza cuando la planta está más crecida. Sin embargo, en el caso de utilizar las plantas para producción de biocombustibles, los investigadores apuestan por un cultivo de mayor densidad, similar al de las plantas forrajeras: “Se siembran las plantas de tabaco muy próximas unas a otras y, a lo largo del ciclo, se realizan varias siegas. Cuando la planta alcanza aproximadamente 50 centímetros de altura, se corta y esa producción se lleva a la factoría de procesamiento de biomasa. Así, a lo largo del ciclo se pueden conseguir hasta 160 toneladas de materia por hectárea”.

Additive Manufacturing: The Next Big Thing, But How Big? [feedly]

Additive Manufacturing: The Next Big Thing, But How Big?
// Things With Wings
The tantalizing but complex topic of additive manufacturing – the production of parts built layer by layer -- was in focus as Day 2 of Aviation Week’s MRO Americas conference opened in Phoenix on April 9.
Matthew Bromberg, president of aftermarket at engine manufacturer Pratt & Whitney, says the day will come when overhaul shops will simply “print” their replacement parts, speeding up repair tasks and reducing inventory stocks. “It will work and it will be efficient,” he said in a keynote address at the MRO show, which drew 10,000 attendees. “It’s the way the industry will go.”
But even the most seasoned veterans of additive manufacturing are not sure how quickly the technology will be adapted in the aerospace industry. Mike Cloran, director of marketing for GE Aviation’s Additive Development Center, has long been an evangelist for additive metals manufacturing. He puts the current size of the additive manufacturing market – machines, materials and services – at $2.5 billion annually. But Cloran, speaking as part of an additive manufacturing panel that followed Bromberg’s address, says growth estimates vary widely. One calls for the market to mushroom to $16 billion within four years. Another forecasts it will take until 2025 just to get to $4 billion.
Cloran notes that additive manufacturing for metals parts has only been in existence for a decade, and says applications for the technology are expected to increase exponentially, particularly after 2018, as the process uses multiple metals to create designer alloys. “Over the last few years, it has grown way beyond our expectations,” he says.
