Un alumno de Aeronáutica de la UPM, premiado por sus investigaciones sobre hélices y palas
// Instituto de la Ingeniería de España
Carlos Lozano, estudiante de Aeronáutica de la Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, ha sido premiado por la Conferencia de Estudiantes de la AIAA (American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics) por sus investigaciones en el diseño de hélices para futuros coches voladores y de palas para helicópteros.
Carlos Lozano, estudiante de la Escuela de Aeronáuticos de la Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, ha sido premiado por sus investigaciones en el diseño de hélices para futuros coches voladores y de palas para helicópteros. La Conferencia de Estudiantes de la AIAA (American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics) ha reconocido el trabajo de Lozano con el primer premio en categoría de "equipo" y el tercero en la "individual".
El proyecto que presentó junto a otros dos estudiantes en la categoría de equipo ha recibido 500 dólares. En él, han comparado la utilización de cuatro tipos diferentes de pala de helicóptero: una rectangular y plana, otra con un diseño inspirado en un ala de insecto, una más con un perfil aerodinámico y, la última, con un tubo alrededor, para encontrar el diseño óptimo.
El proyecto de la categoría individual, gracias al que Lozano ha recibido 250 dólares, pretende analizar y optimizar el diseño de un ducted propeller (hélice entubada en español) que podría ser utilizado para futuros "coches voladores".
Los premios, señala la nota de prensa de la UPM, incluyen también una invitación financiada para presentar los proyectos en la Conferencia Internacional de la AIAA Scitech 2015, que se celebrará en enero de 2015 en Florida (EE.UU.)

http://m.aviationweek.com/commercial-aviation/airbus-weighs-a330neo-arguments-ahead-launch-decision
"It is an interesting idea, we go back and forth on it," Airbus Chief Operating Officer Customers John Leahy said at the company's Innovation Days in Toulouse. But so far the company does not appear to be very close to a decision, and Leahy hinted that it "may not happen by Farnborough." One factor influencing the decision is to what extent the A330neo would cannibalize the A350. The smallest version of the family, the A350-800, may be most affected. But Airbus may well decide it can happily live without the -800.
Leahy also argues that while the Boeing 787 has around 1,000 nm more range, the A330neo could cover around 90% of routes and given the lower capital costs of the A330 "it will be a very interesting equation."
Of all the scientists who brought rocketry to maturity during the Second World War, Eugen Sänger is not a figure who stands out. But he is an interesting and important historical figure. Like his more familiar contemporary Wernher von Braun, Sänger worked on developing liquid propulsion for vehic...

Today after the regular test flight of the T-50 aircraft at the airfield of the M.M.Gromov Flight Research Institute in Zhukovsky near Moscow, while the plane was landing, a smoke above the right air intake was observed, then a local fire broke out. The fire was quickly extinguished. The plane is to be repaired. There were no injuries. The Sukhoi Design Bureau set up a commission that will investigate the causes of the accident.
