AgustaWestland and Bristow Sign Exclusive Agreement for the AW609 TiltRotor Programme

Joint announcement made at Heli-Expo with real aircraft 'on-static' public premier

  • Addressing concepts around operations, regulations, support, configurations, commercial aspects towards certification
  • Preparing introduction into the market as the AW609 industrialization phase starts
  • Almost 60 customers have already chosen the AW609 globally to perform several missions

Finmeccanica – AgustaWestland and Bristow announced today the signing of a platform development agreement for the AW609 TiltRotor programme. The announcement was made at Heli-Expo (Orlando, FL) on the occasion of the 'on static' public premiere of a real AW609 aircraft at the US exhibition, featuring a dedicated Bristow/Eastern Airways paint scheme.

The development agreement envisages AgustaWestland and Bristow working closely on a number of activities in support of AW609 program development addressing concepts around operations, regulations, maintenance, configuration optimization, as well as identifying possible areas of enhancement or modifications.

Under the agreement, AgustaWestland and Bristow will work to support the development of oil & gas and search and rescue dedicated configurations and capabilities. The companies would provide contribution to flying activities towards aircraft maturity and to address commercial aspects for future AW609 acquisitions.

The signing of this agreement sets a major milestone for the development of the first commercial tiltrotor towards FAA certification, which is expected to be achieved in 2017. This exclusive agreement further strengthens the long established partnership between AgustaWestland and Bristow, a prime global operator of the AW139 and the AW189 covering offshore transport and SAR operational requirements. By joining forces through their respective expertise and know-how, AgustaWestland and Bristow are moving towards a marketing and operational preparation stage as the AW609 program enters its industrialization phase.

As demand for integrated point-to-point transportation grows, Bristow has made strategic investments in Airnorth and Eastern Airways, combining fixed wing and helicopter transportation into a one-stop solution for customers. The agreement to further develop the potential capabilities of the AW609 marks a significant step towards the production of one aircraft type that will provide an ideal transportation solution for offshore travel in the future.

"We see tremendous opportunities for this aircraft for our clients who are flying to more remote and hostile environments," said Bristow President and CEO Jonathan Baliff. "With its vertical lift and landing capabilities combined with increased speed, extended range and airline-style amenities, Bristow will be able to provide more value to clients by offering complete logistics solutions with one aircraft type that will take them faster and farther offshore."

With more than 1,100 flight hours logged by the first two prototypes and two more aircraft coming, the AW609 programme is continuing to benefit from a range of enhancements to maximize the aircraft's performance and mission capabilities. Almost 60 customers have already chosen the AW609 globally to perform several missions such as offshore transport, patrol and search and rescue, executive/private transport and government roles.

Bristow Group Inc. is the leading provider of helicopter services to the worldwide offshore energy industry based on the number of aircraft operated and one of two helicopter service providers to the offshore energy industry with global operations. The company has major transportation operations in the North Sea, Nigeria and the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, and in most of the other major offshore oil and gas producing regions of the world, including Australia, Brazil, Canada, Russia and Trinidad.

Airbus Helicopters presenta el nuevo helicóptero X4, denominado H160

Airbus Helicopters ofrece su visión de futuro con la presentación del nuevo X4, denominado H160

Durante uno de los acontecimientos más esperados de la comunidad aeronáutica, Airbus Helicopters ha presentado hoy su nuevo H160. Este helicóptero apuesta por ser la referencia en la categoría de los aparatos de peso medio, elevando los estándares relativos al rendimiento, la rentabilidad, el confort de los pasajeros y el respeto del medio ambiente.

Primer producto introducido bajo la nueva identidad corporativa Airbus Helicopters y primero en adoptar la denominación "H", este helicóptero de la clase de 5,5 a 6 toneladas supone una verdadera ruptura tecnológica en su concepción y en sus sistemas. Estas innovaciones son paradigma del plan de transformación iniciado por la empresa, para la que la satisfacción de los clientes y la seguridad operacional son lo primero y principal.

El bimotor H160 ha sido presentado durante una ceremonia organizada con motivo de la inauguración del salón Heli-Expo, de Orlando, Florida, donde Airbus Helicopters exhibe una maqueta del helicóptero de tamaño natural en el stand 2437.

"El H160 encarna la estrategia de Airbus Helicopters al ofrecer las soluciones más eficaces para nuestros clientes, que prestan servicio, protegen, salvan vidas y transportan pasajeros en los entornos más exigentes", dijo Guillaume Faury, presidente de Airbus Helicopters. "Las misiones de nuestros clientes son la principal preocupación de la empresa, como bien define nuestro nuevo eslogan: "Important to you, essential to us".

El H160 alía forma y función bajo unos trazos estéticos muy estilizados e incorpora nada menos que 68 diferentes tecnologías patentadas por Airbus Helicopters. Su capacidad de carga útil, alcance y eficacia operacional, le permiten responder a una amplia gama de utilizaciones, incluidos el sector del petróleo y el gas, los servicios públicos, el transporte sanitario de urgencia, las patrullas de guardacostas, así como el transporte comercial y privado, y la aviación de negocios.

El helicóptero posee una velocidad de crucero de 160 nudos (296 km//h), capacidad de transporte de 12 pasajeros a distancias de hasta 120 millas náuticas en misiones del sector del petróleo y el gas, así como un alcance de 450 millas náuticas, con una reserva de 20 minutos, en operaciones de servicios públicos o de búsqueda y rescate.

El H160 presenta dos novedades que aumentan el rendimiento y le confieren una mejor estabilidad en vuelo. El Fenestron® de mayor diámetro presenta una doble inclinación a 12° que potencia la eficacia del control antipar. El nuevo Biplane Stabilizer™, con una instalación escalonada de estabilizadores de dos niveles, interconectados, facilita las maniobras al piloto y proporciona comodidad adicional en regímenes de baja velocidad.

Otro logro tecnológico pionero del H160 radica en la primera utilización de palas de rotor principal tipo Blue Edge®, que reducen los niveles de ruido exterior en un 50 por ciento (3 dB) y gracias a las cuales la carga útil del H160 supera hasta en 100 kg la de aparatos con palas de rotor tradicionales, en función de las condiciones de vuelo.

El H160 es el primer helicóptero civil con una estructura fabricada con materiales compuestos. Más ligera, robusta, así como más resistente a la corrosión y a la solicitación mecánica, la nueva estructura beneficia de vida útil prácticamente ilimitada, al tiempo que exige menor mantenimiento. El probado rotor principal sin rodamientos Spheriflex integra asimismo una innovadora tecnología de material compuesto termoplástico, que aligera el peso y aumenta la tolerancia al desperfecto.

El H160 está equipado con el sistema de aviónica Helionix® de Airbus Helicopters, gracias al cual los operadores disfrutarán de mayor seguridad, ya que reduce la carga de trabajo del piloto, mejora la percepción de las situaciones, perfecciona la protección de la envolvente de vuelo y ofrece además una redundancia de los sistemas. El conjunto Helionix®, del que hoy ya disponen el EC175 y el EC145 T2, es un concepto de familia de aviónica que permitirá la integración de mejoras software tanto en el H160 como en otros helicópteros de las líneas de producto actuales y futuras de la empresa.
El H160 será alimentado con el nuevo motor Turbomeca Arrano 1100-shp, que ofrece una reducción significativa del consumo de combustible para un mayor rendimiento relativo a la carga útil transportada y al radio de acción, al tiempo que reduce el impacto ambiental. Se ofrece además un concepto optimizado de mantenimiento que reducirá las revisiones y contribuirá a reducir los costos operativos del helicóptero.

El H160 presenta otras novedades como el tren de aterrizaje - que dispone de accionamiento eléctrico para desplegarlo, retraerlo, dirigirlo y frenarlo, por lo que requiere menor mantenimiento y admite más carga útil- y unas condiciones de mantenimiento especiales. Éstas incluyen el fácil acceso a diferentes zonas de mantenimiento – que se tomó en consideración desde la fase temprana de diseño del helicóptero y durante el proceso concurrente de ingeniería – y un flexible plan de mantenimiento desarrollado gracias la metodología de inspección MSG-3 (Maintenance Steering Group-3).
Airbus Helicopters ha invertido mucho en el programa H160 a fin de garantizar la madurez del helicóptero y optimizar su entrada en servicio. Se han desarrollado dos nuevos dispositivos de pruebas de integración en tierra para dar apoyo a tres prototipos específicos. Gracias a estos dos bancos, que permiten validar todos los sistemas dinámicos del helicóptero, el H160 podrá alcanzar un alto nivel de madurez antes del primer vuelo y reducir su periodo de desarrollo. Uno es el llamado "Dynamic Helicopter Zero", un banco de pruebas en el que se reproducen en su totalidad los sistemas dinámicos del helicóptero, con los controles de vuelo de los rotores principal y de cola, y también los sistemas hidráulico, eléctrico, de aviónica y de vigilancia del estado del motor (HUMS). El segundo, "System Helicopter Zero", incorpora la aviónica, el cableado eléctrico, los sistemas de combustible, hidráulico, de controles de vuelo, luces, así como todos los elementos clave de conexión eléctrica con inclusión del software.
El desarrollo del H160 se inició en 2013 y la confirmación de la definición de la configuración final ha tenido lugar este año. El primer vuelo del helicóptero está previsto en 2015 y la puesta en servicio en 2018.

Primer helicóptero totalmente inspirado en la nueva identidad de Airbus Helicopters, el H160 encarna los valores clave de la empresa – excelencia, agilidad, unidad e integridad y es el primer helicóptero que adopta el nuevo sistema de denominación. En consonancia con la estrategia seguida por Airbus, la letra "H" de Helicóptero sustituirá los prefijos "AS" y "EC" de la mayor parte de los helicópteros de la gama. Las versiones militares se identificarán por medio de la letra "M" a continuación de la denominación del modelo.

Bombardier CS300 Aircraft Successfully Completes Maiden Flight

February 27, 2015 Montréal Aerospace,  Press Release

  • Aircraft and its systems performed as expected
  • CS300 aircraft joins five CS100 flight test vehicles in the CSeries flight test program


Another major milestone in Bombardier's CSeries aircraft program was reached today with the maiden flight of the CS300 airliner. The technologically advanced CSeries aircraft will provide operators with an all-new family of single-aisle mainline jets specifically designed for the 100- to 149-seat market segment.

The CS300 airliner – bearing Canadian registration markings C-FFDK – departed Montréal–Mirabel International Airport at 11:00 EST and returned at 15:58 EST. It reached an altitude of 41,000 feet (12,500 metres) and a speed of 255 knots (470 km/h).

At Bombardier's Mirabel, Québec facility, some 2,000 Bombardier employees, Board members, partners, suppliers and customers braved frigid temperatures to witness the flight.

Capt. Andris (Andy) Litavniks, who was the co-pilot on the historic maiden flight of the smaller CS100 model on September 16, 2013, was pilot-in-command on today's milestone flight. Capt. Litavniks was assisted by co-pilot Christophe Marchand and flight test engineers Anthony Dunne and Mark Metivet.

"It was an absolute privilege to fly the first flight of the CS300 airliner and I'm absolutely ecstatic with how well it handled. It's a pilot's aircraft and handled exactly as predicted by simulation," said Capt. Litavniks. "Pilots will find it easy to transition from the CS100 to the CS300 aircraft or vice versa, which will greatly reduce training costs for operators using both models."

"Our CSeries aircraft program is progressing well, with results from testing as expected or better. The CS300 airliner will now join the five CS100 aircraft flight test vehicles that have amassed more than 1,000 flight test hours to date," said Rob Dewar, Vice President, CSeries Program. "We are confident the CS100 aircraft will be certified in the second half of 2015, followed closely by entry-into-service. The CS300 airliner is expected to follow about six months later."

"It was a thrill to see the first CS300 aircraft take to the skies for the first time and I heartily congratulate our teams for this achievement," said Mike Arcamone, President, Bombardier Commercial Aircraft.  "We continue to see increased interest from all over the world and as our performance targets are validated, we expect the enthusiasm for the CSeries family of aircraft to grow even more."  

The CS300 aircraft offers the best seat-mile cost in its category, making it the most profitable solution for mid-sized markets with up to 150 passengers per flight, and ideal for a range of routes from short-haul to longer transcontinental markets.

Stakeholders are encouraged to follow further developments in the CSeries aircraft program at www.cseries.bombardier.com and via our social media feeds on Twitter (www.twitter.com/bombardier_aero) and Facebook (www.facebook.com/BombardierAero).

São José dos Campos, Brazil, March 2, 2015 – Embraer Executive Jets delivered 73 Phenom 300 in 2014, making it the most delivered business jet in the world, according to a report by the General Aviation Manufacturers Association (GAMA). Deliveries of this aircraft reached a total of 60 in 2013, also the largest quantity for that year.

"We are very grateful for our customers' preference for the Phenom 300, a truly revolutionary aircraft, designed with extensive customer input and feedback," said Marco Túlio Pellegrini, President and CEO, Embraer Executive Jets. "This achievement further reaffirms our commitment to deliver the highest level of customer support and services."

In just five years of operation, the Phenom 300 fleet has reached the 250 aircraft mark, having accrued a 57% market share in the light jet category. The aircraft is in operation in more than 20 countries and has accumulated close to 200,000 flight hours.

The Phenom 300 is one of the fastest light jets, having recently established a National Aeronautic Association (NAA) cross-country speed record in the United States, from Bellingham, Washington, to Albany, New York.

About the Phenom 300

The Phenom 300 performs among the top light jets, with a high speed cruise of 453 knots and a six-occupant range of 1,971 nautical miles (3,650 km) with NBAA IFR reserves. This range allows nonstop flights from Miami to Telluride, or Los Angeles to Orlando. With the best climb and field performance in its class, the Phenom 300 costs less to operate and maintain than its peers. The aircraft is capable of flying at 45,000 feet (13,716 meters), powered by two Pratt & Whitney Canada PW535E engines with 3,200 pounds of thrust each.

The Phenom 300 offers a spacious cabin, designed in partnership with BMW Designworks USA, and the largest baggage compartment in its category. The largest windows in the class deliver abundant natural lighting in the cabin as well as in the aft private lavatory. The comfort of the seats, with recline and full movement capability, is enhanced by the best pressurization among light jets (6,600 ft. maximum cabin altitude). The Phenom 300 features distinct temperature zones for pilots and passengers, a wardrobe and refreshment center, voice and data communications options, and an entertainment system.

The pilot-friendly cockpit enables single-pilot operation and offers the advanced Prodigy Touch Flight Deck. The features it carries from a class above include single-point refueling, externally serviced lavatory, and an air stair.

Airbus Helicopters presenta su nuevo helicóptero bimotor X4 en HeliExpo 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.
