[Podcast] Los Países Bajos publican su hoja de ruta para descarbonizar la aviación, con Ivan Rivera. Archivo sonoro de Sandglass Patrol 2
Los Países Bajos han publicado una hoja de ruta para descarbonizar la aviación, habla de aerotaxis, aviones regionales…y la analizamos con Ivan Rivera "Brucknerite", ingeniero especialista en electrificación. Y hablamos de esta hoja de ruta, pero la mezclamos con trenes, generación de electricidad en islas, colza y hombres de las cavernas. También hay coches, eVTOL y trogloditas.
pd: Si la intro y la despedida os son familiares, que no os sorprenda. En un ejercicio de nostalgia podcasteril he hablado con Javier Lago para pedirle permiso y utlizar la introducción que hizo para el que, si no recuerdo mal, fue el primer podcast español sobre aviación: Remove Before Flight RBF podcast.
[Podcast] Entrevista a Cástor Fantoba. Archivo sonoro de Sandglass Patrol 1
Entrevista a Castor Fantoba, hablando sobre cómo iniciarse en la acrobacia, su paro por la universidad, o el futuro de la aviación, todo en un ambiente distendido, casi una charla entre amigos bebiendo cerveza… ¡que es lo que ambos estábamso haciendo!
[Podcast] Nace el Archivo sonoro de Sandglass Patrol
Sandglass Patrol es uno de los blogs en castellano sobre aviación en activo más antiguos que existen. Y alma mater de esta colección de recortes de prensa llamada Noticias Aero. Siempre hemos hecho colaboraciones con otros podcast, pero nunca nos hemos decidido a tener nuestro propio archivo sonoro. Y ya iba siendo hora. No esperamos tener una regularidad enorme, tan solo que ésto sea un complemento a nuestro blog, para cuando la palabra escrita se nos queda corta y es mejor recurrir a la voz.
El podcast se puede enontrar en Amazon Music, Apple Podcast, Google Podcast, Ivoox, Spotify

AeroMobil announces the world’s first 4-seater flying car [press release]
AeroMobil announces the world's first 4-seater flying car: a disruptive door-to-door ride-hailing travel solution

Tuesday, March 15, 2022 — AeroMobil announces the second model of its revolutionary flying car, the 4-seater AM NEXT. AM NEXT leverages the groundbreaking engineering of AM4.0, the world's first production flying car. AM4.0 is a 2-seater luxury personal vehicle - more than a supercar and a light aircraft combined, it is a new species of vehicle which will start deliveries in 2024.
The primary business model for AM NEXT, launching in 2027, is a fleet aerial ride-hailing service. AM NEXT will provide significant time-savings on regional routes in the 100-500 mile range, which are too far to drive and too short, or inconvenient, to fly. AM NEXT will provide no-hassle travel: door-to-door single-seat convenience and comfort, to work, rest, play, or just enjoy the view.
A leading global management consulting firm measured the Total Addressable Market ("TAM") for the AeroMobil ride-hailing service as $70 billion annually just in North America. This is calculated from an extensive survey of traveler switching rates based on time, price and convenience on 660,000 routes within AM NEXT's range.
Like AM4.0, the AM NEXT true flying car has major advantages over other Advanced Air Mobility solutions. AeroMobil's technology uses existing infrastructure (over 10,000 landing strips in the US), fits existing automotive and aviation regulation, and has significantly greater range than eVTOL craft. AeroMobil also has very few competitors which will enable strong profit margins thanks to leading market share and differentiated branding.
AeroMobil's business model is capital and overhead efficient. The company engineers and designs the hardware and software, and will manage the customer experience through a proprietary flight booking app. Manufacturing and fleet operations are outsourced to leading specialists in these fields.
Patrick Hessel, CEO of AeroMobil, stated:
"We are excited to announce the second revolutionary model of AeroMobil's true flying car. Following AM4.0, the world's first production flying car, AM NEXT will disrupt and democratize the regional travel market. It will provide a better, and in many cases previously unavailable, solution to trips in the 100-500 mile range. AeroMobil will leverage AM4.0's proof of concept of engineering and regulation, and its premium branding, into AM NEXT's mass-market aerial ride-hailing service".
"Coinciding with the announcement of AM NEXT, we are touring the prototype 2-seater AM4.0 flying car in the United States, with public viewing and with private appointments for investors, buyers and operators. Details are on aeromobil.com".
The AeroMobil 4.0 will be at the Hiller Aviation Museum in Silicon Valley between March 8th and 20th.
The vehicle will be at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles between March 22nd and 29th.

Electric aviation will be a major section at #aerofriedrichshafen.
The Light Sport Aircraft industry comes to AERO 2022 with many innovations
Ultralight (UL) and Light Sport Aircraft (LSA) traditionally play a major role at AERO. This industry is a very innovative segment of general aviation, which has been given an additional boost by the approval of the so-called 600-kg class in Europe. By increasing the maximum take-off weight, manufacturers can design their aircraft to be even more powerful and safer. The number of aircraft types in this class is steadily increasing. In terms of flight performance, ULs not only match the performance of many traditional single-engine aircraft, but even surpass them in many cases. The range of ultralight aircraft on offer is enormously broad and versatile, as visitors to AERO (27 - 30 April 2022) will be able to see for themselves. This year's AERO will also be the venue for many innovations from the UL/LSA sector, which will be on display for the first time at a trade fair.
Dirk Ketelsen, Managing Director and owner of Breezer Aircraft, says: "After two years without any major presence events, we are very happy to finally be able to show our Breezer at AERO again and enjoy the unique spirit. We will present an innovation to our customers in the wonderful setting in Friedrichshafen, our UL tug Breezer B850, which is rated at 850kg towing load and of course a lot more. It will be a great start to the 2022 season, which we are all very much looking forward to!"
AERO is an international trade fair of global significance that brings manufacturers and visitors from all over the world to Friedrichshafen. Well-known aviation journalist Dan Johnson says: "After more than 25 years of attending, I am so pleased AERO Friedrichshafen will continue in 2022. I missed attending AERO in 2020 and 2021 and I am excited to return."
"For my audience, AERO Friedrichshafen is the most important aviation event in Europe. It offers a wealth of good material for 35,000 readers of ByDanJohnson.com. I hope many can and will attend in person but for those who cannot, I will be pleased to report all the interesting aircraft I expect to find at AERO Friedrichshafen 2022."
For pilots who want to fly their UL or motor glider to the AERO themselves, the Markdorf glider airfield north-west of Friedrichshafen is once again the place to go. From there, there is a shuttle directly to the exhibition grounds on all days of the trade fair and back again after the trade fair visit.
The well-known aviation blogger and Youtuber Pilot_Frank will report directly from the fair on his channels. He will set up his blogger base in Hall B2.
AERO Division Manager Roland Bosch and Project Manager Tobias Bretzel say: "We have a very good booking situation for AERO 2022. All the important manufacturers will be represented again. The UL industry has advanced aviation as an innovative segment." Tobias Bretzel emphasises: "In the last two years without a trade fair, the manufacturers had a hard time presenting their innovations. AERO 2022 is now the ideal platform to show interested parties and customers in personal contact what progress they have made and what new products they are bringing to market."
The trade fair organisers' hygiene concept has proven its worth in recent months and will also apply to AERO 2022. There will be no box offices, visitors will have to book their tickets online in advance.

About the event:
AERO 2022 will take place from April 27 - 30, 2022 at the Messe Friedrichshafen exhibition center. AERO is the leading international trade show for General Aviation, Business Aviation and air sports. Aircraft ranging from civilian drones to gliders, ultralights and gyrocopters, helicopters, touring and training aircraft with piston or turboprop engines and business jets will be on display. New propulsion systems, electric flight, state-of-the-art avionics, services and accessories for pilots are further focal points. These topics are also reflected in the AERO Conferences, making Europe's largest General Aviation event also an important platform for knowledge exchange and continuing education.
