[Podcast] Industria aeronáutica durante los años de la autarquía, con Niebla de guerra. Archivo Sonoro de Sandglass Patrol 10

 

 

 

En esta ocasión os traemos una colaboración con Sergio Murata y Niebla de Guerra, su podcast, con la participación también de Ignacio del Horno, co-fundador de Sandglass Patrol. Vamos a hablar del periodo autárquico, y de la industria aeronáutica. ¿Nos acompañáis?

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.

El Ejército del Aire pasará a denominarse Ejército del Aire y del Espacio - Ministerio de Defensa de España

La importancia creciente del espacio ultraterrestre en el ámbito aeroespacial determina que las Fuerzas Armadas, y muy especialmente el Ejército del Aire, deban ser capaces de monitorizar el espacio, garantizando su seguridad y libertad de actuación en pro de los intereses nacionales, lo que exigirá el desarrollo y la potenciación progresiva de los sistemas espaciales.

Maeve Aerospace has secured an investment of €3.4M for the development of its all-electric 44 passenger aircraft

 

• Maeve Aerospace is developing a fully electric regional passenger aircraft seating 44 passengers and with a flight range of up to 550 km.

• Up to this moment the company has worked hard at conducting an extensive feasibility study towards electric aviation. Building upon this, Maeve now has the financing to accelerate and start the developments of its aircraft.

• Electric air travel eliminates CO2 and NOx emissions, is 40% quieter and therefore a concrete solution for emissions in the aviation sector.

[Video] D328eco program

In conjunction with the D328eco program, Deutsche Aircraft is developing a dedicated propulsion and energy flight test laboratory. This project will leverage the strength of an existing D328 airframe and enable flight test maturation of key technologies. These tests contribute directly to future commercial applications – and the path to zero emission regional air transport. This project is co-funded by BMWk and includes significant contributions from project partners.

 

The objectives of this project are:

• Support the German State and Federal strategic goals leading towards climate-neutral aviation.
• Work hand-in-hand with German industrial partners, universities and research institutions within the aviation industry to develop systems and technologies that enable climate-neutral aviation.
• Develop and mature CS25-relevant technologies to Technical Readiness Level 6. Specifically, by developing a modular flight test aircraft with initial focus on 1.5MW class electric propulsion systems, powered by an onboard LHFuel Cell System.
• Demonstrate operation and gather experimental data on low and zero emission ground and flight operation.
• Gain early and first-hand knowledge of airframe integration challenges to guide current and future aircraft design activities at Deutsche Aircraft.
• Build an in-house competence on emerging technologies. This will enable Deutsche Aircraft to be a smart buyer of future commercial systems, and de-risk technology selection and integration.

Vertical Flight Society Confronts FAA's Unwelcome U-turn on eVTOL Type Certification | FutureFlight

"The good news is that there is now an accepted means of certification for winged eVTOL aircraft, and the agency has publicly stated that it intends to support the aggressive timelines that the eVTOL companies have been working towards," said Hirschberg. "Now comes the hard part. It has often taken the agency a decade to create new rules. The FAA must now move at speeds it has seldom ever achieved in the past. If it fails, the U.S. will lose leadership in eVTOL, and the rest of the world will move forward without it, much like what happened in the drone industry two decades ago."

Se completa la entrega de las 24 Pilatus PC-21 al Ejército del Aire [España]

https://ejercitodelaire.defensa.gob.es/EA/ejercitodelaire/es/noticias/noticia/Se-completa-la-entrega-de-las-24-Pilatus-PC-21-al-Ejercito-del-Aire/



Ya se ha llevado a cabo la entrega a la Academia General del Aire (AGA) de las dos últimas aeronaves PC-21 (E.27 en nomenclatura del Ejército del Aire) del total de 24 firmadas con la empresa suiza Pilatus Aircraft Ltd.

A la entrada de las dos aeronaves en el espacio aéreo de la Base Aérea de San Javier, han sido interceptadas por un tercer E.27 del Ejército del Aire que las ha acompañado a inicial de la pista 05R. A bordo de las aeronaves viajaban el director del programa ITS de la Dirección General de Armamento y Material y la ingeniera jefa y directora del proyecto de la compañía Pilatus Ltd.

Los aviones han rodado hacia los refugios habilitados en la AGA donde han sido recibidos por el jefe del Grupo de Fuerzas Aéreas, acompañado por representantes de la División de Planes del Estado Mayor y de Ingeniería del Mando de Apoyo Logístico, así como varios integrantes del recién activado 792 SQN.

Este sistema integrado de entrenamiento adquirido por el Ejército del Aire para la formación de sus pilotos supondrá una auténtica revolución en el modelo de formación aeronáutica del Ejército del Aire a partir del curso 2022-2023, mejorando y acercando la enseñanza en vuelo a los cada vez más sofisticados sistemas de armas que componen el poder aeroespacial de las Fuerzas Armadas.
