France, Germany, Sweden launch future transport aircraft

"It was during this event on 23 June that an agreement was signed for the Future Mid-Size Tactical Cargo (FMTC), a tactical transport aircraft project replacing, by 2040, the [Lockheed Martin] C-130 Hercules and Casa [Airbus Defence and Space (DS)] CN235 fleets. Supported by the European Defence Agency (EDA), this agreement allows the definition of the aircraft intended to operate in addition to the [Airbus DS] A400M fleet from 2040," the AAE said.

Iberia recibe un nuevo Airbus A320neo: “Leonardo Torres Quevedo”

nota de prensa

  • Es el decimotercer avión de este modelo que incorpora la compañía 
  • Y el modelo más avanzado para los vuelos de corto y medio radio de Iberia:un 50% más silencioso y entre un 15% y un 20% más eficiente en cuanto a consumo de combustible y emisiones de CO2
 
Iberia continúa con la renovación de su flota y ha recibido ya el quinto de los seis Airbus A320neo que tenía previsto para este año, y el decimotercero de este modelo para operar vuelos de corto y medio radio.

Este A320neo con matrícula EC-NTQ lleva el nombre Leonardo Torres Quevedo, en homenaje a uno de los grandes inventores españoles de finales del siglo XIX y principios del s.XX. Cántabro de nacimiento e ingeniero de caminos de profesión, Leonardo destacó por su gran capacidad inventiva y resolutiva.

Se adentró en campos muy dispares como la aeronáutica y el álgebra, y sus contribuciones fueron destacadas tanto en España como fuera de nuestras fronteras en diversos campos de la ingeniería, como los teleféricos o los dirigibles. Todos los Airbus A320neo de Iberia llevan nombres relacionados con la aviación: Leonardo Torres Quevedo es el último de una saga entre los que se encuentran Amelia Earhart, María Bernaldo de Quirós, Patrulla Águila o Getafe, cuna de la aviación, entre otros.


El A320neo es el avión más avanzado en términos de tecnología y eficiencia de la flota de corto y medio radio de Iberia. Equipado con motores CFM de tipo Leap-1A, el A320neo es un 50% más silencioso que sus antecesores, consume entre un 15% y un 20% de combustible y, por tanto, permite reducir las emisiones de CO2 y también un 50% menos de NOx.

Además, los últimos A320neo que ha incorporado Iberia cuentan ya con la cabina “Airspace” con interiores más confortables para los clientes: maleteros más amplios para el equipaje de mano, más espacio a bordo para los pasajeros por el rediseño de los paneles laterales, una nueva iluminación ambiental en cabina (“modo light”) y lavabos con acabado antibacteriano, entre otras mejoras.

Maiden flight of Elektra Trainer - Elektra Solar

This aircraft accumulates the company's decades of experience in the development of solar-electric aircraft. Elektra Trainer is mainly based on the proven technology of Elektra One, the single-seat electric aircraft from Elektra Solar, which was certified last year in the German ultralight (UL) class.


Elektra Trainer was designed as an ideal aircraft for flight schools and flight clubs. The operating costs are less than 60 EUR/hour, which is about half the cost of a classic ultralight aircraft. This price difference will increase from year to year due to rapidly rising fuel costs.

Next Generation Air Dominance 'Fighter' Is Still Being Competed

Secretary of the Air Force Frank Kendall has said he expects a new sixth-generation manned stealth fighter-like jet that is being crafted as part of his service's Next Generation Air Dominance program, or NGAD, to follow a more traditional and potentially protracted development schedule. Kendall added that a previously proposed and questionably ambitious concept for acquiring new aircraft, focused on the relatively rapid development and purchase of smaller batches of highly adaptable designs, will not work in this case due to the highly complex nature of the design.
