The A350 XWB is readied for static testing

Airbus’ A350 XWB static test airframe has moved into the facility where it will undergo testing to validate the structural design of this next-generation jetliner.

The airframe rolled out of the A350 XWB final assembly line at Toulouse, Blagnac Airport earlier this week and was transferred to the L34 static test hall situated across the airport in the Lagardère industrial zone – home to the A380 final assembly line.

This clears the way for the A350 XWB airframe to be integrated into a test rig for a campaign that will submit it to nearly a year of evaluations, including limit load and ultimate load validations, along with residual strength and margin research.

The L34 static test hall covers an area of 10,000 square meters, and is supported by 200 workers during peak testing activity. It houses a rig that incorporates 2,500 tons of steel and 240 jacks/loading lines, which are used to induce structural loads. The testing is recorded by some 12,000 sensors.

The static test airframe was the first to be built on the A350 XWB’s new Roger Béteille final assembly line in Toulouse, and was the “star” during Airbus’ inauguration ceremony for this production facility in October. The airframe is sized to represent the A350-900 version of Airbus’ newest jetliner family, which is the intermediate aircraft of the three fuselage-length versions: the A350-800, A350-900 and A350-1000.

NASA Scientists Find Similarities In Formation Of Mars And Earth

NASA Scientists Find Similarities In Formation Of Mars And Earth: But Their Evolution Has Been Very Different A team of NASA scientists and their colleagues have found evidence from meteorites that Mars and Earth had a similar origin, but then the two planets evolved quite differently. Based on their analyses of two Martian meteorites, researchers in the Astromaterials Research and Exploration Science Directorate at NASA's Johnson Space Center have concluded that water in the Martian interior originated from planetary building blocks similar to those that formed Earth.

ALA replica a Aena: '¿se cumplió o no la normativa comunitaria y española?':
.

“Para nosotros la cuestión a determinar es si se aplicó o no la directiva comunitaria y la Ley de Seguridad Aérea en el proceso de revisión de las prestaciones patrimoniales para el año 2012. Todo lo que se no sea contestar a esa pregunta, supone no contestar a las preguntas que ALA formuló a la Comisión Europea y que ésta ha tenido a bien formular al Gobierno de España”, dice la asociación en su comunicado.

Puzzlebox Orbit brain-controlled helicopter is flying into production

For the last few years, Puzzlebox has been publishing open source software and hacking guides that walk makers through the modification of RC helicopters so that they can be flown and controlled using just the power of the mind. Full systems have also been custom built to introduce youngsters to brain-computer interfaces and neuroscience. The group is about to take the project to the next stage by making a Puzzlebox Orbit brain-controlled helicopter available to the public, while encouraging user experimentation by making all the code, schematics, 3D models, build guides and other documentation freely available under an open-source license.

OPVs: Inside Firebird

Inside Firebird:
The whole concept of an optionally piloted vehicle (OPV) poses interesting questions about how to design the cockpit displays. For a single-seat OPV, when the pilot is simply flying the UAV from one place to another, then a baseline general aviation type configuration is probably adequate. However for the more ambitious two-seat OPV which puts a sensor/weapons systems operator in the right seat, then it is a whole different story.
