Here’s a recap of the other relevant news for #civilaviation: ??During #ICAS2024 in Florence, ATR revealed additional details on the future #hybridelectric aircraft that should be replace the current ATR 72-600 in the 2030s. The design should achieve -20% CO2, -20% maintenance and the capability of running on 100% SAF. The “mildly hybridized” solution was preferred over #batteries (too heavy) and #hydrogen (lower emissions, but not mature and sacrificing the passenger capacity). In the chosen solution, the battery pack should provide 10-20% power split, working during take-off and climb. More info in the article by Guy Norris (Aviation Week). ??There’s again a lot of rumours about Boeing and its #797 Midsize Aircraft. The new aircraft should replace the previous 757-767 and fill the gap between the smaller Boeing 737 Max family and the larger Boeing 787 Dreamliner family. With an expected request of up to 4000 jets, it should be a good application for the next Pratt & Whitney or GE Aviation/CFM International. However, no official announcement is there yet, with Boeing just confirming that the upcoming new aircraft will be built in Washington (where some strikes are ongoing). ?? Heart Aerospace has unveilved its first full-scale flying demonstrator (HX-1), which should lead the company to the hybrid-electric ES-30, announced two years ago. The HX-1 will fly solely on electric power and will be followedin 2026 by HX-2, a pre-production #hybridelectric prototype with separate turboprops and electric engines. The certification of the ES-30 is expected for 2028. ?? Beyond Aero, the Toulouse-based?stratup, shared its plans for fuel cell-powered business jets. Three aircraft are expected to enter into service from 2020s to 2040s, progressively increasing the size and seat capacity. The smaller product (One, 6-8 PAX) should feature 4 #fuelcell stacks with 300 kW each, two electric ducted fans and composite-material 700-bar hydrogen tanks (despite the company is planning to move to liquid hydrogen). A small demonstrator already took off in Feb 2023 completing 10 flights.

The TriFan 600 will be certified for VTOL operations using helipads, roads, grass patches, parking lots, runways - wherever it's safe and legal. With its ability to cruise at up to 345 mph (555 kph) and operate in inclement weather, it will offer an expanded array of operational possibilities for customers.

The TriFan 600 is a cross between a helicopter and a fixed-wing airplane. The result: new capabilities for regional transportation that deliver point-to-point time savings, increased efficiency, and more.

Fascinating history and review of the amazing engineering that made the Grumman F-14 Tomcat possible and the forward-thinking engineering that allowed it to overcome some of its initial limitations. Ever wanted an easy-to-understand explanation why F-14s were notorious for the #TopGun flat spin? Watch the 30-minute dive into the F-14: https://lnkd.in/gmh53CPE Similar to the major features described, Today's warfighters rely on the best engineering, manufacturing, and quality available: 1. Criticality of the wingbox - made stronger and lighter with EBW 2. The most advanced long-range missile and radar of the time by Hughes Aircraft Company and then Raytheon 3. The complexity of feeding hungry engines with the right kind of air at all airspeeds 4. Replacing original propulsion with the advanced GE Aerospace F-110 5. The electromagnetic rail system on #NAVY Carriers deserves its own post When it comes to ensuring sequence and manufacturing best practice at all times you could double your workforce and double or triple the time to execute... Alternatively #DELMIA #Augmented #Experience can be your digital companion, adapted to any workflow by any user - Making the difference between a smooth flight and a flat spin. Just as it is in the air, modern manufacturing demands all critical instructions and inspection criteria is kept in absolute context to the real physical object. For example at Safran not a single #LEAP engine leaves the factory without their digital AR companion evaluating all critical features across hundreds of configurations: https://lnkd.in/gZ4pXjfE https://lnkd.in/gPkv6uC8 #DELMIA #AugmentedExperience for absolute: - Assembly - Quality - Traceability

A report by SAAB RBS predicts that 10?per cent of worldwide emissions could come from flying. Yet, if the aerospace industry adopts electric propulsion, this figure could remain steady at two-to-five per cent. However, electric aircraft systems present their own challenges — especially when it comes to mitigating electrical currents. Here, Chris Johnson, managing director of bearing specialist SMB Bearings, examines why industrial bearings plus right choice of lubricant will also be essential in tomorrow’s electrified aircraft systems.

09/12/24: Russian electronic systems specialist KRET has completed the development of the autopilot and autothrust alogrithms for the SJ-100. The news was revealed by FlightGlobal during the past few hours. The twinjet is the latest version of the Superjet 100 and includes a bigger proportion of Russian produced systems which replace Western-sourced components.
