Check out this touchdown-worthy article! ?? If you’re fascinated by large aircraft and football, this one’s for you. Bruce Busler, our Joint Distribution Process Analysis Center director, tackles explaining the strategic airlift capabilities of the C-5 through clever sports analogies.

As an enterprise with so many capabilities it can be difficult to sum up how we all work together. That's why we love this clip of Jim Huff as he explains how it relates to a Kais-AIR? air handling unit. #KaiserEnterprise #VerticalIntegration #TurnKeyTeam #MSUCareerFair #MSU

Say it louder for the people in the back! Think about what she is saying, would you reduce the number of hydraulic systems because you can do it all with one? How about the number of electrical systems? Pressurization systems, surely one of those can go right? You wouldn’t reduce safety anywhere else, so why do it in the flight deck?! #twopilotminimum #aviationsafety

Technology and automation are amazing tools for flight crews to safely operate thousands of flights every day. But when that technology fails, would you really want only one pilot on the flight deck? Even when the technology is functioning properly, each pilot acts as a cross check for the other, and both cross check the automation, making sure every flight is safe. And as demonstrated so many times, when things go wrong, two pilots (and sometimes more) are the difference between a successful failure and disaster.

Did anybody manage to get over to Southport for the airshow this weekend? Anybody going to Farnborough? What about RIAT? Our CEO Jerrod Hartley has featured in the Aerospace Magazine Farnborough Edition, and it's well worth a read if you have a bit of time, and although he won't be in personal attendance at Farnborough, he will be down in Fairford for the Royal International Air Tattoo (RIAT 2024) at the end of the week. https://lnkd.in/ek-UQhJK An airshow is a great opportunity to stand back and appreciate why we do what we do. Seeing these great machines in action is impressive, but also an opportunity for reflection. It wasn't really that long ago since Wilbur and Orville Wright created the first successful heavier than air flying machine, the Wright Flyer, in 1903, where it achieved a powered flight of 59 seconds covering a distance of 259 metres. It's incredible how far we've come in a relatively short space of time, with modern aircraft with incredible safety and performance profiles. Take the Eurofighter Typhoon for example, which entered service way back in 2003, with some mightily impressive stats: Top speed - Mach 2.0 (approx. 1,550 mph) Ceiling - 55,000 feet Climb Rate - 0 to 36,000 feet in under 90 seconds Acceleration - subsonic to Mach 1.5 in under 30 seconds Thrust - 40,000 lb (equivalent to the weight of over 13 VW Golfs) So, here's to all the hard work, dedication, creative thinking, and human ingenuity that have driven our progress over the past several hundred years. Let's also toast to the future, where we will continue to push boundaries and overcome new challenges with the same dedication and vigour. While the challenges of the future may differ from those of the past, our approach remains steadfast and committed to innovation and excellence. What's your favourite aircraft and why?

A few years ago I took this photo?at an Italian Air Force Airshow at Pratica di Mare: an incredible event. The very high level of technology, the elegance in flight, the incredible performance... these machines are a sight to behold. But what would they be without adequate logistical support? Let's talk about CLOS and why the Collaborative Logistics Optimization System is the game-changer for logistical support for fighters. https://lnkd.in/d9FDat4x

Hey everyone, check out this insightful article about the latest happenings in the aircraft industry! The Farnborough airshow has been a hot spot for industry leaders to discuss the current supply chain challenges. It's a fascinating read and sheds light on the high-flying world of aviation. #AircraftIndustry #FarnboroughAirshow #SupplyChainChallenges https://ift.tt/Qu5Lbvg

WestJet and the Air Line Pilots Association, International (ALPA), the union representing WestJet Encore pilots, have successfully negotiated a new tentative agreement, averting a potential strike that was set to begin on June 1.
