Sasol takes to the skies with the world’s first fully synthetic jet fuel
Lanseria, Johannesburg – Sasol, the world’s leading producer of synthetic fuels from coal and natural gas, today flew the world’s first passenger aircraft exclusively using the company’s own-developed and internationally approved fully synthetic jet fuel.
The fuel, produced by Sasol’s proprietary Coal to Liquids (CTL) process, is the world’s only fully synthetic jet fuel to have received international approval as a commercial aviation turbine fuel.
Sanctioned by the global aviation fuel specification authorities the jet fuel is the first fully synthetic fuel to be approved for use in commercial airliners. This marks a significant development in the adoption of clean burning alternate fuels for the aviation industry. The engine-out emissions of Sasol’s synthetic jet fuel, are lower than those from jet fuel derived from crude oil, due to its limited sulphur content.
The historic flights, from Lanseria Airport in Gauteng to Cape Town, kicked-off Sasol’s 60th birthday celebrations, by staging a fly-past at the opening of the Africa Aerospace and Defense (AAD) 2010 exhibition at Cape Town’s Ysterplaat Air Force Base.
Speaking from the air force base, where he landed on one of the inaugural flights, Sasol Chief executive, Pat Davies, said the event was a fitting manner to celebrate the company’s diamond anniversary.
"The development and approval of this fuel is a testament to Sasol’s 60 years of technical innovation and is an important milestone in the company’s history. The approval by the international aviation fuel authorities, of this product, recognises the need to develop aviation fuel from feedstocks other than crude-oil, in order to meet the world’s growing needs", Davies said.
"Sasol’s advances in synthetic fuel technology have brought us even closer to integrating viable alternate transportation fuel into the energy mix", he said. In 1998, Sasol became the first company in the world to gain approval for the commercial use of a 50% synthetic jet fuel component, which was blended with petroleum kerosene. To date, most of the aircraft leaving O.R Tambo International Airport have flown using Sasol’s semi-synthetic jet fuel.
Spurred on by the world’s growing need for alternative fuels, Sasol continued with years of extensive test work and research that culminated in the production of the 100% synthetic jet fuel.
In 2008, international aviation fuel authorities, including the United Kingdom Ministry of Defence (UK MoD), governing the Defence Standard DEFSTAN 91-91, approved Sasol’s wholly synthetic jet fuel as Jet A-1 fuel, for commercial use in all types of turbine aircraft.
Managing director of Sasol Technology, Willem Louw, said the approval process was stringent.
"A number of aviation stakeholders, including airframe, engine and ancillary equipment manufacturers; airlines and aviation authorities such as the International Air Transport Association (IATA); and relevant oil companies, were involved in the approval of this fuel", he said.
"While this has been a long journey, the delivery of a viable alternate jet fuel solution that meets with the strict specifications of global aviation authorities, is a proud acknowledgement of the enormous talent and expertise within the Sasol Technology business", he said.
The fuel is fully fungible and aligned with the current aviation infrastructure through its compatibility with the existing engine requirements and can be used with conventional crude oil-derived jet fuelling systems.
"Through Sasol’s advanced technology and our innovative spirit, we have delivered a world first and, as we enter our 60th year, we look forward to the many innovations that lie ahead", Davies said.
Sasol’s exhibit at AAD 2010 showcases the company’s fascinating innovative developments over the past 60 years and is open to the public from 21-25 September.

Orion Spacecraft on the Path to Future Flight
Production Operations Now Under Way at Kennedy Space Center
CAPE CANAVERAL, FL , September 21st, 2010 -- Preparations for Orion’s first mission in 2013 are well under way as a Lockheed Martin-led crew begins lean assembly pathfinding operations for the spacecraft. The crew is conducting simulated manufacturing and assembly operations with a full-scale Orion mockup to verify the tools, processes and spacecraft integration procedures work as expected.
As the nation’s next generation spacecraft for human spaceflight, the Orion crew exploration vehicle is designed to support missions to the International Space Station and far beyond into deep space. The Orion spacecraft will be fully assembled and integrated on site in the Operations & Checkout (O&C) Facility at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center (KSC) in Florida, a capability that provides significant time and cost savings.
“The unique benefit of this complete on-site operation is that we will build the spacecraft and then move it directly onto the launch vehicle at KSC, which saves the government transportation costs associated with tests and checkout prior to launch,” said Lockheed Martin Orion Deputy Program Manager for production operations Richard Harris. “This capability also facilitates the KSC workforce transition efforts by providing new job opportunities for those employees completing their shuttle program assignments.”
Dubbed the “the spacecraft factory of the future”, the O&C, underwent a two-year renovation effort led by Lockheed Martin with support from Space Florida and NASA. The collaborative effort created a state-of-the-art complex designed with the flexibility to support NASA’s next generation spacecraft fleet.
Orion Spacecraft on the Path to Future Flight - 2
Technical innovations incorporated into the O&C include 90,000 square feet of air-bearing floor space, paperless work stations, a portable clean room system, and specialized lifting/lowering and support tools that were designed by United Space Alliance (USA). Specially designed air-bearing pallets will enable a small crew to effortlessly maneuver spacecraft hardware across the factory floor. The building renovation also incorporated modern energy efficient HVAC and electrical systems which will further enhance cost savings for the life cycle of the facility.
With the help of an advanced crane that can position the spacecraft within millimeters of its target, the crew module, heat shield and service module will be integrated in tooling stations located on the O&C’s factory floor. These tooling stations are portable and will be moved to various Orion facilities around the country to provide low-cost and affordable vehicle processing on the Orion project.
The industry team supporting O&C tooling station operations include Lockheed Martin, USA and EMF, Inc. a small business based in Merritt Island, Fla., that built the tooling station and support pallets.
According to EMF Vice President Jeff Flick, the Orion program has been a “bright spot” in the space industry. “As a small business owner that supports NASA and the Department of Defense, I believe it is critical for our country to retain the unique skill mix of expertise that supports key national programs such as human space flight and defense initiatives.”
Lockheed Martin is the prime contractor to NASA for the Orion Project and leads the industry team that includes major subcontractors as well as a network of minor subcontractors and small businesses working at 88 facilities in 28 states. In addition, the program contracts with more than 500 small businesses across the United States through its expansive supply chain network.
Headquartered in Bethesda, Md., Lockheed Martin (LMT: NYSE) is a global security company that employs about 136,000 people worldwide and is principally engaged in the research, design, development, manufacture, integration and sustainment of advanced technology systems, products and services. The Corporation reported 2009 sales of $45.2 billion. http://www.lockheedmartin.com

XCOR Completes Lynx Supersonic Wind Tunnel Tests at NASA Marshall Space Flight Center
September 20, 2010, Mojave, CA and Huntsville, AL: XCOR Aerospace, Inc. announced today they have completed the primary supersonic wind tunnel testing of the Lynx suborbital spacecraft. The tests were performed at NASA Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) using a precision scale model and demonstrated the integrity of the Lynx aerodynamic shape and provided data to make final refinements to the vehicle. These new data provide confidence that the Lynx aerodynamic shape will have stable and controllable flight throughout the range of Mach numbers and angles of attack needed for the Lynx mission.
The recent tests add to subsonic wind tunnel testing data obtained by XCOR late last year at the Air Force Research Laboratory in Dayton. As part of a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA), XCOR, NASA and the Air Force will all benefit from the data. The tests are a joint effort between XCOR and the AFRL’s Air Vehicles Directorate.
Lynx is a two-seat, single-stage winged suborbital vehicle that lifts off from a runway powered by non-toxic, reusable rocket engines. The vehicle can carry safely to the edge of space and back a pilot, one spaceflight participant, and engineering and scientific payloads. The Lynx can be flown up to four times a day with minimal touch labor between flights.
“We continue to make excellent progress on the Lynx aerodynamic shape,” said XCOR CEO Jeff Greason. “The tests at MSFC gave us live information about the aerodynamic profile of the Lynx in transonic and supersonic flows, which occur during ascent and re-entry. We greatly appreciate the warm welcome and support we received at Marshall.”
The trisonic wind tunnel at MSFC, which also tested the Jupiter C, Saturn family, and Space Shuttle, evaluates the integrity and stability of rockets and launch vehicles with subsonic, transonic, and supersonic wind flows.
“Commercial space companies such as XCOR can benefit from NASA’s extensive facilities and experienced staff, while NASA benefits from the data generated by innovative designs such as the Lynx spacecraft and interaction with the US commercial space industry,” said Jeff Greason.
Andrew Nelson, XCOR COO added, “These tests complete another milestone toward delivering wet-lease Lynx vehicles and provide a great example of how government and commercial space entrepreneurs can work together to invigorate American industry and rebuild the Tier 2 and Tier 3 aerospace supplier base in our country.”

US Senator seeks to bind KC-X decision to illegal subsidies
http://www.flightglobal.com/articles/2010/09/21/347642/us-senator-seeks-to-bind-kc-x-decision-to-illegal-subsidies.html
Illegal subsidies would have to be factored into the US Air Force selection process for the KC-X tanker contract if Congress passes legislation proposed today by a Washington-based lawmaker.
Senator Patty Murray, a Democrat, introduced the proposal as an amendment to the Senate version of the National Defense Authorization Act of 2011.
If passed, the bill would require the USAF to "consider any unfair competitive advantage" in the KC-X acquisition process.

EADS es ya un socio reconocido de la “Ecole Centrale de Paris” y está implicado en los proyectos de investigación y educación de la red de la “Ecole Centrale”. La nueva asociación con la ECPk tiene dos objetivos: Primero, reunir talentos y especialistas que cubran las necesidades de la empresa en China y, segundo, seguir aumentando la cooperación en la investigación. Asimismo, la asociación permite a EADS implicar a los estudiantes de doctorado chinos en proyectos de investigación y acceder a un nuevo centro tecnológico de investigación conjunto.
“China representa un mercado estratégicamente importante para EADS, lo que demuestran nuestras actuales operaciones”, afirmó el CTO Jean Botti. “Vale la pena fomentar una mayor cooperación en educación, y la ‘Ecole Centrale de Pekín’ puede apoyarnos para conseguir este propósito”.
Jean Dorey, Director de la ECPk, aseveró lo siguiente: “EADS está constantemente desarrollando sus actividades en el mercado chino y los estudiantes graduados por la “Ecole Centrale de Pekin” pueden aportar al Grupo los talentos necesarios para abordar los retos interculturales que tiene que afrontar en este país asiático. Además, la sólida formación en aeronáutica que nuestros estudiantes pueden adquirir a través del conocimiento de la BUAA y las “Ecoles Centrales” en esta materia beneficiará a EADS. Además de querer formar a ingenieros de alto nivel, ya hemos empezado a trabajar junto con EADS en proyectos de investigación”.
La “Ecole Centrale de Pekin” es una de las escuelas centrales de graduados conocida como red “Intergroupe des écoles centrales” junto con sus instituciones hermanas en las ciudades francesas de París, León, Lille, Nantes y Marsella. La “Ecole Centrale de Paris”, la institución más vieja de esta red, es una institución de estudios universitarios especializada en el campo de la ingeniería. Fundada en 1829, es una de las escuelas de ingeniería más prestigiosas de Francia. La “Ecole Centrale de Pekin” se fundó en el año 2005.
EADS y sus empresas antecesoras llevan activas en China desde hace varias décadas. Con el paso de los años, el Grupo ha fundado numerosas empresas conjuntas y ha expandido su presencia en el país a través de sociedades industriales. Entre las iniciativas de perfil más alto, se encuentra la Línea de Montaje Final de Airbus para aviones de pasillo único en Tianjin; y la sociedad de Eurocopter con la corporación China Aeronautics Industries Group Corp. (AVIC) para el desarrollo del helicóptero EC175.
EADS ha establecido una red de investigación global y tecnológica denominada Innovation Works. A parte de sus principales sedes en Munich y París, también dispone de sedes en España (Getafe), Reino Unido (Newport), Francia (Toulouse y Nantes), Alemania (Hamburgo), Singapur, India (Bangalore) y Rusia (Moscú). En total, la red internacional de EADS Innovation Works tiene más de 600 empleados.

Approval of biofuels for use in aircraft, expected by mid-2011, is a critical step. A standard for jet fuels using synthesized hydrocarbons has already been crafted and the first annex, covering synthetic paraffinic kerosene (SPK) produced via the Fischer-Tropsch (F-T) process, was approved last year. But a second annex covering bio-SPKs—also called hydrotreated renewable jet fuel (HRJ)—is eagerly awaited, as these promise to reduce aviation’s greenhouse-gas emissions (see p. 60).
