Aeroflot exigirá compensaciones a Boeing y Sukhoi por retrasar entrega de aviones
La mayor aerolínea rusa, Aeroflot exigirá compensaciones a Boeing y
Sukhoi por retrasar la entrega de aviones Dreamliner y Superjet 100,
comunicó hoy Shamil Kurmashov, subdirector general de esta empresa.
El importe de las multas que Aeroflot podría reclamar a Boeing "ya
supera 100 millones de dólares", precisó Kurmashov tras recordar que
la compañía rusa hizo el pedido para 22 aeronaves Boeing-787
Dreamliner. Podría recibir las dos primeras hacia 2014, de cara a la
Olimpíada de Sochi, y el resto, en 2016.

Paris: A formal financing contract for the A400M European military transport aircraft could be signed by the end of the year, a senior French arms official has said.
"Discussions on a draft amendment have made progress recently," Laurent Collet-Billon told a session of the French National Assembly.
Apache Block III Program: The Once and Future Attack Helicopter
With the collapse of the RAH-66 Comanche program, and rededication of its funding into the ARH-70 Armed Reconnaissance Helicopter (ARH), the UH-145 Light Utility Helicopter (LUH), and other programs, the AH-64 Apache will remain the USA's primary attack helicopter for several more decades.

Boeing Receives US Army Contract for Low Rate Initial Production of AH-64D Apache Block III
The Boeing Company [NYSE: BA] today announced it has received a $247 million contract to begin Low Rate Initial Production (LRIP) for the U.S. Army's AH-64D Apache Block III helicopter, the most advanced multi-role combat helicopter in the world. The contract, signed by the U.S. government on Oct. 22, covers production of eight Apache Block III helicopters in the Lot 1 configuration.
An Acquisition Decision Memorandum signed by the Department of Defense on Oct. 7 authorized the program to enter the LRIP phase to produce 51 aircraft. The first LRIP delivery is scheduled for October 2011.
The Apache Block III helicopter enhances the capabilities of the combat-proven AH-64D Apache by delivering superior flight performance and dramatically increased networked communications capabilities.
"The road map for the Apache Block III program has been clearly defined and the U.S. Army and Boeing are successfully working together to provide these advanced attack helicopters to soldiers in the field," said Lt. Col. Dan Bailey, Apache Block III product manager for the Army.
"Working together throughout the Apache Block III program's system development and demonstration phase since 2006, the Army, Boeing and our industry teammates have achieved our objectives on cost and on schedule," said Scott Rudy, Apache Block III program manager for Boeing. "I'm confident that the team will continue to effectively apply its collective expertise as the program moves into the production phase."
The current Army acquisition objective is for 690 AH-64D Apache Block III aircraft. The helicopters will be assembled, flight tested and delivered from the Boeing Global Strike facility in Mesa.
Key enhancements for aviators will include an improved drive system featuring the 701D engine, composite main rotor blades and a new split-torque face gear transmission, as well as increased networked communications capabilities.
The Apache Block III features open systems architecture and 26 advanced technology improvements, including level 4 unmanned aerial vehicle control for increased situational awareness. This helicopter configuration has already demonstrated the flexibility to rapidly integrate technology changes throughout its service life.
"The Apache Block III helicopter program is the cornerstone of our U.S. Army customer's plan of continued sustainment through modernization," said Tommy Filler, acting vice president, Boeing Apache and AH-6 Programs.

Dos noticias incompatibles sobre las capácidades del ejército del aire, ¿pierden capacidad o no?
El Ejército del Aire prevé mantener su capacidad actual e incluso "mejorarla" con nuevos modelos
http://www.europapress.es/nacional/noticia-ejercito-aire-preve-mantener-capacidad-actual-incluso-mejorarla-nuevos-modelos-20101026211640.html
Dichas fuentes apuntaron que la reducción en el número de tipos de aeronave, que pasará de los 33 actuales a ocho, no afectará a las capacidades del Ejército, ya que están garantizadas con la adquisición de aviones de transporte Airbus A-400 y helicópteros multipropósitos NH-90.
El Ejército del Aire perderá el 80% de sus capacidades por la obsolescencia de sus plataformas en 2025
http://infodefensa.com/esp/noticias/noticias.asp?cod=2760&n=El%20Ej%E9rcito%20del%20Aire%20perder%E1%20el%2080%%20de%20sus%20capacidades%20por%20la%20obsolescencia%20de%20sus%20plataformas%20en%202025
Esta mañana, el asesor de la Subsecretaría de Defensa, teniente general del Ejército del Aire Juan Luis Abad Cellini, apuntó que el Ejército del Aire perdería en 2025 el 80 por ciento de la flota de aeronaves con la que cuenta en la actualidad, debido al fin del ciclo de vida operativo de gran parte de los aparatos de los que dispone a día de hoy.
La industria espacial española se queda fuera de de los contratos principales del Proyecto Galileo
La Comisión Europea ha hecho pública este martes la adjudicación del
cuarto de los seis contratos a través de los que se articulará la
puesta en órbita de Galileo: la constelación europea de satélites que
pretende rivalizar con el GPS estadounidense. El contrato recién
adjudicado confirma que el sistema europeo de navegación por satélite
es un coto privado de la industria aeroespacial de Alemania, Francia e
Italia, en el que las empresas españolas se tendrán que conformar con
rebuscar entre las migajas.
El Gobierno español apostó
mhttp://www.infodefensa.com/noticias/imgs/galileo_satelites.jpguy
fuerte por Galileo desde su inicio. De hecho, en la fase de
desarrollo, dirigida por la Agencia Espacial Europea (ESA), el
Ministerio de Industria aportó el 10,4% de la financiación total (más
de 1.000 millones), para garantizar un retorno industrial semejante.
En esta primera etapa, España consiguió contratos cercanos a los 100
millones de euros, que capitalizaron compañías como Indra o GMV, junto
a otras firmas como Thales Alenia Space España, GSS, EADS Astrium
Crisa, DEIMOS Sapce, Mier, Sener y RIMSA.
Sin embargo, en enero España quedó fuera de las grandes
adjudicaciones, mientras que Alemania, Francia e Italia lograron los
principales contratos, por valor de 1.000 millones. Se adjudicaron
contratos a Thales Alenia Space -85 millones de euros- la alemana OHB
System -566 millones de euros- y la francesa Arianespace -397 millones
de euros.
Simulation, Detection and Experimental Correlation of Material Damage, Fracture and Fatigue. Seminar Programme: 03 November 2010
The International Association for the Engineering Analysis Community
Engineers rely on computer modelling and simulation methods and tools as vital components of the product development process. As these methods develop at an ever-increasing pace, the need for an independent, international authority on the use of this technology has never been more apparent.
NAFEMS is the only worldwide independent association dedicated to FEA and CFD.
Companies from numerous industries and every part of the globe have invested heavily in engineering technologies such as Finite Element Analysis and Computational Fluid Dynamics.
- But how do they ensure they get the best return from their investment?
- How do they develop and enhance their capabilities?
- How do they know they are using the technology in the most effective way?
NAFEMS is uniquely placed to help answer these questions.
NAFEMS is an association of more than 800 companies and academic institutions worldwide. Members range from major global corporations through mid-sized organizations to small-scale engineering consultants.
If you work with simulation, you should be part of NAFEMS.
