En declaraciones a Europa Press, Jiménez ha instado a que se regulen las actuaciones del sector aeronáutico de la empresas que operan en el país de forma unificada, estableciendo sistemas que permitan cumplir los estándares laborales mínimos en todas las plantas que la empresa tenga en un territorio e incluso sea extensible a las subcontratistas o tercerizadas.

[Electric Aviation] E-Flight Electric Waiex Achieves First Flight
The Sonex Aircraft, LLC E-Flight Initiative proof-of-concept electric-powered Waiex aircraft achieved its first flight today, December 3, 2010 at Wittman Regional Airport in Oshkosh, WI. Piloted by Sonex Founder and E-Flight team leader John Monnett, N270DC made a short hop on runway 27, intended to be a conservative non-pattern flight to break ground-effect and analyze in-flight system performance as the next step in testing. This short flight punctuates four years of development by the E-Flight design team in engineering, building and testing one of the most advanced electric flight packages ever conceived.
“We are very proud of this achievement. The core design team of Pete Buck, Andrew Pearce, John Monnett, and myself would like to thank our staff, families, business partners, and friends in all of their help and understanding through this incredibly challenging project.” Said Jeremy Monnett, CEO and General Manager of Sonex Aircraft. “We have a flight envelope expansion plan and will be working on this in the coming weeks and months. We have also already started our motor v4.0 design and motor controller v12.0 to be integrated on N270DC. Many more great things to come on this project!”
“Every first flight of a new aircraft or powerplant design is an interesting experience,” said John Monnett, “but with N270DC more than any other aircraft we’ve built, I experienced just a glimpse of what the Wright Brothers must have felt like flying an unproven system for the first time. The flight was uneventful, as expected, but it represents a huge emotional victory for our team to check this item off the list.”
Data from today’s flight will be carefully analyzed by the design team and compared to high power ground run data to determine any necessary firmware adjustments before proceeding to full traffic pattern and extended-duration test flights. N270DC is a standard Waiex kit aircraft modified with the installation of proprietary E-Flight electric power components: The E-Flight 54kw brushless DC electric motor, E-Flight electronic motor controller, a 14.5kw-hr lithium polymer battery system, the E-Flight battery management system, and E-Flight cockpit instrumentation and controls.
The E-Flight Initiative electric flight project was first announced to the public at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2007, and many major milestones have been reported in the years to follow as the E-Flight design team worked on this exceedingly challenging project, designing and testing electric power components at the leading-edge of technology. There are many technical obstacles that the team has had to overcome along the way, learning valuable lessons about the technology at each step.

Once empresas españolas se unen en el Proyecto Azimut para desarrollar un aerogenerador marino de 15 MW con tecnología 100% española
- Gamesa coordina el proyecto Azimut. Energía Eólica Offshore 2020, junto con otras 10 empresas, entre las que destacan Alstom Wind, Acciona Windpower, Iberdrola Renovables y Acciona Energía y 22 centros de investigación
- El proyecto, aprobado por el CDTI, organismo del Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación, a través del Programa Cenit, requerirá una inversión de 25 millones de euros para los próximos cuatro años
Once empresas y 22 centros de investigación, especializados en tecnologías para la energía eólica marina (offshore), trabajan juntos en el proyecto Azimut. Energía Eólica Offshore 2020, con el objetivo de generar el conocimiento necesario para desarrollar un aerogenerador marino de gran tamaño, con tecnología 100% española.
En el proyecto, coordinado por Gamesa, participan además, de manera destacada, Alstom Wind, Acciona Windpower, Iberdrola Renovables y Acciona Energía; así como Técnicas Reunidas, Ingeteam, Ingeciber, Imatia, Tecnitest Ingenieros y DIgSILENT Ibérica.
El proyecto Azimut, aprobado por el Centro para el Desarrollo Tecnológico Industrial (CDTI) del Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación, en el marco de la sexta convocatoria de ayudas a la I+D del Programa CENIT (Consorcios Estratégicos Nacionales en Investigación Técnica), requerirá una inversión total de 25 millones de euros en los próximos cuatro años, cofinanciado por las compañías participantes.
La iniciativa, cuya culminación se estima en 2013, pretende sentar las bases tecnológicas para el desarrollo posterior de un aerogenerador offshore de gran tamaño, previsto para 2020. Se han establecido como objetivos preliminares conseguir una potencia unitaria de 15 MW, así como superar las barreras técnicas y económicas que limitan en la actualidad el despliegue de la energía eólica marina. Entre estas, destacan la disponibilidad, las cimentaciones y la evacuación de energía a tierra, con el fin de acercar el coste de la energía eólica marina al de los emplazamientos en tierra.
Respecto a las áreas tecnológicas en las que se centrará el proyecto, Gamesa liderará la captura de energía eólica marina, Acciona Windpower se centrará en las tecnologías de conversión de la energía eléctrica, Alstom Wind, en las de estructuras y subestructuras marinas; Acciona Energía, en las de construcción, operación y mantenimiento en enclaves offshore; e Iberdrola Renovables, en la integración de la eólica offshore en el sistema eléctrico.
Las empresas participantes refuerzan así su apuesta por la I+D en energía eólica marina, como vía para alcanzar el liderazgo tecnológico mundial y contribuir así a una generación de energía renovable fiable, económica y con el máximo respeto al medio ambiente.

Spain to Build World’s Largest Wind Turbine
Spain to Build World’s Largest Wind Turbine
The project, named Azimut, finds Gamesa working with 11 other wind and engineering firms as well as 22 research centers. The supermassive turbine is rumoured to cost €25 million ($33.3 million) and it will be built using 100% Spanish technology. The main partners and participating firms in the development are Alstom Wind, Acciona Windpower, Iberdrola Renovables and Acciona Energía.

Azimut project aims to develop world’s largest capacity wind turbine
Currently, the world’s largest capacity wind turbine is the Enercon E-126, which has a rated capacity of 7.58 MW. It has held that honor since its introduction in 2007, but is under threat of losing the title with a number of 10 MW turbines currently in development – including what was destined to be the world’s biggest wind turbine to be built in Norway. Now a Spanish project has upped the ante with its aim of building an offshore wind turbine with a capacity of 15 MW.
