Les costó 15 intentos conseguirlo, pero los 138 paracaidistas lograron una formación de copo de nieve en caída libre, a velocidades hasta de 220 millas por hora, sobre Ottawa, al suroeste de Chicago
Esta formación, con tantas personas, se considera muy peligrosa, y debido a la altitud del salto (18500ft) los paracaidistas (que iban en 6 aviones distintos) necesitaban oxígeno.
El anterior record fue establecido en 2009. Además de los 138 paracaidistas, saltaron 4 cámaras, que no formaban parte de la formación, y que grabaron el salto para que el record pudiera ser validado por los jueces de la FAI.

The agreement also includes the establishment of an Embraer local spare parts distribution center in Johannesburg, serving ERJ 145 family customers in the region.
"We are very pleased to reinforce our long established partnership with Airlink, which has been an ERJ 135 jets operator since 2001. With their extensive experience on Embraer aircraft, Airlink will play an important role in supporting the growing fleet of Company aircraft in Africa. This new partnership will bring high standards of maintenance, repair and operation services, along with spare parts inventories, close to our current and future customers in the region," said Johann Bordais, Vice President Support & Services, Europe Middle-East & Africa, Commercial Aviation.
Both maintenance and distribution centres will be located at Airlink facilities, at Johannesburg O.R. Tambo International Airport. This unique logistics platform in South Africa provides valued additional warehouse capacity, complementing Embraer's existing Distribution Center in France and improving the parts and components availability and delivery process, especially in AOG (Aircraft on Ground) situations, throughout the African Continent.
In addition to this Service Center, Embraer is improving its training capacity in the region with the introduction of a new flight simulator for the ERJ 145 family in partnership with FlightSafety.
"We see strong growth opportunities in African markets and are swiftly investing in expanding our customer support presence in the region based on three platforms: MRO, spare parts and training," said Mathieu Duquesnoy, Vice President Middle-East & Africa – Commercial Aviation. "The Embraer ERJ 145 and the E-Jet Families have received a positive reception in this region and we see a strong potential for 70 to 120-seat aircraft. Our pledge is not only to offer state of the art, reliable aircraft, but, more importantly, strong and local support to our customers."
Lockheed Martin [NYSE: LMT] Procerus Technologies' new small vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) unmanned aircraft system gives warfighters, first responders and others in small, cluttered, urban environments an eye-in-the-sky in just minutes.
The rugged, five-pound VTOL quad rotor, dual-sensor platform features an extended hover, perch and stare capability that provides military, civil and commercial customers with aerial reconnaissance in crowded areas unreachable by fixed-wing unmanned aircraft systems. The VTOL's gimbal mount includes electro-optical and infrared sensors and a laser illuminator to provide continuous 360-degree panning capability.
"We are leveraging years of experience in building small, innovative avionics and payload technologies to develop an affordable and efficient VTOL solution," said Todd Titensor, senior manager of Lockheed Martin Procerus Technologies. "Our system is quiet, can operate day or night in challenging weather conditions and has longer operating time than other VTOL platforms."
Equipped with the Lockheed Martin Procerus Technologies' proven Kestrel 3 autopilot, the compact, lightweight VTOL can be deployed in minutes and operate for up to 40 minutes. The collapsible VTOL platform folds into a man-packable unit that requires no tools for assembly.
The VTOL system includes a wireless hand controller, which provides an easy-to-use interface for intuitive, untethered vehicle operation. For full ground control station capabilities, the Virtual Cockpit v3.0 features a user-friendly 3-D map interface, powerful mission planning tools, in-flight re-tasking and full waypoint navigation.
The VTOL also can land and gather surveillance data from a remote location and then take off and return home.
Acquired in January 2012, Lockheed Martin Procerus Technologies is the developer of the Kestrel™ Autopilot avionics and Virtual Cockpit™ system for fixed-wing and rotary aircraft. Additional products include small vertical take-off and landing platforms and OnPoint OnBoard™ vision systems for target tracking, stabilization, geo-location and terminal guidance applications.
SEATTLE, Aug 3, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Boeing (NYSE: BA) announced Friday that Xiamen Airlines has agreed to purchase 40 Boeing Next-Generation 737-800s. The airline plans to use the airplanes for more international routes to meet growing passenger traffic in Asia-Pacific and China.
The order, which is valued at $3.5 billion at list prices, requires Chinese Government approval and Boeing will work with Xiamen Airlines to obtain approval. After that time the order will be posted to Boeing's Orders & Deliveries website.
"Xiamen Airlines is a valued customer of The Boeing Company and we are delighted that Xiamen has decided to add to their expanding Next-Generation 737 fleet," said Ihssane Mounir, vice president of Sales and Marketing for Greater China and Korea, Boeing Commercial Airplanes. "This commitment from one of the fastest growing airlines in the world is a testament to the world's best-selling airplane and the many advantages the Next-Generation 737 provides to the airline and its passengers."
Xiamen Airlines currently operates an all-Boeing fleet of six 757 airplanes and 77 Next-Generation 737 airplanes. The carrier plans to grow its operational fleet to 200 airplanes by the end of year 2020.
The Next-Generation 737 is the most fuel-efficient and reliable single-aisle airplane today with an 8 percent per-seat operating cost advantage over the nearest competitor. Known for its reliability, fuel efficiency and economical performance, the 737-800 is selected by leading carriers throughout the world because it provides operators the flexibility to serve a wide range of markets. The 737, the gold standard of single-aisle jetliners, can seat 162 passengers in dual class and up to 189 passengers in a high density configuration. It can fly 175 nautical miles (320 kilometers) farther and consume up to 7 percent less fuel while carrying 12 more passengers than the competing model.
Xiamen-based Xiamen Airlines is a privately-owned subsidiary of China Southern Airlines.
Airbus Military has signed a cooperation agreement with the Ministry of Economy and various Portuguese industrial companies in fulfilment of the commitments arising from the sale of a fleet of twelve C295 aircraft for the Portuguese Air Force. These agreements, with a value of several hundred million euros, will boost the Portuguese aerospace industry and strengthen the commitment of Airbus Military to Portugal.
On 1 August an agreement was signed in Lisbon with the Portuguese Ministry of Defence and Ministry of Economy that specified the details of the cooperation framework with Portuguese industrial companies. The agreements confirm that the assembly and production of the central part of the fuselage of the C295 will remain with OGMA, and that technical publications and the development of an improved MITS will be subcontracted to EMPORDEF-TI. GMV Portugal will develop an integrated modular avionics demonstrator and provide training courses for the Brazilian Air Force.
At the same time a Memorandum of Understanding was signed with the Portuguese company Salvador Caetano: it includes three work packages, tools, mechanisation and composite materials, with both parties sharing the investment, and will introduce the Portuguese company to the aeronautical sector.
"This agreement is of strategic importance for the company and will permit us to complement our traditional partner in Portugal, OGMA, with whom we share a long history of cooperation," emphasised the CEO of Airbus Military, Domingo Ureña-Raso.
The Portuguese Air Force is an outstanding client of Airbus Military. At present its fleet includes 12 C295, seven of which are the transport version, and the remaining five are for maritime patrols.
