USAF's F-35A completes first in-flight weapon release
USAF's F-35A completes first in-flight weapon release: Lockheed Martin has successfully completed the first in-flight weapons test for the F-35A Lightning II conventional takeoff and landing (CTOL) aircraft at the Naval Air Weapons Station (NAWS) China Lake test range in California, US.
India to Cut Stealth Fighter Order by Third
India is cutting its order for a fifth-generation stealth fighter being developed jointly with Russia by a third, India's Air Chief Marshal N A K Browne told India Strategic.
India will now order just 144 of the fighters, all single-seat models, Browne said, down from an originally-intended batch of around 200, including 48 two-seaters.
The original figure, of 200 aircraft, would have been possible if the aircraft was ready by 2017, with the first batch coming from Russian production lines. But India now wants to take on a greater share of development, pushing back the production date for the Indian variant, which is likely to be 2020 at the earliest.

Nissan to offer drive-by-wire technology on select Infiniti models
Nissan to offer drive-by-wire technology on select Infiniti models:
As much as computers have permeated our lives, some things have remained old-fashioned. Just look at automobiles. Despite the presence of computer diagnostic systems, and built-in support for iPods, smartphones, and Siri, modern cars still largely rely on mechanical technology. Nissan is trying to change that, with drive-by-wire steering tech that has been long in development, but slow in real-world implementation...

El Gobierno convoca ayudas al sector aeroespacial (publicado en el BOE)
El Gobierno convoca ayudas al sector aeroespacial:
La finalidad de estas ayudas es potenciar actividades estratégicas, claves para acelerar la evolución de los sectores manufacturero, automoción y aeroespacial hacia nuevos modelos de producción más avanzados, eficientes y respetuosos con el medio ambiente y hacia nuevos productos de más valor añadido, que reduzcan el impacto ambiental durante su ciclo de vida y que mejoren su seguridad, contribuyendo con ello a la generación o, al menos, al mantenimiento del empleo.

Lufthansa to unify standards on future aircraft orders
LH hopes to bundle the interests of its airlines—LH, Austrian Airlines, Swiss International Air Lines, Brussels Airlines and Air Dolomiti—and find a common denominator to place one single order and negotiate more favorable terms and conditions for aircraft, including the Airbus A320neo family, Bombardier CSeries, the Boeing 787 or the A350.

El proyecto del Aeródromo del Sureste se reactivará en cuanto se ponga en marcha el plan de Eurovegas. Y cierre de Cuatro Vientos
El proyecto del Aeropuerto del Sureste, que la Comunidad de Madrid quiere poner en marcha entre los municipios de El Álamo y Navalcarnero, será una de las infraestructuras que se reactivarán en el caso de que Las Vegas Sandsdesarrolle su plan de Eurovegas en la región, tal y como ya ha confirmado la propia compañía.
Fuentes del Gobierno regional han explicado que este futuro aeródromo albergaría aviación de negocios (con aviones de pequeño tamaño), algo que hasta ahora se venía haciendo en la base aérea de Torrejón de Ardoz, así como la escuela de vuelos, que se desarrolla en Cuatro Vientos y cuya eliminación responde a una demanda histórica de los vecinos de Carabanchel.*

Carbon nanotube composite material could replace carbon fiber
Carbon nanotube composite material could replace carbon fiber:
When people need a material that’s strong yet lightweight, they usually look to carbon fiber. In the near future, however, they may instead choose to go with composite materials made from stretched carbon nanotubes. These materials could theoretically offer the same strength as carbon fiber at one-tenth the weight, or the same weight at ten times the strength. Researchers from North Carolina State University have recently succeeded in creating such a composite... Continue Reading Carbon nanotube composite material could replace carbon fiber
