NAVAL AIR: J-15 Arrives
NAVAL AIR: J-15 ArrivesOctober 29, 2012: The Chinese carrier fighter, the J-15, appears ready for production. One was recently seen making touch and go landings on the new carrier Liaoning. Several J-15s have been seen at navy air bases painted as combat, not development, aircraft. About twenty J-15s have been built so far for use in testing.
For most of the last decade China has been developing the J-15, which is a carrier version of the Russian Su-27. There is already a Russian version of this, called the Su-33. Russia refused to sell Su-33s to China, when it was noted that China was making illegal copies of the Su-27 (as the J-11), and did not want to place a big order for Su-33s, but only wanted two, for "evaluation." China eventually got a Su-33 from Ukraine in 2001, which inherited some when the Soviet Union dissolved in 1991.

'El control aéreo debe modernizarse y convertirse cuanto antes en espacio único'
Luxemburgo.- El sistema de control del tráfico aéreo europeo debe modernizarse cuanto antes y debería convertirse en un espacio aéreo único; de esta manera, se reduciría la congestión, el retraso de los vuelos y las emisiones contaminantes, ha dicho el Parlamento Europeo en su resolución adoptada el pasado martes, según la ponente Jacqueline Foster.

La gran carrera espacial militar China
El crecimiento político, económico y militar que, de forma paulatina, ha tenido China durante los diez últimos años, ha puesto nerviosos a países de la órbita occidental. Particularmente en el área espacial, China está volcando un gran esfuerzo económico que da como resultado importantes avances tecnológicos. Este artículo pretende discutir sobre las difusas intenciones del Gobierno chino respecto a su veloz carrera espacial, relacionada con su actual escuela de pensamiento militar, con la influencia que la política de su Comité ejerce y las amenazas que implica sobre las principales potencias occidentales y asiáticas: La gran carrera espacial militar China

EC to cap food-based biofuel contribution to renewable energy transport targets
EC to cap food-based biofuel contribution to renewable energy transport targets:
The European Commission (EC) has published proposals to limit the amount of food-based (so-called “first generation”) biofuels that can be counted towards the renewable energy targets set for the European transport sector, including aviation.
The EC plans to cap the percentage of first generation biofuels and bioliquids that can be counted towards the overall 10% target it set for the transport sector in 2009 at the current consumption level of 5% until 2020.

Swedish airports reach carbon-neutral status
Swedish airports reach carbon-neutral status:
A combination of active reduction measures and a milder winter saw Swedish airport owner-operator Swedavia attained carbon-neutral status in 2011.
The state-owned organization, which oversees 11 airports in the Scandinavian nation, has a target of zero CO2 emissions by 2020.
Last year’s output of 4,600 tonnes of CO2 was a drop of 44% over 2010, achieved by substituting renewable fuel sources for fuel oil for heating, the organization said. A relatively mild winter also saw lower use of snow removal and ice-clearing airport vehicles.

Defensa identifica a siete empresas para reconvertirse a la ... La Tribuna de Albacete El Centro Europeo de Empresas e Innovación de Albacete (CEEI) ha impulsado el proyecto Resacam, en el que se ha trabajado a lo largo de un año y a través del que se han identificado a nueve empresas de Castilla-La Mancha, siete de ellas de Albacete (las otras dos de Toledo) como potenciales empresas que se dedican a otros sectores y pueden reconvertirse al aeronáutico, según destacó ayer el concejal de Empleo y presidente del Consejo de Administración del CEEI, Juan Marcos Molina. El objetivo fundamental «es potenciar el sector aeronáutico en Castilla-La Mancha y particularmente en la ciudad de Albacete», donde hay, resaltó, una «gran tradición aeronáutica» y, por ello, hizo hincapié en que «al reconvertirse al sector aeronáutico como proveedoras o auxiliares, estas empresas cuentan con la premisa de que las empresas tractoras van a utilizarlas y les van a encargar en determinadas actividades» Empresas albaceteñas se postulan para proveer al sector aeronáuticoLa Verdad (Albacete) los 15 artículos informativos » |
