The doors on both engines of the flight that made an
emergency landing at Heathrow last week had been left
unlatched, investigators have found.
Air accident experts said the coverings - the fan cowl doors
- separated and punctured the right engine's fuel pipe,
damaging the aircraft's systems.

is confident its new 737 MAX passenger jet will burn 13
percent less fuel than current 737 models, a figure that
exceeds earlier estimates.
At a press briefing, Boeing said its forecast is based on
computer models and wind tunnel tests. The plane is due to
enter production in 2015 and be delivered to customers in
2017. The 737 MAX is the latest narrow-body plane by
Boeing and competes with the A320neo made by Airbus
(EAD.PA).

The report, which was obtained by the Washington Post, indicates that Chinese cyber-espoinage compromised sensitive information that allowed that country to develop its version of a fifth-generation fighter aircraft much more quickly than it could have on its own.

another decade for that to evolve into the J7 and for mass
production to really get started.

Turkey’s aerospace industry is certainly an ambitious one and some of its ideas were on display at the IDEF defense show in Istanbul this week.
If building a MALE UAV, and a turboprop trainer – Hurkus, due to fly for the first time in the coming weeks – wasn’t enough, Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI) has embarked on early studies for a national combat aircraft program. While it is only in the concept phase for the moment, with assistance from Swedish fighter manufacturer, Saab, senior officials will make significant decisions on the program at the end of the year....

El prototipo del primer avión militar de entrenamiento básico y primario, diseñado en conjunto por los países de la Unasur, estará listo en el 2016, y a partir de entonces podrá ser adquirido por las naciones que formulen sus requerimientos en el ámbito regional.
La aeronave, denominada Unasur I, es diseñada por un grupo de trabajo especial del bloque regional, que también tendrá a su cargo el desarrollo y la producción de este avión de instrucción, cuyo proyecto cuenta con la participación activa de todas las naciones de Suramérica.
“Aún es un proceso preliminar de diseño y en él todos los países de la región participan de una u otra manera, ya sea como observadores, en la producción misma del avión o en la confección de sus piezas”, detalló el viceministro de Políticas para la Defensa, Mario Sánchez Debernardi.

Aircraft Corp. today announced
the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) has
approved a new functionality on
the S-92® helicopter to provide
offshore oil operators with an
automated approach that
reduces cockpit workload by 60
percent and allows safer
operations under challenging
weather and operating
conditions.
A carrier-borne aviation force has been
formally established as part of the
People's Liberation Army (PLA) Navy ,
military sources said on Friday.
The forming of the force, approved by the
Central Military Commission (CMC),
demonstrates that the development of
China 's aircraft carriers has entered a new
phase, the sources said.
The force comprises carrier-borne fighter
jets, jet trainers and ship-borne
helicopters that operate anti-submarine,
rescue and vigilance tasks

The aircraft painting was achieved in less than seven days and follows the recent completion of MSN001's flight-test-instrumentation (FTI) verification. Last month the aircraft underwent its engines installation, and passed a subsequent intensive phase of ground vibration tests. MSN001 will soon start the final tests before its maiden flight this summer.

Hace mucho tiempo que ya se acordó por la Asamblea de Madrid y por el Ayuntamiento que dejara de haber vuelos en ese lugar. Si se hacen esas torres, no podrá haber vuelos. Supongo que ese será otro de los requisitos que él pone. Y viene a presentar y cerrar su proyecto”.
Para la inspección diaria de los 800 equipos que se utilizan en Barajas para atender a los aviones, Iberia también ha desarrollado una aplicación que muestra los diferentes elementos que deben ser chequeados (ruedas, faros, retrovisores, limpiaparabrisas…), y a la que se accede desde los tablet CF-H2 de Panasonic. Esto permite eliminar el papel en este proceso y organizar las revisiones de acuerdo con su criticidad, lo que contribuye a agilizar el proceso y, también, a aumentar su eficacia.
En la gestión del deshielo se utilizan los tablets CF-H2 de Panasonic. Iberia ha desarrollado una nueva herramienta sobre tecnología 3G para gestionar el servicio de deshielo que le permite disponer de toda la información de la operativa en tiempo real, optimizar el servicio y la infraestructura de deshielo, incrementar la puntualidad y, en definitiva, ofrecer un mejor servicio a las aerolíneas a las que atiende.
