http://feedly.com/k/19a8CpZ
Prometeo, un proyecto español en el que participan 15 empresas lideradas por el grupo de helicópteros INAER, ha presentado sus primeros resultados operativos tras tres años de pruebas. Se trata de un sistema que recoge datos vía satélite, aérea y terrestre de la evolución de los incendios en tiempo real, que permitirá mejorar la eficacia en las labores de extinción de incendios a través de una mejor coordinación de todos los medios.
Un consorcio español formado por 15 empresas, ha desarrollado un sistema, Prometeo, que mejora la eficacia en la lucha contra los incendios
I+D puramente español para combatir el fuego. La gran experiencia de España en la lucha contraincendios, obligado por las especiales condiciones orográficas y climatológicas de nuestro país, y su probada eficacia en la lucha contra el fuego, vuelve a tener un claro ejemplo en Prometeo, un sistema desarrollado íntegramente en España, que permite utilizar los datos captados por diversas fuentes: satélites, medios áereos y medios terrestres, para luchar de una manera más eficaz contra el fuego.
El consorcio, que está integrado por quince compañías de diversos ámbitos, y liderado por INAER, el primer grupo español de helicópteros, ha presentado, tras tres años de ensayo, los primeros resultados de Prometeo en Comité de Lucha contra Incendios Forestales, dependiente del Ministerio de Agricultura, Alimentación y Medioambiente. El objetivo de Prometeo es reducir la magnitud de los grandes incendios, la optimización de los recursos disponibles y mitigar los daños medioambientales.
¿CÓMO TRABAJA PROMETEO?
El Titán griego que dio a los hombres el fuego, Prometeo, se venga ahora del castigo recibido por los dioses del Olimpo gracias a la iniciativa del consorcio que lleva su nombre y que ha puesto en servicio el primer sistema experto de uso internacional, que integra la información recibida en tiempo real procedente de sensores satelitales, aéreos y terrestres. Via satélite el sistema facilita las comunicaciones en banda ancha y proporciona información del terreno, desde el aire, a través de aeronaves equipadas con cámaras infrarrojas y multiespectrales, se ofrece con detalle la evolución del incendio e información relevante sobre las condiciones de propagación de la vegetación circundante. Y desde el propio terreno, una red de sensores suministran los pronósticos meteorológicos locales, que finalmente permitirán al sistema desarrollar simulaciones de la evolución del incendio en tiempo real.
Pero además de las funcionalidades que permitirán un mayor control y predicción de la evolución de los incendios, el sistema incorpora funciones para garantizar la seguridad de los brigadistas que participan en la extinción de los incendios, mediante sensores de localización y de chequeo fisiológico de las personas que están interviniendo en la extinción del fuego, información fundamental para facilitar las tareas de evacuación y rescate en situaciones críticas.
Toda esa información se transmite al centro de mando, donde se distribuye de manera coordinada a los diferentes componentes del sistema encargado de su procesamiento e interpretación, para proporcionar al director de extinción información táctica sobre escenarios en 3D, que facilitará el proceso de toma de decisiones, para emprender acciones tan importantes como el adecuado despliegue de los recursos con eficiencia y garantía de seguridad.
Según informa la empresa que lidera el proyecto, INAER, en un comunicado:" Este proyecto de I+D permitirá acortar la duración e intensidad de los incendios, en gran medida gracias a facilitar las tareas de extinción con aeronaves por la noche, dado que utilizará un sistema de navegación que incrementará los niveles de seguridad. Se trata de un proyecto de I+D, desarrollado íntegramente en España."
Además de INAER, que lidera el proyecto, han participado en el desarrollo de Prometo Comunidades Autónomas, el Ministerio de Medio Ambiente, Medio Rural y Marino, la Unidad Militar de Emergencias, y las empresas Aries Ingeniería, Brainstorm, Deimos, Expace, Foresma, Hispasat, Indra, Innovatec, Isdefe, Tecnosylva, Telvent y Vaersa

http://www.revistaaerea.com/2013/11/25/peruvian-ministry-of-defense-selects-the-alenia-aermacchi-c-27j-spartan-tactical-airlifter/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=peruvian-ministry-of-defense-selects-the-alenia-aermacchi-c-27j-spartan-tactical-airlifter
Alenia Aermacchi, a Finmeccanica Company, has been selected to supply the Peruvian Ministry of
Defense with 2 C-27J Spartan tactical airlifters. The contract, to be signed as soon as the
administrative procedures are completed, has a value of around 100 million euro inclusive of a
substantial logistic support package for the two aircraft.
The C-27J – known as the only true military transport aircraft of its category available on the market -
has been selected by the Fuerza Aerea del Perù due to its proven operational flexibility at competitive
costs; the best performances in its class in all operational and environmental conditions and because it
is the only aircraft in its class interoperable with heavier airlifters already in service in Peru.
"The choice by the Peruvian MoD – said the Company- is a confirmation that, when an air force has a
stringent airlift requirement in terms of performances and capabilities, the Spartan is the only solution
able to guarantee an excellent value for money. The C-27J is a clear example of the capabilities of the
Italian aeronautical industry, but this success is also the result of the intense relationship between Italy
and Peru in the defense field since 2002 and which is constantly renewed through the years".
The selection process held by the Peruvian MoD was meticulous and lasted almost 3 years. The
requirement asked for an aircraft able to operate in total safety in the most difficult conditions as those
found over the Andes. During the operational evaluation run in Peru, the C-27J demonstrated its
capability to perform a variety of missions including transport of civilians, troops, materials and
medicines, logistical re-supply, MEDEVAC, airdrop operations, search and rescue (SAR),
humanitarian assistance and operations in support of homeland security and Civil Protection, with the
capability to operate on a large number of airfields where its competitor is unable to land.

http://feedly.com/k/1g2Nx5y
There is meaning behind the color for the 777X – Image: Boeing
With all the excitement of the new Boeing 777X orders announced at the Dubai Airshow, one might have missed the fact that the aircraft is showing off a new color for the Boeing livery. Is it red? Maroon? No, it is a very rich burgundy.
To date, we have seen a rainbow of colors showing up on new Boeing aircraft and the choice of burgundy is no accident.
I had the opportunity to speak with Rob Pollack, vice president Advertising, Brand and Market Positioning with Boeing to try answer why burgundy was to become the official color for the 777X.
The composites of the new Boeing 777X are in burgundy – Image: Boeing
The choice of burgundy was not made overnight. Boeing had to complete quite a bit of research before deciding on their new color. Different colors can have different meanings, and Boeing did not want to end up insulting a particular culture or airline based on a wrong choice.
Believe it or not, there has been quite a bit of work done on seeing what feelings and words that people relate with colors. Boeing found some key thoughts connected to the color burgundy, which they wanted passengers and airline customers to associate with the plane. Those words are vigor, elegance, refinement, high-end, richness, leadership, and maturity. Think of the color as a fine wine, in literal color and embodiment.
I also cannot help but think about a key quote from Anchorman Ron Burgundy, "I have many leather-bound books and my apartment smells of rich mahogany." I think the color choice definitely stays classy.
Once it was decided to go with burgundy, then the mission was to find which shade. If you have ever been at the local hardware store to buy some house paint, you know the selection of shades can be nearly endless. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of shades in the same color family.
Boeing's marketing team tried quite a few different samples by spraying a 6″ x 12″ test panel, taking it outside to view the color, and then tweaking it to their final liking. They finally settled on the color seen on the 777X mock-ups today.
At this time, Boeing doesn't have an official name for the burgundy (did someone say, "naming contest?"). Some have already dubbed it, "Big Burgundy," but that just doesn't seem classy enough to me.
Although Boeing's official color is blue, this livery is not the first variation of their color roots. Let's take a look at the other offerings from the Boeing livery rainbow family:
ZA003 sported the updated Dreamliner livery in blue during the the Dreamliner World Tour. Image: Boeing
The first time we saw the new Boeing livery was with the first 787-8 Dreamliner ZA001. Many have felt it has been one of the best liveries every designed and it has received quite a bit of positive feedback. Although the most recently livery on ZA003 was updated a tad, most people wouldn't be able to notice.
BONUS: Photos- The Wonderful Liveries of the Boeing 787 Dreamliner
Boeing went with orange to help promote the 747-8 Intercontinental.
The second version was displayed on the 747-8I and was a mixture of reds and oranges. The new design was called the Sunrise livery and Boeing designed it as a salute to potential Asian customers. Unfortunately, the color might not end up being enough for the plane.
BONUS: A Nice Little Wrap Up to the Boeing 747-8 Intercontinental's First Flight
The obvious change was the use of orange, but Boeing also put a large "8″ on the tail. This added feature was used in future Boeing liveries, including the 787-9 Dreamliner.
The Boeing 737 MAX8 in the teal Boeing livery. Image: Boeing
At first, I did not notice that the 737 MAX had a different livery than the original Dreamliner. However, after closer inspection, one can see the use of more teals and a bit into the green family on this livery. The difference is not as obvious as the bold orange or burgundy, but it is a subtle change.
BONUS: Boeing 737 MAX to get a Radical Winglet with a Boring Name
I am still not a fan of the name "MAX," but I have to say that I do like the blue-green family of colors and love this color combination.
The new 777X will offer a folding wing-tip – Image: Boeing
Then, of course, we are back to the red-family with the new 777X. I really like the burgundy and cannot wait to see what it will look like in person. Historically, Boeing has been a pretty conservative company and I get a kick out of the fact that they are being a bit creative by putting the same livery on all their new aircraft, but spicing it up with different colors.
We still have quite a bit of time before we get to see the new 777X in person, but luckily Boeing has some ways for you to connect with the aircraft today. If you want to experience the new 777X in ways not seen before, be sure to check out Boeing's interactive page on the aircraft. This gallery view is unique and was actually done locally at the Seattle Art Museum.
If that is not enough for you, also be sure to check out more mock up photos of the 777X on Boeing's NewAirplane.com site.

A major objective of the tests was to show active flow control can enhance the performance of a vertical tail enough to enable future designers to reduce the size of the structure for a whole family of airplanes. That could reduce the penalties related to the vertical tail that aircraft currently pay in drag and weight.
The testing, which began in early September and concluded Nov. 4, took place at the U.S. Air Force's Arnold Engineering Development Center's 40- by 80-foot wind tunnel at Ames in Moffett Field, CA.
"This test campaign is a key component of NASA's Environmentally Responsible Aviation Project," said project manager Fay Collier. "The maturation of technologies such as active flow control, which will benefit aviation by improving fuel efficiency, reducing emissions and noise levels, is what NASA's aeronautics research is all about. The promising results of these wind tunnel tests and the following flight demonstration in 2015 undoubtedly will have an impact on future "green" aircraft designs," said Collier.
