1/06/2016
Clean Sky featured at ILA Berlin today with a conference titled 'The Science powering Clean Sky'. Around 100 people attended the event, which also included the inaugural 'Clean Sky Best PhD Awards'.
The conference opened with a welcome address from Clara de la Torre, Director of DG Research and Innovation of the European Commission. The focus was on science and research as essential parts of Clean Sky's activities and highlighted how universities and research organisations help develop technologies from ideas to reality. Other speakers were Ric Parker, Chair of the Clean Sky Governing Board; Peter Hecker, Chair of Clean Sky Scientific Committee; Hannes Krieg, Project Manager, University of Stuttgart; Ron van Manen, Clean Sky 2 Programme Manager; Rolf Henke, ACARE Chairman, Member of the Executive Board for aeronautics research, DLR; and Jean-Francois Brouckaert, Clean Sky Project Officer.
The conference finished with a celebration of outstanding young researchers in the Best Clean Sky PhD Award ceremony. First prize was awarded to Tao Yang (University of Nottingham) for his thesis 'Development of Dynamic Phasors for the Modelling of Aircraft Electrical Power Systems'. Silver and bronze went respectively to Beniamino Guido (Second University of Naples) and Simon Colliss (University of Cambridge). Francesco Grasso, Chair of Aero Technical Institute, CNAM, then rounded up the awards with a presentation highlighting the importance of young researchers to the future of Clean Sky and aeronautics in general.

Iberia cambia la política de equipajes deportivos e instrumentos musicales para billetes emitidos a partir del 1 de junio.
Madrid, 1 de junio de 2016
Desde hoy, 1 de junio, Iberia modifica su política de equipajes especiales para hacerla más sencilla, donde todos los equipajes deportivos y musicales tienen el mismo tratamiento y, en general, con mejores condiciones que las que regían hasta ahora.
En las rutas de largo radio (América, Asia y Sudáfrica), los equipajes deportivos e instrumentos musicales formarán parte de la franquicia incluida en el billete. Si al cliente le corresponden dos piezas en su franquicia de equipaje, puede llevar una maleta y la bicicleta o la tabla de surf, por ejemplo, además de su equipaje de mano. Si la franquicia fuera una pieza, además del su equipaje de mano, podría facturar una pieza gratis, ya sea maleta o equipaje especial, y pagar como exceso de equipaje si quisiera facturar algo adicional
En las rutas dentro de España, con Europa, África (excepto Sudáfrica) y Próximo Oriente, todos los equipajes especiales (deportivos e instrumentos musicales) abonarán una cantidad única de 45 euros.
¿Cuáles son los equipajes especiales?
Toda la información detallada de cada uno de los equipajes especiales, pesos y tamaños admitidos, y cómo deben transportarse, está incluida en www.iberia.com/es/equipajes/especiales/.

Airbus Helicopters present X3 high speed compound helicopter descendant
- Airbus Helicopters advances Clean Sky 2 high-speed efficient rotorcraft demonstrator (
- Completion of wind tunnel testing campaign validates aerodynamic design and paves the way for demonstrator design start
- Global network of European industries already involved in the development of all major demonstrator components
- Flight-testing phase to begin before the end of the decade
(click on pictures to enlarge)
Berlin – Airbus Helicopters earlier this year passed an important milestone in the development of the high-speed, compound helicopter demonstrator currently being built as part of the Clean Sky 2 European research programme. A mockup of the breakthrough airframe design has just undergone windtunnel testing in an Airbus facility. The tests proved the viability of the chosen design in terms of efficiency, sustainability and performance, paving the way for a preliminary design review expected end of 2016. Meanwhile, the overall project has passed its first official milestone involving all core partners by reaching the end of its pre-design phase.
Building upon the achievements of the company-funded and record-breaking X3 technology demonstrator, the Airbus Helicopters Clean Sky-demonstrator will help refine the “compound” aerodynamic configuration and bring it closer to an operational design, with the end objective of meeting future requirements for increased speed, better cost-efficiency, as well dramatic reductions of emission and acoustic footprints. Flight-testing of the prototype is expected to start in 2019.
“We are honoured to be carrying out this project on behalf of the Clean Sky Joint Undertaking and the large number of European companies who are taking part in the development. Our ambition is to become the benchmark of the rotorcraft industry, and as such we are willing to drive a bold vision for the future of helicopter transportation”, said Jean-Brice Dumont, Airbus Helicopters Chief Technical Officer. “Our Clean Sky 2-demonstrator will not only be about going faster; it will help make speed smarter by seeking the best trade-off between cost-efficiency, sustainability and mission performance. We want to break the cost barrier usually associated with increased speed and range and pave the way for new missions sets for 2030 and beyond, by providing crucial emergency or door-to-door transportation services to European citizens where they need it most.”
Development of the Clean Sky 2-demonstrator relies on a wide European network of industrial partners who are bringing their technical skills and know-how to the project. While Airbus Helicopters facilities in France, Germany, Spain and Poland are involved in areas such as structural and mechanical design, other countries like Romania, Italy and the United Kingdom also highly contribute their expertise through a large number of design and manufacturing work packages.
Ron Van Manen, Clean Sky 2 Programme Manager, highlighted that “The LifeRCraft Demonstrator project in Clean Sky 2 will pull together capabilities from across the European Research Area, addressing technology gaps in systems, structures and overall design and demonstrating the viability of a compound rotorcraft design that can bring a fundamentally new combination of payload / range / speed to the aviation market. In particular where a rapid response or a key range requirement exists (such as in disaster relief, medical evacuation or search & rescue) this aircraft concept can bring important benefits to the public and open new market opportunities that will strengthen Europe’s already formidable competitive position in the vertical lift aviation sector”.

For a relatively small critter, the mantis shrimp certainly makes some major waves in the scientific community. The crustacean has served as the inspiration for research into everything from cancer-detecting camera technology to polarized lenses to strong and light composite materials. Adding to the body of knowledge in that last category is research out of the University of California Riverside (UCR) that has unravelled one of the secrets that helps the animal's claw move as fast as a .22 caliber bullet but not suffer any damage.
