Airlander hybrid air vehichle Luxury Interior Revealed
PR
Hybrid Air Vehicles Limited and Design Q have unveiled the Airlander 10 passenger cabin, showcasing what’s possible in luxury expeditionary tourism when you Rethink the Skies.
Airlander 10’s remarkable passenger cabin opens up new possibilities by approaching air travel from a different perspective.
Passengers on Airlander will have luxurious private en-suite bedrooms and will be able to enjoy horizon-to-horizon views in the aircraft’s extensive Infinity Lounge. The Altitude Bar will offer drinks with the ultimate view, while 18 guests can enjoy fine dining in the skies.
Stephen McGlennan, CEO of HAV, comments that Airlander 10 is changing the way we think about air travel. "Airlander challenges people to rethink the skies – that’s the driving force behind everything we do," he says. "Air travel has become very much about getting from A to B as quickly as possible. What we’re offering is a way of making the journey a joy." Airlander 10 can take off and land from virtually any flat surface, eliminating the need for traditional infrastructure like ports or airports. This opens up opportunities for luxury expeditions to places existing transport can’t get to and offers the ultimate in transformative, experiential travel.
The new cabin design takes full advantage of Airlander’s unique characteristics to create an environment unlike anything available in aviation today. Design Q’s CEO Howard Guy adds: "We love doing different things. Our fantastic team of young designers relish the opportunity to do something no one’s done before, to imagine a new concept and then to get into the detailed design of what this space will be."
Airlander 10’s interior is unusually spacious – the cabin is larger than most single-aisle aircraft, such as the A320. This space allowed the team at Design Q to use their extensive experience of luxury spaces to create something full of unique features that will set new standards for excellence in air travel. Howard explains: "My team exploited the opportunity that Airlander 10 presents; we had a huge space to create an experience that makes no compromises. This is luxury like you’ve never known it – with the ability to go anywhere in the world."
The two companies have worked in partnership over the last year to develop the cabin design. Throughout the process, the team has been guided by engineering and regulatory demands. The cabin design has incorporated many considerations to ensure it is practical, feasible, and ready for the transition into production. It also presents numerous design details that are industry firsts. HAV and Design Q will continue to work together, with further announcements expected later this year.

Faster, Lighter, Smarter: DARPA Gives Small Autonomous Systems a Tech Boost
press release
Researchers demo latest quadcopter software to navigate simulated urban environments, performing real-world tasks without human assistance
DARPA’s Fast Lightweight Autonomy (FLA) program recently completed Phase 2 flight tests, demonstrating advanced algorithms designed to turn small air and ground systems into team members that could autonomously perform tasks dangerous for humans – such as pre-mission reconnaissance in a hostile urban setting or searching damaged structures for survivors following an earthquake.
Building on Phase 1 flight tests in 2017, researchers refined their software and adapted commercial sensors to achieve greater performance with smaller, lighter quadcopters. Conducted in a mock town at the Guardian Centers training facility in Perry, Georgia, aerial tests showed significant progress in urban outdoor as well as indoor autonomous flight scenarios, including:
- Flying at increased speeds between multi-story buildings and through tight alleyways while identifying objects of interest;
- Flying through a narrow window into a building and down a hallway searching rooms and creating a 3-D map of the interior; and
- Identifying and flying down a flight of stairs and exiting the building through an open doorway.
Begun in 2015, the FLA applied research program has focused on developing advanced autonomy algorithms—the smart software needed to yield high performance from a lightweight quadcopter weighing about five pounds with limited battery power and computer processing capability onboard. FLA’s algorithms have been demonstrated so far on air vehicles only, but they could be used on small, lightweight ground vehicles as well.
“The outstanding university and industry research teams working on FLA honed algorithms that in the not too distant future could transform lightweight, commercial-off-the-shelf air or ground unmanned vehicles into capable operational systems requiring no human input once you’ve provided a general heading, distance to travel, and specific items to search,” said J.C. Ledé, DARPA program manager. “Unmanned systems equipped with FLA algorithms need no remote pilot, no GPS guidance, no communications link, and no pre-programmed map of the area – the onboard software, lightweight processor, and low-cost sensors do all the work autonomously in real-time.”
FLA’s algorithms could lead to effective human-machine teams on the battlefield, where a small air or ground vehicle might serve as a scout autonomously searching unknown environments and bringing back useful reconnaissance information to a human team member. Without needing communications links to the launch vehicle, the chances of an adversary detecting troop presence based on radio transmissions is reduced, which adds further security and safety, Ledé said. This could be particularly important in a search-and-rescue scenario, where an FLA-equipped platform could search in radio silence behind enemy lines for a downed pilot or crew member.
During Phase 2, a team of engineers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Draper Laboratory reduced the number of onboard sensors to lighten their air vehicle for higher speed.
“This is the lightweight autonomy program, so we’re trying to make the sensor payload as light as possible,” said Nick Roy, co-leader of the MIT/Draper team. “In Phase 1 we had a variety of different sensors on the platform to tell us about the environment. In Phase 2 we really doubled down trying to do as much as possible with a single camera.”
A key part of the team’s task was for the air vehicle to build not only a geographically accurate map as it traversed the cityscape but also a semantic one.
“As the vehicle uses its sensors to quickly explore and navigate obstacles in unknown environments, it is continually creating a map as it explores and remembers any place it has already been so it can return to the starting point by itself,” said Jon How, the other MIT/Draper team co-leader.
Using neural nets, the onboard computer recognizes roads, buildings, cars, and other objects and identifies them as such on the map, providing clickable images as well. The human team member could download the map and images from the onboard processor after the mission is completed.
Additionally, the MIT/Draper team incorporated the ability to sync data collected by the air vehicle with a handheld app called the Android Tactical Assault Kit (ATAK), which is already deployed to military forces. Using an optional Wi-Fi link from the aircraft (that the human team member could turn on or off as desired), the air vehicle can send real-time imagery of objects of interest. During the flight tests, researchers successfully demonstrated autonomous identification of cars positioned in various locations around the mock town. With “exploration mode” mode on, the air vehicle identified the cars and provided their location with clickable high-resolution images in real-time via Wi-Fi, appearing as an overlay on the ATAK geospatial digital map on the handheld device.
A separate team of researchers from the University of Pennsylvania reduced their air vehicle’s size and weight to be able to fly autonomously in small, cluttered indoor spaces. UPenn’s air vehicle took off outside, identified and flew through a second-story window opening with just inches of width clearance, flew down a hallway looking for open rooms to search, found a stairwell, and descended to the ground floor before exiting back outside through an open doorway.
The platform’s reduced weight and size brought new challenges, since the sensors and computers used in Phase 1 were too heavy for the smaller vehicle.
“We ended up developing a new integrated single-board computer that houses all of our sensors as well as our computational platform,” said Camillo J. Taylor, the UPenn team lead. “In Phase 2 we flew a vehicle that’s about half the size of the previous one, and we reduced the weight by more than half. We were able to use a commercially available processor that requires very little power for the entirety of our computational load.”
A key feature of the UPenn vehicle is its ability to create a detailed 3-D map of unknown indoor spaces, avoid obstacles and ability to fly down stairwells.
“That’s very important in indoor environments,” Taylor said. “Because you need to actually not just reason about a slice of the world, you need to reason about what’s above you, what’s below you. You might need to fly around a table or a chair, so we’re forced to build a complete three-dimensional representation.”
The next step, according to Taylor, is packing even more computation onto smaller platforms, potentially making a smart UAV for troops or first responders that is small enough to fit in the palm of the hand.
Algorithms developed in the FLA program have been scheduled to transition to the Army Research Laboratory for further development for potential military applications.

TsAGI explores MC-21 motion on a slick runway
press release
The Zhukovsky Central AeroHydrodynamic Institute (TsAGI) continues MC-21 prospective aircraft testing. Now TsAGI scientists are studying the aircraft’s characteristics on a slick runway during a simulated rainfall.
Sediment on the runway leads to a reduced friction coefficient, additional slush force and even the wheel aquaplaning. The combination of these factors significantly affects the aircraft’s directional control and braking performance on the runway and, as a consequence, increases takeoff distance.
TsAGI Aerodynamics & Flight Dynamics Complex work objective is to define the impact of runway water depth, slush layer, ice on takeoff and increase in landing distances, as well as the change in characteristics of the aircraft’s stability and controllability.
TsAGI scientists created a mathematical model of the aircraft runway rollout with different states of runway surface. Scientists have developed new simulation models of the slush force, improved deceleration device and cornering force. The testing results identified the normal take-off distance, accelerate-shop distance and extended take-off at engine failure with various runway surface conditions. The Institute specialists identified the aircraft control characteristics at crosswind and thrust reversing.
"Our simulation program will be practiced at TsAGI flight simulators and will help pilots,” commented Viktor Bragazin, leading researcher of the TsAGI Aerodynamics & Flight Dynamics Complex . “The program will be improved after the MC-21 flight in different test conditions. In the future, the results may become the background for certificate tests on slick runways, and also provide the basis for aircrew recommendations.”
The MC-21-300 is a new generation aircraft with a capacity of 163 to 211 passengers and targets the largest segment of the aviation market. The aircraft provides passengers with a significant new level of comfort, due to the largest fuselage diameter in narrow-body aircraft. The aircraft is superior to existing counterparts in terms of flight-technical characteristics and efficiency. The major contributor to the enhancement of flight-technical characteristics of the aircraft is the wing made of polymer composite materials, the first-in-the-world, developed for narrow-body aircraft with a capacity of over 130 passengers. The use of composites in the MC-21 design exceeds 30% and is unique for this category of aircraft.
TSAGI completes hypersonic flight mode research of the Federation return vehicle
press release
Specialists of the Zhukovsky Central AeroHydrodynamic Institute (TsAGI) completed the research of hypersonic flight modes of the Federation return spacecraft.
Institute scientists tested the spacecraft model at Mach numbers 7, 5 and 10, 5 to define its heat-transfer performance. “We simulated the space vehicle’s entry into the atmosphere,” explained Sergey Drozdov, TsAGI’s High-Speed Aircraft Aerothermodynamics Department, and D.Sc. in Physics & Mathematics. “High-temperature loads (over 2000° c) become operative during the hypersonic flight segment. The spacecraft’s thermal protection shield should withstand the load.”
The obtained data will allow verifying the calculation methods and data on heat transport which were the basic parameters for the thermal protection adoption. The testing results will also help to clarify the impact of the real features of the spacecraft geometry on the heat transfer characteristics. This will help scientists and engineers to design the prospective return spacecraft rationally and reliably.
The study took place in TsAGI’s T-117 wind tunnel at Mach numbers 7, 5-18, 6 with temperature conditions from 630 to 3200°C. No wind tunnel in Europe has similar capabilities.
Federation is a new-generation reusable piloted spacecraft. A firm development contract was awarded to RKK Energia by S.P.Korolev. The spacecraft is intended to carry a crew and suppliers to destinations at and/or beyond low Earth orbit. The spacecraft will send cosmonauts into moon orbit with a plan to place a space station there. Unique technologies are used to create the spacecraft: it will be constructed with advanced composite materials and will have a multiple docking unit. Modern avionics will better deal with the challenges of rendezvous and docking; improve the safety of the crew at orbit insertion and descent to the Earth. Federation will be capable of carrying crews of four into Earth orbit and beyond on missions of up to 30 days. If docked with a space station, it could stay in space up to a year. The total spacecraft weight in flight to the space station will be 14, 4 tones (19 tones when flying to the Moon), the vehicle mass upon return is 9 tones. Federation length is 6, 1 meter

Empresas Andaluzas Aeronáuticas Buscan Oportunidades De Negocio Con Firmas Americanas En La Feria Farnborough De Londres
Nota de prensa
Extenda organiza varias sesiones de networking con compañías de Estados Unidos, mercado al que Andalucía ha multiplicado por cuatro sus exportaciones desde 2015
Un total de ocho entidades andaluzas del sector aeronáutico, presentes en la feria Farnborough International Airshow 2018 (FIA) de Londres, se han reunido con firmas norteamericanas para buscar nuevos lazos comerciales, en una acción organizada por la Consejería de Conocimiento, Investigación y Universidad, a través de Extenda-Agencia Andaluza de Promoción Exterior.
En el marco de FIA, la principal feria del sector aeronáutico y del espacio que se celebra en Europa en 2018, Extenda ha organizado la participación de las empresas andaluzas en varias sesiones de networking con las ocho firmas de la delegación del Estado de Connecticut, las 14 procedentes de Washington y las de Carolina del Sur, en las que han podido presentar su oferta comercial con el fin de buscar nuevas oportunidades de negocio en el mercado estadounidense, en el que Andalucía ha cuadruplicado sus ventas aeronáuticas desde 2015, con un alza del 312%.
Además, la consejera delegada de Extenda, Vanessa Bernad, ha mantenido varias reuniones con representantes de los citados estados norteamericanos para conocer de primera mano la industria estadounidense y plantear acciones conjuntas para ampliar las relaciones comerciales. “Nuestro objetivo es acercar a las empresas andaluzas a los mercados exteriores y a los inversores extranjeros para impulsar proyectos relacionados con la industria aeronáutica y con ello reafirmar el compromiso del Gobierno andaluz por este sector estratégico para la economía de la región”, aseguró Bernad.
En concreto, la consejera delegada de Extenda ha mantenido una reunión de trabajo con los representantes de Carolina del Sur, uno de los estados norteamericanos con una mayor presencia de contratistas del sector aeronáutico implantados, como Boeing o Lockead Martin. En este encuentro, se han establecido los primeros lazos de colaboración para promover la participación de estas empresas en la próxima misión inversa que Extenda organizará para el sector en el inicio de 2019, así como para la organización de una misión directa a este estado en la que se desarrolle una agenda de reuniones con compañías andaluzas interesadas en expandir su negocio al mercado americano.
Vanessa Bernad mantuvo igualmente un encuentro con los representantes de Connecticut, estado anfitrión en la última misión directa a Estados Unidos que organizó Extenda para este sector, y con los que se ha acordado que empresas locales acudan también como invitadas a la misión inversa que Extenda organizará para las empresas aeronáuticas andaluzas en 2019.
Más reuniones
Además, Extenda ha intercambiado información sobre las empresas andaluzas presentes en FIA con la delegación de Canadá formada por 91 firmas y con la cinco procedentes de la región francesa de Bretaña para promover una agenda de reuniones bilaterales entre ellas.
El objetivo de estas reuniones es seguir trabajando en la estrategia de diversificación de mercados dentro del proceso de internacionalización de las empresas andaluzas, apuntando hacia destinos de referencia en el sector aeronáutico como Canadá o Francia, así como otros con gran protagonismo mundial y en los que Andalucía aún tiene mucho potencial de crecimiento, como el mercado estadounidense, en el que la región ha experimentado una importante progresión en los tres últimos años, al cuadruplicar sus ventas aeronáuticas desde 2015.
En cualquier caso, se trata de un sector en el que Andalucía lideró las exportaciones españolas del sector aeronáutico en 2017, con 3.293 millones de euros, el 57% de las ventas nacionales, una cifra que supone que las empresas andaluzas han duplicado su facturación internacional en sólo tres años, con un alza del 112% respecto a las ventas de 2015 (1.553 millones de euros).
Apoyo al sector
Asimismo, en el marco de la feria, la consejera delegada de Extenda ha asistido a la recepción de la International Aviation Women Association (IAWA) en el stand de Airbus Hospitality Lounge, un encuentro en el que han participado empresas andaluzas como Sofitec, Grabysur y Ebas Group.
Además, Vanessa Bernad ha mantenido un encuentro de trabajo en Londres con la consejera económica y comercial de la Embajada de España, Inmaculada López Martínez, para avanzar en la mejor estrategia para estrechar los lazos comerciales entre Andalucía y Reino Unido, abordando cómo puede afectar el Brexit al comercio exterior de las empresas andaluzas y planteando qué acciones se pueden acometer de forma conjunta para apoyar a las firmas de la región en Reino Unido.
Participación andaluza
La delegación andaluza presente en FIA está formada por ocho entidades, cuatro de las cuales exponen de forma agrupada en el stand de Extenda. En concreto, se trata de la Fundación Hélice-Cluster Aeroespacial Andaluz, así como las firmas sevillanas Gazc, UMI Aeronáutica y Aerotecnic Metallic SLU. Además, otras cuatro empresas sevillanas exponen de manera individual en Farnborougn. Son Grabysur, Sofitec, Ebas Group e Idecam-DTE.
La organización de esta acción por parte de Extenda será cofinanciada con fondos procedentes de la Unión Europea a través del P.O. FEDER de Andalucía 2014-2020, dotado con una contribución comunitaria del 80%.
Estados Unidos, un mercado en expansión
Según datos de Extenda, las exportaciones andaluzas aeronáuticas a Estados Unidos se han multiplicado por cuatro en los tres últimos años, con un incremento del 312% desde 2015, hasta los 58 millones de euros de 2017.
La tendencia positiva se mantiene en el primer cuatrimestre de 2018, con un incremento de las ventas de 81% hasta los 24,8 millones de euros, con los que Andalucía pasa a liderar las exportaciones nacionales aeronáuticas a Estados Unidos, por delante de Madrid (12,8 millones, el 29,1%), y es la comunidad que más crece de las seis más exportadoras.
Con estos datos, Estados Unidos se convierte en el cuarto mercado de las exportaciones aeronáuticas andaluzas, ganando una posición sobre el mismo periodo de 2017. Sevilla concentra la práctica totalidad de las ventas, con 24,3 millones, con un alza del 84%; mientras que con cifras menores se encuentran por detrás Málaga, con 227.000 euros, que duplica su dato con un aumento del 153%; y Córdoba con 204.000 euros.
Andalucía exportó principalmente partes de los aparatos, con 24,5 millones y una subida del 86%. Además, el número de empresas exportadoras regulares (más de cuatro años exportando) se mantiene en el primer cuatrimestre con respecto a las registradas en todo 2017, con once firmas en total.
Acciones para abordar el mercado norteamericano

Lockheed Martin Introduces LM-100J 'FireHerc' At Farnborough International Airshow
press release
FARNBOROUGH, England, July 16, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT) today at Farnborough International Airshow (FIAS) introduced the LM-100J "FireHerc," a civil-certified firefighting airtanker variant of the proven C-130J Super Hercules that is the airlifter of choice for 18 nations around the world.
The LM-100J is the commercial freighter production model of the C-130J Super Hercules and an updated version of the legacy L-100 commercial Hercules freighter. The LM-100J is flying at and on static display at this year's FIAS.
C-130s — legacy Hercules, Super Hercules and L-100s — have flown millions of hours in support of missions for military and civilian operators around the world for more than 60 years, which includes supporting firefighting missions for more than 40 years. The LM-100J FireHerc builds on this proven experience and offers advanced capabilities to support aerial firefighting requirements for decades to come.
"With the presence of wildfires increasing on a global scale, there is a real-time need to provide more advanced assets to protect our people, communities and environment," said George Shultz, vice president and general manager, Air Mobility & Maritime Missions at Lockheed Martin. "As a variant of the C-130J Super Hercules, the FireHerc delivers a powerful combination of established performance advantages and innovative technology that will truly change the way we fight and defeat wildfires."
FireHerc-Performance
The Hercules plays a vital role in firefighting by dispersing retardant to contain and control fires in locations with complex terrain and compromised operating conditions. The FireHerc's straight-wing design and turboprop power plant allows it to excel in supporting this challenging low-level, low-speed firefighting mission profile like no other large airtanker in operation.
Additional FireHerc advantages include:
- Advanced flight deck avionics that provide outstanding situational awareness and modern safety features to protect and guide flight crews through challenging conditions.
- The ability to support two different retardant dispersion solutions: the gravity-drop based Coulson Aviation RADS Product Line or the pressure-type dispersal Modular Aerial Firefighting System II (MAFFS II). Both have been certified by the U.S. Forest Service on the Hercules platform to meet strict ground coverage standards.
- A path to support night firefighting with advanced integrated technology, allowing responders to combat fires on an unprecedented 24/7 cycle — providing an unmatched advantage against nature.
More information about the LM-100J FireHerc is available here. Read more...

Boeing Forecasts $15 Trillion Commercial Airplanes and Services Market
press release
20-year outlook projects rising demand for 42,700+ new airplanes, valued at $6.3 trillion
Services to outpace the world fleet; to grow 4.2% annually creating a $8.8T market
FARNBOROUGH, United Kingdom, July 17, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Boeing [NYSE: BA] lifted its long-term forecast for commercial airplanes as rising passenger traffic and upcoming airplane retirements drive the need for 42,730 new jets – valued at $6.3 trillion – over the next 20 years. The global airplane fleet will also sustain growing demand for commercial aviation services, leading to a total market opportunity of $15 trillion.
The company's annual forecast, renamed the Commercial Market Outlook (CMO) to include detailed analysis of the dynamic aviation services market, was presented today at the Farnborough International Airshow. Recognized as an industry benchmark for global air travel forecasting, the 2018 CMO projects the total number of airplanes increasing 4.1 percent over the previous forecast.
"For the first time in years, we are seeing economies growing in every region of the world. This synchronized growth is providing more stimulus for global air travel. We are seeing strong traffic trends not only in the emerging markets of China and India, but also the mature markets of Europe and North America," said Randy Tinseth, vice president of Commercial Marketing for The Boeing Company. "Along with continued traffic expansion, the data show a big retirement wave approaching as older airplanes age out of the global fleet."
According to fleet data, there are more than 900 airplanes today that are over 25 years old. By the mid 2020's, more than 500 airplanes a year will reach 25 years of age – double the current rate – fueling the retirement wave. Tinseth said the data explain why 44 percent of the new airplanes will be needed to cover replacement alone, while the rest will support future growth.
Including airplanes that will be retained, the global fleet is projected to essentially double in size to 48,540 by 2037.
The single-aisle segment will see the most growth over the forecast period, with a demand for 31,360 new airplanes, an increase of 6.1 percent over last year. This $3.5 trillion market is driven in large part by the continued growth of low-cost carriers, strong demand in emerging markets, and increasing replacement demand in markets such as China and Southeast Asia.
The widebody segment calls for 8,070 new airplanes valued at nearly $2.5 trillion over the next twenty years. Widebody demand is spearheaded, in part, by a large wave of replacements beginning early in the next decade and airlines deploying advanced jets such as the 787 Dreamliner and 777X to expand their global networks.
Additionally, Boeing projects the need for 980 new production widebody freighters over the forecast period, up 60 airplanes over last year. In addition, operators are forecasted to buy 1,670 converted freighters.

The massive fleet generates a strong and growing demand for aviation services ranging from supply chain support (parts and parts logistics), to maintenance and engineering services, to aircraft modifications, to airline operations. Over the next 20 years, Boeing forecast an $8.8T market for commercial aviation services with annual growth of 4.2 percent.
"The commercial airplane business fuels an enormous ecosystem of service providers. Our combined forecast shows the full picture of the $15T commercial market ahead of us," Tinseth said. "We see a market in which airlines outsource more and more, a market in which data and data analytics help aircraft and airline networks become more efficient and reliable, and a market in which new technologies provide new services solutions. All of these trends drive greater demand for integrated solutions over the life of an airplane."
Major categories in the services forecast include the $2.3 trillion market for Maintenance & Engineering, which covers tasks required to maintain or restore the airworthiness of an aircraft and its systems, components, and structures. Another major category is the $1.1 trillion market for Flight Operations, which covers services associated with the flight deck, cabin services, crew training and management, and airplane operations.
