Un día como hoy nacía Juan de la Cierva
Un día como hoy de 1895 nacía Juan de la Cierva, inventor del autogiro. Y en este año del centenario del autogiro hemos escrito mucho sobre él
Nuestro pequeño homenaje
- Primer centenario del primer vuelo del autogiro
- El autogiro fue la primera aeronave de ala rotatoria en ser embarcada
- Un autogiro embarcado en el Dédalo
- Pruebas embarcadas del autogiro en el Fiume en 1935
- El autogiro embarcado en submarinos alemanes
- Pruebas en la Royal Navy en 1942
- Autogiros ASW embarcados en el Akitsu Maru
- El primer autogiro embarcado ¡fue estadounidense!
- En Australia también lo ensayaron los militares, ¡hasta como jeep volador!
- La primera aeronave de ala rotatoria en realizar misiones de enlace y observación de artillería
- El Autogiro como aeronave militar en España
- El autogiro como aeronave de observación militar y correo en USA
- Autogiros militares franceses y belga
- Los autogiros soviéticos en la Segunda guerra mundial
- La primera aeronave de ala rotatoria en realizar labores de evacuación médica
- La primera aeronave de ala rotatoria en ser propuesta como solución de movilidad aérea urbana
- Autogiro y movilidad urbana. Autogiropuerto en Colón (Madrid)
- Y hoy día aún hay quien piensa que puede ser el futuro de los eVTOL
- También fue la primera aeronave de ala rotatoria en…
· Tener versión "de calle" (un coche que vuela autogiro) en 1935
· Cruzar el Canal de la Mancha
- Aterrizar en la Casa Blanca y el Capitolio
- Sufrir un accidente, por suerte sin consecuencias, en la calle de una ciudad
- Sobrevolar Madrid
- ser «copiada», en forma de «Clinogiro»
- Y en cuanto a hazañas modernas…
- Aún aparecen diseños de autogiros militares modernos
- Incluso armados con misiles antitanque
- O realizar vuelos de larga distancia, como a Canarias
- Dar la vuelta al mundo, a manos de un piloto que había superado un cáncer y quería recaudar fondos para la investigación aunque, desgraciadamente, Norman falleciera el año pasado.
- Incluso se ha hibridado con una moto de tres ruedas para crear un autogiro-moto que puede volar y circular por carretera de forma legal, el PAL-V.
- Así como los intentos de Carter Copter de recuperarlo con su concepto de rotor ralentizado para vehículos tan dispares como un «jeep» volador para DARPA, o vehículo de movilidad aérea urbaba.

Did You Know? Some Airbus A350s Sport Different Winglets
Let's say that you're sitting at an airport gate looking out at all the big jets parked on the apron. Because you're already familiar with the basics of planespotting and aircraft identification, you see that two Airbus A350s are parked side by side. To your knowledge, there is only the A350-900 and the A350-1000, but the jets you see are both -900s. With no updated 'neo' type variants yet to be announced, it seems odd that the two A350s in front of you have different winglets. Why might this be?
El 43 Grupo recibe del ministro del Interior la medalla al Mérito de Protección Civil
La Dirección de Protección Civil y Emergencias del Ministerio del Interior ha premiado al 43 Grupo por su dedicación a la protección de los bosques y montes españoles frente a la oleada de incendios que arrasó el territorio nacional durante el verano de 2022. En esa campaña la unidad batió su récord histórico de horas de vuelo, actuaciones y descargas de agua, con 2502 horas voladas en misión real de extinción y 7572 descargas (38 millones de litros) de agua.
Un total de ocho miembros de la unidad han recibido la medalla al Mérito de Protección Civil en su categoría de bronce con distintivo rojo, en un acto celebrado en la Escuela Nacional de Protección Civil, presidido por el ministro del Interior, Fernando Grande-Marlaska Gómez, y al que han asistido jefe del MAGEN, general de división Julio Nieto Sampayo, y jefe de la UME, teniente general Luis M.

UK hydrogen alliance established to accelerate zero carbon aviation and bring an £34bn* annual benefit to the country | Airbus
https://www.airbus.com/en/newsroom/press-releases/2023-09-uk-hydrogen-alliance-established-to-accelerate-zero-carbon-aviation
The Hydrogen in Aviation (HIA) alliance of major players across aviation will work to accelerate the delivery of zero carbon aviation
The UK is currently in a strong position to become a global leader in hydrogen-powered aviation, but further steps must be taken to capture the opportunity, secure long-term employment and economic benefits, as well as meet critical decarbonisation targets.
HIA aims to assist Government and policymakers by mapping out the milestones to ensure infrastructure, regulatory and policy changes keep pace with the ground-breaking technological developments in carbon-free flying
It is critical that the supply of hydrogen, and the infrastructure needed to support zero carbon flying, are prioritised if the significant social and economic benefits of flying are to be preserved
New research shows that 81% of the British public believe hydrogen is the best option to decarbonise aviation with 91% supporting the UK government investing in hydrogen production and use in the aviation sector.
