El proyecto HERCCULES de la UPM espera en Suecia su lanzamiento a la estratosfera

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

La primera aeronave de ala rotatoria en realizar misiones de enlace y observación de artillería

La primera aeronave de ala rotatoria en realizar labores de evacuación médica

Autogiro como aeronave de evacuación médica

La primera aeronave de ala rotatoria en ser propuesta como solución de movilidad aérea urbana

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

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.

GA-ASI Poised to Begin LongShot Flight Testing Phase | General Atomics Aeronautical Systems Inc.

LongShotUAS is a go.

GA-ASI will help shift the paradigm of air combat by building and testing @DARPA's new air-launched unmanned attack aircraft. #AFASeptember

LongShot will fly from manned aircraft such as fighters, transports or others, adding huge capability and versatility for the U.S. and its allies against the most sophisticated potential adversaries.

Most importantly, LongShot will increase the range of manned fighters and keep pilots out of reach of hostile threats while closing on enemy targets, decreasing risks to U.S. warfighters.

How Embraer Was Born - The Story Of A Brazilian Startup

Embraer is currently the third-most important aircraft manufacturer worldwide. Until the middle of the 2010s, the company was in a toe-to-toe battle with Canadian builder Bombardier both on the commercial and executive markets. Now, the manufacturer's flagship jet, the E2 is struggling to sell units, but the company's business has remained strong as a whole. But, how was Embraer born?

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. Martínez Meijide.

Este reconocimiento al esfuerzo realizado por el 43 Grupo la pasada campaña de verano se une a otros galardones civiles como la Placa al Mérito de Protección Civil del Gobierno de Aragón, la Medalla de Honor del Club Español del Medio Ambiente, el Premio Zamorano del Año de la Fundación Caja Rural de Zamora o el Medallón a la Excelencia del Centro de Iniciativas y Turismo de Gran Canaria.

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.

Russia Is Using Tires To Protect Its Bombers From Aerial Attack

A covering of tires could well be calculated to break up the infrared signature of these aircraft, to confuse cruise missiles using image matching for targeting. This technique is also frequently referred to as DSMAC (Digital Scene Matching Area Correlator) or ATR (Automated Target Recognition) when used in cruise missiles.
