There is no doubt that the aerospace careers of tomorrow Rafale replacement. will be as varied as the multitude of aerospace, aviation and space careers today – with ones that we cannot even imagine. Yet a common thread links many of these – the unstoppable rise of digitisation of the ‘Fourth industrial Features revolution’ that is seeing our lives transformed at a dizzying speed by Big COMAC Data, AI and robotics. Three articles in this issue serve to make that point: 18 In ‘Training for tomorrow today’ David Learmount looks at how Boeing is updating its flight training for Millennials.

Volga-Dnepr Volga-Dnepr More automation? Volga-Dnepr is coy on the specifics of the super cargo airlifter flightdeck and avionics, apart from its Technical Director noting that it will comply with ICAO requirements to 2060 and have 100% automated flight functionality. Volga-Dnepr 4 AEROSPACE / SEPTEMBER 2017 Super-sized efficiency Volga-Dnepr predicts that a super-heavy airlifter should be some 35-40% more efficient than the current An-124-100. New engines, advances in aerodynamics modelling and a semi-blended wing body configuration will help achieve that. Next gen engines While the Antonov An-124-100 uses the 1980’s era (44,000lb thrust) Progress D-18 turbofan, a next generation super-heavy cargo aircraft will require a new, more fuel-efficient powerplant. Victor Tolmachev, An-124 Chief Designer and Volga-Dnepr’s Technical Director, believes an engine in the (66.500lb thrust) GE GEnx-2B67 class, used on the 747-8, will be needed. AIR TRANSPORT Cargo giant of the future Russian outsize air freight and logistics airline, Volga-Dnepr has revealed its concept and potential specifications for a successor to the giant Antonov An-124-100 airlifter – available for the 2040s up until 2070. Outlined in the online newsletter RusaviaInsider, Volga-Dnepr's concept shows a four-engined transport, able to carry 150-170t with a trans-Pacific range and up to 40% more efficient than the current An-124. The airline currently operates 12 An-124-100s, which are now some 40 years old and is seeing sustained growth in the outsized and super-heavy cargo market – with a 23% rise in An-124 traffic in the first half of 2017. To meet this future demand, the company believes that it will need between 50 and 100 new super cargo aircraft. Interestingly, the article on RusaviaInsider also speculated that any super heavy airlifter might well have to be an international project. @aerosociety i Find us on LinkedIn f Find us on Facebook www.aerosociety.com SEPTEMBER 2017 5 Radome DEFENCE AIR TRANSPORT Meet the Su-57 A Bombardier CSeries regional airliner has made its first revenue flight into London City Airport.

  • Technical Details of the Elliott 152 and 153
    Appendix 1 Technical Details of the Elliott 152 and 153 Introduction The Elliott 152 computer was part of the Admiralty’s MRS5 (medium range system 5) naval gunnery project, described in Chap. 2. The Elliott 153 computer, also known as the D/F (direction-finding) computer, was built for GCHQ and the Admiralty as described in Chap. 3. The information in this appendix is intended to supplement the overall descriptions of the machines as given in Chaps. 2 and 3. A1.1 The Elliott 152 Work on the MRS5 contract at Borehamwood began in October 1946 and was essen- tially finished in 1950. Novel target-tracking radar was at the heart of the project, the radar being synchronized to the computer’s clock. In his enthusiasm for perfecting the radar technology, John Coales seems to have spent little time on what we would now call an overall systems design. When Harry Carpenter joined the staff of the Computing Division at Borehamwood on 1 January 1949, he recalls that nobody had yet defined the way in which the control program, running on the 152 computer, would interface with guns and radar. Furthermore, nobody yet appeared to be working on the computational algorithms necessary for three-dimensional trajectory predic- tion. As for the guns that the MRS5 system was intended to control, not even the basic ballistics parameters seemed to be known with any accuracy at Borehamwood [1, 2]. A1.1.1 Communication and Data-Rate The physical separation, between radar in the Borehamwood car park and digital computer in the laboratory, necessitated an interconnecting cable of about 150 m in length.
