  • Communiqué De Presse
    Paris, 6th June 2017 PRESS RELEASE First Flight of Russian Aircraft MC-21 Nexeya supplies avionics integration and simulation tools Russia United Aircraft Corporation (UAC) successfully completed the maiden flight of their new MC-21- 300 commercial aircraft at Irkutsk Aviation Plant airfield. Being a modern aircraft, the MC-21 operates with numerous state of the art computer-controlled systems supporting safety-critical flight functions. While this may have been the first time its complex avionics systems have been tested in flight, they have been successfully integrated and tested on the ground thanks to TechSAT’s Avionics Development System ADS2 platform solution. This ADS2 platform enabled UAC Integration Center to test and validate the full MC-21 avionic suits prior to the first flight. Holistic tests including complex operational scenarios were performed during every phases of the design and development of the program ensuring maximum safety and superior performance of the aircraft. TechSAT (a Nexeya company) is proud to be part of the MC-21 program. «TechSAT solutions were designed and built on schedule; all test rigs were thus completed on time», says Victor SINITSYN, head of section at the UAC Integration Center. «ADS2 is a powerful, flexible, and stable product, to perform all required tests. ADS2 keeps its promises. ADS2 functionality is 100% reliable. TechSAT teams are open and skilled to meet customer needs». Marco Häde, TechSAT director of operations : «The key feature of TechSAT’s solutions for MC-21 simulation systems is the integration of all LRUs involved and the cockpit into a real hardware-in-the-loop setup.

  • MARKET INSIGHTS Commercial and Defence Aviation in the Middle East: Trends and Opportunities
    MARKET INSIGHTS Commercial and Defence Aviation in the Middle East: Trends and Opportunities Prepared by: Commercial and Defence Aviation in the Middle East: Trends and Opportunities The Middle East has been the rising star of the aerospace industry over the last two decades bolstered by a natural strategic location and concerted efforts from operators and governments to foster the market. In the commercial sector, Middle Eastern growth is fuelled by passenger numbers and a clear eastward movement of the global centre of activity. Growth in the defence sector comes as governments assert themselves amid regional tensions. Whilst the prospects for aircraft sales across both sectors to the region are obvious, the opportunities extend to establishing strategic alliances or in regional manufacturing to develop and support the growing fleets. KEY POINTS • Growth in the Middle East aerospace market is felt across both the commercial and defence sectors. • By 2037, 501 million passengers will transit through the Middle East and Dubai will be the number one Mega Aviation City. • Nearly 3,000 commercial planes and 64,000 pilots will be needed in the Middle East in the next 20 years to accommodate the growth. • Middle East defence spending is expected to reach USD$117 billion per annum by 2023 as the region leads the world on spend per capita and GDP. • Future Middle East spending will be driven by imports with an increasing role for domestically manufactured assets. • Technology will increasingly be used to inform tactical air force operations. COMMERCIAL AEROSPACE: TRENDS The Middle East commercial aerospace industry supports over 550,000 direct jobs plus another 2 million indirect positions and contributes USD$157.2 billion to regional GDP.

  • CRS Report for Congress Received Through the CRS Web
    Order Code RL30730 CRS Report for Congress Received through the CRS Web Russian Fighter Aircraft Industrial Base: Parallels with the United States? November 8, 2000 Christopher Bolkcom Analyst in National Defense Ellen Schwarzler Research Associate Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Division Congressional Research Service The Library of Congress This CRS Report was prepared at the request of Representative James Talent. It has been released for general congressional use with his permission. Russian Fighter Aircraft Industrial Base: Parallels with the United States? Summary There are many differences between the fighter aircraft industry in the United States and in Russia. The United States has traditionally produced its weaponry within a capitalist framework which allowed free enterprise and competition between companies in private industry. The former Soviet Union’s economy, and its fighter aircraft industry was based on a Marxist, command economy, where the central government dictated the type and number of aircraft produced and allocated resources for construction. Once among the most glamorous components of the Soviet military industrial complex, the Russian military aircraft industry has been described by some analysts as being on the verge of collapse. Russia’s civilian aircraft industry has faced similar pressures, which does not bode well for the military aviation infrastructure. It may be difficult for fighter aircraft companies to find employment in Russia’s beleaguered civil aircraft sector. The Russian government has attempted to reform its fighter aircraft industrial base and make it more efficient and competitive with western industry. It has initiated several reforms aimed at reducing the stratification and compartmentalization of industrial processes, as well as improving access to financial resources.

    The Magazine by and for Serving and Ex-RAAF People, Vol 47 and others. Page 13 It’s Elementary. Anthony Element Reflections on Terrorist Alerts. We were sitting in Harvey’s garage. I’ve told you about Harvey; Vietnam Vet, thousand yard stare, a homespun philosopher with a greying ponytail and more than his fair share of tats. He tends to think for a while before he speaks. And he reckons he does his best thinking while listening to the Grateful Dead at volumes that blister the paint on his garage walls. Fortunately, he’s got extremely tolerant neighbours. We’d just cracked our first tinnies of the day and were watching out the door as the sun eased down towards the horizon, tinting a few streaky clouds crimson and gold. Alongside Harvey stood his immaculate, gleaming Harley and beside that stood his equally gleaming, perfectly laid out tool board. I don’t have a tool board at my place. In fact, I don’t even have any tools. My wife says I’m dangerous with a tool in my hand. I don’t really know what to make of that… but on the plus side it does get me out of a fair few home maintenance chores. (See, I’m not as stupid as I look; well, not quite.) Anyway, we watched nature’s light show for a bit, then Harvey says, “What do you make of this heightened terrorism alert.” “Well,” I replied, “I’m not expecting anything too exciting in our street any time soon.” “I guess,” he said, “life must seem fairly simple to anyone who thinks the solution to every problem is to blow something up.” I took a long drink while I thought about it.

  • Seaplane Design - a Forgotten Art
    Verein Deutscher Ingenieure Hamburger Bezirksverein e.V. Arbeitskreis Luft- und Raumfahrt Hamburg Aerospace Lecture Series Hamburger Luft- und Raumfahrtvorträge DGLR in cooperation with the RAeS, HAW Hamburg, VDI, & ZAL invites you to a lecture Seaplane Design - A Forgotten Art Prof. Dr.-Ing. Elmar Wilczek, Expert in Marine Aviation Lecture followed by discussion Date: Thursday, 20 May 2021, 18:00 CEST No registration required ! Online Zoom lecture Online: http://purl.org/ProfScholz/zoom/2021-05-20 Beriev Be-200 Altair – Courtesy of United Aircraft Corporation (UAC) A seaplane gives the ultimate freedom of flight with theoretically endless take-off and alighting possibilities along the coast, on lakes and rivers – and not to forget on the open seas. The design of seaplanes is based on the knowledge of aircraft design and speedboat design. The craft must meet buoyancy and lift requirements. Hydrostatic and -dynamic stability has to be matched with the longitudinal and lateral static and dynamic stability in the air. The structure has to withstand water and air loads. Crucial are hydrodynamic resistance at take-off as well as the lift-to-drag ratio in flight and particularly the water loads in defined sea states. Sea plane design has a glorious past, but much of the knowledge is buried in dusty archives. It is even worse if knowledge is lost forever and needs to be reinvented. Elmar Wilczek has taught seaplane design for decades. In his presentation he will focus on particular research results among others: the importance of water spray for hydrodynamic resistance, scale effects, hydrodynamic elasticity for seaworthiness, length-to-beam ratio for hydrodynamics and aerodynamics.
