  • The Relevance of the Franco-German Engine in the European Institutional Space Triangle
    Master’s double degree program me in European studies Europa-Universität Viadrina Frankfurt (Oder) / Institut d’Études Politiques de Strasbourg THE RELEVANCE OF THE FRANCO-GERMAN ENGINE IN THE EUROPEAN INSTITUTIONAL SPACE TRIANGLE “To what extent will France and Germany, despite their inner differences and while evolving in an unusual three-level institutional context, be able to express their role as engines for Europe in space? “ Charles GALLAND Under the supervision of Pr. Valérie LOZAC’H and Pr. Dr. Timm BEICHELT Summary The following thesis presents an analysis of the Franco-German relationship in European space policy (EUSP), a new field of European integration in the European Union in such that space has only become shared competence of the European Union with the Lisbon Treaty in 2007. The aim of this work is to verify if the common myth of the Franco-German’s leading role for the EU is relevant in a scientific domain that has constructed itself outside and in parallel of the Community institutions. First, a comparison of both France and Germany, will reveal that each country is guided by different historical, strategic and economic logics when dealing with space issues. Second, the thesis suggests that, despite these differences, a Franco-German consensus within the European space triangle will have the effect to reinforce Europe as a first-order space power. Foreword This thesis was produced under the supervision of Pr. Valérie LOZAC’H, of the Institut d’Études Politiques of Strasbourg, and Pr. Dr. Timm BEICHELT, of the Europa-Universität Viadrina of Frankfurt (Oder). I would like to thank them for their insightful comments and encouragement, but also for the hard questions which incented me to widen my research from various perspectives.

  • As Authorized Marketing Agents for SAS, Bombardier Presents for Sale Q400 Aircraft - 4010
    As Authorized Marketing Agents for SAS, Bombardier Presents for Sale Q400 Aircraft - 4010 Rev. 6 B Aircraft Summary: The Q400 is an extraordinary modern technology turboprop, offering airlines exceptional economics with jet speed and comfort in the 70-seat market. Designed to meet the requirements of regional airlines for more seats, superior economics and greater speed in the high-density regional arena, the Q400 is also replacing and supplementing jets on many regional and mainline routes worldwide. With a maximum cruise speed of 360 kts, outstanding performance and seating of up to 78 passengers, the Q400 provides airlines with greater revenue-generating opportunities in regional and low cost markets and extends an airline's reach well beyond traditional turboprop markets. The Q400 is easily as fast as most jets on airline routes under 500 miles (800 km) and it’s extraordinary economics, best of any regional aircraft today, are enabling it to compete effectively against established low cost carriers. While the Q400 is larger and faster than the other Q Series models, the same pool of pilots can fly this aircraft, resulting in reduced crew costs for airlines with a mixed Q Series fleet. Aircraft History: SAS was the launch customer of the Q400. The SAS fleet Q400 was delivered as new aircraft directly from Bombardier between February 2000 and February 2002. In late October 2007, SAS elected to voluntarily withdraw the Q400 from active service and subsequently offer 24 Q400 aircraft for sale. Rev 6, Page 2 of 10 B Aircraft Specification: Technical Data PDF Delivery Conditions: The SAS Q400 aircraft will be delivered in the following condition: • Valid C of A and if required a C of A for Export • Fresh next due C-Check to MRB Standard (Note aircraft 4012 and 4036 will be sold on the basis of C-checks already done to SAS Maintenance Program) • All Airworthiness Directives due 90 days after delivery • Engines, props and landing gear times and cycles largely in accordance with the attached spec sheets.
