    Fiche pédagogique ANPI Date : 10/07/2019 – page : 1/20 Référence : FICHE ANPI 2019/1 Rédacteur : Pierre Belair L’approche, l’atterrissage… et la remise des gaz Normalement, tout vol se termine par un atterrissage… Eventuellement une remise des gaz si celui-ci s’avère mal engagé ! A travers ce mémo (ok, un peu plus long que de coutume, mais le sujet le mérite), nous allons tenter de comprendre ce qui se passe, ou peut se passer, lors de cette phase critique du vol. Avant tout une histoire d’énergie Comme chacun sait, voler nécessite de l’énergie ! Si un planeur ne dispose que de sa perpétuelle chute comme source d’énergie, un avion profite d’un moteur aux ordres du pilote. Il pourra, dans certaines limites évidemment, ajuster la quantité d’énergie disponible à la quantité requise pour tenir une pente (vitesse verticale) et une vitesse (vitesse horizontale). Pour commencer, un petit rappel sur l’incidence : Exclusivement en palier (avion – 1 –), l’assiette « i » peut être 1 Incidence assimilée à l’incidence de l’avion « A » « A » ; L’incidence de l’aile est généralement légèrement plus horizon Pente élevée (calage de l’aile) mais pas représentée sur ces schémas. Vitesse « A » Incidence Pour une masse donnée, « A » l’incidence et la vitesse sont liées : Les schémas – 1 – et – 2 – représentent des avions volant à 2 la même incidence, donc la horizon même vitesse, pour une assiette « i » inférieure à « ii ». L’avion – 1 – est en palier. L’avion – 2 – est en montée. Incidence L’assiette « ii » est identique sur « B » 3 les schémas – 2 – et – 3 –, horizon toutefois l’incidence « B » est supérieure à l’incidence « A » correspondant à une vitesse plus faible.

  • Superjet International and Powerjet Announce the Completion of the First Ever Export Credit Financing for a Sukhoi Superjet 100
    SuperJet International and PowerJet announce the completion of the first ever export credit financing for a Sukhoi Superjet 100 February 10th, 2013 - The first ever export credit financing package for the Sukhoi Superjet 100 was completed in December 2013 at delivery of the fourth out of twenty Sukhoi Superjet 100 (SSJ100) regional jets ordered by the Mexican airline Interjet. The aircraft was financed through a multilateral export credit guaranteed by Coface, SACE and VEB for the French, Italian and Russian partners, respectively. It represents one of the first financing transactions wholly guaranteed by Coface, the French export credit agency (ECA), for a regional aircraft. It is a first also for SACE acting as a direct guarantor for an aircraft with a 100% guarantee. At the same time, it is also a first for the Russian government, as VEB financed the Russian part in collaboration with the French and Italian export credit agencies and following OECD international rules for aircraft export credit financing. “This first ECA financing was a major international landmark in our industry - said Nazario Cauceglia, CEO of SuperJet international - and our collaboration with PowerJet and its parent company Snecma (Safran) was invaluable. I am sure it will allow a vital boost for future international sales of the SSJ100. Offering our customers not just the most efficient aircraft in its class, but also a competitive financial package, is key factor to the success of this new program." Claude Poulain, CEO of PowerJet, SaM146 engine’s manufacturer, added: “Along with SuperJet International, we are delighted with the success of this first export credit financing.

    Russia: Opportunities in the Aviation Market 2012 Page 1 of 5 Russia 2013: Opportunities in the Commercial Aircraft Market Vladislav Borodulin February 26, 2013 Brief Industry and Market Overview The Russian aviation industry is controlled by state-owned corporations United Aircraft Corporation (UAC) and Russian Technologies (Rostech RT). The Russian government “strategic” significance of the aviation industry is explained by the integrative role it plays in the Russian economy. Due to its close relationship with other associated industries - component manufacturing and machine-building - the Russian aviation industry has a significant influence on Russia’s development towards a more innovative economy. The Russian government currently pursues the development of aviation through its state strategy “Development of the Aviation Industry for 2013-2025”. The program was approved in December 2012 and the total amount of funding to be allocated is 1.7 trillion Rubles (appx. $56.6 billion). The Russian aviation industry consists of the following manufacturing segments: aircraft, helicopter, aircraft engine, avionics, and air components. The industry includes 248 Russian enterprises. In 2011, total revenue was more than 608 billion Rubles (appx. $20.2 billion). The industry provides employment for 400,000 personnel and contributes more than 1.1% GDP to the Russian economy, according to the Russian Ministry of Industry and Trade. As part of the aviation development strategy, the Russian government is interested in international cooperation on new aircraft projects and the transfer of Western technology. This is an opportunity for U.S. companies to get a foothold in the Russian economy and to engage in mutually beneficial aviation projects.
