  • Air Greenland Places Christmas Order for an A330neo
    Air Greenland places Christmas order for an A330neo #A330neo @AirGreenlandSAS Toulouse, 18 December 2020 – Air Greenland, the flag-carrier for Greenland, is the latest airline to order Airbus’ next generation A330neo widebody aircraft. The new A330-800 will replace the airline’s ageing Airbus A330-200ceo to secure operations linking the Arctic island with Denmark from end of 2022 onwards and beyond. Air Greenland’s CEO’s Jacob Nitter Sørensen said: “The A330neo is a fundamental part of Air Greenland’s fleet strategy. The new aircraft will, for years to come, offer travellers to and from Greenland a unique inflight experience while leaving the lowest carbon footprint possible. The A330neo is a perfect fit for the very challenging task of providing safe and efficient all year passenger, cargo and freight services to and from Greenland.” “We’re pleased to see Air Greenland renew its confidence in the A330 Family and join the growing number of operators who are selecting the A330neo as a logical replacement for their ageing fleets,” said Christian Scherer, Airbus Chief Commercial Officer. “To imagine the airline’s distinctive red livery set against the Arctic’s environment provides some Christmas cheer at the end of a year that has been harsh for our entire industry.” The Airbus A330neo is a true new-generation aircraft, building on features popular for the A330ceo and developed for the latest technology A350. Equipped with a compelling Airspace cabin, the A330neo offers a unique passenger experience with the latest- generation, in-flight entertainment systems and connectivity. Powered by the latest Rolls- Royce Trent 7000 engines, and featuring a new wing with increased span and A350-inspired ‘Sharklets’, the A330neo also provides an unprecedented level of efficiency – with 25% lower fuel-burn per seat than previous-generation competitors.

  • Air Transport
    The History of Air Transport KOSTAS IATROU Dedicated to my wife Evgenia and my sons George and Yianni Copyright © 2020: Kostas Iatrou First Edition: July 2020 Published by: Hermes – Air Transport Organisation Graphic Design – Layout: Sophia Darviris Material (either in whole or in part) from this publication may not be published, photocopied, rewritten, transferred through any electronical or other means, without prior permission by the publisher. Preface ommercial aviation recently celebrated its first centennial. Over the more than 100 years since the first Ctake off, aviation has witnessed challenges and changes that have made it a critical component of mod- ern societies. Most importantly, air transport brings humans closer together, promoting peace and harmo- ny through connectivity and social exchange. A key role for Hermes Air Transport Organisation is to contribute to the development, progress and promo- tion of air transport at the global level. This would not be possible without knowing the history and evolu- tion of the industry. Once a luxury service, affordable to only a few, aviation has evolved to become accessible to billions of peo- ple. But how did this evolution occur? This book provides an updated timeline of the key moments of air transport. It is based on the first aviation history book Hermes published in 2014 in partnership with ICAO, ACI, CANSO & IATA. I would like to express my appreciation to Professor Martin Dresner, Chair of the Hermes Report Committee, for his important role in editing the contents of the book. I would also like to thank Hermes members and partners who have helped to make Hermes a key organisa- tion in the air transport field.

  • Development of Trent Series Large Turbo Fan Engines
    Technical Description Development of Trent Series Large Turbo Fan Engines As the demand for aircraft has been increasing, fuel efficiency needs to be improved. Therefore, the performance of the engine as well as the fuselage must be enhanced. We are in charge of design, part manufacturing and module assembly of the intermediate pressure compressor (IPC) at development of all the Trent Series large turbo fan engines from Rolls-Royce after the Trent 1000, the first model of which helped develop in 2004, as their strategic partner. Going forward, we will promote activities to take charge of the overall IPC module as an IPC module integrator by developing ©Rolls-Royce plc proprietary design and manufacturing technologies. Introduction Aircraft are an essential means of transportation in To be launched in 2018 global society, and aircraft manufacturers are competing Trent 7000 Thrust: to develop new types of aircraft. Engines equipping such 68,000-72,000lb Airbus A330neo aircraft must be highly reliable, lightweight and fuel efficient, as well as environmentally friendly (low NOx, low Trent XWB noise). Thrust: 84,000-97,000lb Airbus A350 XWB 1 Background Trent 1000 The demand for aircraft is expected to grow by about Thrust: 53,000-74,000lb 5% annually even in the long term, pushed by factors Boeing 787 such as the rapid expansion of Low-Cost Carriers (LCCs). To meet such market needs, The Boeing Company in the Trent 900 US and Airbus in Europe are developing new types of Thrust: 80,000lb aircraft. Rolls-Royce plc (Rolls-Royce) in the UK, one of the Airbus A380 world's major aircraft engine manufacturers, has been developing and supplying its Trent series for such aircraft, Trent 500 Thrust: and we are participating in programs to manufacture the 60,000lb series as a Risk- and Revenue-Sharing Partner (RRSP).

    Engine Values Book Issue: 20 – March 2020 Member of ISTAT UK CAA Approval No. UK.MG.0622 www.iba.aero Welcome to the 18th edion of IBA’s Engines Values. We have updated it with current views on engine values, lease rates, maintenance costs and maintenance informaon along with market data supported by IBA.iQ, our Online Plaorm which now provides engine values. In this year’s editorial, we must of course recognise the recent and sudden onset of the Covid‐19 pandemic. At the me of wring, we appear to be nearing the peak of daily new cases though much of this remains uncertain with the world’s governments connuing efforts to promote self‐isolaon and quaranne. The aviaon market has seen a steep drop in demand with some operators parking all aircra and others parking up to 80% of their fleet. Future demand levels remain as yet uncertain, but we are monitoring the situaon carefully. Naturally, due to the unclear condions that lie ahead, the market has effecvely been put on hold and as such all quoted values and lease rates provided in this edion refer to the market situaon immediately prior to the Covid‐19 outbreak. The impacts of Covid‐19 will be far reaching, affecng everyday lives of the world’s populaon for several years. IBA spends a great deal of me assessing the relaonship between base and market values, carefully considering short‐, medium‐ and long‐term factors. So, whilst market values can fluctuate, we remain confident in the connuing stability of base values overall. The variables here will typically be the duraon and scale of the soening values, inevitably affecng some markets more than others.

Prof. Feng Liu PhD. Prof. Filippo Maggi PhD. locations: Irvine, California Milano, Italia That you are here — that life exists and identity, That the powerful play goes on, and you may contribute a verse. — Walt Whitman, 1867 to my family ABSTRACT The gas turbine engine efficiency deteriorates dramatically when its size is reduced. This fact limits its use for low-power and long du- ration applications, due to fuel weight. It is conceivable to replace a small scale gas turbine engine with a different power generating tech- nology such as a Diesel engine providing higher efficiency. In this work, comparisons are made for propulsion systems for unmanned flights with several hundred kilowatts of propulsive power at mod- erate subsonic speeds up to fifty hours in duration. The weights of the propulsion system, required fuel, and total aircraft are consid- ered. Gas-turbine engines, two- and four-stroke reciprocating (diesel and spark-ignition) engines, and electric motors (with battery stor- age and/or electric generation) are analyzed.

These include 26 business, 244 economy and for the first time premium economy with 21 seats. The A330neos will boost capacity and non-stop connectivity between the French Pacific Island territory and markets in Japan, Australia and the Pacific Islands nations, cutting fuel burn by 25% per seat (compared with previous generation competitors) and providing passengers with the latest standards in cabin comfort. These routes provide essential links to tourism as well as business traffic which are essential to the New Caledonia economy. The A330neo is the true new-generation aircraft building on the most popular wide body A330’s features and leveraging on A350 XWB technology.
