  • 1 Revue De Presse 14-30 Juin 2019 La Compagnie Indienne Indigo a Créé
    1 Revue de presse 14-30 juin 2019 La compagnie indienne IndiGo a créé la surprise en se tournant vers CFM International pour lui commander des LEAP-1A qui viendront motoriser 280 Airbus A320neo et A321neo. La compagnie indienne était pourtant cliente de lancement du PW1100G-JM de Pratt & Whitney dans le pays en 2016, avec 79 monocouloirs remotorisés d'Airbus en flotte aujourd'hui. La coentreprise de Safran Aircraft Engines et GE précise que ce contrat, qui comprend des moteurs en spare et un volet entretien à long terme, est estimé à plus de 20 milliards de dollars. Le premier A320neo motorisé par des LEAP est attendu par la compagnie indienne en 2020. IndiGo avait essuyé les plâtres avec ses GTF, avec de nombreuses AOG liées aux moteurs ainsi que des limitations opérationnelles. Le LEAP-1A équipe aujourd'hui les monocouloirs remotorisés des compagnies indiennes Air India et Vistara. Le Journal de l’Aviation 18/06/2019 Airbus a finalement confirmé lundi le lancement de l’A321XLR, version de l’A321neo au rayon d’action porté à 4700nm. Le premier client annoncé est la société de leasing Air Lease Corp, qui en veut 27 sur une commande visant cent monocouloirs dont 50 A220-300 et 23 A321neo. Lancé ce 17 juin 2019 au premier jour du Salon du Bourget « à la suite des réactions très positives du marché », l’A321XLR offrira à partir de 2023 une autonomie « sans précédent et Xtra longue » pouvant atteindre 4700 nm, soit 15% de plus que l’A321LR et avec le « même rendement énergétique imbattable ».

  • Gandhi: a Player of Infinite Games
    TIF - Gandhi: A Player of Infinite Games VINAY LAL October 4, 2019 Photos courtesy: Sabarmati Ashram Preservation and Memorial Trust and Gandhi Heritage Portal Even radical dissenters have experimented within some boundaries. Gandhi played with boundaries themselves in nearly every domain of life — politics, sexuality, culture, knowledge. He was uniquely a player of infinite games with a vision of life as play. The African American activist, Bayard Rustin, is acknowledged by scholars as one of the principal figures in the Civil Rights Movement of the United States and the chief architect of the famous March on Washington in 1963 where Martin Luther King, Jr. mesmerised the large gathering with his “I Have a Dream” speech, an oracular demonstration of his rhetorical gifts. Lesser known, at least to the general public, is the fact that Rustin was a lifelong student of the life and work of Gandhi who had a large hand in shaping King’s understanding of satyagraha and bringing nearly the entire arsenal of Gandhian ideas of mass nonviolent resistance to the fore in the struggle for civil and political rights. His most prominent biographer, John D’Emilio, says unhesitatingly that “more than anyone else, Rustin brought the message and methods of Gandhi to the United States.” Rustin’s eyes were turned upon the anti-colonial struggle in India and he was firmly of the view that “no situation in America has created so much interest among negroes as the Gandhian proposals for India’s freedom.” King was but a schoolboy when Rustin had already established a reputation as a “one-man nonviolent army” working on behalf of the Fellowship of Reconciliation (FOR), an international religious organisation that advocated radical pacifism and that in the US sought a distinctive and revolutionary approach to the race problem.
