The fundamental changes in ownership also led to a number of major challenges. Existing structures had to be completely reorganised, a task which Unique (Flughafen Zürich AG) successfully mastered. We were able to extract all the airside functions and infrastructures that are essential for airport business from the operations previously controlled by SAirGroup and now under new ownership, and bring them under our own control.This means that we have eliminated all inter- connections with and dependencies on external providers in the area of airside operations. We can therefore look back on a period of extremely intensive activity. But we still have a very busy time ahead of us, partly due to the step-by-step hand-over of components associated with expansion stage 5, but also in view of the political uncertainties throughout the world and their impacts on international civil aviation, and the ongoing debate on the home front concerning the function, size and operation of Zurich Airport.

  • 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.

Liu 3 Aerodynamics Methods and Acoustics Branch NASA Langley Research Center, Hampton, VA 23665, USA ABSTRACT The buffet response of the flexible twin-tail/delta wing configuration-a multidisciplinary problem is solved using three sets of equations on a multi-block grid structure. The first set is the unsteady, compressible, full Navier-Stokes equations which are used for obtaining the flow-filed vector and the aerodynamic loads on the twin tails. The second set is the coupled aeroelastic equations which are used for obtaining the bending and torsional deflections of the twin tails.

    AIRFORCES MONTHLY 16-pAGE SUPPLEMENT JUNE 2013 Military DisplayEdited by Mark Broadbent Teamsof the World 2013 IR FORCES operate display teams Ato showcase the raw skills of airmanship, precision and teamwork that underpin military flying and to promote awareness and recruitment. They also have an ambassadorial role, promoting an air force and country overseas. Many covered in this supplement display overseas each year and, in some cases, frequently undertake international tours. Teams are also used to promote a country’s aerospace industry, playing informal roles in sales campaigns. As financial constraints continue to affect air force budgets globally, it will be interesting to see if aerobatic teams can maintain their military, political and industrial value.

  • 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.

  • 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.
