  • Information February 2018
    Information February 2018 Airbus Defence and Space in the Asia-Pacific The Airbus Defence and Space division has been present in the Asia-Pacific for around 40 years, going back to the introduction of the C212 light transport aircraft in the region. This is the fastest growing defence and space market in the world and worth an estimated €50 billion over the next four years to 2021, according to the company’s projections. Today, almost 150 Airbus military aircraft and five of the company’s satellites are in service in the region. Airbus has also supplied components for space systems, launched satellites, and provided communications, intelligence and surveillance services for customer across the Asia-Pacific. Airbus is also a long-term industrial partner with a footprint in the region since the 1970s, and is looking to develop further its relationship with companies and countries in the Asia-Pacific. Amid strong economic growth and competition for resources, there has been significant interest from customers for products across the Airbus military aircraft, space, unmanned aerial systems (UAS) and communications, intelligence and security (CIS) business lines. MILITARY AIRCRAFT Around 140 Airbus light and medium tactical aircraft (C212, CN235 and C295) are in service in the region. These are operated by military services, as well as government and civil agencies, in Bangladesh, Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, Pakistan, Papua New Guinea, the Philippines, South Korea, Thailand, and Vietnam. These aircraft are mostly deployed on transport operations, as well as missions such as search and rescue, maritime patrol and rain-making. In particular, there are 16 C295s in service in the region with operators in Bangladesh, Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam.

  • Flight-Test of Eurofighter Aerodynamic Upgrades Completed Modifications
    News MILITARY AIRCRAFT 15 July 2015 Flight-test of Eurofighter aerodynamic upgrades completed Modifications boost agility and weapons-carrying capability Airbus Defence and Space has successfully completed flight-testing of a package of aerodynamic upgrades to the Eurofighter Typhoon swing-role fighter that promises to enhance further the aircraft’s agility and weapons-carrying ability. The Aerodynamic Modification Kit (AMK) is part of a wider Eurofighter Enhanced Manoeuvrability (EFEM) programme with the potential to help ensure the type’s continuing superiority for many years to come. It entails primarily the addition of fuselage strakes and leading-edge root extensions, which increase the maximum lift created by the wing by 25% - resulting in an increased turn rate, tighter turning radius, and improved nose-pointing ability at low speed – all critical fighter capabilities in air-to-air combat. The introduction of the AMK will not only enhance the Eurofighter’s current capability as a swing-role fighter-bomber, but will provide additional growth potential, enabling easier integration of future air–to-surface configurations and much more flexible applications, vastly enhancing the aircraft’s mission effectiveness in the air-to-surface role. Eurofighter Project Pilot Germany Raffaele Beltrame said: “This programme has been a tremendous success with very impressive results – in some areas even better than we expected. “We saw angle of attack values around 45% greater than on the standard aircraft, and roll rates up to 100% higher, all leading to increased agility. The handling qualities appeared to be markedly improved, providing more manoeuvrability, agility and precision while performing tasks representative of in-service operations.
