Together with HENSOLDT, Bombardier Defense and Bundeswehr (German Federal Armed Forces), we today celebrate the 1st flight of #PEGASUS, Germany’s next-generation airborne signals intelligence (#SIGINT) solution. As the first of three aircraft has now officially entered the flight-testing phase, it is moving one step closer to the upcoming work scopes we are proud to take care of at our headquarters in Hamburg. There, our experts are responsible for the systems integration and the regulatory certification of PEGASUS on the overall aircraft level. We have already completed the design activities for the integration of the mission system, the additional civil and military avionics systems as well as the aircraft cabin. The production process of interior parts has also already started to ensure the components’ readiness for immediate installation when the aircraft enters our hangar. “Seeing the first PEGASUS aircraft taking to the skies bearing the Lufthansa Technik Defense logo fills me with pride and also joyful anticipation, as it brings us one decisive step closer to welcoming this aircraft back at our site,” says Michael von Puttkamer, our Vice President Special Aircraft Services. “I’d like to congratulate and thank the outstanding Bombardier Defense team for their great performance in reaching this important project milestone, and I look forward to the upcoming flight test activities as well as the ongoing cooperation with HENSOLDT in the subsequent integration and certification of their highly sophisticated signals intelligence system.” #keepyouflying #lufthansatechnikdefense (Video copyright: Bombardier)

How much CO2 does your flight emit ❓ Most calculators estimate fuel burn-up using theoretical models while real time data make measurements more accurate. When calculating the CO2 emissions from a flight, it is necessary to know how much fuel is burned, and how much emissions are generated from the fuel burned. To avoid discrepancies hindering the informed choices of air passengers, harmonization of methodologies towards real-world data rather than estimates is needed.

Test flying our Volocopter aircraft in real life environments is what drives confidence among partners, regulators and the public. This week, we returned to the Paris region to conduct multiple test flights for the vertiport inauguration at Saint-Cyr-l’École of our partner, Groupe ADP, a dedicated location for future #eVTOL operations.

#Groundhandling is an integral part of #airline operations. This week we take a special look at working on the ramp while featuring Brian Bartal.
