Did anybody manage to get over to Southport for the airshow this weekend? Anybody going to Farnborough? What about RIAT? Our CEO Jerrod Hartley has featured in the Aerospace Magazine Farnborough Edition, and it's well worth a read if you have a bit of time, and although he won't be in personal attendance at Farnborough, he will be down in Fairford for the Royal International Air Tattoo (RIAT 2024) at the end of the week. https://lnkd.in/ek-UQhJK An airshow is a great opportunity to stand back and appreciate why we do what we do. Seeing these great machines in action is impressive, but also an opportunity for reflection. It wasn't really that long ago since Wilbur and Orville Wright created the first successful heavier than air flying machine, the Wright Flyer, in 1903, where it achieved a powered flight of 59 seconds covering a distance of 259 metres. It's incredible how far we've come in a relatively short space of time, with modern aircraft with incredible safety and performance profiles. Take the Eurofighter Typhoon for example, which entered service way back in 2003, with some mightily impressive stats: Top speed - Mach 2.0 (approx. 1,550 mph) Ceiling - 55,000 feet Climb Rate - 0 to 36,000 feet in under 90 seconds Acceleration - subsonic to Mach 1.5 in under 30 seconds Thrust - 40,000 lb (equivalent to the weight of over 13 VW Golfs) So, here's to all the hard work, dedication, creative thinking, and human ingenuity that have driven our progress over the past several hundred years. Let's also toast to the future, where we will continue to push boundaries and overcome new challenges with the same dedication and vigour. While the challenges of the future may differ from those of the past, our approach remains steadfast and committed to innovation and excellence. What's your favourite aircraft and why?

Questioning the collective mind … in aviation we speak about “airmanship”, defined as "Airmanship is the consistent use of good judgment and well-developed skills to accomplish flight objectives. This consistency is founded on a cornerstone of uncompromising flight discipline and is developed through systematic skill acquisition and proficiency. A high state of situational awareness completes the airmanship picture and is obtained through knowledge of one’s self, aircraft, environment, team and risk." (see https://lnkd.in/ds_pp9it) Which I would abbreviate as “consistant and proper understanding and action in the operational airspace context (by those flying)” My question is, what would be a single word that would translate the same concept - analogous concept - for engineering work (in whatever domain)? Or maybe you might think the question doesn’t make sense :) that’s ok too.

In the simplest terms, TSO certification is a “minimum performance standard” for parts used on civil aircraft. But, don’t let “minimum” fool you – it’s a high bar – especially since it’s the FAA’s mission is to provide the safest aerospace system in the world. Our headsets meet and even exceed TSO standards.

What happens between XB-1 test flights? Step into the hangar with Senior Manager of Aircraft Systems Erin Young to learn what happens before XB-1 takes off and after XB-1 returns to the hangar. Go inside the flight test program as XB-1 progresses toward Mach 1. Read more on the full program as the team gears up for flight five here: https://lnkd.in/eSwrM3_u

We anticipate quite a gathering at this year's NIMA conference on Coeur d'Alene Lake. Workforce? Industry trends for advanced manufacturing? Spokane's new advanced aerospace materials technology hub? Yes, and more! #manufacturingindustry #aerospacemanufacturing #medicaldevices #supplychainmanagement
