90 years ago today, on 20 April 1914, Howard Pixton flew a Sopwith Tabloid floatplane to victory in the Schneider Trophy. Pixton completed the 28 laps of a 10km triangular course at Monaco in 2 hours, 13 minutes and 5 seconds, averaging 85.4mph. It was the first British win in the contest, which Great Britain would ultimately win outright in 1931 at an average speed of 340.08mph. Competition has long spawned improvement and innovation in aviation, do we need more prizes in 2024 to encourage further aerospace development? #avgeek #sustainableaviation #airracing #schneidertrophy

Opportunities to quickly have a well paying job in the aviation field are plentiful. Mid way through the video below is a good explanation of where you can take advantage of this.

Ever wonder how planes are able to carry so much weight or how they land smoothly? Or what happens when turbulence hits and planes stabilize? Well, that's ATI. Our #ProvenToPerform approach helps us meet the demands of aero engine and structure designs to ensure our customers' success. Explore more about how you can't fly without ATI from July 22-26 at the Farnborough International Airshow, #C318-322 ✈️ #FIA2024 #MaterialsScience

Where does the inspiration for the future of aviation greatness come from? It comes from entities like Boom Supersonic, Archer, Joby Aviation, Wisk, Gulfstream Aerospace, BOMBARDIER, and Embraer. They strive to meet every milestone and break every record. But what happens when they don't get the desired result? Fortunately, their leaders are knowledgeable about the shoulders they stand on. They understand that every X-15 test flight, Kelly Johnson experimental aircraft test, and Chuck Yeager record attempt didn’t go as planned. They know that persistence is key. We are here today because they didn’t give up. They learned what they could from each and every try. The National Aeronautic Association has been a part of aviation greatness since 1905. We are the record keepers and the holders of the recognitions that the greatest in aviation continue to seek. Join us and be a part of aviation's past and future.

Aernnova Aerospace at the 11th Editon of AED Days 2024 organised by the AED Cluster Portugal of which Aernnova Évora is a partner. Goretti Sampayo, Aernnova's Procurement Director was present in this edition together with the main international players of the aerospace and defence industry, discussing the challenges of this industry chain.   “The main opportunity for Tier 1 suppliers like Aernnova with the current demands and requirements of OEMs, is the opportunity to grow with them. However, the challenge is to capture it with sustainable quality, reliable deliveries, and costs. To overcome these challenges, we need to build a resilient supply chain, and keep on innovating.” #AED #AEDClusterPortugal #AEDDays2024 #Aeronautics #Space #Defence #Aernnova

October 16 is a significant date in aviation history, marking several important milestones that have shaped the course of human flight. These milestones represent achievements in technology, exploration, and innovation, reflecting the relentless pursuit of expanding the boundaries of what is possible in the skies. One of the most notable events commemorated on this day is the first successful flight of the Lockheed Vega, which took place in 1927. The Vega was a groundbreaking aircraft designed by John Knudsen Northrop and Gerard Vultee while they were working for Lockheed. It was renowned for its high speed and long-range capabilities, making it a preferred choice for record-setting pilots of the era, including Amelia Earhart and Wiley Post. The Vega's advanced design and performance set new standards in aviation and contributed significantly to the development of more modern aircraft. Another milestone celebrated on October 16 is the historic flight of the Bell X-1 in 1947, piloted by Chuck Yeager. This flight marked the first time a human exceeded the speed of sound in level flight, a feat that was previously deemed impossible due to the "sound barrier." Yeager's successful mission demonstrated that supersonic flight was achievable, paving the way for future advancements in military and commercial aviation. Additionally, October 16 marks the anniversary of the founding of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in 1958. Established to ensure the safety and efficiency of the burgeoning air transportation system, the FAA has played a crucial role in regulating and overseeing civil aviation in the United States. Its establishment underscored the growing importance of air travel in the modern world and the need for comprehensive oversight to ensure passenger safety and the smooth operation of national airspace. These events, celebrated on October 16, highlight the enduring spirit of innovation and exploration that drives the aviation industry. They serve as a reminder of the remarkable achievements that have been made possible through human ingenuity and the continuous quest for progress in the realm of flight. #AviationHistory #LockheedVega #SupersonicFlight #FAAAnniversary #AviationInnovation #FlightMilestones #AerospaceAdvancements #AviationPioneers
