🔺 The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has certified the clean-sheet Gulfstream G600 for steep approach to landing, opening access to more airports around the world. The G600 has successfully demonstrated its steep-approach capabilities with low-speed handling and short-field landings at London City Airport in England and Lugano Airport in Switzerland. These challenging airports require steep-approach operations, as London City has a short runway and Lugano is located in the mouth of a valley. 🔺 “This certification further increases global access for the G600,” said Mark Burns, president, Gulfstream Aerospace “Building on the speed and range performance advantages that G600 customers already experience, steep-approach capability broadens possibilities and increases flexibility for travel.” 🌐 𝐅𝐮𝐥𝐥 𝐀𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐥𝐞 : https://swll.to/FWoUp4 #businessaviation #aviationworld #businessjets #aeronautical #aeronautique #aeroworld #aero #aeronautics #Aircraft #privatejet #Aviation #Gulfstream

Last week, Benoit Ferran also gave a lecture at the Royal Aeronautical Society - Paris Branch that is a British and the world's only professional membership association dedicated to the aerospace, aviation industry and to its global community. The topic of the lecture was one very important for Ascendance: Hybridization unlocking Advanced Air Mobility Why so❔ 1️⃣ Our DNA from the origin: to develop hybridization technologies as the best path toward a more sustainable (and someday decarbonized) aviation with SAF compatibility and transition 2️⃣ Hybridization will unlock advanced air mobility to reach market viability, especially on payload, range, speed and turn-around time expectations 3️⃣ Full battery architectures are and will stay too limited in performance and restricted to very light aviation or demonstrators 4️⃣ Hybridization gives us a starting market for helicopter replacement with our new generation aircraft We were happy our vision about hybridization in aviation was very well received by the key-players and experts who attended. Hybrid electric is the long-haul flight to cleaner connections❕ #aam #futureofaviation #sustainability Royal Aeronautical Society David Cook Howard R.

Aerospace Industry and Innovation Day ✈️ International Civil Aviation Organization's European and North Atlantic office brought together 35 of its Directors General of Civil Aviation in Toulouse this week, and ATR proudly represented the vibrant spirit of regional aviation. Hosted by Airbus and GIFAS - Groupement des Industries Françaises Aéronautiques et Spatiales, the Aerospace Industry and Innovation Day aimed to foster knowledge sharing and discussions on the latest advancements in the industry, with a special focus on decarbonisation. Our CEO, Nathalie Tarnaud Laude, conveyed ATR's pioneering vision, emphasizing our commitment to #innovation, industry transformation, and reimagining the way we travel. Our goal is clear: to ensure a promising future for generations to come. ✔️ ATRs are not concepts but a proven reality! The ATR -600 series, with an impressive track record of 36 million flight hours, stands as the regional aircraft with the lowest emissions on the market today, emitting a remarkable 45% less CO2 than regional jets of similar size. It has become the preferred choice for airlines, communities, and economies seeking responsible connectivity. ✔️ Imagine the impact: Replacing all regional jets currently operating in Europe on routes below 500NM with ATRs would result in a colossal 33% reduction in CO2 emissions. ✔️ As we strive to be 100% SAF (Sustainable Aviation Fuel) ready by next year, we are also actively exploring a more disruptive aircraft concept—the ATR EVO. This medium-term solution aims to significantly reduce emissions in regional aviation without compromising on accessibility and versatility, which are indispensable to the communities relying on our aircraft. Join us on our innovation journey and discover how ATR is shaping the future of low-emission aviation 👉 https://lnkd.in/eqEd_JGZ

Celebrating Aviation Milestones on October 15 October 15 holds a special place in the annals of aviation history, marking significant achievements that have shaped modern air travel. This date commemorates several pioneering events and breakthroughs that underscore the progress of aviation technology over the years. One of the most notable milestones occurred on October 15, 1930, when the first passenger flight of the airship 'Graf Zeppelin' took off from Germany. This historic journey marked a new era in air travel, offering unprecedented comfort and luxury to its passengers as it traversed long distances. The success of the Graf Zeppelin demonstrated the potential of airships for passenger transport, even as airplanes were becoming more popular. Another significant event took place on October 15, 1947, when the U.S. Air Force's Bell X-1, piloted by Chuck Yeager, became the first aircraft to exceed the speed of sound in level flight. This groundbreaking achievement was a pivotal moment in aviation history, proving that supersonic flight was possible and paving the way for future advancements in both military and commercial aviation. On October 15, 1975, the aviation world witnessed another leap forward with the launch of the first prototype of the Airbus A300. As the first twin-engine wide-body aircraft, the A300 represented a major innovation in airliner design, promoting fuel efficiency and setting new standards for passenger comfort. The success of the A300 laid the foundation for Airbus to become a major player in the global aviation industry. These milestones, among others celebrated on October 15, highlight the dynamic and transformative nature of aviation history. They serve as reminders of human ingenuity and the relentless pursuit of progress in conquering the skies. #milestonesinaviationhistory #aviationhistory #GrafZeppelinJourney #BreakthroughSupersonicFlight #ChuckYeagerLegacy #SupersonicMilestone #AirbusA300Innovation #AviationProgress
