What Did We Learn At EBACE 2024? The business case for exhibiting at an expensive Swiss show and extra security measures to prevent eco-activists from invading the static display like they did in 2023 dominated conversations at the European Business Aviation Convention and Exhibition (EBACE) in Geneva last week. Nevertheless, exhibitors and visitors used EBACE for what it was created for: showcasing products like Leonardo's AW09 and discussing how to solve business aviation's problems. Short-term issues ranged from airport access for business aircraft to ensuring enough pilots are in the training pipeline. Meanwhile, sustainability was the overarching longer-term matter for business aviation. In addition to conventional, albeit brand-new, business jets on the EBACE 2024 static display, futuristic vehicles and demonstrators could be seen on the Palexpo exhibit floor, such as in advanced air mobility and hydrogen-powered aircraft. https://lnkd.in/gAHR9NGS

What was your #AAD2022 highlight? With so many options to include, we found it hard to select just one! Take a look at a couple of key moments from our 2022 event. #aviation #defenceindustry #aerospaceanddefence

As a hugely successful Farnborough International Airshow 2024 drew to a close with £81.5bn worth of deals, the focus on the fifth and final day is now firmly focused towards the next generation who will be shaping the future of the industry. Two years ago PAULEY were invited to attend #FIA2022 as public visitors to discuss a visionary new technology demonstrator programme with BAE Systems Air Training Team. Not having had an excuse to attended #FIA before, the scale and energy of the event was both overwhelming and awe-inspiring. #FIA2022 had returned after a 4 year haitus and introduced the Pioneers of Tomorrow initiative. No other single location in the world has contributed so much to the development of aeronautical science over such a long period of time as Farnborough. From the first airborne cameras and flying clothing, to high altitude space suits, night vision aids, head-up cockpit displays and the first carbon fibre experiments, the list of Farnborough’s aerospace innovators is endless. But sat atop a small roundabout outside Farnborough Airport sits a remarkably unassuming monument to the British aviation powerhouse, lifelong learner, pilot and engineer Sir Frank Whittle; a replica of the very first aircraft to fly with a jet engine, the Gloster E28/39. In modern procurement parlance, the “Gloster Pioneer” proved to be a perfect technology demonstration programme. When Whittle was born on 1 June 1907, the world airspeed record stood at 41.3 km/h. By the time of his death in 1996 the world airspeed record was 3,529.6 km/h This year we attended Farnborough as a BAE Systems Air technology partner in the true sense of the word. During that time, #ProjectOdySSEy, now part of the newly established #FalconWorks has evolved from an in-house proof of concept, to a minimal viable product demonstrator at #DSEI24, to a commercially available platform for BAE Systems global clientele. Furthermore FalconWorks has rolled out a parallel initiative, #ProjectCanDLE with a mission to enhance digital learning within the rapidly evolving world of #AI. All products being designed by FalconWorks, which has firmly established itself as world class research and development hub, include technologies such as uncrewed aircraft and elements of the UK’s future combat air systems, are being developed for the all domain training requirements of today and operational environment of tomorrow. The speed of progress has been astonishing, an achievement I’m sure the late great Sir Frank Whittle would be very proud of. Here's to the Pioneers of Today Lucy Walton Nick Smith Richard S.

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

EAA AirVenture Oshkosh featured a vital class today: "ATC & You: How to Make the Most of Flying VFR," presented at the NATCA booth and led by Gabe Benjamin (Brackett ATCT, POC) and Remigio (Ray) Castlewhite (Tri-Cities ATCT, TRI). During flights conducted under Visual Flight Rules, pilots navigate using visual references rather than relying on instruments. This class addressed VFR pilots’ common avoidance of controlled airspace and highlighted the benefits of engaging with ATC and using flight following. Attendees learned about common misconceptions, phraseology tips, and discovered how to more efficiently navigate the system while flying VFR. #OSH24 #1u #UnionsForAll #Unions #Labor #LaborUnions #UnionStrong #Unionize #Essential #aviation #ATC #NATCAfamily #NATCAStrong #AirTrafficControllers #NATCA #NATCAproud #weguideyouhome #strongertogether #solidarity

The 🇫🇷🇩🇪🇪🇸 #NGWS within #FCAS programme had its programme progress review on Pillar 1️⃣ that is about the Next Generation Fighter Demonstrators comprised of two specimens, one flying with a maid flight expected in 2029 and one on the ground. This aims at addressing stakes like maneuvrability, low observability, weapon release and cockpit integration in addition to technology maturation in many domains. It was time to look at the progress already made and the upcoming milestones more specifically with the Concept System Review. Thanks to Dassault Aviation along with Airbus Defence and Space GmbH and Airbus Defence and Space SAU for this review! It perfectly and brightly concludes 2023 that put the phase 1B on the launch pad starting the skyrocketing phase🚀. 2024 will fall within the same momentum even more with new progress and challenges. The 🔑: 🇫🇷🇩🇪🇪🇸 industries and MoD working together in a cooperative mindset.

Had a fantastic first day at #AIAA Aviation with Rut Lineswala! Engaged with current #aerospace & #defense customers, partners, and collaborators, and had a wonderful time reconnecting with old friends. Stop by at BosonQ Psi (BQP)'s booth (45) in the expo hall if you're attending the conference tomorrow. #CFD #Simulations #Quantum #QuantumComputing #MDO #DesignOptimization #Multiphysics
