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?

Time flies when you’re having fun. And making great airplanes even better is tremendous fun! It doesn’t seem that long ago, but it was this week in 2011 (September 2nd to be precise) that Aviation Partners received FAA STC for Blended Winglets on the iconic Dassault Falcon 900 family of aircraft. The FAA STC has subsequently been validated by EASA and numerous other airworthiness authorities including those of Brazil, Canada, Mexico, and South Africa. An increasingly common sight at FBOs around the world, close to half of the in-service Falcon 900 series fleet is now enjoying the improved performance, efficiency, aesthetics, and emissions that winglets provide. For those who have yet to add winglets, below is how your 900 should look. Be sure to follow Aviation Partners for more on winglets for the Falcon 900/2000/50 series, and Hawker 800 series, business jets. Finally, for a little more fun, let me know if you recognize where this photo was taken. #WingletWednesday #ThinkWinglets #winglets #bizav #sustainableaviation #DassaultFalcon #FalconJet #Falcon900

Many are not aware that Air France's first few Aerospatiale-BAC Concorde aircraft were delivered in the airline's pre-1976 livery. Variations of this earlier color scheme had been used for decades by the French flag carrier. It was replaced by what could legitimately be called the very first "Euro-white" look. This is the design the company still uses, in slightly modified form, today. F-BTSC is seen here in the old livery, having been photographed in early 1976 at Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport. Sadly is was -BTSC which became the first, and only, Concorde to be involved in a fatal crash (in the year 2000 on departure from this very airport). After a long grounding for safety modifications the Anglo-French supersonic transports were returned to service with Air France and British Airways in 2001. The type was then permanently grounded in 2003 due largely to continuing very low load factors during the worldwide air traffic downturn in the wake of the September 11, 2001 attacks on New York and Washington D.C.

Please look carefully at such publications… Aeroflot Group will buy whatever it is told, no matter how long the delay is going to be. First of all, till now SJ-100s have been assigned only to the fleet of member of the group Rossia Airlines. Aeroflot Airlines itself does not have such type and new ones have nothing to do with SU itself. Soon or later they will come. Secondly, Tu-214 can be produced by factory in Kazan in a quantity of 4-5 per annum - not a big deal. There will be enough other customers. But…the key moment is that this type was designed according to ancient standards - with third person in the cockpit (board engineer). For SU this is the showstopper, no matter the design bureau and the producer promised to “look at the issue” MC-21 needs to prove its operational efficiency. Maybe it will be better than its Chinese rival (and potential alternative for SU) which is already operational? Let’s see….

Did you know that, on average, once every month an Airbus flightcrew lands, selects reversers and then executes a go-around anyway?! (Once every 1M flights) These are VERY scary statistics and they came to light after the serious incident I cover in the video below. I am mentioning Airbus crews here because it was Airbus who did the study, but the likelyhood is that this happens on ALL aircraft types and therefore represents one of the biggest latent threats to air-safety that I’ve come across so far. https://lnkd.in/duhBzCbM
A FREAK Coincidence?! Tap Air Portugal flight 754

The Concorde was unique in all of her aspects, On ground handling, TakeOff handling, Cruising, Approach and Landing handling. Here, AirFrance's Concorde is on final approach- the touchdown phase. Look out for the ANGLE OF ATTACK as the pilot flying executes the flare. Why was the Angle of Attack super high? Let's enlighten each other the flight parameters of the Concorde and the delta wing shape effect...Off to the comments section or shall we??
