When I read the news few days ago that Airbus C295 has achieved a remarkable 300 orders, it was heartwarming. Not just for the milestone achievement, this remarkable figure also celebrates the success of the Spanish and European aerospace industry as a whole. The C295 is designed and assembled in my home country Spain, its versatility, cost-effectiveness, and unparalleled reliability has undoubtedly catapulted its global success story.  With 41 operators from 37 countries, the C295 is the indisputable leader across Europe, the Americas, Africa, and Asia. Among them, India stands as the largest customer, ordering 56 aircrafts. The best part? 19 of these operators have placed repeat orders, which demonstrates the aircraft's exceptional performance and reliability. C295 is the outcome of Construcciones Aeronáuticas (C.A.S.A.)’s vision, when they decided to develop a slightly larger aircraft with 50 percent more capabilities. The Spanish Air and Space Force were its maiden customer in 1997. Since then, it has continued to fly high, reshaping the aviation landscape. Indeed, C295 is a symbol of perseverance and excellence. A symbol of our Industry. This week celebrating the Aerospace & Defense Meetings (ADM) congress in Sevilla. Cheers to @Airbus C295 and the countless adventures that lie ahead! #Airbus #Aviation

Next week's Singapore Airshow has a few anticipated highlights: Embraer's transport C-390 will be on static display. Following a successful year of orders in 2023, including South Korea, the OEM is positioning the medium airlifter as well suited to the APAC region. COMAC is sending a large contingent of two C919 narrow-body and three ARJ21 regional jets, with the C919 to fly its first international display. The Chinese C919, anA320-sized airliner, is aiming for a fifth of the global narrowbody market and a third of the Chinese market by 2035. This year's biennial airshow has the added backdrop of the maturing AUKUS alliance, contrasted against the first expected appearance of a Chinese military aircraft, the Changhe Z-10 attack helicopter, at an international air show. Boeing are somewhat conspicuous in their absence, with no aircraft flying or on static display. Airbus will be flying their A350-1000, with an A330neo and A400M on static. Business aviation will see a heavy presence in the mid-size range, with Dassault Aviation's 6X making its Singaporean debut after achieving certification last year, and BOMBARDIER, Embraer, Gulfstream Aerospace, HondaJet, Pilatus Aircraft Ltd, and Textron Aviation bringing a slew of jets. Parallel to the airshow is the Singapore Aerospace Technology and Engineering Conference (SATEC) 2024, a joint forum between the Republic of Singapore Air Force and the Singapore Institute of Aerospace Engineers (SIAE) with a focus on key developments and advancements in aerospace technology and engineering. See you in the Lion City. #aviation #aerospace #airpower #singaporeairshow

🚁 Important milestone for the European Clean Sky 2 funding initiative: the Airbus Helicopters' Racer prototype has achieved its inaugural flight at speeds of 400 km/h. This project is a collaborative effort involving 40 partners from 13 European countries. This success highlights the importance of the European Union's support for research and innovation, enabling significant advances in aeronautical technologies while promoting more sustainable aviation. The Racer, which consumes 20% less fuel compared to current models, exemplifies Europe's commitment to eco-friendly innovation. In addition to missions where every minute counts - emergency medical services, search and rescue, commercial or private aviation - the Racer could also be adapted for military use.
