Vector Aerospace is an industry leader provider in aerospace maintenance, repair and overhaul. They have nearly 2,200 people in 22 locations across the United Kingdom, Canada, France, Australia, South Australia, Kenya and Singapore. Their customer line includes regional airlines, corporate flight department, government agencies and defense departments. On the other hand, its partner Robertson Fuel Systems has been preventing post-incident fires in aircraft and ground vehicles since 1976. They have helped grow the local economy by supplying hundreds of jobs in aerospace, engineering and manufacturing. Therefore, these two companies together have completed the first test flights for crash-resistant fuel tank (CRFT) designed for the Airbus AS350 light single helicopter family.

The test’s purpose was to help to reconstruct CRFT to obtain the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) certifications and to follow an FAA-certified 50ft drop test that proved the tank’s qualifications to combat impact without any outflow, helping to prevent post-crash fires.

Vector Aerospace CRFT programme manager Jeff Booker said: “This milestone is a testament to the team here at Vector, which has been working hard to bring this product to market for our customers. As soon as the drop testing was complete we began the process of installation to move us into this new test phase.”

Two flight test aircrafts, AS350 B2 and AS350 B3 have already been equipped with the new CRFT and they are experiencing ground- testing activities.

Moreover, Onboard Systems is Vector’s new partner in incorporating cargo swing solutions as a adaptable option that can be used with the new crash-resistant fuel tank.

All A320 family aircraft is 180 minute away from a suitable airfield in cased of contingency owing to an ETOPS-180 rating.

On April 6^th 2017, there was an article posted to Flight Global by Kate Sarsfield in which she talks about how the Austrian manufacturer Diamond Aircraft, is entering the helicopter market by released the light single piston engine rotorcraft concept called the DART 280.

The company as released this rotorcraft as sees it as a way for the market to be interested in its products. Here is what Christian Dries, the company founder and chief executive has to say about his rotorcraft concept.

"Why not? Diamond has been in the GA market for 30 years and it’s time to try something new."

The DART 280 has four sets which deems this as a small helicopter used for personal use. The DART 280 is lightweight easy to fly and affordable.  The first flight of this helicopter is schedule in about 18 months. There will be a certificate for this which will come 12 months after.

Kate then talks about the different models.

“The line-up will consist of five models: the four-seat 230shp DA50-IV; five-seat 260shp DA50-V; and seven-seat 360shp DA50-VII. The -VII series will be available with a 375shp Lycoming petrol engine and in a turboprop version – powered by an Ivchenko Progress/Motor Sich AI-450S.”

A new contract has been announced by Boeing this month. It comes in light of the movement to modernize maritime patrol capabilities by the US Navy, the Australian Air Force, and the United Kingdom Royal Air Force. Boeing is planning on enabling this by way of a $2.2 billion contract for at least 17 new P-8A Poseidon aircraft.

The contract also leaves room for 32 additional aircraft, as well as money for future orders. It is expected the total contract value will reach $6.8 billion. Two keys of a successful program are production stability and pricing, which Boeing and the Navy are hoping to achieve with this contract.

To start out the new additions, the Navy will expand by eleven aircraft, Australia will receive four new P-8A Poseidon aircraft, and the UK Royal Airforce will start with two P-8A jets expected by the beginning of the year 2019. So far, Boeing has delivered fifty-three Poseidon aircraft to the Navy and a total of two to the Royal Australian Airforce.

The P-8A Poseidon has the world’s most advanced anti-submarine, anti-surface warfare and intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance capabilities. The Indian Navy has a few variants of this same aircraft in operation. It is called the P-8I. After delivery of four additional aircraft, their fleet will total twelve.

“Jamie Burgess, vice president of Boeing Military Aircraft’s Mobility, Surveillance & Engagement division and P-8 program manager says, The P-8A is a textbook example of Boeing’s commercial derivative expertise. Every day our customers get to fly incredible aircraft that perform exceptionally well and are built by the best of Boeing.”

At ASAP NSN Parts, we have resources to supply a vast array of military aviation products like the ones needed for the P-8A Poseidon aircraft. We provide our customers with a simplified and speedy procurement process. All our parts have been tested and placed under warranty.

Just outside of Las Vegas is one of the U.S. military’s most important bases, Nellis Air Force Base. Some of the most advanced combat training programs are conducted there. One of these is Exercise Red Flag 17-2. It is the largest, most comprehensive and realistic training exercises. The Spanish Air Force Eurofighters are currently participating in this training exercise.

Among the Eurofighters included in this program, Spain has delivered 17 of 19 Tranche 1 airframes and 33 of 34 Tranche 2 airframes participating in the training. They are also anticipating on providing 21 Tranche 3 Eurofighters in addition to that. Due to some budget limitation Spain encountered with expansion, they were not able to acquire the 87 Eurofighters they initially wanted to.

The Spanish Airforce has played a significant role in helping partner nations improve their air-to-ground capacity. While they originally made the primary function of their Eurofighters to function as air-to-air fighters, they decided to make a shift and incorporate this additional capability.

Exercises like this are made possible by ASAP NSN Parts. ASAP NSN Parts delivers all avionic and aerospace parts for military training and any aviation procurement around the world. ASAP NSN Parts is the premier supplier.

When you hear airbus you think of quality because Airbus brings state of the art engineering and ingenuity when it comes to airplanes and helicopters. Helicopters are very popular for few reasons, one is that it is really easy to take off and land anywhere and this makes it very convenient for search and transferring goods to areas that are not easily accessible.

Also helicopters are capable of standing almost still in the air and this great for search and rescue missions, the cops and fire fighters are also known to use helicopters in order to find anyone or be able to save someone who needs rescuing. Lao Skyway has placed an order with Airbus for the Airbus H125 helicopter which most likely will be used for civil and domestic use such as charter flights and locate missions.

Lao Skyway is very proud to be an Airbus customer or even a trusted partner for the past 15 years, this relationship made them very confident to order the Airbus H125 helicopter which is the first helicopter of its kind to operate in Lao. This is because it’s known for its performance, durability, and flies high and for long distances with very minimum maintenance work needed. Having reliable aircraft is very crucial for any user especially a business that will be dependent on the services that it can offer.
