Bombardier & Gulfstream aligning with business objectives EBACE will look a little different this year with two of the heavyweights in the #businessaviation market, BOMBARDIER & Gulfstream Aerospace deciding not to exhibit at the annual show between May 28 to 30 in #Geneva. The loss of two major exhibitors at this year’s show no doubt will have an impact. There is strong support from Geneva & EUROCONTROL whom are going to be front & centre as part of the opening, talking about the importance of #business #aviation to the #economy, including places that have little or no commercial airline service. EBACE 2023 was marred when about 100 eco-#protestors cut through a #security fence & swarmed onto the static display. Seven handcuffed themselves to a Gulfstream on static display, three attached to the nose gear & four to the cabin entry door handrails. More secured themselves to other aircraft, it disrupted operations at Geneva International #Airport & caused diversions of #aircraft in the local #airspace. After the breach last year, questions arose on whether it would impact the static display. While Gulfstream & Bombardier have both opted against displaying, neither have pointed to that, at least publicly, as a reason for their respective moves. To put it straight, a good security plan will certainly go a long way! #businessjet’s are awesome! #bizjet #bizav https://lnkd.in/dNTXyAPc

One of the highlights of the MRO Americas show each year is the annual Aerospace Maintenance Competition. From this weekend's article in the The Wall Street Journal, "More than 450 airplane mechanics from airlines, the military, other aviation companies and school programs around the world descended on Chicago last week to show off their skills and vie for bragging rights at the annual Olympics of airplane maintenance. Companies or other groups can field multiple five-person teams, and each team competes in all of the 27 events." The piece discusses how competitions for airplane mechanics are gaining attention. These contests challenge participants to showcase their expertise in various maintenance tasks, pushing the boundaries of their knowledge and skills. Competitions like these are not just a way to recognize and reward talent, but they also serve as a platform for sharing best practices, fostering innovation, and inspiring the next generation of mechanics. Investing in our maintenance professionals and supporting their growth is key to the future of aviation. These dedicated individuals are the backbone of the industry, ensuring that we can continue to fly safely and efficiently. Check out the article to learn more about the importance of these competitions and the impact they have on the industry.

Power...... The Rolls-Royce (Bristol Siddeley) Snecma, Olympus 593 engine. Four fitted to the Anglo-French Concorde. Each engine produces over 38,000lbs of thrust with re-heat on take-off, accelerating Concorde at an average fully loaded weight of 182 tonnes to a rotation speed of 250mph in around 40 seconds. Yet during the supercruse at Mach Two, around 1350mph the engines are only providing around 35% of the thrust, the remaining thrust is down to the very clever intake system, which slows down the air entering by 1000mph in just 11 feet. Quite remarkable and way ahead of its time. From the future Operated in the past......

Enjoyable visit to Aerospace Bristol today where the last Concorde ever to fly, registration G-BOAF, is preserved on public display. My first time ever seeing one of these incredible beauties. An absolute marvel of engineering. Times have changed a great deal since the 1960s when Concorde was designed, with the aviation industry now focussed on cost, economy, efficiency and sustainability, rather than speed and luxury. The remarkable speed of Concorde has been replaced with the efficiency and range of modern twin-jets such as the Boeing 787 Dreamliner and the Airbus A350, allowing smaller and medium-sized airports to grow their destination offering on routes with a ‘long and skinny’ commercial profile. Point to point is increasingly replacing hub and spoke made possible by the aforementioned models as well as earlier innovations such as the magnificent Boeing 757 which remains the workhorse of many Trans-Atlantic and Trans-Continental routes with American carriers today. Speed is much less of a consideration than it once was. Do you think we will see commercial supersonic aviation again? My prediction would be ‘No’. #aviation #engineering #technology

Interesting development - all systems have benefits and disadvantages and on the Airbus, the inability to monitor control inputs from a colleague is certainly a talking point.
