En la EBACE de 2008, Eurocopter realza su posición de líder mundial de los
May 19, 2008
Eurocopter exhibe dos modelos de helicóptero biturbina en la EBACE de este
año: el EC135 “el helicóptero por Hermès”, en el stand número 7540 (Pabellón
7), y el EC145, en la exposición estática al aire libre del Pabellón 6.
Eurocopter es el líder mundial en el segmento de aviación de negocios y privada. Lo
demuestra, en primer lugar, el promedio constante del incremento (30% o más) de
las ventas de helicópteros en cada uno de los tres últimos años. Dichas ventas
aumentaron de 83 aparatos en 2005 a 111 en 2006 y, finalmente, a 168 en 2007.
Ahora, Eurocopter ve cómo sus esfuerzos dan fruto después de haber encarado el
reto de dominar este segmento de mercado hace algunos años. De hecho, el auge
del mercado de aviación de negocios y de helicópteros privados es un fenómeno de
alcance mundial. La creciente riqueza y la carrera contrarreloj propia de nuestra
época han llevado a ejecutivos empresariales de todo el mundo a recurrir al
helicóptero como complemento vital de los reactores de negocios.
Esto es así, en especial, en las dos Américas y también en Europa, que son
tradicionales mercados del sector de aviación de negocios.
En Europa, el éxito ha estado impulsado por el acontecer en ciertos países de
economía emergente del Este de Europa, tales como Rusia, Rumanía y Polonia, por
la creciente importancia de la aviación de negocios en España e Irlanda, así como
por la presencia de un número que va en aumento de particulares de alto valor neto
(HNWI, siglas en inglés) en países escandinavos tales como Suecia y Noruega.
Otras regiones, como por ejemplo Asia y Oriente Próximo, son asimismo mercados
que ofrecen un considerable potencial para los helicópteros de negocios y privados.
De acuerdo con la estrategia de Eurocopter de desempeñar un papel importante en
múltiples lugares, el líder mundial de los fabricantes de helicópteros refuerza
continuamente su presencia en esas zonas con mercados en rápida expansión.
La base de clientes en este sector es polifacética: desde clientes privados VIP a
pequeñas y medianas empresas pasando por grupos multinacionales. Por tanto, es
un abanico de clientes muy exigentes. Los factores decisivos para la compra son
alta velocidad de crucero, comodidad, escasa firma acústica, una presentación digna
de ejecutivos y, por último pero no menos importante, seguridad en vuelo.
Por añadidura, en opinión de los ejecutivos empresariales, los fabricantes tienen la
obligación de estar al día y de equipar los aparatos con los más modernos recursos
de negocios y de comunicaciones para así aprovechar al máximo cada minuto en
sus horas de viaje.
Eurocopter ha integrado con éxito los medios arriba mencionados en todos y cada
uno de los modelos de su amplia gama de helicópteros, por lo que todos ellos están
dotados de la más avanzada tecnología. Así, con el abanico de productos más
extenso del mundo, el Grupo ocupa una excelente posición en este trepidante
segmento de mercado.
En él están incluidos el monomotor EC120, el EC130 y la familia Ecureuil/AStar
AS350; los biturbina ligeros AS355NP, EC135T2i/P2i y EC145; en la cúspide de la
gama de helicópteros biturbina medios el Dauphin AS365 N3 y el EC155 B1, así
como, por último pero no los menos importantes, los helicópteros biturbina pesados
AS332 y EC225 Super Puma.
En la muestra EBACE de este año, Eurocopter exhibe dos de sus helicópteros
biturbina de la gama arriba mencionada: el helicóptero EC135 “el helicóptero por
Hermès” y el EC145.
El EC135 “el helicóptero por Hermès”, lanzado el año pasado en el salón NBAA de
Atlanta, evidencia perfectamente la voluntad de Eurocopter de aunar tecnología y
diseño, así como de elevar los viajes corporativos a más altas cotas. Ahora, Hermès
ha conferido al EC135 una imagen llena de estilo y le ha dotado de un interior
altamente funcional, esmeradamente acabado con ayuda de todas las técnicas y
materiales, así como de las impecables normas de sus artesanos del cuero.
En cuanto al EC145, sus triunfos radican en estar dotado de la cabina más amplia
(con mucho) y del mejor acceso a ésta que cualquier otro helicóptero de su clase.
En combinación con su amplia experiencia en misiones parapúblicas llevadas a
cabo, a veces, en condiciones meteorológicas muy duras, el EC145 es configurable
para adaptarlo a múltiples necesidades y para prestar servicio en condiciones
diversas, lo que resalta su robustez y su flexibilidad.

Aerion order book crosses $3 billion threshold
May 16, 2008
Geneva, EBACE (May 19, 2008) In the six months that Aerion has been accepting orders for the Aerion supersonic business jet, the company has received more than 40 letters of intent backed up by refundable deposits of $250,000. At a price of $80 million per aircraft, the total backlog stands at more than $3 billion and Aerion officials expect the backlog may go higher before the close of the EBACE show.
“Just two and a half years ago our market research indicated a market for 300 supersonic jets over 10 years,” noted Aerion Vice Chairman Brian Barents, “but that survey did not even include demand from countries such as India, China and Russia. If anything, we have underestimated global demand.” Barents pointed to five orders secured by marketing agent ExecuJet in India alone as an indication of emerging market demand.
Aerion has also secured orders in Pakistan, The Middle East, Europe, North America and South America. Barents pointed to growing demand at the top of the business jet market. A supersonic jet is now not far in price from subsonic alternatives, which is giving more companies an incentive to consider the Aerion jet.
Aerion continues in discussion with potential OEM partners as well as potential tier-one suppliers. Aerion has an exclusive agreement with Pratt & Whitney for the use of a new variant of its JT8D-219 engine, a member of the ubiquitous JT8D family, flat-rated to 19,600 pounds of thrust.
Aerion expects to reach an agreement with an OEM by year end, keeping the company on track to certify the supersonic jet as planned in 2014.
Embraer Plans to Expand its Operations in the U.S.
May 15, 2008
São José dos Campos, May 13, 2008 – Embraer announced, today, in the presence of Mayor
Harry Goode, of the City of Melbourne, Florida, Governor Charlie Crist of the State of
Florida, Enterprise Florida, and other state and local officials, that it plans to invest an
estimated US$ 50 million for the establishment of a new facility in the United States
dedicated to its executive jets business.
The new 150,000-square-foot state-of-the-art facility will house a final assembly line, the first
for Embraer in the U.S. It will be capable of producing both the Phenom 100 and Phenom 300
executive jet models, as well as a paint shop and a delivery and customer design center.
After a rigorous and thorough site selection process, the preferred location for the project is
Melbourne International Airport, in Melbourne, Florida, which best satisfies all applicable
operational requirements and strategies. A Memorandum of Intent has been executed
between all of the necessary parties, and a final decision is predicated on approval by the
State and local governments.
Embraer expects to create approximately 200 skilled positions by 2011. These will be
necessary to operate all aspects of the facility, including aircraft assembly, production
planning, logistics and quality, aircraft interior design, corporate administration, engineering,
and aircraft painting, delivery, and flight testing functions.
“Developing this new facility will allow Embraer to respond to the growing demands of its
executive jets business and reaffirms our commitment to meet and exceed customer
requirements and expectations,” said Frederico Fleury Curado, Embraer President & CEO.
“We are very excited and confident that our new location, in Melbourne, Florida, will be a
successful step and a special milestone for the Company. We look forward to working with
local officials to finalize the proposal and begin the development of this new facility.”
Mayor Harry Goode stated: “Embraer’s success all over the world is based on its
commitment to its customers and the quality of its products. We believe the City of Melbourne
and Melbourne International Airport (MLB) have all the elements for the Company’s
continued success in the United States. A US$ 50 million capital investment in our city and at
our airport will significantly add to our tax base at a critical time in our community’s history.
I’m excited at the opportunity to finalize this package and move forward. There are also a
multitude of added benefits for the community, since clients coming to the facility will likely
spend in areas such as hotel accommodations, restaurant patronage and visiting local
attractions. This could be a real win for Melbourne.”
Alternative Fuel Partnership Teams Airbus with Honeywell, IAE and Jetblue
May 15, 2008
In its continuing efforts toward eco-efficiency – and to help the whole aviation sector prosper with less impact on the environment, such as reducing emissions from aircraft operations –Airbus has teamed with Honeywell Aerospace; UOP, a Honeywell Company; International Aero Engines (IAE); and JetBlue Airways to pursue development of a sustainable second-generation biofuel for use in commercial aircraft.
The companies’ joint activity will help develop renewable energy technology to convert vegetation- and algae-based oils into aviation fuels and to evaluate the challenges for obtaining approval for this fuel by standards organizations. Such non-food-crop biomass fuels are known to provide a better fuel-to-emissions lifecycle than current kerosene.
JetBlue, IAE, Honeywell and Airbus are examining the benefits of jet fuels derived from renewable biomass sources that do not compete with existing food production or valuable land and water resources. This “second-generation bio-jet” fuel used will be produced using technology developed by Honeywell’s UOP, a leading developer of technology and products for the refining industry. UOP has developed a process to convert biological material into renewable jet fuel that performs identically to traditional fuels while meeting the stringent performance specifications for flight.
“Over the last 40 years, aviation has reduced fuel burn – and therefore carbon dioxide emissions – by 70 percent, but more needs to be done,” said Sebastien Remy, Head of Alternative Fuels Research Programs for Airbus. “Millions of barrels of kerosene are used each day for aircraft fuel, and worldwide demand is growing. In order to replace a significant portion of that jet fuel with bio-jet, we need to find something that has much greater yield than the current biomass sources available. Airbus believes that second-generation bio-jet could provide up to 30 percent of all commercial aviation jet fuel by 2030.”
The potential environmental advantages of using second-generation bio-jet are extensive, including reduced emissions and particulates; reduced carbon footprint; improved engine cleanliness; reduced contrail formation; and overall lifecycle benefits. In addition to investigating the environmental benefits, the partnership will conduct research into whether biofuels could potentially be developed that will expand payload-range aircraft performance, reduce fuel burn, and increase engine reliability and durability – all critical cost points for aircraft operators.
“This has the potential to benefit every world citizen beyond those involved in our business,” said Russ Chew, President and Chief Operating Officer of JetBlue Airways. “Each of our companies has the social responsibility to work toward developing a cleaner way to do business, and this effort we are undertaking with Airbus, Honeywell and IAE is a major stepping stone toward further reducing our environmental impact.”

“Our companies have worked together for many years on the Learjet 60 aircraft platform, which features the most fuel efficient engine among current production midsize jets,” said David Coleal, vice-president and general manager, Learjet. “Our new alliance builds on this success to offer an aircraft and powerplant solution that will deliver exceptional value for operators, featuring superior performance combined with reduced emission levels and low noise.”
Pratt & Whitney Canada’s PW307B turbofan engine offers the least environmental impact of any engine in its class with a reduction in nitrous oxide emissions that betters International Civil Aviation Organization standards by over 30 per cent. The PW307B also meets Zurich 5 emission requirements for no landing fee surcharges.
“We are very pleased to join Bombardier as the engine supplier of choice in the Learjet 85 program,” said Claude Lachapelle, vice-president, Business Aviation, Pratt & Whitney Canada. “The new-generation PW307 is the perfect engine for the midsize jet market, and we believe the combined strengths of the Learjet 85 and PW307B will result in great value for the customer.”
Advanced Brushless Starter/Generator system incorporates cutting edge technology IPS’ state-of-the-art 500 Amp, 18KW DC Brushless Starter/Generator Systems will be used on both the Learjet 85 aircraft ‘s PW307B engines and the APU. The system has undergone comprehensive evaluations at P&WC on the PW307B engine, demonstrating superior engine start performance under various environmental and input power conditions.
“Our BS/G System offers superior efficiency and reliability as well as reduced complexity, maintenance requirements and weight; all of which contribute to significantly lower life cycle costs and enhanced operational capabilities,” said Eli Liebermann, president, IPS.
The IPS BS/G System combines both start and power generation functions, thus eliminating traditional air turbine or other dedicated engine start systems, resulting in significant benefits.
The new Learjet 85 set to redefine the midsize business jet class
Launched on October 30, 2007 the new Learjet 85 aircraft will be the first Bombardier Aerospace jet to feature an all-composite structure and will be the first all-composite structure business jet designed for type certification under U.S. Federal Aviation Administration FAR Part 25.
An extraordinary advancement in next generation flight, the Learjet 85 aircraft’s all-composite structure will allow Learjet designers to maximize cabin comfort while minimizing drag and improving performance. Exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, reduced maintenance and extended service life are key characteristics of all-composite airframes and the ultra smooth surfaces of the carbon fiber structures permit superior aerodynamics. Other competitive advantages of composites include reduced structural part count and significantly less vulnerability to corrosion or fatigue damage than metal.
Building on legendary Learjet performance
True to its legendary heritage, the Learjet 85 aircraft is set to deliver the extraordinary performance, superior technology and exceptional value Learjet aircraft owners expect.
The clean-sheet Learjet aircraft targets a high-speed cruise of Mach 0.82 and a transcontinental range of up to 3,000 nautical miles (5,556 km)(i). Designed to provide a larger, more comfortable cabin than any existing midsize aircraft, this jet will offer eight passengers a stand-up cabin built to ensure superior productivity and comfort.
Learjet is the first name in corporate aviation. Since acquiring Learjet Inc. in 1990, Bombardier Aerospace has carried forward the brand’s proud legacy by launching eight high-performance and fuel-efficient aircraft.
