El 6 de agosto nos vemos en ….
July 17, 2012
En la fecha señalada comienza una nueva aventura, quizás inimaginable unos años atrás pero una nueva realidad a partir de ella, ese día, comienza a operar “Curiosity”, un todo terreno 66 que utilizará sus ruedas como tren de aterrizaje y comenzará una exploración en una zona desconocida ubicada al interior de un cráter.
Los resultados de sus investigaciones y las fotos de la geografía que observará, serán recepcionadas a través de una red de satélites, los que se contactarán con otras redes similares para hacer llegar la información a los centros de control y que nos permitirá casi en tiempo real, tener imágenes y los resultados de los análisis que se efectúen.
La novedad de lo anterior, es que la exploración descrita será en en el Planeta Marte, un planeta que por algún extraño motivo nos atrae y los conocimientos actuales hacen pensar que alguna vez tuvo algún tipo de vida o al menos existió agua, que por causa desconocida perdió en el tiempo.
El espacio es algo que nos atrae y los nuevos investigadores, sueñan con encontrar algún vestigio de vida que nos diga, que no estamos tan solos en este universo sin límites.
Curiosity nos dará algunas respuestas y muchas mas interrogantes, pero lo grande y la importancia de todo ello, es que es el hombre el que desea estar presente en el univeso por algún extraño motivo.
El 6 de agosto, daremos un nuevo paso en la conquista del universo, algo difícil de dimensionar, pero un hermoso sueño de quienes amamos el aire y el espacio.
Bell Helicopter Delivers a Bell 412 to NYPD for Counter-Terrorism Missions
July 3, 2012
FORT WORTH, TEXAS (July 3, 2012) – Bell Helicopter, a Textron Inc. company (NYSE: TXT), announced today the delivery of a Bell 412 helicopter to the New York Police Department. The NYPD currently has three Bell 412s in service for a variety of missions ranging from search and rescue at sea to gathering intelligence and more recently, combating terrorism.
“The mission has changed rapidly. Now aviation is being used more as a force multiplier for patrol, gathering intelligence, counter-terrorism and the detective bureau,” remarked Captain James Coan of the NYPD Commanding Office. “We have a 64 year relationship with Bell Helicopter and we are very happy with them,” added Capt. Coan.
The NYPD began utilizing the Bell 412 for air-sea rescues and has now expanded their usage of the versatile aircraft to include counter-terrorism and other law enforcement missions to protect the city. The NYPD dedicated many hours to tailoring and designing the specifications of their third Bell 412 in order to meet the demanding and diverse needs of the largest police department in the United States. One of the counter-terrorism additions to the Bell 412 is a radiation detection system that can identify radiation signatures from an altitude of 200 feet in an effort to protect the city from nuclear bomb threats.
“The NYPD is one of the most recognized police aviation units in the world. They are a symbol of America and we are very proud they choose Bell helicopters for their heroic missions,” said Danny Maldonado, Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Bell Helicopter. “We give our most sincere thanks to the NYPD for selecting Bell Helicopter to be a part of their future,” Maldonado added.
Bell Helicopter has been a part of the NYPD since 1948 when it delivered a Bell 47, the first Bell helicopter to be used as part of an airborne law enforcement team. Since then, Bell Helicopter has strived to provide innovative product solutions and the best customer support and service to maintain its valued, long-standing relationship with New York’s finest.
The Bell 412 is not only the best in class product for the NYPD’s missions; it is backed by Bell Helicopter’s industry-leading customer support and service, ranking #1 in Professional Pilot magazine for 18 consecutive years as well as #1 in Aviation International News for six consecutive years.

July 3, 2012
SuperJet International Training Organization achieved the Type Rating Certification on the SSJ100 (RRJ95B) issued by EASA.
Four SJI pilots – instructors and examiners – are the first western pilots to obtain the Type Rating to fly the SSJ100 aircraft in the countries recognized by EASA airworthiness regulations.
The Certification represents an important milestone for the SSJ100 program which can now benefit from this additional training qualification confirmed by the European Airworthiness and Safety Agency. Now SJI Training organization is able to extend the SSJ100 training to pilots licensed in those countries recognized by EASA rules.
During their professional careers Capt. Agostino Frediani, Capt. Carlo Occhiato, Capt. Alberto Zucconi Galli Fonseca and Capt. Luciano Fornari flew a total of over 50.000 flight hours and made 5.000 hours of simulator training.
The Type Rating has been issued by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and follows the SSJ100 (RRJ95) Type Certificate by EASA.
SuperJet International Aviation Training Center in Moscow has been approved by the Russian Authority RosAviaciya, in accordance with the Russian Federal Aviation Order 23, in January 2012 and it is currently providing training on SSJ100 type to aviation and maintenance personnel.
SuperJet International’s Flight Training Organization counts on 15 pilots: 2 test pilots acting as TRI/TRE (Type Rating Instructor), 4 TRI/TRE (Type Rating Examiner), 5 TRI, 4 SFI (Synthetic Flight Instructor).
Up to date over 100 pilots of both Aeroflot and Armavia airlines completed the training courses at the SJI Training Centers.
These courses, provided in English and Russian, were managed by SJI’s international and professional team coming from different countries (Italy, Russia, Lithuania, USA and Germany), who proactively participated in the lessons. The Training programs were accomplished by using temporarily a flight Training Device (FTD) and since November 2011 a Full Flight Simulator level C available at the TC of Zhukovsky, Moscow.
SuperJet International, which is in charge of the Sukhoi Superjet 100 (SSJ100) sales and marketing in the Western markets, is also responsible for training and after-sales support all over the world. Given the international nature of the product, SuperJet International has established two facilities based in Venice and in Moscow for its training opportunities.

Julio Verne vive
July 3, 2012
Quizás, el escritor de origen francés y propiedad el mundo, Julio Verne, si hubiese tenido la oportunidad de obsevar el futuro, no habría creído que muchas de sus historias ficticias dejarían de serlo en el siglo XXI.
Los descubrimientos que presenciamos hoy y el desarrollo de la tecnología aeronaútica, nos permiten observar, como un avión solar es capaz de mantenerse en vuelo durante un día y una noche sin cargar ningún tipo de combustible fósil y hacerlo sólo con energía proveniente de 12.000 células fotovoltaicas, las cuales recubren sus alas casi en su totalidad.
El nombre de la aeronave es ”Impulse” y el 29 de junio regresó a Suiza proveniente de Marruecos.
Si Julio Verne estuviese hoy entre nosotros, quizás su mente sería capaz de pronosticar que nos depara nuestra ya asombrosa tecnología para el mundo aéreo y espacial, algo que sin duda extiende su límite día a día hasta un confín sin fin.
