Entra en funciones nueva vía para taxis en aeropuerto A. Merino B.
September 17, 2014
Con el fin de ordenar el flujo del transporte público de pasajeros en el aeropuerto Arturo Merino Benítez, ha entrado en funciones una nueva vía de acceso al terminal, destinada solo al servicio de aquellos taxis cuyos servicios hayan sido previamente contratados por los usuarios.
Con ello se pretende evitar la aglomeración de automóviles de alquiler, que sin estar ocupados, dificultan el libre desplazamiento de los otros servicios de transporte.
Se aprecian nuevas de medidas de seguridad en aeropuerto A. Merino B.
September 16, 2014
Como consecuencias del robo que hace aproximadamente un mes atrás afectara a un camión de transporte de valores en la plataforma del aeropuerto Arturo Merino Benítez, notorias son las medidas de seguridad tomadas por la autoridad aeronáutica dentro del recinto aeroportuario.
Entre ellas se pueden apreciar nuevas cámaras de vigilancia panorámicas, clausura de portones de acceso, candados inviolables y otras que por razones obvias no se han dado a conocer.
En forma conjunta, se ha aumentado el personal de vigilancia, incluso con la participación de efectivos de la Fuerza Aérea de Chile.
En cuanto a las pesquisas para ubicar a los autores del robo, la policía trabaja en completo hermetismo y son varias las hipótesis que se persiguen.

New KA 350 Swept Composite Propellers Begin FAA Certification Testing at Raisbeck Engineering
September 16, 2014
September 10, 2014 — Seattle, Wash. — Raisbeck Engineering’s latest development in swept-blade propeller technology, the new Composite Swept-Blade 5-way Propeller for the Beechcraft King Air 350 series, has begun FAA certification flight testing at Boeing Field, Seattle, Washington. The Raisbeck/Hartzell team completed all ground and flight vibration and governor output pressure surveys Sunday, September 7th, 2014. The program began company and FAA certification flight testing the following Monday, scheduled to be completed by the end of September, 2014.
The cooperative development program between Raisbeck and Hartzell is the 3rd in the Swept-Blade series; the first two were for the King Air 200 and C90/E90 series. Both programs have proven very successful in sales and deliveries since the launch of the partnership in late 2009. Since deliveries began in January, 1985, there are close to 1500 airplanes equipped with Raisbeck/Hartzell propellers – a true testament to the 31 years of successful development and partnership between Hartzell Propeller Inc and Raisbeck Engineering.
Joe Brown, President of Hartzell Propellers Inc, commented “Working side by side with Raisbeck Engineering for over a third of a century has been enormously gratifying to both our companies, in terms of technology advancement and resultant sales. For us, we wouldn’t change a thing about our relationship. As someone once said, ‘If it works, don’t fix it’. We expect to continue down this path.”
Raisbeck Engineering’s CEO James Raisbeck added his enthusiastic support saying, “Our parallel development and certification programs began with an honest look at how we could work together to maximize the benefits to our customers, while minimizing the cost and calendar time to achieve our desired results. It is working well; never a measurable glitch, and always an impressed and happy customer”.
The new King Air 350 propellers will be introduced at this year’s NBAA in October, with production deliveries scheduled for July, 2015. Raisbeck will also offer an official “King Air 350 5-Bladed Propeller Wait List” at NBAA, which will not require a deposit but will be on a first-signed, first-availability basis. More details and preliminary performance improvements will be available at NBAA in Orlando, Florida this year. Raisbeck Engineering will be at NBAA booth #720.
Raisbeck Engineering continues in the tradition of its founder, dedicated to the improvement in performance and productivity of business and commercial aircraft through the infusion of advanced technology into in-service and new production aircraft.

Beluga celebrates the 20th anniversary of its first flight
September 12, 2014
Flight hours per aircraft have since doubled and will do so again by 2017
With its maiden flight on September 13, 1994, the popular Beluga cargo aircraft, affectionately named after the white whale because of its remarkable shape, is celebrating this week twenty years of transporting Airbus component parts between Airbus’ European manufacturing sites.
Since 1995, the fleet of five Beluga aircraft replaced the ageing Super Guppy transporters in order to supply the Airbus final assembly lines in Toulouse and Hamburg. Today, more than sixty flights are performed each week between eleven sites, carrying crucial parts for all of the Airbus programmes, including the A380*.
The Beluga fleet is operated by Airbus Transport International (ATI), an Airbus subsidiary airline, and each Beluga crew is composed of a pilot, a co-pilot and a flight engineer.
With the production start of the A350 XWB in 2012 and the production ramp-up on other Airbus programmes, the Beluga activities again will substantially increase over the next five years.
In order to accompany this challenge, Airbus launched in 2011 the Fly 10 000 project. Flight crew numbers and flight hours have grown and loading procedures have been further optimized, with the opening of new integrated loading facilities in Hamburg and Bremen in Germany and Saint-Nazaire in France. Broughton, UK and Getafe, Spain will follow soon. Fly 10,000 should allow the Beluga fleet to double its activities by 2017 (from 5,000 to 10,000 flight hours).
“The Beluga is an essential element of Airbus’ integrated logistics and production system. It is thanks to its reliability and engagement of the Beluga teams that we can fulfil our constant pursuit of efficiency”, said Günter Butschek, Airbus Chief Operating Officer.
The Beluga is based on the twin-engine A300-600R, appreciated for its reliability and its cost-effectiveness. It is powered by General Electric CF6-80C2 engines. With its impressive dimensions (56 m long, 17 m high, a fuselage diameter of 7.71 m and a main-deck cargo volume of 1,400m3), the Beluga is the champion of its category (compared with the Antonov AN-124 or even the C-17). The Beluga can carry a maximum payload of 47 metric tonnes non-stop over a range of 1,660 km/900 nm.
*only the Vertical Tailplane and tailcone, all other A380 components being transported through the “multimodal transport system (sea, river, road).
