Airbus Helicopters to display an EC145 T2 at Helitech International 2014
September 11, 2014
11 September 2014
Helitech International 2014 kicks off in just over a month at the Amsterdam RAI Convention Centre from 14 – 16 October. The event, run in association with the European Helicopter Association (EHA), can confirm that Airbus Helicopters will showcase an EC145 T2 on its stand; a next-generation helicopter that is perfectly suited for emergency medical services (EMS) missions and law enforcement/parapublic duties.
The EC145 T2 is a twin-engine, four-ton-class, multi-role helicopter that was first presented in 2011. It is the latest addition to Airbus Helicopters’ BK117/EC145 family, which is designed and built in Donauwörth and has enjoyed decades of success. Its improved performance and particular suitability for air rescue missions sets the EC145 T2 apart from earlier models in the BK117/EC145 family. Among the new features are Turbomeca Arriel-2E engines with dual-channel full authority digital engine control (FADEC) and a Fenestron shrouded tail rotor, along with upgraded main and new tail rotor gear boxes. The cockpit uses the Helionix digital avionics suite with 4-axis autopilot that was developed by Airbus Helicopters. Its outstanding hover performance – even in single-engine situations (one engine inoperative, OEI) – is crucial for flight safety, especially for air rescue missions.
Airbus Helicopters recently concluded the successful handover of the first EC145 T2 to DRF Luftrettung. In spring 2014, the latest addition to the family received certification from the European Aviation Safety Agency EASA and is now ready to take on a wide variety of missions.
The Exhibition will showcase all levels of the supply chain from leading industry primes and rotorcraft suppliers such as AgustaWestland, and Bell Helicopter as well as other leading exhibitors such as Rolls-Royce, Turbomeca, Vector Aerospace and Honeywell down to smaller SME’s such as Trakka Corp, Bucher Group, Concorde Battery and Bitschnau.
There is a strong international dimension again this year; the global footprint ofHelitech International 2014 will include exhibitors from countries such as Australia, New Zealand, USA, Canada and thirteen European nations. There are currently over 55 first-time exhibitors from nine countries around the world such as Genesys Aerosystems, ITT Enidine and BAE Systems.
Trakka Corp will be exhibiting the ‘Trakkabeam A800’ searchlight, a fully automated multi-mission searchlight system, with the only internally integrated filter wheel on the market. It is a paradigm shift in engineering and design, which has eliminated the inefficiencies of traditional searchlight technology. It is installed on over 350 aircraft worldwide and being used for Police, SAR, Border Patrol, HEMS and Military operations.
“I have always seen Helitech International to be one of the highlights of the show calendar as it always delivers a large range of potential customers from all around the world”, said Christian Steward, Sales Manager Europe at Trakka Corp Pty Ltd.
First time exhibitor HeliEFB, focuses on electronic flight bag solutions for helicopter operators, which can be easily customised and adapted to a range of aircraft types and mission roles, e.g. HEMS, parapublic, search and rescue and offshore. HeliEFB’s technology enables a paperless cockpit and an accelerated, fleet-wide digital distribution process of required on-board documents and revisions.
A new range of light weight mobile power supplies has been launched by leading supplier, Start Pac. Developed in response to a need for a more compact, mobile power supply, Start Pac has released the Start Pac Model 53300, a powerful 300 amp power supply that weighs only 18 kilos (40 lbs). The unit is designed for maintenance and to power up various functions such as inverters, avionics, GPS, and air conditioning so is perfect for maintenance operation or field based operators as well as business jets, medical evacuation, police, fire or rescue operations with high draw aircraft systems.
Curtiss-Wright will display its highly engineered solutions for commercial aerospace helicopter platforms at Helitech International 2014. The company will be displaying the latest examples of its broad range of industry leading LCD display, mission computing, video management, data recording and storage, air data and data acquisition avionics products.
Moreover, Spacemetric will be exhibiting an airborne ISR sensor data management solution which differs from current solutions, as it allows two-way interaction / co-operation between people in the sky and on the ground using the live sensor data.
Other exhibitors include, Blue Sky Network that are a principal supplier of satellite tracking and communication solutions for the aviation, land mobile and marine industries. Aviation Specialties Unlimited (ASU), develop night vision systems within public and civil aviation operations. Eagle Copters is a group of companies offering engineered solutions to all facets of the helicopter industry, including helicopter sales, leasing, customising, maintenance, repair and overhaul, avionics systems and product development.
“Helitech International 2014 is set to welcome an impressive number of companies from the whole spectrum of the rotorcraft supply chain. The rotorcraft industry will be represented globally on the exhibition floor, while key issues will be debated with some interesting insights to surface as a result through the Education Programme,” said John Hyde, Event Director for Helitech International. “The spread of countries participating in October in Amsterdam is very impressive and confirms Helitech International’s place at the forefront of the rotorcraft industry. Over the three days attendees will be able to witness all the latest rotary innovations.”

September 10, 2014
Hyperspectral Payload will be first in the commercial industry
EL SEGUNDO, Calif., Sept. 10, 2014 – Boeing [NYSE: BA] has received its first commercial order for the 502 Phoenix small satellite from HySpecIQ of Washington, D.C. The satellites will carry the commercial remote sensing industry’s first high-resolution hyperspectral payload, capable of providing spectral imaging fidelity that far exceeds what is currently available.
Boeing will deliver a complete satellite system initially consisting of two satellites, available for launch in 2018; command and control operations; image processing; and data storage of collected imagery. The contract includes options for long-term operations and maintenance.
“This combines a flexible satellite system design with an innovative business model, demonstrating our commitment to evolve our satellite portfolio into adjacent markets,” said Craig Cooning, president of Network & Space Systems. “Our 502 Phoenix is well-suited for a range of missions that includes electro-optical imaging and remote sensing, space situational awareness and satellite communications.”
Hyperspectral imaging is an information-rich technology that uses spectral color bands to identify objects and materials in an image. More than 200 spectral colors in the visible and shortwave infrared spectrum are collected to uncover diagnostic spectral patterns not visible to the naked eye. The technology provides valuable data and enables the delivery of information products to key markets, including the global oil, gas, mining, agriculture and environment monitoring industries, as well as U.S. government agencies and partner countries.
“Boeing’s in-depth experience in hosting electro-optical payloads, coupled with its unmatched record in the delivery of commercial space systems, was the deciding factor in this award,” said William R. Sullivan, HySpecIQ founder and executive chairman. “Working closely with Boeing’s team will allow us to bring forward a technical design with unparalleled remote sensing capability that will set a new standard in this industry. We have every confidence that Boeing will deliver flawlessly in meeting our performance, cost and schedule requirements.”
Boeing will manage sales, processing and distribution of the hyperspectral imagery products to the U.S. Government intelligence community, Department of Defense and international partner customers. HySpecIQ will manage sales, processing and distribution of the hyperspectral imagery products to the global civil and commercial market.
The satellites will be based on the Phantom Phoenix prototype, developed by Boeing Phantom Works. Boeing’s sites in Huntington Beach and El Segundo, Calif., Puget Sound, Wash., Colorado Springs, Colo. and Springfield, Va. will support the program.

Embraer inaugura Centro de Engenharia e Tecnologia na Flórida
September 8, 2014
Melbourne – Flórida, EUA, 8 de setembro de 2014 – A Embraer inaugurou hoje seu Centro de Engenharia e Tecnologia (CETE) na Flórida, EUA. Esta avançada instalação, com cerca de 7 mil metros quadrados, é a primeira do gênero fora do Brasil, e faz parte da estratégia da Empresa para expandir sua presença global.
O evento foi marcado por uma cerimônia com a participação de mais de 250 pessoas, entre autoridades, representantes da comunidade, imprensa e convidados.
O novo Centro vai realizar atividades de engenharia e de desenvolvimento tanto para produtos quanto tecnologias em todas as linhas de negócios da Embraer, com as primeiras atividades focadas principalmente em interiores de jatos executivos. O CETE vai incluir um laboratório para o desenvolvimento e teste de materiais e componentes. Entre as funcionalidades disponíveis no Centro estão projeto tri-dimensional computadorizado, dinâmica de fluidos computacional, modelagem por elementos finitos, centro de realidade virtual, recursos para prototipação e sofisticados laboratórios e equipamentos de teste.
“Este mês, em que celebramos o 35º aniversário da nossa presença na América do Norte, estamos mais uma vez expandindo nosso duradouro relacionamento com o Estado da Flórida e a comunidade de Brevard com a abertura de um Centro de Engenharia e Tecnologia de ponta”, disse Frederico Fleury Curado, Diretor-Presidente da Embraer. “Com a equipe altamente qualificada de engenheiros que vai trabalhar nesses escritórios e laboratórios, vamos oferecer as soluções mais avançadas para os nossos clientes.”
O Centro está localizado na General Aviation Drive, no Aeroporto Internacional de Melbourne, em mais de cinco hectares de terra situados em frente às instalações de montagem final do Phenom 100 e do Phenom 300 e ao Centro de Atendimento ao Cliente da Aviação Executiva, inaugurados em 2009 e 2011, respectivamente. Cerca de 70 engenheiros já foram contratados e vinham trabalhando em uma instalação temporária perto do aeroporto desde 2012. O total de postos de trabalho está previsto para chegar a 200 até 2016.
De acordo com a Companhia, um dos principais fatores para a escolha de Melbourne foi sua força de trabalho qualificada. Além disso, a disponibilidade de terras para iniciar uma obra foi importante, assim como a proximidade com operações já estabelecidas e o ambiente favorável aos negócios na Flórida, no condado de Brevard e na cidade de Melbourne.
O Governador da Flórida, Rick Scott, disse: “O compromisso da Embraer com a Flórida e a criação de 200 postos de trabalho vai ajudar mais famílias da Flórida a voltarem ao trabalho e viver o sonho americano. Este projeto é uma grande notícia para a Space Coast e estou animado para ver esta Empresa crescer a partir desta inauguração. Desde dezembro de 2010, nós criamos mais de 620 mil empregos no setor privado e vamos continuar trabalhando duro para criar oportunidades, a fim de que cada morador da Flórida que desejar um emprego possa obtê-lo.”
O Secretário de Comércio e Presidente e CEO da Enterprise Florida, Gray Swoope, participou de evento desta manhã e falou sobre a crescente presença da Embraer no Estado. “Quando o governador Scott e eu visitamos o centro de P&D da Embraer no Brasil em 2011, fomos capazes de ver em primeira mão o que essa Empresa poderia fazer pela Flórida. Devido às fortes parcerias entre a Enterprise Florida, a Space Coast EDC, o condado de Brevard, o Aeroporto Internacional de Melbourne e a Space Florida, podemos trazer projetos competitivos, como este novo Centro de Excelência para a Flórida. A Embraer poderia ter instalado essa nova unidade de engenharia em qualquer lugar do mundo, mas escolheu a Flórida. Nós agradecemos seu contínuo compromisso com o Estado.”
O Presidente do Space Florida, Frank DiBello, disse: “Nós tivemos a oportunidade de atuar como parceiros próximos da Embraer ao longo dos anos, à medida que eles continuaram a expandir e adicionar empregos de alta tecnologia e remuneração para a região. Ficamos satisfeitos em trabalhar com o nosso parceiro na área bancária – PNC Bank – e o Departamento de Oportunidades Econômicas do Estado da Flórida para tornar possível a inauguração deste novo centro de padrão mundial aqui na Flórida. Esperamos dar continuidade à parceria, com a liderança da Embraer, fornecendo as ferramentas de que eles necessitam para assegurar seu crescimento contínuo aqui no século por vir.”
O Diretor-Executivo do Aeroporto International de Melbourne, Gregory Donovan, disse: “Pensando no futuro: esse é o ambiente operacional que distingue o Aeroporto Internacional de Melbourne. Aplaudimos a estratégia inovadora de expansão da Embraer, tirando o máximo partido dos nossos campi corporativos, pistas abundantes e infra-estrutura em expansão. Estamos comprometidos com o sucesso de longo prazo da Embraer, proporcionando acesso imediato a um aeroporto internacional projetado para um futuro impressionante.”
“A Embraer poderia ter se comprometido com este nível de crescimento em qualquer das suas instalações, mas eles optaram por fazê-lo em Melbourne”, disse a Prefeita da cidade de Melbourne, Kathy Meehan. “Não há elogio maior do que a repetição de negócios e estamos muito contentes em receber o terceiro projeto da Embraer em nossa cidade, centrada na aviação. O investimento de longo prazo de um líder global e modelo de empresa-cidadã não acontece todos os dias. Como comunidade, estamos honrados que esteja acontecendo aqui.”
“Hoje celebramos mais um marco no que se tornou um relacionamento forte e próspero entre a Embraer, uma empresa de padrão mundial, e o condado de Brevard, uma comunidade de padrão mundial”, disse Mary Bolin Lewis, Comissária do Distrito 4 e Presidente do Conselho de Comissários do Condado de Brevard. “A Space Coast é o lugar para engenharia e tecnologia. Esta instalação focada em inovação – e os 200 cidadãos que vai empregar –estimulará o avanço tecnológico de última geração para a empresa.”
“A Embraer abriu suas portas para o setor da aviação em rápido crescimento em Brevard e, como resultado, a participação da nossa comunidade tem aumentado”, disse Lynda Weatherman, Presidente e Diretora-Executiva da Comissão de Desenvolvimento Econômico da Space Coast da Flórida. “Em questão de anos, o perfil da comunidade empresarial da Space Coast se transformou em um foco de atividade da aviação, porque esta comunidade dedicada foi capaz de mostrar à Embraer o que tínhamos para oferecer: nossa força de trabalho, nosso estilo de vida, nossa cultura aeronáutica e nossa visão voltada ao futuro. Essa mensagem está se traduzindo em novas oportunidades para a Space Coast.”
Nos últimos três anos, a Embraer foi nomeada uma das Melhores Empresas para Trabalhar na Flórida.
