Airbus and Arconic have agreed to enter into two agreements for the production of 3D-printed metal parts and components. Both types of parts will be produced of two different types of materials such as high-temp nickel super alloys and titanium for the aircrafts parts that will be used on the Airbus’ commercial aircraft. These parts that are in the process of being produced are to be used on the A320 Airbus aircraft family. The material of the products was determined for certain reasons by Airbus to be used on their aircrafts such the nickel super alloy.
President Elect Mr. Donald Trump has put much thought into his advisory and has his eye on a certain Senator to be placed to lead the pentagon. US Senator Mr. Thomas Cotton, who served as an infantry officer on missions in Iraq and Afghanistan. The choices for who to put in the Sectary of Defense position where varied from retired generals and many more contenders.

If people have reached a very high level of technology and helicopters have become very useful in numerous aspects of life from personal use, to emergencies, to military, armed forces, to industrial and corporate use. A Helicopter is not only useful but it can be essential in some cases. Aurora Flight Sciences is determined to find ways to develop new and advanced ways to fly vertically from the ground without the help or the need for a pilot. This system has been at work for many years where people are trying to achieve autonomous flight system for vertical take-off and landing (VTOL). This project is being planned to create an unmanned UH-1H helicopter, an UH-1H helicopter that is fully capable with advanced VTOL systems making it one of the few helicopters of its kind.
We don’t usually think about light but people began to learn about light more than a thousand years ago. What are the characteristics of light and is the light we see the only light that exist? This was discovered by one of the most famous physicist of all time, Isaac Newton. When he was studying the different wavelengths of light he was experimenting with the different characteristics of the colors of the rainbow. He discovered that at every wavelength or every color of the rainbow carries different energy and the way he found that out is by placing a thermometer under each color. He had a piece of crystal that can reflect the suns light to all the colors of the rainbow on the table he placed it placed on. He placed a thermometer under each color and he saw a steady increase of temperature as he moved from one color to the next. The most interesting thing is that after he passed all the colors he placed the thermostat on the table close to the rainbow but not under any of the colors reflected from the crystal, what he saw was astonishing because the thermostat had the highest reading from all colors. That’s when the infrared light was discovered.
Airports are expensive and a lot of work goes into establishing the busy suitable airport for customers. It requires a lot of effort into establishing a good airport, recently British Airways announced that they are investing 110 Millions into the airport.

After a long consideration and planning, in spring of 2017 Rockwell Collins will officially take ownership of B/E Aerospace. Rockwell believes that this is an investment worth making, $8.3 billion is money well spent when it comes to investing into one of the most successful and significant leader in aircraft interior manufacturer that designs, develops and manufactures interior of cabin lights, oxygen systems, food or kitchen equipment and toilet equipment. They do this for commercial and business aircrafts. This can be a great addition to Rockwell Collins as Rockwell specializes in Cabin equipment such as electronics, flight deck avionics, communication systems, and information systems. These technologies get manufactured and designed with the manufacturing and design of the aircraft, therefore; making Rockwell Collins dependent on aircraft production rate. Having said that, B/E Aerospace is not dependent on Aircraft production rate, however they are driven by airlines needs and wants. B/E Aerospace deals with a lot more productions of components that wasn’t included in the original manufacturing.
Lufthansa finally takes the plundge to obtain the remaining 55% of SN Airholding that the Belguim based Brussel Airlines had to offer. The Supervisory Board of Deutsche Lufthansa AG has finally approved and agreed to go through with obtaining the rest of SN, a holding company of The Belgain Airline. As the 2008 Lufthansa primarily owned 45 % of Brussel Airlines and has now approved to be processed by the early of next year Aircraft Propellers And Components. The decisions have still not been yet completed solely based on the approval of the SN shareholder’s opinions on the matter.
On Sept 29, 2016 Country E. Howard wrote an article for Intelligent Aerospace talking about how Harris Corporation and Boeing are teaming up in order to provide their service for future military aircrafts. They are working on advanced core missions that includes aircrafts communications, sensors, displays, and navigation.
Chris Pocock write an article for AIN Online on September 8th 2016, talking about how Lord Corporation is providing a newly improved vibration control system of IVCS for the Boeing CH-47 Chinook helicopter. Completion of this program milestones under a contract that was rewarded by Boeing in late 2013.
Airbus Helicopter has dived into a new futuristic endeavor. As one of the leaders in the aeronautical industry, this new project does not seem so far reaching. Airbus plans on designing a self-flying taxi with an entire independent drone network. To step things up on this already ambitious plan, the firm plans testing for the flying taxi to begin by early 2017.
