  1. The Biggest Aerospace Deals from the Paris Air Show

    Leave a Comment

    The Paris Air Show is the largest event of its kind. It’s the place to see the most beautiful aircraft and the newest, most high-tech innovations in the industry. But it’s also where the biggest aerospace deals in the world get done.

    Here are the most important industry developments from PAS 2019.

    Boeing

    Things started slowly for Boeing, which made its first sale since March —  twenty 787-9 and 787-10 Dreamliners — to Korean Air on the second day of the Paris Air Show. 

    Boeing’s big moment came when IAG, owner of British Airways, agreed to buy 200 737 Max planes, likely at a discount due to its current safety concerns. 

    Other deals included: 

    – China Airlines and Qatar Airways each bought several 777 freighter models

    – GECAS placed an order for ten 737-800 converted freighters 

    – Air Lease Corporation committed to purchase 5 wide body 787 Dreamliners

    Airbus

    To kick of the show, Airbus announced the launch of the A321XLR, a widely anticipated single-aisle plane that will allow airlines to serve long distances between smaller cities. 

    Airbus sold 27 XLRs to Air Lease Corporation, 50 to American Airlines and 32 to Indigo Partners, as well as smaller orders to four smaller airliners.

    With the 14 wide-body A330neos sold to Virgin Atlantic, Airbus cashed in for an estimated $35 billion in total sales. 

    Embraer

    Brazilian firm Embraer reached a deal with Dutch airline KLM to sell 15 of its E195 E2 regional jets. KLM will use the plans on its sister airline KLM Cityhopper, and has the option to buy 20 more jets. 

    Embraer cleaned up quite nicely at the Paris Air Show, taking orders for 78 planes worth $4.6 billion. 

    Mitsubishi Aircraft Corporation 

    Mitsubishi Aircraft Corporation revealed that it was in talks with an unnamed U.S. airline over the sale of its SpaceJet M100, a narrow-body regional jet that will be ready for market in 2023.

    As a smaller, U.S. clause compliant version of Mitsubishi’s MRJ90 regional jet, the M100 is tailored specifically for the U.S. market and designed to help Mitsubishi compete with Embraer as the dominant supplier to regional airlines like JetBlue and SkyWest.

    The SpaceJet M100 cabin — which comes in a 65-76 seat, three-class cabin configuration or with 88 seats in a single class — was presented on the exhibition floor at the Paris Air Show.

  5. Headed to Paris? Here’s the travel adapter / voltage converter you need

    Leave a Comment

    If you’re attending the Paris Air Show, you’re probably starting to think about what you’ll need to pack. One thing you definitely don’t want to forget? A travel adapter and/or voltage converter!

    They will cost you a small a fortune at the airport, and can be VERY tough to find overseas (they sell them, but they are to convert to our sockets/voltage).

    That’s why we wanted to remind you what kind you need so you can order one in time for Paris. We hope it saves you time and money!

    Don’t forget to stop by Hall 6, Booth N°C73 for a free notebook, pen, tote bag and microfiber glasses cleaner at the AMI booth — or pick a time and day that works for you here: Répondez s’il vous plaît (RSVP)

    Travel Adapter

    Outlet sockets have a different shape in Europe than the United States and Canada. To plug your devices into the wall, you’ll need a travel adapter, like this one.

    Please note that a travel adapter does not convert voltage. It will only work with dual voltage products, like your computer and phone.

    To charge things like a CPAP machine, curling iron, or any other specialized equipment you need for your booth, you’ll likely need a voltage converter.

    Voltage Converter

    American appliances run on 110 volts. European appliances run on 220 volts.

    To charge anything that’s not dual voltage, you’ll need a voltage converter, like this one, to step the power down from 220 to 110.

    About Aerospace Manufacturing

    Aerospace Manufacturing is a AS9100 and ISO 9001:2015 accredited, QSLM approved manufacturer trusted by industry leading organizations like Sikorsky, Boeing, Aerojet Rocketdyne and Lockheed Martin (F-35 program) to create their most challenging fasteners.

  6. Dassault and Airbus to Collaborate on Next-Generation Combat Jet

    Leave a Comment

    Dassault Aviation and Airbus have been awarded the first-ever Joint Concept Study (JCS) contract for the Future Combat Air System (FCAS) program by France and Germany. The two-year study kicked off February 20, just in time to have demonstrator programs ready for presentation at the Paris Air Show in June 2019.

    The goal of the joint study is to come up with different FCAS capabilities and pave the way for the design, industrialization and full operational capability of a next-generation manned fighter, new weapons systems, and unmanned drones that would be linked together by the cloud.

    FCAS is more than just a combat aircraft. It is a system of systems including a large array of interconnected and interoperable elements, from medium-altitude, long endurance drones to cruise missiles and drone swarms.  

    According to Dirk Hoke, CEO of Airbus Defence and Space, “FCAS is one of the most ambitious European defense programs of the century.”

    Project completion is slated for 2040.

    Dassault Aviation, the architect and integrator of the combat system, is based in Paris and has its North American HQ just down the road from us in Teteboro. Airbus, based in Toulouse, has its North American HQ in Herndon, VA.

    Though currently only France and Germany have signed onto the project, Hoke thinks more European involvement will be necessary. “FCAS should be and is a European project that transcends national borders, bringing in involvement from countries such as Spain, Italy, Sweden, Belgium and more,” he said.
