"From Toowoomba to the World" Assuming most of our readers have never been to Toowoomba (we haven't either...yet), here's a glimpse of it's significance to the future of public-private innovation: It's the site of a collaborative R&D facility between Boeing Defense and the Australian industrial base! This is most significant because of a major program that Boeing has been developing for years called the MQ-28 Ghost Bat, which is an uncrewed aerial vehicle about the size of a small private plane. Besides the platform itself being part of major international technology campaigns to develop state-of-the-art Aerospace capabilities in human-machine teaming, it serves as a model for developing critical technology (1) across economic alliances and (2) in compliance with strict technology export regimes. So, while the platform is only still in early flight testing, the groundwork is being done (literally) to institutionalize such a model for international collaboration on future-defining technologies. https://lnkd.in/gTjP6vPs

Herald Premium | On one side of the airport at Burlington, Vermont, F35-Lightnings from the Air National Guard roar into the sky for training assignments at supersonic speed. On the other side of the airfield a quieter mission is under way, BETA TECHNOLOGIES is pioneering commercially viable battery-powered planes and they’re coming to New Zealand. An Air New Zealand aircraft sits at the end of the production line at Beta’s sparkling new manufacturing plant. It's still branded “experimental” — but from April next year, it will fly in a technical demonstrator programme based in Hamilton and Wellington. Grant Bradley reports. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/gyCzScyc

✈️ Reaching new heights with landside development! ✈️ Aircraft charters, MRO companies, flight schools, the military, aerospace companies, and other private aviation companies can all benefit immensely from building facilities on publicly owned airport land. This arrangement allows private companies to expand their operations while bringing significant economic benefits to the airport and greater community. Dibble has significant experience helping developers navigate the unique engineering challenges of landside development. Recently, we worked with Cutter Aviation, Ascent Aviation Services, and Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University to expand their airport facilities in the Southwest. From aircraft hangars and aircraft parking ramps to utilities, vehicle parking, and airfield connectivity, Dibble is adept at facilitating landside arrangements that enable both private developers and airports to reach new heights! We’d love to partner with you on your next project. Read more at https://lnkd.in/gXUumzwe. Stay tuned for part two. #Dibble #AirportDevelopment #LandsideDevelopment #Aviation #CivilEngineering

"We need to learn something, not just talk about it" This was an objective that was clear for us and for EASA - European Union Aviation Safety Agency from the initial concept of WORC24. That is why I am so excited about this partnership with the University of Southampton. It is also a demonstration of a longer relationship that we have had with the Department of Decision Analytics and Risk through our sponsorship of a PhD, conducted by Stanislav Bukhman and supervised by Prof. Mario P. Brito, focusing on probabilistic methods of risk analysis. Both of these leading experts will be speaking at WORC24. The other key objective we had was that WORC24 is not to be a stand alone event, for which the conversation stops the moment everyone leaves the conference and doesn't start again until the next one. The partnership with UoS will deliver on-going and continuous conversation beyond the conference. We will be co-authoring a white paper on the key outcomes and recommendations from the conference and we are looking to run academic workshops focusing on quantification of mitigation from expert opinion in the months following WORC24. This is what conferences should be - a platform for industry engagement that facilitates and enables further conversation and development. Thank you to UoS Department of Decision Analytics and Risk. Looking forward to developing this partnership even further and looking forward to seeing everyone in Warsaw. More exciting news on the educational side to come... #WORC24 #bestteamever #riskmanagement #avsec

100 Years at Granja do Marques - A Past and Present of Aeronautics In Sintra, thousands of Portuguese people, heartened by the daily contemplation of sea and hills, have experienced aeronautics through serving in the Air Force. Many forged their military career there, gaining a specialisation or unique command skills. Some, as crew members, have soared through the skies, making their dream of flying a reality. This stamp issue, dated 12 October 2020, marks the centenary of the start of the first piloting course at Granja do Marquês. From 20 February 1920, the Military Aviation School, transferred from Vila Nova da Rainha, got ready to revive the noble activity of flight instruction. The Military Aviation School was thus able to evolve, organisationally and structurally, and went by a series of different names according to the diverse aspects that characterised it over the course of a century. In 1939, as a result of the reorganisation of the Air Force, it was named Air Base No.1 and continued to embrace, sentimentally and professionally, all “aviators” from the various specialities. The School combined experience, knowledge and aeronautic know-how across its multiple facets, contributing to the training of the first civil pilots in Portugal and representing an added value for the Military Aeronautics in its transformation into the Portuguese Air Force, in 1952. The initial small runway, just 400 metres long in 1920, was extended and, by the end of the 1930s , it was being used as Lisbon International Airport. From the 1960s, it evolved into an exceptional aeronautical infrastructure in which modern jet aeroplanes were used for pilot instruction. Over 100 years, Granja do Marquês has kept pace with the prodigious developments in aviation, becoming a point of reference in terms of the specificity of its instruction and teaching, operations and heritage. Moving forwards, following the reformulation of the national strategy during the 1970s, technical and technological developments, the acquisition and use of new capacities, as well as the need to increase and enhance aeronautical knowledge in an across-the-board approach to the role of Air Authority, led to a concentration, in Granja do Marquês, of areas of innovation related to the teaching and military training of personnel through the creation of the Institute of Higher Studies and the Air Force Academy. https://lnkd.in/dCSBTmMV
