Robertson Fuel Systems (RFS), A HEICO Company, and Vector Aerospace have completed a major milestone toward Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) certification of their Crash-Resistant Fuel Tank (CRFT) for the Airbus AS350 light single helicopter family. After a successful completion of a 50-foot drop test which demonstrated the tank’s ability to withstand impact without any leakage, thereby helping to prevent post-crash fires. Flight testing of the AS350 CRFT is now underway at Vector’s Langley, BC, facility.
The Crash-Resistant Fuel Tank is being developed by Robertson Fuel Systems and Vector as a direct replacement for all AS350 models, including the H125 (AS350 B3e), as well as for the EC130 B4. The unique design features a vigorous crash-resistant fuel bladder, and uses several alterations including a magneto-resistive fuel quality transmitter to keep the tank from being compromised in the event of an accident.
Commenting on the landmark, RFS Chief Executive Officer Newman Shufflebarger said:
“Witnessed by the FAA, the successful drop test was a critically important milestone that cleared the way for flight testing and certification to be completed this year.”
That is an amazing breakthrough for pilots and aviation world. A legislation was proposed in the wake of a 2015 AS350 Flight for Life crash in Colorado that investigators presumed survivable but for a post-crash fire.
A Colorado congressman has recently introduced legislation, the Helicopter Fuel System Safety Act (H.R. 4574), that would require crashworthy fuel systems on all newly manufactured helicopters, regardless of the aircraft’s original certification date. In addition, the FAA Reauthorization Act now includes an amendment that requires the FAA to make helicopter owners aware of fuel system retrofits and urge them to install retrofits “as soon as practicable.”
In association with the successful drop test milestone, Robertson and Vector have also announced the launch customers for the AS350 CRFT. Elvis Moniz, Vice President of Business Development for Airframe and Avionics Solutions at Vector, stated:
“We are excited to announce that our longtime customers Air Methods Corporation (AMC) and WeatherTech Aviation LLC will be our launch partners for the AS350 CRFT, and we look forward to supporting their operations.”

The energy storage dimensions of batteries must counter balance for their heavy weight, which results in battery-powered air travel not commercially practical. As energy density is improving companies are seeing this as a possibility. We have seen some improvement with Airbus’’ E-Fan being the first electric plane to successfully fly across the English Channel.
A new startup aiming for the more aspiring goal of building a battery-powered 150-seat plane to compete with 737-size aircrafts in the market for short-haul trips (under 300 miles). Batteries are one item that we sell here at One Click Purchasing, it gets complicated with them when customers are AOG since these cannot be shipped overnight because they are hazard. If aircrafts become full electronic it will be great for the battery manufactures. They will begin making thousands of batteries and we will stock these here at One Click Purchasing so customers can just come to us and get a great price.
Considering flights under 300 miles, it is a huge market noting that Boeing and Airbus sold close to 1,000 of those regional airplanes for about $90 million each last year. The cost of fuel is such a major portion of the functioning cost for airlines. Due to the cost of fuel, the return investment could be quick if the batteries are recharged with cheap electricity. These upgrades of batteries will create less pollution and save our earth. Wright Electric, which is named after the Wright brothers, have not planned on fostering their own battery technology.
As technology improves, Wright Electric wants to develop the architecture for an electric plane and add the battery tech from suppliers. Tesla CEO, Elon Musk, revealed having his own design for a VTOL electric plane.
At One Click Purchasing, we are great at knowing about new projects that are being started because that’s how we get a great amount of orders. Also, we like to know exactly what is going on when a customer calls, so customers know they can trust us because we are knowledgeable of the parts and projects going on. Also, we can have stock available for these customers and give them a low price since we will be buying at a large quantity.

Tecnam’s P2006T piston-twin reached a program momentous on March 10 with the delivery of the 200th component to Polish flight training academy and long-time customer Bartolini Air. Being on time for delivers is something that is very important in this industry because many airplanes cannot leave the ground without certain parts. Airlines want to continue flying customers, so sometimes they will do whatever it takes to get a part there at a certain time, even if that means paying double the amount.
Here at One Click Purchasing, we like to be honest with customers and give them the exact lead time. The four-seat, high-wing airplane unites two other P2006Ts in Bartolini's taskforce, along with six two-seat P2002JF piston-singles and a four-seat P2010.
The P2006T entered service eight years ago, as Tecnam’s only in-production piston-twin. The clean-sheet P2012 Traveller will bring this line-up to two when it enters service in 2019. The Italian air framer says the common of P2006Ts are used for reserved flying and training, although an accumulative number are being implemented in charter and special mission roles. Training in this industry is an important things because many things can go wrong while being in the air. These training are good for our company because companies like to place orders for multiple parts.
A P2006T with a high-aspect wing, accompanying a 14-motor electric impulsion system, is also being used by NASA as its X-57 Maxwell supporter. The research program is engrossed on electrical impulsion for a universal aviation-class aircraft.
At One Click Purchasing, we are great at knowing about new projects that are being started because that’s how we get a great amount of orders.

Ensuring the aircraft type’s entry to service by the second half of next year the second flight test vehicle (FTV2) of Bombardier Business Aircraft’s Global 7000 and Global 8000 aircraft program has concluded its initial flight. During the four hour 28-minute flight, which took off from Bombardier’s facility in Toronto, Canada. Testing was performed on the FTV2’s aircraft propulsion, electrical and mechanical systems. The flight also tested the aircraft ascending to a height of 43,000ft, confirming the vehicle’s performance at high-altitude.
Bombardier Global 7000 and Global 8000 program senior vice-president Michel Ouellette said,
"The successful flight of the first flight test vehicle (FTV1) in November 2016 paved the way to the smooth flight of FTV2 this past weekend. We are focused on meeting the program’s development and certification schedule and, once again, we have demonstrated our ability to deliver results through the hard work and dedication of the highly skilled teams working on the program."
Featuring four living spaces and a committed crew rest area, the Global 7000 business jet is expected to provide non-stop services between London and Singapore, as well as from Dubai to New York and other locations. Bombardier product development vice-president Francois Caza stated,
“We now have a flight test vehicle dedicated to testing the aircraft’s systems. Data from FTV2 will supplement the successful results we have already obtained from test rigs, including the integrated systems test and certification rig (ISCTR) and, from the extensive flight testing of FTV1 to date.”
In November last year, Bombardier conducted the maiden flight of its first flight test vehicle (FTV1) of the Global 7000 aircraft program.

Flight testing is very necessary in any aircraft production program, there are prototype airplanes that are designed specifically for flight testing to ensure everything on the aircraft is functioning and responding properly. For example, testing how much weight an airplane can take on board is a very important because most importantly people want to transport goods with them when traveling and knowing how much is safe is very important. Also maximum speed is another test that needs to be conducted to ensure that the airplane can reach its maximum speed without any risks.
Flight testing is one thing when you have a pilot on board but it is definitely different when you are operating a remotely piloted aircraft. The U.S. Department has decided to run a flight testing program at Pendleton Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS). The purpose of this aircraft is going to be to take atmospheric data in the Arctic regions and this requires a lot of skill and good technology.
The flight testing was expected to run daily until March 17 and this is to get it ready for the year 2018 when the research is schedule to begin. The ArcticShark UAS is owned by the U.S. Department of Energy and managed by the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) which is a climate research facility. The ArcticShark UAS is designed to fly almost 15,000 ft in order to get a fair data images of the region being studied and it can go up to a speed of 75 miles/hour.

Traveling in an aircraft is something that every person needs to experience. The great technological advancements and technology that allows people to fly thousands of miles in the air can truly make a first-timer feel either fearful or in awe.
However for those who travel by plane frequently, there are definitely many factors in choosing an airline or aircraft. People who have the ability to afford luxury can take much more comfortable flights. A passenger can upgrade from economy class to business or even first class. In regards to business class flights, United Airlines introduced its new Polaris business class seats on domestic flights.
The reason for this upgrade was due to the fact that United Airlines was behind its competitors because they did not have the option of a premium economy cabin. A large factor that plays into the decision of a customer is how comfortable they will be during the flight, especially for international flights that may have a person restrained to the seat for 15 hours more!
As these improvements of aircraft parts attract customers, it is no surprise that Delta has also decided to introduce its premium economy options later in the year. As these aircraft parts begin to develop and progress, the future comfort and effectiveness of aircraft parts will vastly change the way passengers in the future travel in the air versus people who first entered airplanes. This exciting upgrade allows passengers to hope for better conditions when flying.

The Raytheon AIM-9X is the primary weapon for the F-35. However, there is a bit of a setback with these new weapons. During the test flights with the new weapons, the F-35 pilots experienced increased turbulence. The needs for stronger wings to carry the AIM-9Xs were expressed and the existing wings were too weak to support the new dog-fighting weapon. Engineers have already developed a new outer wing that is tougher, but it must pass the flight test before the wings are officially manufactured.
As with all upgrades, there will be complications because the aircraft part supplier and manufacturers only build and plan for the existing aircrafts. However, this is only a short obstacle as people can upgrade and update their designs and productions.
The wings were not the only setbacks from this new upgrade, as the weapons themselves have undergone their own various trials. Similarly, these upgrades usually have more upgrades than time can allow, and these visions will ultimately slow down the process of production, completion, and release.
For instance, the longing for the AIM-9X to seek a moving target is definitely slowing down the process of when these missiles will be complete. Nevertheless, the new addition will be a great addition to the military. As our technology increases, many aircraft suppliers will continue to upgrade their inventory to accommodate these changes and all aircrafts will continue to improve.
