MAA Chief Executive, Andrew Mair recently participated in the 2024 European Aerospace Cluster Partnership (EACP) General Assembly in Aix-En-Provence. The MAA has been a member of EACP for many years. The two-day meeting, hosted by French cluster Pôle SAFE, saw intense discussions and stimulating exchanges between more than 49 participants from 15 countries representing over 40 clusters like the MAA from right across Europe.   Other regional #aerospace alliances also present from the UK included Aerospace Wales Forum Ltd, Farnborough Aerospace Consortium and North West Aerospace Alliance. All clusters share a focus on supporting smaller aerospace, space and aviation companies to network and improve their performance. Across a series of presentations and workshops, participants exchanged their regions’ experiences and perspectives on subjects ranging from global trade, supply chain resilience, workforce development, and sustainable aviation.   There were reports on EU-funded programmes led by EACP member clusters, the launch of a new working group with the goal of aligning EACP SMEs with funding programs across Europe, a networking reception linked to regional aerospace B2B meetings, and a visit to the huge, 9,000-employee, Airbus Helicopters factory and HQ.   According to Andrew: “Virtually all the regions we see exhibiting with their member companies at events like the Farnborough and Paris airshows are part of the EACP. These large annual meetings, and the many smaller workshops and events EACP organises over the course of the year, are hugely collaborative. They let the MAA benchmark what is happening on the ground right across Europe’s aerospace industry, as well as learn best practice - especially from the well-resourced big French European clusters.”   The MAA hosted a hybrid EACP General Assembly in 2021. In 2025, the meetings will take place in Zaragoza, Spain with our friends from AERA - Clúster de Aeronáutica, Aeroespacial y Defensa de Aragón. #aerospaceindustry #aerospaceindustries #aerospacemanufacturing #aerospaceengineering #advancedmanufacturing #advancedengineering #ukmanufacturing #ukengineering #manufacturingindustry #manufacturinguk #engineeringuk #ukmfg

#Aerospace in Région Pays de la Loire ? I get often the question ... but yes, even being less iconic and not spontaneously identified as Aerospace ecosystems as are the regions of Toulouse or Hamburg, a strong Aerospace industry exist in the region PDL, where industrial expertises are also fueled and cross-fertilised from other leading industries, such as the Naval Ship building, Marine Renewable Energy, etc. To fulfil the industry high-demanding expertise, numerous engineering schools and innovation hubs are completing this regional picture, while the region is also very attractive from quality of life and national / international connections point of views ... For those interested, please have a look at the attached infographic, rapidly made out of a great leaflet issued June 2023 by the regional trade agency, Solutions&co (ie most probably for the International Paris Air Show, last year) Btw, for english readers, I will seek if an English version exist ... The link is also indicated as 1rst comment Poke and thanks to Gonzague MANNESSIER, Sophie Riand and their colleagues ...

Aerospace Industry and Innovation Day ✈️ International Civil Aviation Organization's European and North Atlantic office brought together 35 of its Directors General of Civil Aviation in Toulouse this week, and ATR proudly represented the vibrant spirit of regional aviation. Hosted by Airbus and GIFAS - Groupement des Industries Françaises Aéronautiques et Spatiales, the Aerospace Industry and Innovation Day aimed to foster knowledge sharing and discussions on the latest advancements in the industry, with a special focus on decarbonisation. Our CEO, Nathalie Tarnaud Laude, conveyed ATR's pioneering vision, emphasizing our commitment to #innovation, industry transformation, and reimagining the way we travel. Our goal is clear: to ensure a promising future for generations to come. ✔️ ATRs are not concepts but a proven reality! The ATR -600 series, with an impressive track record of 36 million flight hours, stands as the regional aircraft with the lowest emissions on the market today, emitting a remarkable 45% less CO2 than regional jets of similar size. It has become the preferred choice for airlines, communities, and economies seeking responsible connectivity. ✔️ Imagine the impact: Replacing all regional jets currently operating in Europe on routes below 500NM with ATRs would result in a colossal 33% reduction in CO2 emissions. ✔️ As we strive to be 100% SAF (Sustainable Aviation Fuel) ready by next year, we are also actively exploring a more disruptive aircraft concept—the ATR EVO. This medium-term solution aims to significantly reduce emissions in regional aviation without compromising on accessibility and versatility, which are indispensable to the communities relying on our aircraft. Join us on our innovation journey and discover how ATR is shaping the future of low-emission aviation 👉 https://lnkd.in/eqEd_JGZ

->First flights by aircraft type : -l’A300 en oct 1972 -A310 en avril 1982 -A320 en fév 1987 -A321 en mars 1993 -A319 en août 1995 -A318 en juil 2003 -A330 en nov 1992 -A340 en oct 1991 -A350 en juin 2013 -A380 en avril 2005 Airbus nomenclature ✈️ To understand the Airbus nomenclature, we need to go back to the 1970s. At the time, to meet the growing need for mobility, Airbus set about creating a wide-body aircraft capable of carrying 300 passengers. Thus was born the "A300", A for Airbus and 300 for the number of passengers that could board. In 1967, the "A300" label was awarded to an airliner that Airbus Industrie planned to manufacture, with 320 seats and two engines. The A380 is the exception that proves the rule! The aircraft nicknamed "the liner of the skies" takes its name from its unusual shape. According to legend, the number 8 was chosen to represent the plane's double deck as seen from the front. The number 8 is also a lucky number in many Asian countries, whose market is the main target. Vidéo crédit : Airbus

It is now certain: on July 9th, the European launcher Ariane 6 will take off for the first time and serve as the successor to Ariane 5, which has been in service for over twenty-five years until last year. 🚀 With this project, Ariane 6 marks a new era in autonomous European space travel and the cost-effectiveness of a flight will make the European market more competitive. 🛰️ The design of the rocket also stands out - not only because the parts are manufactured in Europe, for example in France or Austria, where Beyond Gravity Austria is responsible for the “high-temperature thermal insulation for the rocket engines of the launcher and a mechanism for controlling the upper stage of the rocket”, but also because of the modular design. The Ariane 6 rocket can be equipped with either two or four boosters, depending on requirements, in order to be able to optimally launch both heavy payloads and closer targets, for example. 🤩 Everything you need to know: https://ow.ly/F7ak50ScjEq 📷: Manuel Pedoussaut/ESA/dpa

Reducing the use of aircraft engines during taxiing ✈ 🚕! Together with ACI EUROPE and operational and technical experts from across #aviation EUROCONTROL has produced a Concept of Operations (CONOPS) & Industry Guidance to save fuel and reduce emissions. The improvement of environmental performance of airports is without doubt one of the key 🌿 challenges of many, if not all, #airports. EUROCONTROL's Airport Operations Team (AOT) Sustainable Taxiing Taskforce – a forum of operational and technical stakeholders - has delivered a high-level CONOPS that includes recommendations and considerations for implementation of sustainable taxi operations. The CONOPS, based on a simplified model of taxi operations, demonstrates the environmental benefit potential to reduce fuel and emissions (in addition to improvement of Local Air Quality and noise at the apron), but also addresses possible operational improvements in operations with sustainable taxi solutions. The reduction-potential of noise, local air quality and emissions of sustainable taxiing solutions are very significant in comparison to other air traffic management related reductions. The analysis shows that emission reductions of up to 400 kg of CO2 are possible (standard LTO taxi-out times, A320 family). 💡 Sustainable taxiing solutions should be therefore seriously considered as part of the overall sustainability package of the aviation sector. Read the CONOPS to learn more about integrating technological enablers in operations and maximising environmental benefits and operational efficiency: https://lnkd.in/eKramsCv
