Two companies bid to become the Brand New Air Traffic Control System prime integrator, FAA issues carry-on SAFO, 737 MAX production limits eased, P&W and GE adaptive cycle engines, Sikorsky contract for CH-53K helicopters, and Sergei Sikorsky passes away at age 100. Aviation News Two bidders vie to be project manager of massive FAA US air traffic overhaul Two bids to become the prime integrator in the FAA's project to overhaul the air traffic control system have been received. Congress has approved $12.5 billion for the Brand New Air Traffic Control System (BNATCS), and the Agency has indicated that an additional $19 billion might be requested. The bids come from two DC Beltway companies: Peraton is a national security company owned by Veritas Capital and headquartered in Reston, Virginia. See the press release: Peraton Offers the FAA a Brand New Approach for Its Revolutionary ATC Modernization Initiative. Parsons Corporation is a technology provider in national security and global infrastructure markets. Headquartered in Chantilly, Virginia, Parsons confirmed it has bid with IBM. The FAA says it will make a selection by the end of October. FAA urges airlines to discourage passengers from taking bags during evacuations The FAA issued Safety Alert for Operators (SAFO 25003, PDF) titled “Addressing Risk Associated with Passenger Non-Compliance and Retention of Carry-On Baggage and Personal Items During Emergency Evacuations.” The SAFO “Serves to emphasize the operational and safety-critical importance of strict passenger compliance with crewmember instructions during emergency evacuations. Specifically, it addresses the adverse effects of passengers attempting to evacuate with carry-on items, which can significantly impede evacuation procedures and increase the potential for injury or fatality.” FAA Signals Easing of Oversight on Boeing Jets The FAA is expecting to restore Boeing's ability to conduct safety sign-offs on new 737 MAX jets. Final airworthiness certificates will continue to be issued by the regulator The FAA is also considering increasing Boeing's 737 MAX production cap from 38 to 42 planes per month. Engines for America's F-47 Sixth Gen Combat Aircraft Coming Together Faster Than Expected The F-47 is being developed as part of the Next Generation Air Dominance (NGAD) Family of Systems. It's a stealthy air superiority aircraft that can directly engage adversaries on the ground and in the air. It will be able to fly itself as well as collaborate with and control wingman drones. The propulsion system being developed under the Next Generation Adaptive Propulsion (NGAP) program is a concept that offers two modes of operation, which can be dynamically adjusted in flight: high thrust and high speed, and lower thrust with reduced fuel burn. Adaptive cycle engines can modulate the bypass ratio and fan pressure using a third air stream and advanced variable geometry components. Both Pratt & Whitney and General Electric are developing NGAP engines. Airbus, Air France reject blame over AF447 crash, 16 years on Air France 447 crashed in the Atlantic in 2009. In a 2023 trial, the judge found acts of negligence by Airbus and Air France, but determined that, under French criminal law, these acts were insufficient to establish a definitive link to the loss of the A330. Both Airbus and Air France were cleared of corporate manslaughter. In an appeals hearing, the two companies pleaded not guilty. Air France and Airbus chief executives recognized the suffering of the families, but denied any criminal responsibility for the crash. Appeal hearings are expected to run until late November 2025. Sikorsky to Build 99 CH-53K King Stallions for the U.S. Marine Corps Sikorsky announced the award of a $10.8 billion contract from the U.S. Navy to build up to 99 CH-53K King Stallion helicopters for the U.S. Marine Corps over the next five years.

Alle 27 EU-lidstaten hebben de verklaring van de Semicon Coalition ondertekend. Deze verklaring moet ervoor zorgen dat de Europese halfgeleider-industrie versterkt wordt - en leiden tot ruim 40 miljard aan nieuwe investeringen. Een turbulente dag op Schiphol. Air France en Delta willen de bagage van hun vliegtuigen niet langer laten afhandelen door KLM. Enkele uren later meldden de vakbonden dat de stakingen van het KLM grondpersoneel van aankomende woensdag niet doorgaan. En later op de dag werd bekend dat Schiphol de tariefstijging van 5 procent voor luchtvaartmaatschappijen toch niet gaat invoeren. De Raad voor Volksgezondheid & Samenleving (RVS) waarschuwt in een nieuw rapport voor de hypernerveuze samenleving. Wat is het? En wat moeten we ermee aan?

Op 1 iemand hoeft ABN Amro niet te rekenen. De Nederlandsche Bank gaat niet zomaar voor een overname van de bank liggen, zegt president Olaf Sleijpen. Hij is fan van één Europese kapitaalmarkt, en daarbij hoort ook dat elk overnamebod op waarde moet worden beoordeeld. Dus ziet hij het voorstel van het Belgische KBC vrolijk tegemoet. Als KBC nog twijfelde, is dit dan de bevestiging dat de weg voor een overname vrij is? Dat zoeken we deze aflevering uit. Verder hebben we het over de Europese autosector. Die krijgt bijval van een belangrijke politicus. De man aan de leiding van het grootste autoland van Europa is om. Friedrich Merz springt voor zijn autobouwers in de bres en wil af van de verplichte overstap naar elektrische motoren. Tegen 2035 wil de EU dat autobouwers geen enkele benzine- of dieselmotor meer maken. Maar autobouwers zien het als de strop, aangezien de concurrentie uit China moordend is. En met Merz aan hun zijde kan daar nog wel eens verandering in komen. Je hoort ook nog over een miljardenovername tussen twee Nederlandse bedrijven op Wall Street. Over de grootste uitkoop van een beursbedrijf met geleend geld ooit. Groter dan die van Twitter zelfs. En het gaat over het einde van een beursverhaal aan het Damrak.

Le portefeuille électronique européen Wero fête son premier anniversaire avec plus de 43 millions d'utilisateurs. Ludovic Francesconi, responsable du développement de Wero, revient sur le lancement, les ambitions et les particularités de ce nouveau service de paiement mobile pensé par les banques européennes.Pensé comme une alternative souveraine aux géants américains du paiement, Wero mise sur l'intégration directe dans les applications bancaires, un système de transfert d'argent instantané de compte à compte, et un fort soutien des institutions publiques. Une stratégie qui semble porter ses fruits, avec une adoption rapide notamment en France et en Allemagne.L'application, née de la transformation de Paylib, est déjà utilisée quotidiennement pour les paiements de particulier à particulier (P2P), via mobile, email ou QR code. Le service est intégré dans les principales applications bancaires (sauf à ce jour la Banque Postale), ce qui facilite grandement son accès pour les clients.Dès 2026, Wero vise l'extension de ses usages au commerce en ligne (e-commerce), avec des partenaires de poids comme Leclerc, Air France ou encore des administrations publiques. L'ambition est aussi d'arriver en point de vente physique, d'abord via QR code, puis via NFC.Si la souveraineté européenne est un enjeu important, Ludovic Francesconi insiste sur l'expérience utilisateur, la simplicité, la gratuité pour les consommateurs et un coût réduit pour les commerçants. L'objectif est de faire de Wero une solution moderne, fluide et compétitive.Aujourd'hui disponible en France, Allemagne et Belgique, Wero prévoit de s'étendre aux Pays-Bas et au Luxembourg en 2026, représentant ainsi 75 % des paiements de la zone euro. L'international n'est pas exclu à long terme, mais la priorité reste le marché européen.

How far away has your luggage been left behind never to be returned? Josh Bittker is a local Cambridge guy whose luggage despite containing an Apple AirTag with its exact location known, had his luggage left behind at the Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris by Air France, never to be returned. Despite persistent communication by Bittker and assurance from the airline that they knew where his luggage was and that it would be returned, the airline turned around and dubbed the luggage a total loss and it ended up at a Parisian thrift store! Josh shared his story with us as we invited listeners to also share your lost luggage stories!

How a Boeing 777 can go missing with no verifiable physical remains makes MH 370 the greatest aviation incident ever above all previous mysteries, including Air France 447 and the infamous Amelia Earhart case. The data for what happened to MH 370 is both abundant and unstable. What appears to match the known data, and the most logical assessment of other facts, is the following scenario: the Gulf of Thailand and South China Sea were the scene of a military exercise at the time of the flight's disappearance back in 2014 and 2 AWACS were monitoring the area. A pilot flying to Tokyo heard radio murmuring around the time of lost contact and the 370 co-pilot's phone made contact with a network 30min after the plane turned around and headed back towards Malaysia before turning again toward the Andaman Sea and Indian Ocean where, according to Inmarsat data, it flew south for several hours. The plane did not crash and one of the pilots apparently attempted to establish contact through alternative means, indicating the plane experienced no mechanical failures but lost communication as it was diverted. Many of the passenger's phones continued to ring after being called, something telecommunications companies had no comment on. One of the family members of the missing passengers claimed an intelligence operative approached him after going public and shared a tip that the U.S. government was fully aware of what happened. The FBI also sat on data for years before releasing it to the public or press. The satellite data for the plane's location came form Inmarsat, a UK company. Mysteriously, in the area of where the plane supposedly flew is a secretive joint US-UK military installation on Diego Garcia. Considering the presence of 20 employees from Freescale Semiconductor on board the plane flying to China, it is possible and probable that MH 370 was hijacked but likely via remote control and diverted to the military base in question, or another. What happened after could be similar to Project Northwoods. This scenario explains every piece of the puzzle. What surely did not happen was three orbs teleporting the plane, something con-artist online have sold like countless UFO scammer videos. Diego Garcia also, strangely, uses the phrase “Limuria is in our Charge,' a reference to the lost continent known as the sister of Atlantis. *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

To clarify, there will be no UK or Ireland representation, but Scandinavia and Iceland are included.

You know the Kladstrups. Frankly, anyone interested in wine, whether through in the trade or as a consumer, should/must read their first book on wine: Wine and War. Since they have published 3 more books and just releasing the latest: Eugenie; The Last Empress of France. I was honored to get an advanced copy of the book and we had a chance to sit and laugh, recall history and talk wine. Petie and Don Kladstrup have a peculiar knack for stumbling upon history's best-kept secrets, usually while chasing a good glass of wine or a mysterious letter in a Paris archive. In this episode of Wine Talks, you'll follow the Kladstrups as they unearth the remarkable story of Empress Eugenie—the last French Empress, a force of nature whose life is hidden in the shadows of her more famous male counterparts. Forget what you thought you knew about French wine and revolution; you'll come away not only with a fresh perspective on the grand cru vineyards of Bordeaux and the Champagne houses' enterprising widows, but with intimate knowledge of how Eugenie's untold story entwines itself with the very essence of France. Through the Kladstrups' lively banter, listeners will travel from the opulent halls of the Second Empire to the chaotic streets of Paris under siege, learn why an empress was once dismissed as a mere ornament, and discover how she transformed French education, fashion, architecture, and even agriculture—never mind her influential eye for haute couture and her trailblazing push for women's rights. History leaps off the page as Don and Petie describe the research adventures that led from wine cellars in exile to dusty university archives, weaving Eugenie's Spanish roots, shrewd business mind, and political resiliency into the culture of modern France. Experience the story of how personal ambition, societal prejudice, and the subtle power of a forgotten woman unravel through lost letters, chance encounters, and a passion for all things French—especially when there's a bottle uncorked at the finish line. This is not just history; it's the tale of how one extraordinary woman shaped a nation, told by those who know how to find magic in both a glass and a story.   Cakebread Cellars (referred to as the "Cake Bread family" in the transcript) Website: https://www.cakebread.com Veuve Clicquot (referred to as "V.

Bruno Guglielminetti et Jérôme Colombain reviennent sur la présentation de GPT-5 par OpenAI, saluée pour ses capacités « niveau doctorat », moins d'hallucinations et un usage plus simple, avec cinq personnalités vocales proposées. Ils évoquent deux polémiques politiques : un député britannique ayant délégué ses réponses à un robot conversationnel, et le Premier ministre suédois utilisant l'IA pour obtenir un « second avis ». Leur discussion se poursuit sur une série de cyberattaques en France, dont Bouygues Télécom et Air France, pointant la vulnérabilité des sous-traitants et l'urgence de renforcer leur sécurité.

Columbia University, Google, Salesforce, Air France, Pandora, Cisco, Chanel and so much more insanity are all part of this week's segment..

OpenAI frappe fort en plein été : deux ans après GPT-4, voici GPT-5, plus rapide, plus puissant, moins sujet aux « hallucinations » et taillé pour la programmation, la recherche scientifique et même l'assistance médicale. Un « doctorant dans la poche »Avec Bruno Guglielminetti, nous revenons sur l'annonce de GPT-5 et sur ses promesses : expertise de niveau doctorat, exécution de tâches complexes, personnalités multiples (cynique, robot, nerd…), mode vocal généralisé. Un modèle pensé autant pour les développeurs que pour le grand public. Sam Altman, le PDG d'OpenAI promet aussi un mode vocal accessible à tous et des personnalités d'IA personnalisables. IA et politique : mariage impossible ? L'IA ne s'arrête pas aux labos : en politique, elle fait déjà débat. Un député britannique et le Premier ministre suédois sont critiqués pour avoir confié certaines interactions (et réflexions) à des IA conversationnelles. Faut-il s'en réjouir ou s'en inquiéter ? Des électeurs protestent. Pourtant, n'est-ce pas la preuve de l'adoption d'une technologie incontournable par nos dirigeants ? Piratages en sériePendant ce temps, la cybercriminalité ne prend pas de vacances : Bouygues Télécom et Air France ont vu les données de millions de clients fuiter via des prestataires peu sécurisés. Une situation qui pose la question du niveau de protection exigé des sous-traitants des grands groupes.Retour de la série "Tout comprendre"Dans cet épisode, retrouvez également un extrait de la série spéciale été Tout Comprendre, consacré aux coulisses techniques de l'intelligence artificielle générative : fonctionnement des modèles de langage, biais, multimodalité… Un avant-goût des rediffusions complètes dès la semaine prochaine.-----------

En plein pic estival, les compagnies aériennes déploient des stratégies inédites pour séduire les voyageurs. Entre montée des préoccupations environnementales et rude concurrence, elles misent sur la diversification de leur offre, l'expérience passager et l'optimisation des revenus. Tour d'horizon. Il fut un temps où voler signifiait choisir entre trois classes: économique, affaire ou première. Désormais, une quatrième option s'impose dans le ciel. La classe « premium economy », un compromis confortable entre l'économie classique et les classes supérieures. Proposée aujourd'hui aussi bien par les compagnies traditionnelles qu'à présent par certaines low-cost, cette classe intermédiaire promet plus d'espace, un embarquement prioritaire et un service amélioré. Pour les compagnies, c'est surtout un surcoût relativement faible. L'objectif est simple, maximiser les revenus en augmentant le prix du billet sans exploser les coûts. Chez Delta, par exemple, cette option offre des rendements supérieurs à ceux de la classe économique standard. À lire aussiLes turbulences du secteur aérien à l'heure de la présidence de Donald Trump Les compagnies deviennent aussi des agences de voyages Autre virage stratégique, la transformation en véritables tour-opérateurs. EasyJet en est l'exemple le plus abouti avec sa plateforme EasyJet Holidays. Lancée en 2019 et arrivée en France fin 2023, cette offre 100% en ligne propose vols, hébergements et restauration – le tout sans passer par une agence physique. Résultat: un succès économique. EasyJet Holidays a représenté un tiers du bénéfice avant impôt du groupe l'an passé. Une stratégie qui inspire désormais d'autres compagnies comme Air France, Transavia, Eurowings ou Ryanair, toutes prêtes à capter une part du marché touristique global. Le « stopover », ou comment transformer une escale en escapade Et si l'on profitait de son escale pour découvrir une nouvelle ville? C'est l'idée derrière le concept de « stopover », désormais mis en avant par des compagnies telles qu'Emirates, Finnair ou Japan Airlines. Finie l'attente interminable en zone de transit, les passagers se voient offrir des nuits d'hôtel, des transferts et des repas pour explorer la ville d'escale. Une offre « gratuite » intégrée dans le prix du billet, qui profite à tout le monde : le passager vit une expérience enrichie, la compagnie valorise son hub, et le tourisme local en sort gagnant. En diversifiant leurs offres et en repensant l'expérience voyage, les compagnies aériennes parviennent à booster leurs revenus dans un contexte toujours plus concurrentiel. Une manière aussi de reconstruire leur rentabilité après les années noires du Covid-19. À lire aussiGuerre Israël-Iran: les compagnies aériennes face à une envolée des coûts

The 1956 Grand Canyon Air crash, the 1977 Tenerife Air Disaster and the 2005 Air France 744 crash were air disasters that had a lasting impact on avaiation safety. 

Duizenden miljarden dollars aan staatsschuld erbij én nieuwe importtarieven voor andere landen. President Trump was druk bezig deze week. Volgens eigen zeggen om America Great te maken, maar hij is volgens onze gast van vandaag bezig om het land juist financieel de vernieling in te helpen. Ook hoor je ook over de uitbreidingsplannen van Air France-KLM. Dat wil een meerderheidsbelang krijgen in Scandinavische concurrent SAS. Volgens de top van het bedrijf is dat nodig om de concurrentie met andere maatschappijen aan te gaan. De 'schlemiel van de luchtvaartanalisten' vertelt je of het wel echt zo'n goede zet is. Verder gaat het over de deal die de Amerikanen sluiten met China. De sfeer is totaal omgeslagen, want in het geheim is de Amerikaanse regering ceo's aan het polsen voor een trip naar het land. In oktober al. We bespreken deze aflevering waar die ommezwaai vandaan komt. Elon Musk sluit de week ook lekker af, want twee bedrijven kregen goed nieuws. Tesla, dat verkoopt ineens méér auto's in een Europees land. En in de VS krijgt 'ie ergens toestemming voor, waar hij eigenlijk al illegaal mee bezig was.Tot slot bereiden we je ook vast voor op de komende maanden. Je hoort waarom je beter niet naar oliebedrijven moet kijken. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We train mechanics to attack airplanes with tools, but A&P/IA Colleen Sterling says there's a better way. She shares her advice for using modern tools like engine monitors and borescopes to maintain airplanes on condition instead of by the calendar. She also talks about her fascinating day job, which involves searching for lost airplanes—including her role in finding the Air France 447 wreckage. In the Ready to Copy segment, Colleen explains why compression checks are overrated, how to be a better air racer, and what it's like to fly aerobatics in a biplane.SHOW LINKS:- Savvy borescope initiative: https://www.savvyaviation.com/borescope-initiative/- Air France 447 search: https://www.metsci.com/what-we-do/featured-projects/the-search-for-air-france-447/- PilotWorkshops Mastery: https://pilotworkshop.com/products/vfr-mastery/- Buy a borescope: https://www.sportys.com/rigid-one-way-articulating-borescope.html

C'est un nouveau phénomène. En Afrique, de plus en plus de pays se livrent à une « guerre » de leurs espaces aériens. Dernier exemple en date : en avril dernier, le Mali et l'Algérie, réciproquement, se sont fermés leurs espaces aériens. Le Niger a fait de même contre la France. Et la République démocratique du Congo a pris la même mesure contre le Rwanda. Quelles conséquences pour les compagnies aériennes et pour les passagers ? Ibra Wane est le directeur, pour l'Afrique, du courtier aérien français Avico, qui est spécialisé dans la location d'avions et de moteurs d'avion. En ligne de Dakar, il répond aux questions de Christophe Boisbouvier. RFI : Depuis la dernière crise entre le Mali et l'Algérie en avril dernier, les deux pays se sont mutuellement fermé leurs espaces aériens. Et concrètement, les avions Paris-Abidjan, par exemple, ne peuvent plus survoler le Mali s'ils sont passés au-dessus de l'Algérie : ils doivent donc faire un grand détour par le Maroc et le Sénégal à l'ouest. Quelles conséquences pour les passagers ? Ibra Wane : La première conséquence, c'est d'abord pour les compagnies aériennes elles-mêmes, parce que ça allonge beaucoup le temps de vol. Ça peut aller jusqu'à même 50 minutes de temps de vol supplémentaire, ce qui renchérit donc le coût du carburant, le coût d'exploitation global de la compagnie. Et comme vous le savez, le poste de carburant est le premier poste de coûts directs pour une compagnie aérienne. Imaginez donc un allongement du temps de vol de 50 minutes, ce que ça peut être comme coûts supplémentaires. Est-ce que, du coup, les passagers de Corsair, de SN Brussels, de British Airways ou d'Air France payent plus cher leur billet depuis le mois d'avril ? Non, je ne pourrais pas dire que ces passagers payent plus cher les billets, parce que les compagnies aériennes ont chacune une politique commerciale différente. Je ne suis pas certain que toutes les compagnies aient répercuté le surcoût sur les billets des passagers. Mais il est clair qu'un surenchérissement des coûts qui perdure, cela mènera forcément à une augmentation des tarifs à long terme. Et ces 50 minutes de vol supplémentaires représentent quelle surconsommation de kérosène ? Cela représente à peu près jusqu'à un sixième ou un septième de surconsommation de kérosène pour tout le vol. Si vous avez un vol Paris-Abidjan par exemple, qui fait six heures et que vous augmentez 50 minutes de vol, c'est presque une heure de vol de plus. Vous voyez, vous avez augmenté à peu près un sixième de vos coûts de carburant et c'est énorme. Alors, on dit beaucoup qu'Air France est la compagnie internationale la plus impactée par tous ces événements. Mais est-ce que la compagnie Air Algérie n'est pas aussi touchée ? Elle l'est forcément, notamment en ce qui concerne le Mali. Je m'explique. Un avion qui survole l'Algérie n'a pas le droit de survoler le Mali et vice versa. Bien entendu, si les vols d'Air Algérie vers l'Afrique passaient par le Mali, tous ces vols-là sont complètement impactés. Absolument. Autre événement politique qui impacte le transport aérien, le putsch de juillet 2023 au Niger. Depuis cette date, les avions français n'ont plus le droit de survoler ce pays qui représente un cinquième de la superficie totale de l'Afrique de l'Ouest et qui est au carrefour de plusieurs couloirs aériens. Quelles conséquences pour Air France ? Vous savez, selon la convention de Chicago, chaque État a la souveraineté complète et exclusive sur l'espace aérien au-dessus de son territoire. C'est ce qui s'est passé avec le Niger. C'est une affaire bilatérale entre le Niger et la France. La conséquence immédiate, c'est qu'aucun avion français ne peut survoler le territoire nigérien. Il faut donc passer par l'est ou par l'ouest pour pouvoir rallier des territoires au sud du Niger, sur le continent africain. Et quand on regarde une carte de l'Afrique, on voit que, pour aller par exemple de Paris à Douala ou de Paris à Kinshasa, il faut survoler le Niger, sinon il faut faire un énorme détour ? Il faut faire un énorme détour, en effet. Absolument. Autre évènement politique : la conquête de Goma par les rebelles du M23 et l'armée rwandaise. Depuis ce mois de février, la République démocratique du Congo interdit le survol de son territoire aux avions rwandais. Est-ce que la compagnie RwandAir est impactée par cette mesure ? Ah oui, elle est forcément impactée. De toute façon, le territoire de la RDC, comme vous le savez, est tellement vaste par rapport au Rwanda que la plupart des vols vers l'ouest du Rwanda devaient passer par ce territoire-là. C'est vrai que cette compagnie est totalement impactée, en effet. L'un des faits majeurs de ces deux dernières années, c'est donc la fermeture de l'espace aérien du Niger à tous les avions français. Est-ce que cette mesure très restrictive profite à d'autres compagnies ? Je ne crois pas. Quand il y a une restriction, cela ne profite à personne, ni au pays qui a restreint, ni aux compagnies. Donc, nous espérons, nous, dans notre profession, que cette affaire connaîtra un épilogue favorable dans les meilleurs délais, aussi bien en ce qui concerne le Mali et l'Algérie que le Niger, parce que cela ne profite pas du tout à l'activité. C'est une crise. Ça renchérit les coûts aussi bien pour les compagnies aériennes que pour les populations et que pour les passagers. Donc cela n'a aucun bénéfice pour personne. Mais maintenant qu'Air France et Corsair ne peuvent plus atterrir à Niamey, à Agadez ou à Zinder, il y a nécessairement d'autres compagnies qui en profitent ? Je ne crois pas. D'abord, Corsair n'y allait pas, de toute façon. C'est Air France qui allait à Niamey, tout simplement. Et de toute façon, il ne faut pas oublier que cette affaire du Niger avec la France s'accompagne aussi d'une restriction des voyages eux-mêmes, parce que les problèmes de visas se posent aussi. Je crois que les relations sont telles que les voyages vont être complètement réduits. Oui, le flux des passagers a diminué sur les vols à destination du Sahel, c'est ça ? C'est ça. Absolument.
