Larry Chappell knows more about classic Airbus helicopters than perhaps anyone alive today. Having started with the company in 1983 — before MBB merged with Areospatiale to create Eurocopter — Larry has a remarkable amount of insight about helicopters, and how they work. In this episode, Larry will give us an overview of his extraordinary career, from flying in the the deserts of Iran to the Amazon rainforest. We'll take a look at the early history and development of the BK117, and why that specific airframe has stood the test of time. Then, later in the episode, Larry will recount a harrowing experience of his that occurred while flying in Peru…a story that — when I first heard it — shaped my outlook on safety…and may have saved my life. 

Seth Buttner has investigated over 400 accidents in a career spanning 30 years. Formerly with Cessna, Seth works today as the senior investigator for Airbus Helicopters.In this conversation, Seth will trace his career back to the start. How did a boy piecing together a model airplane in his father's office go on to work accident cases in Chile, Russia, and beyond? Also, we'll talk about the surreal nature of accident sites, what it takes to be a successful investigator, and much more. 

Trong bối cảnh địa chính trị quốc tế căng thẳng, nhất là với cuộc chiến Ukraina, các drone nay chiếm một vị trí mang tính chiến lược đối với hải quân trên toàn thế giới. Điều này đã được thể hiện qua triển lãm quốc phòng quốc tế Euronaval vào đầu tháng 11 tại Villepinte, ngoại ô Paris, Pháp. Tại cuộc triển lãm 2 năm một lần này, đi đến đâu cũng thấy trưng bày các kiểu drone mới được sử dụng để tác chiến, giám sát biển và đáy đại dương.  Các nước phương Tây đang phải đối phó với các cuộc tấn công bằng drone của lực lượng Houthi ở Yemen được Iran trang bị vũ khí nhắm vào giao thông hàng hải ở Hồng Hải. Trong khi đó, Ukraina đã thành công tiêu diệt 1/3 Hạm đội Hắc Hải của Nga và buộc được hạm đội này rời khỏi Crimea. Vào đầu tháng 11, Kiev khẳng định họ đã thực hiện thành công cuộc tấn công đầu tiên bằng drone mang chất nổ vào các tàu của Nga ở Biển Caspi, cách biên giới Ukraina đến 1.500 km. Trả lời hãng tin AFP ngày 07/11/2024 bên lề Euronaval, ông Emmanuel Chiva, tổng đại diện về vũ khí của bộ Quân lực Pháp, cho rằng từ những cuộc xung đột đó, có thể dự báo là drone sẽ được hải quân các nước “sử dụng ồ ạt”.Đô đốc Eric Chaperon, cố vấn quốc phòng của tập đoàn vũ khí Pháp Thales, nói với AFP: “Các drone phải được xem xét ở cả hai góc độ: khả năng tác chiến của drone và khả năng chống drone của kẻ địch”. Tập đoàn công nghệ cao của Pháp, hiện trang bị cho hải quân 50 nước trên thế giới, cung cấp cả hai khả năng đó. Một trong những cải tiến là vũ khí điện từ "có khả năng đốt cháy các thiết bị điện tử của drone". Đô đốc Eric Chaperon giải thích: "Các drone nằm trong tầm hoạt động của vũ khí sẽ rơi chỉ trong một giây." Tập đoàn Pháp cũng đẩy mạnh phát triển một công nghệ trí tuệ nhân tạo "tiết kiệm", có thể được trang bị trên các drone cũng như các giải pháp kết nối và tương tác, đã được thử nghiệm trong cuộc tập trận ở Bồ Đào Nha vào tháng 9 với một số nước thành viên Liên Hiệp Châu Âu. Là một trong những người tham gia cuộc tập trận này, ông Nicolas Kuhl của tập đoàn Thales nói với AFP: “Khoảng 60 drone đã được triển khai trên không, trên mặt nước và dưới biển để thực hiện đồng thời các nhiệm vụ tác chiến dưới nước, rà phá bom mìn và giám sát”. Về phần mình, tập đoàn Naval Group đang phát triển loại drone dưới nước với “khả năng hoạt động lâu dài lên đến vài tuần” và “có khả năng tự ra quyết định rất cao”, theo giải thích của ông Pierre-Antoine Fliche, đứng đầu nhóm đặc trách drone của Naval Group, với AFP: “Thay vì lập trình trước một số nhiệm vụ, chúng tôi sẽ đưa ra mệnh lệnh, chẳng hạn như đến đó, chụp ảnh và quay lại nếu ảnh chụp rõ, luôn kín đáo, quyết liệt”. Pierre-Eric Pommellet, chủ nhân Naval Group, nhấn mạnh với AFP: “Các drone sẽ không bao giờ thay thế các tàu chiến có thủy thủ đoàn, nhưng sẽ giúp cho những tàu này có một năng lực rộng hơn”. Tập đoàn chế tạo máy bay châu Âu Airbus thì chú trọng đến tính bổ sung cho các sản phẩm của họ. Bruno Even, giám đốc điều hành của Airbus Helicopters, nói với AFP: “Yếu tố mới mà chúng tôi thấy cả trên biển và trên đất liền là tính chất bổ sung giữa drone và trực thăng”. VSR 700 của Airbus là một máy bay trực thăng “không người lái” nhỏ, có thể hoạt động từ một con tàu và có thể bay tới 8 giờ so với 2 giờ đối với trực thăng thông thường. Nó có khả năng thực hiện các nhiệm vụ mà không cần phi công, chẳng hạn như tìm kiếm tàu ​​địch, gửi tọa độ tới tàu khu trục nhỏ có khả năng bắn tên lửa.Airbus cũng đang phát triển một loại drone quan sát mang tên Eurodrone, nhằm bù đắp sự chậm trễ của châu Âu về loại drone đã được Hoa Kỳ và Israel phát triển và sẽ được đưa vào sử dụng vào cuối thập niên này, theo lời ông Jean-Brice Dumont, người đứng đầu bộ phận quốc phòng của Airbus.Đối với những drone ít phức tạp hơn và có thể nhanh chóng được sử dụng như Flexrotor hay Aliaca, tập đoàn Airbus giao việc phát triển cho các doanh nghiệp vừa và nhỏ, hoặc các công ty khởi nghiệp mà hãng đã mua lại.Chẳng hạn như công ty ArkeOcéan, một doanh nghiệp gia đình với khoảng ba mươi nhân viên chuyên sản xuất các drone siêu nhỏ "chỉ dài 80cm, rộng 35cm, trôi theo dòng nước, rất khó phát hiện”.Ngoài ArkeOcéan, các doanh nghiệp vừa và nhỏ của Pháp chuyên về drone đã có mặt rất đông đảo tại triển lãm Euronaval, như Exail, Diodon và Delair. Riêng công ty Delair từ hai năm qua bán ra thị trường một sản phẩm mang tên Seasam, một loại drone dưới nước cở nhỏ, được dùng để theo dõi tình trạng thân tàu, tàu chở hàng cũng như tàu khu trục. Drone này có 7 động cơ nên rất cơ động, chống chọi tốt với dòng nước.Trả lời RFI Pháp ngữ tại Euronaval, ông Bastien Mancini, giám đốc điều hành của Delair, cho biết công ty này đã cung cấp cho thi trường châu Phi từ lâu và nay đã mở rộng sang các thị trường khác:“Chúng tôi đã có mặt ở khu vực này từ những năm 2010, tại khoảng 15-20 quốc gia châu Phi, rồi mở rộng sang Đông Âu và Đông Nam Á, những thị trường chính của chúng tôi hiện nay. Chúng tôi xuất khẩu rất nhiều trước khi bán cho thị trường Pháp. Công ty hiện sử dụng đến 110 nhân viên và đến cuối năm sẽ có tổng cộng 140 người, với doanh số năm ngoái là 10 triệu euro và dự báo năm nay sẽ đạt khoảng 30 triệu. Tốc độ tăng trưởng này là nhờ các hợp đồng mà chúng tôi giành được gần đây, nhất là trong lĩnh vực quốc phòng. Ukraina chiếm một phần đáng kể, nhưng không phải là chiếm đa số. Chúng tôi tạo được những hệ thống thích ứng với những điều kiện tác chiến rất ác liệt, với thiết bị gây nhiễu để làm rơi các drone, cho nên khách hàng chúng tôi có thể yên tâm.” Chiến trường Ukraina dĩ nhiên là nơi mà công ty Delair có dịp thử nghiệm và cải tiến các drone do họ sản xuất để thích ứng tốt hơn với điều kiện chiến tranh ác liệt, theo lời ông Mancini:“Chúng tôi đã làm việc ở Ukraina từ năm 2016, vì thật ra chiến tranh coi như đã bắt đầu từ năm 2014 với thỏa thuận Minsk. Từ năm 2016, các drone của chúng tôi đã được sử dụng để giám sát các đường biên giới. Khi quân Nga vượt qua biên giới, phía Ukraina đã gặp chúng tôi và yêu cầu cho họ xem hệ thống drone của chúng tôi vận hành như thế nào trong điều kiện chiến tranh. Sau khi thấy hiệu quả của các hệ thống này, họ đã nhờ chính phủ Pháp giúp đỡ, mua các drone đó để tặng cho họ. Pháp đã làm theo yêu cầu đó. Chúng tôi thường xuyên, hầu như là mỗi tuần, có những phản hồi từ những người vận hành các drone và chúng tôi trao đổi với họ. Cứ khoảng 3 hoặc 4 tháng, chúng tôi cải tiến để các drone thích ứng tốt hơn với điều kiện chiến tranh. Những yếu tố đó giúp rất nhiều cho ngành công nghiệp vũ khí của Pháp nói chung.” Để có thể phát triển các loại drone có sự trợ giúp của trí tuệ nhân tạo, công ty Delair đang phải tuyển thêm kỹ sư: “Chúng tôi có những kỹ sư làm việc về các vấn đề đó. Công ty có một phòng nghiên cứu quy tụ khoảng 45 người, trong đó phân nữa chuyên tạo ra các phần mềm, một số nghiên cứu về các thuật toán và về trí tuệ nhân tạo để có thể giải quyết vấn đề điều khiển drone mà không cần hệ thống định vị GPS, xác định và phân loại những vật thể mà drone nhìn thấy để trợ giúp cho người điều khiển. Không thể có một hệ thống hoàn toàn tự vận hành. Trí tuệ nhân tạo chỉ trợ giúp, chỉ làm đơn giản hóa nhiệm vụ của người điều khiển. Đó không phải là những robot, mà đằng sau bao giờ cũng có con người. Một quân nhân Ukraina đã nói một điều rất đáng chú ý : 'Cái mà có giá trị đối với chúng tôi không phải là các drone, vì drone có thể bị mất, mà là những người được đào tạo để điều khiển drone'. Đó mới là điều mà họ cố gắng bảo vệ.”Vấn đề, theo lời ông Mancini, việc phát triển các loại drone tiên tiến, có khả năng cạnh tranh cao, đòi hỏi rất nhiều vốn đầu tư, mà cả về mặt này, Pháp và châu Âu nói chung càng bị tụt hậu so với Hoa Kỳ chẳng hạn:“Phát triển các drone đòi hỏi rất nhiều vốn. Các công ty hàng đầu thế giới về drone có doanh số từ 300 triệu euro đến 4 tỷ, trong khi các công ty hàng đầu của châu Âu hiện chỉ đạt 50 triệu euro doanh số, công ty chúng tôi thì dự kiến sẽ chỉ đạt 30 triệu. Phát triển các loại drone có khả năng cạnh tranh trên thế giới tốn kém hàng triệu, thậm chí hàng chục, hàng trăm triệu euro. Cho nên phải có những công ty có tầm cỡ như vậy để tạo ra những sản phẩm cho tương lai. Tôi nghĩ rằng phải làm chủ công nghệ drone một cách tự chủ, vì đó là những robot bay trên không và tiến hành những hoạt động từ trên không. Các nhà công nghiệp Pháp và châu Âu nói chung phải làm chủ được công nghệ của các hệ thống được bán ở châu Âu. Công ty chúng tôi đang cố đóng góp vào việc xây dựng một nhà vô địch trong lĩnh vực này ở cấp độ châu Âu để có thể cạnh tranh trên thế giới.”

La reciente inauguración del HUB Logístico de Airbus Helicopters y DAHER en Albacete es un paso más dentro de la presencia del consorcio aeronaútico europeo en la capital manchega desde 2007. Pero también es la consolidación de una apuesta que ha estado en el aire. Y no solo por la condición propia de los helicópteros, sino por la falta de futuro de la planta en determinados momentos ante la escasez, cancelación e incluso ausencia de pedidos, o el cambio en la distribución de funciones en el entramado del propio consorcio industrial Airbus en Europa.Ahora, la planta y el Parque Aeronaútico y Logístico de Albacete se consolidan con esta HUB. Tras dos años de construcción el HUB está terminado, pero aun queda un año para que esté totalmente operativo y cumpla desde Albacete su función de surtir de piezas a las plantas europeas del consorcio. Escuchar audio

Les missions des forces aériennes de gendarmerie ont connu une évolution à la suite des émeutes urbaines de 2005 et à l'identification d'un besoin renforcé de surveillance en temps réel pour suivre les manifestations, qui a mené à l'intégration d'un nouveau type d'hélicoptère, l'EC135, pour ces missions de surveillance voire de filature. Aujourd'hui, les forces aériennes se préparent à développer leurs capacités avec le H160. Mais la réflexion autour de l'intégration de nouveaux moyens se poursuit et est actuellement particulièrement forte autour des drones.Le général Josse revient également sur les besoins en recrutement, qui concernent aussi bien les pilotes que les mécaniciens, les profils recherchés et les méthodes.

In der Mittagsfolge sprechen wir heute mit Fabian Riesen, CEO und Founder von Loft Dynamics, über die erfolgreich abgeschlossene Finanzierungsrunde in Höhe von 20 Millionen US-Dollar.Loft Dynamics entwickelt und produziert VR-Trainingsgeräte für Helikopterpilotinnen und -piloten. Es war das erste Unternehmen, das von der Europäischen Agentur für Flugsicherheit die Zulassung namens „EASA FTD Level 3“ für einen VR Full Motion Simulator erhalten hat. Das Startup hilft weltweit führende Flugzeughersteller, Fluggesellschaften, Luftfahrtbetreiber, Flugschulen und Ausbildungsorganisationen dabei, eine sicherere und effektivere Pilotenausbildung anzubieten. Loft Dynamics wurde im Jahr 2018 von Fabian Riesen mit dem Namen VRMotion in Zürich gegründet. Renommierte Unternehmen wie Airbus Helicopters, Air Zermatt und Mountainflyers vertrauen bereits auf die hocheffiziente, schadstofffreie und kostengünstige Pilotenausbildung.In einer ersten institutionellen Finanzierungsrunde hat das Schweizer Startup nun 20 Millionen US-Dollar unter der Führung der amerikanischen Technologie-Investoren Craft Ventures, Sky Dayton und Up Ventures eingesammelt. Die Umbenennung in Loft Dynamics wurde im selben Zug vorgenommen und soll auf die globale Expansion vorbereiten, da sich der Pilotenmangel und die Notwendigkeit zur Reduzierung der Luftverschmutzung auf dem Höhepunkt befinden. Die Finanzierung soll das Wachstum des Startups auf internationalen Märkten, insbesondere in den USA, beschleunigen.

In July I visited the Airbus Helicopters factory in Donauwörth and spent time with Antoine van Gent, the Head of Development Flight and Ground testing for Germany. We talked about the helicopter flight testing process, some of the cultural aspects, the collaboration between pilots and the flight test engineer as well as his participation in a landing of an H145 on top of the Aconcagua mountain.

La seconde partie de cet entretien avec Bruno Even est largement consacrée aux problématiques liées au secteur de la mobilité urbaine, qu'Airbus Helicopters considère comme un très beau sujet pour ses équipes.À partir de ses premiers démonstrateurs, la société en a développé un nouveau, CityAirbus NextGen, qui doit réaliser son premier vol à la fin de l'année prochaine. Si Airbus Helicopters croit en l'avenir de ce type de marché, il se montre très prudent sur le rythme de son évolution initiale en raison du nombre de défis à relever.En effet, au défi technologique s'ajoutent ceux de la création de tout l'écosystème dans lequel les taxis volants devraient évoluer (spécifications, certification, clients, infrastructures en milieu urbain) et de l'acceptabilité pour la société.Bruno Even revient également sur le parti pris de se reposer sur une motorisation électrique pour ces véhicules, imposé par les problématiques environnementales (émissions et bruit) mais qui limite le rayon d'action.

Après plusieurs années de baisse sur le marché des hélicoptères, Airbus Helicopters a plutôt bien traversé la crise sanitaire et enregistré une année solide en termes financiers et de prises de commandes, avec une performance solide sur ses deux marchés, civil et militaire.Selon Bruno Even, la reprise devrait se confirmer en 2022, d'autant que les services, l'un des axes de développement de l'hélicoptériste, se portent bien.Le président d'Airbus Helicopters évoque également les avancées sur les programmes majeurs de l'industriel : H160, modernisation du Tigre et Super Puma.

Maartje Monné is a Speech Language Pathologist, Voice Therapist & Psycho-Energetic Therapist whom I've had the pleasure of working with over the last year. If you are looking for someone who you can work with to heal trauma around your voice and expression in both the physical and energetics, this episode will give you more insight into how Maartje works and the benefits of healing your voice. In this episode we speak about: How to reconnect to your creativityThe power of connecting with your inner childHow to heal breathing problems and blocks in your voiceThe relationship between trauma and finding your voice How to connect with your inner voice How to free your expressionABOUT MAARTJE: Hi, I am Maartje Monné and founder of Voice Care & Coaching. I've been fascinated by the voice since I was little: Remember Disneys ‘The Little Mermaid' & ‘The Sound of Music', that's where it all began.... :-)I am a Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) since 2004 and have been specializing myself in voice disorders, vocal techniques for the speaking voice and singing voice and many voice related methods since then.I also studied Musical Theater (part-time) to develop my own singing, dancing, acting, and stage skills (one of the best moments and memories of my life!) and have had my own private voice practice in the Netherlands, which was a great success!And then, in 2009, I met the (French) love of my life. So I sold my practice and moved to the south of France in 2010 where I ‘restarted' my life almost from 0 (I even could hardly speak the language; which was very frustrating for someone who loves to talk a lot)!For various reasons, I started working in 2011 at Airbus Helicopters as a Key Logistic Manager and stayed there for almost 8 years. This work wasn't voice related AT ALL, but it was a very good experience though. Because, besides the French language, I have learned many other useful skills during those years!In January 2019, I left Airbus Helicopters and started my current private voice practice/company in France; Voice Care & Coaching. And since October 2020, I can call myself a Psycho-Energetic Therapist too.Today ‘voice work' is more to me than vocal care and improving someone's voice quality. It's also about making people aware that the voice is connected to our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health, which makes it also a beautiful mirror and a powerful tool to improve our overall health. In other words, my mission is to help you to improve and empower your voice, mindset and (energy) body so that you become happier, healthier and the best version of yourself!Connect with Maartje:Website: www.voicecarecoaching.comInstagram: @voice_care_coachingFacebook: Voice Care CoachingLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/maartje-monn%C3%A9-649446185/We would really appreciate if you could leave a review on Apple Podcasts.To listen to more episodes of The Creative Zone Podcast, click hereContact Tali: @talibrashFollow @thecreativezonepodcastSupport the show

To ensure accurate testing of parts, the Bowers Group has provided NMB Minebea UK Ltd with an INNOVATEST Falcon 507 Vickers, Knoop & Brinell Hardness Tester. The Falcon tester has enabled NMB Minebea to increase its PTP testing results from Class 3 to Class 1, deliver faster turnaround of samples and increase accuracy of the tests. NMB Minebea manufactures a variety of aerospace and military parts like bearings and landing gear. Producing precision-engineered products means that testing and quality assurance is key to NMB Minebea UK success. Jason Woodhouse, Laboratory Manager at NMB Minebea UK Ltd said: “Since investing in the Falcon, the accuracy of our hardness testing has improved by 60%. It’s not just accurate, it’s really simple and easy to use too.” Precise and accurate hardness measurement is of the utmost importance to performance-critical parts made using the cold form process. Hardness needs to be accurately measured to prevent fracture during the cold form process, which can result in components having to be scrapped, and also damage to the dies and tooling on machines. Jason Woodhouse continued: “We chose the Falcon 507 because it offered us all the features we needed at the right price. It was the perfect balance for us. Most people in the metallurgy lab use the hardness tester daily.” Testing for aerospace companies and their supply chains must be carried out in accordance with a Proficiency Testing Program (PTP), which refer to a series of tests established by a number of aerospace firms including Airbus, Safran, GE, MTU, GKN, Airbus Helicopters and Rolls Royce in order to qualify Laboratories around the world based on ISO:13528:2015 standard. NMB Minebea UK Ltd can now test to ASTM and British Standards on the hardness tester, validate paperwork, and export all results to Microsoft Windows. To ensure the hardness tester is as accurate as it can be it is calibrated by an external company every 6 months. NMB Minebea UK Ltd also has some dimensional metrology equipment from Bowers Group including 3 point bore gauges used for bore measurements, stick mics and thread mics.

The House FAA reauthorization bill returns to Committee, package delivery by drone in Singapore, a quadcopter crosses the English Channel, filming wildlife with drones, a drone detection system for airports, and putting UAVs on the internet. News House FAA reauthorization legislation delayed The “AIRR Act” that passed the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee on February 11 with “micro UAS” provisions has met broad opposition, largely over the topic of air traffic control privatization. As a result, the Act has returned to the Committee for revision, thus delaying action on both small and micro UAS. Airbus Helicopters and Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore Sign MoU for UAS Experimentation Project Under the Skyways Experimentation Project, Airbus and CAAS expect to conduct package delivery proof-of-concept trials in Singapore in two phases. In the first phase, Airbus will create a network of parcel stations on the campus of the National University of Singapore (NUS). Phase two would test package delivery from a station on the Singapore coast to ships anchored in the bay. Drone makes historic 72-minute flight across English Channel UK commercial drone operator Ocuair™ has successfully flown a quadcopter across the English Channel. The customized Enduro quadcopter flew 35 km (21.7 miles) in 72 minutes, with an operator staying within 500 meters in a chase boat. Along the way, the drone encountered a GPS guidance problem, requiring manual guidance for the last part of the flight. Making Aviation History - The First Quadcopter Drone to Fly Across the English Channel http://youtu.be/VVBv22YKRiQ Attenborough calls in the drones for his new series: Broadcaster will use technology to capture elusive and dangerous animals For his new six-part Planet Earth II series, Sir David Attenborough has used ultra-high-definition and ultra-high-speed cameras mounted on drones to capture dramatic footage of dangerous and elusive animals. Anti-drone system for airports passes tests As reported in Episode 117, the FAA entered into a Pathfinder agreement with CACI International Inc. to evaluate using the company's sensor technology to detect rogue UAS in the vicinity of airports. Now the CACI proof-of-concept system has been tested at the Atlantic City International Airport. The SkyTracker™ system uses radio frequency sensors positioned around an airport which detect frequencies typically used by unmanned aircraft. Then it triangulates the signals to provide the location of the UAS and its operator. FAA press release: FAA, DHS, CACI, UMD Perform UAS Detection Work. AT&T and Intel to Test Drones on LTE Network AT&T and Intel are working to understand how drones could be connected via a ground-based network. Intel will partner with the AT&T Internet of Things (IoT) team, and the AT&T Foundry innovation center in Palo Alto, California.
