The U.S. Airforce is funding a project to Composite Engineering Inc. (CEI) that is going to change warfare forever, they are asking CEI to develop unmanned aircrafts that can be used in aerial attacks on regions that are not approachable by military bases. Officials have announced that this project is going to be estimated around $40.8 million and this share is going to CEI which is part of Kratos Defense & Security Solutions Inc. The Air Force is considering this to be a low cost project, in which; they are able to afford the loss of these unmanned machines during warfare. If producing these airplanes reaches a point of mass production, this can bring down the cost of each aircrafts.

On July 14th 2016, AIN Online uploaded an article written by David Donald talking about Thales and how they are launching a new UAV system at the Farnborough Airshow. The UAV, also known as the Fulmar X, has an endurance that is greater than eight hours. The Fulmar X is built solely from composites. On top of this, the Fulmar X also have an operating range of over 500 miles, or 800 km. Although these numbers are not too impressive, it is impressive due to the fact that the air vehicle a small wing span of just 10 feet or three meters.

Cebu Pacific has announced a new Airbus aircraft purchase. The two A330-300s will join Cebu Pacific’s fleet of six A330s. The purchase shows the confidence Cebu Pacific has on the passenger carrier’s reliability and performance. The airline uses this fleet for long rage flights to different destinations in the Middle East and Australia, but has also used the airplanes for flights to domestic locations.

Great Manufactures of a jetliners takes precision development, research and most importantly experience in the industry. During Airbus time in Hamburg, themselves as a company released some details on new innovative technologies planned to make the industrial line of work faster and more efficient. Innovating starting with the conceptualization to the delivery of the aircraft to customers.

The Federal Aviation Administration announced new rules to regulate commercial drones. The first of which limits most small commercial drone operations to daylight hours and require operators to get certified every two years. This is the first attempt by the GAA to regulate commercial drones and allows drone operators to operate without seeking approval.  Some of the rules that stand out are commercial drones weighing up to 55 pounds are allowed to fly during daylight hours and lower than 400 feet in the air.  The aircraft must remain within sight of the operator and the operators must be at least 16 years old and pass an aeronautics test every 24 months which get them certified by the Transportation Security Administration.

With the increasing concern revolving around the additional spending cuts as well as persistent threat of counterfeit products coming in from Diminishing Manufacturing Sources and Material Shortages, or Diminishing manufacturing sources and material shortages (DMSMS), overseas, and sustainable inventory concerns, strategies for inventory management must be dynamic enough to acknowledge and address rising problems while simultaneously upholding stringent protections on already emphasized problems found industry wide. Failing to cooperate and accommodate new approaches which are focused on dealing with new problems will inevitably lead to a weakened supply chain, program failure, as well as poor inventory management. An unstructured and unorganized inventory management system will face struggles in reacting to new problems at each individual level of the process, which may lead to constraint issues and can potentially magnify other problems such as minimal product supply or excess inventory.

A distributor is an immensely valuable resource to a manufacturer because of several key factors. First and foremost a distributor brings a detailed relevant knowledge of the market to the table. The ability to key in on the active market is something that manufacturers lack since their core competency is in making the products and not how to sell it. The second half of what a distributor brings to the table is the contacts and relationships that they have formed over the years.

In the first half of switching cycle, the circuit capacitor C1 is charged to the input voltage and in the second half of the switching cycle the voltage is then inverted and applied to a capacitor C2 and load. This leads to the input voltage to be negative of the output voltage and defined as the Duty cycle which is the ratio of charging time of a capacitor C1 to the entire switch cycle time. This is almost always because 50% is the yield of the optimal charge transfer efficiency. The capacitor C1 has to supply only a small amount of charge during the time period of transient conditions startup to the output capacitor on each switch cycle and on steady state conditions.

Airbus is introducing a brand new corporate-jet version of their popular A350 XWB airliner outfitted with their Easyfit provisions for cabins. This new aircraft will further expand Airbus’ corporate jet family by offering an aircraft that can deliver even more comfort, capacity and capabilities. Christened the ACJ350 XWB, the aircraft features 270 m2/2,910 ft2 of cabin space in the -900 version with the ultra-long variant able to fly up to 25 passengers at 10,800 nm/20,000 km or 22 hours thus making it the most modern and capable corporate jet offered on the market. XWB stands for Extra Wide-body and the ACJ350 delivers Extra of everything. Extra comfort coupled with innovative technology, efficiency and the added bonus of being extra easy to outfit.

Alud Davie released a web log post on May 18th 2016 on Corporate Jet Investor talking about the Gulfstream mode G650ER and how it has set a new record on its course from Sydney to Los Angeles. The Gulfstream G650 and G650ER have over 50 world records to its name for various types of activities. To get an idea of the time it took the Gulfstream G650ER to travel from Sydney to Los Angeles, here is what Davies wrote.
