Rheinmetall takes over maintenance of German Air Force’s CH-53G transport helicopter at Diepholz Air Base
December 9, 2020 - Rheinmetall has won an order from the German Bundeswehr to inspect, maintain and repair Sikorsky CH-53G transport helicopters. Starting in March 2021, the Düsseldorf-based Group will be operating two maintenance and repair bays belonging to the German Air Force's 64th Helicopter Squadron at Diepholz in Lower Saxony. Worth a figure in the lower two-digit million-euro range, the contract with Rheinmetall Aviation Services GmbH runs for five years, with an option for a one-year extension. In Diepholz, the 64th Helicopter Squadron is responsible for larger maintenance operations in a separate remote squadron, with a total of five Bundeswehr-owned maintenance and repair bays for the CH-53G – an aircraft that has been operated in the Bundeswehr since 1972. An integrated high-tech enterprise dedicated to security and mobility, Rheinmetall's proposal won the tender, so that its subsidiary Rheinmetall Aviation Services GmbH (RAS) will soon be in charge of maintaining and repairing Bundeswehr helicopters in Diepholz. RAS will draw on organizational and aeronautical regulatory support from its sister company Rheinmetall Technical Publications GmbH, an approved aeronautical company located at Bremen Airport. About Rheinmetall Aviation Services: Rheinmetall Aviation Services GmbH, which is also based in Bremen, was founded at the beginning of 2019 as part of the Group's strategic cooperation with Sikorsky in the Heavy Transport Helicopter (STH) procurement programme, with responsibility for maintenance, repairs, training and documentation. Rheinmetall and Sikorsky have been cooperating together intensively in various procurement projects since 2009. Thanks to the new order, expertise gained through this partnership will now be profitably put to work on behalf of the Bundeswehr in Diepholz. Looking ahead, the Bundeswehr also stands to benefit in the long term from the partnership between Rheinmetall and Sikorsky in the STH procurement programme, coupled with experience accumulated at Diepholz Air Base.

Simulation Software to Solve Certification Challenges in Additive Manufacturing
Lindsay Bjerregaard | MRO Network Vextec is hoping to solve the challenges of certification in additive manufacturing (AM) with its predictive VPS-MICRO software for metallic component durability. According to the company, the software—which models component properties to provide a realistic look at fatigue durability and performance—is gaining traction in AM. “A lot of times the MRO industry deals with needing to build one-off parts or items from OEMs that are no longer functioning. It can be troublesome ... http://aviationweek.com/program-management-corner/simulation-software-solve-certification-challenges-additive-manufacturing

AIRBUS HELICOPTERS ET LA DGA SÉLECTIONNENT LA NOUVELLE SUITE AVIONIQUE FLYTX DE THALES POUR LEURS PROGRAMMES HÉLICOPTÈRES DE DERNIÈRE GÉNÉRATION
La suite avionique FlytX a été sélectionnée par Airbus Helicopters et la Direction générale de l'armement (DGA) pour équiper les futurs Hélicoptères Interarmées Légers (HIL) H160M. En parallèle, Airbus Helicopters et Thales poursuivent des études pour la potentielle intégration de FlytX sur le futur Tigre MKIII. Conçu à Bordeaux, ce cockpit facilite le pilotage gr'ce aux technologies les plus récentes en matière d'affichage. FlytX s'appuie sur des interfaces homme-machines tactiles, directes et naturelles. La charge de travail est ainsi réduite permettant aux pilotes de se concentrer sur leurs missions avec un niveau de sécurité optimal. Les hélicoptères militaires ont à assurer des missions de reconnaissance, d'appui feu, de surveillance ou de sauvetage dans un environnement de plus en plus saturé. Les pilotes doivent pouvoir observer leurs ennemis, esquiver les obstacles et réussir leurs missions tout en assurant le pilotage et en vérifiant les informations transmises par le système de bord. Entièrement tourné vers la mission, FlytX a été développé afin d'offrir une efficacité maximale. La technologie mise en œuvre dans la solution FlytX permet de réduire la charge de travail des pilotes afin qu'à chaque moment décisif, ils puissent se concentrer sur la réussite de leurs missions. Gr'ce à l'expertise de Thales dans le domaine de l'avionique, la solution offre une efficacité maximale en termes d'interaction hommes-machine. Ce cockpit permet un accès plus rapide aux informations associé à une représentation synthétique de l'environnement extérieur. Dotée d'une large zone d'affichage, cette avionique facilite l'interaction des équipages, englobant tous les systèmes avions, fusionnant les informations et rend ainsi les prises de décisions plus instinctives. Personnalisable et évolutif, ce cockpit du futur peut parfaitement s'adapter aux besoins spécifiques des équipages et de leurs missions. Entièrement connecté, FlytX est interfaçable, en vol et au sol, avec des applications du monde ouvert dans un environnement cybersécurisé. Les exploitants pourront ainsi accéder, dans un cadre entièrement sécurisé, à leurs propres systèmes et les faire évoluer librement. Conçu sur le Campus de Bordeaux, où Thales développe et produit des systèmes avioniques et aéroportés à la pointe de l'innovation mondiale, il regroupe sur plus de 60 000 m² 2 800 collaborateurs dont 80% d'ingénieurs et cadres. https://www.thalesgroup.com/fr/group/press-release/airbus-helicopters-et-dga-selectionnent-nouvelle-suite-avionique-flytx-thales
