H1: How was a 100% Mexican airplane produced?



From Falcon 1 (H1) you can talk in different ways: seen as an aeronautical product, it is a lightweight sport aircraft (LSA by its acronym in English) manufactured by HorizonTec, a Mexican company established in 2013 and dedicated to the design and development of sports and experimental aircraft, and of which Giovanni Angelucci Carrasco is its founding partner.

In terms of materials and design, the H1 is an aircraft whose fuselage is composed of a combination of wood, fiberglass and epoxy resins. It has a length of 6.1 meters and a height of 2.3 meters, capacity for two people and its engine uses gasoline instead of turbosina, with sufficient power and performance to achieve a range of 2 thousand kilometers.

On his purpose, Felipe Rubio, director of the National Center for Aeronautical Technologies (Centa), said for A21 that this equipment is ideal for flight training as well as to develop aeronautical tourism, since it can be used for recreational flights in various Mexican aerodromes that could be visited with this type of aircraft, which do not need long tracks in addition to being safe and easy to handle.

But in historical terms, and in the words of the engineer Federico Pérez Fuentes, secretary of Planning and Bonding, Universidad Aeronáutica en Querétaro (UNAQ), is the first of a series of projects in almost eighty years, which has seriously proposed returning to the Mexican aeronautics to the heights of where it never had to descend: "around 1930 we designed and made Mexican planes. This was stopped doing in 1940, "he said.

Airplane of the Bajío

Based in Querétaro, the Centa was the incubator where the H1 project managed to draw on the technology and technical advice to become what it is now: a 100% Mexican airplane, although many believe, by the same statements of the governor, that it was built in Guanajuato.

"The history of the project begins when the plane begins to be built in the garage of a house of the family of Giovanni (Angelucci), in Mexico City. Later two partners from Guanajuato are associated with HorizonTec and that is when they start looking for opportunities. After talking to the governor (Sinhue Rodríguez), the new administration gives them support and gives them the space to position a plant. After that fact, I have the opportunity to talk with Giovanni and invite him to move to the Centa, so that the construction of the aircraft is completed, which is why it is improperly announced that the plane is made in Guanajuato ", Felipe Rubio related.

The firm Ik Aerospace presented the first aircraft manufactured in Guanajuato: "Hawk 1" license plate XB-PMZ. A lightweight two-seater single-engine airplane measuring 6.1m long and 2.3m high; made with composite wood with fiberglass and epoxy resins


It is worth mentioning that in 2015, the project received financing for its first version from the Technological Innovation Fund of the Ministry of Economy, the National Institute of the Entrepreneur and Conacyt. It has also had support from educational institutions such as the UNAQ and the National Polytechnic Institute.

Once in the Centa, the infrastructure and capacity available there provided HorizonTec with all the necessary technical and analytical support, particularly for the fluid mechanics of the structure. It also allowed him to use laboratories, test equipment, physical-chemical analysis and the entire technological context to support an innovative design.

Thus, on September 1, 2017, the first test flight of H1 took place.

Amen of the technological aspect, among the biggest challenges of the H1 were the official procedures, because it had to remove the licenses granted by the General Directorate of Civil Aeronautics (DGAC) for the pilot airplane certification, which took a long time to be a new process for Mexico.

"It is a very appropriate aircraft for training schools, it brings a very efficient engine and it is more economical in the use of fuel. It is a process that starts and that will be consummated in stages, "said the Centa director.

He added that while the HorizonTec plant in Guanajuato is being completed, which is expected to start operations in 2019, the Centa will continue to support the company with both the H1 and future versions.

Thus, we can see that the different facets of the project have taken him from one place to another and to the common comparisons with military aircraft and training initiatives, such as the Pegasus PE-210A of Oaxaca Aerospace or the Azteca A01-1 Project of the Army.
However, and no matter who was the first, the H1 is about to revive the Mexican history of aircraft manufacturing to be a product made by Mexican hands and to be offered for sale at a very competitive price.

"We are talking about small planes, for two people and for training, for surveillance; We have to start in Mexico to develop this technology and be 100% Mexican aircraft, "said the UNAQ official.

Finally, the director of the Centa anticipated that H2 is already under development -also conceived in the capital of Queretaro-, and that it could have capacity for 4 people and serve as a private transport plane.

"The Centa has worked from the beginning with a view to supporting this aeronautical industry: today is the time for the aeronautical sector to stop being a series of isolated projects and become a national strategy," said Felipe Rubio. https://a21.com.mx/innovacion/2019/01/20/h1-como-se-produjo-un-avion-100-mexicano

Negotiate to export pampa III to Mexico
APRIL 2019

Conversations also with Ecuador and Peru in the 3rd edition of the Mexico Aerospace Fair 2019. By Edgardo Aguilera


"Do not promise, specify and then communicate the results." It is the decision taken by the direction of the Argentine Aircraft Factory (FAdeA) in relation to the sale of Pampa III to the foreign military market. Antonio Beltramone, president of the state-owned aeronautical company, together with Fernando Sibilla, responsible for New Businesses, explored regional clients at the Mexico Aerospace Fair 2019 (FAMEX) that takes place during the days - he said yesterday - at the Santa Lucía Mexican Air Base.

The Air Force of the country is the organizer of the exhibition, and the military delegations of Ecuador and Peru become the most interested in the capabilities of FAdeA's flagship product: coach IA-63 Pampa III. With three aircraft of the series delivered to the Argentine Air Force and others to the production line, the team that manages the Pampa program head, Federico Bima Kronemann, now points to a set of five more devices, a cyclopean effort for the accounts of the Government. The Cordoba factory has several negotiation models to place the Pampa III, sale with logistic support and maintenance, sale with co-production, cofabrication of sets and even leasing operations (payment per hour); a format that gained space in the niche of training in the air forces of developed countries.

The Creole business delegation has a meeting with the president of the family, Brigadier General Rodolfo Rodríguez Quezada. The Mexican Army was a speaker at the International Congress of the Aeronautics, Defense and Space Industries that was held in Córdoba in 2018. They converted the need for an official program from the Argentine Ministry of Defense to invite them to test the plane and travel the facilities of FAdeA, one more step towards the objective of adding strengths and reaching a type of aeronautical complementation agreement between both nations. The coproduction could include in the interest of the parties, an asset that is held in the account is the Pampa power plant is manufactured in the Honeywell Aerospace facilities of Chihuahua, Mexico. The eventual technical cooperation between the Mexican Air Force and the Cordoba firm in the production of the Pampa is one more of the evaluations that were made. -fifty.

Two shipments of the national aeronautics, brigadiers Gustavo Testoni, deputy chief of the force and Roberto Andreasen, deputy chief of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, made up the Creole delegation. They messed up with some unfavorable comments about Pampa's production that fortunately is outside the conversations with foreign representatives.

The potential of pampa III interests you for two reasons, it is an airplane that meets the training standards. The factory from Cordoba studied the installation of a multifunction radar with air combat capabilities, ground attack and naval objectives. FAAA has an opportunity to focus on the place of the advanced trainer and to leverage local SMEs. All with a view to reaching economic balance this year. More clearly, that the taxpayer does not put more weight in his pocket to sustain the operation of the company.

In the third edition of the international business meeting of the aeronautical sector that will be carried out by the Secretariat of National Defense of Mexico, there will be more than 600 signatures from the global aviation and space industry, including Boeing, Airbus, Safran, Thales , Bell Helicopter, Defense Technology Team (DTE), CATIC, Embraer and Rosoboronexport. Argentina was present in a stand shared by public companies; FAdeA, Invap and private, Creole SMEs of high industrial complexity nucleated in the Argentinean Aeronautics and Space Chamber (CArAE).

Buy Argentine Law and the Supplier Development Program. This is the key to the development of the industry. 20% of the total value of the contract. Spokesmen

Argentina will pay Bolivia with a Pampa III aircraft if it sells more gas than agreed

CORDOVA. At today's meeting of Mauricio Macri with his partner Evo Morales, the offer to deliver an IA 63 Pampa III aircraft will be closed in exchange for Bolivia not reducing the volume of gas imported by Argentina in the months of greatest demand (May to September). In February, both countries signed an addendum to the current contract until 2026 and a different pricing and quantity scheme was established, with more seasonality in deliveries for this year and next. Argentina will save US $ 460 million in that period.

The agreement involves the delivery of a Pampa III airplane manufactured in Fadea in the event of an over-performance of the contract in 45 million cubic meters during the five months of greatest demand.

The price of the plane is in the range of US $ 12 million and, according to sources confirmed by Fadea to LA NACION, it is in a position to deliver it within a "reasonable" time frame. Today in Córdoba there are three in production for the Argentine Air Force and a fourth in conditions to be completed in the short term.

Chihuahua has 25% of aeronautical plants
They operate with 98 percent of engineers born in the state

Samara Martínez and Adriana Saucedo / Photographs: Alberto Hierro

Chihuahua, Chih.- Chihuahua has established itself as one of the largest in the aviation industry nationwide, since with 25% of aerospace plants in the country, the state serves as a national example, as the capital is within the First ten cities worldwide in strategy of attraction of investments and competitiveness of costs in the field, as explained by the Intelligence Unit of the British newspaper Financial Times.

The aeronautical industry of Chihuahua has an exponential growth, because despite its youth it has achieved, in less than a decade, to position a competitive and quality structure worldwide, according to Luis Lizcano, general director of the Mexican Federation. of the Aerospace Industry (Femia).


In the global scheme, Mexico is ranked number 12 in exports worldwide, developing in the country all areas of an aircraft, from landing gear, turbines and interiors, to structures and maintenance, taking into account that of the 300 industrial facilities that are in the country, most are located in the states of Baja California, Sonora, Nuevo Leon, Queretaro and Chihuahua.


According to Tania Espinoza, from the Chihuahua Aircraft Cluster, the state currently has 40 operations, which generates a large number of jobs for Chihuahua, as the president of the Aerospace Cluster, René Espinoza, says that 98% of its engineers are local.

In Chihuahua, the Aerospace Cluster has generated more than 17 thousand jobs since 2008, and currently exports more than 1,500 million dollars annually. In addition, the state ranks second in cumulative foreign investment from 2013 to 2018, which was 331 million dollars.


One of the aerospace companies in the state is Fokker / GKN Aerospace, which is a success story of the Chihuahua industry, since it manufactures aerospace parts from Gulfstream, Cessna, Airbus, Dassault, Boeing aircraft and exports to the United States, Canada and some countries. of Europe. Currently, Fokker Chihuahua has about 150 employees and contemplates the construction of a new plant in the city for the following year.

Another great operation where turbine components are manufactured is Honeywell Aerospace, with more than 1,140 machines and equipment installed. Likewise, Bell Helicopter, assembles 60 percent of the Bell 407 and 429 helicopters and the companies Cessna and Beechcraft, known today as Textron Aviation, assemble a large part of the fuselage of its various aircraft models.


On the other hand, last February the National Council of Science and Technology (Conacyt) invested 143.5 million pesos for the creation of seven specialized laboratories for the aerospace industry, of which one will be in Chihuahua in charge of the Chihuahuan company HT -MX


The education sector is another reason why the state excels in the aeronautical industry, since four international quality universities are located in the territory, offering careers focused on preparing professionals in the aeronautical industry with different job profiles, from the mechanics to interior design and airport management.

During the last years, Chihuahua students have stood out, representing Mexico in international competitions, demonstrating their skills to students from universities in India, the United States, Canada and the United Arab Emirates. In addition, the Innovation Park of Universidad La Salle Chihuahua maintains a collaboration with the company Soisa Aircraft Interiors, dedicated to the design and manufacture of interiors, with which the Ergonomic Simulation Laboratory was created to evaluate the comfort of the passenger when using the cushions of aircraft, designed and manufactured by the company Soisa.

Ribeirão Preto, April 29, 2019 - Embraer participates in Agrishow 2019 with a series of solutions for Brazilian agribusiness, reaffirming its commitment to contribute to the development of a more efficient agricultural production in the country. The Ipanema, a leader in the segment in Brazil, technology integration services for field optimization and the Executive Legacy 500 jet, an important business tool for the sector, are highlights of the Company's participation this year.

Ipanema, powered by renewable energy (ethanol), guarantees more agility, efficiency and productivity, as well as lower costs in relation to aviation fuel. With 60% market share, the aircraft recently reached the mark of 1,400 units sold.

613997

"The role of agribusiness in the national economy has a positive impact on other sectors, such as the aeronautics industry. Throughout its history, Embraer has been present in this sector with high technology products, strengthening precision agriculture. Embraer has been a leader in the agricultural aviation market for decades and recently strengthened its commitment to the industry through the launch of Ipanema 203, "says Alexandre Solis, director of the Embraer Production Unit in Botucatu, where the aircraft is manufactured.

Used mainly in the spraying of fertilizers and agricultural pesticides, Ipanema avoids losses by kneading the crop and makes operations in regions with uneven terrain flexible. The aircraft also has application in sowing activities, vector and larval control, fire fighting and river settlement.

The current Ipanema model, launched in 2015, has a wing span of 13,30 meters and hooper (a compartment where the agricultural components are stored) with a capacity of 1,050 liters in volume. The new technologies allow spraying with sub - metric precision thanks to the implementation of laser altimeter, flow control and automatic opening and closing of the spray nozzles using the differential GPS - DGPS system. The winglets were redesigned, increasing control and improving spray efficiency, reaching a range of up to 24 meters with excellent deposition quality.

The aircraft has a new air-conditioning system, seatbelt with airbag and higher cabin, with new ergonomic concept. The control levers and pedals have also been modified, with softer angles, which allow for even more precise controls.

Mexico / 13.05.2019 16:17:11
The company Delastek announced the start of a second stage of construction of its plant installed in the Parque Industrial Advance Querétaro, which is expected to increase economic growth and aeronautical development in the state.

Operations in Querétaro began in 2016 with an investment of 5 million dollars, and generated an estimated 50 new jobs in the industry.

The Canadian firm said in a statement that it plans a new investment of 3 million dollars by 2019, which will give it the opportunity to offer more jobs and work with the vision of increasing sales for the Mexican market in the aerospace industry.

For its new stage, Delastek announced the purchase of an autoclave and automated seven-axis robots to make composite materials and the acquisition of two CNC 4 axes to make the machining of aluminum parts, which will increase their current production and continue to serve clients like Bombardier.

During the visit of Governor Francisco Domínguez Servién to Canadian lands last March, the new stage of the project materialized and stressed that the expansion of Deslastek will mean a significant increase in the number of workers related to the production of aircraft cabins in Querétaro .

"It is a pleasure to come to Shawinigan (Canada) and to note the great confidence that Delastek has towards Querétaro," the governor said.

In the last five years, the aerospace sector has led the economic development of the State, with an average growth of 17 percent per year.

According to the Secretariat of Sustainable Development of the State of Querétaro, the aerospace industry registers the highest growth of the sector in the country, thanks to factors such as education, the development of local suppliers, joint ventures and the promotion of innovation and development. technological.

Delastek, which since 1984 has been dedicated to the production of cabins for aircraft, composite materials, aluminum and plastics, now opens a new opportunity for Querétaro to continue increasing its competitive advantage in this sector nationwide.

Hypersonic Vehicles

The Brazilian hypersonic airplane project continues on schedule.

If there are no setbacks, the Brazilian Air Force will conduct the first flight test within two years. This test will involve the test of the first hypersonic aeronautical engine made in the country.

The test integrates a broader project whose aim is to dominate the development cycle of hypersonic vehicles, which fly at least five times the speed of sound, or Mach 5 - Mach is a unit of velocity measurement corresponding to about 1,200 kilometers per hour (km / h).

The program is coordinated by the Institute of Advanced Studies (IEAv), one of the research centers of the Department of Aerospace Science and Technology (DCTA) of FAB, in partnership with Orbital Engenharia, both of São José dos Campos (SP).

The Institute of Advanced Studies (IEAv), unit of the Brazilian Air Force (FAB) in São José dos Campos (SP), received the documentation of the SCRamjet 14-X S Technological Demonstrator Detailed Project, delivered by Orbital. This is the final contractual phase of the project, which aims to develop an aspirated hypersonic engine - that is, capable of making vehicles fly at more than 6,000 km / h, using atmospheric oxygen itself to burn fuel.

The SCRamjet (Supersonic Combustion Ramjet) is the name given to the engine, whose technology has advantages such as payload space gain, total takeoff weight reduction and the amount of fuel required for operation.

This month, the contracted company is holding a series of meetings with experts from the IEAv itself, the Institute of Aeronautics and Space (IAE), the Alcântara Launch Center (CLA), the Institute of Industrial Development and Coordination (IFI) and the Department of Aerospace Science and Technology (DCTA), to review the detailed design, evaluating and ratifying the existing information.



"Finally, we are about to say that we have reached the expected state, as projected, of all subsystems of the Scramjet 14-XS demonstrator, which will still be revised, so that we can begin manufacturing, qualification and integration, which will take place this year 2019, "comments project manager 14-X, Israel Rêgo.

For the IEAv Director, Colonel Aviador Lester de Abreu Faria, the 14-X project, named in honor of the centennial in 2016, of the first 14-Bis flight, will put Brazil in a select group of countries. "We are getting closer and closer to breaking this technological barrier of hypersonic propulsion, which today is a differential in the world.

With the passing of this stage, Brazil is among the largest and most developed world powers, demonstrating that the domain of high technology and disruptive technologies are part of our capabilities and skills, "said the official.

In 2020, the FAB will conduct the first in-flight test to demonstrate and operationalize the aspirated hypersonic propulsion technology, which will have both civilian and military applications.

Once the takeover by Boeing is enforced, the commercial division of Embraer will be renamed Boeing Brasil – Commercial.

This will conclude the sale of an 80% stake in Embraer commercial aviation activities, including aftermarket support services, to Boeing for $4.2 billion. The transaction should be approved by competition authorities by the end of the year.

While the historical name of the Brazilian company should disappear, Boeing has not yet announced if their newly acquired catalog would also see some transformations. Currently, all aircraft bear the name Embraer followed by a code (from E170 to E195-E2).

Following the similar acquisition by Airbus of the Bombardier’s CSeries division, the European manufacturer renamed the family “A220” in order to fit more with the rest of their catalog.

The Brazilian planemaker intends to keep its defense and executive jet business units and associated services operations. However, the two manufacturers since agreed on a second joint venture in which Embraer should hold a 51% and Boeing the remaining 49%. This other company should continue developing the KC-390 tactical transport and inflight refueling aircraft. The first KC-390 is due to be delivered to Portugal during the Paris Air Show.

Embraer is the abbreviation of Empresa Brasileira de Aeronáutica or Brazilian aeronautics company. Its foundation dates back to 1969 as a state-owned corporation prior to its privatization in 1994.
