  Aero Montreal supports appeal to the federal government

  Aero Montreal said it fully supports the arguments presented by the Canadian aerospace industry to the federal government and shares its concerns about the lack of support for the sector in Finance Minister Bill Morneau's recent economic update. This new snapshot makes no reference whatsoever to measures that would allow the industry to emerge from the crisis. That is why Aero Montreal is reiterating the importance of implementing a Canada-wide aerospace strategy, with specific measures dedicated to our sector, as soon as possible. By putting the aerospace industry at the heart of economic policies for more than 80 years, both in Quebec and in Canada, governments have succeeded in making aerospace an industry that contributes more than $25 billion to the country's GDP. Amidst the COVID-19 crisis, when other jurisdictions around the world are redoubling their efforts to support their aerospace industry, Quebec is supporting its “champion.” But the Canadian government is still waiting and Canada continues to fall behind on international markets. Aero Montreal is sounding the alarm on behalf of the Québec aerospace industry, which represents 49 per cent of the Canadian aerospace sector's workforce and 57 per cent of its sales. In Canada, research and development is at the heart of the aerospace industry, with an investment of $1.4 billion per year, more than 70 per cent of which is carried out in Quebec. In times of economic recovery, innovation is critical. For example, France is banking on an innovative recovery with a carbon-neutral aircraft. The United States has repeatedly demonstrated its support for the defence sector, allowing for the development of leading edge technologies that can be transferred to commercial aircraft. Canada must, without further delay, continue to invest in this strategic sector to position itself in this race for innovation. In order to succeed, our industry must be able to retain its highly-skilled workforce and prevent the ecosystem from being eroded. “The unprecedented mobilization of all players in the aerospace industry illustrates the intensity of the crisis we are experiencing. Through a collective approach, we are advocating the urgent need for a specific strategy dedicated to our sector that will accelerate the recovery, while emphasizing that this cannot be achieved without the help of the federal government,” said Suzanne M. Benoît, president of Aero Montreal. https://www.skiesmag.com/press-releases/aero-montreal-supports-appeal-to-the-federal-government/

  StartAéro 360 | Nouvelles du 07 juin 2021

  Innovation Rolls-Royce (4 juin) Rolls-Royce has commenced testing components of a hybrid-electric aircraft propulsion system at a UK facility. The tests will support development of a 2.5-megawatt power generation system. Boeing ecoDemonstrator (3 juin) Boeing will continue its” ecoDemonstrator” programme in 2021, using a 737 Max 9 to evaluate new cabin sidewalls, 3D-printed cabin air vents, noise-reducing engine nacelles and a new firefighting chemical. The aircraft will also be used to evaluate flight-control technology, atmosphere-measuring equipment, and the use of biofuel. Pangea Aerospace (2 juin) Pangea Aerospace, startup espagnole, développe un moteur entièrement fabriqué en 3D et réutilisable. Elle a récemment achevé une levée de fonds de 3 millions d'euros, et a levé plus de 6 millions d'euros de fonds depuis sa création en 2018. La startup développe un concept de tuyère aerospike fabriqué en impression 3D en métal et qui utilise des carburants cryogéniques. NASA (28 mai) NASA has launched its Sustainable Flight National Partnership to advance the development of hybrid-electric propulsion for single-aisle commercial aircraft, including building a "full-scale technology demonstrator X-plane, to test and validate integrated systems and their benefits." Spatial Canadarm3 (2 juin) The government of Canada has announced that MDA will “design, manufacture, test, and deliver robotics interfaces” so that the Canadarm3 can operate on the NASA led Lunar Gateway. This component of Canadarm3 is referred to as the Lunar Gateway External Robotics Interfaces. Association européenne des industriels de l'espace (1 juin) Selon une étude de l'association européenne des industriels de l'espace, durant les dix dernières années, la construction européenne de satellites a dégagé́ un surplus net de 640 millions de dollars par an, 300 millions pour les services de lancement et 150 millions pour les ventes d'équipements et de systèmes spatiaux. Les industriels du spatial (satellites, lanceurs, équipements) ont exporté pour 23,1 milliards de dollars au cours de la dernière décennie. US Space Force (1 juin) The Space Force plans to award contracts this year for development of next generation launch capabilities.
