One of the more commonly asked questions working the charter desk: Should I consider a turboprop aircraft for my next charter? Despite propeller-powered aircraft having been around for over a century, turboprop aircraft are still a relevant and viable option for charterers. In our latest article, we consider the crème de la crème of turboprop aircraft against one of the world's most chartered light jets from the Citation Family. Meet me in the comments if our article has altered your opinion on turboprop aircraft and if you'd consider one for your next chartered flight #privatejet #aviation #turboprop https://lnkd.in/e4U6TN5a

My perspective on (R)evolution: revolutionary benefit for the climate by low fuel burn, low carbon footprint (compatible with the most advanced sustainable aviation fuels), low contrail impact (compatible with zero aromatics fuels) evolutionary in the sense that no or marginal changes in the infrastructure are needed, and our customers can rely on their operational logic, while improvingtheir climate footprint step by step, in line with regulatory constraints. "evolutionary" means "realistic" to me. #SAF #climateimpact #D328eco

Pilatus, Daher, and Piper are leading the recovery of the single-engine turboprop market! With impressive growth in their fleets and significant increases in flight hours, these aircraft are proving their worth in business aviation. The upcoming certification of the Textron Denali will only strengthen this trend. Exciting times are ahead for greener and more cost-effective aviation solutions! #aviation #aerospace

This German aircraft is a two-seat high-performance aerobatic machine, which is why the picture shows it in its natural attitude! (what is attitude? How does it fly upside down?). It is powered by a fuel-injected Lycoming IO-580 that produces 315 HP. It first flew in 1988 and has been in production ever since. It is designed for +/- 10 gs with one person and +/- 8 gs with two (what is a g? Why is it important?). Its airfoil is symmetrical and is mounted at a zero angle of incidence (what does all that mean and why would it be that way?????) In our classes, we address questions like these! #introtoaero #aerobatics #symmetricalairfoils #maxgs #loadfactor #airplaneattitude #aviation #aviationhistory #aviationhistoryanddoodles

Turboprop -vs- Jet Engine: Which is the best? A client is often put-off when a turboprop is first presented as a viable option for short-haul itineraries, as a traditional jet seems to be the more glamorous option. Despite appearances, turboprops offer competitive advantages over their jet powered cousins. In our latest article, we explore the differences and those advantages that both airframes have to offer. #privatejetcharter #privateaviation #aviation https://lnkd.in/e7xBhH_3

From stabilizing the aircraft to providing directional control, the empennage plays a critical role in aviation mechanics. It consists of many different components that operate together, and in some larger aircraft the empennage may even contain the APU. #LearnTheLingo #AviationTerms #GainMomentum #Empennage #MomentumSolutions

🚁 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗘𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗻 𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗰𝗿𝗮𝗳𝘁 𝗱𝗲𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿 𝗥𝗔𝗖𝗘𝗥 𝗯𝘆 𝗔𝗶𝗿𝗯𝘂𝘀 𝗛𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗼𝗽𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗴𝗼 𝗳𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝘁𝗲𝘀𝘁𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰! 🚁 Our Institute contributed to the RACER development via coordinating Clean Sky 2 LATTE project consortium. The consortium works included designing and manufacturing of aviation composite parts. Mentioned elements aim to minimize the compound rotorcraft drag by reduction of the main rotor head drag, thanks to aerodynamically optimized shape of the fairings and implementation of innovative partial air sealing between mobile parts of the fairing. What is unique about the RACER? 🏥 From the technical point of view – the rotor head that makes possible to reduce the drag of the helicopter at the high cruise speeds. It will allow RACER to perform time-critical missions like medical evacuations or urgent inspections of power lines. 🌍 There are also environmental benefits like lowering fuel consumption (= less emissions). Additional benefits are lower noise and less mechanical stress on the tail of the helicopter. The LATTE project team has now completed its task by delivering hardware to Airbus Helicopters. It’s time to make RACER fly! More on this topic in the article below. #RACER #CleanSky2 #CleanAviation #LATTE CC: Sieć Badawcza Łukasiewicz
