One question for you, given the scale of the anti-narco operations throught most of the South American countries (especially Mexico, Colombia, Brazil), do you see any interesting developments in drone tech development.
Drones are used in Police and Military operations, in Mexico there are Narco groups even using drones in the same way of the ukraine-russian war

this video tells how the Narco groups attack their enemies with granades and Drones in Mexico

Norman Sidney is a specialist in flying objects on the California border. After several attacks in Michoacán in the past ten years, it is believed that the war between cartels is breaking out in the air.


Narcos ask experts to use more powerful drones to traffic drugs in the USA

National Guard prepares flotilla of aerial and aquatic drones to confront 'narco'


Violence is on the rise at the southern border with multiple incidents including infighting among drug cartels and a "mass grave" holding 18 bodies was recently discovered.

MEXICO – Mexico's aerospace industry has recovered satisfactorily, after a fall during the pandemic, said Luis Lizcano, director of the Mexican Federation of the Aerospace Industry (FEMIA).

The executive explained that this is not a new process; Mexico has been gaining an important place in the global aerospace supply chain for 15 to 20 years.

"Years ago our country became known for the production of harnesses, but today we do that and more, few people know that here in Mexico we make the entire set of doors for the Dreamliner 787, as well as very important parts of the landing gear of Airbus aircraft.

"Mexico manufactures complete models of Beechcraft's King Air, Baron and Bonanza aircraft; the only thing that is done in the United States is the engine assembly for certification reasons, but they are practically completely manufactured here," he said.


In the past, Mexico's aerospace industry was almost 100% foreign-owned companies, but today approximately 38% of the companies are nationally owned.

The executive added that companies that handle avionics also stand out, especially in the northern and northwestern part of the country, in Baja California, Sonora and Chihuahua.

"Mexico is producing parts for SpaceX's Raptor rocket engines, and the movement is still forward, we are not talking about a little screw or a little cable," stated FEMIA's director.
Production of Special and Aerospace Steels
In order to develop special steel and aerospace products, Frisa will invest 200 million dollars (mdd) with the intention of increasing its production processes in its plants located in García and Santa Catarina in Nuevo León.

Eduardo Garza T. Junco, president of Frisa, declared that this new injection of capital is to be able to take advantage of the growth that is taking place in North America in these industries, so these resources will be used to increase the capacity of the forging factories and aerospace.

“We are taking advantage of the growth we are seeing in the North American region and we are going to increase production in the aeronautical sector and develop markets for special export steels.”

Expansion in Special Steels and Strategic Relationship with Space
Currently, Frisa stands out in the market for being a direct supplier to Elon Musk's American company Space X. It should be noted that the commercial relationship began technically in a process that took a year and a half, but today it is the main supplier of products for engines that go under the launch rocket.


“Every time there is a Space X launch there is a product made in Santa Catarina,” he emphasized.

The Mexican company Altaser Aerospace, from the State of Chihuahua, stands out in the aerospace sector for its capacity to manufacture aircraft parts. With TechBA, he developed a global network of allies and consultants, identified strengths and business possibilities. He received consulting from the TechBA network in the United States with the aim of facilitating his presence in that country.
The manufacturing of aircraft parts is Altaser Aerospace's specialty, particularly machined parts for the fixed and mobile zones of the turbine.
Altaser Aerospace has the AS9100 Rev.C, MLA Manufacturing License Agreement, Honeywell Aerospace 2012, Manoire Aerospace 2013, Fokker Aerostructures 2014, General Electric Aviation S-1000 2014 certifications and operates under the IMMEX scheme of the Maquilador Program.



Dart Aerospace started its operations in Chihuahua, where it invested 3.6 million dollars to build a factory where they will produce flotation equipment, as well as parts and components for airplanes and helicopters.
The plant covers a space of 70 thousand square feet (21,336 square meters) and will generate, in the first stage, 107 jobs.
In this rega
rd, Dart Aerospace operations manager Eric Guernard said that this is the company's first plant in the country and that, after the investment announcement in February of last year, the work was completed in September and testing began. . of production in the month of October.
“Three months after starting production, we can say with complete confidence that our new manufacturing center is operating as expected, Chihuahua and our highly-staffed employees are our great allies,” he stated.
Dart Aerospace is a Canadian company dedicated to the manufacturing of parts, components and equipment for airplanes and helicopters, focused on offering design, manufacturing and market certification solutions for the aerospace industry in general.
In March of last year, Dart Aerospace began construction of its new plant in the Chihuahua Sur Industrial Park.

The production plant was installed in the Chihuahua Sur Industrial Park.


The Secretary of Innovation and Economic Development of Chihuahua, Alejandra de la Vega, highlighted that the state has a broad aerospace vocation, as it was one of the first states in the country where an operation of this type was installed.
More than 45 companies in the aerospace industry coexist in Chihuahua and employ more than 17 thousand people.
“What is done in Chihuahua is unique, we are very happy for Dart and for Chihuahua, but above all for its staff who, just as we worked together to be here today, we will continue working to make their operation successful,” she said.

Discover the brazilian TR 5000 N project, an aviation jet engine developed by ITA and IAE in partnership with TGM Aeroespacial and supported by FINEP.

1720129271792.png
Under Direct Interadministrative Contracting No. 38-0176-CDI22, the Argentine Navy and the INVAP company agreed to the construction of a naval air and surface surveillance radar, based on active electronic vertical scanning (AESA) technology, to increase and improve the operational capacity of the MEKO class surface units that currently make up the fleet of the Argentine Navy. The development of the pre-series radar will require an investment of U$D 14,345,000 dollars (fourteen million three hundred and forty-five thousand).

airborne POD for intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance missions that would be intended for the IA-58 Fenix but also because the pod is interchangeable it could be used on other aircraft.
The pod will have a set of systems such as an active antenna with AESA or active electronic scanning capability and EO/IR or elect optical and infrared sensors.
The ISR capacity of this pod will make the Puca in its "Fénix" model an aircraft capable of patrolling symmetrical confrontations against radars, communications equipment or anti-aircraft installations.
It will also have a broadband data link to transmit the information obtained in real time to a control center

Unmanned Systems Technology International designs and develops unmanned aerial vehicles. Product includes MX1- a fixed-wing UAV with an endurance of upto 7 hours. Applications are in the areas of oil, agriculture, electric, railway, scientific research and telecommunication. Also provides customized UAV solutions for clients. The company claims to be the only Mexican company that has received a certificate from the US Department for the import and use of aerospace grade carbon fibre.

On March 19, with much fanfare, Jaime Rodríguez, the governor of the State of Nuevo León, announced the delivery of an Unmanned Aircraft with cutting-edge technology to combat crime to the Civil Force State Police.



The cost: 54 million pesos (or well-invested taxes, according to the governor himself).

The technical characteristics: impossible to give, since they are a security issue, according to the state Secretary of Public Security.

The justification of the cost: “…it is intelligence and intelligence costs a lot…they are very expensive, they are specially manufactured and are not made in Mexico,” specified Aldo Fasci.


However, and despite the opacity of the officials, the information about this 'drone' is not as secret as it may seem, since EstadoMayor.mx carried out a very complete report on the unmanned aircraft, which was presented during FAMEX in the now distant 2017.


So, for the pleasure of our readers, here we answer the questions that the 'Bronco' and his Secretary of Public Security have refused to answer:

About its cost: The government of Nuevo León reports a cost of 54 million pesos. Unmanned Systems Technology International (the company responsible for the creation and manufacturing of the 'drone') indicated at the time that the price per aircraft was around $2 million.

Regarding its origin: The Secretary of Public Security of Nuevo León was very emphatic when saying that this technology was not available in Mexico. Unmanned Systems Technology International (USTI) is a 100% Mexican company and the UAV-MX1 is a drone whose concept, design, prototyping, production and flight testing are also 100% Mexican, ergo, the technology IS available in our country .

Regarding its technical characteristics: They are not a matter of security and are quite public, in fact USTI gave EstadoMayor.mx a brochure in which all the components of the UAV-MX1 were broken down, as listed below:


Engine: 150cc
Autonomy: Up to 7 hours.
Cruise speed: 110 km/h or 59 kt
Radio communication: From 15 to 100 km
Navigation: Autonomous and Remote Pilot.
Video radio link: In real time.
Communication: Redundant.
Fuel: Premium Gasoline
Optional communications relay.
Dimensions: 6m x 3m with a weight of between 80 and 90 kg
Control system: Two-way communication system, capable of transmitting information on the ground to different locations and making route changes in mid-flight.
Manufacturing: Highest quality components available on the market. Certified under Nadcap AS9100.
Telemetry: Advanced monitoring system for all vehicle sensors to ensure their correct functioning and timely detection of faults.
If for some reason you were unable to watch the report published two years ago and want to know more about this 'drone', we leave you the video and the interview with its creators.

The Brazilian plane is an adaptation of a French model from the 1980s. The current version has already undergone several improvements in relation to the original project, both in design and in the advancement of materials used, such as carbon fiber. The Brazilian aircraft is certified by the FAA, the United States aviation authority, and has already been sold in several European countries, as well as Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Last year, a French couple embarked on a trip around the world aboard a Super Petrel LS produced in Brazil...

Learn to fly a helicopter from the best. Come to Scoda Aeronáutica.
SUPER PETREL LSA biplane, sesquiplane, staggerwing configuration, in addition to being strong and charming, provides the Super Petrel LS amphibious with highly positive flight characteristics, such as: smooth stall, excellent stability and comfort in turbulent atmospheres, firm and brief takeoff without the need for flaps and, above all, an unparalleled landing behavior. This configuration allows you to dive into the final stretch without losing speed, stabilize on the runway by placing the seaplane in the landing attitude and wait for it to sink for a smooth and precise touchdown. And to help, the small lateral area of the rear fuselage means that crosswinds have very little influence on the ultralight's landing. The Super Petrel LS is firm and precise at low speeds. This behavior is highly desired and appreciated during landings and even more so during landings (landing in water). Landing this light sports amphibian is an easy, safe and very pleasant operation. With a design that combines beauty, sportiness, robustness and elegance, the biplane is an invitation to discover new regions, new terrains and new landscapes. With plenty of energy to surprise even the most experienced pilots.Amphibious, seaplane, ultralight, biplane, light sports amphibious or simply Super Petrel LS. You can choose the name of the machine at will, but the experience it provides, whether on land or water tracks, usually has just one name: spectacular.

Mexico while supporting Airbus Helicopters’ metallic aerostructures activities

26 September 2017 Querétaro, Mexico


Share


Daher today inaugurated its newest logistics and industrial facility, which supplies Airbus Helicopters’ facility in Querétaro, Mexico, dedicated to Metallic Aerostructures Activities.

Located in a 3,200-sq. meter building, this facility supplies Airbus Helicopters’ nearby production center of metallic aerostructures, which notably includes the production of over wing emergency exit doors and bulk cargo compartment doors for single-aisle jetliners.
Daher’s responsibilities at its new Querétaro site underscore the company’s expertise across a full spectrum of capabilities, from product and process engineering, industrial services and machining to supply chain logistics and transportation. Material management to the delivery of finished doors. The scope of Daher’s operations at Querétaro includes forecasting and procurement of parts and chemicals required for the A320 door production; management of inbound material shipped by Airbus Helicopters in Germany to Mexico; customs clearance; along with inspection and warehousing.
After the material is accepted in Daher’s Querétaro facility, the company performs on-site pre-cutting of aluminum plates used in the doors, then delivers all door components to Airbus Helicopters for production. The process is completed by Daher’s reception of the finished doors from Airbus Helicopters; followed by their packaging and shipment to A320 final assembly lines.
“Such an end-to-end capability is unique to Daher, and it builds on the expertise from our business base that is equally balanced by industrial services and logistics,” said Nicolas Orance, Senior Vice President of Daher’s Aerospace and Defense Business Unit. “With the functions performed at Querétaro, we consider it a ‘logistics factory’ instead of the traditional logistics platform.”
Orance added that the Querétaro facility is aligned with Daher’s strategy of placing resources in close proximity to its customers, and ensuring flexibility in the range of services offered. Current employment is 20 persons – with the majority hired locally and trained for logistics, procurement, engineering methods and metal cutting for the aluminum plates. Enhancing Daher’s footprint in Mexico for new business opportunities.

This new operation also reinforces Daher's presence in Mexico, positioning it for the anticipated expansion of Airbus Helicopters' production at the location, and for future business opportunities within the Querétaro region – a major aerospace manufacturing cluster – as well as elsewhere in the country to serve aviation, automotive and other sectors. Daher already has a factory in Nogales, Mexico, where it produces composite airframes.
Daher has provided logistics services for Airbus Helicopters in a growing partnership that began in 2004, and today encompasses support for the production of rotor craft at Airbus factories in France, Spain and Germany.

The CAP 4A is a two-man aircraft used for primary training. It is a development of the EAY-201 “Ypiranga” (EAY – Empresa Aeronáutica Ypiranga) which first flew in 1935. In 1943, the prototype and manufacturing rights for the EAY-201 were acquired by Companhia Aeronáutica Paulista, which perfected the project and renamed it CAP-4 “Paulistinha”. This company produced a total of 777 CAP-4A aircraft from 1943 to 1948.

The example on display (registration number “PP-TJR”) flew in flying clubs until it was deactivated in 1970.

Ultralight manufactured in Colombia.To talk about the history and development of the ultralight aeronautical industry in Colombia, it is inevitable not to mention the trajectory of the current WACSA, (World Aircraft Company South America), a company based in Valle del Cauca since the beginning. of the 70s and that despite the different socio-economic difficulties that the country has gone through, it has managed to maintain itself over time.

From the threat posed by the rise of drug trafficking, through periods of recession, to the plagiarism of its aircraft both here in Colombia and abroad, it has managed to adapt with the support of the recognition and quality of the more than 500 aircraft produced locally ( gyroplanes, helicopters, high and low wing aircraft). In recent months it has continued to set the tone for what an organized ultralight industry should be, through the first local aircraft certifications and the formalization of official authorization by Aerocivil as a Manufacturer of Aeronautical Products.

The present synthesis of the history of this company demonstrates the capabilities and industrial potential in aeronautics that Colombia has:

At the end of the 1980s, an acute economic crisis began in Cuba due to the disappearance of communism in Eastern Europe. Light aviation, made up of Soviet, Polish and Czech aircraft, no longer receives parts. The decision is made to build a light aircraft of Cuban manufacture, easy to maintain and low fuel consumption. To this end, a group of engineers and technicians of the DAAFAR was organized in March 1989.

The "Design Multidisciplinary Collective" is directed by Lieutenant Colonel Engineer Sergio Morales Carmona. The prototype begins to build in February 1990, and ends in September 1992. It is given the name of "Comas" in tribute to Arturo Comas, who proposed his device to Martí in 1893. The first flight is made at the base San Antonio on October 10, 1992 by Lieutenant Colonel Pedro Luis Colmenero, with all success. The Academy of Sciences of Cuba qualifies it as the most outstanding work of 1992. In 1993-1996 the Comas continues to be tested by pilots Pedro Luis Colmenero and First Lieutenant Rafael Fajardo García, accumulating about 400 flight hours and almost 500 satisfactory landings, so the state commission of the DAAFAR decides the start of its production in series in January 1996. It chooses for it the Industrial Military Company "Yuri Gagarin" of Havana.

We had the opportunity to fly on the Mexican plane created by the Horizontec company in the city of Celaya.
Halcón II is the name of the first 100% Mexican aircraft made in Guanajuato
. Horizontec, a company established in Celaya, developed the plane, with the participation of engineers from the National Polytechnic Institute (IPN) and technicians from Conalep.

Horizontec is a Mexican company, dedicated to designing, developing and manufacturing aircraft, combining the application of cutting-edge technologies and advanced composite materials to obtain high functional and technical performance.

Chihuahua seeks to become the aeronautical capital of the country

27 June, 2024


CHIHUAHUA - The State of Chihuahua seeks to become the aeronautical capital of Mexico in the next three years and has set as a goal that the aircraft of U.S. manufacturers Bell and Cessna fly out of its territory completely assembled, said Marco Bonilla Mendoza, mayor-elect of Chihuahua.

Currently, it is already preparing the infrastructure and thousands of aircraft parts manufactured in the city, located in the north of the country, in Mexico's largest state, where 70% of several aircraft are assembled and then sent abroad to finish construction.

"The aerospace industry in the city of Chihuahua is the most developed in the country. Today, 100% of the parts needed to make an aircraft are made here. The airplane is already pre-assembled in Chihuahua and then transferred to Wichita, Kansas (USA), where the turbines are installed, the tests are done and that's it," said the mayor-elect in an interview with the EFE news agency.

He also added that Bell helicopters leave the capital with more than 80% of their assembly, since to complete 100% it is necessary to attract new factories, as well as special infrastructure, which he emphasized, "is already in process".

"A new aerospace park is being built in Chihuahua, five minutes from the airport, and the objective is precisely to be able to develop a more specialized industry in this aeropark, and that is going to happen in the next three years," he indicated.

There are currently eight aerospace manufacturing companies in Mexico, five of which are located in Chihuahua: Textron Aviation, Bell, Honeywell, EZ AIR-Embraer, Bombardier and Kaman Aerospace, in addition to more than 45 certified suppliers, such as Safran Aerosystem and Safran Electrical & Power, among many others.

"Those are the two strategic objectives we are setting out because the vision we have as a government is not only to attract industry, but to attract high-value jobs," Bonilla explained.

The growth of the aerospace industry in the city of Chihuahua has been achieved by the collaboration of the sectors that make up the aerospace cluster, where schools generate the right talent, the government creates the necessary conditions and private initiative provides the investment.
