Un résumé de Flight Global à propos de cette édition 2009, par le prisme d'Honeywell

Assez long car les acteurs sont nombreux et la crise très perceptible

---------------------------------------------------

The effects of the crippling global economic recession will drive down business jet deliveries by 30% this year and a further 15% next year, according to [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] eighteenth business aviation outlook released at the NBAA business aviation convention in Orlando, Florida.

The aerospace supplier in its 10-year outlook says that "2008 marks the end of an unprecedented five-year industry expansion that began in 2003". The outlook is regarded as the industry benchmark forecast.

After peaking in 2008 with 1,140 business jet shipments, new deliveries will fall to 800 this year and 700 in 2010. "A year ago, it appeared that the large industry backlog would act as a buffer to any moderate economic contraction and reduce the volatility in new aircraft deliveries," Honeywell says.
"As the extent of the recession worsened and the insidious nature of the credit crisis was revealed, it became evident
that industry backlogs were insufficiently firm to provide short-term buffering."

However, over the 10-year forecast period the market will pick up substantially, Honeywell suggests, with 11,000 business jets worth $200 billion set to be delivered between 2009 and 2019, it predicts.

Honeywell found that while long-term buyer interest has increased, "new purchase plans are currently timed later in the five-year planning window, which strongly suggests that by 2011-12 there will be significant pent-up demand that will improve the outlook for order intake and new jet deliveries".

Nevertheless, key international markets including Europe, Asia, Africa and the Middle East are set to play a significant role in the industry's near-term revival, says Honeywell.
"The relatively stronger levels and timing of international purchase plans suggests that pent-up demand will improve both order intake and new jet delivery rates by 2011-12, similar to what the industry experienced in the last cycle," says Rob Wilson, Honeywell's president, business and general aviation.

"Despite some programme cancellations and delays, there is still a solid pipeline of new high-value models supporting long-term growth and our survey indicates that international demand will remain significant."

International markets will account for more than 50% of the new aircraft deliveries over the next five years and North America around 48% - down from 55% in the previous survey. "Clearly, operators around the world are looking beyond the current economic climate and anticipating a return to improved business conditions.
The level of optimism varies somewhat by region, but it is certainly behind the stronger purchase plans reported this
year," Wilson says.

"While these results appear remarkably upbeat, it should be noted that the timing of planned purchases in the five-year window is heavily shifted in most regions to the post-2010 timeframe," he adds.

Globally, more than 75% of operator purchase plans mentioned in the 2008 survey were still in place, although about 17% were being deferred to a later date. "By 2012, a combination of pent-up demand and global economic recovery will cause demand for new jets to improve. The pipeline of new high-value models also supports the long-term growth scenario and international demand will remain significant."

Fractional operators still account for about 10-12% of the backlog for business jets, but have drastically
curtailed current new aircraft additions in the face of falling share sales, says Honeywell. "New jet deliveries to fractional fleet operators are off more than 66% and sales of new ownership shares have deteriorated further after
2008.

"As a result we are predicting lower deliveries into this segment for the next few years as excess capacity is worked off and shareholder levels are rebuilt," it says.

Demand over the next five years is expected to be fairly evenly balanced across most business jet segments, with light and light-medium accounting for 24%, medium and medium-large aircraft 23%, long-range, ultra-long range and large-cabin aircraft at 18%.

Over the full 2009-19 forecast period, Honeywell projects deliveries of around
2,800 very light jets (Cessna Citation Mustang, Embraer Phenom 100),
2,400 medium/medium-large aircraft (Bombardier Learjet 85, Hawker 750),
2,400 light/light-medium (Bombardier Learjet 40XR/45XR, Cessna Citation XLS)
1,500 long/ultra-long range (Dassault Falcon 7X, Gulfstream G550)
500 very high-speed, ultra-long-range jets (Gulfstream G650) and
1,000 large business jets (Bombardier Challenger 605, Falcon 2000LX).

Depuis 1961, les petits PT-6s, tuboprops, turboshafts, poursuivent une carrière incroyable.

Les avions qui en sont équipés furent, sont très nombreux

Beechcraft, Cessna, De Haviland Canada, Embraer, Pilatus, Short, Swearingen, etc.

48 ans de service; et ce n'est pas fini. Cela merite bien un petit hommage !

Description :

The PT6A-20 engine has a three-stage axial,
single-stage centrifugal compressor driven by a single-stage reaction
turbine.

Another single-stage turbine, counter-rotating with the first,
drives the output shaft. Fuel is sprayed in the annular combustion
chamber by fourteen individually removable fuel nozzles mounted around
the gas generator case.
An ignition unit and two coil igniter plugs are
used to start combustion.
A hydropneumatic fuel control schedules fuel
flow to maintain the power set by the gas generator power lever.

Propeller speed remains constant at any selected propeller control
lever position through the action of a propeller governor, except in
the Beta range where the maximum propeller speed is controlled by the
Fuel Topping Governor.
Immediately following touchdown, partial or full
reverse thrust may be obtained by lifting and retarding the power lever
aft of the detent. Varying amounts of reverse thrust are available,
depending upon how much the power lever is retarted.

Dans la famille ACJ, Airbus annonce au NBAA la livraison du 10ème A 318 Elite. Lutfthansa Technic, Comlux et Global Jet sont cités.

Dans l'aménagement cabine, il y a aussi Petters Aviation qui a repris un atelier MRO de Northwest.

Sur ATN :

Airbus’ A318 Elite has successfully passed the milestone of its tenth aircraft delivery, highlighting the widespread and growing appeal of this new member of the family, which was launched less than four years ago, in November 2005.


The A318 Elite has won more than 25 sales in Asia, Europe and the Middle East - about a quarter of the 100-plus sales won by the Airbus ACJ Family to date.

Derived from the smallest member of the modern Airbus aircraft family, the A318 Elite is unique in bringing the space and comfort previously only associated with much larger jets, to a much broader market.

"Our A318 Elite is the new space-ship of corporate jet travel, because of the leap in comfort and space that it brings to a broad market,” comments Airbus Chief Operating Officer, Customers, John Leahy. “The A318 Elite is also a very
affordable package, delivering value as well as comfort and space,” he adds.

The A318 Elite features an optimised cabin, produced in co-operation with Lufthansa Technik, offering attractive affordability and unmatched comfort.

Comlux of Switzerland took delivery of the first A318 Elite in 2007, and recently became the first to take delivery of a second for VVIP charter, which Airbus is displaying at this year’s NBAA show.
The A318 Elite has met with great success on the VVIP charter market, and is currently available for charter from Global Jet Concept in Geneva, as well as Comlux Aviation in Zurich.


This A318 Elite on display at NBAA features further improvements, such as a domed ceiling that brings a refreshing new ambiance to what is already the widest, tallest and most spacious cabin in its class.

In essence, customers get even more of a feeling of being in a stylish home or office rather than an aircraft, which is, in Airbus’ experience, what most of them really want.

Airbus can offer the domed ceiling because the upper interior of its aircraft is relatively uncluttered, allowing the installation of concave panels that create a pleasing impression of light and space that is unique to its aircraft in this
class.

The A318 Elite has a range of more than 4,200 nm/7,800 km, allowing it to fly coast-to-coast within the USA,
and to fly non-stop between London and New York.

Total sales of the Airbus corporate jets now stand at more than 150, comprising over 100 of the ACJ Family, plus a further 50 or so Airbus widebodies for VIP and government use.
