The Boeing company announced few hours ago that it is making available the huge heavily modified Boeing 747 aircraft called the "Dream Lifter" for the transport of urgent and critical supplies to help in the fighting of the coronavirus named COVID-19.

"In support of COVID-19 relief efforts and heroic healthcare professionals, we are offering our Dreamlifter cargo plane to transport critical and urgently needed supplies. We will also be producing face shields using our 3D printing machines across the US."

Multinational Boeing Supplier Furloughs Hundreds Without Pay During Coronavirus Shutdown

March 28, 2020 - by Dominic Gates for www.seattletimes.com

While Boeing workers earn full pay during the company's two-week production shutdown, the 1,500 Washington state employees of French industrial giant Safran Group, who are also shut down for two weeks, will either have to apply for unemployment benefits or use their vacation time.

And though subsidiary Safran Cabin offered its mostly low-wage production workers a last-minute Paid Time Off (PTO) alternative, this came with a peculiar condition: It required employees to sign a waiver allowing the company to claw back wages if the worker is laid off or leaves before accruing all the PTO used now.

"It shows how cheap they really are," said one worker at Safran's plant in Marysville, which makes aircraft interiors and some structural parts....

The company stays on track for the turboprop's testing program

The Cessna 408—known by its marketing name, the SkyCourier—marked a new milestone in its development program on March 23, when Textron Aviation announced the completion of a successful series of initial ground tests, including engine run.

The prototype of the twin utility turboprop, named for its primary mission, features two Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-65SC engines. The test encompassed verification of the interplay between systems, including the fuel system and engine, plus the "interface with the avionics and electrical systems," according to the company's press release.

Chris Hearne, senior vice president, programs and engineering, said, "The successful engine run tests are a pivotal step toward proving the maturity of the aircraft and its systems as we prepare for first flight.

We continue to meet each important milestone in our development schedule, and we...

Now Both Aircraft Carriers In The Western Pacific Have COVID-19 Cases Raising Readiness Concerns

Sailors from a carrier forward deployed to Japan had contracted the virus as confirmed cases grow onboard another flattop in Guam

Sailors from a carrier forward deployed to Japan had contracted the virus as confirmed cases grow onboard another flattop in Guam.

Two sailors onboard the Nimitz class aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan, which forward-deployed in Japan and presently pier-side there, have tested positive for the COVID-19 novel coronavirus.

This comes just a day after the U.S. Navy announced it had quarantined the entire crew of another aircraft carrier, the USS Theodore Roosevelt, on their ship in port in Guam after a number of sailors contracted the virus.

The War Zone had already warned that the Roosevelt's predicament could be an ominous sign of what's to come for the Navy.

If Reagan is sidelined, as well, the service would have no carriers presently deployed in the Pacific region that can actually operate.

Here Are The Airlines Most in Danger of Going Under During the Crisis

Click Like to Follow Fliegerfaust Facebook page to get the News ASAP / Share to share this post now.

March 27, 2020 - by Anurag Kotoky for www.bloomberg.com

The global airline industry has never had it so bad. Not even after the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

Airlines could lose a quarter of a trillion dollars in revenue this year, according to the International Air Transport Association, as travel comes to a standstill with countries locked down to fight the coronavirus. Most carriers will go bankrupt by the end of May if they can't find support, Sydney-based CAPA Centre for Aviation said last week.

"In this very difficult period, it will only be the survival of the fittest" - Qatar Airways CEO Akbar Al Baker

Which airlines are most at risk? Like the virus, the crisis is indiscriminate, affecting everyone from budget operators to national flag carriers.

Original notes and articles

My name is Normand Hamel. After a 35 year career in aviation I retired in 2009 to better concentrate on my favourite activities: reading and writing. If you wonder what Run-up Pad means it refers to this special section of a run-up area on an airport that can be heated up in cold temperatures to prevent an aircraft from slipping forward when power is applied to test the engines. It also refers symbolically to the yellow pad I am using to write these articles for which I intend to bring our readers to contribution to test my ideas, like one would test an engine to make sure it works properly.
