Alstom to take account of weak Bombardier results in deal talks

August 10, 2020 - by reuters for www.investing.com

French transport infrastructure company Alstom (PA:ALSO) said on Monday that it would take into account Bombardier's (TO:BBDb) weak results earlier this month as it continues with plans to buy the Canadian company's rail business.

In July, Alstom secured European Union antitrust approval to acquire the Bombardier rail business, in a deal worth up to 6.2 billion euros ($7.30 billion), aimed at making Alstom the world's second-largest rail maker after China's CRRC Corp (SS:601766).

Earlier this month, Bombardier reported a quarterly loss of $319 million.

"However, the quarterly announcement points to unexpected and negative developments regarding Bombardier...

With Boeing likely to consolidate 787 production in Charleston (SC), reflecting a rate of 6/mo, the future of assembly in Puget Sound rears its head again.

LNA outlined Aug. 3 why Everett is the ideal location to assemble the Next Boeing Airplane (NBA).

Boeing's product line also requires a new airplane in the 100-150 seat sector. Airbus' A220-100/300 and, nominally, the A320neo (but not the A319neo) fill this sector. (The A320neo was originally designed as a 150-seat airplane. It now is commonly configured in the 150-180 seat size.)

Airbus has a design for an A220-500, which could replace the A320.

Passengers risked being sucked into the operating engine of a Lauda Airbus A320 after commencing an unnecessary evacuation of the aircraft at London Stansted, investigators have determined.

The aircraft (OE-LOA) suffered a contained failure of its left-hand CFM International CFM56 powerplant during the take-off roll on 1 March last year.

Its crew rejected the take-off and brought the jet to a halt, before instructing the cabin crew to take their stations.

After the failed engine was...

Israel has been on high alert as tensions have escalated with the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah.

Israel's military said on Friday it had shot down a drone overnight that crossed into Israeli airspace near Mount Hermon in the Golan Heights, a strategic plateau at the frontier with Syria.

No other details were given, though the army said it was not connected to the triggering of sirens later in the day by a false alarm regarding a drone infiltration...

AS Works president and CEO Armin Strobel says the St. John's, N.L., tech company is close to clinching a deal for its aerial surveillance drones.

August 9, 2020 - by James Risdon for www.thechronicleherald.ca

Armin Strobel, president and CEO of AS Works, has developed a surveillance drone that takes off from a docking station that can be mounted on military vehicles and used to scout enemy movements.

The Problem:

A severe downturn in the oil industry scuttled a major contract with a corporate client in February, just after COVID-19 entered Canada, dashing AS Works' hopes of expanding its workforce and going into commercial production in the first half of the year.

The Pivot:

Using National Research Council money earmarked for tech companies, AS Works was able to push ahead, pay the salary of its founder and seek out military contracts.

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.
