A bit 'of history
In the early 2000 the reduction of hours flown by general aviation (and GA) EU to America and became a sad evidence. The reason was easily identifiable in the high costs of certification of the machines and the increasing costs of fuel AVGAS.
This phenomenon led him to create, in 2004, a new class (the LSA) that, interpreting the requirements of the market, sowed the seeds for the rebirth of the AG. The LSA, spread throughout the New World as Oceania and South Africa, has created a thriving market sector in which many European companies (also Italian) invested with good results.
The reaction of the EU
The phenomenon could not even impact the EU Market, albeit with a little 'delay. In July 2011 EASA has formally issued the certification scheme known as CS-LSA (ove CS sta per Certification Specification). Bureaucratic delays have led to EASA Type Certificate issued on 1 until April 2012 right to CZECH AIRCRAFT SPORT (cert. No EASA A.546). The CS-LSA is based on the American one but, at the same time, introduces some degree of freedom in more (i.e. retractable landing gear and propeller PVV) and outlines the organizational characteristics of companies in a very professional (imposes the necessity of the Design Organisation Approval DOA and POA Production Organization Approval).
De Agostini has two DVDs for an exciting journey into the heart of the most spectacular aerobatic and loved the world.
180 minutes of intense feelings and emotions, lived alongside the riders in a more realistic and intense as possible.
What we present is a video made using modern imaging techniques and with the help of miniature cameras installed in strategic areas of the aircraft, so as to fly together 10 MB-339 aircraft of PAN.
Testing new models of the Tricolour Arrows postponed to Wednesday because of weather conditions less than ideal. The airport "Panero" Villanova d'Albenga - already location, last week, for some tests carried out by two of the manufacturer Aermacchi test pilots (among them Matthew Maurice of Cisano On Neva) - Return the day after the protagonist, when they host the new aircraft models and M-346 twin-engine two-seater.
This is a new generation of veivoli with the latest technology in aviation, the attention of the whole European sector and with the possibility of becoming "trainer" for all member nations to NATO. For hours 10 Wednesday is scheduled to arrive at the airport Ingauno, after refueling and ground operations by the two new models will stand up in the air, direct Capo Course, special exercises which take place in open sea.

U.S. Navy drone of the latest stealth fighter has reached a new milestone. It has indeed flown in cruise configuration for the first time.
The jet X-47B is designed to fly aerodynamically – does not even have a tail – and partly to improve its stealth. So far, however, in all its flight tests had never withdrawn the landing gear, making it difficult to test its aerodynamic characteristics.
Now further tests will help engineers to test the performance of the aircraft in a wide range of altitudes, speed and fuel conditions. Northrop Grumman is developing the X-4B on behalf of the U.S. Navy, which plans to use them on aircraft carriers. The drone is designed as a robotic attack aircraft, able to assume a multitude of missions at speeds much higher than the Predator and Reaper cousins. It will be the first unmanned aircraft to take off and land on aircraft carriers a platform. Come tale, The Navy is also studying the intelligence drone, so that each X-47B will not need to bother the tower.

Three unique and indistinguishable: planes of 2025 will be environmentally friendly, silent and a little thirsty for kerosene.
Proposals submitted by Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman e Boeing Company appeared a few days ago the site of NASA (is the commissioning body). Aircraft can cover more than 11 thousand kilometers and carry up to 45 thousand pounds.
According to NASA aircraft of the future will issue 71 decibels less than the current standards of Federal Aviation Administration and consume the 70% less fuel. Some companies have pointed to the aerodynamics, efficiency of other engines, others to decrease speed to reduce fuel consumption.
These are just the aircraft of the future? What do you think?
Sukhoi conducts flight tests on Su-34 fighter-bomber at the Chkalov Aviation Production Association (NAPO) a Novosibirsk.
In 2008 was a contract was signed with the government to provide the Ministry of Defense Russian Su-34 series. The Su-34 ground attack can effectively perform, into the sea by day and night in all weather conditions with the full range of its ammunition, including the types of high precision. In terms of operational capabilities is a 4 th generation of fighter. Its active safety system, together with the new computer, offers extra features for the pilot and the navigator allows for shelling and under enemy fire.
The aircraft is equipped with outstanding flight performance, maintenance and handling. It has long range aiming systems and communications equipment on board modern and exchange of information with the ground troops, with surface ships and aircraft in flight. E ‘dotato di un elegante sistema radar di difesa. The Su-34 has a sophisticated system of survival, including an armored passenger. The aircraft can perform missions at low altitude in a by-pass and fly-by.
