Leonardo, Pratt & Whitney complete 100% SAF flight with AW139 helicopter
Leonardo and Pratt & Whitney Canada have successfully completed the first flight of an AW139 intermediate twin helicopter using 100% Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). The 75-minute test flight took place at Leonardo's facility in Italy, where the helicopter's PT6C-67C engines were evaluated for performance with the new fuel. The results were positive, showing no significant differences from the use of conventional Jet A1 fuel. Previously, AW139 helicopters had flown with a blend of SAF and traditional jet fuel in Japan, Malaysia, and the UAE. Leonardo's helicopters are certified to operate with up to a 50% SAF blend. Both companies emphasized their commitment to supporting sustainable aviation and reducing carbon emissions through the use of SAF.

The recent crash's cause is under investigation, with potential pilot error in flap deployment being considered. Nepal's aviation sector faces criticism for safety issues, with the European Union banning all Nepali airlines from its airspace. Despite being an ICAO member, Nepal struggles to meet international standards.

Rockets, tanks, helicopters. All those weapons produced in Rome and surroundings
The arms industry in Lazio, Italy, has seen significant growth, with exports increasing by 86% between 2019 and 2023. Major companies like Leonardo Spa, along with smaller firms, contribute to this sector, which is concentrated in areas like the 'Tiburtina Valley' and Colleferro. Greenpeace reports a 24% increase in the value of arms export authorizations in 2023, reaching 4.76 billion euros. The industry's impact on the regional economy is substantial, though difficult to quantify due to the dual-use nature of many products and military secrecy.

Making money on defence stocks: Is it ethical to cash in on the boom?
The ongoing Ukraine-Russia war and the Middle East conflict have led to a booming global defence market, with significant increases in military expenditure. The US dominates arms sales, followed by Europe, where companies like BAE Systems, Leonardo, and Airbus are thriving. Experts predict continued growth in the arms market, driven by increased military spending in Europe and NATO's commitment to defence readiness. Ethical considerations arise regarding investments in defence stocks, with opinions divided on whether such investments support warfare or national defence. European defence companies are expanding production and benefiting from improved payment terms, attracting investors.

Germany as pioneer: The dream of vertical takeoff
Engineers have long been captivated by the idea of vertical takeoff aircraft, combining the benefits of helicopters and fixed-wing planes. Germany played a pioneering role during the Cold War, developing several vertical takeoff jets, including the Dornier Do 31, which set world records but faced challenges like high kerosene consumption and noise. The 1973 oil crisis and budget cuts halted further development. Modern advancements, such as the AW609 tiltrotor aircraft by Leonardo, show the continued interest and potential for vertical takeoff technology, particularly for commercial applications in the offshore industry.

Iconic RAF Red Arrows jets in danger of being replaced by Russian planes loved by Putin in move slammed as 'outrageous'
The RAF's Red Arrows may replace their iconic British-made jets with Russian-designed M-346s, sparking outrage among UK politicians and military figures. The closure of the BAE Hawks factory and delays in UK alternatives have led to considering the M-346, developed by Russia and Italy. Critics argue this move undermines British industry and sends the wrong message given the UK's stance on Russia. The Ministry of Defence is exploring options, but no decision has been made. The M-346, used by several NATO air forces, is produced by Leonardo, who assert its compliance with NATO standards.
