A380 In Single Class

Air Austral, the airline based in Saint Denis, La Reunion, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Airbus for the purchase of two A380s in a single-class configuration. In such a configuration, the A380 will offer unprecedented level of fuel economy, further emphasising the eco-efficient nature of the aircraft.

In a single-class configuration the aircraft will seat around 840 passengers in the widest economy class seats and the service proven quietest cabin in the sky. Air Austral plans to operate the A380 through one of its subsidiaries on its high-density route from La Reunion to Paris, France. No engine choice has been made at this stage.

“Our vision is to provide a low cost-high quality service on the heavy traffic route between La Reunion and Paris and the A380 allows us to make this vision a reality,” said Gerard Etheve, President of Air Austral. “The A380 has the lowest cost per seat and is the most environment-friendly aircraft flying today while at the same time providing a high level of passenger comfort. This will enable Air Austral to better connect La Reunion to France at a lower fare”, he added.
John Leahy, Airbus Chief Operating Officer Customers, added: “Air Austral ‘s selection shows the potential of the A380 in the market of today and tomorrow. The real benefits of “doing more with less” now is a reality offered to the market and we congratulate Air Austral on making their vision into a real strategy for this important market segment”.

Being greener, cleaner, quieter and smarter, the A380 is already setting new standards for air transport and the environment. In addition to offering unequalled levels of passenger comfort, space and quietness in the cabin, the A380 has unmatched levels of operating cost and fuel efficiency, consuming with 840 passengers less than two liters per passenger per 100 kilometers.
The A380 not only complies with today’s noise limits, it is also significantly quieter than any other large aircraft flying today. With a range of 8 200 nm / 15 200 km, the A380 is the ideal equipment to alleviate traffic congestion at busy airports, while coping with growth. Firm orders for the aircraft stand at 198 from 16 customers.

Boeing 787 Dreamliner

US plane manufacturer Boeing has unveiled its 787 Dreamliner - the firm's first all-new jet since 1995. It is the only big commercial aircraft made mostly of carbon fibre rather than aluminium and is billed as the most environmentally friendly ever built. Boeing says the 787 is much more fuel efficient than its competitors and produces 20% less CO2.The firm says it already has more than 600 orders. The first test flight is expected in August or September. Sunday was chosen for Dreamliner's premiere as it is 8 July, or, in the American date style, 07/08/07.

Compare Boeing and Airbus planes
An audience of thousands were in attendance in Everett, Washington state near Seattle as the aircraft was presented to the media. "Our journey began some six years ago when we knew we were on the cusp of delivering valuable new technologies," Mike Bair, who heads the 787 programme, told the crowd.

Competition
Hours earlier, Boeing said it had received 35 new orders for the plane.
The orders, from Air Berlin and a Kuwaiti leasing firm, mean Boeing now has 677 orders from 47 customers for the midsize, long-haul jet. It is due to go into service next year, with Japan's All Nippon Airways set to be the first recipient as a reward for placing orders for 50 of the aircraft.
Carbon fibre, which is lighter and more durable than aluminium, makes up about 50% of the plane's structure, including the fuselage and wings.This is intended to make the 787 fuel efficient. Boeing says the composite materials also mean air in the cabin can be more humid, leaving long-haul passengers less jetlagged.

Envrionment
Phil Clapp, president of the National Environmental Trust, a non-partisan US group, told the BBC that the 787 was a "major step forward" but not the sole solution to aviation emissions. Some environmentalists say the lower operating costs will make air travel cheaper and simply encourage more people to fly.

The Dreamliner is Boeing's first all-new plane since the 777, which began flying in 1995.
It is crucial to Boeing's success, just as Airbus is pinning its hopes for the future on its forthcoming A380. However, the two are very different planes with different aims.
The European firm sees its superjumbo plane as a response to airline calls for a bigger plane to meet increasing passenger numbers flying between major hubs.


Smaller planes
Boeing is taking a different tack, predicting that the future growth sector will be for additional medium-sized planes that can service smaller airports. Airbus is currently developing the A350, which is more of a direct rival to the 787, but it is not expected to roll out the plane until about 2011. Boeing received a boost at the Paris air show with an order for 50 of the aircraft from ILFC. Orders from plane-leasing companies - among the biggest global buyers of aircraft - are often seen as an indication of how a model will succeed in the long term. Assembly of the first Dreamliner began in May, although Boeing says that when full operation is under way, it will take just three days to put together each aircraft in final assembly

PMDG MD-11

PMDG continues our lineage of fine airliner simulations with another popular heavy airliner, the PMDG MD-11! Born out of airline requirements for a "modern new DC-10" the MD-11 is a superb example of aircraft engineering from the era when modern computer processing power was beginning to bring truly new ideas, safety and capability to the cockpit of transport airplanes.

Highly automated and employing innovative new approaches to the pilot/airplane interface, the MD-11 took the McDonnell Douglas widebody line into the future with fully automated flight modes, aircraft system status pages, failure onsequence displays and clearly thought out pilot controls. One of the most advanced airplanes ever produced by Douglas, the MD-11 has been largely missing from desktop simulation... Until Now !

PRODUCT FEATURES:

Exterior Model:
3DS Max MD-11 Model - Both engine variants included, accurately modeled to the smallest details and completed with high resolution textures.
BONUS MD-11F Model - Having emerged as one of the most popular large freighters, an additional model representing the cargo version is also included complete with animated main deck cargo door (both the fore and aft main deck cargo door variants are modeled).
Airplane Animations - All of the animated parts on the exterior model bring the MD-11 to life. Realistic gear, flap, spoiler and slat movement, opening passenger and cargo doors, wings that flex in response to aerodynamic and stress loads, and of course an Air Driven Generator (ADG) all animated using the most current 3D design industry standard techniques.

Virtual Cockpit:
Dynamic Virtual Cockpit - Designed and animated using the same proprietary techniques developed for PMDG's award-winning 747-400 product line, Virtual Cockpit users will truly enjoy the sensation of "being there" when flying this simulator from the fully animated 3D virtual cockpit.
Wing Views - Enjoy your flight from different locations in and around the aircraft, including multiple views of the wings.

Cockpit Features:
Complete Avionics - Sharp vector graphic cockpit displays bring the PMDG MD-11 vividly to life.
Cockpit Systems - Aircraft Systems modeled to the degree of accuracy you've come to expect only from PMDG. Whether using the 2D or Virtual Cockpit, all cockpit switches, buttons knobs and controls work as they do on the MD-11. Developed with comprehensive support of PMDG's MD-11 Technical Advisors, to ensure everything is simulated correctly including fuel, hydraulics, pneumatics/air conditioning/cabin pressurization and all other secondary systems. When applicable automatic and manual modes are simulated, including system redundancy, interdependency and failure consequences.




Internal Lighting - Modeled using a proprietary technique developed by PMDG specifically for the MD-11, you will be amazed at the range of lighting and customization options available






including:
Flood lighting and panel back-lighting independently controlled for different sections of the cockpit with variable intensity that can be increased and dimmed to 256 levels of intensity in a true 'rheostat' style Effect of flood and label lighting varies for different times of the day
Dome lighting can be applied on top of flood lighting
Widescreen Support - 2D Panel supports both standard and widescreen monitors with unique artwork for each.

Additional Features:
Fully Immersive Sound - To increase the level of immersion, PMDG has included the unique sound of nearly every aspect of the MD-11 airplane. Hundreds of individuals switches, knobs, and controls were recorded expressly for the purpose of providing audio-tactile feedback as never before presented in a PMDG simulation. The sound package (included with the product) covers every sound you would expect to hear in the MD-11 cockpit, from the first click of the battery switch to the roar of the engines in flight. Interactive Load Manager - Adjust the weight of the fuel, passenger and cargo load for each flight. Add-on Liveries - As is always the case at PMDG, numerous free add-on liveries are available for most real-world MD-11 and MD-11F operators.

Additional MD-11 Details:
LSAS (Longitudinal Stability Augmentation System)
RCWS (Roll control Wheel Steering)
Interactive FMS with three MCDUs - All major functionality operating to match its real world counterpart Cockpit layout/windows management - Correct pilot perspective when using main 2D panel view.
Innovative methods to allow customizable display of essential flight controls (FCP/ECP) into main view when flying from the 2D panel view.
One-click configuration of panel windows for specific tasks e.g. 4th DU (SD display) + SDCP (System Display Cotrol Panel) + related overhead panel part, Engine Starters + Fuel switches + Overhead Ignition panel etc.

Failures Simulation - Unique MD-11 alerting system with over 400 crew alerting messages. The MD-11 takes crew alerting a step further however, by displaying dynamic lists of "consequences" related to system failures in order to help the crew maintain airplane and situational awareness during abnormal operations. The crew alerting and consequences system is fully modeled within the PMDG MD-11. Airline Options - Dozens of airline options featured for customized airplane operations.

System Depth - MD-11 systems are very advanced and complex. However, all main systems (hyd, air, fuel, electrics) have automatic controllers that reconfigure the systems for the appropriate phase of flight and handle failures and abnormal situations just as is done on the actual airplane. When operated in auto mode, the airplane manages itself programmatically with minimal pilot interface (e.g. no need to ever turn on/off fuel pumps, engine bleeds and packs etc. the controllers will do this for you). Just as on the real aircraft, the crew can switch systems to manual mode for specific control of any of the highly detailed systems.
