The Contract Provides For The Provision Of Services By Embraer For The PAF (Acronym In English For Philippine Air Force)

Embraer, along with the Philippine Air Force, has entered into a service contract for Embraer to produce subsidies to complement the fleet of A-29 Super Tucano aircraft, according to the Broadcast website.

The contract signed with Embraer provides for the supply of more than 200 components of the A-29 aircraft, of which 6 were delivered in 2010, during the global H1N1 (swine flu) pandemic. These aircraft from the contract remain maintained and operated by the 15th Attack Squadron.

The Embraer aircraft, which has delivered more than 260 units, has been purchased by over 15 air forces worldwide. Additionally, the global fleet of the A-29 Super Tucano aircraft from Embraer has reached 500,000 flight hours.

After successfully completing the thermal test of its cruise motor controllers, NASA announced that its fully electric experimental aircraft is closer to making its first flight. This development was publicly disclosed by the space agency in a post on its official blog last Tuesday.

Since 2016, the United States Space Agency has been hard at work developing the fully electric X-57 Maxwell aircraft with the intention of producing a more environmentally friendly, economical, and quieter flying vehicle. In a recent blog entry, NASA detailed how the thermal testing of the motor controllers is essential to the overall system design.

The reason for this is that the temperature test confirms the design, functionality, and manufacturing quality of the controllers, which are described as essential components for powering the experimental electric motor of the X-57. Check out more details of this story here.
