MESSAGE

The Future of Flight Travel and Aerospace MRO

W

ith the new year off to a great start, it is an opportune moment to take a look at the emerging technologies and trends coming up in the aviation and aerospace industries. In this issue of Aerospace Singapore, we seek to understand the needs and development of the sector, and what could transpire for airport operators, airlines and travellers in future.

By 2019, Asia Pacific is expected to receive 345 million international arrivals, driven by improved flight connectivity, investment in infrastructure, online and

mobile sales. Projections by the International Air Transport Association show that passenger numbers are expected to reach 7 billion by 2034 with routes to, from and within the Asia Pacific seeing an extra 1.8 billion annual passengers, for an overall market size of 2.9 billion. Comparing with other regions, the APAC region will increase to 42 percent of global passenger traffic and its annual average growth rate of 4.9 percent will be the joint-highest with the Middle East.

As travellers’ demands change according to their habits on land, airport and airline operators are turning to innovative ways to keep up with consumers’ wants. The next generation of travel and the technology that powers it will focus on three key factors – personalisation, connectivity and sustainability.

Passengers can look forward to a more seamless, responsive and personalised travel experience integrating wearable technology, virtual reality, and biometrics among others.

The growing Asian aircraft fleet and expansion of aviation infrastructure would also lead a corresponding increase for MRO and other auxiliary services. MRO providers need to invest in new capabilities over the next few years as manufacturers deliver next generation aircraft and engines. The use of big data in the aviation industry will become pervasive, with the rise of aircraft health monitoring and predictive maintenance systems.

The way MRO providers manage aircraft maintenance will also change with wearable and other new repair technologies, including additive manufacturing.

Amidst these exciting development, the Singapore Airshow returns from 16 to 21 February with a renewed focus on driving global aviation industry trends and the adoption of emerging technologies. The fifth edition airshow will see participation of over 1,000 companies from some 50 countries.

Aerospace Singapore will take this opportunity to whet our readers’ appetite with a special Interactive Digital Edition.

I hope you enjoy this issue and have an exciting 2016! philip quek / President, AAIS

Gulfstream GV and GIV Approved For Cabin Connectivity Upgrade

Gulfstream Aerospace Corp. announced it has received approval from the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to install the Gogo Business Aviation UCS 5000 smart cabin system on Gulfstream GV and GIV aircraft.

“T

his cabin connectivity and entertainment enhancement significantly enriches the passenger experience in the GV and GIV,” said Mike West, Vice President, Product Support Sales and New Business Development, Gulfstream.

“Most notably, passengers will have access to an inflight entertainment service – Gogo Vision – that delivers regularly updated on-demand movies and television shows to any personal electronic device in the cabin.

UCS 5000 interfaces with Iridium and SwiftBroadband systems. The new equipment’s smart router provides wireless service to multiple users with a single log-on, manages multiple data networks and supports Gogo Text & Talk, a service that enables passengers

to use their smartphones for calling and texting in flight with their own mobile number, in conjunction with Gogo’s ATG 4000 or ATG 5000 inflight Internet system.

As a full-function media server, UCS 5000 provides access to the Gogo Vision library of approximately 200 movies and TV shows. This service is activated by purchasing a software key. Operators who elect to use Gogo Vision can update content manually using a USB drive or wirelessly through Gogo Cloud service, which is available at select fixed-based operators in the US. Gulfstream is pursuing similar supplement type certificates from the FAA to begin offering UCS 5000 to G550 and G450 aircraft in 2016.

Bohai Leasing Completes Acquisition of Avolon

A

volon Holdings, the international aircraft leasing company, announced the completion of its merger agreement with Chinese-firm, Bohai Leasing.

As a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bohai, Avolon’s shares have ceased trading on the New York Stock Exchange.

Avolon will be the core aircraft leasing brand for Bohai Leasing and its parent, HNA Group, and assumes management of the Hong Kong Aviation Capital (HKAC) business, another Bohai subsidiary.

As of December 2015, Avolon’s owned, managed and committed fleet, together with HKAC fleet, comprises 420 aircraft with an average aircraft age of 3.2 years and a value of US$22 billion (approx.

S$32 billion) serving 67 customers in 36 countries. Avolon’s pro-forma fleet includes direct orders from manufacturers for new technology aircraft, including 105 Airbus neo aircraft (A320 family and A330); 20 Boeing 737 MAX aircraft and 6 Boeing 787-9 aircraft.

Avolon, together with HNA Group and Bohai’s other aircraft leasing interests, comprises a total fleet of more than 500 aircraft – the world’s fourth largest aircraft leasing business by asset value.

China’s Juneyao Airlines Selects Thales’s Avionic Suite for Its New Airbus Fleet Juneyao Airlines, one of the fastest-growing regional airlines in China operating out of Shanghai has selected Thales’s avionics suite for its new Airbus A320 Family fleet. With its name translating into ‘Auspicious Airlines’, the carrier operates out of both Hongqiao and Pudong airports, thereby serving the whole of the Shanghai Metroplex.

T

he contract signed with Thales will equip an initial 17 Airbus single aisle aircraft with the Thales Flight Management System (FMS), the navigation solution of choice for Airbus aircraft in China1, alongside the THALES/ACSS T3CAS surveillance platform2, the preferred solution for all Airbus aircraft in the world. The new fleet will also feature the Low Range Radio Altimeter (LRRA) and Emergency Location Transmitters (ELT).

Juneyao has been flying T3CAS on their existing fleet and have enjoyed the benefits of a performance-based Terrain

Awareness Warning System (TAWS). In addition, Juneyao is also equipped with Airbus ATSAAIRB (Enhanced Air Traffic Surveillance).

“The confidence Juneyao has placed in us is extremely important to our strategy here in China. With Thales employing over 1,000 employees in the country, 95 percent of whom are Chinese citizens, China remains one of our most important growing markets.

Competition for the growing client base here is fierce and each new contract is very important,” said Daniel Malka, Vice President and General Manager of Thales Avionics Services Worldwide.

TAI and LHTEC Sign Contract for CTS800 Engine

T

urkish Aerospace Industries (TAI) and the Light Helicopter Turbine Engine Company (LHTEC), a 50-50 partnership between Honeywell International Inc and Rolls-Royce, have signed an agreement to supply CTS800 turboshaft engines for the Turkish Light Utility Helicopter, a programme of the Undersecretary for Defense Industry since September 2013.

The agreement, which confirms a Memorandum of Understanding signed at 2015’s Paris Air Show, consists of a five-year development programme to integrate and certify the CTS800-4AT engine model on the Turkish Light Utility Helicopter (TLUH) platform. The agreement is expected to result in a production programme that will provide helicopters to the local Turkish military and civil market, as well as globally. With the CTS800, operators will benefit from a proven commercial and military propulsion system that expands mission range and payload.

For delivery in 2020, TAI will design a 5-ton, twin-engine utility helicopter equipped with the CTS800, the same engine model that powers the T129 ATAK helicopters currently in use by the Turkish Land Forces. With almost a quarter of the Turkish gross domestic product stemming from its manufacturing sector, the TLUH programme brings significant potential for domestic Turkish suppliers to provide manufacturing and support for both the production programme and engine development. By working directly with local vendors, the CTS800 global support network will help create further job opportunities that match local skills with domestic work demand.

Lockheed Martin N+2 has a tri-jet configuration

A new era beckons as the aviation industry takes flight with new technologies and inventions that are set to revolutionise the travel scene. From the airport to the aircraft, the future of air transport looks to be a unique experience where advancing solutions form a major part of the transformation.

Supersonic technology The world had its first brush with supersonic technology when the Concorde began operations in 1976 but due to certain restrictions like noise performance and heavy structure, the Concorde had to be retired in 2003. This also followed the Concorde crash in Paris in 2000 and the Sept 11th incident in 2001 which saw a dip in demand and profitability.

Now the resurrection of a new generation of supersonic jets looks to be well on its way with the renewed technological advancement and research done in this area. NASA has already begun exploration to tackle the biggest barriers in developing economically viable and environmentally acceptable supersonic transports, which are high emissions and the sonic boom. The latter is a big hurdle for the 21st-century supersonic flight, where the shock waves created by an object moving faster than sound is liken to an explosion.

The space agency is working with Lockheed Martin on the N+2, a proposed larger civilian-class supersonic aircraft modelled after the first prototype N+1. A new kind

of propulsion system is being developed to suppress noise while achieving supersonic speeds at Mach 1.7 to allow the N+2 to travel across the country and not just over water as with current restrictions. “We are also exploring new techniques for low noise jet exhaust, integrated fan noise suppression, airframe noise suppression and computer customised airport noise abatement,� explained Michael Buonanno, Lockheed Martin manager of the N+2 programme.

Under the N+2 programme, Lockheed Martin works with General Electric and Rolls-Royce to look at engine concepts that have high fuel efficiency and can meet the take-off and landing noise constraints. The N+2 concept has a tri-jet configuration with one engine located on the top of the aircraft and the other two under each wing.

These locations are essentially concealed from the sonic boom thanks to the tailored volume and lift distribution of the plane, whereby the disturbance blends in.

The US-based Aerion is also confident of getting around the sonic boom issue and has already started taking orders for the AS2, a dart-shaped business jet

being produced in collaboration with Airbus. The AS2 can fly up to 12 people at Mach 1.5 – which is slightly above the speed of sound and at which the boom dissipates. It is due to begin test flights in 2019.

Aerospace companies and other institutions are making headway into quieting the sonic booms and a solution seems likely in the next 10 to 20 years. If this proves to be successful, the advent of hypersonic technology will not be too far away.

E-aviation Electric aviation is a concept worth looking into. Electricity produces a cleaner and quieter propulsion in comparison to traditional forms of take-off. The Airbus E-Fan is one such electric aircraft that have successfully made its maiden journey in July 2015. The aircraft is made of carbon fibre with a wingspan of 9.45 metres and a height of 2 metres, and a total engine power of 60kW. Its 120-cell lithium battery system requires only 90 minutes of full recharge to operate. Airbus has invested ¤20 million to develop the technology and to introduce a production model of the E-Fan in 2017 or 2018.

The viability of an electric system is gaining traction as aircraft manufacturers are anticipating stricter enforcements to cut back on carbon pollution. It has been reported by the US Environmental Protection Agency that carbon emissions by airlines have significantly contributed to climate change and new regulations could come into effect by 2017. The European Union has also looked into charging some airlines for CO2 emissions.

In Asia Pacific, no official directive yet but the ASPIRE (Asia and Pacific Initiative to Reduce

Emissions) coalition has been actively looking at ways to lessen aviation’s environmental footprint since its establishment in 2008. The partnership was formed by Airservices Australia, Airways New Zealand and the US Federal Aviation Administration and later joined by the Japan Civil Aviation Bureau in 2009 and the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) in 2010.

NASA also has been championing the goal of future passenger airplanes with greatly reduced fuel consumption, noise and emissions. Its Fundamental Aeronautics Program could potentially see a concept vehicle being brought into service within the next 15 to 20 years. The

Aerospace Singapore

Boeing Subsonic Ultra Green Aircraft Research (SUGAR) Volt is one such concept. The SUGAR Volt operates on a twin-engine design and electric battery gas turbine hybrid propulsion system that is able to reduce fuel burn by more than 70 percent and total energy use by 55 percent.

Concept planes and cabins The concept planes of tomorrow look sleek to say the least as manufacturers and designers work at pushing the boundary of what is possible.

Take for example, the Skeemr concept plane, the brainchild of Canadian engineer and inventor Charles Bombardier. His vision

is of a 75-passenger aircraft that can travel at 10 times the speed of sound reaching an incredible Mach 10 speed, utilising hypersonic technology.

The jet would have to take off from a magnetically charged electric system at gun-like speeds.

Rockets would then increase the aircraft speed to ignite its main scramjet engine. The scramjet engine, which is currently being tested by the US and China, would then compress incoming air for engine combustion, burning hydrogen and compressed oxygen to accelerate its speed to make a trip from New York to London in just 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, US aerospace engineering firm, Windspeed Technologies has introduced its SkyDeck design in 2015 to much fanfare. The concept revealed a seating system that can be accessed via an elevator or staircase to allow passengers to sit on top of the plane, within a transparent bubble-style canopy. The one-seat or two-seat configuration can be installed on a variety of aircraft from private jets to wide-bodied commercial planes, while a GPS system can be integrated into the platform to provide flight and location information.

Ideas are also abound for futuristic planes to feature windowless interior and

holographic technology. The UK-based organisation, Centre for Process Innovation (CPI) is working with companies to see how large, hi-definition, ultra-thin and lightweight screen panels could form the inside of the fuselage.

Windows would be replaced by full-length screens and passengers would be able to switch from the view of the world outside to identify prominent sights on screen or even surf the Internet.

This early-stage concept will provide a solution to the aviation industry’s quest to find ways to reduce weight, which would cut fuel consumption and bring down fares. According to the CPI, for every 1 percent reduction in the weight of an aircraft, there is a saving in fuel of 0.75 percent.

Inflight Virtual Reality The next big thing in travel is being touted as the ultimate immersive experience. Major airlines are making strides with Inflight Virtual Reality or VR, forming a new wave of inflight entertainment (IFE) which will change the way passengers travel.

In early 2015, Qantas collaborated with Samsung Electronics Australia to launch a trial run, where passengers were given a chance to experience 3D virtual reality in an interactive 360° cinematic video format via the

BIOMETRIC ENROLLMENT

FEATURE

Samsung’s Gear VR. Through the headsets, travellers were able to tour destination cities, watch latest blockbuster movies and even check out duty-free items, all without leaving their seats.

“In our opinion, VR will establish itself in two different ways in the aircraft. On the one hand, as VR will become mainstream over the next years, bring your own device (and streaming VR content to your own device) will be one major trend that we are likely to see, particularly with low cost airlines.

“On the other hand, high-end solutions will also emerge. For instance, we believe that VR hardware will be embedded in the seats, making it possible to add unique and immersive experiences to the existing inseat entertainment programme,” shared Nikolas Jaeger, one of the co-founders of Munich-based start-up Inflight VR. The company is currently making inroads into the IFE space by giving users

ABOVE: The Gear VR headset includes a touchpad and back button on the side BELOW: A proximity sensor in the Gear VR helps to detect when the headset is on

the freedom to forget about the physical limitations of the aircraft and enjoy an alternate reality.

Jumping onto the bandwagon of virtual inflight world is the San Francisco-based Osterhout Design Group, which developed the R-7 Smart Glasses. The tech company’s device uses augmented reality to give users a 360° experience and enjoy 3D content away from privy neighbours on the same flight. The glasses display video at 720p HD with headset attachments for sound.

A potentially great function of the Smart Glasses is during an inflight emergency, a crew member could use it to reach a medical facility and show the expert the situation at hand in real time.

Known as telepresence, the remote communications technology is already being employed in the military and medical world. It could save a life on-board too!

The concept of inflight virtual reality has caught the attention of several airlines but some issues still need to be ironed out. In the case of VR, it is the risk of associated nausea if the aircraft experiences turbulence. This is something which the launch of the new Oculus Rift by Oculus VR in early 2016 is expected to help address. Its Organic Light Emitting Diode display is able to deliver crisp, rapid movement at a faster frame rate, which presumably can keep up with the wearer’s movement and reduce motion sickness significantly.

Wearable tech Wearable technology has become the key phrase among airports and airlines as it’s emerging

to be more than just a fad. The technology can perform many of the same computing tasks as mobile phones and laptops but it is much more sophisticated with sensory and scanning features such as biofeedback and tracking of physiological function.

A 2014 SITA survey showed that almost every passenger (97 percent) today carries a smartphone, tablet or laptop when they fly while one in five travels with all three. Additionally, close to 77 percent of the 6,277 respondents said they would be comfortable with the use of wearable tech to help them on their journey. Hence, a technologyled innovation could significantly enhance the passenger experience.

SECURITY CONTROL

In SITA’s trial with Virgin Atlantic on wearable tech, concierge staff were able to meet and greet VIP passengers with a personalised check-in service. SITA has also developed an application which would allow gate agents to automatically and simultaneously scan a boarding pass and passport in less than a second by using a pair of wearable smart glasses.

Its development arm, SITA Lab is collaborating with airlines and airports to develop and pilot potential solutions for the air transport industry.

A work-force solution ensures operations run smoothly.

For example, the Apple Watch can be linked to SITA’s Airport Management System, in which duty managers may get an alert notification about two planes arriving simultaneously and be assigned to the same gate or if there’s a delay at certain gate. This was successfully introduced at the Quebec City International Airport where the airport workforce utilises the Apple Watch and SITA’s system to efficiently integrate its operation.

Wearable technology is also expected to become a more essential component for the future of MRO in bringing up new levels of visibility, control and productivity. Smart wearables

Accenture and Airbus have developed an application for wearables to reduce the complexity of assembling cabin seats and decrease the time required to complete this task. Through this technology, a manufacturing professional can utilise digitally enabled, industrial-grade smart glasses for a faster and more accurate contextual marking process.

Biometrics The International Air Transport Association (IATA) projects that in the next 20 years, global travel will grow 4.1 percent per year and reach 7.3 billion in 2034. This would require airport operations and processes to be innovatively improved in order to maintain security. Biometric technology, in the form of facial, iris and fingerprint recognition, will become more important than ever to create a single passenger token and seamless airport journey.

Changi Airport is expected to leverage on the latest technology to drive efficiency beyond the

The adoption of facial recognition at the self-bag drop machines, integrated border control lanes and self-boarding gates will allow full automation of security checks and thus, enhance operational efficiency while reducing reliance on manpower.

Japan meanwhile, will soon be introducing mobile biometric terminals at airports to capture photos and fingerprints of foreign visitors, cutting down the processing time at the immigration desk.

Called Biocart, the terminals will be installed at all airports with international operations beginning April 2016. Upon capturing the visitors’ images and fingerprints, the terminals will send the information to the immigration desk.

The use of Biometrics can also help strengthen security in airport operations. In Canada, the Air Transport Security Authority has announced that a dual biometric airport identification system for staff is now fully operational at 29 of the largest airports in Canada.

The smart card authentication system, known as the Restricted Area Identity Card, has been issued to more than 90,000 workers at the airport who have access to restricted areas in the airport. The innovative biometric programme consists of a small biometric chip, a processor and a memory to store templates of the iris and fingerprints. In addition, iris and fingerprint readers are set up as part of a network connecting all the 29 airports to a central database. It is a step up in airport security for non-passengers.

Connecting Far and Wide With a fleet of geostationary satellites, a network of teleports and offices around the globe, SES is a world-leading satellite operator that provides reliable and secure satellite communications solutions. Deepak Mathur, Senior VicePresident, Commercial, Asia-Pacific and the Middle East talks to us about the growth of inflight connectivity and the plans for the future.

22

Aerospace Singapore

Tell us more about SES and its role in the growing demand for inflight connectivity. How does SES support the aviation industry?

SES is the world’s largest satellite operator by revenue, with a fleet of over 50 satellites covering 99 percent of the world’s population. Besides aeronautical connectivity, we provide satellite communications services to broadcasters, content and internet service providers, mobile and fixed network operators, and business and governmental organisations in Asia-Pacific and around the world.

As a satellite operator, our continued investment into our fleet allows us to deliver high-throughput solutions that fulfil the growing

demand for inflight connectivity.

By 2017, we will launch three hybrid satellites, which combine wide area beams with small, high throughput spot beams. SES-12, SES-14 and SES-15 will provide more comprehensive coverage and greater data throughput, enabling our inflight connectivity (IFC) service provider customers and airlines to better cater to this demand. In many ways this is a self-fulfilling prophecy – as higher quality connectivity is delivered to aircraft, the demand for these services will see exponential growth.

In fact, our service provider customers play a pivotal role in the design process for several of our upcoming satellites. We work closely with them to tailor solutions and design satellites that revolve around their business challenges, demands and needs.

LEFT: Deepak Mathur, Senior VicePresident, Commercial, Asia-Pacific and the Middle East at SES’s office in Singapore

Why are we seeing a higher growth for inflight connectivity today?

In 2016, 3.6 billion passengers are expected to take to the skies, traversing countries, continents and oceans. Air travel is booming, but as it has become ubiquitous, passengers demand more than just a wide variety of airline-provided entertainment. Now accustomed to connectivity on land, passengers increasingly desire connectivity on-the-go. They want to experience the same high-speed connectivity while flying across oceans and continents. They expect seamless connectivity in the skies, be it for social media networking, surfing the Internet, working or checking emails. To stay ahead of the competition, airlines are looking to provide the best-in-class inflight connectivity experience as a differentiator.

Beyond the needs of

passengers, inflight connectivity is also transforming the aviation market in the areas of flight management and maintenance and operations. As an example of flight management, the connected cockpit receives real-time updates on weather and airport conditions, enhancing flight operational efficiency by allowing pilots to adjust the flight plan accordingly to save fuel, cut delays, and avoid turbulence. In maintenance, realtime data collected from the plane in flight is relayed to the ground operations teams via satellite, ensuring that ground staff can ready the technical team and components for maintenance work before the plane lands to save time.

What trends can be expected of onboard Wi-Fi and consumption patterns?

After becoming accustomed to connectivity on land, passengers desire an always-connected experience. They are increasingly using inflight Wi-Fi and consuming more and more data per flight.

While inflight Wi-Fi is still predominantly used for traditional applications such as email and surfing the web, this could soon change with passengers’ rising expectations to stream video, video conference and make phone calls. With the development and adoption of next-generation satellite and IFC technologies gaining pace, it might not be long before streaming YouTube videos and Netflix in High Definition becomes a possibility on most international long-haul flights.

Besides connectivity-on-the-go, multiple-device usage is also on the rise. Most passengers today already carry a minimum of one mobile device onboard planes. As Wi-Fi speeds improve and airlines catch on to the “bring your own

January - April

23

device” trend, inbuilt screens may become a thing of the past. In the last couple of months, an airline has announced it will be taking its inflight system off long-haul flights, and we may see more choosing to do away with seat-back monitors to save costs on installing inflight entertainment systems and licensing inflight entertainment content and reducing weight of the plane, and therefore fuel costs.

How do innovations in satellite technology, such as High Throughput Satellite (HTS), help airlines in meeting the demand of inflight connectivity?

With its concentrated “spot” satellite beams, HTS facilitates greater data transfer than traditional satellite and enables satellite operators to offer highspeed internet connectivity to customers. As demand for IFC and data-intensive applications such as video streaming on planes increases, HTS will offer significantly more bandwidth at cost competitive economics, and deliver an enhanced customer’s broadband connectivity experience. This in turn benefits the aeronautical connectivity value chain. In the very near future, inflight connectivity could become as common as Wi-Fi connectivity in hotels, and most airlines will be able to offer high-speed inflight Wi-Fi to passengers.

Can you share with us some of SES’s strategies in place to improve global offering and the plans to cater to the Asian market?

SES believes in building a future-proof network that is band and architecture agnostic.

The development of HTS has enabled us to offer a wide array of solutions, empowering our

INPROFILE

customers to make informed decisions on what works best for their business needs.

This powerful combination of both HTS payloads and wide beams caters to both high-density and low-density flight routes.

Wide Ku beams, which cover a larger area, are important for low-density and starter routes to achieve better economics, while HTS, with their concentrated beams, can accommodate higher volumes of capacity required over heavily-travelled routes and for bandwidth hungry applications that are increasingly in demand in the skies.

As a global satellite operator, our fleet of more than 50 satellites today has coverage to support inflight connectivity in virtually every region of the world.

Currently, we have invested over US$ 1.2 billion in our three latest hybrid satellites – SES12, SES-14 and SES-15 – which have the best of both worlds with HTS spot beams and traditional beams. These new satellites will serve aeronautical and inflight connectivity markets in highdensity markets or routes.

SES-12 was designed to address the long-term requirements that our customers have been sharing with us. When launched in 2017, SES-12 will deliver HTS data connectivity services, including inflight connectivity, in the Asia Pacific region, enabling our customers to remain competitive by providing an excellent quality of service.

In addition, we have satellites with dedicated mobility beams.

Our SES-6 satellite, for example, supports air traffic and maritime shipping lanes in the North Atlantic region with mobility beams,

while SES-9, which was also tailor-made to meet the needs of our customers in Asia-Pacific, features a mobility beam to provide maritime connectivity to ships traversing the Indian Ocean.

In your opinion, what is the future of inflight connectivity and aeronautical services via satellite?

In relation to soaring demand for inflight connectivity services globally, we expect strong growth in every segment of aeronautical connectivity, from commercial airplanes to military aircraft and business jets. Northern Sky Research (NSR) predicts that the aero in-service units of business jets will increase from 347 in 2015 to 2,169 in 2024 – an almost sixfold increase. As for commercial aircraft, aero in-service units are estimated to increase almost sevenfold, from 2,562 in 2015 to 17,785 in 2024.

In particular, the key regions where we see aeronautical connectivity taking off are North America, Europe and Asia, where the number of satcom in-service units in the Asian continent is anticipated to rise to more than 16,000 in 2024, making up 16.9 percent of global aero sat inservice units.

What can Singapore/Asia look forward to from SES in 2016?

Our newest and largest satellite for Asia-Pacific, SES-9, is expected to become fully operational by 2016.

The satellite will be our 7th in Asia and will provide unparalleled coverage to over 20 countries, serving the region in sectors such as pay-TV, data and mobility.

With its dedicated mobility beam, SES-9 will provide comprehensive coverage over high-traffic maritime routes, such as the Suez Canal and Strait of Malacca.

At SES, our focus is on four market verticals – video, fixed data, mobility and government – where satellite-enabled communications can become essential globally. We see that each vertical has different drivers, dynamics, portfolios and cycles; specific verticals require dedicated capabilities, and we aim to offer smarter and differentiated solutions customised to each.

Looking to the future, our customers can come to expect more value-added services in each vertical as we build differentiating capabilities. We will continue working closely with our industry partners and customers to expand our competitive edge through innovation, and by designing and introducing new offerings and applications.

Blake Emery, Boeing Commercial Airplanes’ Director of Differentiation Strategy

26

Aerospace Singapore

Crafting the ultimate inflight experience Blake Emery is Boeing Commercial Airplanes’ Director of Differentiation Strategy. In his unique job as a cabin design guru, he leads research across different cultures to support the interior and exterior design of Boeing aircraft, and shape the ultimate passenger inflight experience.

Could you tell us what is the role of a Director of Differentiation Strategy?

I get to work on a number of different things because anything is fair game. It could be in the way the airplane looks from the outside and the aspects of the interior that we can control as an airframer, etc. The whole intention of differentiation strategy is to find ways to distinguish our products from the competition that encourage customers to want, prefer or buy our products. In my case, it has been about finding ways to make a lot of things preferred, whether by the flying public or other stakeholders.

What goes into the research of interior and exterior design of a Boeing aircraft?

Beginning with the 787, we made a conscious decision to go to the flying public for ideas on how to design, primarily the interior of the aircraft. I was focusing on economy class, where it can be a tougher experience than in premium cabin, so we look for ways to make that better.

We made use of methods that allow us to get deeper into the psychological needs of the flying public, in what we called as the “unarticulated needs”.

Things that you want and need but you just don’t realise you need them. One of the approaches we used is called an idealised design, where we got people together to imagine and create an airplane interior of

January - April

how or whatever they want it to be. What it allowed us to do was to derive values people have. Once these respondents have painted an idealised picture, you have a direction and can began to take steps in that direction.

Another approach is called the Archetype Discovery; it is based on a particular model of the brain where you are finding out what people need on an emotional and survival level. That’s where you find things that are unarticulated and get ideas. The next thing to do is to vet those ideas.

What we do in the Boeing process is if we have an idea that we think is a good one, we actually conduct experiments with that idea. We have a research vehicle called the Passenger Experience Research Center, which allows us to put people in a mock-up simulation of an airplane. You manipulate a single variable and ask a lot of questions to see if people’s perception of their experience and interior changes for the better or worse based on manipulating that single variable. It is controlled empirical scientific research. That’s a quantitative methodology because you are trying to see if you can get a statistically significant difference in what you are looking into while the Archetype Discovery research is more qualitative because you are getting more qualitative people’s emotions as they describe their experiences.

27

INPROFILE

Can you explain what the Boeing Sky Interior is?

In general, the Boeing Sky Interior is a philosophy, and it is about celebrating being in the air. One of the unarticulated needs we discovered is that people’s first experience with flying in every culture we have been to so far, is a very positive experience.

And so, everything we do in the Boeing Sky Interior philosophy is designed to keep you connected to the experience of flight.

Take for example the dimmable windows; if you think that the philosophy is to keep you connected with flying, then a window that is transferred into a wall breaks that connection, but if you have a window that is bigger and high enough in the fuselage so that everyone in the airplane can experience looking out a window, the connection stays on. Now if the window dims in such a way that you can cut out the amount of light so that it’s not bothering to some but you never have to because you control the setting, you don’t have to lose that connection with the outside world at all. That’s an example of applying that philosophy.

How has your background in psychology helped in creating ‘airplanes for people’?

The type of psychology that I studied was called interpersonal psychology and that has an interesting meaning from the way I studied that discipline.

Interpersonal psychology means it’s a study of the relationship between people, in which the idea of ‘people’ has a very special meaning. For example, what is it that makes us human and how in the act of communicating face-to-

face can the human in us be recognised and therefore, people experience each other in a deeper way. It is really interesting to me because of what I have had the opportunity to do in my career and to apply that psychology from the standpoint of dealing with people one-onone. I spent a lot of time within the Boeing company as an organisation psychologist where I helped teams work really well together, and then I was able to transfer that to consumer psychology, which is the relationship between a person and a physical product. It has been fascinating for me.

What have you noticed so far in regards to passenger preferences or experiences?

The thing that fascinates people the most are the windows.

For example on the 787, these were built higher up in the fuselage which totally changes the experience inside the cabin, and we utilised electrochromic technology which allows the passenger a lot of control over the amount of light that comes into the cabin. People are fascinated with the feature.

What is the future of interior like? What are some cabin design trends that we can expect to see?

There is a tremendous amount going on with light and we are going to see a lot of things happening that will give passengers a full immersive experience. I think transitioning through the immersive experiences, we will see more

28

use of virtual technology in the airplane. We are seeing virtual reality showing up in a lot of places, the leaps and bounds in that technology is really fascinating. It is going to be the most economical way to fool the brain into thinking that we are in a bigger space than we are as airlines look to save up space in the aircraft. The technology is getting really good at that.

“

In general, the Boeing Sky Interior is a philosophy, and it is about celebrating being in the air.

”

First class is also going through some changes. Lately though, there has been some first class that are a bit more rational and I don’t mean that in a judgmental sense. The airlines have been doing the over-the-top thing and it has been tremendous for their brands. Now we are seeing more subdued first classes and one of the things that is really neat to me personally is a lot of airlines are using the delivery of the first 787-9 to introduce some of their new products.

AeroEdu/Youth

The Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD), the country’s fourth public university, is offering courses to prepare students for careers in the aerospace industry – an area of study that is growing in popularity among youths today.

SUTD’s novel multidisciplinary project-based curriculum, with a strong emphasis in design, ensures that students get hands-on training so they are able to give physical form to their creations.

S

UTD students are required to go through a common curriculum in the “freshmore” year which aids them in building a strong foundation in mathematics and science. From the sophomore year onwards, students can then pick from four academic majors or pillars to specialise in, namely: Architecture and Sustainable Design (ASD) Engineering Product Development (EPD) Engineering Systems and Design (ESD) Information Systems Technology and Design (ISTD)

Giving Youths a Hands-on Experience with Aerospace Technologies

30

Aerospace Singapore

With the holistic and interdisciplinary nature of the education at SUTD, students gain a versatile set of skills, which will allow them to enter various areas in the aerospace industry. Students from EPD will learn the fundamentals of aeronautics and use them to design and build aircrafts as well as other aerial vehicles. They will also gain knowledge, skills and experience in transportation technologies, control systems, signal processing, wireless communication, electronics design, machine and engineering design, exposing them to advanced and future concepts in transportation.

Meanwhile, students from ESD will learn about the internal processing of materials into finished goods, and the distribution of finished goods to end consumers, giving them the opportunity to design and manage

the manufacturing processes via supply chain systems. Students from ISTD will learn how to design and build information systems that can be applied in a wide variety of areas, aerospace industry no less.

As interdisciplinary projectbased work is a fundamental principle in SUTD’s curriculum, final year students have to do a capstone project spanning eight months. The capstone project can be industry commissioned or entrepreneurial in nature and requires students to work as a team with students of other pillars to complete the project. This is in line with most real world situations where large-scale projects usually require people from multiple disciplines to work on them.

In addition to the regular curriculum, co-curricular activities known as “Fifth Row” is highly valued at SUTD. The Multi-Rotor Society (MRS), a club under SUTD’s “Fifth Row”, strives

Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) SUTD, established in collaboration with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), offers a world class education built upon a unique multidisciplinary curriculum enriched with hands-on experience in cuttingedge projects and research conducted in state-of-the-art facilities.

to make aerospace technology interesting and approachable to youths. The MRS tries to do this in a variety of ways, such as through outreach activities, conducting of workshops, participating in competitions and even setting up its own start-up company to provide aerial filming services. SUTD’s MRS participated in competitions like, the ‘Singapore Amazing Flying Machine Competition’ (where it received the ‘Most Creative Award’ for its design in 2015), and the ‘Autonomous Aerial Vehicle Challenge’ held in Thailand in 2014, where the team came in fourth.

At the ‘Aerial Craft Design’ workshops conducted by SUTD/ MRS faculty members and supported by the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) and the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) of Singapore, youths from various local schools were taught how to digitally design drones from scratch. They were then shown how to use advanced laser-cutting technology at SUTD’s Fabrication Laboratory (Fab Lab) to print out the customised parts of their design, and subsequently assemble and build their prototype

drone. The youths were also given a chance to bring their prototype drones out for a test run to see if their designs really worked. Such workshops are popular and help boost youths’ interest in aerospace technology as it gives them a taste of designing and testing out the feasibility of their own ideas.

In 2014, the drone-passionate students from the MRS decided to set up a start-up company (HALOGRAM ASIA PTE LTD) to provide specialised aerial videography and photography services. They achieved this by creating a multi-coptor, which was also manufactured at SUTD’s Fab Lab, using stateof-the-art water-jet technology to create a thin and light frame from a single piece of highgrade aluminium and equipping it with a self-stabilising video camera. Thus far, the start-up has filmed various large scale events in Singapore including the Singapore Night Festival, River Hong Bao, Singapore Gardens Festival and the DBS Marina Regatta, just to name a few.

At SUTD, such Fifth Row activities are strongly encouraged; the MRS students are empowered to experiment their ideas for new aerospacerelated technologies.

especially in Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering. The main emphasis on outcomebased learning along with WIL, PBL and work experience makes RMIT Engineering graduates immediately work-ready, after the completion of the engineering programmes.

AO: The Aerospace and Mechanical Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) degrees are world-class qualifications that give students the skills they need to work as a professional engineer in any context. RMIT is ranked among the leading universities for engineering in Australia and the world, and is highly rated by global employers. The degrees reflect this standard of excellence and maintain RMIT’s proud focus on graduating students that are ready for work and life.

of the industry, thus producing highly employable graduates.

The Bachelor of Engineering programmes are well suited for the working professionals with a polytechnic diploma and who are busy building a career, or for the recent diploma graduates who wish to acquire higher qualifications. All the relevant polytechnic graduates are exempted from the first two years of the programme and can gain direct entry into Year 3.

FA: RMIT University is one of the pioneering institutes to introduce Work Integrated Learning (WIL), Problem/Project Based Learning (PBL) and compulsory work experience or industrial placement in Engineering programmes

“

The programmes are internationally-recognised and industry-focused as well as directly relevant to industry demands.

”

How does the Kaplan environment help in educating and preparing students for the workforce?

CR: Kaplan provides the necessary platform for students by providing qualified, experienced pool of academics, excellent classrooms, computer laboratories and

33

library facilities. Also, Kaplan administrative staff provides the necessary support for programme management, and will directly liaise with the university authorities to help and guide the students.

AO: Kaplan is a top-ranked private education institution in Singapore as voted by students, so it has the expertise in providing a quality education experience.

This includes giving students the support they need to get the best out of their studies. There’s a vibrant and dynamic environment, and a culture of forward-looking students wanting to excel and develop themselves.

What can students expect taking up the Bachelor of Engineering programmes with RMIT? CR: The students can expect to advance their career prospects by transforming front line engineers to research and design engineers, and improve their overall performance at the workplace.

They also can expect to be ready to take up higher responsibilities at their workplace.

In addition, students can also expect the courses to provide a comprehensive theory and application of engineering principles, application of engineering tools and techniques and design processes. Also, they can expect to improve their oral and written communication skills in their professional domain and the necessary skills to manage and lead a pool of workers.

FA: Students are expected to undertake a variety of learning activities such as face-to-face classes in Singapore, handson laboratory practices and

AeroEdu/Youth

specialised workshops through residential visits to RMIT’s Melbourne campus, online resources, individual and group projects, etc. in the programme.

A wide range of assessments is used to assess student’s learning outcomes.

AO: Students can expect to be challenged from the first day. The degree combines fundamental knowledge in engineering science with specialist technical knowledge in the mechanical and aerospace disciplines. The curriculum is designed in close collaboration with industry to be work-relevant and have a real-world focus.

Project-based learning is a key tool that is frequently used to get students replicating engineering work practices and engaging more deeply with their studies.

What do lecturers hope to expect of students in these programmes?

FA: A lecturer or educator expects students to engage in active learning through which they will develop specialised knowledge,

“ ”

All students are inquisitive, which is one of our defIning human characteristics

BELOW: Students are exposed to hands-on engineering analysis

applicability of knowledge and various soft skills such as communication, teamwork, innovative thinking, engineering ethics, leadership, sustainability, etc. All students should have basic math skills, inquisitiveness and ‘can do’ attitudes.

AO: The degrees are offered to those with a mechanical or aerospace Diploma qualification, so as a start, a strong foundation in mechanical engineering fundamentals is a must. Beyond that, lecturers are looking for students that want to be challenged to expand their knowledge and capabilities, and who are actively engaged with their study and can relate it to industry and the world around them.

As a lecturer, what do you see as some of the most common traits among students?

CR: Though engineering students are not much different from students of other disciplines, the part-time engineering students tend to work in groups and are generally more analytic and problemsolving. Also, they are quick to relate the theory learnt in classroom to real life engineering situations. Generally, they are more disciplined with good time management skills.

AO: All students are inquisitive, which is one of our defining human characteristics, and particularly evident in engineers who always want to know how things work. It is the lecturer’s challenge to find a way to engage this curiosity for each student, to trigger and guide the learning process. Successful students are commonly not only just interested, but committed to their studies, and flexible in their study practices to suit the needs at hand.

What are some of the interesting modules offered in the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering degree programmes?

CR: The core curriculum of mechanical engineering programme include Dynamics, Vibrations, Solid Mechanics, Fluid Mechanics, Heat and Refrigeration, Engineering Controls, Management of Design and a major of engineering project work. Similarly, the aerospace engineering core curriculum includes Dynamics, Aerodynamics, Flight Mechanics,

34

Aerospace Singapore

Aerospace Structures, Design and Research and a major project work.

The students undertake a variety of engineering project works mostly related to their workplace. Some of the past project works done by our students are improving the operational efficiency (productivity) in a variety of scenarios in the manufacturing industry, design of pumps, robotic arms, and several activities related to manufacturing, repair and overhaul of aircrafts.

AO: A feature of both degrees is the capstone project, which is conducted over two teaching periods (or about 8 months) at the end of the degree. This is a research-driven project that demonstrates advanced professional engineering skills.

Students are expected to work under minimal supervision, and be responsible for the technical aspects, the project management, and the communication requirements.

Students working in industry and studying at the same time typically take projects directly from their workplace.

This provides a lot of benefits, particularly in tackling a relevant and real-world challenge and conducting the project in the workplace. Examples of typical projects include resolving a specific technical challenge, designing prototypes for new components or systems, or developing improvements to products and systems. Projects commonly involve detailed design work, experimental testing or computational analysis, and often these are combined.

ABOVE: Hands-on experience at RMIT oncampus lab

In terms of industry relevance, how does this course help enhance the development of the industry in Singapore?

CR: In Singapore, RMIT University has been delivering the Bachelor of Engineering (Mechanical Engineering) Honours programme, producing graduates who are working in various industries.

Some of these graduates have their own small scale industries directly contributing to the development of industry in Singapore.

A former graduate of the programme, Mr Philip Chan Kok Leong, devised improvements to the pivot valve design at the water tanks to reduce wastage from water overflows, and has proceeded to obtain the relevant clearances to implement the design for Asia Square Tower One. He won PUB’s Watermark Award 2015.

AO: Engineers are in demand in Singapore in a wide range of industries, which have been recognised by the Singapore Government and industry associations for some time. The industry is growing and expanding in Singapore at a rapid rate, and professional engineers are

needed to steer this development and design new solutions for increasingly complex problems.

With reference to talent development, what can be done to retain the talent and skilled labour?

CR: We should have a well-defined career planning and provide new opportunities to learn and grow.

FA: In order to nurture, develop and retain talents in the industry, the sectors need to commit for the continuous professional development through formal and informal short-term and longterm training and up-skilling programmes. The industry also need to provide a clear career pathway.

AO: The talent is very capable, as there are a lot of quality educations institutions preparing students for the next step in their professional development. One strategy for talent retention is to provide opportunities and support for ongoing development.

rom conceptualisation to actual construction, the Nanyang Polytechnic’s School of Engineering has been working on achieving a first with a student-built aircraft. Since 2014, students from the Diploma in Aeronautical & Aerospace Technology programme have been given the opportunity to build the short take-off landing CH750 aircraft in phases as part of their final-year project. To date, eight NYP students have successfully completed this assignment with more students expected to take part in the project. The plane includes the glass cockpit and instrumentation.

Beyond the opportunity to work on the first made-in-a-poly plane, students are exposed to comprehensive learning through the campus’s 3D Immersive Virtual Reality Centre. The simulated airport environment platform allows students to fully understand the various roles and responsibilities of aerospace personnel, and discover the best practices/ procedures in the regulated aviation industry while assembling the aircraft.

Two final-year students share about this real-life experience in helping them prepare for the future workforce.

Leon Chong, 28 “The project has allowed me to fully understand the demands and expectations of the aviation industry even before I step out to the workforce. I am very grateful for this opportunity as not everyone has the chance to build an aircraft, especially a full-scale functional one.

“My team and I are proud to have completed this project. We worked in pairs and took part in every step of the process. It was also our first time working with each other and the experience has taught me a lot about being responsible and working in a team. I was initially concerned about the handover process as we all worked separately on different parts.

However, with clear communication and a close working relationship, the handover process was a smooth one. Everyone was so involved that we regularly checked up on each other regarding the progress.

“A lot of hard work and dedication were being put into this labour of love. We had to be discipline and meticulous in each of our part so that when it is all being put together, the aircraft works as it should. We also have a very close working relationship with our lecturer, Mr Poh, who guided us throughout this highly-skilled project. It is very exciting to be part of such a dynamic team; potential students should make the most out of this opportunity and learn as much as they can.”

Muhammad Hariz Roslan, 22 “I really enjoyed building the Short Take-Off Landing CH750 aircraft from scratch and seeing it through to completion. There is a lot of satisfaction to see it progress to an aircraft that will be able to fly. I came into the project expecting it to be somewhat challenging, and it was. It was very challenging to visualise the initial drawings as we did to the actual part of the aircraft. It took a lot of precision and patience to ensure the measurements were accurate. The project not only tested my knowledge and skills but also my ability to work in a team. I also learned to be meticulous in putting together my documents.

“As we worked in a team, every input matters and every mistake also matters so we were always striving to find the best solution.

I believe team work and flexibility are two of the most important requirements needed.

We complement each other’s strengths and weaknesses, and continuously find solutions to adapt and complete the project to the best of our abilities.

“To future students, the challenges are always going to be there. The key is to strive to be innovative and creative in finding solutions together as a team.”

W No flight of fancy Cars can’t fly yet, but autonomous or selfdriving cars aren’t merely a flight of fancy it’s the latest trend in the automotive industry.

We take a look at three sleek examples from Mercedes-Benz, Audi and Nissan.

hile car ads often depict driving as a fun and adventurous activity, that’s not the reality for many urban dwellers faced with choked roads, challenging weather and bad road manners. The daily commute is a stressful and hazardous necessity.

But what if you do not have to lay a finger (or toe) for the car to move, brake and steer?

What if you can have breakfast and read the papers while the car drives itself to the office?

What if you no longer need to worry every time your elderly parents get behind the wheel?

Cars that drive themselves are already in existence, guided by sensors, cameras and processors. Tech companies such as Google and traditional automakers are testing and finetuning their lab work on public roads from the Silicon Valley to Tokyo. The future of motoring could be closer than we think.

Mercedes-Benz F015 Luxury in Motion It may look like an alien machine from another world, but the MercedesBenz F015 Luxury in Motion – revealed at last year’s Consumer Electronics Show – has been sampled by journalists, and some of its autonomous technology appears in the just-unveiled E-Class sedan.

A lounge on wheels with a dynamic silhouette, the 5.2-metre F015’s wheelbase (at 3,610 mm) is longer than that of Mercedes’ flagship Maybach limousine.

The design focus was on providing maximum cabin space, and access is similarly breezy. “Saloon doors” that open 90 degrees, rear-hinged rear doors and the absence of B-pillars

invite you into this moving four-seat private club.

Armed with an “Extended Sense” system – which consists of stereo cameras, radar and ultrasonic sensors – the F015 constantly monitors its surroundings in a 360-degree radius.

It can communicate with pedestrians and traffic both visually and acoustically, via LED displays at both ends (blue in autonomous mode, white in manual mode, capable of short messages such as ‘SLOW’ or ‘STOP’), a laser projection system for the front, plus sounds and specific spoken instructions.

Audi R8 e-tron Piloted Driving Concept The Audi R8 e-tron is already a marvel – a highperformance, zero-emissions sports car that can sprint from 0-100 km/h in 3.9 seconds, and travel up to 450 km on a single battery charge.

This Piloted Driving Concept adds on autonomous capabilities. An army of laser scanners, video cameras and ultrasonic sensors collect data for the car’s central computer to create a virtual picture of the environment, which the car can steer through by itself.

But with such performance on tap, many would take up the option to be in full control themselves.

If the R8 e-tron Piloted Driving Concept looks familiar, that’s because it’s based on the secondgeneration of Iron Man’s sports car. The latest R8 is sharper than the original, with a wide and flat Singleframe grille flanked by optional laser lamps. The R8’s characteristic side blades are now divided into two for a longer and more dynamic appearance.

Prior to the R8 Piloted Driving Concept, Audi has been testing autonomous tech on its RS7 and A7 models, and ex-Audi board member for technical development, Dr. Ulrich Hackenberg says that the technology is ready for series production and customer roll-out.

Nissan IDS Concept The Nissan IDS Concept made its debut at the 2015 Tokyo Motor Show last October. The futuristiclooking, carbon fibre-bodied four-seater hatchback has autonomous capabilities, but allows the driver to take charge with the press of a button.

In Piloted Drive mode, the IDS drives itself, but the car’s performance – acceleration, braking and cornering – imitates the driver’s style and preferences.

He or she has control in Manual Drive mode, but in the event of imminent danger, the IDS will assist the driver in taking evasive action.

Each drive mode has its own unique dashboard and cabin. In Piloted, a large screen takes centre

The car’s silver side body line is actually an LED strip that Nissan calls the Intention Indicator.

When pedestrians or cyclists are in proximity, the strip shines red – a sign that the IDS is aware of their presence. Another display, at the bottom of the windscreen, can flash messages such as ‘After you’ to other road users.
