(London) Martin-Baker has been awarded a contract to provide the escape system for the Republic of Koreas Air Force’s new fighter, KF-X.
Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI) competitively selected Martin-Baker’s Mk18 ejection seat for its latest aircraft development programme. The selection of the Mk18 seat continues a long history of partnership between Martin-Baker and KAI, that started with their KT-1, followed by the T/A-50 and is now is set to continue with the KF-X.
“We are extremely honoured to have been chosen as the ejection seat supplier for the KF-X. The Mk18 ejection seat is the most advanced ejection seat ever produced for fighter and trainer aircraft and another in a long line of successes for our company,” said Andrew Martin, Vice President of Business Development and Marketing. “This selection is a testament to the competitive and high-quality products our team are proud to produce.”
“From our first life saved nearly 70 years ago we have built upon our legacy of success,” Martin said. “Our products have saved the lives of 7,563 aircrew from around the world.”
The Martin-Baker Mk18 for KF-X is a similar seat to the one currently in competition for the US Air Force new trainer jet, the T-X.

Por razones que aun se desconocen, el copiloto de un avión militar se eyectó mientras realizaba un vuelo de ejercicio. El piloto logró completar exitosamente un aterrizaje de emergencia.
Un ingeniero fue internado este viernes luego de eyectarse cuando realizaba como copiloto un vuelo de prueba a bordo de un avión Pampa en Córdoba, cerca de la zona rural de Río Tercero, informaron Defensa Civil local y el cuartel de bomberos de Almafuerte.
El incidente se registró esta mañana y tuvo como protagonista a Renato Juárez, de 40 años, quien habría entrado en pánico luego de que se volara la cúpula de la aeronave por motivos que se tratan de establecer.
Las primeras informaciones aseguran que Juárez cayó en un campo ubicado entre las localidades de Almafuerte y Río Tercero, donde fue asistido por lugareños, que llamaron a la Policía.
El operativo para encontrar y atender al copiloto eyectado incluyó la utilización de helicópteros, con paramédicos que lo derivaron al Hospital Regional de Río Tercero.
Fuentes policiales consultadas por la agencia de noticias Télam informaron que el hombre estaba bien pese a las heridas, y permanece en el centro asistencial para una evaluación general.
El oficial de Bomberos de Almafuerte Gastón Fileas aseguró que el copiloto fue trasladado hacia el centro de salud "descompuesto". También relató que se estaban buscando algunas partes de la nave, como la butaca del copiloto y la cúpula.
El avión militar Pampa había despegado desde la Escuela de Aviación Militar de Córdoba, y pudo aterrizar en el mismo lugar sin inconvenientes.
Comunicado de la Fuerza Aérea
La Fuerza Aérea Argentina informa que en horas de la mañana del día de la fecha y mientras realizaba un vuelo enmarcado dentro del programa de mantenimiento establecido, un avión IA-63 Pampa II, bajo órbita de la Fabrica Argentina de Aviones “Brigadier San Martín”, sufrió un incidente (desprendimiento de cúpula) y por causas también a esclarecer, la eyección del copiloto de la aeronave.Ante la circunstancia, el oficial al mando de la máquina, realizó las maniobras establecidas para aterrizar la aeronave en la pista de la Escuela de Aviación Militar. Finalizadas las mismas con éxito, el piloto descendió sin presentar lesión alguna, al tiempo que la aeronave solo sufrió el daño detallado.
Se puso en funcionamiento el operativo que llevó adelante el equipo de Búsqueda y Salvamento de la fuerza, que concretó el rescate del oficial de la institución en proximidades de la localidad cordobesa de Almafuerte, desde donde fue trasladado a un nosocomio de la zona para constatar su estado de salud.
Las autoridades del área dieron parte a la Junta de Investigación de Accidentes a fin de que se determinen las causas que motivaron el mencionado suceso.

Uruguay compra asientos eyectables en Argentina
FAU compra asientos eyectables para A-37B en Argentina
La Fuerza Aérea Uruguaya compró el asiento eyectable completo para sus Cessna A-37B a una subsidiaria Argentina, un avión 20 años mas viejo que nuestros A-4AR y aquí algunos jefes andan "llorando por los rincones" porque dicen que no se consiguen cartuchos para nuestros asientos. Por caros que puedan salir, siempre va a ser mas barato que comprar UN SOLO AVIÓN NUEVO DE COMBATE....!!!! o a caso es mejor quedarnos sin nada?????

Asientos eyectables para los PC-21 de Australia
PC-21 Aircraft MRO to Commence in 2018
Defence Connect
RAAF PC-21 aircraft
Martin-Baker Australia and Pilatus Aircraft have signed a letter of intent for Martin-Baker Australia to provide ejection seat maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) for the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) PC-21 aircraft.
The agreement between the companies proposes a seven-year firm fixed price solution with rolling contract change proposals out to 20 years.
Martin-Baker Australia's managing director Andrew Eden said the arrangement is the best fit for the performance-based contract.
"This arrangement makes sense under a performance-based contract, we are best able to provide this service efficiently and manage and control the risk and liability associated with our product and this proposal flows that down to us," said Eden.
"It represents the same partnership with Pilatus for through-life support and sustainment that we have during design, development and production."
ISO9001:2015 certification of the Martin-Baker integrated management system (IMS) was granted last week by Southpac Aerospace. This IMS covers both quality and safety management within the company and provides the foundation for the future DASR Part 145 Maintenance Organisation Exposition.

Martin-Baker director of business development and marketing Andrew Martin said the services within this agreement are a good reflection of why the company formed an Australian subsidiary.
"The services covered by this agreement are the reason we formed Martin-Baker Australia," said Martin. "To provide the best possible sustainment solutions to our end users at the best possible price. To take this from the idea in our board room to potentially a life of type agreement on a large fleet of aircraft like the RAAF PC-21 is a great achievement."
Rob Oliver, Pilatus’ director defence Australia, said, "We’re looking forward to this partnership and are pleased to continue our long relationship with Martin-Baker; a comprehensive service arrangement for the egress systems with the OEM of the ejection seats is a robust and elegant solution. This also increases our commitment to a new in-country Australian industry capability supporting the PC-21."
The first maintenance under the agreement will be due in mid-2018, ramping up to full capacity within two years.
The RAAF said the Pilatus PC-21 is the world’s most advanced pilot training aircraft. As part of the AIR 5428 Pilot Training System project, the PC-21 will replace Air Force’s current PC-9/A and CT-4B aircraft.
In March this year, the RAAF's PC-21 pilot training system was declared a significant leap forward in pilot training by Minister for Defence Personnel Dan Tehan.

Asientos eyectables Zvezda para los Pampa III
FAdeA's Aerospace Rebound
With Pampa III and Other Deals, Argentinian Firm Ends Dormant Period
PARIS — Relegated to the maintenance and upgrade business when its assembly activities collapsed in the late 1990s, Argentina’s FAdeA hopes to return as a force in the Latin American aerospace market. That includes projects to revive its Pampa jet trainer, assemble Chinese helicopters and partner with Embraer in the KC-390 airlifter program.
State-owned FAdeA — Fabrica Argentina de Aviones “Brig. San Martin” — was out of the airframe business for 14 years before a recent effort to build a new version of the IA-63 Pampa trainer/light attack aircraft resulted in a restart of aircraft assembly.
Before the government took back ownership in 2009, operations were ceded to Lockheed Martin, which performed maintenance of the C-130 Hercules at the company’s site in Cordoba.
The company has been around since 1927 and has designed several fighters, including the Pulqui I, the region’s first combat jet, and the Pulqui II.
FAdeA President Raul Argañaraz joked with reporters at the Paris Air Show last week that one day there might be a Pulqui III.
The new jet-engined Pampa III trainer/light attack aircraft, meanwhile, carries a full glass cockpit supplied by Israel’s Elbit Systems and a host of other updated systems supplied by the likes of Israel Aerospace Industries, Honeywell, Rockwell Collins, Liebherr, Sagem and others.
Intriguingly, the suppliers list has been joined by Russian ejection seat builder Zvezda. The move came after FAdeA was banned from installing a British-made Martin-Baker ejection seat on the orders of President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner’s government, according to the FAdeA boss.
Arganaraz told reporters that the ban had been imposed to “guarantee autonomy” of the Pampa III trainer.
Argentina fought a war with the British in the early 1980s over sovereignty of the Falkland Islands and recently the two nations have been at diplomatic loggerheads over the issue, with the Argentine president again raising the temperature over ownership of the South Atlantic islands.
A Martin-Baker Mk10 seat had been used in an earlier version of the aircraft. Arganaraz said the Martin-Baker equipment could be fitted if export customers specified it and the British company wanted to work with them. However, the world-leading British-designed system would not be used in any of the trainer or light tactical aircraft scheduled for delivery to the local armed forces starting mid-2014.
Eighteen of the Pampa IIIs will be for trainer duties, with the remainder of the order of 40 to be for light attack.
The FAdeA president said the Pampa III would make its first flight in December. Target production, including exports, is 100 aircraft, and the company is also looking at a single-seat design, Arganaraz said.
FAdeA signed a pact with German company Grob to offer a training package, including the Pampa III and an elementary flying trainer from the European concern.
Aside from the new Pampa, FAdeA is building a prototype of the CATIC CZ-11 helicopter known locally as the Pampero and is already well into a flight test program.
The plan is to set up its first helicopter production line for local and regional sales of the Eurocopter-derived design.
FAdeA is also involved in a 12-nation effort to develop a new primary/basic trainer. Arganaraz said the partners, which include Brazil, Chile and an array of smaller Latin American countries, are 90 percent through discussions on a way ahead for the Unasur 1.
The company, along with other regional and European aerospace concerns, is also aligned with Latin American aerospace powerhouse Embraer in the Brazilian company’s KC-390 twin-jet airlifter.
FAdeA signed a deal in 2011 to produce a range of structures for the C-130 rival, including spoilers, doors, flap fairings and tail cone.
Argentina is committed to buying six KC-390s in an order book so far dominated by the Brazilian Air Force.
Announcing a marketing deal with Boeing for the airlifter at the Paris show, Embraer said it believed there was a market for up to 700 KC-390s.
