The first Airbus #A330MRTT for Canada🍁 (STTC) continues to make steady progress at our conversion centre in Getafe, Spain.
🔜 The next major milestone will be its maiden flight, a key milestone for this tanker aircraft destined to protect Canada’s sovereignty and enhance operations both in NORAD and in NATO.

Se ha filtrado el video de seguridad del choque entre un avión de Air Canada y un camión de bomberos en el aeropuerto LaGuardia. ✈️🚒 Un accidente devastador que dejó dos pilotos fallecidos y varios heridos anoche en Nueva York.
Arranca la primera jornada de demostración tecnológica de la Base Aérea Conectada, Sostenible e Inteligente #BACSI, un proyecto del @EjercitoAire que impulsa la transformación de sus bases hacia modelos más digitales, eficientes y sostenibles.
Se gradúan en España un 30% menos de ingenieros que hace 8 años
España pierde ingenieros. En 2018 hubo 25.750 egresados en ingenierías mientras que en 2025 hubo 18.000, una pérdida de 7.750 ingenieros. El sueldo medio con 4 años de experiencia es de 35.000€ brutos anuales, menos que un policia, menos que un profesor y ligeramente más que una cajera del Mercadona tras 4 años.
2.400 ingenieros civiles menos
1.750 ingenieros en tecnologías industriales menos
900 ingenieros mecánicos menos

May we present? This is the Valkyrie.
Airbus is working at full throttle to offer the German Air Force an operational Uncrewed Collaborative Combat Aircraft (UCCA) system by 2029. In Manching, near Munich, the company is currently preparing the first two Valkyries it acquired from its US partner Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, Inc. with a sovereign European mission system, the Multiplatform Autonomous Reconfigurable and Secure (MARS) system, for their maiden flight. MARS also contains an AI-supported software brain called MindShare which not only replaces the missing pilot, but is also capable of coordinating entire mission groups by being distributed across many manned and uncrewed platforms.
They are scheduled to fly later this year.

SAS Airbus A320neo almost collided with a temporary fence as it aborted taking off from a taxiway at Brussels Airport in February.
The preliminary report published on Friday by Belgian authorities says the aircraft had reached 127 kt IAS before the thrust levers were moved to full reverse, and braking applied. Observing the end of the taxiway and a fence approaching, the first officer instructed a right turn to avoid hitting it.
The captain, having observed that the forward view appeared increasingly narrow, did not respond immediately. The first officer later reported finding it unusual that the captain did not respond in accordance with SOPs, as normally expected. The first officer looked outside and immediately recognized that the aircraft was not on a runway. The first officer stated, “No, this is wrong,” and subsequently issued the command, “Stop, stop, stop, stop.” The captain initiated the stop almost immediately.
The aircraft was not equipped with the optional Airbus Runway Overrun Prevention System (ROPS), nor with RAAS (Runway Awareness and Advisory System), a system offered by Honeywell.
Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) has already initiated the process of acquiring Airport Moving Map (AMM) functionality, which displays the aircraft’s real-time position on high-precision airport maps and enhances pilots’ positional and situational awareness during ground operations.
The validation and analysis of parameters, as well as the analysis of the occurrence as a whole, are still ongoing.
