TERRAPIN X is a rugged handheld laser rangefinder by Safran Vectronix, offering up to 3,000 m range with 8× magnification, Class 1 eye-safe laser (905 nm), and a 28 mm objective lens. It features precise beam divergence (1.2 × 0.5 mrad), slope and azimuth compensation, scan mode (≥2 readings/sec), and durable Ryton® housing with shock-resistant rubber armor (IP67). Advanced Bluetooth connectivity integrates with mobile apps and devices such as Kestrel LiNK, Garmin, Strelok Pro, and includes a dedicated smartphone app.

i3system’s line scanning X-ray detector platform, XID-C15DP/XID-C24DC, is a high performance and cost effective solution for dental panoramic, cephalometric applications. i3system’s direct type sensor ensures the most sharp images among the current products in the market. XID series is designed for compact size and easy installation. High DQE(Direct Quant㎛ Efficiency) enables high performance at lower dose of X-ray. Introduction Indirect type X-ray detector uses the scintillator and the photo-diode(CCD or CMOS sensor) for conversion of the X-ray into the light and for taking images espectively. But the light scatters and goes extinct during it passes through the scintillator and reaches to the CCD or CMOS sensor. As a result, it is inevitable to get blurred image. In the mean time, XID C15DP, direct type detector, converts X-rays into electronic signals directly without conversion process of light. Because X-ray is not converted into light, it provides much sharper images than indirect type detector. XID C15DP is designed to compact for easy installation. It provides Gigabit Ethernet port on the detector for easy configuration. Instead of Gigabit Ethernet, camera link or optical interface can be provided according to requirements of users.

The member companies of GIFAS employ 195,000 people in their aerospace activities in France. These figures do not include temporary workers or the total number of suppliers and subcontractors; this field is estimated to be responsible for 350,000 jobs in France. Our sector is constantly in demand.

R HUGHES' Ca-Zoom PTZ 140 is a Pan-Tilt Zoom Camera inspection equipment equipped with the Ca-Zoom® 6.2 system. This equipment is capable of a total of 432x zoom with 36x optical zoom and 12x digital zoom, increasing inspection efficiency. In addition, two high-performance 35W lights are installed in the light source to enable more smooth inspection. The inspection technology of the PTZ Camera Ca-Zoom® line of products makes them ideal for inspecting large areas that are difficult for humans to access, such as tanks, vessels, pipelines or nuclear power plants.

The focus on buy-to-fly ratios highlights the contributing role that near net shape processing can offer. This has undoubtedly been a driver in increasing this service offering from AMA. As a major contributor in the aircraft manufacturing supply chain, this is a key area of development for AMA and its companies. Customers are increasingly looking to optimise their production processes. This is primarily driven by the need to maximise their own spindle time for core business activities, with AMA therefore undertaking some of the machining processes. It can take many forms, from simple cutting to more intricate processing in which near net shape pieces are supplied. Even in AMA businesses whose business is predominantly transactional (so called ‘spot business’) rather than contractual, the processing element is increasing. Pre-machined kits of parts to individual specifications are becoming more commonplace. In addition to freeing up time for customers and OEMs to focus on more profitable final processing, near net shape processes can improve product quality, reduce variability and enhance component design functionality. As the industry continues to search for ways to lower buy-to-fly ratios and reduce the amount of waste, near net shape processing will have a greater role to play.

The AB-U60 is a 60kg-class vectored-thrust eVTOL aircraft designed for surveillance and emergency logistics. Developed in response to the growing global demand for disaster response and urgent logistics solutions, the AB-U60 can be adapted for a variety of industries, including wildfire monitoring, anti-drone operations, and ship resupply. It combines an advanced fanjet electric propulsion system with a hybrid energy source to achieve high-speed flight and extended endurance. Airbility’s AB-U60 provides key advantages over competitors, offering high-speed flight of up to 200 km/h and vertical takeoff and landing capabilities for operations in confined spaces. Its low-noise fanjet propulsion system makes it suitable for both urban and suburban missions. The aircraft is also equipped with real-time data analysis and AI-based autonomous flight control systems. These features enable more efficient and safer operations.

The aviation industry was hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic and is only now beginning to recover. We convened industry leaders from Honeywell Aerospace and asked what carriers can expect in the short-to-midterm as they emerge from the downturn.
