#valdoise / #iledefrance / #ParisRegion / #ChooseIDF / #RATP / #GroupeADP / #AAM / #Volocopter : "Paris to test flying cabs during 2024 Olympics" (Article Le Monde) Mini-helicopters carrying a pilot and a passenger will conduct test flights during this summer's competition, despite the environmental authority's disapproval. On Wednesday, June 12, just a few weeks before the opening of the Paris Olympic and Paralympic Games, the first flying cabs to operate in France were given the go-ahead to carry out experimental flights in the Paris region during the Olympics. And this despite several unfavorable opinions from the authorities. Commercial use has remained out of the question. Transportation Minister Patrice Vergriete has only "authorized an experiment," said a nonetheless pleased Edward Arkwright, deputy CEO of Groupe ADP, which has been leading the venture. For the past few days, and at breakneck speed, the airport operator has been installing a vertiport on a barge anchored just a stone's throw from the Gare d'Austerlitz train station and at the foot of the Cité du Design et de la Mode, in Paris's 13th arrondissement. It is intended to house the German manufacturer Volocopter's futuristic-looking machines, which appear to be half-drone, half-helicopter. During the Paris Games, they're only expected to make "a few flights," said ADP's No. 2. In practice, each flying cab will carry just two people, a pilot and a passenger. For the airport operator, this test phase will be limited in time, as "the barge will have to be dismantled by December 31, 2024 at the latest," said Arkwright. The Austerlitz demonstration site will not be the only point of departure for the aircraft. The VTOL (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) aircraft will also take off from four other vertiports, at Saint-Cyr-l'Ecole, the Issy-les-Moulineaux heliport and two airports: Le Bourget and Roissy-Charles de Gaulle. Thanks to the Austerlitz vertiport, flying cabs will be able to enter Paris without passing over any dwellings, but only by flying over the Seine. Volocopter's VTOLs have not yet been certified for commercial operation. Nevertheless, this trial represents a victory for Groupe ADP and its partners − in this case, the RATP public transport company, the Ile-de-France (Paris) region and the French Civil Aviation Authority. The promoters of the venture had to surmount a number of obstacles. In the end, the least among these was from the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). The EASA imposed certification standards on VTOLs that were as stringent as those for commercial airliners. A flying cab developed by American manufacturer Joby crashed in California in February 2022. It was different, however, from those in Paris in that it had no navigator and was piloted remotely. .../... https://lnkd.in/ecnWPXFT

#PortraitOfTheMonth 📸 This month, we meet a very special employee! Many people know him & often ask: who is he really, what are his missions? Or what did he do to get where he is? Discover the story of Hervé Le Joliff, our Chairman. 👔 According to him, life is made up of trajectories and switches. He started his career with Spie to do his military service abroad as a volunteer in the oil & gas sector, a field that didn't really appeal to him at first sight. He had hoped to end up in English-speaking countries to perfect his English, but was sent to Venezuela! If you're going to leave, you might as well learn a new language, he thought! His ability to rise to the challenge and adapt to a complicated new environment appealed to them. 🇻🇪 ➡️16 months later, Spie Enertrans offered him an expatriate contract to take over financial responsibility and then the works on a construction site for a gas-oil separation unit at the end of a wellhead. Hervé then chose to branch out into the railway sector, to his great satisfaction. First as a track project manager, then as project director and finally as subsidiary director in South America. In 2007, with the acquisition of Spie Rail by Colas, he returned to France after 10 years abroad and took part in the international development of Colas Rail for almost 10 years. 🌎 You'll see Hervé more often in the field than in his office, because he likes to be close to the site. It is them who make Colas Rail perform. The energy that emanates from our projects, with its blend of commitment and team spirit, drives him and even infects him! He also enjoys working with our customers, building projects together that serve the common good. 🤝 In life, Hervé loves the cinema, a field in which he would have loved to have made a career! 🎥 A keen golfer, he likes to clear his head outdoors. What he appreciates above all is the strategic virtue of this sport. There's no need for power, just reflection, #daring and, above all, humility!⛳ To aspire to positions like his, he believes you need 3 qualities: ✅Commitment, being 100% committed to what you do & wanting to set things in motion ✅Humility: when you don't know what you're doing, you have to say so & ask for help ✅Patience, because nothing in a career is linear, sometimes you have to make adjustments & sometimes you have to wait your turn With a human touch, his day-to-day work involves listening to his colleagues and putting his skills to work for them. Bringing options to the problems that may arise or #sharing, communicating his will and energy to give meaning & bring sustainable mobility solutions to link people & territories together. 🛤️  #ColasRail #Career #TeamColasRail #DrivenBy #OnTrackForYourFuture

📣 Bonjour la France ❗ 🖐 We are very proud of our partnership with SKYTECH SLP ♻ . Thank you for your trust and your continuous contribution - #Merci! The first time we met SkytechSLP was in 2016 at the K-show, it's been a while.... The cooperation was solidified in 2020, when the first #flakeanalyser 1️⃣ . 0️⃣ was designed and delivered, followed by a second one a year later in 2021. Work together continues at its best. Today there are 6 flakeanalysers on site, as in the last 2 years we have delivered 4 #flakeanalysers 2️⃣. 0️⃣ . Skytech SLP has placed a huge focus on the quality and monitoring of the recycled material that is treated. Processed #ABS, #PS, #PP are analysed at every stage. This is why the flakeanalyser first verifies the quality of the input material. Typical impurities present at this stage are PE, PC, PA, PMMA, PVC or PET.  Since monitoring is continuous, production operators perform a regular quality check and adapt production processes to guarantee that the final product achieves the very highest standards. After the production stage, a final quality inspection takes place. The #flakeanalyser is integrated into the quality assessment in 3 stages: ◾ input examination ✔ ◾ production optimisation ✔ ◾ final verification of quality ✔ 400 samples, each 500g in size, are taken daily! - This guarantees that #rPS, #rABS and #rPP conform to the highest standards. ↗ Follow the link below to learn more about our cooperation and the partnerships #RTTSystem and #SkytechSLP. The next place we would like to take you to is #Warsaw, where you will discover the role of #flakeanalyser 2️⃣. 0️⃣ by analysing #rPET! See you soon in Poland! #WEEE #Closedloop #rPS #rABS #rPP #Sustainability #Recycling #Plastics #Polymers #AI #Sorting #analyticswithallsenses

The Meteoric Rise of Luxury in India: A Boon for Asset Management and technologies. India, with its double-digit annual growth forecasted through 2030, is poised to redefine the global luxury landscape. It is estimated that the Indian luxury market could reach between 23 and 38 billion euros, driven by a new wave of consumers and strategic brand initiatives. This surge is not just great news for luxury brands but also for the finance industry, particularly asset management. India's economic boom presents unprecedented opportunities for emerging market specialists, with an expanding middle class and high market valuations. Luxury brands are already benefiting from Indians' affinity for gold, while Swiss watchmaking anticipates a significant increase in exports to India. These trends suggest an increase in private wealth, translating into a heightened demand for sophisticated financial services, including asset management. India is on track to become a key player not only in the luxury sector but also in the global financial ecosystem. Astute asset managers should therefore view India as a strategic market for investment and portfolio diversification. As finance and IT professionals, we must be ready to seize these opportunities by developing products and services tailored to this new affluent clientele. The time is ripe for innovation and strategic adaptation to capitalize on India's luxury growth. https://lnkd.in/eFqq67_i

🚁 History ! As we narrow Vertical Flight Society #Forum80, let look back 💯 years ago ! Yes 100 years !! CENTENARY OF THE FIRST FAI #ROTORCRAFT RECORD FAI : Fédération Aéronautique Internationale The below article is in French but your favorite translator will help ;) (btw thanks Thierry for sharing !) Interesting read about this brilliant engineer on https://lnkd.in/ek_SjZFv « The agility of the dragonfly in flight is an astonishing thing to behold. Certainly, the #biomechanical facilities of this particular insect were an inspiration to Etienne Oehmichen, the French engineer who set FAI’s very first helicopter record. ../.. Although this was far from engineer Etienne Oehmichen’s first invention, this particular achievement was significant in the historical context of rotorcraft flight. ../.. Oehmichen’s first FAI record was also hailed as a major success in helicopter flight. Following the initial distance of 360m, the aircraft made a second, longer journey of 525m on 17 April 1924. His records were quickly superseded by Argentinian engineer Pateras Pescara, who, on 18 April recorded 736m, in his 2F in Issy-les-Moulineaux, near Paris. (Note : Now the vertiport / heliport of Paris downtown) ../.. Oehmichen completed the first successful closed-circuit helicopter flight on 4 May 1924, flying the Oehmichen 2 around a triangular course of 1km. The flight lasted approximately 7 minutes, 40 seconds. A few months later in September the same year, testing the payloads with 100kg then 200kg, Oehmichen was awarded two further FAI records. ../.. With around 30 automobile, aeronautical and photographical patents to his name, in 1939, he ‘retired’ from engineering. His next career move allowed him to pursue his life-long passion, as a researcher and teacher of #biomechanics at the Collège de France. ../.. A modest man, he once stated, “I am not the inventor of the #helicopter. That was Leonardo da Vinci when he designed his flying machine with a turning wing in 1486.” ******************************************* Interestingly, on 62th VFS (which was at that time the AHS* forum 2006), one presentation was made by Pr J. Gordon Leishman from university of Maryland *American Helicopter Society

A few self-defence tips in the event of an attack

French President Emmanuel Macron's recent speech at the Sorbonne mentioned space, its applications, or our inferred dependency on it at least 20 times, even — rightfully — listing space as one of the top 5 most strategic emerging sectors for Europe.   Geopolitical, technological, scientific, economic, societal, and environmental transformations are taking place globally and they are deeply profound, rapidly accelerating, and sure to have an impact for generations to come. In the midst of this, space continues to assert great strategic and economic importance, demonstrating its unique potential to secure regional autonomy and foster international leadership.   I am currently working with our Member States on ESA's Strategy 2040, which will only further emphasise the importance of space for a unified and prosperous Europe, much of which resonates with what President Macron has stated in his mentions of space, competitiveness, European industry, and technology.   I commend President Macron for his bold, visionary speech at the Sorbonne and for once again raising space to the highest political level.
