Leonardo is celebrating the 20th anniversary of the AW139 helicopter’s maiden flight The first aircraft took to the skies from the company’s facility in Cascina Costa di Samarate The helicopter flew for 45 minutes checking initial airworthiness tests This soon confirmed the impressive characteristics and the smoothness of the new model and its performance and capabilities were to become a new market benchmark making it the most important helicopter program in the last two decades at an international level The AW139 intermediate-twin engine 7 tonne boasts orders of almost 1,200 units from more than 280 customers in over 70 countries on all continents The aircraft has shown extraordinary levels of reliability and operational capabilities with more than 3 million flight hours recorded since the first delivery took place at the beginning of 2004 Data of use testifies the extreme versatility of the AW139 which satisfies any market need: approximately half the world’s fleet for public utility tasks such as search and rescue and air ambulance The rest account for a leading position in its class in the offshore transport sector institutional and corporate transport as well as other civil missions The AW139 fleet has a global presence: around 30% in Europe The international success of the AW139 is so important that to meet market demands the helicopter is produced on different assembly lines both in Italy and in the United States in Philadelphia which has delivered around 30% of all units to date The US Air Force will soon introduce the AW139-based Boeing MH-139 to replace the UH-1N fleet The AW139 has grown significantly over the years adapting to the changing needs of customers The maximum take-off weight increased from 6.4 to 7 tons Almost 1,000 mission kits and equipment have been certified With advanced protection systems against icing the AW139 can fly in all-weather conditions This model is also the only one in the world capable of continuing to fly for over 60 minutes without oil in the transmission twice as much as the 30 minutes set by certification authorities In 2020 new distinguished features for the avionics suite were introduced including synthetic vision Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning System with offshore modes improved 2D maps and wireless data loading increasing crew situational awareness and reducing workload for operations at night or in marginal weather Despite the experience and maturity achieved in almost 17 years of operational activity the AW139 remains a young and modern program destined to play a leading role into the future The AW139 truly embeds all areas of excellence and leadership in its field at Leonardo such as transmissions and dynamics latest safety standards and a comprehensive range of increasingly localized customer support and training services and solutions developed and grown to allow customers worldwide to maximize the capabilities of the type The aircraft of choice in its class against which all existing and newcomers are measured the AW139 also represents a turning point in the rotary-wing sector through the introductory concept of the Leonardo “helicopter family” the forefather of a helicopter family comprising the smaller and lighter AW169 and the larger and heavier AW189 — models the same flight characteristics and the same certification standards as well as the same approach to maintenance and training The concept allows operators with large diversified fleets with models ranging from 4 to 9 tons of weight to create significant synergies in crew training This press release was prepared and distributed by Leonardo and website in this browser for the next time I comment Δdocument.getElementById( "ak_js_1" ).setAttribute( "value" Bell 525 Walkaround: The First

Finmeccanica-AgustaWestland officials signed a contract for the sale of 10 AW189 commercial helicopters to RN-Aircraft The new helicopters will be used for transportation purposes Delivery of the aircraft is expected between 2015 and 2017 Rosneft plans to order further helicopters by 2025 as already set out in the framework agreement signed in December 2014 and with the involvement of Russian Helicopters The parties also reached an agreement for the progressive restructuring of HeliVert a 50-50 Finmeccanica-AgustaWestland and Russian Helicopters joint venture which foresees the future participation of Rosneft shares in HeliVert will be redistributed as follows: 40% to Finmeccanica-AgustaWestland Finmeccanica will strengthen its industrial collaboration with its Russian partners and its commercial presence by introducing a new product into the Russian market which has already proven extremely successful globally,” officials say With more than 150 helicopters already sold to customers worldwide the 8.3/8.6 tone AW189 is the most successful commercial helicopter in the “super medium” category and is able to carry up to 19 passengers Developed to respond the growing market demand for a modern multirole helicopter with large capacity and long range capability the AW189 meets the latest and most stringent certification and safety standards incorporating the latest in advanced situational awareness technologies The AW189 meets the very latest international regulatory safety requirements (EASA / FAA Part 29 The AW189 is unique in having a 50-minute run-dry capable main gear box exceeding current certification standards and offering unmatched safety and reliability for long range operations The AW189 is part of the AgustaWestland Family of new generation helicopters that includes the AW169 and AW139 models which possess the same high performance flight characteristics and safety features as well as sharing a common cockpit layout This commonality will allow more effective operations for customers operating helicopter fleets across the 4 to 9 tonne weight categories Pilots from the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) have flown the Leonardo AW609 tiltrotor for the first time The flights took place on March 16 and 17 in Cascina Costa di Samarate and were part of the first round of EASA’s familiarization activities for the AW609 certification program The event followed the completion of the Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA’s) pre-Type Inspection Authorization flight test activities Leonardo said the EASA flight was another key milestone for the AW609 program representing “an important step forward in the final stages of the certification process.” It added that the flight enables the AW609 program to “keep the right pace on the validation process,” together with the FAA certification path — which will be the first certification achieved for the long-awaited tiltrotor 5 (UPI) -- The Norwegian military has received the first of 14 NH90 NFH helicopters ordered from AgustaWestland of Italy The NH90 can fly at 186 mph and has a range of 487-681 miles The NFH -- NATO Frigate Helicopter variant -- is designed mainly for autonomous and joint Anti-Submarine Warfare and Anti Surface Warfare It is also capable of performing search-and-rescue medical evacuation and amphibious support missions It features systems that allow it to operate from small frigates The NH90 production program is managed by the NATO Helicopter Management Agency The consortium is comprised of AgustaWestland AgustaWestland said it is responsible for the production of the aircraft's main transmission A delivery schedule for the remainder of the helicopters ordered by Norway wasn't disclosed You might not be able to simply drive down to your local dealer and pick up one of these gems but the Magni MV Agusta Filorosso is out there and maybe worth whatever it takes to get one One problem with modern-day retro bikes is that in trying to combine ancient with modern they often risk embracing the worst of both worlds In trying to recreate all our yesterdays in a modern context their builders sometimes end up with too much motor for the chassis or insufficient poke to pull the skin off a rice pudding Better to just stick the result on display and simply look at it reflecting as you do how far and how fast the world has moved on since the bike it’s trying to honor first did its thing To read this in Cycle News Digital Edition, click HERE But then every so often one comes along that is so totally right and so luscious to look at as well as fun to ride that you forget all the times you’ve been disappointed and start looking at yesterday through distinctly rose-tinted spectacles For sure that’s the case with Italy’s Magni MV Agusta Filorosso triple that’s now being handbuilt in limited quantities—sufficient nonetheless to constitute series production—by Giovanni Magni in the Moto Magni factory north of Milan at Samarate That’s a stone’s throw from MV’s former race HQ at Gallarate where his late dad Arturo who passed away last December at the age of 90 led the historic Italian trophy marque’s GP team bankrolled by the profits of Count Agusta’s helicopter factory to a remarkable haul of 75 road racing World Championships in 26 years It’s hard to think of any company more entitled than Moto Magni to use a current MV Agusta model to produce an authentic retro-racer has indeed now done in going back to the future in creating the Filorosso—Italian for “red line,” as in taking it to the limit superbly executed and classically striking road-legal three-cylinder racer-with-lights looks for all the world like the 500 triple that MV’s 15-time World Champion Giacomo Agostini took to seven successive 500 GP World titles from 1966-’72 which uses an unmodified modern liquid-cooled Brutale 800 motor sourced together with the Eldor ECU and wiring harness directly from today’s MV Agusta factory 30 miles away on the shores of Lake Varese This has been wrapped by Giovanni in a TiG-welded open cradle chrome-moly tubular steel frame using the engine as a fully stressed component that recalls Ago’s World title-winning triple’s twin-loop chassis complete with box-section twin-shock swingarm and 18-inch wheels These are in fact six-spoke cast magnesium items as fitted to MV’s later 350/500 four-cylinder GP racers and are the product of the Magni family’s other business the EPM wheel manufacturer run by Giovanni’s elder brother Carlo “I always dreamed of making a modern Magni MV in the same way as my father did 40 years ago when he started our company,” says Giovanni Magni “And many of our existing customers were asking us to make an MV Agusta-based bike that was a blend of today’s engineering with traditional aesthetics—a bike that recalls MV’s glorious history but in a modern context But I was always reluctant to do so because of the responsibility of living up to the expectations created by such a historic marque you can’t dare to even think of building a bad MV a bike that doesn’t meet the high standards set by that badge on the tank Giovanni’s first Magni MV tribute bike was the four-cylinder Storia a classically restyled stock-framed Brutale 1090 that was unveiled at the 2013 Milan Show But although he’s delivered over 30 such bikes and has more orders coming in all the time Giovanni got criticized by some for just offering a change of clothes with the Storia he and Carlo decided to make a three-cylinder bike using the 800 Brutale F3 motor in a purpose-built period-style Magni frame The two brothers finished the prototype Filorosso three days before the opening of the 2014 EICMA Milan Show and posted them on our website with a few words explaining what it was then went to bed,” recalls Giovanni with a smile and we had a dozen orders for the bike without anyone knowing the price for the simple reason we hadn’t decided on it yet ourselves!” One year later the definitive version was displayed at EICMA 2015 having been extensively road tested to iron out any problems with the bikes built in batches of five at a tax-free price of approximately $32,000 I’ve been privileged to ride many wonderful racers down the years from Fogarty Ducatis to Valentino’s M1 Yamahas and a host of exotic classic racers into the bargain But the one that gets my blood racing and my heart soaring is the MV Agusta triple because no other motorcycle so completely captures the sound as well as the substance of two-wheeled exotica of the kind of engineering mystique that wins serial world titles I’m fortunate to have ridden one of the 16 genuine three-cylinder GP racers (in both 350 and 500 versions) which Count Agusta’s race team built in total down the years as well as the last of the six Evoluzione bikes produced by Claudio Castiglioni before he died So I have a pretty good idea of what it’s like to sit on the bike that is right up there when it comes to settling on my favorite ever racebike right down to its deceptively diminutive stature Though it’s so perfectly proportioned that until you sit aboard the Magni MV you’ve no idea it’s so relatively tiny—quite low with a compact 54-inch wheelbase (against 51.t inches for Ago’s GP racer) removing all sense of bulk—it’s not until you see it without the fairing that you’re aware of how perfectly packaged the Filorosso is Thanks to the F3 engine being painted silver and thus pretty eye-catching the low-mounted stock Brutale water radiator is so visually unobtrusive that you don’t really notice it There’s just enough space for a 5’10” rider Giovanni Magni says he had to raise them because his youthful supersport test rider kept decking them seated quite far back on top of the rear suspension This gives room for you to stretch out along the 3.6 gallon hand-beaten aluminum fuel tank to the low-mounted and in so doing make space to crouch behind the screen as well as make a stab at tucking your knees inside the fairing in a straight line You’re discouraged from moving about the bike thanks to the cramped riding position because the way to ride a motorcycle like this is definitely not to try to hang off it and stick your knee on the ground and use the sharp steering geometry (a 25º rake for the fully adjustable but definitely period-looking Forcella Italia conventional fork with just 3.3 inches of trail via a 2.4 inches offset on the machined-from-solid triple clamps) to flick the Filorosso through tighter turns while you stay glued to the seat I found you must keep up turn speed in faster fourth-gear bends at the Pirelli test track where I rode the bike by relying on the good grip from the skinny 110/80 ZR18 Metzeler Roadtec Z8 mounted on the 2.50 inch EPM front rim to stay tucked behind the screen in pursuit of extra mph Riding the Filorosso is just like racing a Classic 500 single only with a lot more power The bodywork is just wide enough to give good streamlining with your shoulders adequately protected by the fairly broad screen as you wrap yourself around the tank and allow your eyes to peer at the rather cluttered stock MV dash Giovanni Magni has jettisoned the traction control and anti-wheelie control programs incorporated in this by simply not installing the requisite sensors But he’s thankfully retained the powershifter on the street-pattern six-speed gearbox and listening to the three gracefully tapering megaphone pipes’ slightly muted (via internal silencing) but still gloriously evocative exhaust note change just an octave or so as you hit a higher gear rounding a wide-open sweeper So too when you crack the throttle open is the suction roar coming from the trio of 50mm Mikuni throttle bodies nestling openly beneath the fuel tank Each is protected against stones and debris as was the way back then by a wire mesh cover over its induction trumpet (aka velocity stack) thanks to the stock Brutale airbox having been jettisoned We’d come to the Pista Pirelli for me to ride the bike because in spite of being supplied with full lighting equipment with the front headlamp neatly inserted in the nose of the GP-style fairing and covered by a yellow raceplate that can be unbolted The turn signals and other such hardware come courtesy of the neighboring Rizoma factory close by Moto Magni’s base whose R&D boss is coincidentally ex-MV Agusta GP mechanic Fiorenzo Fanali The reason the Filorosso isn’t homologated for the street is simply one of cost sanitize the exhaust system via a catalyst and figure out a way of wrapping the throttle bodies in some kind of airbox “We have many orders for the bike in spite of the fact it’s not road legal in Italy,” says Giovanni Magni “We leave it to our customers in whichever country they live in to get it registered there if they wish to But I know some of them prefer just to ride it on the track The result is a motorcycle that’s as authentic a modern-day tribute as it’s possible to get to what’s arguably the most iconic Italian racebike ever made even if the only thing missing is the tennis ball with the top cut off which Ago used to mount on the left clipon in which he’d carry a damp sponge with which to wipe insects off his goggles during the hour-long GP races the Magni Filorosso is worth a fraction of the cost in purely cash terms So that means you can ride it in something approaching anger in a way that would be unthinkable today on a period bike; the MV triples you see racing today in the Goodwood Revival and Classic TT are all replicas Doing so at the Pista Pirelli revealed a bike that feels small agile steering and good feedback from the front Metzeler and even though the twin rear shocks are period kit that isn’t very sophisticated in damping terms there aren’t enough bumps on the Pista Pirelli to deliver an examination of their capability the Magni Filorosso was super stable around a fast fifth-gear sweeper The twin 320mm Brembo front discs gripped by axially mounted four-pot calipers are heaps more effective than the drum brakes fitted to the early GP triples or the plasma-sprayed aluminum Hunt discs which replaced them The Filorosso’s vastly more effective Brembo package is more than good enough to haul a bike weighing 368 pounds dry down hard from high speed though you must be careful about squeezing too hard on the adjustable lever else with that short wheelbase you risk street-sweeping the tarmac with the back wheel in the air You must make a point of using the rear 230mm brake with its twin-piston caliper a fraction before you brake really hard with the front to preload the suspension on such a short bike and get the 49.5/50.5% weight bias to work in your favor Another big difference on the Filorosso is the Brutale 800 motor’s electric leg So instead of the bump start that Ago was so adept at on the GP triple but you’ll invariably find yourself sitting there for a moment relishing the rasping offbeat engine note The three-cylinder Brutale 800 engine pulls strongly from low down and you can accelerate wide open in sixth gear from just 2,000 revs without a hint of transmission snatch and you can feel the extra kick at around 7,000 rpm when you hit maximum torque then surf the curve all the way to the 13-grand limiter sonorous exhaust note that’s good enough to bottle Riding the Magni MV Filorosso was an emotional trip down memory lane I bet Arturo Magni went to meet his maker suitably content with the ultimate creation of the brand he founded 40 years ago Retro bikes don’t come any better than this transverse inline 3-cylinder 4-stroke w/ 4 valves per cylinder 120º crankshaft and offset chain camshaft drive 125 bhp/92 kW at 11,600 rpm at crankshaft

and two Lumad leaders in September 2015 (When Jojo saw that the man was still alive he slit the man’s neck using the same knife It is one of the many jarring narratives in a resolution issued by the justice department on May 23, 2016 – almost 8 months after the attack in Lianga, Surigao del Sur Also killed during the attack were Dionel Campus and Juvello Sinzo the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) National Capital Region (NCR) recommended the filing of murder charges against Manobo chieftain Datu Calpito Egua (aka Datu Calpit) They also face charges of destructive arson for burning down several structures in Alcadev and the Maluhutayong Pakigbisog Alang Sumusunod (Mapasu) Cooperative store They also face charges for grave coercion and grave threats Caraga region police had filed charges of multiple murder Only the two Tejeroses and Layno took off their bonnets during the attack The NBI’s investigation includes charges against 37 for the “premeditated” attack Its witnesses include former paramilitary fighters who have since turned whistleblowers it was Calpit who planned the attack and even designated a “main force” that would enter houses and tell people to gather at the basketball court and two “blocking forces” that would prevent people from escaping The following are covered by the charges prepared by the NBI: Calpit is known in the area as the supposed leader of a paramilitary group that targets both confirmed and suspected members of the communist New People’s Army (NPA) according to an investigation led by the NBI Mindanao-based MindaNews said in a 2014 report that Calpit “is a holder of a Certificate of Ancestral Domain Title and runs a small-scale mining operation in the area.” In 2014, suspected NPA rebels attacked Calpit’s compound resulting in the death of at least 13 communist guerillas Among those killed included Calpit’s brother and 3 security personnel Calpit in January surrendered to Prosperidad He spent a day in custody before promptly posting P80,000 for bail The preliminary investigation for the case took place on March 11 and 18 but none of the accused or their lawyers showed up They also failed to file counter-affidavits A new case of femicide shakes the community of Samarate highlighting the dramatic reality of domestic violence Yesterday evening brought with it tragic news that shook the community of Samarate in an episode that brings to light the drama of domestic violence The murder took place in front of her home while the woman was returning home from work According to initial reconstructions provided by the Carabinieri the couple was in the process of separating is not new in the context of many family tragedies where the end of a relationship can lead to extreme acts of violence and then stabbed her as soon as she got out of the car Vincenzo Gerardi was blocked by the military with the use of a taser and subsequently taken to the hospital for tests He is currently in a barracks of the Carabinieri in Busto Arsizio where he is awaiting further legal developments This timely intervention by the police prevented the situation from degenerating further but it cannot erase the tragedy that has already occurred This case of femicide is not an isolated episode but part of an alarming phenomenon that continues to affect our country hundreds of women lose their lives due to domestic violence a problem that requires decisive and coordinated intervention by institutions and civil society The death of Teresa Stabile must make us reflect on how urgent it is to address the issue of gender violence It is essential that society becomes aware of this problem and that effective preventive measures are implemented victim support services and education on non-violence are essential tools to combat this social scourge it is crucial that institutions guarantee protection and support to all women who find themselves in situations of risk The fear of reporting and the lack of trust in institutions can lead to fatal consequences Only by joining forces can we hope to reduce the number of femicides and build a more just and safe society for all Notizie.it is a newspaper

murder that shook the community of Samarate and raised questions about the phenomenon of femicide Last Wednesday evening marked a tragic event in Samarate was brutally killed by her husband Vincenzo Gerardi This femicide has left the local community in a state of shock raising questions about how such acts of violence can occur even in seemingly normal contexts The investigation revealed that the murder was not an impulsive act Investigators found testamentary letters written by Gerardi a month before the crime in which the man described a plan for femicide-suicide Gerardi also indicated the date on which he intended to carry out his plan: April 16 the day on which he actually killed Teresa This aspect of the story highlights the gravity of the situation and the torment that the victim suffered for months The Busto Arsizio prosecutor's office is considering charging Gerardi with stalking as the man had tormented Teresa for a long time before the tragic epilogue but is part of a broader context of gender violence that continues to affect many women in Italy Teresa Stabile's story is a sad reminder of the need to seriously address the problem of femicide and domestic violence in our country
