Airbus A350 visits South Africa on world tour


[...]



“We are pleased to be selected as the first airport on the continent to host the latest addition to the Airbus family,” said Unathi Batyashe-Fillis, head of Corporate Affairs for Airports Company South Africa. “The decision by Airbus to run test flights of their new jetliner at our facilities is testimony to the confidence the company has shown in our infrastructure and our capability as an airport management authority. Such flights are used to test compatibility of the aircraft with existing airport and air traffic management infrastructure, systems and processes.”



[...]

A350 components are made in South Africa and the aircraft has the most South African content out of any Airbus civil aircraft. Wing and fuselage components are manufactured by Aerosud in Centurion while Cobham South Africa in Westlake, near Cape Town, manufactures satellite communication equipment for the A350XWB. Among these made-in-South Africa components are the composites fuselage frame clips which secure the aircraft’s panels to its skeletal frame.


[...]

Airbus collaborates with South Africa’s research and technology community and has launched and funded numerous research initiatives in cooperation with the Department of Trade & Industry’s National Aerospace Centre and the Department of Science & Technology, the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), various universities and specialised laboratories. A key objective for Airbus is to broaden its industrial network to include more public and private sector partners.

Some of these partnerships involve research into advanced manufacturing techniques, such as additive layer manufacturing that involves forming components out of titanium powder using high power lasers.

On the military side, Denel Aerostructures and Aerosud make parts for the A400M Atlas military transport aircraft.

We can list so so much more- and they are all things in existNce, never mind the projects for planned weapons

Well done on contradicting yourself in such spectacular fashion

And yes we take photos of them- we sell them, how do you market a product that people don't know exists?

That's why we are in the worlds top 20 of arms manufacturers and you are not. I'm pretty sure Nigeria has yet to make any significant sales of anything they have designed and made

There is a large market to fill in nigeria. Notwithstanding, we export our vessels and have been sub-contracted to build Armoured vehicles for west-african customers.

SA go-ahead for Grand Inga hydropower project
22 August 2014


The Cabinet has approved the ratification of the treaty on the Grand Inga hydropower project between South Africa and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), paving the way for the next phase of what could eventually become the largest hydroelectric project in the world, with the potential to power half the continent.

Minister in the Presidency for Planning, Monitoring and Evaluation Jeff Radebe made the announcement in Pretoria on Thursday following the Cabinet's latest fortnightly meeting, which took place in Cape Town on Wednesday.

The Grand Inga project will seek to harness the power potential of the Congo River, sub-Saharan Africa's greatest waterway. Once all seven of its planned phases are complete, it is expected to generate a massive 40 000 megawatts (MW) of renewable power.

Two existing dams, Inga 1 and 2, have been in operation since 1972 and 1982 respectively, together generating nearly 1 800 MW. The next phase of the Grand Inga project, Inga 3, is expected to cost in the region of US$12-billion and produce around 4 800 MW of electricity.

Subsequent phases, adding up to an eventual total capacity of 40 000 MW, will allow countries in southern Africa, north-east Africa and parts of west Africa to benefit from production at the site.

The Grand Inga treaty, signed by South Africa and the DRC in October, will now be tabled in Parliament. The treaty provides the framework for the facilitation of power generation from the Grand Inga project and its delivery to the border between the DRC and Zambia.

According to Radebe, the ratification of the treaty paves the way for the development of Inga 3, which will provide 2 500 MW of electricity to South Africa and contribute to regional integration, energy security and economic growth in an environmentally sustainable manner.

"The project has the potential to supply clean and affordable imported hydroelectric power to meet the needs of the DRC, South Africa and surrounding countries," Radebe said.

"The project holds the potential to fast-track SADC development, alleviate energy poverty, stimulate economic growth and facilitate infrastructure development.

"This represents one of the most ambitious projects ever undertaken on the African continent, and one which will long be a resounding symbol of the rise of Africa and her people."

That Beechcraft cannot operate in a contested airspace

It does not have to, it can take off and land on cleared level bush land or soil FOB, it only needs to be in the air circling around on Nigerian side of the front-line divide 20km deep inside Nigerian territory/side and only at height 60 metres above ground, like combine height of 50 men standing on each others heads, No South African missile has that range today and no South African jet will fly low into Nigerian airspace with Roland, and other air defense weapons ready to eat up any jet or helicopter enemy. The Beechcraft radar range is 80km and at 20km inside Nigerian lines, it will spy the enemy camp 60km away and take photos, send all information about the enemy via datalink real time to our own military, it can stay in the air for over 6 hours non-stop.

Nigeria is buying another 7 new ISTAR aircraft and one has landed in Abuja, we just removed the plastic covers wrapped on it brand new and we popped champagne, 7 brand new world class most sophisticated 2014 ISTAR aircraft all bigger than Beechcraft for Nigeria, now we have about 12 ultra-modern state-of-the-art world's most sophisticated ISR-ISTAR aircraft rocking our world as the unbeatable African Giant of spy and recce.

South African air force is 166 years behind NAF.....officially confirmed by SANDF air force chief publicly tongue tongue

" The country's military on Tuesday took the wraps off a new aircraft to
tackle high-seas pirates off the country's coast, as well as maritime hijackers
and oil thieves.

The high-tech plane is one of seven to be operated by the state-run Nigerian
Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA) and the Nigerian Air
Force.

It includes sensors, radar and Electro-Optic Surveillance and Tracking (EOST)
equipment, which houses three cameras to monitor ships in Nigerian waters,
said NAF Sergeant Sunday Olalekan Omotosho.

"When fully operational, no vessel can escape our coverage," he told reporters
before a demonstration flight from Lagos to Escravos.

The 20-seat plane can fly as low as 200 feet (60 metres) above the sea and
passes on information to the navy, who can intervene
with fast-attack craft if necessary, he added.

"With this aircraft, we can spot any vessel hundreds of kilometres away," said NAF Air
Group Captain Enobong Eneh Effiom."

Is it time for me to list all the accidents aradu has had?

Or the fact that the Nigerian navy has blown up no less than 3 of its own vessels?

South African anti-aircraft gun k.illed its own operators.

South African submarine ran into seabed and stuck in the mud.

Aradu is still intact, the ship that had explosion was not human error but electrical malfunction ignited flame up.

Nigerian navy has never sank it's own small boat, talk less of a ship. South African navy sank it's own huge Frigate in broad daylight by human sailors and officers incompetence.

SAS President Kruger is world history for Naval forces, the biggest broad daylight incompetence in modern naval history.

Nigeria confirms 2 new Ebola cases

BUJA, Nigeria - Nigerian Health Minister Onyebuchi Chukwu says the country has confirmed two new Ebola cases, the first two to have spread beyond those who had direct contact with the ill traveler from Liberia who brought the disease to Nigeria.

Chukwu said Friday in Abuja, Nigeria's capital, that the two new cases are spouses of patients who had direct contact with Liberian-American Patrick Sawyer, who flew into the country last month with the virus and infected 11 others before he died. The two are spouses of caregivers who treated Sawyer, both of whom later died.

These two new cases bring the total number of confirmed infections in Nigeria, including the traveler, to 14. Chukwu says five patients have died, five have recovered and four are being treated in Lagos.

Well done Msauza!!! You told the truth like nobody on earth. Electronic jammers are utilised in areas where the network coverage is not fully developed to be minimised only to certain targeted area. @Agaugust has just unknowingly confirmed to us that Nigeria is still backward like in the era of stone age. Electronic/GPS jammer trucks are redundant in SA and will remain a waste in tax payers money. We have plenty of them in defence but they remain a burden, you can even ask our signal corps they will confirm it to you. Like you said they will only be of use when we operate in the west and heart of Africa.

SA was so lucky that when it first introduced mobile networks it went all out to develop the infrastructure to their best standard.

The 3 new Beechcraft transport version NAF announced are still overseas, the white and blue painted NAF 202, 203, 204 announced by NAF this month August, maybe just about arriving now, last seen this month in Spain Canary Islands.
