Aeralis je britanska firma koja namerava da napravi prvi britanski avion jos od BAE Hawk-a. Trenutno skupljaj novac za pravljenje demonstratora kako bi isti bio predstavljen do septembra sledece godine na DSEI sajmu u Londonu. Vec su dobili podrsku Bombardiera i Thales-a a potrebno im je 30 miliona funti za izradu prototipa do 2021. i troskove sertifikacije.

Aeralis launches funding effort for 'modular' military trainer

Citat:Aeralis hopes to start production of eventually 12 to 20 aircraft a year by the mid-2020s – possibly using funding from the Welsh government to set up at the former Royal Air Force base at St Athan near Cardiff – with Bombardier’s Belfast plant supplying the wings and engine pod, and Thales UK the avionics. Formula 1 design house Williams Engineering would be contracted to manufacture the composite fuselage.

Ideja je napraviti modularni trenazer, odnosno proizvodnja osnovnog i naprednog trenazera koji bi delili isti trup, kokpit i motore, odnosno 85 % delova.

Aeralis Envisions New British Jet Trainer

Citat:The company initially revealed its concept in 2015 as the Dart Jet, but the offer is now evolving into a suite of training systems built around a modular training aircraft that will share 80-90% commonality among the variants. Two versions are currently planned. The A-model will be a twin-engine, swept-wing advanced lead-in fighter trainer, while the B-model will be a straight-wing, single-engine basic jet trainer. Both would be certified. The aircraft would be built around a common-core fuselage onto which the company would fit a modular wing and an engine. Operators would be able to select whether the fly-by-wire aircraft is controlled with a sidestick, as in the F-16, or the more traditional centrally mounted stick, as in the Eurofighter Typhoon.

Engineers are studying different engines, including the Honeywell F124, Williams International FJ44 and Rolls-Royce Adour. The company will also offer the option of making an X-version, which could be a specialist aerobatic aircraft with a mix of modular components. However, the customer would likely have to pay for the certification.

While some governments will be able to afford to purchase the aircraft outright, Aeralis sees potential in providing that capability to customers by offering a generic training service with simulators that would keep up to date with the installed software.

“The training system is more than just the aircraft,” says Tim Davies, Aeralis’ strategy director and a former Royal Air Force Hawk flight instructor. “We believe the training system should also be monitoring the fitness, mental health and the nutrition of the students,” he says.

Training packages could be unbundled, rather like the airfares on low-fare airlines, says Davies. “Customers would only pay for the training systems they need; that will help reduce costs considerably.”

Control over the software would mean certain systems cannot be accessed in the aircraft until the customer asks to have it switched on. Locking these systems out until needed could solve such issues. The company is exploring the certification implications of software locking those functions.

The company has already raised £650,000 ($850,000) and has received offers of grant funding of £1.3 million from the Welsh government. It is now looking to raise another £1 million through a business-to-business crowdfunding program, enabling the building of a mockup of the concept, which would go on display at the DSEI defense exhibition in London next September. Partners on the project include Williams Advanced Engineering, Thales, Martin-Baker, Cranfield Aerospace Solutions Ltd. and Frazer-Nash.

With industry interest, the company believes it could develop a flying demonstrator in the early 2020s and then capture 5-10% of the forecasted 5,500 new-generation trainer market from 2023.

I napraviše britanski Alpha Jet. Kada su Francuzi to hteli da naprave zajedno, ispao je Jaguar jer su štitili Hawk a i saplitali Mirage F-1. E sada izmišljaju rupu na saksijii prave gotovo istovetni avion, a kupac može da izabere veću ili manju strelu krila sa dubokim hibridom, jedan(Pampa) ili dva motora(Alpha Jet). Jedino mi koncept sa ST u gondoli potpuno nejasan, da kažem iščašen i potpuno razočarenje.

RAF je zainteresovan, dobili su prve pare, sad traze dalje...

UK’s modular trainer ready to soar, says Aeralis boss

Citat:In mid-February, the company secured a three-year funding commitment from the RAF’s Rapid Capabilities Office (RCO), supporting its research and development activities. This was followed by an early March announcement of a formal teaming agreement with Thales Training & Simulation’s UK arm.

Citat:“The phase we are in now is to raise the equity we need to do the more in-depth design of the vehicle,” says Crawford, who adds: “we have an aspiration to fly at the end of that 30-month programme.”

The company has already secured patent approvals in the EU and the USA for its common core fuselage design: the heart of its modular trainer concept. This envisions producing multiple aircraft variants, optimised for duties ranging from basic to advanced training provision and beyond.

Imace Rolls Royce motore, naravno.

Citat:UK-based Aeralis and Rolls-Royce have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) geared at meeting the propulsion needs of the former's modular jet aircraft.

Signed at the DSEI 2021 defence exhibition in London on 14 September, the MoU will see Rolls-Royce develop new “efficient and sustainable” power solutions to meet customers' operational requirements.

“Rolls-Royce Defence family of digital small propulsion system are being developed rapidly to deliver disruptive and innovative technologies whilst also being more cost-effective. Aeralis [is] keen to take advantage of these advances in propulsion system design for [its] digitally developed modular air system,” Aeralis said in a statement.

Stizu i pare sa bliskog istoka

Citat:UK start-up Aeralis has secured a major funding boost from an undisclosed Middle East backer, plus new technical support from propulsion giant Rolls-Royce, moving its modular jet trainer concept a step closer to manufacturing reality.

Under an agreement signed on 16 September, as Aeralis promoted its UK-designed product at the DSEI show in London, the £10.5 million ($14.5 million) financial injection comes from “a Middle Eastern sovereign wealth fund”, the company says.

Super je ovo. Meni se baš svidja.
Nema to mnogo veze sa Alfajetom. Ovo treba da bude daleko jeftinija i fleksibilnija modulrna letelica. Može ladno kasnije i bez kabine kao visenamenska Bespilotna platforma.

Dovoljno je da uspe samo kao odličan trenažer za sitne pare, i sve ostalo je ekstra. Ako to ne uspe propada sve.
Tako sam uvek otprilike zamišljao nekog našeg naslednika G-4.

Redizajn. Prvi let za tri godine.

https://www.flightglobal.com/defence/aeralis-unvei.....25.article

Citat:“One of the key pieces of feedback was the need to operate in a transonic speed regime, to make sure that the aggressor [variant] could really stress-test some of the high-end combat platforms.”

However, Crawford notes that potential customers also have stressed the need for Aeralis to “protect the price-point of the aircraft”, which it describes as being “very affordable”.

To be built around an evolved version of its common core fuselage design, a proposed family of aircraft will be suitable for duties including basic and advanced jet training, aggressor/Red Air tasks and intelligence, surveillance, target acquisition and reconnaissance (ISTAR). Other roles could include serving as a companion trainer for fifth-generation fighters, performing electronic warfare duties, or acting as a light tanker.

“We now have a new and improved shape that allows the aircraft to operate in the close to supersonic regime in level flight,” Crawford says. “We were also able to unlock some benefits in terms of increased capacity for fuel, and increased

volume for kit inside the aircraft.” This has been achieved in part by replacing a bespoke undercarriage design with an off-the-shelf product from Heroux-Devtek.

“We’ve changed the shape to go faster, and we’ve actually improved the capability,” Crawford says.

The company approved the modified design at the end of 2022, and Crawford says that since that point, “we have been engineering it”. A recent design review board activity was chaired by former Royal Air Force senior engineer Sir Julian Young, providing further recommendations.

The proposed aggressor training variant will feature what Aeralis claims is “a first-of-its-kind wing architecture consisting of an inner wing and an outer wing to ensure manoeuvrability at both low and high speeds”. It describes this as a highly cranked-wing configuration.

The ISTAR variant, which will gain a fuselage extension to maintain stability due to its extended wing, could be unmanned.

“I look forward to quickly progressing the aircraft to its next stage,” Crawford says. The company is now preparing to develop a pre-production aircraft, with first flight targeted within three years.

A single-engined advanced jet trainer will be the first design to be produced. “We are still looking for entry into the market before the end of the decade,” he says.

The type will be powered by a Honeywell F124 engine, but Crawford notes: “The premise is still to be compatible with a range of engines.”
