Summary/Abstract |
This paper discusses Singapore’s progress in implementing the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) and tries to explore whether the city-state has encountered any domestic conflict whilst doing so. It concludes that being a highly trade- and FDI-dependent economy, it is in Singapore’s national interest to be a part of the AEC. It is one of the leading ASEAN countries to implement the AEC initiatives. When examining domestic conflicts, Singapore presents a unique case as the city-state has long been exposed to the competitive forces of globalization, well before the development of the AEC. The country adopts non-protectionist measures to manage competitive pressures from the global economy. Almost full employment and a low incidence of poverty also minimize the negative impacts of liberalization. Case studies of the electronics and aviation sectors highlight how these two sectors are adjusting to liberalization and competition from the global economy, including the AEC. With respect to the electronics sector, which is an integral part of regional production networks, Singapore is continually progressing up the value chain. In the case of the aviation sector, the city-state continues to meet global and regional challenges through cooperative arrangements with the aviation industries of other countries and by upgrading and expanding its air services.

Summary/Abstract |
Aviation is one of the most heavily regulated industries in the world due to safety reasons. Strict regulations have helped the avition industry provide the safest way the transport per mile travelled. Aviation incidents are few and far between, and are getting rarer every year. Some degrees of automation have indeed helped get aviation to where it currently is. But human control and intervention have always been at the heart of it. form pilots to Air Traffic Controllers. This is about to change.

Summary/Abstract |
Crude oil is a limited natural resource subject to depletion and several reports indicate that the world's crude oil production is close to the maximum level and that it will start to decrease after reaching this maximum. A post-Kyoto political agenda to reduce oil consumption will have the same effect on aviation fuel production as a natural decline in the crude oil production. On the other hand, it is predicted by the aviation industry that aviation traffic will keep on increasing.

Summary/Abstract |
Offering the new light helicopter to India, Russia intends to share new technologies with the Indian aerospace industry. These technologies can set an industrial base for high-technological production development. The implementation of offers included in Ka-226T offset programme may take the collaboration between Russia and India in the aviation industry to a new level. What is the essence of the Russian offer to India? First of all, it includes the establishment of Ka-226T production in India that can be performed by joint facility of “Russian Helicopters” and Indian SUN Group. It is planned to organise the manufacturing of main Ka-226T parts including fuselage, column and main rotor to perform final assembling, to conduct ground/flight factory and acceptance tests. The helicopters produced by the joint facility can be sold not only to the Indian Ministry of Defence, but also to foreign customers. So, India may obtain a required export product, a unique experience of high-technologic ..

Summary/Abstract |
India's growing civil aviation sector now has an increasing number of scheduled, non-scheduled airlines, flying institutes and private-use aircraft that will require a larger number of airports and airfields to enable air connectivity across all corners of the country.
The Airports Authority of India (AAI) had already begun work on 50 low-cost airports, located in remote and interior areas of the country. In addition to this greenfield airports at Navi Mumbai, Goa, Kannur and Kushinagar, AAI has identified six airports for private management under the Public Private Partnership (PPP) route following the successful implementation of PPP models in Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Cochin.
All these measure will not only lead to more airports but also increased utilisation of existing airports, thus helping to increase air traffic but at the same time putting additional pressure on airspace management. In another recent move, the government allowed flexi use of airspace by civil and military users on a sharing basis, which will enable the available airspace to be used in a more optimised and effective manner.

Summary/Abstract |
The F-35 programme was being driven by a way professional team of uniformed and civilian members of the Pentagon. The Indian MoD needs to have such core ability and learn programme management. Public criticism of the Pentagon for the programme resulted in huge public and government pressure and in turn, aircraft improvements and cost cuts. President Trump himself has been a critic of the cost overruns and delays. Pentagon has no more money to pour into the programme after three costly restructurings in recent years. At one stage, there was a proposal to invite an open tender for all follow-on projects in the programme.

Summary/Abstract |
Pratt & Whitney delivered its first ship set of PurePower PW1100G-JM engines on schedule to Airbus last month for its A320neo aircraft family. According to David Brantner, president, Pratt & Whitney Commercial Engines, "Pratt & Whitney has completed more than 75 per cent of certification testing and we are on track to meet or exceed all commitments." The PurePower engine family has now completed more than 9,000 hours of rigorous testing and is on track and ready to power the first A320neo aircraft in late summer, he added.
Compared with an A320ceo without Sharklets, the A320neo powered by PW1100G-JM engines will provide customers with up to a 15 per cent reduction in fuel-burn and a corresponding reduction in CO2 emissions. The PW1100G-JM engine also provides up to a 75 per cent reduction in the A320neo noise footprint, which is environmentally friendly, allowing longer hours of operation at airports that operate under curfew.
The PW1100G-JM engine is currently in the middle of rigorous testing, with certification planned for the second half of this year. Airline operation or entry into service is planned for the fourth quarter of 2015. As of today, the PurePower engine family has received more than 5,500 orders and commitments, including options from more than 50 global customers.
