Spirit AeroSystems celebrates rollout of first test pylon for Bombardier CSeries aircraft program
7/17/2011
The world's largest independent supplier of commercial airplane assemblies and components, celebrated on the 12th of July 2011 the rollout of the first test pylon for the Bombardier CSeries aircraft. The pylon and under wing structure used to mount the aircraft's power plant to the wing are designed and manufactured by Spirit at the company's Wichita, Kan., facility.
"Today's rollout marks a significant milestone and highlights a unique opportunity to collaborate with a prominent OEM in developing an all-new aircraft for the 100- to 149-seat market segment," said John Pilla, senior vice president and general manager of Spirit's propulsion segment. "Spirit has extensive experience with under wing pylons, and is honoured to work with Bombardier on this program. The CSeries aircraft pylon is the latest example of how we put our team's dedication, determination, and expertise to work in support of our customer."
"The rollout of the first test pylon is a significant milestone in the development of the CSeries aircraft and I'm pleased to be here in Kansas to represent Bombardier as we celebrate this achievement with Spirit AeroSystems," said Rob Dewar, vice president and general manager, CSeries, Bombardier Commercial Aircraft. "Spirit and Bombardier have worked closely together since 2009 to develop a world-class product, and this pylon represents the hard work done jointly by our companies. Bombardier selected Spirit for its knowledge and experience in developing underwing pylons, and the achievement of this milestone further reinforces our confidence in selecting Spirit for the program."
In 2009, Bombardier awarded a contract to Spirit AeroSystems to design and build pylons for both the CS100* and CS300* aircraft models. The work package also includes systems, strut-to-wing hardware, and the aft fairing package. Spirit has more than 75 years of experience designing and producing pylons, including those for every Boeing commercial airplane currently in production.
Through a collective effort, Spirit, Bombardier and Pratt & Whitney worked together to define structural interface points and complete the pylon structure's design. Spirit's end item deliverable is made up of lightweight aluminium, titanium, and composite components; a combination of procured items, Spirit-fabricated components, and Bombardier furnished equipment.
"Together, Spirit and Bombardier have created a constructive, progressive, and highly transparent working relationship," said Richard Roby, manager of Spirit's CSeries aircraft pylon program. "As evidence of this team-focused effort, the CSeries aircraft pylon is the first non-Boeing pylon designed and assembled by Spirit."
The Bombardier CSeries family of single-aisle, commercial aircraft -- featuring the new Pratt & Whitney PurePower® PW1500G Geared Turbofan engine -- is designed for the 100- to 149-seat market. The CSeries aircraft combine advanced materials, leading-edge technology, and proven methods to meet commercial airline needs. The first aircraft is expected to enter into service in 2013.

The Federal's pistol slid into its holster and his sabre flashed out. He threw its curved point up in a splendid salute. Ferry saluted with his straight blade. Then both swords rang back into their scabbards, and Jewett whirled away toward his column. For a moment we lingered, then faced to the left, trotted, galloped. Over the fence and into the road went he--went I. Down it, as we crossed, the blue column was just moving again. Then the woods on the south swallowed us up. "All right, sir." that before. Meanwhile the parallelism between Thought and Extension was not exhausted by the identification just analysed. Extension was not only a series of movements; it still remained an expression for co-existence and adjacency.412 Spinoza, therefore, felt himself obliged to supply Thought with a correspondingly continuous quality. It is here that his chief originality lies, here that he has been most closely followed by the philosophy of our own time. Mind, he declares, is an attribute everywhere accompanying matter, co-extensive and co-infinite with space. Our own animation is the sum or the resultant of an animation clinging to every particle that enters into the composition of our bodies. When our thoughts are affected by an external impulse, to suppose that this impulse proceeds from anything material is a delusion; it is produced by the mind belonging to the body which acts on our body; although in what sense this process is to be understood remains a mystery. Spinoza has clearly explained the doctrine of animal automatism, and shown it to be perfectly conceivable;569 but he has entirely omitted to explain how the parallel influence of one thought (or feeling) on another is to be understood; for although this too is spoken of as a causal relation, it seems to be quite different from the logical concatenation described as the infinite intellect of God; and to suppose that idea follows from idea like movement from movement would amount to a complete materialisation of mind; while our philosopher would certainly have repudiated Mr. Shadworth Hodgson’s theory, that states of consciousness are only connected through their extended substratum, as the segments of a mosaic picture are held together by the underlying surface of masonry. Nor can we admit that Spinoza entertained the theory, now so popular, according to which extension and consciousness are merely different aspects of a single reality. For this would imply that the substance which they manifest had an existence of its own apart from its attributes; whereas Spinoza makes it consist of the attributes, that is to say, identifies it with their totality. We are forced, then, to conclude that the proposition declaring thought and extension to be the same thing570 has no413 other meaning than that they are connected by the double analogy which we have endeavoured to explain. “Oh, he’s welcome to it,” Sandy cried. “I’ve turned over a new leaf!” “But—are they?” He pulled a wire out a trifle from the sheath. The sergeant spent more time upon the oaths with which he embellished the counter-question as to how he should know anything about it, than would have been consumed in a civil explanation. "Doctor, he can't die. He mustn't die," said Shorty in agony. "The regiment can't spare him. He's the best soldier in it, and he's my pardner."

"Holy smoke, look there," gasped Monty Scruggs, as a company of rebel cavalry came tearing over the hill in front, to the assistance of their comrades. "That's about it," answered Shorty disdainfully. "That's the way with all cavalry, dad-burn 'em. They're like a passel o' fice pups. They're all yelp and bark, and howl and showin' o' teeth. They're jest goin' to tear you to pieces. But when you pick up a stone or a club, or git ready to give 'em a good kick they're gone, the devil knows where. They're only an aggravation. You never kin do nothin' with 'em, and they kin do nothin' with you. I never kin understand why God Almighty wasted his time in makin' cavalry of any kind, Yank or rebel. All our own cavalry's good for is to steal whisky and chickens from honest soldiers of the infantry. The infantry's the only thing. It's like the big dog that comes up without any special remarks, and sets his teeth in the other dog. The thing only ends when one dog or the other is badly whipped and somethin's bin accomplished." "Mmm." Reuben started out of the half-waking state into which he had fallen. It was late in the afternoon, the sunlight had gone, and a wintry twilight crept up the wall. Maude the dairy-woman was looking in at the door. It was about a month subsequent to this, that one morning, as Turner was making the anvil ring with the ponderous strokes of his hammer, two retainers from the castle entered the shed, and delivered an order from De Boteler for his immediate attendance. Wat laid the hammer on the anvil, and, passing the back of his right hand across his forehead, to clear away the large drops that stood there, looked with a kind of smile at the men as he said, HoME泷泽萝拉四部和集下载
