The Mass Distribution of Covid-19 Vaccines Is Under Way. 'Everything Has to Come Together.'

Sarah Krouse

Jared S. Hopkins

and

Anna Wilde Mathews

Dec. 13, 2020 10:48 am ET

Trucks filled with Covid-19 vaccine vials pulled out of Pfizer Inc.’s Kalamazoo, Mich., production plant on Sunday morning, part of one of the largest mass mobilizations since the country’s factories were repurposed to help fight World War II.

The effort to vaccinate the nation relies on chemists, factory workers, truck drivers, pilots, data scientists, bureaucrats, pharmacists and health-care workers. It requires ultracold freezers, dry ice, needles, masks and swabs converging simultaneously at thousands of locations across the country.

To work, every one of the many and complicated links of the chain has to hold.

In the trucks that headed to airports and distribution hubs, specially designed containers equipped with sensors monitored location, temperature, light exposure and unusual jolting. Inside, dry ice sandwiched thousands of doses of BNT162b2, the scientific name of the Covid-19 vaccine.

“The biggest concern that I have is not that we don’t know what to do. We have contingency plans in place for just about everything,” said Shawn Seamans, a senior executive in charge of the Covid vaccine distribution program at McKesson Corp. , which is dispatching syringes and other supplies for administering Pfizer’s vaccine. “You don’t know if it’s going to work until you get there.”

Pfizer is leading the distribution of the vaccine, developed with BioNTech SE of Germany. That differs from vaccines developed by other drug companies, which will be distributed by McKesson as the federal government-appointed partner. Among the most difficult aspects of delivering the first vaccine to gain emergency approval: the need to keep it at minus 94 degrees Fahrenheit as it travels and awaits use at vaccination sites.

Despite dry runs and contingency planning, a lot can go wrong. Refrigeration problems could ruin doses, and logistical snafus could delay shipments. If hospitals botch the challenge of scheduling a continuous stream of people to get the shots, defrosting doses might go bad. And the pandemic itself could sideline some of the armies of workers involved in the effort.

“Everything has to come together—the packaging, the dry ice, the vials, the material itself. It all has to come together to the same place and have enough of it and exactly the right people there ready to take it,” said Yossi Sheffi, director of the MIT Center for Transportation & Logistics. “Right now, there’s no conductor to the symphony,” just many parts that each need to work.

The vaccine

The journey starts in a factory just outside St. Louis, where Pfizer scientists make the raw materials that are the backbone of the vaccine. Those materials move on to Andover, Mass., where researchers turn them into mRNA—molecular couriers that deliver genetic instructions to the body.

The mRNA is dispatched to Michigan, where machines the size of single-car garages envelop them with lipid nanoparticles, microscopic vessels used to deliver genetic material into the body. Making doses takes about a week, and batches sit for about two weeks before being shipped.

The vaccine is transported in glass vials strong enough to withstand transit and the subarctic temperatures in which the liquid must be stored. Trays carrying 195 vials are packed with dry ice in suitcase-like boxes weighing 80 pounds. Those vaccines eventually are diluted with enough saline solution to make 975 doses.

Because Pfizer needs dry ice to keep its vaccine cold, it bought its own dry-ice-making equipment. Now it is making dry ice at both the Kalamazoo plant, where 650 employees worked on distribution efforts, and a storage facility in Pleasant Prairie, Wis., where it has freezer farms to store the vaccines.

Pfizer bought three tanks to hold the carbon dioxide used to make dry ice, each the size of a three-story grain silo. Assembly lines end with machines that shoot out the dry-ice pellets used to blanket the vials inside containers, each holding about 1,000 vials.

Inside each box, a device about the size of a cellphone measures temperatures, records GPS and can detect if a box is opened. Pfizer can track the boxes until they arrive at their destinations.

“We actually know every moment in the journey, and the temperature, and there were no deviations,” said Mike McDermott, the Pfizer global-supply president overseeing the manufacturing and distribution.

Pfizer has been testing the boxes for months, shipping them empty to places like Dubai and Africa, then conducting runs with airlines, logistics companies and certain states.

Supply chain experts said problems could develop given the newness of Pfizer’s operation. Raw materials or batches might need to be discarded, filled vials could break in transit and the containers could be mishandled by recipients. Pfizer has even instituted safety measures to prevent the theft of doses.

The kits

Vaccinating the nation also requires the simultaneous mass distribution of face masks, needles, syringes and alcohol wipes needed to administer shots, along with saline solution to dilute vials and create doses.

For weeks, workers in McKesson facilities across the U.S. have been filling boxes with those supplies, and on Wednesday, the company began shipping the containers, each weighing up to 50 pounds and holding enough supplies for 1,000 doses.

After stopping at a storage and distribution hub in Louisville, Ky., the boxes were ferried by United Parcel Service Inc. planes and trucks to hundreds of nursing homes, hospitals and pharmacy hubs nationwide.

Ensuring the packages arrive at the right locations is a challenge. During mock vaccine distribution exercises, some supply kits arrived two days after vaccine doses, Dr. Rachel Levine, a Pennsylvania state health official, told Congress earlier this week. A McKesson spokeswoman said that during its initial test with empty boxes, a data transmission issue was identified and resolved before actual kits were shipped.

When McKesson tested the transmission of data between itself, Pfizer and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, it found that in some instances destination data weren’t transmitted, preventing some test orders from shipping. McKesson said those issues have been resolved.

“Having syringes without vaccines isn’t very helpful,” said Bruce Gellin, president of global immunization at Sabin Vaccine Institute, a nonprofit that promotes vaccine adoption and trains immunization professionals. “It all has to go right.”

Leaving the factory

Pfizer is shipping vaccines from many locations, and some doses are made abroad. During Thanksgiving week, about 750,000 doses made in Europe arrived at Chicago O’Hare International Airport on chartered cargo flights from Brussels International Airport. More flights followed. United Airlines Inc. has made five vaccine-carrying flights from Belgium to the U.S., each capable of transporting over one million doses, the company said.

After landing in the U.S., the vaccine is trucked to FedEx Corp. and UPS air hubs in Memphis, Louisville and elsewhere.

FedEx affixes a tracking device to every package it transports, allowing the carrier to monitor each shipment’s location. UPS has a similar scanning technology. Vaccines arriving in Memphis and other hubs get the fast-lane treatment meant for priority packages, with an early delivery commitment the next day.

Delivery networks have been stretched thin by a pandemic-fueled surge in online shopping, leaving little margin for error. Executives say holiday gifts will take a back seat to vaccines, and they have reserved enough space in their networks to handle the expected shipments.

“We’ve planned for the capacity,” said Richard Smith, president of the Americas for FedEx Express. “This is something we are confident will not overwhelm the system.”

Shipments of anything by road or air can be delayed by such vagaries as winter weather or mechanical problems.

Truck fleets that work with pharmaceutical companies undergo quality audits and certifications to ensure they adhere to global standards for the transport of medicine.

“You can’t haul chicken nuggets and then transport oncology drugs,” said Andrew Boyle, co-president of Boyle Transportation, a Billerica, Mass.-based trucking company that specializes in secure, temperature-controlled transport and is involved in Covid-19 vaccine distribution efforts.

On the move

U.S. airports have been gearing up for months, including upgrading freezer storage facilities and training staff. They are operating on a compressed timetable.

Deutsche Lufthansa AG , one of the world’s biggest air transporters of vaccines, including measles treatments, usually is notified months ahead of time about pallets of vaccines coming its way. It expects five-day notice or less for imports or exports of the Covid-19 vaccines, said Bernhard Kindelbacher, the airline’s vice president of cargo for the U.S. and Canada. “It’s the uncertainty,” he said. “What routes, what volumes, what temperatures?”

After doses land at airports close to vaccination sites, they again are loaded onto trucks.

The process will become more complex as distribution moves from large urban and suburban areas to more remote locations with smaller populations, said Susan Beardslee, principal analyst for freight transportation and logistics at technology-market advisory firm ABI Research. “In a remote area, where are you going to find those drivers that are available and used to handling [temperature-sensitive] pharmaceutical products?” she asked.

Share Your Thoughts

When do you expect the Covid-19 vaccine to be available for you? Join the conversation below.

States, big cities and U.S. territories are among the 64 federally designated places that will receive the vaccines and decide when and where they will be administered. Government officials said Saturday they expect the initial doses to arrive at 145 sites on Monday. It will be up to the states not to mismanage the complex task of making sure the right number of doses get to the right places at the right times.

When Minnesota gets the 46,800 initial doses it expects in the coming week, they will be split between health-care workers and residents and employees of long-term care facilities. At first, they will go to 25 hospitals or large pharmacies capable of handling ultracold storage. Those places will use some and distribute the rest to 118 other locations.

New Mexico will send some of its initial 17,550 doses to five major hospitals that can handle ultracold storage, for distribution to health-care workers. A state health-department warehouse in Albuquerque will get the rest of the doses, break them up into truck shipments and send them to 32 other sites, where they must be administered within five days.

Kentucky has said it would distribute most of its 38,000 initial doses to long-term care facilities through CVS Health Corp. and Walgreens Boots Alliance Inc., which have federal contracts for that job. The other 12,000 doses will go to health-care workers.

Hospitals

Once hospitals get their doses, they need to make sure the vaccines don’t spoil before they go into people’s arms, and that none go to waste.

Before the U.S. Food and Drug Administration authorized the vaccine on Friday, hospitals performed vaccination dry runs, checked backup power and temperature settings for freezers and rushed to decide who would get shots first.

To choreograph the vaccine’s arrival, hospitals have put employees on notice about the deliveries. Some staffers have hunted down photos of packaging to minimize the risk that boxes could be left unattended on loading docks, said Jessica Daley, a pharmacist and executive with Premier Inc., which contracts with pharmaceutical and other medical-supply manufacturers on behalf of hospitals.

“Everyone is very focused on ensuring that receipt of these products goes perfectly according to plan,” she said.

At Mass General Brigham, a pharmacist likely will be notified by courier of the vaccine’s arrival, said Paul Biddinger, the Boston-based hospital system’s medical director for emergency preparedness. Mass General Brigham will store its allotment in a central location before distributing it to a dozen sites, using bar codes to track deliveries.

There are exacting procedures for retrieving the vials for vaccinations. Pfizer’s containers can be opened only twice a day, and can’t stay open for more than three minutes at a time, Dr. Daley said. Smaller boxes with trays of vials can be opened for no more than three minutes, and they can’t be outside ultracold temperatures more than once every two hours.

People getting vaccinated must be moved through the line at a steady clip so the doses don’t go bad. Hospitals must stagger appointments to avoid crowding, and keep those waiting socially distanced. A missed appointment could leave hospitals with unused doses that must be thrown out, said Dr. Biddinger. “We really don’t want to waste any single dose,” he said.

Long-term care

Long-term care facilities are expected to get most of their vaccines through CVS and Walgreens, though some also will use smaller pharmacies. Each chain said it expects to receive supplies via FedEx or UPS in around 1,000 hubs, nearly all at pharmacies.

From those hubs, teams of pharmacists and other staffers will fan out to long-term care facilities, with some taking doses in small refrigerated totes. Walgreens said it is supplying about 30,000 facilities, and CVS is working with more than 40,000, so far.

“We just press ‘go’ and start running,” said Rina Shah, Walgreens vice president for pharmacy operations and services.

Pharmacies also are preparing for Covid-19 vaccines besides Pfizer’s, including one from Moderna Inc. that is under consideration for emergency authorization and could be cleared by the FDA this month.

Brad Phillips, director of operations for long-term care at Thrifty White Pharmacy, a regional chain based in Plymouth, Minn., that is supplying the vaccine to 240 facilities in North Dakota and Minnesota, said he expects to arrive at the company’s headquarters pharmacy around 6 a.m. on Dec. 28, the designated start of the long-term-care rollout in Minnesota.

If it is authorized, he and about a half-dozen colleagues will head to a nursing home in the Minneapolis area in a company van with coolers of the Moderna vaccine. There, he said, he will don a gown, mask and gloves and enter the rooms of residents to inject them.

After weeks of planning, Mr. Phillips said, he is excited to start. “As we look at the impact on people and the health-care system,” he said, “it is the biggest and most important thing I’ve been involved with.”

Four Million Parts, 30 Countries: How An Airbus A380 Comes Together

— Howard Slutsken, CNN • 28th December 2018

World's largest passenger airliner: The double-deck, four-engine Airbus A380 is the world's largest passenger airliner, measuring close to 73 meters in length and holding as many as 853 passengers.

(CNN) — It's the middle of the night in the sleepy French town of Lévignac, in the countryside just outside of Toulouse.

There are people lined up along the town's main road, waiting for a parade to begin. But there are no marching bands or decorated floats at this 1 a.m. event.

Instead, a convoy of six trucks appears, each pulling an enormous trailer carrying a massive component of the world's largest passenger airliner, the Airbus A380.

The crowds applaud as the plane's wings, fuselage sections and horizontal tailplane slowly inch their way through the provincial town -- a procession that's repeated every few weeks.

Giant Airplane Kit

The Final Assembly Line (FAL) for the double-deck, 500+ passenger A380 is in the Jean-Luc Lagardere plant, a purpose-built facility at Toulouse-Blagnac Airport in southern France.

It's also the site of the Airbus corporate HQ and flight test department, and where single-aisle A320s and wide-body A330 and A350s are built.

Since its first delivery to Singapore Airlines in 2007, more than 200 A380s have rolled off the line in Toulouse. Most of the planes, more than 100 aircraft, are flown by the Dubai-based Emirates airline.

As with other Airbus projects, the manufacturing of components for the A380 are spread among the company's facilities throughout Europe, and parts come from suppliers all over the world.

The megajet's wings are built in Broughton, Wales; fuselage sections come from Hamburg, Germany and Saint-Nazaire, France; the horizontal tailplane is manufactured in Cadiz, Spain; and the vertical tail fin is also made in Hamburg.

Getting these huge pieces of airplane to the FAL is a tightly orchestrated logistical process, overseen by Arnaud Cazeneuve, oversize surface transportation manager for Airbus.

From rivets and bolts, to seats and engines, an A380 is made up of about four million individual parts produced by 1,500 companies from 30 countries around the world.

"One A380, to me, is six components -- three fuselage sections, two wings, and the horizontal tailplane," says Cazeneuve.

Ro-ro Ships

Airbus has a fleet of three specially designed vessels to transport the A380's major components to a floating pontoon dock in Pauillac, just inland on France's Atlantic coast.

The roll-on, roll-off -- or ro-ro -- ships carry the six completed A380 sections from Airbus facilities in Wales, Germany, France, Italy and Spain.

"There is no crane activity needed," Cazeneuve tells CNN Travel.

"Each production plant puts the sections on the transport jig, and a special multi-purpose vehicle goes under the jig to move it.

"I don't have to touch the section, just transfer the component from one transport means to another."

Six by Sea, One By Air

While the six major components of an A380 are enjoying a sea cruise, the plane's vertical tail fin flies from Hamburg to Toulouse.

The fin's first flight isn't on the outside of a plane, but inside one of Airbus' A300-600ST Super Transporters -- better known as the Beluga.

These highly modified cargo carriers started life as wide-body passenger jets. Each plane's cockpit has been dropped to accommodate a cavernous cargo bay that's been grafted atop the fuselage.

The fleet of five Belugas link Airbus facilities in Europe, carrying components to FALs for all of Airbus' planes.

Even though the Beluga is designed to carry oversized cargo, it can only accommodate the vertical fin of the A380 -- all of the other major sections of the megajet are just too big.

Meanwhile, in Pauillac, the A380's six major components are unloaded, and then moved to one of two barges for the next stage of the trip to Toulouse.

The barges make four return trips over eight days, traveling 95 kilometers up the Garonne River to Langon. But from there, it's still another 240 kilometers to the FAL in Toulouse.

As each major component arrives in Langon, it's transferred to a specially designed trailer. Once all six sections arrive, the road trip to Toulouse can begin.

Road Trip

Traveling only at night, the convoy takes two evenings to cover the 240 kilometers to Toulouse, on the Itinéraire à Grand Gabarit (IGG) -- a secondary-road route that was modified to handle the extreme size of the A380's sections.

"Between Langon and Toulouse, before the A380, there was a road managed by the French authorities," says Cazeneuve.

"When we developed the project, we came to the authorities saying, 'we would like to transfer these big components on this route.'"

Airbus paid 57% of the road upgrade cost of 171 million euros ($205 million), and the government paid the remaining 43%, recognizing the economic benefit brought to the region by the A380 project.

Roads were widened, and obstructions shifted from the roadside. Over 6,500 trees were planted, three to four times the number that were removed.

Dedicated bypass roads were built, to make it easier for the convoy to navigate around some of the 21 towns and villages on the route.

As well as a slew of other changes, roundabouts were rebuilt to allow the trucks to pass directly over the center of the traffic circles.

More than 35 kilometers of bicycle and horse paths were created, utilizing the new wider right-of-way.

Hero's Welcome

"When you're driving on the road, you feel that this is used by the A380," says Cazeneuve. "You know that this is something different than a normal road."

A calendar showing the planned convoy dates is available on the IGG website, and local residents are reminded three days before each convoy begins its trip, via roadside display boards.

As the trucks move through the night, the route is closed in sections to regular traffic, for both the safety and security of the convoy -- and then there's the town of Lévignac.

Instead of using a bypass, the convoy travels directly though the center of the town. This is the one section of the IGG where each truck is accompanied by spotters, walking alongside the trailers -- and for good reason.

"There is just 50 centimeters clearance on each side between the component and the buildings. People in the buildings are watching the components go by, right in front of their windows," says Cazeneuve.

Once through Lévignac, it's just an hour's drive to the convoy's final stop, at the FAL in Toulouse.

Although he might lose some sleep, Cazeneuve regularly heads out from Toulouse in the middle of the night.

"I go quite often to see the convoy, to see that everything is running well."

The 15 Craziest Cars and Futuristic Vehicles of CES 2019

There were a ton of sleek next-gen cars at CES, from snazzy luxury vehicles to eye-popping concept cars.

January 10, 2019 8 min read

This story originally appeared on PCMag

CES is a dizzying experience that takes over the entire Las Vegas Strip, but within the bedlam is a mind-bending glimpse into the future of transportation. This year we saw a slew of ;self-driving cars, new in-car ;mixed reality experiences, and even a new concept car with modular robotic legs that’s as close as we’ve seen to a real-life Transformer.

There’s a flashy tech product at CES for every kind of transportation scenario, from the most futuristic science-fiction concept cars to next-gen electric vehicles and even motorcycles, not to mention last-mile solutions like ;electric skateboards ;and ;scooters. Many of the snazziest concept cars were focused on high-tech amenities and interiors designed to keep humans comfortable and relaxed as their autonomous car cruises.

We also came across some other eye-popping smart vehicles, like a flying drone helicopter taxi and a smart yacht. We threw those in just for fun.

Nissan IMx Kuro

PC Mag

Nissan’s IMx Kuro concept vehicle is a fully autonomous electric crossover with zero emissions. We likely won’t see it in production until at least 2020, but the Kuro’s simplified exterior and spacious interior wowed on the CES show floor; not to mention the car’s panoramic OLED display on its dashboard. A separate, wood grain-patterned display wrapping around the interior door trims bring an extra sense of zen to the in-car experience.

Mitsubishi Emirai 4

Image credit:

PC Mag

Mitsubishi showed off the latest version of its Emirai 4 smart mobility concept car, which it has brought to CES with flashy new upgrades for each of the past few years. It’s got a heads-up augmented reality display with 3D mapping, as well as a half mirror with a diagonal LCD panel to give the driver 3D images of the environment. There’s an autonomous mode too, and plenty of other interior bells and whistles, like haptic feedback control, smart home and mobile payment integration, and biometric authentication.

Mercedes-Benz CLA

Image credit:

PC Mag

The highest profile vehicle reveal for a car you can actually buy was the debut of the 2020 Mercedes-Benz CLA. The second-gen coupe comes with a bevy of digital features and in-car improvements, as well as Mercedes’ first semi-autonomous driving system with a hands-free mode, and the auto maker’s new MBUX voice control system. It also syncs with the newly announced Mercedes-branded ;Garmin Vívoactive 3 ;smartwatch. The 2020 CLA will go on sale later this year; official pricing has not yet been announced.

Mercedes-Benz Vision Urbanetic

Image credit:

PC Mag

Mercedes also had a futuristic concept vehicle of its own, the Vision Urbanetic autonomous driving platform with switchable bodies. The vehicle’s Tron-like exterior houses a fairly simple urban transportation concept: it can be fitted with a passenger module with room for 20 people (8 sitting, 4 standing) as a sort of ride-sharing taxi, or a cargo module for transporting freight goods or package delivery. The base of the vehicle is the part that’s doing the autonomous driving; it also houses the electric batteries, motors, and the Urbanetic’s propulsion system. It’s an adjustable minibus (for either people or cargo) in a trippy body on a self-driving base.

Harley-Davidson LiveWire

Image credit:

PC Mag

The maker of American muscle hogs has released its first-ever electric motorcycle. The ;Harley-Davidson LiveWire, built in partnership with Panasonic Automotive, has built-in GPS and LTE connectivity with up to 4G LTE speeds, as well as a 4.3-inch liquid crystal touch-screen display built into the dashboard with integrated navigation and music. The LiveWire bike itself has a muscular build and a lightweight body, and goes from zero to 60mph in under 3.5 seconds. It has a high-voltage battery with an estimated range of 110 miles per charge.

BMW Vision iNext

Image credit:

PC Mag

One of our favorite concept cars of CES, the BMW Vision iNext is a ;sci-fi living room on wheels. The autonomous, electric luxury vehicle has hidden touch interfaces in wooden and cloth surfaces, an intelligent voice assistant, and screen projection anywhere in the chic interior. With an intelligent voice assistant built in, a roomy, carpeted back seat, and a smart wood coffee table that responds to touch gestures, it’s a palatial ;Jetsons-like experience for a future when humans are lounging in their cars instead of driving.

Waymo One

Image credit:

PC Mag

Alphabet’s Waymo self-driving car service was showing off an autonomous minivan on the show floor, outfitted with Lidar arrays and a camera installation on the roof. The offshoot’s new ;Waymo One ;is the autonomous division’s first commercial self-driving service offered to hundreds of early riders who have been helping to test the technology.

Audi Aicon

Image credit:

PC Mag

First unveiled in 2017, this electric autonomous vehicle was one of the sleekest we saw on the show floor. The concept car, which Audi hopes to turn into a production vehicle by 2021, has four motors and a range of 435 to 497 miles per charge. Audi said it can charge up to 80 percent in less than 30 minutes wirelessly. The interior showcases a fully self-driving future — there are no pedals or steering wheel visible, just luxurious indoor seating and a transparent roof.

2020 Lincoln Aviator

Image credit:

PC Mag

Lincoln was at CES with the 2020 Lincoln Aviator, a 450-horsepower plug-in hybrid crossover. There’s a 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged V6 engine, and a host of tech improvements and smart user interface upgrades. Drivers can unlock the vehicle with their smartphones rather than a key fob, and the owners can tap into features like traffic jam assist, park assist, adaptive suspension, and drive modes like Conserve and Excite to add some automatic controls to the manual experience. It’s also got a 28-speaker Revel Ultima 3D audio system.

Nvidia Drive Autopilot

Image credit:

PC Mag

Nvidia showed off a souped-up autonomous vehicle with its new Drive Autopilot system at CES. The graphic card manufacturer’s Xavier automotive-grade hardware can be integrated throughout the vehicle — including a heavy duty computer in the trunk — to enable Level 2 autonomy, meaning it has driver-assistance systems to control acceleration, braking, and steering to help out human drivers.

Byton M-Byte

Image credit:

PC Mag

Tesla competitor Byton showcased two different autonomous, electric models this year. The M-Byte prototype, which debuted at CES ;last year, is the less expensive of the two, a $45,000 electric crossover that goes into production this year. It has a 48-inch touch screen stretching across the entire dashboard, a small touch display in the wheel, and an array of cameras all housed in a luxury SUV body.

Byton K-Byte

Image credit:

PC Mag

The Byton K-Byte premium sedan is coming in 2021 with Level 4 autonomous driving, meaning it can drive without human oversight. The K-Byte features similar interior touch screens plus a digital grille on the exterior. Unlike other self-driving cars, the Byton’s side “LiGuard” sensors are retractable when it’s not in autonomous mode. Both cars will have Amazon Alexa integrated into the Byton OS.

Hyundai Elevate

Image credit:

PC Mag

The ;Hyundai Elevate ;is the closest we’ve gotten to a real-life Transformer. The concept car can walk or climb over obstacles with extendable robotic legs on a modular, multi-use chassis that shrinks down into driving mode. The car can swap out different attachments, and is capable of climbing a 5-foot vertical wall or over a 5-foot gap while keeping its passengers level. By blending electric car and robotics technology, the Hyundai Elevate feels like a step toward sci-fi.

Bell Nexus Air Taxi

Image credit:

PC Mag

One of the most unconventional, eye-catching concept vehicles at CES this year was the ;Bell Nexus Air Taxi, a massive flying hybrid of a drone crossed with a helicopter. Bell describes this behemoth as a rideshare in the air, and is testing it in Dallas, Dubai, and Los Angeles. The electric hybrid has a range of 150 miles, but don’t expect to see it flying around anytime soon. Bell hopes to release it in 2025. Sitting in the high-tech cockpit flanked by high-res touch screens and control sticks, the Bell Nexus feels like it’s dropped straight out of a futuristic fleet on its way to drop off a squadron of Darkseid soldiers.

Furrion Adonis Yacht

Image credit:

PC Mag

We had to include the yacht. The 78-foot Furrion Adonis towered over the CES show floor, showing off a high-tech luxury cruiser that Furrion calls a “smart yacht.” The Adonis has an onboard, voice-activated AI called Angel, who can control electronics, entertainment, kitchen appliances, the yacht’s facial-recognition camera system, and more. The virtual concierge can be summoned by saying “Hi, Angel” to order food from the kitchen, control music, get news and weather updates, or shop. The Adonis is also packed with smart interactive mirror displays throughout the yacht and cabins and Furrion Sense TVs with built-in soundbars. It’s even got a drone and drone port on the top deck. If PCMag gave out a Bougiest Tech at CES Award, the Furrion Adonis would be the runaway winner.

Aerobility to Expand Fleet with Former MOD Vigilant T1 Gliders

The MOD’s Defence Equipment and Support (DE&S) organisation has sold 63 decommissioned Vigilant T1 aircraft to Aerobility, an UK-based charity which provides flying experiences to those with disabilities and injured ex-military personnel. The first batch of 10 motor gliders will be modified and refurbished by German company GROB Aircraft SE – the original manufacturer and Design Authority – to meet civil certification standards. The remaining aircraft will be engineered and recertified in the UK, where the charity has identified a qualified engineering partner in Southern Sailplanes, based in West Berkshire. Hampshire-based Aerobility will initially more than double its fleet with eight Vigilants thanks to a grant from the Department for Transport (DfT); meaning they will be able to help about 2,600 people into the air every year compared to 1,000 currently.

Clive Walker, head of the Defence Equipment Sales Authority (DESA) in DE&S, said, “I am very pleased to see the RAF Vigilant T1 gliders move on to a new lease of life, in particular supporting the excellent work of Aerobility in creating flying experiences and opportunities for those who might otherwise never get the chance to fly.” Glider modifications will include new engines, propellers and refurbished cockpits, and the charity hopes the first glider will be ready to fly in the summer of 2021. Aircraft that aren’t used for flights will be refurbished and sold to generate revenue for the charity, pay for the ongoing costs of their operational fleet and help them branch out into other parts of the British Isles. Aerobility’s CEO, Mike Miller-Smith MBE, said, “Acquiring these aircraft will help us transform the lives of an even greater number of disabled people by giving them the unrivalled sense of freedom through the magic of flight. We are extremely grateful to the Ministry of Defence, Department for Transport and our various partners for supporting us in this ambitious project. Not only will it help us build capacity for our future operations, it will enable us to expand the charity to support more disabled people and to do so at additional locations around the UK.” The sale will create four full-time engineering jobs, one project management role and one administration position at the charity. They will also need a full-time co-ordinator and a part-time flying instructor, with all positions being filled by candidates with a disability where possible.

Amazon Crash Points to Lax Safety for Cargo Operations Compared to Passenger Airlines

Article

0 Comments

Passenger airlines in the U.S. have recorded a remarkable period of safety over the past 10 years.

Not so the nation’s cargo planes. Five domestically registered aircraft have crashed since 2009 — killing 16 people — including Saturday’s violent plunge into a bay near Houston of a plane carrying Amazon.com Inc. packages.

While no cause has been identified for that crash, which killed all three people aboard, it has revived concerns that safety standards for such things as mandatory sleep breaks for pilots or fire safety regulations are more lax on the cargo airlines than their passenger counterparts.

The Federal Aviation Administration, as part of its ongoing efforts to monitor safety issues, had been “taking a focused look at cargo operations” before the accident, the agency said in a statement on Monday night. The FAA also said it was looking at “any additional measure that may be warranted.”

John Cox, president of consulting company Safety Operating Systems and a former airline pilot, said “there have been a higher number of cargo accidents than passenger accidents almost as far back as I can remember.” And, he said, “That still continues today.”

There’s been just a single death on U.S.-registered passenger airlines since Feb. 12, 2009.

“We do have some safety concerns that remain,” said Captain Robert Travis, president of the Independent Pilots Association, which represents about 3,000 United Parcel Service Inc. pilots.

Equalizing Regulations

The Air Line Pilots Association, which represents flight crews at FedEx Corp., has called for equalizing the safety and security regulations for passenger and cargo flights. “Lesser requirements are placed on all-cargo operations in several crucial areas, which results in unnecessary safety risk,” the union said in a position paper posted on its website.

Little is known about what caused the Atlas Air wide body Boeing Co. 767-300, operating on behalf of Amazon, to suddenly dive from about 5,800 feet (1,768 meters) into a bay as it approached Houston. A video captured from a nearby jail showed the plane didn’t turn or try to pull out of the plunge in its final seconds, according to National Transportation Safety Board Chairman Robert Sumwalt.

Atlas Air Worldwide Holdings Inc. fell 5.76 percent Monday to $55.51. The company said in a statement that it was “deeply saddened” by the crash and was assisting the victims’ families.

The accident drew attention to the safety records of passenger compared to cargo airlines.

Cox said safety in the cargo arena has improved along with passenger airlines and that he wouldn’t characterize the industry as unsafe. However, cargo operations sometimes occur in more hazardous conditions, such as during the middle of the night or at airports that aren’t as well equipped, he said.

In some areas, the regulations aren’t as rigorous for cargo flights, he said.

Cargo carriers follow older regulations that require pilots get at least eight hours of rest each day. The newer rules for passenger airlines, which went into effect in 2014, call for at least 10 hours off between shifts to ensure crew members can reach a hotel room and still get close to eight hours of sleep.

The new rules also added requirements designed to reduce fatigue, including cutting the amount of hours crews can work per day if they fly late at night.

The cargo industry has a good safety record and any differences in how it’s regulated are the result of its unique operating requirements, said George Novak, president of the National Air Carrier Association, a trade group representing freight haulers, including Atlas.

“If the FAA felt there was a serious safety lapse or a gap, action would have been taken some time ago,” Novak said.

The association has been participating the FAA’s review of cargo safety, he said.

The difference in the safety record of passenger and cargo carriers is even more stark when comparing the number of flights they make: In 2017, the most recent year for which complete data is available, passenger flights totaled 9 million compared to 603,000 for cargo, almost 15 times higher, according to U.S. Transportation Department data.

The NTSB objected to cargo carriers being excluded from the 2014 rules designed to give airline pilots more rest, particularly when they fly late at night.

“The NTSB disagrees with this exclusion, as many of the fatigue-related accidents that we have investigated over the years involved cargo operators,” the safety board wrote to the FAA in a 2013 letter.

One factor that has led to accidents is the higher likelihood of hazardous or flammable material being carried on cargo flights, according to accident reports.

Dubai Crash

A UPS Boeing 747 crashed in Dubai on Sept. 3, 2010, after a fire erupted on the plane and pilots couldn’t reach the airport. The plane was carrying more than 81,000 lithium-based batteries, which can burn at high temperatures or explode, according to a report by the General Civil Aviation Authority of the United Arab Emirates.

While guidelines adopted by the United Nations International Civil Aviation Organization and followed by airlines prohibit bulk shipments of such batteries on passenger flights, there are no such restrictions on cargo airlines.

Both UPS and FedEx have taken numerous steps to ensure manufacturers package batteries properly and are exploring better equipment to contain fires.

“Although the companies have been very proactive, there’s always the opportunity for some undeclared hazmat to get through and that’s a concern,” Travis said.

One accident illustrating the hazards of carrying cargo occurred April 29, 2013, at Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan.

A National Air Cargo Inc. 747 under contract to the U.S. military crashed shortly after takeoff when heavy vehicles in the cargo hold broke loose and slid backward, damaging flight controls. All seven people aboard died.

The NTSB identified issues with the airline’s procedures for restraining large loads and said the FAA didn’t adequately oversee safety at the carrier.
