GE Energy encourages research by Mexicans
2008-03-20
Mexico City- Last generation airplane turbines and components for
the energy industry are designed and manufactured every day by
Mexican engineers in GE Energy plant in Queretaro, to be sold all
over the world.
According to Giovanni Alloy, the Company General Director, they
are willing to put their money in Mexican engineers and will
therefore expand their design center which currently employs one
thousand 50 engineers, so that 50 engineers more work there by the
beginning of 2010.
it is the largest Engineering Center in the world and the only one
GE has in Latin America・ Alloy pointed-out and further said that
half of the plant works on the technological developments for the
energy industry and the other half on aerospace industry.
The energy area is focused on the development of technology related
to combined cycles, renewable resources, Aeolian energy and nuclear
reactors; only in this area there are five Mexican engineers. In
aviation, engineers work on the development and design of airplane
turbines such as those operating in Aeromexico and Interjet
airplanes.
In the Queretaro Center the Company designs, together with Boeing,
an engine that will be assembled in a 787, which among other things
will provide for 20% fuel savings.
The arrival of GE to Queretaro was two decades ago, when together
with other partnerships they established a center where engineering
was developed for General Electric with 70 specialists.

Aerospace Industry generates 16 thousand 500 jobs and includes 10
companies in the field, ranking third in Mexico with the largest
number of companies operating in this sector the Ministry of
Industrial Development informed.
In a press release, the Ministry states that there are 10 more
companies in this sector considering the idea to establish new
production projects. Even if the number of jobs generated by this
sector in the State has practically doubled in recent years, it is
still a small portion compared to the total number of jobs in the
Mexican exports-assembly industry, which generates 1.2 million jobs.
The Ministry of Industrial Development pointed-out that the State
Government fosters a new aerospace cluster in Chihuahua, for this is
an industry with high growth all over the world, and promotes
industrial scaling towards a capital and technology intensive
sector, which requires more personnel with technical and
professional degrees.
The companies already established in the State of Chihuahua are:
Honeywell Aerospace, which manufactures turbines for Boeing 737;
Labinal Safran Group, which works in harnesses manufacturing,
engineering and design; SGI-Electro Switch, which operates in the
electronic sector. There are also Textron Cessna, which produces
harnesses; Aersoan that works in metallic structures field; Cambrian
Industries in machined area; Capsonic Automotive & Aerospace that
produces parts for turbines. Another company is Hawker Beechcraft
Corporation, Zodiac which manufactures emergency products and Air
Crussiers.
Among the companies established in Chihuahua Hawker Beechcraft
Corporation stands out for its impact and investment, it is the
first aircraft assembler that arrived in Chihuahua and the second in
Mexico, and therefore the State has a very good position and is
taking important steps towards the consolidation of the aeronautic
sector. This Company has the project to assemble King Air airplanes
in the State in four years.
There is also Labinal Safran Group which has around three years in
the State and which currently employs three thousand people; in a
short time they have opened two plants in different industrial
parks.
In addition to this investment this Company will install in
Chihuahua City its third Airplane Parts Design Center in the world;
they already have one in France and another one in the United
States.

Seems like beechcraft will also build aircraft in mexico
Well if Argentina got so close in the 1980s why haven’t I seen any Argentina nuke subs 20 years on? If I’m so ignorant of south Americas ability to build a nuclear submarine please enlighten me with facts, details which are backed up by sources. These facts and details will need to have direct connection with nuclear submarine design, development, expertise, manufacture and sustainability. Please I do not want pointless worthless pictures of planes because there the opposite of submarines they maybe technologically advanced but still the opposite…. Also I will say for sake of not having an argument that Brazil can afford it. I’m more concerned with time-scale and the quality of the boats when produced. Go on teach me!
Tras la Guerra de las Malvinas, el titular de la CNEA, vicealmirante Carlos Castro Madero, en forma reservada puso en marcha la idea de construir un submarino a propulsión nuclear como una forma de cerrar la brecha tecnológica con Gran Bretaña.
After the falklands war, the vice almirant Carlos Castro Madero started the idea of developing a nuclear submarine to close the technological gap with the UK
Argentina tried to install a nuclear reactor to a conventional diesel submarine like this one, “the San Juan”.

Carlos madero`s project was given to the INVAP by the Argentine navy, the INVAP is the same reseach center that builds the (KAREM) nuclear reactor for Australia.
The Nuclear reactor design was headed by Juan José Gil Gerbino, we did work to build a compact nuclear reactor like the San Juan
proyecto de Castro Madero fue encargado por la Armada a INVAP, la misma empresa que construye el reactor de investigación nuclear para Australia. El diseño del reactor para el submarino estuvo a cargo del físico Juan José Gil Gerbino. “Trabajamos en el diseño básico para colocar un reactor compacto en un submarino como el San Juan”,
La idea de especialistas argentinos de incluir en el casco del submarino, que actualmente se construye en la Argentina, una planta nuclear de diseño apropiado es factible
The idea of argentine researches of fitting a nuclear reactor in the hull of a conventional submarine is totally feasible

if you want to know why they have not built it well simply economics, not a lack of technology as you suppose, in fact both the Karem and ARAMAR nuclear reactors were made as powerplants for nuclear submarines
complejo que hasta el año 1994, manejó la Armada. En la época de Menem, las instalaciones quedaron prácticamente abandonadas y si bien es cierto que estaba montado desde la década del 80, JAMAS fabricamos allí el submarino nuclear con el que habían soñado varios gobiernos argentinos tras la segunda guerra mundial.
This shipyard that until the 1994 was managed by the Argentine Navy.
During the Menem administration the shipyard was abandoned and left to rust, if it is true that since the 1980s it was in operation, we never built there the nuclear submarine that several argentine governments had dreamt with
Lo único que recordaba es que hace algunos años, Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, estuvo allí ufanándose por la puesta en marcha de los astilleros SPI, que con 25 años de trayectoria en Mar del Plata, recalaban en Buenos Aires para ocupar una gran porción del edificio principal que fuera construido por los alemanes en la década del 80, para fabricar nada más y nada menos que un submarino NUCLEAR.
The only thing i can recall is that several years ago Cristina Fernández de Kirchner was trying to reopen the shipyards SPI that have a history of 25 years in Mar del Plata that were built in great part to house a nuclear submarine by German naval engineers

Embrarer has rolled out thousands planes & still it is learning? it is mean it is not learning. u need to roll out couple of planes to learn every thing for those who understand.
Russia is understating the statistics. it will scare the world if truth comes out & there will be fear of take over of natural resources & all strategic industries.
This is pretty much useless press release. u should understand the difference between subsidiaries & own intellectual potential.
Man please do not make me laugh, building an aircraft industry from a propeller aircraft in the 1960s to the fourth largest aircraft maker in 30 Years even surpassing Russia in sales means you are learning too fast, however realities of aircraft construction means Embraer builds not all the aircraft, Embraer needs partners, however the next generation of aircraft will have a higher content of parts made in Brazil.
from this
to the E-195 in less than 30 years
No one is saying Brazil makes everything, niether all the design was done in Brazil, so your game of in Russia they build everything is not logic because the latest Superjet has European and American technology too
Damn man, America is so poor!
Yeah, the picture strategy is amazing. :rolleyes:
ROFL…
What Jungleboy has pointed out it is correct, he has mentioned that despite Brazil has a relatively good industry, there is still poverty, real one, where children are homeless and street children abound, how can you think a nation will have a future if its youth is in poverty how those street children will develop high tech?
he is right specially when he mentions real aspects about the poverty in Brazil, Brazil is trying to build a nuclear submarine and still in some parts of Brazil poverty is endemic, in Russia also is similar, they spend large amounts of money when still in some aspects poverty affects a great part of the Russian population.
Both countries have developed an stratety to coupe with the competing international situation for trade and commerce, this implies to have more domestic technology, Brazil also has developed nuclear reactors that eventually can be used to generate electricity and at the long run power a submarine, however since technology has dual uses you can have a nuclear powered submarine and a nuclear reactor generating cheap electricity for a city like Buenos Aires or Rio do Janeiro.
you can have a VLS to launch telecommunications satellites or use it to carry a nuclear warhead
However it is an irony that many empoverished nations spend large amounts of money in weapons and still have street children and homeless people
Russia isn´t in this situation. You´re missinformed about Russia. And on the ohter hand we have Brazil with poverty, ignorance and without weapons.
Good pictures of “The Country Of The Future”.
Would you like some more?
Are those children supose to build nuclear submarines and even space crafts to Brazil?
It´s a very interesting picture but it was taken in 1998.
It´s reflects better standards of living.
The currenty russia GPD Per capita is $14,600 against $9,700 of Brazil. Those are 2007 numbers.
the GDP per capita does not reflect the wealth of a Nation, unless it has a high HDI
That is the reason you can not see that despite Cuba has a low GDP per capita has a higher HDI than Russia.
Mexico and Chile also have lower GDPs than Russia and both Have higher Human Developmen Indexes, the GDP PPP per
capita does not mean every one makes that money simply means under the dollar value and local prices the industrial production or GDP however the HDI means the quality of life and the living standards of a nation; in 2007 Russia has a HDI of 0.81 and Brazil of 0.80, the living standards in Russia are similar simply because in Russia there is an oligachy and a terrible wealth distribution as it happens in latin america

street kids in Russia
http://www.vladmission.org/Street_Kids/street_kids.htm
Poverty as we all know also exist in Russia, worshiping weapons does not mean they are wealthy, in Russia weapons are worship but poverty still lingers, Embraer at least makes its revenue from mostly civil sales

The Russian government estimates about two million Russian children are homeless

There are around 50,000 street children in Moscow

Young people represent almost half of all HIV infections worldwide. The HIV epidemic in Russia, one of the fastest growing in the world, is most heavily concentrated among the young: 80% of new HIV infections occur among people 15 to 30 years old. Street youth – young people who live on the street some or all of the time – constitute a group particularly at risk. Abandoned, abused, or neglected, they often organize into groups as they negotiate survival, performing odd jobs and engaging in activities that place them at risk for HIV, including transactional sex and drug use.
Experts estimate there are 1 to 3 million street youth in Russia, with an estimated 10-16,000 in St. Petersburg alone

So yeah that is one of the reason why Russia is not building weapons like before but still they have a higher military defence budget than Brazil
With this do not misunderstand me i am not denying there is poverty in latin america, because we have it, simply that Russia is more or less in the level of Brazil and Mexico slightly better than Brazil and slightly worse than Mexico, there is unfortunely poverty and street kids in all these nations but it does not mean that Russia is paradise simply because it can build a Delta class submarine or a Typhoon class submarine

these are individual opinions. some may say Dubai/london are even better. but it has nothing to do with the topic or government resources to execute such things.
If Embarer is so succesful why not it make larger plane like Airbus/Boeing. it has pretty much access to same supplier base. think over it. E-170 is clearly inferior product to Sukhoi SSJ but sales does not soley depends on product characteristics.
Man ambraer currently builds aricraft in the size of the A-321 and B-737 and they are selling enough, more than any Tu-204 or Il-96
Embraer sells ten E170 jets to Japan Airlines, with options for fivenews
