That Airbus uses the “taxibots”

by

Airbus has officially certified the necessary modifications so that its unique corridor aircraft can use the Taxibot, an electric hybrid tug that transports the aircraft from the terminals to the take -off track without having to turn on the engines. With this, the idea is to reduce the fuel used by aircraft on land, as well as the noise of airports. According to AirbusThis technology would reduce fuel consumption by 50%, while contributing to a less noisy airport and other benefits. The great advantage: Taxibot eliminates the need to use plane engines during filming by land, which translates into significant fuel savings, less CO2 and NOX emissions, and a considerable reduction in noise in airports. The studies From Schiphol airport they suggest that in long journeys towards distant clues, fuel savings can reach 85%. In addition to fuel savings and lower noise in airports, taxibots can help reduce operating and maintenance costs of the plane, since operating the shooting engines (taxiing) wears out plane components and is an unnecessary cost. As if that were not enough, it also helps reduce pollution and contribute to a more sustainable use of aircraft. How it works: According to Airbus, the system requires small modifications in the plane bay of the plane. The Taxibot engages the front landing train, raising Morro’s wheel on a pivoting platform. After the initial connection by the tugboat driver, the pilot takes control from the cabin using the same usual management and brake controls. The engines only light up just before takeoff. WHERE IT IS TESTING: Several important airports are already doing pilot tests, including Schiphol in Amsterdam, JFK in New York, Charles de Gaulle in Paris, New Delhi and Brussels. Easyjet plans to carry out essays in Schiphol for 2025. These airports are ideal candidates due to long distances between terminals and tracks. The European context: This technology is part of the Heron projecta European initiative coordinated by Airbus that seeks to optimize airport operations both on land and in the air. Heron has 24 partners from ten different countries, including airlines, airports and service suppliers, and will conclude in December 2025. The use of taxibots in airports can be an excellent play from the European Union to contribute to the transport robotization career, both vehicles and people and goods. The objective: that becomes a standard. From 2026 a completely electric version of Taxibot will be available, and a variant for wide fuselage aircraft is also being developed. Airbus, after three years working to optimize the system for its unique corridor aircraft, now considers extending it to the rest of its fleet. The ultimate goal is to convert Taxibot into the standard procedure for the movement of aircraft on land.

What is and how to avoid it

by

Let’s explain A new type of WhatsApp scamin which they steal the account by means of a video call and then take advantage of access to it to start asking for money for money for Bizum To all your contacts. Therefore a double scam, because they take the account and use it to cheat other contacts. We are going to start this article explaining the functioning of this new cybercrime method, so you can identify it in the event that they try to use it against you. Then, we will give you some tips to avoid it. How are you stealing with a video call It all starts when the user receives a video call from a contact. The video call is strange, since the screen looks dark and you can’t see who is on the other side. This person will tell you that he has problems with the mobile, Power that you share the screen To see if with these changes the mobile begins to work. When you share your screen, the cybercrime will try to identify in your WhatsApp account. When I try to do it, it will come to you An SMS with the verification code. And there is the trick, when the message arrives while you share a screen, The attacker can see the codeand use it to access your WhatsApp account. Once the criminal steals your account, he can combine two ways to proceed. You can start asking for money for Bizum to other contacts making you pass through you, and you can also make a WhatsApp video call to steal their account also, and start an expansive wave effect. The contacts that receive the video call will think that it is you, and will try to help … falling into the trap. How to avoid falling into the scam Here, the problem of this scam is that cybercriminal will call you using the number of one of your contactsmaking stores to trust that perhaps if you have problems. But the main advice is Do not share screen if you are not watching the other person’s face. Do not share your screen with your friends, with your children or your parents if you are not watching the camera through the camera. If they call you from the number of someone you know well, then you can directly Ask some question that only that person can knowabout some common experience you have. You can explain that you know that there are scams of this type and that you prefer to make sure. Never share a verification code In no other way. These codes are sent to verify that whoever is trying to enter an account is you, sending you by SMS a code to verify that it is you who is in front of the mobile that uses the phone number to whose account you want to enter.

China has resurrected the most crazy plane of the USSR. The Ekranoplano returns to life, and the big question is why

by

In 2020 he went viral A video Through a drone that was recording images of a beach in the Caspian Sea. Suddenly, the clip showed one of the greatest fantasies of Soviet aviation: An ekranoplano Varado, a unique piece of the so -called Cold War as “marine monster” that never occurred in mass due to its costs (and benefits). Five years later, a nation has resurrected the idea of ​​the great hybrid between plane and ship: China. Emerging silhouette. Yes, because for the first time, they have emerged Complete images of the new soil effect vehicle (Wig) Chinese, an aircraft capable of flying at low altitude on aquatic surfaces using the so -called “air mattress efficiency.” The device was initially identified by the naval analyst Hi Suttonand its presence in the Bahai Sea, northwest of the Yellow Sea, has not gone unnoticed. In the first photographs, part of its structure remained hidden, but the new shots have revealed Your full silhouetteconfirming its configuration as a large ekranoplane with a hidravion helmet. Amazing design. Its development, unknown so far in the Chinese aeronautical inventory, keeps a certain resemblance to The AG600the amphibious hydroavion that China develops For rescue, refueling and logistics missions in the disputed sea of ​​southern China. The appearance of this vehicle feeds the growing global trend to revitalize the soil effect platforms, technology that, as we said at the beginning, the Soviet Union He thoroughly explored during The cold war but that never became popular outside its experimental margins. Between the shadow and the radar. The operational principle of these aircraft is simple and shocking: fly to a very low height On water it allows to take advantage of a dense layer of compressed air that increases support and reduces resistance. In addition, when staying below the terrestrial radar horizon, these vehicles are more difficult to detect and track. Unlike ships, they are not vulnerable to mines or submarines, and although they are not suitable for highly answered combat areas, they could effectively operate in coastal or semi-permissive scenarios. Its possible utility, let’s put the assumption of a war between China and the United States, would be significant, especially considering that China would fight in its own geographical environment immediate. The EkranoPlano would serve as a logistics platform to bring supplies to remote coastal areas, evacuate personnel or even fulfill anti -submarine war and limited maritime control functions, thanks to its ability to quickly insert itself into remote areas and return without the need for port infrastructure. Propulsion, design and doubts. One of the great unknowns posed by this new vehicle is its propulsion system. The available images, although of low resolution, show a kind of Large rear tobares that have raised speculations about whether it is an aircraft with reaction engines, with propellers not yet installed or, even, with an unpublished hybrid-electric system. The NACELLES They present air tickets at the top that could point towards a bimotor design With turboreactor propulsionbut the presence of possible axes or pointed structures on the front suggest that it could be equipped with great thrust propellers to install. Nothing is confirmed. The current versions of this device They could be prototypes Technological demonstration, subscales aimed at informing future developments, or operational models in a stealth test phase. The possibility of using latest generation composite materials to reduce weight, improve aerodynamics and decrease radar signature reinforces the hypothesis of a modern and highly specialized design. New mobility paradigm. Plus: The profile of the new Chinese EkranoPlano shows clear similarities with The Liberty Lifterthe great American project for a Heavy load wig. Both share a conception based on high efficiency platforms to operate on vast oceanic extensions without depending on aerodromes, tracks or ports. The Chinese apparatus presents a V -tail, a typical staging fuselage of hydroAvions, stabilizing floats at the ends of the wings and in the center of the helmet, and a large side door that makes it suitable for transport personnel or materials. Its nose, stylized and aerodynamically integrated, also suggests special attention to functional design. This set of characteristics reinforces the theory that China could be developing a versatile and tactical platform to operate in Coastal environments playedespecially in the context of a sea of ​​increasingly militarized southern China. What will come. The public appearance of Now called “Monster of the Bohai Sea”, as the first naval analysts have baptized it, opens the door to intensive monitoring by experts and Western agencies. As lighter images arise and possibly videos of their first tests in the open sea, the analysis will be refined and the evaluation of its potential will pass from the speculative to the doctrinal. For now, its single existence implies that China, like other powers, is seriously investing in asymmetric capacities that Challenge the limitations traditional logistics. This EkranoPlano is not yet a strategic threat by itself, but represents a clear symbol of Beijing’s technological and military ambition: fast, stealthy mobility, close to its coasts and out of the immediate reach of conventional western detection or deterrence tools.

In his plan to put Europe against the strings, China has a master plan: attack the French alcohol

by

China has imposed tariffs of up to 34.9% for five years to Brandy from the European Union, exempting the punishment of the main producers of French Coñac (Hennesy, Rémy Martin and Pernod Ricard, among others), under condition that they sell at a minimum agreed price. The measure It emerges a year after Antidumping research which China launched in early 2024. What happened. The Chinese Ministry of Commerce reported on Saturday of “anti -dumping” tariffs between 27.7% and 34.9% to Brandy imports from the EU. The new rates apply to all distributors, except for those companies with which minimum prices will be agreed. As long as the products of these companies are exported to China, fulfilling the agreed conditions, they will not be subject to anti -dumping rights. Why it is important. With this movement, China has ensured the commitment of 34 Brandy producers of the European Union. The country led by Xi Jinping is using French alcohol as a geopolitical control strategy, a pressure game in which it shows its ability to retaliate against European tariff policy. The context. New tariff rates to Brandy are no accident. China initiated its anti -dumping research at the beginning of 2024, three months after the European Union began a procedure on The influx of Chinese electric cars in Europe. It was investigated how the policy of “huge state subsidies” was translating into “artificially low prices.” Shaun Reingeneral director of the China Market Research Group based in Shanghai to Reuters, explained on those dates how the measures of the Asian country “are a shot to let Europe know that China can also plan hard measures against its growing protectionism.” The largest market in the world for brandy. China has occupied a historic role in European brandy imports. Before the growing tensions, the country was the second largest destination for world exports of French Coñac, only behind the United States. It is a market for which they earn by market value, not by volume, if not paying more for bottle. Why attack Brandy? Because France is, however much, The largest exporter of alcoholic beverage to China. Putting the focus on your product is the best way to attack Europe. China and European alcohol. Chinese predilection for European alcohol does not have brandy as the only pillar. Chinese investors have been with predilection for wines like Frenchhaving come to buy entire warehouses that years later they went on sale. Chinese groups found in European alcohol a diversification for their portfolio of assets in addition to that, as a country, China is one of the main wine consumers in the world. Despite this, this consumption has suffered an accelerated fall for about a decade. The truce. The tariff to alcohol arrives in full uncertainty about what will end up happening with the rates imposed by Europe in the Chinese car. Europe is opening the door to the elimination of themwith the aim of looking for a land price depending on the type of vehicle. The EU wants to prevent China from playing with a practically inevitable competitive advantage. With tariff or without it, The Chinese car is eating the European in front of our eyesand the destiny of the industry passes through Asia.

There is a Granada cooperative demonstrating that the opposite model to Mercadona also works: Covir will

by

The large supermarket chains have market share and penetration – or in An extraordinarily high profit margin for your sector-, but there are alternative models that without appearing at the top of those rankings, they are also successful in their own parameters. Covirán is a good case study: it is sustaining in Spain and Portugal, building an empire of proximity. Why is it important. Covirán represents the alternative approach to the dominant distribution model. Your growth strategy (rural, cooperative) goes against nature of a sector used to consolidation. This Granadina cooperative closed 2024 with revenues of 1,846 million euros (everything that is sold in all stores operating under its teaching), and with 617 million business figure of the gripo (which really invoices as a company). The negative reading is that it was just 0.13% more than in 2023. The positive reading is that the flat figure tells another story: it is changing its business model while conquering more territories. Its benefit was 2.34 million euros over 617 million. 0.38% that sounds low because it is, but that allows you to get benefit, unlike older groups such as

There are those who ask why airplanes have no parachute. This manufacturer decided to stop asking him and putting one

by

It is one of those questions that seem taken from an impromptu talk between friends: “And why don’t they put A giant parachute In the airplanes in case something happens? The company that achieved it is called Cirrus Aircraft, and for decades it has designed light airplanes for general aviation. His proposal was as simple as revolutionary: incorporating a ballistic parachute directly into the fuselage, as part of the plane design. Not as an accessory, not as optional. Serial. The system is called Caps, acronym for Cirrus Airframe Parachute Systemand it is present so much In the SR series as in the vision jetan airplane with a turbophah engine for five passengers, plus the pilot. A parachute that is not an accessory, is part of the plane CAPS operation It is as direct as its objective: saving lives when everything else fails. In the upper part of the fuselage, just behind the cabin, a capsule sealed with a large parachute is hidden. If a serious emergency occurs, the pilot only has to pull a t -shaped leverlocated on the roof of the cabin. In a matter of seconds, a small rocket purses the parachute up and it unfolds, braking the fall of the plane until it touches earth. Of course, there are conditions. The system should not be activated below 600 feet of altitude (about 180 meters above the ground), and its effectiveness is much greater if it unfolds between 600 and 2,000 feet. Above that altitude, the pilot has more margin to evaluate and make decisions, but it is still a valid option if the situation demands it. The history of the CAPS was not built from one day to another. In the mid -1990s, the Cirrus engineering team, led by Paul Johnston began to work on an idea that, at that time, seemed crazy: adapt a system of Complete parachute to a light plane. They were inspired by a previous prototype developed by BRS (Ballistic Recovery Systems)a company specialized in ballistic parachutes, which had already tried similar solutions for aircraft such as Cessna 150. A cirrus sr20 displays a parachute in a test In 1998, Cirrus performed his first real testin the southern desert of California. The person in charge of activating the system was a military pilot. That test was key: it showed that the concept worked. From there, Cirrus integrated it as a central part of the design of his first major production model, SR20. Not as an addition, but as a structural element designed from the beginning. Since its certification, the CAPS system has activated more than a hundred times in emergency situations. According to cup datauntil June 2025 they had Registered 136 deployments. Among them there are stories of people who survived motor failures, control losses or extreme weather conditions. Graphical representation of CAPS deployment On its official website, Cirrus states that its system has returned more than 250 people home alive. And some of those stories are especially shocking. Like Greg Huntleypilot and owner of a Cirrus aircraft, which suffered a motor failure on October 22, 2014. Activated the CAPs and managed to land with the plane hanging from the parachute. It was unharmed. Graphic Representation of CAPS IN ACTION Huntley flew every week for work. He had his base in Charlotte, North Carolina, and although he was never passionate about aviation, he acknowledged that he saved him a long time. On October 22, 2014 he took off like any other day. A few minutes after flight, some 5,000 feet of altitudethe engine stopped dry. “Just before declaring the emergency I thought: I have five minutes of life,” I would remember later. One of the many airplanes that used the Caps He made a clear decision: if at 3,000 feet he still did not see the terrain, he would activate the parachute. And so it was. The sky remained completely black through the windshield, so he informed by radio that he was going to display the Caps. “I have taken many children already their parents on their first flights. I always explain that if something happens to me, pull the lever (…) that morning, putting hands on the shooter, I thought: now it is you who is going to check it.” The plane descended and in less than a minute touched land in a grass field. Caps lever The climax of this philosophy came with the Cirrus Vision Jet, a small monomotor reactor certified in 2016. It was the first Jet of the world equipped as standard with a ballistic parachute for the entire aircraft. But Cirrus went further: Safe Return was added to the CAPS system, a function that allows the plane to land only in case of emergency. Button ‘safe return’ The idea is simple. If the pilot suffers a sudden disability, any passenger can press a button. At that time, the Jet Vision takes care of everything: Calculate the routecommunicates the situation to the controllers and performs the descent autonomously to land on a safe track. Caps and Safe Return thus form a fairly complete security package. Cirrus’s parachute system is not designed for all types of aircraft. It does not intend to be. Its effectiveness has to do with the type of plane into which it integrates, with its weight, its structure and the situations for which it was thought. While it is not perfect, it has managed to open a door: demonstrate that there is room to think about security from another angle.

Japan believes to have the largest deposit of rare earths hidden on a tiny island. And it is already date to extract them

by

The Rare earth They are an element of great economic and geopolitical value and China stands as the greatest power. To its Japanese neighbors He didn’t make any grace have to depend on them and, after an exhaustive search, a year ago they found the treasure: A huge site of rare earths at the bottom of the ocean. Japan has already set date to start extracting them. January 2026. It is the date on which Japan will begin with the first test extraction, according to Nikkei Asia. They expected to start this year, but the delivery of the necessary duct to reach the deposit did not reach last May and delayed the project for a year. The duct, manufactured in the United Kingdom, has cost 12,000 million yen (about 71 million euros) and will allow them to reach a depth of 5,500 meters. The Chikyu. The Japanese Marine-Terrestrial Science and Technology Agency or JAMSTECfor its acronym in English, will use the chiichyu, the name received by the Japanese drilling boat with which these valuable minerals will extract. In 2022 they already did a test at 2,500 meters deep In front of the coast of the Ibaraki Prefecture, but the challenge they face now is to drill more than double deep: 5,500 meters. If they get it, it would be the first time that rare earths are extracted to so much depth. In the first phase, Chikyu will extract 35 tons of mud. It is estimated that a ton of mud contains about 2 kilos of rare earths, so, in the best case, we could be talking about 70 kilos of rare earths. A key discovery. As we said, Japan found the site almost a year ago in front of the island of Minami-Torishima, located about 1,900 kilometers southeast of Tokyo. The site is located in the exclusive economic zone of Japan, so their extraction corresponds to them. Among the minerals it contains, one of the most abundant would be gadolinio, used in the nuclear industry, and the disposium, used mainly in magnets for electric vehicles. It would also be rich in manganese, cobalt and nickel nodules, key components in the creation of batteries. The amount is not clear and is decisive. At first there was talk of a site of 16 million tons, which would place Japan in third place behind China (44 million) and Brazil (21 million). However, a Analysis of the University of Tokyo He pointed to the loot would be much more juicy: 230 million tons. If confirmed, Japan would overcome China and be placed as the largest reserve of rare earths in the world. Independence. Japan’s efforts to find rare earth date back to 2022 and had a clear goal: to be independent. Currently, Japan depends on imports to meet their needs of rare metals, with 60% of them from China. The Japanese government invested 6,000 million yen (about 42 million euros) in the first extractions and have made it a priority since then. Friction. As we said, China currently has the largest reserve of rare earth and that gives it A huge power. Just a few weeks ago something unusual happened: A combat fleet, headed by two Chinese aircraft carriershe entered the Japanese ZEE near the island of Minamitori. Japan He did not confirm If he presented a formal protest and just declared that he had sent “the appropriate message.” It is not the first time that China enters the Japanese area, nor are the friction between the two countries, But it is certainly a somewhat controversial maneuver given the economic importance of the area.

Google’s compact has very good arguments, although not everything shines the same

by

What if they told you that the cheapest mobile of Google of current generation has the same chip as its high range and that you will receive updates until 2032? On paper sounds very good, but another thing is to live with him for weeks. In a new one 24/7 of the Xataka YouTube channelwe have tested the Pixel 9a To verify how it yields, how it behaves in the day to day and if your camera remains the greatest claim. The first week makes it clear where the shots go. “The experience is being one of the most comfortable I’ve had with a phone in a long time,” says our partner. It is a manageable mobile, light and thought to be used with one hand. The 6.3 -inch OLED screen has 120 Hz and good brightness to exterior soda rate. But there is a design decision that attracts attention: “It seemed that we had overcome the great frames with Pixel 9, but they have returned in this middle range.” The 9A pixel repeats processor: mounts the same G4 tensioner than the most expensive models. So why sometimes seem to go slower? “I’ve found some Punctual thyrox or a certain slowness when unlocking the phone or opening some application. ”The device, in addition, arrives with 8 GB of RAM compared to the 12 GB of higher models. Is this combination a problem? Video tests can help us draw a conclusion. Where there are no surprises is in the operating system, which is Android 15. “It is the software that is closest to Android Stock that we can experience, ”he points out. Without aggressive layers or Bloatware, and with a promise that highlights:“ We have 7 years of updates, which would support us until 2032. ”Our partner reflects on whether the mobile will endure so much time. And then there is AI. Circle to Search, Gemini, Gemini Live… Functions that are already integrated into the system. But in practice, they have not had much prominence. “I have not had the need to use any of the Artificial Intelligence Tools”Will it be a matter of habit? Or real utility? In any case, will we know more in the video. In photography, Pixel 9a bets on balance. “He doesn’t want to be the best, but he wants to give us very good results,” he explains. The main sensor offers natural images, with a balanced dynamic range and pleasant blur even without using the portrait mode. That is how some loose points that can be decisive for some users also appear on the scene when choosing this phone or not. The battery improves previous generations. Now we have 5,100 mAh and that shows. “Most cycles will have achieved about 7 hours of active screen.” In practice, it is a mobile that It arrives at the end of the day with marginalthough without overcoming the best rivals in autonomy. Nor does it do so in fast charge: 23 W and something more than an hour to load it completely. Where then does this pixel 9a fit? Is it a recommended mobile? Everything will depend on the user’s needs, but to discover it you can help you in this video that Emos preparing in Xataka and which is already available on our YouTube channel. We invite you to take a look and leave your opinions in the comments. Images | Xataka In Xataka | I had no idea why my phone burned so much in summer.

The great promise of obtaining a stronger material than steel

by

Inventwood, a company that emerged at Maryland University, The Superwood Commercial Manufacture will begin After seven years of development. The material, invented by the scientist Liangbing Hu In 2018, it has 50% more tensile strength than steel and a ten-times higher resistance ratio. Why is it important. The construction industry generates high CO2 emissions: producing a ton of steel emits almost two tons of carbon dioxide. This supermadera not only eliminates these emissions, but carbon capture when manufactured with sustainable farm wood. In addition, it offers natural resistance to fire, humidity, termites and fungi without chemical additives. The context. What began as an academic discovery documented in Nature In 2018 It has evolved to become a technology that promises to be commercially viable. The company has managed to reduce the manufacturing time of weeks to hours and has raised $ 15 million to build its first plant in Maryland. In detail. The process requires two main steps: First, lignin is partially dissolved – the polymer that hardens wood – using food degree chemicals. Then, the wood is compressed at 65 ° C, collapsing its cellular structure in a dense matrix. The result is a material five times thinner than the original, but twelve times more resistant and ten times harder. The figures: The first installation will produce a million square meters per year from this summer. A second phase in autumn of 2025 will introduce outdoor panels. The initial price will be “Premium” but competitive with tropical high-end wood: between 12.50 and $ 25 per pound (between 27.5 and 55 per kilo), compared to the $ 1-2 of steel (2-4 per kilo). Yes, but. Although the supermadera is initially more expensive than steel by weight, its upper resistance-peso ratio means that a 5 kilos beam could match the load capacity of a 45 kilos steel beam. This reduces its effective cost to 2.75-5.5 dollars per kilo when we adjust for yield. Much more interesting and less far from steel. The panoramic. Inventwood A second installation already plans of more than 30 million square meters for infrastructure and large developments. Contractors can cut, pierce and hold this overmaster with standard carpentry tools, which should facilitate its adoption. The material could also be extended to other sectors such as vehicles, aircraft or furniture, but for now the company is focusing on construction, where steel and concrete suppose 90% of the carbon impact of buildings.
