Evolution in Fuel-Efficient and Light Weight Aircrafts to Boost Honeycomb Core Industry: Ken Research

Aerospace industry is the most advanced industry and possesses reliable materials that are necessary to ensure optimal safety, longevity, and strength in any aerospace applications. Almost all the aerospace materials should be lightweight to allow for optimal aerodynamics, should possess great strength to ensure the safety of pilots and passengers, to withstand the physical forces of flying, and heat resistant to ensure structural changes which are kept to a minimum during the sudden and extreme temperature fluctuations that occur at high-speed and high-altitude flight. Honeycomb is the most reliable material used in aerospace applications, particularly, aluminium honeycomb, which meets the desired aircraft requirements.
 
Honeycomb materials resemble the structure of beehives which are an excellent solution for various aerospace applications. Production of honeycomb requires multiple steps such as expansion, corrugation, and moulding. Very less metal is needed to produce honeycomb and is an expensive process. Honeycomb is sandwiched between two thin panels of material and effectively combines the light-weight and high-strength qualities which are essential for an aerospace industry. The sandwiched structure is a smooth and flat surface of the panels that allows for easy installation. With the proper honeycomb design, the structures are designed and manufactured with any number of cell shapes, sizes, and configurations for added flexibility and high strength. Aluminium honeycomb has great stiffness which is among the highest of any composite core material available. Its resistance to compression is high, resistance to heat, flexible to temperature fluctuation, recyclable, non-moisture absorbent, resistant to mould or fungal growth and shear, which are key qualities needed in aerospace applications. More than 90% of all aluminium material processed annually is obtained from recycled products, making it a very environmentally friendly option.

According to the study “North America Commercial Aircraft Honeycomb Core Industry Situation and Prospects Research Report”, aluminum honeycomb core is used in various commercial aerospace applications such as critical substructures in rockets, aircraft, jet engines, and propellers. It is used in non-aerospace structures, such as wind turbine blades. Also, aluminium honeycomb is used in sensitive applications such as aircraft heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems. The honeycomb core structure is very and does not buckle easily when bent due to it is lightweight property. Airplanes such as Boeing 787 Dreamliner use honeycomb core structure in its wings, tail fins, and parts of the fuselage. There is an increasing demand for lighter aircraft such as the Boeing 787 and Airbus A350 which drive the growth in commercial aircraft honeycomb core market. There are multiple numbers of vendors in aircraft honeycomb core materials and are highly competitive. The leading vendors in commercial aircraft honeycomb core industry are DuPont, EURO-COMPOSITES, Hexcel, Plascore, Rockwell Collins, Argosy International, Indy Honeycomb, TRB Lightweight Structures and Tubus Bauer.

Water Efficient Maize For Africa (Wema) Market Outlook-Ken Research


One of the most amazing applications of agricultural technology is drought tolerant crops. As climate change persists water efficient seeds can help farmers produce food while using less water. Africa is a drought prone region making farming risky for millions of farmers who mainly rely on rainfall for water. Market research reports for seed reveal that maize is the most widely grown staple crop in Africa with more than 300 million people depending on it for food and it gets severely affected by drought. Thanks to plant breeding technology Africa’s main food source can now be produced with drought tolerant traits protecting the crop during unpredictable environment stress.

Recent research has led to the development of new agriculture and seed technology as suggested by seed industry research reports. The WEMA project is a unique public private partnership led by Kenya based African Agricultural Technology Foundation (AATF) and funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Howard G. Buffett Foundation and USAID. WEMA uses breeding techniques and biotechnology to develop drought tolerant seeds.  Mozambique harvested its first genetically modified maize in August 2017 which led to further experimentation.  The work is being done by the Institute of Agrarian Research (IIAM) which is one of the founders of the WEMA project and includes participation of sub-Saharan countries such as Tanzania, South Africa and Uganda through their respective agrarian research institutes. Genetically modified seeds from the US are also being tested under research projects of WEMA to develop drought tolerance in seed industry.

India is also developing techniques to combat drought situations that are frequent in states such as Jharkhand, Orissa and Chhattisgarh. Experts say that future production will mainly be from the use of seeds that can perform under stressed conditions like drought. Sahbhagi Dhan is a drought tolerant variety of rice. As compared to conventional rice it produces nearly double the yield (in drought conditions), requires half as much water and matures much faster. DuPont Pioneer has developed around 5 hybrid seeds keeping in mind the depleting water table and uncertainty of monsoon in India. The innovative science driven solutions have enabled certain hybrids like Pioneer Millet Hybrid 86M66 and 86M88 to tolerate severe drought conditions, low or negligible rainfall and poor irrigation conditions. As a result of this there was a 45% increase in productivity of Pearl Millet and its production has increased by nearly 20%.

WEMA project has successfully completed several years of research and the result has been promising. Authorities have also shown their support. Tanzanian scientists have recently released their promising research on biotechnology. During meetings and discussions held for the WEMA project these researchers were supported by their government to carry on with the field trials of transgenic drought tolerant seeds. Recently the Tanzanian government amended the Environmental Management Regulations by removing strict liability to provide a better environment for conducting research. Uganda has also made significant contributions. The WEMA project has developed drought resistant maize hybrids which are sold under the brand name DroughtTego.
WEMA has led to further developments. The project coordinators have announced the next set of actions which will focus on ensuring that Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania among others initiative on commercialization of the improved maize by 2023. India is also contributing significantly in this respect.

Ontario Student Assistance Program (Osap) Market Outlook : Ken Research


Canada is one of the most educated nations in the world and has almost 100% literacy. Most educational services are easily affordable and with options such as OSAP, students in Canada are well looked after. According to a Canadian education industry research report Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP) is a financial aid program that helps students pay for college or university. OSAP offers two types of aids, the first in the form of a grant which is money that is not required to be repaid and second is a student loan which is to be repaid. Once an application has been approved, the applicant is considered for both grants and loans irrespective of his/her personal choice which is taken into account shortly thereafter.
The field of education is increasingly receiving more and more aids and OSAP proves this. Post secondary education means a financial strain for many Canadians and around 50% report having a student debt. This program caters to these desperate circumstances and is also undergoing several changes to help education become more affordable. Recent developments in this respect are-
·         The modernization of OSAP through significant consolidation of existing OSAP grants aimed to provide timely and transparent assistance.
·         In 2019, OSAP will collaborate with universities and colleges to introduce ‘net tuition billing’ which will help students calculate their net cost of education.
·         New OSAP rules will make tuition free for most students (including mature students and adult learners).
·         Adult learners with kids will receive child care grants ensuring that everyone who makes an effort to get educated is taken care of.
·         New OSAP policies consider the family size of the student applying for financial aid and it will extend its grants accordingly.
·         For the academic year 2018-19 OSAP has reduced the amount parents and spouses are required to contribute thus, further easing the financial burden.
The student aiding initiative taken up by the Ontario based OSAP is helping lower and middle income students to achieve educational excellence. Market research reports for education estimate that about 150,000 people in Ontario will be eligible to receive free tuition as a result of the improvements to OSAP the provincial government is making. Recently Ontario recorded surge in grants and loans to students which shows the enormous demand for educational financial aid. The OSAP changes made mean that more than 80% of all those who receive OSAP will graduate with less provincial debt.
Financial aid services are more important these days as the disparity between classes is a constant hindrance to the spread of education. Ontario is a great example of how financial aid can greatly benefit students in a community which will lead to a more educated society. Recent   changes in OSAP are expected to further Canada’s excellence in the education sector.
