Airbus A380 fleet should be grounded, say engineers

It's like the pimp telling his stable that prostitution is wrong, and then go about recruiting some more into his ring.

Oh, Sam you are an angel! A billion people are wrong about Singapore, and only Sam and his like-minded fiends are right.

the 1st mistake anyone can make here is taking the words of an internet pimp seriously.

Sadly though they have one Bumi to ever have been to space, he was only just a passenger. Monkeys and dogs also had also gone into space. There is nothing much to boast about the achievement.

.............The only RR engine repair facility in this region is in Singapore.

Thanks Windsor for this detailed explanation. Hey I supplied quite a bit of sealants to the RR building through my S'pore distributor.

Singapore is definitely ahead of Malaysia. Malaysia owns something on a satellite, developed by others and put an astronaut on board but more the role as a passenger. In terms of wayang, Singapore cannot compare with Malaysia. By the same token, Singapore have a few communication satellites (again built by others) orbiting in our own orbital positions (precious space real estates), something we chopped many years ago. Even Taiwan tried riding on us. Few years' back, some private company started a private space travel business and selected Singapore as the base but do not know what is the latest development as some of these sort of ventures are now becoming commercial reality. Much publicity too was NTU announcement of the development of an indigenuous mini-satellite but it seemed to be taking a long time. The most advanced nation in aeronautical in this region is, in fact, Indonesia which manufactures its own planes, used mainly for domestic flights, and hardly export any. By the same token, Singapore only does modification mainly in avionics and weaponry.

Those early days of the annual fires in Indonesia that brings smog into Singapore, I was surprised that Singapore was supplying satellite photos to help Indonesians pin point and fight fires. Thought it was quite cool of Singapore's capabilities.

You're welcome bro. There are a lot of misconceptions that any MRO Facility (Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul) can do wide-body aircraft type can also do all models and even major aircraft conversion. The capabilities of MAS is very limited in fact as most of the work they do is on their own aircraft and up to a certain stage, maybe "D" Checks. Conversion work is done by only a few MRO Facilities, SIA Engineering and SASCO in Singapore, HEACO and TEACO in China and some elsewhere in Europe, Israel and USA.

What kind of sealants are those you supplied?

 

[Froggy]

Sealants for buildings la. Silicone sealants that I buy from Japanese suppliers and then I repack them. However I've just recently started to manufacture a special Japanese sealant that has the good characteristics of silicone and polyurethane combine, so it is paintable, anti-fungus, high movement capability, high UV resistance, non-sovent base, low VOC etc etc This is also being use as a very strong adhesive for buildings and aslo automotive markets.

Hey you know about Thailand's aircraft capability? I live in Thailand as you know and I'm wondering I mean G also has pretty good safety records don't they?

Sealants from Shin-Etsu? They are a pretty good company and have a Singapore Distributor.

My one trip to Bangkok was to meet Thai Airways Purchasing Manager through my Singapore contacts but no further business ensued despite him coming to Singapore later for the Singapore Airshow. That was 15 years ago and since then I never step into Thailand. They were not into the type of repairs that other airlines were doing on the B747 at that time.

 

[sadshishamo]

hello joe, you could try to manufacture your sealants to aircraft specifications and maybe become one of the vendors to airlines. Have you thought of that?

Bro, this is next to impossible as it requires Airbus and Boeing approvals, and for engines will need the manufacturer's certification in order it can be used on their equipment. To get these approvals may take years and a lot of money invested.

 

[sadshishamo]

yes indeed it is difficult, but can it be made easier by having some contacts and recommendations? I think the specification requirements can be easily obtained but as you say, the investment would be daunting.

:p not from Shin-Etsu la but I have already started to manufacture the same type of high-end sealants exactly if not better like theirs. Got my small R&D to come up with a wide range of this type of high-end sealants and adhesives now, SEAsia is very lacking in the manufacturing and supply of this type of products.

Thanks sadshishamo. Aircraft spec is very difficult to attain and may consume a lot of time and resources as this is a very niche market with high profits. However as a businessman with a new product at this time I am more interested in the mass market first and then come to niche markets later. Construction first, auto next then others

 

[sadshishamo]

dear joe, you have a game plan which is well thought out. I hope you get the breaks.

That's right. I understand you are into hardware and these products are easier to penetrate if you want to penetrate into Thai Airways and other airlines. As long as they are not part of the aircraft it is ok.

Thanks bro, this is just an additional product complimenting my screws and other stuff la.

Windsor sorry because we were talking about the sealant used in RR facility in Singapore which is the high-end staff I actually mean I am manufacturing these. However I am also workign with Shin-Etsu on the simpler silicone range of products. In fact over here I am their largest customer and I work very closely up to their upper management. Ya they are a very good company with stable products and I am honored to be their top customer.

Only screws? Not fasteners or pneumatic tools? These are good products for airline sheetmetalwork. Another good product are drill bits.

Silicones are much in demand here and are also used for mould making.

No la Windsor, only into construction market now. Screws, manufacture fibreglass sheets for roof, fabricate light steel for roof structures etc.

Ok bro...was asking because you mentioned Thai Airways and thought you were interested to get in.

Actually its you Windsor, writing so much about airline repair services and got me interested to learn and compare between airlines and maintenance providers so I thought I asked about Thailand after all I almost like Khun Thai already here so I wonder how they are compared to Singapore and Malaysia.

Gotcha...

Actually Thai airline and military same as all 3rd world countries. Politics and corruption plus poor management due to external influences by those with connections to the elites. Unlike Singapore that went into high tech, high value aircraft support business, these 3rd world countries allow lower tech business and attract foreign investors manufacturing their products. They are the factories of the 1st world.

To get into Thai Airways Singapore-based companies need to have good contacts in the airline and the highest bidder(under table) and stronger connections usually get the business. Even with the best quality and cheapest product it is hard to get orders in such companies. I am sure you are familiar with this.

Ya very close to what you said.
