Crystal Harris’s Job:
Ever wonder who is testing the  design and development of a new aircraft? At Boeing, it is crystal and a team of engineers and technicians. As a flight test analysis engineer, she examines engine, noise levels, landing gear suspension and other systems to ensure aircraft safety and comfort.

Interesting Job Experiences: Testing of the aircraft enough adventure and of course, not an office job! As Crystal says, her team evaluates an aircraft of the fire alarm system(smoke detection system), "inflammation of contained fire and filling the test compartment with smoke, and then wait for the amount of time required for detection to occur."

She and the team as "heat soak" the plane to make sure the electrical system can withstand high temperatures. Another test they perform is racing airplanes at high speeds on runways and check the tires and brakes.

Testing a record-breaking plane:
The first plane Crystal ever tested broke the world record for the longest non-stop flight by a passenger airliner.  The Boeing 777 flew non-stop for almost 23 hours, taking off in   Hong Kong and landing in London—more than half way around the world!

Where Crystal Harris works:
The Boeing Company; Seattle, Washington

Education
B.S. in aerospace science engineering, Tuskegee University, Macon County, Alabama.

A Tuskegee pilot
Tuskegee University is famous for being the home of the Tuskegee Airman, a group of African-American pilots who were World War II heroes. Crystal received her private pilot’s license while attending Tuskegee, and learned to fly in the same plane flown by the legendary C. Alfred “Chief” Anderson, one of the original flight instructors for the Tuskegee Airmen!

Why she loves her job
“I decided to become an engineer because of my love for airplanes. I figured, since I fly them, I’d better know how they work.” Having a job that ensures the comfort and safety of airline passengers means a lot to Crystal. “The most important and rewarding part of life is giving back to others.”

Hobbies
Flying, volunteering in the community, and shoe shopping with her sisters.

Russian Helicopters to Install 3G Engines on Updated Multirole Ka-62 - Turbomeca Ardiden

3G Engine

Russian Helicopters, JSC and French Turbomeca (Safran group), have signed contracts for the supply of at least 308 Turbomeca Ardiden 3G turbo shaft engines to be installed on the updated Ka-62 helicopter. This announcement follows the ‘protocol of intentions’ contract signed on 21 February 2010, outlining the development and delivery of the Safran engines for the Russian-built Ka-62 helicopter.

The state-of-the-art Ardiden 3 line engines are designed for 6 to 8 tonnes helicopters which perform a variety of functions and can fully respond to market requirements in this growing niche. The modular design and dual channel FADEC, make the Ardiden 3 highly reliable and easy to use, with the benefit of an exceptionally low fuel consumption. The Ka-62 are to be fitted with a specific variant of the Ardiden 3 family, the Ardiden 3G engine.

Currently Russian Helicopters is expanding its range of light and medium multifunctional twin-engine helicopters intended for multiple missions such as transport, EMS, aerial work and surveillance.

The Ka-62 helicopter is a new single-rotor design in the medium class designed to international flight safety requirements. It is built with an enclosed tail rotor and an airframe and propeller blades consisting of over 50% polymeric composite materials.

It is designed to transport 12 to 14 passengers in the cabin or a 2.5 tonnes load on the external sling, and is equipped with efficient anti-icing and fire-fighting systems in standard configuration. The Ka-62 is expected to be certified in 2014 and will be used by the oil & gas industry, for search and rescue missions and corporate transportation.

This is not the first joint project between Russian Helicopters and Turbomeca: in 2009 they contracted the development and serial engine production of the Arrius 2G1 to be installed on Ka-226T, the new Russian light twin-engine helicopter with coaxial rotor.
