(CNN) - wingless fuselages, cockpits and wings worn unemployed are scattered around the large hangar at Tarmac AEROSAVE, where old planes meet their end.But amid this scene of industrial destruction stands the triumph of reincarnation for recycling, says Sebastien Medan, head of dismantling the French company."We got a plane old ... and this work is complete when all the material of the ship can be reused," says Medan.AEROSAVE Tarmac has been dismantling disused aircraft based in Aerospace Valley-a site of French engineering firms flight near Tarbes, in the south of the country since its creation in 2009. Although the company's core business is the storage of aircraft, 12 aircraft and has broken completely.The pieces salvaged during this process are reused. The landing gear and flaps are modified to be resettled in new aircraft while flying booths are used for flight simulators. All parties are kept may be sold by airplane manufacturers. What remains, however, is shredded and sold by Tarmac."The percentage of a plane that can be recycled is about 87% and actually hope to increase that to 90%," says Medan.Airbus parent company Tarmac, predicts that more than 9,000 aircraft will be decommissioned over the next 20 years, so there is a clear need for old aircraft are processed in an environmentally friendly manner.By stripping their most valuable models, Tarmac also believes that recycling of aircraft can be transformed into a lucrative business and a process to do that airlines seeking to implement to remove their old models.The cost of saving a disused aircraft can be up to $ 25,000 per month. Thwart a plane and extract cost-reusable objects in a lump sum, between 125,000 and $ 185,000."All the stuff we get from the aircraft can be used in another industry, especially in aeronautics," said Medan.Although savings and process efficiency are evident, Tarmac also believes that dismantling old planes allowed engineers to design more efficient aircraft in the future. By understanding which parts are eroded, decay or become damaged over time, can transfer that knowledge to new designs."We are collecting the components of the aircraft to evaluate the features and capacity in terms of fatigue and pressure," says Olivier Malavallon, director of business development and change in Airbus."It is critical in terms of feedback to better design and designers to provide them guidance on how to optimize the assembly."At this time, the Tarmac base in southern France can accommodate up to 20 aircraft at the time, the company says. On the border with Spain is preparing a new site from one of the subsidiaries of the company. Will accommodate up to 200 aircraft at a time, and there may phase between 30 and 40 models each year.According Malavallon, this expansion will allow Tarmac prepare for the upcoming arrival of a large number of aircraft that will be removed. Also ensure that the aircraft will be disposed of in a manner that is efficient and takes advantage of valuable materials.Instead of going "from cradle to grave", says Malavallon, the aircraft will "of the
Entrepreneurs with open skies
This is the team of the company Nediar
If financial statements Nediar could quantify the passion for what you do, surely that would be the greatest asset of the creators of this company from ground services to the aviation industry to take off from the Venture Park (Park E) .
At a small table in the back of this space that became the last 5 years in business incubator highly innovative, are its two creators to end a meeting.
José David Ospina Restrepo (General manager, age 30, scholar) and Oscar David Henao Merchan (Project Director, 29, teacher and learner), cross thoughts and review of technical words loaded jobs, names of rare device, called by initial systems . And they do it with a taste reminiscent of childhood best friends playing together to recreate a world where nothing is impossible.
Both graduated from the Universidad Pontificia Bolivariana are proof of that in the past year and a half, since they decided to start their own business to put grounding products and services that loomed behind time needed for a growing sector in Colombia and Latin America.
"The airlines pay much abroad by train their flight crews, import equipment and parts that are expensive when you can develop here with innovation, quality and value," says Joseph.
Raising FlightThat vision of the business was awarded last year's contest and E Park in November went to have their homes by location, to occupy an office in this initiative at the University of Antioquia and the Municipality of Medellin, located in the neighborhood Sevilla.
"The first great victory of Nediar was being selected to be in Park E, because we have given much support to organize our administrative management, financial, sharpen the business vision and are an endorsement of credibility with customers," said Oscar David , also a teacher and tries to show his students with passion you can achieve everything.
Today's team is composed Nediar and four engineers and an aircraft maintenance technologist working in security-related solutions, reliability and training for commercial and military aviation.
That means we are able to do what any mortal would assume that is unique to large companies in developed countries: think from the assembly of a flight simulator which reproduces ground situations and in normal operation of an aircraft emergency, through technological solutions that make more efficient aircraft maintenance, to make tools to facilitate the air operation.
And all that saw it possible Joseph and David when they met their graduate study in aeronautical engineering, accounting work experience of each sector, sharing a passion for flying wild and daring to take together the step of moving from employees to employers .
The first flightsThe first major challenge came when Indaer Nediar, a local repair station, hired in June 2011 to automate the electronic systems of a simulator for flight attendants in Antioquia Aviation Academy.
That project was completed in February and was the letter to open doors with domestic airlines and even international. In fact, traveled to a neighboring country where one of the largest airlines in the region were charged with the development of several innovative solutions, from which other projects may be offered.
"We are excited because the results of our work is beginning to look abroad and are the platform for future business with only one and half years leading the company," enthuses Joseph.
At the same time, working for a partnership between the Genesis Incubator and the base of the Air Force in Rionegro, to provide engineering support to various metalworking companies in eastern Antioquia in the substitution of imports of parts and appliances.
Innovate together'We are convinced that innovation is not a solo work in our environment can only innovate together, we believe in partnership and we have seen the results, "added Oscar.
But the challenges are many for this young technology-based company that has begun to cultivate a pulse credibility made to work and highly innovative businesses that do not materialize in the overnight.
Nediar entrepreneurs are aware that achieving this trip cruise requires daily learning to overcome the technical idea and plays the routes needed for marketing, what they have learned much from the hands of business managers Park E.
"We continue to grow, more customers, develop more products, more jobs and we are clear that we must leave the park so that other companies have the opportunity to incubate here," concludes Joseph with the conviction that their desire to undertake and has the open skies.
