Current computational methods can predict some limited blown lift flow fields in three dimensions, but NASA's involvement will enable the fast, trusted, low-order methods needed to rapidly evaluate design choices.
Rolls-Royce has already tested the AE2100 engine element, specialist controls and thermal management system at Testbed 108. Now the PGS1 hybrid-electric system will come under scrutiny there.
Onyx FR-A and Carbon Fiber FR-A materials are designed to meet flame, smoke and toxicity requirements for many parts in aircraft interiors, come with traceability, and adhere to specifications approved by NCAMP.
The primary and secondary power distribution system on Dassault's Falcon 10X is a next generation design providing significant weight savings over conventional architecture with equipment reduction.
Saab's airframe section will complete the test aircraft for the EMD's flight test program. Including hydraulics, fuel and secondary power, it forms the centre structure from behind the cockpit to the end of the aircraft.
The advantages of a hybrid power plant include increased fuel efficiency and flight safety, reduced emissions, increased thrust-to-weight ratio, as well as increased service life and reliability.
The upgraded Ka-226T helicopter will be optimised for high altitude operations, with flight tests starting in the autumn. It will have a new airframe design with significantly improved aerodynamics.
Subject to finance, Surf Air Mobility will buy up to 150 Cessna Grand Caravans and convert them to hybrid electric power. Textron will market the concept for new deliveries and after-market conversions.
The UH-1Y shares 85 percent commonality of parts with the AH-1Z. The commonality between the aircraft enabled critical component supply chains to remain active during AH-1Z production for the USMC.
The aircraft's Safe Return emergency autoland system has received type certificate approval from EASA. Safe Return Emergency Autoland allows passengers to autonomously land with the touch of a button.
The G550 entered service in 2003 as the launch platform for the Gulfstream PlaneView flight deck. It also broke new ground when it was certified with Enhanced Vision System as a standard feature.
The benefits of lower fuel burn, a carbon-fibre fuselage and wings and a quiet cabin have taken A350 orders well over 900, and fleet customers based in China will now have their aircraft completed in Tianjin.
