GE Aviation and Safran's partnership in CFM is to continue to 2050, enabling ongoing work on developments to reduce emissions and fuel consumption. The Rise program promises disruptive technologies.
The design and integration of tank structures is crucial to the performance of a future hydrogen aircraft, so Airbus has established two Zero-Emission Development Centres dedicated to this vital task.
Avionics and flight control computers from Honeywell will be a key element for the Lilium Jet's electronic architecture, choreographing 36 surfaces while providing simple controls for a single pilot.
A brand new plant at Mirabel, which was built in just 10 months, has delivered its first major assembly to the Airbus A220 assembly line. Around 100 people already work at the site.
Spirit will leverage its composite and fabrication capabilities at its Wichita facility to support the program, then provide competitive aerostructures with kits that Rolls-Royce can seamlessly install during final assembly.
Every civil Airbus aircraft model flies with Liebherr technology on board, but now this equipment list will include stand-alone power electronics alongside the current broad systems and components portfolio.
The electric motor-driven propellers will blow air over the entire span of the wing and its flaps, allowing takeoff and landing at speeds below 30mph, while cruising at high-speeds of 200mph.
The ability to additively manufacture an aircraft engine part and gain military airworthiness is a significant step forward in growing the adoption of additive manufacturing, says the USAF.
Distributed Propulsion Systems consist of breaking down thrust generation into many small engines spread out along the span of the wing. Wind tunnel work will now reveal its final energy performance.
The facility includes labs, collaborative office space, and reconfigurable testing areas - a combination of test assets reckoned to be unique in Europe. It will be central to the Airbus Wing of Tomorrow programme.
