The companies will integrate a high-speed turbo-rocket onto a flight-proven airframe, advancing supersonic and hypersonic drone capabilities for military applications.
Building upon the previous folding rotor testing, the wind tunnel program validated the stability and control of the aircraft through the rotor fold and unfold sequence in flight.
The Göttingen-based institute previously conducted a vibration test on a predecessor model of the VoloCity in 2021. The findings from that test have informed the development of this improved successor model.
Once construction on the new two-storey, 36,600 square-foot facility is complete, SwRI will begin evaluating new materials and processes designed to produce a high-speed engine in less time than current production.
In acquiring Calspan Aero Systems Engineering and Calspan Systems, Cerberus has established North Wind, an independent business centrally focused on the advancement of hypersonic test capabilities.
During the HEROPS project's three-year period, the partners, led by MTU, plan to build a ground demonstrator with 1.2 megawatts of power. Regional aircraft could be using the system by 2035.
The new facility will enable Thompson's designs to be optimised, reducing weight and therefore the carbon footprint of the seats in flight. The nearest alternative test centres are overseas.
The objective of this powered-model test was to validate the overall aerodynamic integration of a next-generation electric propulsion system that is being developed with our project partners.
The four-story space pays homage to the aviation industry: Light fixtures throughout resemble clouds to create an ethereal ambiance, while flight paths guide employees throughout the space.
The combustion behaviour of hydrogen is significantly different from that of conventional aviation fuels such as kerosene, and the infrastructure at DLR enables experiments in a realistic environment.
