Fan-in-wing technology combines an embedded lift fan with a blended wing body design to enable vertical lift agility without sacrificing the payload capacity and aerodynamic efficiency.
Salina Regional Airport has established itself as a key site for UAS testing, having hosted Beyond-Visual-Line-of-Sight operations under the FAA's Integration Pilot Program and Beyond programs.
The company will build on Phase I propulsion test success to prepare a number of full-scale aircraft for flight tests in Q3 and Q4 of 2025.
The control system for fighter jets will allow pilots to interact with aircraft systems using physical gestures like hand movements without the need for traditional controls like buttons or switches.
The flights are part of the vehicle envelope expansion program, intended to identify vehicle dynamics in the transonic regime as Dawn Aerospace works towards breaking the sound barrier.
The line will incorporate cutting-edge technologies and processes, ensuring a 100% digital and paperless production environment. Automated and driverless transport systems will streamline operations.
MSN 1 will be Lilium’s lab test aircraft, or “ironbird”. It will be a fully functional aircraft and key asset for the certification program, being used to prove safety of flight and compliance with airworthiness requirements.
Toyota engineers now work side-by-side with the Joby team in California, and, in 2023, the two companies signed a long-term agreement for Toyota to supply key powertrain and actuation components.
Radian's engineering team focused on tuning the flight control systems and assessing the alignment of the real-world data to analytical predictions. The prototype was fitted with various telemetry systems.
Northrop Grumman's CTF team has demonstrated it can execute multiple flight test events within the span of a week. The company's digital ecosystem is enabling test data analysis, updates and rapid return to flight test.
Most aircraft designs locate the nacelle under the wing, but Heart’s are centred on the wing and designed for a vortex generation at a high angle of attack, reducing deterioration in wing performance.
Textron Aviation's new SMS program includes a voluntary reporting tool that allows employees, customers or suppliers to anonymously report aircraft quality risks or hazards directly to the company's SMS Committee.
Two one-minute tests demonstrated the ability of its triplex fly-by-wire flight control system to sustain a stable hover in multiple configurations and a dynamic ground environment.
The HEAT facility will provide continuous high flow rate, high enthalpy and low-pressure conditions required for high-supersonic and low-hypersonic flight modelling.
