The outcome will be a full-scale aircraft that will undergo extensive aerodynamic testing, derisking the remaining certification compliance tasks. Work is under way in Denver, Colorado.
The drone is expected to undergo a series of test flights in various conditions to validate its performance, safety, and reliability. These tests will be pivotal in preparing the Aero2 for commercial applications.
Most recently, the Archer flight test team has focused on five key testing areas: Transition flights, high-rate operations, advancing landing profiles, enhancing acoustic measurement and optimising control laws.
More than 30 years ago, Crane was selected to provide a similar Proximity Sensing System for the D328 turboprop. Now the latest model will feature on the D328eco, offering Deutsche Aircraft a low-risk solution.
In addition to flight testing, the ASKA A5 prototype has completed 500 miles of road testing, as well as completing "Drive to Flight" transition testing while on the ground.
Green hydrogen will drive the membrane-based fuel cell powerplants in Robinson R66 organ delivery electric helicopters.
The first Sprayhawk production aircraft has been completed and is undergoing ground testing ahead of delivery to an agricultural partner in the US Midwest later this year.
The G400 departed Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport at 9:04 a.m. and returned 2 hours, 54 minutes later, having reached a speed of Mach 0.85 and altitude of 41,000 feet/12,497 metres.
Stellantis will fund up to $370m of the anticipated manufacturing labour costs necessary to support Archer’s planned manufacturing ramp to 650 aircraft annually.
Once complete, this facility will be nearly 400,000 sq.ft and will support planned production of up to 650 aircraft annually, which would make it one of the largest factories by volume in the aviation industry.
Leonardo produces the baseline helicopter at its plant in northeast Philadelphia, while Boeing is responsible for military equipment procurement and installation and post-delivery support of the aircraft.
The aircraft will fly twice as far and twice as fast as the current fleet. By utilising mature tiltrotor technology coupled with an innovative digital engineering approach it will be reliable, affordable and high-performing.
The VX4 previously undertook extensive ground testing, including powered propulsion testing of its advanced powertrain, which features proprietary battery packs capable of delivering 1.4 MW of peak power.
The study will focus on high performance rotorcraft. The concepts will be modular and multi-mission, and fully interoperable with NATO standards, with a high degree of connectivity and resilient communication system.
Deutsche has also granted Triumph Group's Thermal Systems Division, located in Forest, Ohio, a long-term-program contract to design, manufacture and support the precooler system for the D328eco.
Honeywell’s compact fly-by-wire (cFBW) flight control computers are augmented by electronics, rather than manual controls. The computer for the aircraft’s flight controls is about the size of a paperback book.
Maeve anticipated future demand for aircraft in the 70-90 seat range, as well as better environmental performance. It will access this market with a clean sheet design that sets new standards in sustainability.
WindRunner is an aircraft designed for its primary mission: To fly turbine blades up to 105m in length directly to wind farm sites, landing on semi-prepared dirt runways as short as 1,800 metres.
