To build the X-66A, Boeing will work with NASA to modify an MD-90 aircraft, shortening the fuselage and replacing its wings and engines.The design is known as a Transonic Truss-Braced Wing.
Evolito's motor is a compact solution that has allowed CAeS to integrate and package the technology efficiently as part of the 240kW Fresson fuel-cell propulsion system within the Islander engine nacelle.
The Mayhem system will use a scramjet engine to generate thrust, propelling the vehicle across long distances at speeds greater than Mach 5.
Random vibration acceptance testing for all the cruise motor controllers for the X-57 have taken place to make sure that all the systems stay functional while they endure the vibration environment expected during flight.
The processor technology is part of a digital, open-systems design that decreases maintenance and lifecycle costs while increasing reliability. The processors include extra payload slots to expand mission capabilities.
The XA100 is a flight-weight engine that would provide the F-35 with 30% more range, greater than 20% faster acceleration, and significant mission systems growth for Block 4 upgrades, and beyond.
Technologies tested in the Filton wind tunnel - many inspired by biomimicry which takes inspiration from nature to improve wing aerodynamics - will include gust sensors, pop-up spoilers and multifunctional trailing edges.
