Airbus has seen customer demand for additional mission capabilities such as manned-unmanned teaming, so Aerovel's expertise in autonomous flight technology will be an important step forward in its UAS development.
Testing will simulate three lifetimes of operations: Two of these replicate the operation of an aircraft under normal conditions, and the third lifetime has intentional damage inflicted on the airframe's critical components
Active flow control could replace traditional flaps and rudders, which are used to manoeuvre most aircraft today. AFC may also deliver benefits in areas such as aerodynamics, weight and mechanical complexity.
Hermeus' first flight vehicle, Quarterhorse Mk 1, is actively being built and scheduled to fly in 2024. Leveraging rapid and iterative design is how Hermeus will accelerate development on timelines relevant to its customers.
Supernal has returned to the biggest consumer electronics show to unveil its latest pilot-plus-four concept, which will fly low altitude for up to 40 mile trips. The Hyundai business has drawn on automotive design.
The company aims to develop advanced robotic technology that employs ambulatory and floor mounted robots working in concert as a "swarm" to co-construct the exoskeleton of its airships.
Located in the former A380 "Jean-Luc Lagardère" building, the assembly line will help meet demand for the A321neo, which now accounts for nearly 65% of Airbus' A320 Family order backlog.
Initial tests, scheduled to begin in early 2024, will focus on validating Butterfly's propulsion systems, flight control mechanics, safety features, and operational efficiency.
ICON Aircraft has now become one of only a few Light Sport Aircraft manufacturers in the world to meet the certification standards of the FAA - a great boost for its worldwide aspirations.
In addition to 1,000 new production aircraft, the company has delivered hundreds of backcountry aircraft kits and innumerable major rebuilds and upgrades to the classic Piper Super Cub during its 43-year history.
Overair's unique trajectory-based control scheme in conjunction with a fault tolerant, multi-channel digital comms network could help future military rotorcraft become more damage-resistant and reliable in combat.
The company says it will now be able to expand payload capabilities and augment propulsion systems to deliver even greater utility and versatility to the Air Force Research Laboratory and beyond.
The joint GCAP government HQ will be hosted in the UK and the first CEO will come from Japan. In addition, the future business construct will also be headquartered in the UK and the first leader will be from Italy.
The M80 is a clean sheet design with a newly integrated hybrid propulsion system resulting in reduction of mission energy and fuel consumption. This makes it the perfect replacement for regional jets and turboprops.
Market feedback has been positive as illustrated by the conditional pre-orders for more than 700 TriFan 600s, which would equate to potential gross revenues of more than $7 billion upon delivery.
Honeywell's MicroVCS high-speed, oil-free centrifugal compressor technology allows the system to be 22% lighter than conventional screw or scroll compressor-based vapour cycle cooling systems.
While the company had conducted several successful ground tests fueling and igniting the system, it needed to evaluate how the system performs in the flight environment prior to release.
The new aircraft, which cost over US$6 million and took seven years to develop, is a next-generation, more powerful and fuel-efficient version of the established 750XL, the world's first commercial XSTOL aircraft.
The demonstrator aims to evaluate the operational advantages of integrating hybrid-electric distributed propulsion, with specific emphasis on CO2 emissions and noise level reduction.
The company will host a grand opening ceremony in the new year to showcase the facility and the its latest product offerings and manufacturing capabilities.
