Operational ramp-up of Vertical’s battery manufacturing machinery has begun by assembling the first in-house developed prototype battery modules in the facility.
The proven track record of Rolls-Royce and pedigree of the RR300 made the selection easy; the engine has nearly two decades of operation in civilian aerospace and has exceeded over 1.6 million flight hours.
Airborne has a capability set that covers the product development cycle for composite structures from initial feasibility through to serial automated production and the supply of digital manufacturing equipment.
The milestone comes a few days after Doroni announced the successful completion of tethered flight tests with the H1 prototype; and yaw, pitch and roll testing several days prior to that.
A clear timetable for the end of F/A-18 production allows Boeing to redirect resources to future military aircraft programs, including support work on the next generation of advanced crewed and uncrewed aircraft.
Collins has extensive experience in developing and certifying inceptors for commercial jets, and will certify the Lilium Jet's pair of inceptors to commercial aviation standards.
Reducing its carbon footprint along with the improvement of customer satisfaction: this is the dual challenge set out in Daher's Take Off 2027 strategic plan for the next five years. Biofuel will play a part.
