Tech Mahindra will support ASKA in the areas of design, analysis, development of composites and advanced materials, crash dynamics (automotive and aerospace), battery and structural testing.
The Element team at Warwick will help Rolls-Royce conduct a comprehensive evaluation of its next generation disc alloy in shorter timescales, more conveniently than possible with its existing Berlin facility.
While in Texas, ground testing of the X-59 will ensure the aircraft can withstand the loads and stresses that typically occur during flight. The team will also calibrate and test the fuel systems.
Removed from its jig, the X-59 is ready for final assembly including the first power-on of the aircraft to test its internal systems. The first flight is planned for 2022.
Spirit AeroSystems and EireComposites' contract will enable the creation of 40 jobs over the next three years, while also securing 60 existing positions.
One NASA goal is to establish the X-57 as a reference platform for integrated approaches of distributed electric propulsion technologies. Next up, the X-57 will undergo verification and validation testing.
Collins is designing and testing the motor at its Electronic Controls and Motor Systems Center of Excellence in Solihull, where it invested $18 million to expand and add power electronics and motor development capabilities.
The first role for the new facility will be to carry out wind tunnel tests on the TF-X Turkish Fighter, but is intended to be used in the development of a variety of indigenous, rotary-wing and fixed-wing aircraft.
The facility includes labs, collaborative office space, and reconfigurable testing areas - a combination of test assets reckoned to be unique in Europe. It will be central to the Airbus Wing of Tomorrow programme.
Distributed Propulsion Systems consist of breaking down thrust generation into many small engines spread out along the span of the wing. Wind tunnel work will now reveal its final energy performance.
