Full-rate production will give confidence in the diverse network of more than 200 CH‑53K suppliers across 35 states, allowing bulk purchases and resulting efficiencies.
Archer brings its team of eVTOL, electric powertrain and certification experts while Stellantis will contribute advanced manufacturing technology and expertise, experienced personnel and capital to the partnership.
The maker reports that its aircraft is extremely stable, is capable of full hover at only 65% power, and has hovered with 20% of its fans purposely disabled in order to test system redundancy.
France, Germany and Spain have given the go-ahead for the Future Combat Air System's next phase of development in which Dassault Aviation, Airbus, Indra and Eumet build a demonstrator.
Chimera II is a hypersonic turbine-based combined cycle engine - a hybrid between a turbine engine and a ramjet. This allows for both low-speed and high-speed operation.
The Mayhem system will use a scramjet engine to generate thrust, propelling the vehicle across long distances at speeds greater than Mach 5.
Symphony will be a conventional medium-bypass turbofan engine, but with a Boom-designed axisymmetric supersonic intake, a variable-geometry low-noise exhaust nozzle, and a passively cooled high-pressure turbine.
On arrival at Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport it passed through a water gate and was officially commissioned into the fleet of CEA. It is expected to be put into commercial use in the spring of 2023.
H3 believes Australia will be the first to use commercial electric-powered drones that use hydrogen instead of batteries, in order to fly for many hours at a time and reach remote locations.
The programme will build on progress already made by BAE Systems, Leonardo UK, MBDA UK, Rolls-Royce and the UK Ministry of Defence as Team Tempest, as well as MHI's proposed future fighter aircraft (F-X).
Production of the 747, the world's first twin-aisle airplane, began in 1967 and spanned 54 years, during which a total of 1,574 aircraft were built.
The B-21 is capable of networking across the battlespace to multiple systems, and into all domains. It can quickly evolve through rapid technology upgrades that provide new capabilities to outpace future threats.
Since Embraer announced its Energia concepts last year it has been busy evaluating different architectures and propulsion systems. These efforts have resulted in the updates of its concepts for 19-30 seat designs.
The agreement will look for the best pathways to move from current cell chemistries (advanced lithium-ion) to all solid-state designs which could double the energy density of batteries in the 2030 timeframe.
The hybrid-electric aircraft preserves the range/payload capability of the Grand Caravan, and in fact can fly farther than the Grand Caravan with eight passengers. Maximum range is beyond 1,000 miles.
With mode transition successfully demonstrated, the Hermeus team is now racing to manufacture the first Quarterhorse aircraft that will begin flight testing in late 2023.
Deutsche Aircraft took advantage of the Aircraft Supplier Summit in Leipzig to celebrate the appointment of suppliers for galleys, partitions, floor panels and flight test services.
The news is coming thick and fast at Archer, with an agreement to locate its factory in Georgia and to equip its Midnight eVTOL with Garmin's G3000 integrated flight deck.
