With the Falcon 10X, Dassault is taking a new approach to ground testing, which will be used to demonstrate the maturity of all systems well before the aircraft even takes to the air.
Building on the completion of the LAH, Airbus and KAI are preparing new joint development programmes. These will leverage Airbus' technical know-how in helicopter drive systems and flight control systems.
The KARGO UAV is optimised for expeditionary employment. Compact form-factor of the system fits in a standard CONEX shipping container and is designed to be unloaded and operated by as few as two people.
The ultimate goal is to perform large-scale demonstrations of UAM services with air vehicles, and the safe integration of different types of UAS operations in urban environments.
Following the successful completion of the preliminary P2012 STOL flight test campaign in early 2022, the aircraft has entered its final configuration moving on to the certification phase in 2023.
AIT will provide an end-to-end system for the factory, creating transportation and positioning tools for fuselage assembly, wing assembly, wing-to-fuselage joining, and final assembly.
The aircraft tested was an R&D aircraft owned by ShinMaywa, the XU-L, which was equipped with an existing 499cc engine manufactured by Yamaha Motor.
Alice lifted off from Grant County International Airport, flying for eight minutes at an altitude of 3,500 feet. This trailblazing flight of the technology demonstrator provided Eviation with invaluable data.
