Drive System Design is an engineering consultancy specialising in the engineering, development, test and control of electrified driveline systems. It has joined the team developing the InCEPTion propulsion module.
A wheel made of carbon fibre reinforced plastic will offer enhanced mechanical properties at about half the density of metal wheels. It will be made with tailored fibre placement, braiding and out of autoclave processes.
Wisk Aero and Alaka'i Technologies will join others to prepare for NASA’s Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) National Campaign NC-1 beginning in 2022, where NASA will begin to assess vehicle readiness.
The X-57 will be powered by twelve electric high-lift motors with propeller blades that fold away during cruise, emerging again for the landing phase. Wind tunnel testing has begun.
Ten buildings including a 47,000 sq ft aircraft hangar and over 76,800 sq ft of offices and direct airport ramp, taxiway and runway access in Niagara will be the perfect launch pad for a new range of aircraft.
Freely flapping wing-tips can be capable of reacting and flexing to wind gusts in a way that improves aircraft performance, and the AlbatrossONE has now flown with longer wing-tips than ever.
Lighter components for a new generation Il-112V light military transport have been tested in a trans-sonic wind tunnel at TsAGI. Engine nacelles and landing gear fairings proved comparable to earlier heavier versions.
It may be based on the design of the Gripen's engine, but the F414-GE-39E is a whole brand-new engine birthed from raw metal. It will have longer duration missions at high altitude with high power.
Design processes that typically take months have been completed in days using BAE Systems' digital twin concept, as the next generation Tempest aircraft takes shape.
