Phoenix 2 has now achieved this milestone across the entire main wing while, most importantly, remaining stable and behaving as predicted by Lilium's proprietary Flight Dynamics Model.
The Liberty Lifter will operate in turbulent seas by creating high-lift abilities at low speeds to reduce wave impact load during takeoff/landing, and innovative design solutions to absorb wave forces.
These are engineering inventions for the core technology around the Lilium Jet, spanning several domains: Structures and interior, avionics and custom electric, and more than 70% related to energy and propulsion.
Boeing will maintain a significant presence at its Chicago location and surrounding region, but has signalled a new emphasis on operations in Virginia. A new research centre will focus on digital innovation.
The eKub is a British designed and built all-electric microlight aeroplane and has been developed by a consortium of Cranfield University, TLAC, Flylight Airsports and CDO².
The Cranfield Air and Space Propulsion Institute will champion research with close industry, academia and government collaboration. It aims to develop technologies in propulsion and power system applications.
And then there were three. ATI Aerospace Technology Institute has expanded its FlyZero concept to encompass a range of regional, narrowbody and midsize designs - all to be powered by hydrogen.
GKN Aerospace's Global Technology Centre will focus on sustainable aviation research and development. At full capacity the collaboration centre will host 300 engineers.
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.
The positive effect of “wake-filling” on propulsive power has long been known in marine applications. Ship propellers are typically located aft and operated within the boundary layer flow close to the ship’s surface.
Unmanned aerial vehicles, regional airliners and light multipurpose helicopters could all be powered by a new hybrid power unit now under development by UEC-Klimov. The company has a target date of 2028.
The FLEXCRAFT project evaluated the development of new production processes, eco-efficient technologies, and the integration of new materials, among other research fronts.
