The XA100 engine is estimated to provide pilots up to 25 per cent greater fuel efficiency and 30 percent greater range to help the U.S. ensure its airpower advantage in contested environments.
The project will focus on the needs for future hydrogen-fuelled aircraft, aiming to reduce the weight and volume of the powertrain system through a simplified balance of plant and cooling subsystems.
Garmin will supply the avionics for the aircraft while Liebherr-Aerospace will supply the flight controls actuators. Intergalactic will provide the thermal management system.
The G400, G500 and G600 have commonalities that increase manufacturing efficiencies. These mean that Gulfstream has the flexibility to easily expand production lines to meet the growing demand.
GKN Aerospace has secured life-of-programme contracts under the new agreement. It will now deliver 100% of GEnx, CF6 and GE90 fan cases, as well as 50% of GE9X fan case assembly for the duration of the programme.
Six planned test flights had objectives that include evaluating mission ability; autonomous electronic support to crewed platforms; potential to augment combat air patrols; and other manned-unmanned teaming goals.
Rotor is stepping up in size and commercialising its autonomy technology with the development of the R550X, an uncrewed utility helicopter based on the Robinson R44 Raven II.
Kite's KM-120 Electric Propulsion System is small enough to fit in a suitcase but more powerful than small cars. It includes an 800V inverter and an air-cooled gearless electric motor with variable pitch propeller support.
Hanwha will now be responsible for all actuation systems of the VX4. The development of actuation systems includes the design and mass production of the propeller tilt and pitch change mechanisms.
Midnight's flight envelope should progress from hover to full wing-borne transition flight in the coming months, ahead of “for credit” testing of its Midnight aircraft with the FAA next year, and entry into service in 2025.
The eJet Motor is said to be the world's first rim-driven jet propulsion motor, with the means of matching existing jet engine thrust but without the emissions. A ground test has been successful.
Structural buckling is generally avoided, but the Nabucco project no longer sees structural instability as a problem, but rather as a design opportunity to be explored for its revolutionary potential.
