Safran will supply the propulsion system’s ENGINeUS 100 electric motor, which delivers a maximum power of more than 150 kW at takeoff. This integrates its own control electronics as well as an air-cooling system.
Airbus has seen customer demand for additional mission capabilities such as manned-unmanned teaming, so Aerovel's expertise in autonomous flight technology will be an important step forward in its UAS development.
The SR Series G7 adds new avionics and autonomous interfaces coupled with all-new styling and comfort. Cirrus Aircraft says it is the culmination of seamless collaboration between customer, innovation and operations.
By combining a high-power electric motor for aircraft propulsion, an electric turbo compressor, a high-flux plastic magnet rotor and an electric hydrogen turbo-blower, IHI will electrify and optimise propulsion systems.
Years of research, development and production of this one-of-a-kind technology demonstrator aircraft should reduce the loudness of sonic booms to a gentle thump.
The result will be a 100kW fully certified electric propulsion system for H55’s customer project with BRM Aero, for use on a two-seater electric trainer, the Bristell B23 Energic.
GKN Aerospace's solution aims to contribute to reduce use of raw materials, and this is the first time it is being tested for this component size. The company sees potential for it to spread globally and also in other areas.
Testing will simulate three lifetimes of operations: Two of these replicate the operation of an aircraft under normal conditions, and the third lifetime has intentional damage inflicted on the airframe's critical components
Active flow control could replace traditional flaps and rudders, which are used to manoeuvre most aircraft today. AFC may also deliver benefits in areas such as aerodynamics, weight and mechanical complexity.
Supernal has returned to the biggest consumer electronics show to unveil its latest pilot-plus-four concept, which will fly low altitude for up to 40 mile trips. The Hyundai business has drawn on automotive design.
The company aims to develop advanced robotic technology that employs ambulatory and floor mounted robots working in concert as a "swarm" to co-construct the exoskeleton of its airships.
Hermeus' first flight vehicle, Quarterhorse Mk 1, is actively being built and scheduled to fly in 2024. Leveraging rapid and iterative design is how Hermeus will accelerate development on timelines relevant to its customers.
Located in the former A380 "Jean-Luc Lagardère" building, the assembly line will help meet demand for the A321neo, which now accounts for nearly 65% of Airbus' A320 Family order backlog.
ICON Aircraft has now become one of only a few Light Sport Aircraft manufacturers in the world to meet the certification standards of the FAA - a great boost for its worldwide aspirations.
The ultimate goal of the test programme is a full gas hydrogen ground test on a Pearl engine, then transitioning to liquid hydrogen, and finally taking the technology to flight.
Initial tests, scheduled to begin in early 2024, will focus on validating Butterfly's propulsion systems, flight control mechanics, safety features, and operational efficiency.
In addition to 1,000 new production aircraft, the company has delivered hundreds of backcountry aircraft kits and innumerable major rebuilds and upgrades to the classic Piper Super Cub during its 43-year history.
The HyTEC's Phase 2 Integrated Core Technology Demonstration is a cost-sharing contract with a maximum value of approximately $68.1 million and a five-year performance period.
Overair's unique trajectory-based control scheme in conjunction with a fault tolerant, multi-channel digital comms network could help future military rotorcraft become more damage-resistant and reliable in combat.
The joint GCAP government HQ will be hosted in the UK and the first CEO will come from Japan. In addition, the future business construct will also be headquartered in the UK and the first leader will be from Italy.
Honeywell successfully completed the first flight of its Anthem integrated flight deck using its Pilatus PC-12 test aircraft in May 2023, paving the way for Federal Aviation Administration certification.
