BYD’s annual sales have topped $100bn for the first time, as China’s electric vehicle champion dominates its domestic market and presses ahead with an overseas expansion. Shenzhen-based BYD said revenue […] The post BYD annual sales top $100 billion, 23andMe files for bankruptcy protection appeared first on ShinyShiny.
Electra's aircraft looks conventional enough, but it generates ludicrous amounts of lift, to take off and land at incredibly slow speeds, using almost no runway. With US$9 billion in pre-orders, it's outselling anything from the eVTOL world.Continue ReadingCategory: Aircraft, TransportTags: Electric Aircraft, eSTOL, STOL, Climate Solutions: Aviation, Electra (aircraft company), 2025 Updates
Earlier this month we looked at the Flying Whales airship, a hugely ambitious project if ever there was one. A small but critical piece of that floating puzzle, the Evolito axial flux motor – or all 32 of them – will be responsible for powering the big, bloated behemoth forward.Continue ReadingCategory: Aircraft, TransportTags: Electric Motors, Airships, Electric Aircraft
You might think that if a species died out tens of millions of years ago, its design would be too primitive to have any applications in modern-day technology. A new analysis of pterosaur bones, however, suggests that their microstructure could inspire lighter, stronger aircraft materials.Continue ReadingCategory: ScienceTags: University of Manchester, Biomimicry, Fossils, Bones, Aircraft
Washington-based fusion energy company Helion just raised US$425 million in fresh funding for its bid to be the first to produce usable electricity through nuclear fusion. The firm's latest Series F round brings the total investment into Helion over the $1 billion line, and it's aiming to begin delivering power from a single fusion 50-MW plant to Microsoft by 2028.Continue ReadingCategory: Energy
This particular plane was not the one involved in the incident, but it shows the capacity of the SuperScooper.Photo: De Havilland CanadaA civilian drone collided with a firefighting airplane flying over the Palisades fire in California on Thursday, prompting the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to launch an investigation. While the airplane in question, the Quebec 1, landed safely with no in
New York City will soon be getting its own personal offshore wind farm. The Empire Wind 1 project just received a US$3 billion project financing package and is expected to go online in 2027, powering roughly half a million borough residents. But what's the catch?Continue ReadingCategory: Energy, TechnologyTags: New York, Offshore Wind, Wind turbine, Wind Power, Renewable Energy, Green+Energy
In the heart of Monaco’s coastline, a new vision of urban development has come to life. Dubbed the Mareterra project, this floating eco-district was officially completed this month, setting an unprecedented global benchmark. Built entirely on "land" reclaimed from the sea to create new territory for development, this urban expansion adds six hectares (about 15 acres or 3% of Monaco’s total land a
Another day, another wild electrified aircraft concept that reimagines the future of air travel in a way that fascinates and enthralls. This time around, it isn't a straight eVTOL serving as protagonist, but a hybrid that tilts its ducted electric fans to offer helicopter versatility with airplane range and efficiency. Technically identified as a hybrid-electric vertical and short takeoff and lan
Swedish startup Heart Aerospace is gearing up for the first experimental flight of the X1 early next year, an electric demonstrator aircraft that's the same size as its upcoming 30-seater commercial plane.Continue ReadingCategory: Aircraft, TransportTags: Electric Aircraft, Hybrid Air, Plane, Flight Simulation, Prototype
