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

New analysis of pterosaur bones may bring us lighter, stronger aircraft
Posted by ArielTechGeek 30 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
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
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
Radical tilt-ducted hybrid aircraft looks to redefine air travel
Posted by ArielTechGeek 91 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
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

Airbus and Toshiba team up to create superconducting aircraft motor
Posted by ArielTechGeek 140 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Making a virtue out of necessity, Airbus is joining forces with Toshiba to develop a super-efficient superconducting motor for aircraft that uses the liquid hydrogen that supplies the electricity to cool the propulsion and adjacent systems.Continue ReadingCategory: Aircraft, TransportTags: Airbus, Toshiba, Hydrogen Aviation
FAA creates America's first new aircraft category since the 1940s
Posted by ArielTechGeek 140 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
In a major jump into the era of eVTOL air taxis and multicopter cargo drones, the US FAA has issued new regulations that introduce the first new aircraft category, called "power-lift" aircraft, since modern helicopters were introduced in the 1940s.Continue ReadingCategory: Aircraft, TransportTags: FAA, Quadcopter, Air Taxis
Super-simplified aircraft promises pilots a car-like flying experience
Posted by ArielTechGeek 144 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
When it comes to things that have a reputation for being hard to learn, flying an airplane certainly ranks among the hardest. The Airhart Sling could soon change that, however, as it's designed to radically automate and simplify the flying process.Continue ReadingCategory: Aircraft, TransportTags: Flying, Flight, Pilots, Training
Electronic warfare system creates fleets of phantom aircraft
Posted by ArielTechGeek 146 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Leonardo UK has publicly rolled out its BriteStorm electronic warfare system that allows air forces to penetrate hostile airspace by creating phantom squadrons of fighter planes and missiles to jam and spoof radar defenses.Continue ReadingCategory: Military, TechnologyTags: Aircraft, leonardo, drones, Electronic
New system lets X-62A aircraft adjust flight control behavior in the air
Posted by ArielTechGeek 147 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Lockheed Martin's famous-yet-secret Skunk Works is conducting live flight tests of its Smart Adaptive Flight Control Environment (SAFE) autonomous AI system on the X-62A. The system can be reconfigured in real time while the X-plane is still in the air.Continue ReadingCategory: Military, TechnologyTags: Aircraft, Lockheed Martin, US Air Force, Autonomous flight
