While conferences are a great place to deliver information and expose individuals to new technologies, workshops play an important role in advancing these technologies to the next level — the goal being to provide opportunities for more one-on-one collaboration, free and open discussions, and, most importantly, the identification and solving of problems.
Leading engine manufacturers are developing hybrid-electric powerplants for turboprop and turbofan regional airliners for reduced emissions, fuel consumption and operating costs.
The US Air Force report to Congress details the overview, approach, milestones, and future plans for the AFWERX Agility Prime program. This new approach is accelerating and adopting dual-use technologies in the Department of the Air Force, specifically for the transformative vertical lift and electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing (eVTOL) industry.
NASA’s X-57 Maxwell experimental aircraft is testing a commercial four-seat Italian Tecnam P2006T modified as an electric conventional takeoff and landing (eCTOL) aircraft.
While numerous electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft move toward certification, NASA Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia, is researching how these aircraft operate and interact with an electric-propulsion system.
Electra.aero and Airflow.aero, two leading manufacturers of hybrid eSTOL aircraft, have joined forces.
magniX, the Redmond, Washington-based developer of electric power systems, announced on April 28 that it has partnered with AeroTEC and Air Tindi on the NASA Electrified Powertrain Flight Demonstrator project.
On March 29–31, the Vertical Flight Society hosted a groundbreaking, first-ever symposium and workshop on the potential for hydrogen (H2) to decarbonize aerospace.
While many watched from home, eVTOL overshadowed the automotive displays and provided an opportunity for the public to see the future of air transport.
Transformative Vertical Flight (TVF) 2022 was held Jan. 25–27, with some 375 participants in San Jose, California, and another 200 attendees online, in the first hybrid event organized by VFS.
