US Air Force Approves New Green Aircraft Demonstrator Project
The US Air Force has put its seal of approval on the new X-66A green aircraft demonstrator project from NASA and Boeing, aimed at cutting fuel consumption by 30% and setting the stage for net zero emissions.
Joby Aviation Set To Take Its eVTOL Public In $6.6B SPAC Deal
Santa Cruz-based Joby Aviation has been quietly working on its tilt-rotor eVTOL air taxi for over a decade now, but … [continued]
Total & Gaussin Creating World’s 1st Fully Electric Aircraft Fuel Truck
Energy giant Total Group and engineering firm Gaussin are working together to create the world’s first 100% electric fuel truck for the aviation industry.
NASA & Uber Working On Our Urban Air Mobility Future
NASA and Uber are working to tackle the future of our urban air mobility (UAM) needs. The focus is on the future for city transport for both people and packages transported by air.
The Airbus Vahana Flies
Airbus electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) development might not be as fast-paced as startups’ development, but it is making progress nonetheless. Here’s what’s new with the Airbus Vahana eVTOL.
Why Are Tourist Airplanes So Loud?
After an 11-day hike around Zion Canyon, Brice Canyon, and the Grand Canyon, one thing became clear. Why are tourist parks and monument aviation so loud? We need quieter and cleaner electric mobility.
Is Kitty Hawk Introducing Range Anxiety For eVTOL Aircraft With Its Heaviside?
We finally heard about Kitty Hawk’s “secret project,” which sports the strange name of Heaviside. It introduces the notion of range for an electric vertical take-off & landing (eVTOL) aircraft. The demonstration of the aircraft flying is fantastic but I wonder if we’re about to witness another “range anxiety” war between eVTOL manufacturers? Let’s hope not.
Can Flying Cars Save The Environment? These Scientists Seem To Think So
It might run counter to what most believe, but electric vertical takeoff & landing (eVTOL) aircraft could be better for our environment than the congested wheeled mess we have on our roads. A few scientists have been trying to determine this and are on the side of the eVTOL aircraft.
Airbus: People Like The Idea Of Urban Air Mobility
Airbus just released the results of a preliminary survey, Preliminary Community Perception Study, on the public’s perception of Urban Air Mobility (UAM), and it’s mostly favorable.
