As a result, flight testing is vastly sped up because the aircraft can shift to a new iteration without having to land and head back to the hangar. In addition, SAFE uses AI and machine learning to ...

Modern aerospace engineering increasingly relies on the seamless integration of advanced performance modelling with state‐of‐the‐art flight control systems. These systems optimise aerodynamic ...

The aircraft is meant to develop and mature rotor blown wing design, which can now be applied to larger aircraft for unmanned aerial logistics and even tactical ISR missions. Sikorsky announced it has ...

Simplifying flight—to make it as easy as getting into a car with automatic transmission—has long eluded the aerospace engineers creating new aircraft. While we’ve relied on flight controls such as ...

Scaled Composites' Model 437 Vanguard Loyal Wingman prototype has taken to the air for the first time. On August 29, 2024, the aircraft took off from Mojave Air and Space Port in California with test ...

Archer Aviation ($ACHR) is adding to its technology base. The electric aircraft maker announced it won a bid to buy around ...

Boeing and its research subsidiary Aurora Flight Sciences have unveiled a new high-speed X-plane that could revolutionize warfare. Aurora told Newsweek the X-plane, which combines the agility of ...

Carrier islands are on the starboard side to counter how planes veer left during takeoff and landing, making landings safer.
