Aurora Flight Sciences has taken a major step forward in its experimental aircraft program, ...
NASA's X-29 tested forward-swept wings and digital fly-by-wire control, advancing unstable aircraft design and high-angle flight research.
Aurora Flight Sciences and DARPA are continuing the assembly of the X-65 CRANE demonstrator, targeting a first flight by 2027 ...
Aerodynamic modelling and flight testing remain at the forefront of aircraft design and verification, providing the essential linkage between computational simulations and real-world performance.
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 ...
The US Navy (USN) has completed its first test flight using an uncrewed aircraft control station that will be installed on the service’s fleet of aircraft carriers. In a demonstration event on 7 ...
The high-speed uncrewed test aircraft performed its first flight at Edwards AFB, just a year after the launch of the development. Hermeus, a U.S. company aiming to develop hypersonic aircraft quickly ...
LONDON–The Lilium Jet will be easy to fly, the eVTOL (electric vertical take-off and landing) aircraft developer’s chief test pilot said, but questions around pilot training remain works in progress ...
MARINA – Joby Aviation, on its way to commercial flight of its all-electric, vertical take-off and landing air taxi, is preparing for final assembly of the first of several conforming aircraft ...
The next-generation J-36 appears to be still in the initial phases of flight testing, flying with landing gear down and a flight data probe installed on the nose. Various videos captured by people on ...
