Ehang 184 taxi drone to undergo flight testing in the US
// Gizmag Emerging Technology Magazine

The idea of personalized air travel aboard autonomous flying taxis sounds like a pretty fanciful transport concept, but it started to get some serious traction when Ehang's 184 drone landed at CES earlier this year. Many questions remain over how the human-carrying aircraft would function in the real world, but at least some of these may soon be answered with the company winning governmental approval to test the vehicle in Nevada airspace.

Aerospace Awarded NASA Grant for Innovative Space Debris Technology
El Segundo CA (SPX) Jun 08, 2016
NASA has awarded Aerospace a grant to investigate the possibility of developing an extremely thin spacecraft that would wrap around debris and remove it from Earth's orbit. The innovative concept, called Brane Craft, is a 1-meter square spacecraft that is less than half the thickness of a human hair, and therefore exceptionally light, maneuverable, and fuel efficient.

Press Release: Panasonic offering global tracking to all satcom customers
Press Release: Panasonic offering global tracking to all satcom customers
JUNE 9, 2016: Panasonic Avionics today announced that it is offering worldwide satellite tracking to all Global Communications Services and FlightLink™ customers.
Today, the company's Global Communications Services and FlightLink solutions, when combined with Panasonic's AirMap application, immediately satisfy ICAO's Global Aeronautical Distress and Safety System definitions for both normal and abnormal tracking.
Paul Margis, President and Chief Executive Officer for Panasonic Avionics said, "Today, we can seamlessly enable flight tracking on over 1,500 aircraft, and we expect to extend this capability to over 3,500 aircraft over the short term. We believe that this service will ultimately help improve the operational efficiency and safety of commercial air travel."
To support these satellite-based solutions, Panasonic has deployed extensive ground and aircraft based communications solutions that enable tracking of aircraft in a variety of configurable and tailored update rates that support airline operations and exceed the minimum requirements of the current ICAO guidance. The AirMap application is the airline portal into these operations and provides them a graphical way to monitor, track and receive alerts on their aircraft.
Unlike many proposed technologies, Panasonic's flight tracking is based the company's Ku-band eXConnect broadband and Iridium satellite communications solutions. This allows airlines to integrate cockpit and crew communications with their flight tracking capabilities. This gives them the opportunity to use voice or text messaging to contact an aircraft based on the situational awareness they receive from Panasonic's tracking solutions.
Margis added, "Our airline partners have already made a commitment to purchase a satellite communications system for passenger and/or operational usage. With only incremental cost to add the AirMap application, they will have an elegant and cost-effective solution without having to spend even more capital on a separate tracking technology."
