Navy successfully demonstrated unmanned cargo delivery systems for ship at sea | NAVAIR

The demo, held in collaboration with the Small Tactical Unmanned Aircraft Systems program (PMA-263), employed unmanned vehicles to transport cargo weighing less than 50 lbs., which accounts for 90% of Navy logistics deliveries.

"We are seeing an increase in manned and unmanned logistics," said Col. Victor Argobright, PMA-263 program manager. "For the Marine Corps, the Commandant is enthusiastic about where we are going with unmanned logistics, and is beginning conversations about operations and contested environments. The Navy is currently identifying areas where unmanned logistics would be a critical enabler to operations at sea, and the Blue Water Maritime Logistics UAS is a great demonstration of this emerging requirement."

Sikorsky Challenging FLRAA Award

In a statement issued on Wednesday, Lockheed Martin said, "Based on a thorough review of the information and feedback provided by the Army, Lockheed Martin Sikorsky, on behalf of Team Defiant, is challenging the FLRAA decision. The data and discussions lead us to believe the proposals were not consistently evaluated to deliver the best value in the interest of the Army, our soldiers, and American taxpayers. The critical importance of the FLRAA mission to the Army and our nation requires the most capable, affordable, and lowest-risk solution. We remain confident Defiant X is the transformational aircraft the Army requires to accomplish its complex missions today and well into the future."

Rotors for Mission to Titan Tested at Langley’s Transonic Dynamics Tunnel

A key component of the 8-rotor Dragonfly vehicle that will make that journey to Titan recently underwent testing at the Transonic Dynamics Tunnel (TDT) at NASA's Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia.

Similar to a drone, Dragonfly will traverse Titan's dense, nitrogen-rich atmosphere, then land on, sample and examine various sites. Dragonfly will have four pairs of rotors, each with two rotors in coaxial configuration, meaning one rotor above the other. It's similar to, but significantly larger than, a typical terrestrial drone, as the vehicle is over 12 feet both nose to tail and at the widest points, rotor tip-to-tip.

"San Javier, ciudad del aire", celebró ayer domingo una Jornada Aeronáutica, con un día de puertas abiertas en el aeródromo Los Garranchos, donde desde las diez de la mañana, se fueron sucediendo las actividades entre las que destacó la de aeroestación. El público pudo disfrutar de los globos estáticos que ofrecían un panorama lo más parecido al vuelo con ultraligeros que también se pudieron admirar de cerca. El vuelo de las aves, con una muestra de cetrería animó un programa que incluía actividades de aeromodelismo, teatro infantil y la exposición Autogiro "Alas de Genio", dedicada a Juan de la Cierva. El recinto de Los Garranchos, sirvió como punto de encuentro para otras actividades como la tradicional exhibición de vehículos clásicos o la también tradicional jornada de puertas abiertas y demostraciones del servicio de Protección Civil. Unas migas para una mañana que empezó lluviosa y una paella gigante a medio día sirvieron para reponer fuerzas entre el público visitante que tuvo al Ayuntamiento de San Javier y los miembros del Aeroclub Mar Menor como anfitriones.

Embraer: news - Embraer - The shape of things to come, new sustainable aircraft concepts revealed

A year on from Embraer's Sustainability in Action in event, which detailed the study of four new aircraft concepts powered by new technologies and renewable energies, the company has been focusing on two 19-30 seater designs for hybrid electric and hydrogen electric propulsion. Guided by the company's 50 year technical expertise, external inputs from airlines, and joint studies with engine OEMs, these two approaches to net-zero offer a technically realistic and economically feasible pathway to net-zero.

 

 

Energia Hybrid (E19-HE and E30-HE) – revealed as a nine seater in 2021, Embraer is exploring a 19 and a 30 seater variant:   

    parallel hybrid-electric propulsion
    up to 90% CO2 emissions reduction when using SAF
    19 and 30 seat variants
    rear-mounted engines
    technology readiness – early 2030's

 

 

Energia H2 Fuel Cell (E19-H2FC and E30-H2FC) – revealed as a 19 seater in 2021, Embraer is exploring a 30 seater variant:    

    hydrogen electric propulsion
    zero CO2 emissions
    19 and 30 seat variants
    rear-mounted electric engines
    technology readiness – 2035
