Next Generation Air Dominance 'Fighter' Is Still Being Competed

Secretary of the Air Force Frank Kendall has said he expects a new sixth-generation manned stealth fighter-like jet that is being crafted as part of his service's Next Generation Air Dominance program, or NGAD, to follow a more traditional and potentially protracted development schedule. Kendall added that a previously proposed and questionably ambitious concept for acquiring new aircraft, focused on the relatively rapid development and purchase of smaller batches of highly adaptable designs, will not work in this case due to the highly complex nature of the design.

[Podcast] Industria aeronáutica durante los años de la autarquía, con Niebla de guerra. Archivo Sonoro de Sandglass Patrol 10


 

 

 

En esta ocasión os traemos una colaboración con Sergio Murata y Niebla de Guerra, su podcast, con la participación también de Ignacio del Horno, co-fundador de Sandglass Patrol. Vamos a hablar del periodo autárquico, y de la industria aeronáutica. ¿Nos acompañáis?

pd: Si la intro y la despedida os son familiares, que no os sorprenda. En un ejercicio de nostalgia podcasteril he hablado con Javier Lago para pedirle permiso y utlizar la introducción que hizo para el que, si no recuerdo mal, fue el primer podcast español sobre aviación: Remove Before Flight RBF podcast.

El podcast se puede enontrar en Amazon Music, Apple Podcast, Google Podcast, Ivoox, Spotify

 

El Ejército del Aire pasará a denominarse Ejército del Aire y del Espacio - Ministerio de Defensa de España

La importancia creciente del espacio ultraterrestre en el ámbito aeroespacial determina que las Fuerzas Armadas, y muy especialmente el Ejército del Aire, deban ser capaces de monitorizar el espacio, garantizando su seguridad y libertad de actuación en pro de los intereses nacionales, lo que exigirá el desarrollo y la potenciación progresiva de los sistemas espaciales.

[Video] D328eco program



In conjunction with the D328eco program, Deutsche Aircraft is developing a dedicated propulsion and energy flight test laboratory. This project will leverage the strength of an existing D328 airframe and enable flight test maturation of key technologies. These tests contribute directly to future commercial applications – and the path to zero emission regional air transport. This project is co-funded by BMWk and includes significant contributions from project partners.

 

The objectives of this project are:

  • Support the German State and Federal strategic goals leading towards climate-neutral aviation.
  • Work hand-in-hand with German industrial partners, universities and research institutions within the aviation industry to develop systems and technologies that enable climate-neutral aviation.
  • Develop and mature CS25-relevant technologies to Technical Readiness Level 6. Specifically, by developing a modular flight test aircraft with initial focus on 1.5MW class electric propulsion systems, powered by an onboard LHFuel Cell System.
  • Demonstrate operation and gather experimental data on low and zero emission ground and flight operation.
  • Gain early and first-hand knowledge of airframe integration challenges to guide current and future aircraft design activities at Deutsche Aircraft.
  • Build an in-house competence on emerging technologies. This will enable Deutsche Aircraft to be a smart buyer of future commercial systems, and de-risk technology selection and integration.
