🛩️🍃 The United States Air Force has collaborated with BETA TECHNOLOGIES to conduct a cargo test flight of its ALIA all-electric fixed-wing aircraft. The test was held to evaluate the platform’s performance in real-world scenarios and validate its applications for military missions, including critical resupply and cargo and personnel transport. According to 305th Maintenance Squadron Production Controller Alyxandra Scalone, it took the ALIA approximately 45 minutes to deliver the cargo despite Dover being “two and a half hours away from us.” “It brings key innovation to the mission,” she said. “It’s going to make things faster and simpler.” #military #army #defense #defence #defenseindustry #defenceindustry #defensetech #defencetech #militarytech #technology #innovation #usairforce #aviation #militaryaviation #aerospace

It's been 20 years since the first three #Eurofighter arrived at Morón air base in Seville, Spain. The fighters of the 11th Wing of the Spanish Air and Space Force are an example of national sovereignty and technological superiority. They have demonstrated this throughout these years, both on Spanish territory and in international missions. Since 2015, the Eurofighters of the 11th Wing have participated in 5 NATO Air Policing missions, protecting the Eastern Flank, both in the Baltic countries and in the Balkans. The pilots deployed to these missions have passed through the Eurofighter Training Center (ETC) of Morón Air Base that is proof of successful collaboration between the Ejército del Aire y del Espacio and the industry, led by Airbus Defence and Space. In this model, industrial companies engage in the initial and advanced training of pilots, as well as in ground instruction of training squadron pilots. The use of simulators in the ETC makes training fighter pilots not only safer but also more economical, and more sustainable.

#ArcticDefender, the first leg of one the largest air exercises to date - #PacificSkies24 - is coming to an end. Let's recap what happened: The exercise has been led by the German Air Force. It has seen the three #FCAS nations 🇩🇪🇫🇷🇪🇸 train together with their US and Canadian allies in Alaska, and aims to simulate a so called NATO Article 5 scenario i.e. #NATO partners are to take necessary actions in case one member state is under attack. For the first time, the European Air Transport Command has trained air-to-air refuelling outside of European air space. During the missions, #A330MRTTs of the Armée de l’air et de l’espace and NATO's Multinational MRTT Unit have provided fuel to German Tornados, Spanish and German #Eurofighter but also fighter jets from France and the US, demonstrating their interoperability with allied aircraft.
