Is autonomous, all-electric, passenger-carrying air travel only a few years from public reality?   The global leaders in attendance at this week's United Nation International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Advanced Air Mobility Symposium (#AAM2024) in Montréal, Canada to discuss the future of transportation, vertiports, airspace integration, and automation sure make it feel real.   An incredible partner ecosystem paving the way towards a future airspace that is scalable, accessible, safe, sustainable and resilient for all.   Learn More: https://lnkd.in/gm-7e3vy   #aam #evtol #aviation #innovation #technology

Seattle-based 𝐑𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐀𝐞𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐞 is designing the Radian One, a “space plane” seen here in an artist’s rendition aiming to reach orbit in a single stage — without dropping components on the way up, like rockets. Radian is convinced it can overcome the hurdles to a successful SSTO (Single-Stage-to-Orbit) thanks to three key technologies: 🔹 A sled launch system, which uses its fuel not just to power its own three engines, but also those on the space plane itself, leaving the space plane with a full tank right before takeoff. 🔹 The landing gear, which is designed only for landing rather than takeoff, which makes it significantly lighter. 🔹 The wings, which are absent in a vertical rocket but reduce the amount of thrust required by the system, by providing lift when flying towards orbit.

I’ve had the opportunity to walk a number of customer shop floors in recent months and hear firsthand the problem in aviation, space and defense sectors Scott Montgomerie describes in this Forbes write-up: There simply isn’t enough skilled labor entering the industry to fulfill the demand. Advanced manufacturing and upskilling initiatives are no longer optional for organizations to address the skills gap at scale — they are a strategic necessity. https://lnkd.in/gN9UfiA8 #aerospace #aviation #advancedmanufacturing #digitalmanufacturing

Washington State's aerospace industry has doubled in just four years, a $70 billion USD sector that supports over 250,000 jobs.   𝐀𝐦𝐚𝐳𝐨𝐧 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐊𝐮𝐢𝐩𝐞𝐫's grand opening of its 172,000-square-foot factory is the latest in exciting opportunities to open up in the space frontier over the coming decade.   Congratulations to the Project Kuiper team and the Washington State aerospace community for fueling groundbreaking technology and ushering in the #NewSpace era. #aerospace #innovation #technology #advancedmanufacturing

Boom Supersonic intends to bring a 21st century supersonic airliner to market by 2030, shrinking the time it takes to cross oceans. Boom founder and CEO 𝐁𝐥𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐒𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐥 and former British Airways Concorde chief pilot 𝐌𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐁𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫 share their insights on how the Overture aircraft will move the technology forward, with new engines and a modern flight deck in this recent Farnborough International Airshow interview with AIN. #aviation #innovation #technology

𝐀𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐤𝐚 𝐀𝐢𝐫𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬 has become the first commercial operator to declare serious interest in the blended wing body (BWB) aircraft under development by 𝐉𝐞𝐭𝐙𝐞𝐫𝐨, signing options for an undisclosed number of aircraft while investing in the California-based startup. The financing, details of which are being withheld, has been made through 𝐀𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐤𝐚 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐫 𝐕𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐬, a venture capital arm launched by the airline in October 2021 with the mission of advancing emerging technologies to help reach a goal of net-zero carbon emissions by 2040. Congratulations to 𝐉𝐞𝐭𝐙𝐞𝐫𝐨, Pasha Saleh and the 𝐀𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐤𝐚 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐫 𝐕𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐬 team! Full Article: https://lnkd.in/ee7u74Qx #Aviation #SustainableAviation #Innovation #Technology
