"Clear for takeoff! ✈️ DGCA Theory Ground Classes ready for liftoff on 5th Feb. Buckle up, future aviators – it's time to soar through the skies of knowledge! 🚀✨ #AviationDreams #DGCAJourney #SkyHighLearning"
Delivery drones come in all shapes and sizes.
Here’s a look back at January - a C-130 Rapid Deployment Capability demo with the Little Rock Air Force Base crew, flight testing and a fun meetup with our friends and investors at our flight test facility. #Chaparral #LittleRockAFB #resupply #ACE #agilecombatemployment
Tech meets expertise in pilot training! In high-stakes fields like military aviation, blending top-notch simulators and in-aircraft software with hands-on human guidance is key to effective training. This combo not only ramps up safety and efficiency but also preps pilots perfectly for real combat scenarios. Using tech to simulate real challenges means training is not just effective but super relevant. It’s a great example for any high-skill profession, showing how the right tools can make learning complex stuff a lot safer and smarter. #aviationtech #tech #techvideos #techinnovation #aircraft #aviationlovers #explorepage

On World Pilot's Day, read this great article from East Anglian Air Ambulance with our pilot, Captain Steve.
'I would love to land a helicopter on Ed Sheeran’s land - just because he’s a local celebrity.'- Captain Steve To mark International Pilots Day, and to acknowledge all of the brilliant pilots, aviators and engineers who we are proud to work alongside each day, we caught up with Captain Steve Norris, the longest-serving EAAA pilot, who flies Anglia One (Norwich) missions out of Helimed House.

Technology and automation are amazing tools for flight crews to safely operate thousands of flights every day. But when that technology fails, would you really want only one pilot on the flight deck? Even when the technology is functioning properly, each pilot acts as a cross check for the other, and both cross check the automation, making sure every flight is safe. And as demonstrated so many times, when things go wrong, two pilots (and sometimes more) are the difference between a successful failure and disaster.
NTSB Chair Jennifer Homendy did not mince words about the critical importance of maintaining at least two pilots on the flight deck of commercial airliners. Watch the #SafetyStartsWith2 highlights of her rousing #ALPAASF keynote address.

Great concept for long range missions for UAVs
Boeing 747 Airborne Aircraft Carrier Concept (1970s) In the 1970s, Boeing worked on a project that would have turned jumbo jets into flying aircraft carriers. The Airborne Aircraft Carrier project involved converting the Boeing 747, the largest passenger jet flying at the time, into a mothership capable of launching tiny fighter jets. The Airborne Aircraft Carrier would carry up to 10 “microfighters" and launch and recover them in flight. The plane would use an internal conveyor belt system to send out two fighters every 80 seconds, launching the entire “air wing” in 15 minutes. Once the fighters' mission was complete, the 747 would winch them back aboard, where the pilots could rest and even sleep in their own quarters while the planes were refueled and rearmed.
Sign up here to listen to our webinar in which Nic Steevenson and I discussed with Fran Longstaff PhD the many similarities between fast jet flying and F1 racing!
📺 NEW WEBINAR ALERT 📺 What can we learn from military aviation, one of the most physically gruelling, male-dominated environments out there - with fighter jet pilots experiencing acceleration forces as high as 9 Gs? 🫡 Despite differences in how G-forces are experienced across military aviation and motorsport, there are parallel challenges: ➜ Lack of research and data around female pilots. ➜ Equipment designed for male bodies. ➜ Performance-affecting biomechanics. ➜ Outdated stereotypes. ➜ The importance of mentorship and allyship. We sit down with Helen Seymour, the first woman to pilot the £75 million, 1,550mph Eurofighter Typhoon, and Rosie Steevenson, a former Tornado F3 navigator in a thought-provoking discussion on overcoming barriers and excelling in high-performance and male dominated environments.

Say it louder for the people in the back! Think about what she is saying, would you reduce the number of hydraulic systems because you can do it all with one? How about the number of electrical systems? Pressurization systems, surely one of those can go right? You wouldn’t reduce safety anywhere else, so why do it in the flight deck?! #twopilotminimum #aviationsafety
