CycloTech's all-electric flying vehicle is capable of controlled descents even in stormy weather with motors similar to those used for tug boats

Beyond the Headlines: Why the TISG vs. NYT Story Matters for Maritime Innovation The recent controversy over the Bayesian yacht highlights a crucial industry truth: even somewhat impeccable design can't eliminate human variables. This is precisely why we're championing autonomous systems in modern vessels. While TISG rightfully defends their design standards (meeting all MCA requirements), the incident spotlights the transformative potential of autonomous technology. Smart systems can: • Monitor heel angles 24/7 • Automatically secure watertight openings • Adjust ballast in real-time • Respond to weather conditions faster than human crews The future isn't just about better boat design – it's about smarter boats that minimize human error and maximize safety. #AutonomousBoating #MaritimeTech #FutureOfYachting #SmartVessels #Innovation #MaritimeSafety #ArtificialIntelligence #Innovation #Automation https://lnkd.in/gQs-djJh

HeliLadder MXPS Time Lapse | Helicopter Ladder With a little practice, the HeliLadder Maintenance Platform System (MXPS) can be set up within minutes. This configuration utilizes the 70" platform and the 4' extension. Set up in an inline, overhung, or T arrangement. 90" platforms are also available; extension receiver and self-closing gates are included. #helicopter #pilot #helicopterpilot #mechanic #helicoptermechanic #Rotorcraft #RotorPro

Ever wondered how we achieve that spotless clean of those high water towers? Here’s a sneak peek of how our crew does it with our drone softwash! #softwash #softwashing #exteriorcleaning #housewash #housemaintenance #patiocleaning #deckcleaning #pavercleaning #roofcleaning #nationalsoftwash #surfacecleaning

Impressive!! Two lessons here: polycarbonate windshield can save you but tablet installed at the wrong location can kill you! This is an eye opener to install your tablet holder in a better location.

Recently, while I have been testing one of our new environments, I passed this bridge and I have realized that I sailed last time in this area when this bridge was still under construction (afterwards my Rhine license were in a higher demand). It is fascinating how far simulation technology came just in the last couple of years and how major impact it will have on the future of inland shipping. With the advance of automation and remote sailing options the crew will become more in an observer role, but it will also mean less hands on experience for them, especially on the stretch. The advancement of autonomous systems in aviation a few decades ago shows clearly nowdays that the pilot skills would be degrading if they would not become their simulator training hours. As the sailing areas expend we will be able to properly prepare even experienced crewmembers to sail on rivers with confidence where they have never been before. Thinking about the new technologies waiting to get introduced to the inland shipping, simulators will provide a crucial training opportunity to familiarize with some systems, before hands on experience starts for the crew. I'm thankful to live in an age where I can help my fellow nautical crew members with accurate and realistic scenarios to get them to the next level. #inlandshipping #simulation #safety

Pusher Test Enhances eVTOL Progress We are advancing our engineering prototype tests that bring us closer to delivering the right eVTOL choice to accelerate sustainable urban air travel. We recently conducted our pusher test, a key step toward its first flight. The pusher is an electric motor at the aircraft's tail that controls the cruise flight phase. This test focused on evaluating the motor’s performance, communicating between the inverters and the remote pilot station, and ensuring that the system operates as designed. This milestone advances the integration of the pusher with other aircraft systems, bringing us closer to validating our engineering solutions. Watch what our CEO, Johann C. Bordais, and our head of noise and vibration, Isabel Lima Hidalgo, have to say about this milestone. #EveAirMobility #MobilityReimagined #UrbanAirMobility #AdvancedAirMobility #eVTOL #Innovation #PusherTest

We have combined our global expertise in onshore and offshore drone operations with our leading repair experience and cutting-edge software development to create our repair robot, Sparrow. This is how it works: ➡️ Drone Delivery: The Sparrow repair robot is transported to the blade using a heavy-lift drone, controlled from a ground station from the vessel deck (offshore) or ground (onshore) ➡️ Repair Process:: Upon landing and locking in position, Sparrow executes repairs in three steps. 1) Sanding, 2) cleaning/filling, 3) LEP application. ➡️ Tool Changes: Tool changes are managed during the repair process for optimal performance. ➡️ Retrieval: After completing repairs, Sparrow is retrieved from the blade by the heavy-lift drone. We are continuously enhancing Sparrow’s capabilities to reduce repair time and maximize efficiency. Follow along for more updates, or come meet us at WindEnergy Hamburg to learn more. We’ll be in Hall B1.EG, Stand 309 #bladerepair #windprofessionals #wetakecareofyourblades
