DARPA Reveals Designation, Size Of Shepard X-Plane Steve TrimbleJune 24, 2024 Credit: DARPA A large, hybrid-electric-powered flying wing aircraft designed by Northrop Grumman now boasts a military designation number, even as the uncrewed aircraft system (UAS) moves closer to a delayed first flight event later this year, project sponsor DARPA said June 24. Four years after launching as the Series Hybrid Electric Propulsion AiRcraft Demonstration program, also known as Shepard, DARPA says the aircraft is now designated as the XRQ-73. The Shepard program received a unique hybrid electric propulsion system developed for the preceding Northrop XRQ-72 Great Horned Owl demonstrator. The latter lacks a survivable airframe, so Northrop developed a stealthy flying-wing structure with the goal of making the XRQ-73 rapidly fieldable. Although most of the aircraft’s features remain secret, DARPA now describes the XRQ-73 as a 1,250-lb. aircraft, which falls on the high end of the Defense Department’s Group 3 category for UAS. Such aircraft typically are sized at 55 lb. - 1,320 lb., and operate below 18,000 ft. and slower than 250 kt. “The Shepard program is maturing a specific propulsion architecture and power class as an exemplar of potential benefits for the Department of Defense,” DARPA program manager Steve Komadina said. As of last September, DARPA planned to fly the Shepard aircraft by the end of 2023, but the schedule was delayed for unknown reasons. A hybrid-electric propulsion system could greatly extend the range of a flying-wing aircraft. General Atomics Aeronautical Systems Inc. in 2022 revealed a competing concept, the Gambit 4 UAS, leveraging a common structural and avionics baseline with the original Gambit UAS design. The latter concept closely resembles the XQ-67 Off-board Sensing Station, which is in flight testing for the Air Force Research Laboratory.

Horizon Aircraft's Cavorite X7: Revolutionizing Military eVTOL with Fan-in-Wing Technology How could a quieter, more flexible eVTOL enhance military operations? Horizon Aircraft’s Cavorite X7, featuring a hybrid-electric system with fan-in-wing technology, is designed for versatility and reduced noise, making it ideal for missions requiring discretion. Debuting at Japan’s JA2024 Aerospace Exhibition, the X7’s innovative design is drawing attention for its potential in military roles like medical evacuation, insertion/extraction, and ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance). CEO Brandon Robinson highlights the X7’s noise reduction and rotor protection as key advantages for military use, while Senior VP Phil Kelly notes the aircraft's suitability for commando missions with its low acoustic signature, long range, and high-speed capabilities. Designed for affordability and easy maintenance, the X7 offers operational efficiency even for modest military budgets, with the potential to accommodate power-demanding sensors for ISR. With an estimated speed of 250 mph and a range exceeding 500 miles, the Cavorite X7 aims to support diverse applications, from military operations to regional air mobility. Horizon Aircraft continues to refine the X7 with a 50% scale model, reducing technical risks as they move towards full-scale development. How do you envision the Cavorite X7 impacting the future of military eVTOL? Share your thoughts below!

The Taiwanese military is enhancing its defenses against Chinese probing by integrating drone countermeasures with low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites. Tron Future, a Taiwan-based company, is pivotal in this effort, providing satellite communication terminals to bolster wartime communication resilience. The T.SpaceRouter terminal utilizes AESA technology and regional private 5G coverage, serving as a communication antenna and connecting anti-drone systems with LEO satellites by 2025. This strategic move aims to prevent core communication network collapse in potential conflicts. Moreover, the Taiwan Space Agency's Beyond 5G project is set to deploy high-performance LEO spacecraft at 600 kilometers altitude. The military has been testing various counter-drone radars, including Tron Future systems, and jammers with effective detection and jamming capabilities. With plans to install 26 sets of anti-drone systems on frontline islands near China, the government is expected to finalize a multi-million dollar contract within two months. These initiatives are crucial as Taiwan bolsters its defenses, especially considering its status as a major producer of computer chips, making semiconductor factories potential targets in the event of an attack. #military #defense #defence #aerospace #aviation #aircraft #aircrafts #airplane #airplanes #aviationlovers #militaryaviation #militaryaircraft #fighterjet #engineering #technology #militarytechnology #defensetechnology #defenseinnovation #defenseindustry #airforce #pilots #satellite #drone #UAV #drones #satellites #jamming

Aurora Flight Sciences has released new renderings of an uncrewed fan-in-wing vertical take-off-and-landing capable demonstrator aircraft it is currently working on, as well as of a revised vision for a scaled-up cargo aircraft based on the same technology. The demonstrator is being developed under a U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) program centered on interest in a new high-speed, runway-independent special operations transport plane. Aurora’s unveiling of the new renders also comes amid growing interest from the U.S. Air Force in similar capabilities to support more general distributed logistics missions, especially in contested environments during future high-end conflicts. #DARPA #VTOL #Aurora
