Program Manager for 17th Global Summit on Nursing Education & Healthcare Nov 10-11,2025,Barcelona,Spain & International conference on Aerospace and Aeronautical Engineering July 22-23,2025 Webinar.
After a first flight in May another 26 flights were flown at Aeroporti di Puglia in Grottaglie (Italy), with our scaled version of a large passenger aircraft with distributed electric propulsion. 📽 ✈
The dynamics of the aircraft was measured and two control algorithms using asymmetric thrust were tested. Part of the manoeuvres were flown with the remote human pilot in the ground station controlling the aircraft with control surfaces and through differential thrust (meaning the motors on the left and the right side have different rotation speed). We learned a lot about the technology!
The project contributes to the objective of the Clean Sky 2 programme of the European Commission in which Airbus, ONERA - The French Aerospace Lab, CIRA - Italian Aerospace Research Centre, TU Delft | Aerospace Engineering, Orange Aerospace.-, and NLR collaborate.

Today, in our society, aerospace engineering is playing a critical role in advancing scientific discoveries, enriching human knowledge about the universe, in national security, communications, global connectivity, earth observation, and navigation.
Various advanced technologies, designed and developed by aerospace engineers, are being used to advance the course of space exploration, aviation, defense, weather monitoring, disaster management. Aircraft, spacecraft and launch vehicles innovations and inventions, made possible by aerospace engineering, are shaping how humans travel and communicate and helping with better understanding of humans’ existence in the universe.
“Space is for everybody. It's not just for a few people in science or math, or for a select group of astronauts. That's our new frontier out there, and it's everybody's business to know about space."
- Christa McAuliffe, Teacher and Challenger Astronaut

On September 2, the Boundary Layer Transition 1B (BOLT-1B) experiment, a joint research project of Johns Hopkins APL, the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) and the German Aerospace Center (DLR), traveled over the Norwegian Sea at Mach 7.2. 🚀 https://jhuapl.link/ifq
The experiment provided important data on a phenomenon called "boundary layer transition" (the flow of air around the skin of a hypersonic vehicle), which increases hypersonic vehicle drag and aerodynamic heating. That scientific data will be used by researchers to validate new and more accurate modeling and prediction methods during the design of hypersonic vehicles.
To collect this data, the experiment was equipped with instruments to take over 400 measurements, with locations on the vehicle determined through extensive research to better understand the physics of boundary layer transition on the BOLT vehicle's geometry.
