Video: The SKYLIFT (TM) Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) aircraft can take off, hover, and land vertically. With SKYLIFT (TM) this is achieved through the use of thrust duct vectoring, which is the ability to manipulate the direction of the thrust from its engine(s) or motor(s) to control the attitude or angular velocity of the aircraft. This means no propellers or rotors are required on the aircraft. Most other VTOL aircraft in development are essentially just alternative fuel helicopters as they rely on rotors for lift and maneuverability. The SKYLIFT (TM) VTOL aircraft uses the principle of thrust vectoring, where the direction of the engine’s thrust is manipulated to control the vehicle’s movement. It can perform various maneuvers not available to conventional-engine aircraft and in a manner conducive to urban living. Helicopters on the other hand use rotating wings, or rotors, to generate lift and control movement. Helicopters are much slower and less fuel-efficient than fixed-wing aircraft. They also require complex mechanical systems to control the rotor blades, which leads to higher maintenance costs. Finally, there is the voluminous noise associated with mechanical rotors that make urban usage a substantive nuisance. #VTOL #SKYLIFT https://lnkd.in/gzyCfX6x #NGAD #hypersonic #airforce #usarmy #spaceforce #HYPERJet #HYPERMissile #HYPERBomber #HYPERLiner #hydrogen #aerospace #spaceflight #airsuperiority #NASA #BLACKSTAR

Deep Blue Aerospace Hop Test Suffers Anomaly Moments Before Landing: schwit1 shares a report SpaceNews with the caption: "Failures aren't failures if you learn from them." From the report: Chinese commercial rocket firm Deep Blue Aerospace conducted a first-stage rocket hop test Sunday, experiencing a partial failure during the final moments of landing. Deep Blue Aerospace carried out the test at 1:40 a.m. Eastern (0540 UTC) Sept. 22 at the firm's Ejin Banner Spaceport in Inner Mongolia using a Nebula-1 rocket first stage. Footage of the vertical liftoff, vertical landing test shows the rocket ascending to a predetermined altitude before shutting off two of the three engines used for the 179-second flight. Landing legs deployed as planned, and the stage hovered above its planned landing spot. However an anomaly during the final engine shutdown phase led to a higher-than-expected landing altitude, leading to partial damage. You can watch the landing attempt and explosion here.
