On this day in 1903, Orville and Wilbur Wright achieved the first powered flight, soaring for just 12 seconds. It was a humble start, but the ripple effect was extraordinary. Consider this: a mere 57 years later, humanity traveled beyond Earth and into space. The pace of progress from a 12-second flight to entering space showcases the exponential growth of technology and human ambition. That journey—from Kitty Hawk to the stars—wouldn't have been possible without advancements in standardization, safety, and quality. The Wright Brothers sparked the need for engineering precision, which continues to be at the core of aerospace innovation today. At Nadcap, we carry forward their spirit of progress by upholding the rigorous standards that ensure safety and quality in aerospace manufacturing and beyond. While our impact may not be quite of the same order of magnitude, we’re proud to play a role in enabling safe, reliable flights. ✈️Here’s to the Wright Brothers, pioneers of flight, and to the industry’s commitment to quality that moves us forward. #WrightBrothersDay #Aerospace #Aviation #Nadcap #Innovation #Quality #Safety #Engineering #WrightBrothers
In this article, we are going to compare the various features of these two incredible private jets - the Citation Latitude and Gulfstream G150 - both of which entered into service after 2015. https://lnkd.in/epSUTFg7
Today marks a historic day - the Wright Brothers’ first flight back in 1903. Believe it or not, aluminium played a key role in this flight becoming possible. Though the flight lasted only 12 seconds, it lives on forever in history as the first usage of aluminium in aircraft engine construction. Watch the video to learn how aluminium’s strength and light weight helped the Wright Brothers and many others successfully take flight. #OTD #Aerospace #WrightBrothers #FirstFlight #aluminium #aluminum

Model 437 Vanguard Takes Flight: The Latest Experimental Aircraft from Scaled Composites In partnership with Northrop Grumman, Scaled Composites, LLC has announced the successful first flight of their newest experimental aircraft, the Model 437 #Vanguard. Designed as a multi-mission, low-cost attritable aircraft, the Model 437 is based on the Model 401 concept and brings impressive capabilities to the table. Powered by a Pratt & Whitney 535 engine delivering 3,400 lbs of thrust, the Vanguard features a 41-foot wingspan, a gross takeoff weight of 10,000 pounds, and a range of up to 3,000 nautical miles. With a six-hour endurance and the ability to carry 2,000 pounds of payload—including two AIM-120s in an internal weapons bay—it’s engineered for versatility and endurance.

🛫 BAE Systems is set to revolutionize the skies with its actuator control systems for Jet Zero's cutting-edge Blended Wing Body (BWB) aircraft demonstrator. Integrating wings with the fuselage for enhanced fuel efficiency and reduced emissions, this innovative design underscores BAE's leadership in aerospace technology. This project, part of the US Air Force's initiative to explore sustainable aircraft designs, will ensure precision and stability in advanced aerodynamics. Stay tuned as we redefine aerospace engineering! #AerospaceInnovation #SustainableAviation #BAESystems
I enjoyed seeing the interview of Radian Aerospace co-founder Livingston Holder. He discusses why their sled-launched spaceplane is technically and financially feasible. However, the horizontal launch method they propose has the disadvantage of needing heavy wings to support the fully-fueled weight of the spaceplane. In contrast a vertical launch method would use wings that only had to support the dry mass of the craft on return, resulting in much lighter wing weight. I advise Radian to do the trades to find which is the optimal method. Additionally, I advise they base the core of their vehicle on existing upper stages to save on development costs and technical risk. I discuss using the Falcon 9 upper stage and Centaur upper stage for the purpose here: Radian Aerospace Spaceplane. https://lnkd.in/gRnBEgej
Today's Payload Pathfinder episode features Radian's CTO and co-founder, Livingston Holder! Listen in as Mo Islam dives into Livingston's background as a former United States Air Force astronaut as well as our company's roadmap to develop the world's first single-stage-to-orbit spaceplane:
This #ThrowbackThursday is perfectly timed because today is the 48th anniversary of the first flight of the Dassault Aviation Falcon 50, which took to the skies #OTD in 1976! With its advanced tri-jet design, the Falcon 50 set new standards for speed, range, and safety in the world of business jets. Its impressive performance made it a popular choice for both corporate and military applications, and it played a significant role in shaping Dassault’s legacy in aviation. The Falcon 50’s success and innovations paved the way for future models, including the Falcon 7X, which builds upon its groundbreaking design with even more advanced technology and performance capabilities. Have you ever had the good fortune to fly on a Falcon?
