In 1939, #NationalAviationDay was created to celebrate the development of aviation, coinciding with Orville Wright’s Birthday. At Venus, we find it fitting, since we continue to engineer the future of aviation, that we honor today by taking a moment to appreciate our recent accomplishments. This spring, our inaugural supersonic drone flight not only got us data, but it allowed us to successfully demonstrate our flight controls, stability and one leg of our ultimate rotating detonation rocket engine propulsion system. We can’t wait to share what we’re doing next. Happy National Aviation Day to our team, and to those who continue to propel us all into the future. https://lnkd.in/gnmeDa4F

If it is the first one I cannot judge. For sure tiltwing aircraft are the future! Why? Best transition behaviour Best controllability in hover Most power reserves in transition No drag in cruise And the transition does not work only up to 3‘000 kg but has been demonstrated up to 20‘000kg
Earlier this week we shared the story about Dufour Aerospace's first tilt-wing flight in Sweden. If we were only a little cheekier, we would boast the first ever flight of a tilt-wing aircraft in the history of Sweden. But honestly, we don't know if that's really true. Hence our question: Has ever a tilt-wing aircraft flown in Sweden? Not tilt-rotor, not lift&push, but quite simply tilt-wing. Does anyone know? Either way, here's the video. We hope you like it. #tiltwing #dronedelivery #advancedairmobility #AeroMini #Aero2 Savback Helicopters | Västervik Drone Science Park

Pivotal wins 2024 AERO Friedrichshafen e-Flight Award 🏆 Light aircraft developer Pivotal has received the 2024 AERO Friedrichshafen e-Flight Award for pioneering electric aviation with its amphibious ultralight eVTOL. Unlike a multicopter or a tilt-wing aircraft using complex tilting rotors or wings, Pivotal’s novel architecture allows the entire vehicle to rotate when transitioning between vertical flight and efficient, winged forward flight. Find out more > > https://hubs.ly/Q02xqq530 Ken Karklin, Pivotal CEO, commented; “Winning the 2024 Aero Friedrichshafen e-Flight Award affirms Pivotal’s leadership role in developing and producing light electric VTOL aircraft. Pivotal’s eVTOLs represent a new era in aviation and our aircraft are designed to offer versatility for both recreational and practical applications.” Read more on the Advanced Air Mobility International website. #evtol #aircraft #aviation #aerospace #advancedairmobility #mobility #award

this is also very suitable for manned craft
This aircraft uses foldable wings to take off like a helicopter yet fly like a normal airplane. Transwing eVTOL can switch between rotorcraft and fixed-wing configurations. Developed by aircraft manufacturer PteroDynamics, it combines the agile vertical takeoff and landing of a drone with the economical long-range horizontal flight of an airplane. #gigadgets #flight #aviation #electric #aircraft

As the Head of Space Operations at GACA, my team and I are navigating the evolving landscape of Higher Airspace Operations (HAO), an area where technological advancements are rapidly reshaping the aviation industry. With the growing use of high-altitude platforms (HAPS), unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), and the increasing frequency of commercial space operations, HAO represents both an opportunity and a challenge. The recent discussions at the 14th Air Navigation Conference (AN-Conf/14) highlighted the pressing need for international cooperation and regulatory frameworks. With higher airspace sitting at the intersection of conventional aviation and space operations, there is a growing necessity for integrated airspace management systems that can ensure safe, efficient, and sustainable use of this emerging domain. ICAO has been instrumental in bringing together member states to share experiences and align on best practices to address the operational complexities of HAO. [see the working paper: AN-Conf/14-WP/131] This new frontier requires all stakeholders—governments, regulators, and private entities—to work together, ensuring that operational safety and sustainability are at the core of this innovation. As we continue to push the boundaries of what’s possible, the focus remains on harmonizing higher airspace operations with established air traffic systems, preparing for the exciting future of global aerospace operations. #HigherAirspace #AviationInnovation #Aerospace #SpaceOperations #FutureOfAviation

From Humble Beginnings to Cutting Edge Technology. The aviation industry is a testament to human ingenuity and the relentless pursuit of innovation. In 1903, the Wright brothers achieved the first powered, controlled, and sustained flight with their Wright Flyer at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. This monumental event introduced fundamental principles of aerodynamics and control that laid the foundation for modern aviation. The introduction of the Douglas DC-3 in 1935 revolutionized air travel by making it more accessible and reliable. Its all-metal design and efficient engines set new standards for performance and durability, significantly advancing commercial aviation. Entering service in 1952, the De Havilland Comet ushered in the Jet Age as the world’s first commercial jet airliner. Despite initial challenges, it represented a monumental leap in aeronautical engineering, paving the way for modern jet travel. The Boeing 747, known as the “Jumbo Jet,” transformed global air travel in 1970 with its unprecedented size and range. It made international travel more accessible and affordable, setting new benchmarks for commercial aircraft design. The Concorde, entering service in 1976, was a marvel capable of cruising at Mach 2, effectively halving transatlantic flight times. It pushed the boundaries of speed and aerodynamics, representing the pinnacle of supersonic passenger travel. In 1987, the Airbus A320 introduced digital fly-by-wire control systems, enhancing flight precision and safety. This innovation marked a significant advancement in avionics, influencing all subsequent commercial aircraft designs. First delivered in 2011, the Boeing 787 Dreamliner is notable for its extensive use of composite materials and cutting-edge technologies, improving fuel efficiency and passenger comfort. It represents significant achievements in materials science and environmental performance. The MQ-1 Predator drone, entering service in 1995, marked a significant shift toward unmanned aerial vehicles in military operations. Its remote operation capabilities revolutionized reconnaissance and combat strategies. In 2015, SpaceX successfully landed the first stage of its Falcon 9 rocket after delivering a payload to orbit, pioneering reusable rocket technology and transforming commercial spaceflight. Completing its first flight in 2022, the Eviation Alice is an all-electric commuter aircraft representing a significant step toward sustainable aviation. It highlights advancements in electric propulsion and reflects the industry’s commitment to greener technologies. The journey of aviation engineering is a fascinating narrative of overcoming challenges and redefining possibilities.
