Our aramids strengthen cargo containers to withstand high temperatures, making the transportation of Li-ion batteries safer than ever.  #teijinaramid #nationalaviationday #airsafety #liionbatteries

Not to be lost among the holiday shuffle, big news out of the The Port Authority of New York & New Jersey is looking to trial a series of eVTOL flights in the new year over a three-day period between its various assets. What that means is that one or more of the New York City metropolitan area’s three major airports (EWR, JFK, LGA) could see the first all-electric air taxi shuttle demonstration flight in 2024. We got a preview of this with Joby Aviation and Volocopter performing the first test flights in NYC airspace at the New York City Economic Development Corporation Downtown Manhattan Heliport, earlier this fall. Great to see NYCEDC and now the PANYNJ really leaning into better understanding these new aircraft (in addition to UAS) through real-life pilots, especially as other big cities/airports have talked ad nauseum about doing something similar, with no real results to show. #NewYorkCity #eVTOL #mobility #aviation

🇪🇺 ✈️ The launch of the "AERO Network" project, the largest collaborative effort in #generalaviation #safety across Europe, is a fact ! What is it about ? ⁉️ The set-up of a widespread ground station network across Europe. Why this initiative? 🚀 To address significant gaps in #airtraffic monitoring, especially with the urgent need to reduce the risk of mid-air #collisions in today's complex air traffic environment. Who's involved? 🤝 #AVIONIX, SafeSky, and #OpenGliderNetwork are co-developing the most advanced ground station. National and local aviation organisations are leading the implementation, supported by European flight instances, and SafeSky is the overall facilitator. How exciting is this ? 🤩 Tristan FILY, CEO of SafeSky : « From the start, we've united industry stakeholders. Today, we take a step further by facilitating cooperation among developers, federations, national institutions, and local clubs. » 👩✈️👨✈️ Join us! 🤲 Pilots, engage with your local flying clubs to discuss installing an openair ground station. Your contribution is crucial in creating a safer sky together. #safesky #AEROnetwork #airsafety #innovation #avionix #ogn

First electric plane to cross an international border Alia-250 made aviation history by becoming the first all-electric aircraft to successfully cross an international border. This groundbreaking flight took us from Plattsburgh, New York, to Trudeau Airport in Montreal, Quebec, covering just over 105 kilometers in approximately 31 minutes. Alia, is an electric conventional takeoff and landing (eCTOL) aircraft from Beta Technologies, some features are: -       400 kilometers range -       120 kilometers per hour of cruising speed -       15 m wingspan  approximately -       10 times quieter than traditional fuel-burning planes -       Configured to carry passengers or cargo Excitingly, they are on course for FAA certification in 2025, while BETA's ALIA VTOL model is aiming for certification by 2026. The future of aviation is drawing ever closer, and it's looking cleaner, quieter, and more sustainable than ever before!"   👉 click "Follow" Joselito Henriques for Innovation, technologia Florian Palatini Sasa Spasic Dipl.-Ing.

Yet another #tech billionaire is taking to the skies — although this one isn't planning on venturing beyond the Earth's atmosphere. Federal Aviation Administration #FAA has officially cleared #Google cofounder #SergeyBrin's roughly 400-foot #airship, the #Pathfinder1, for #takeoff. And if you happen to be in #SanFrancisco, the structure is allowed to #flyover the south side of the San Fransisco Bay, where it won't interfere with any planes "flying into or out of San Jose and San Francisco International commercial airports."
