As a native of the Triad (GSO), it has been interesting following the development of the Boom Supersonic Aircraft. The aerospace technologies that make these aircraft possible will have an impact on the Triads manufacturing ablilities beyond that of the Boom Supersonic Aircrafts. The necessity for bringing highly capable Engineers, Mechanics and Technologist to build and support these advanced airplanes, promises local human resources that can elevate the capabilities of this community at large. That being said, there are several Aircraft programs that would have a far greater immediate impact to our communities regional lift needs. The passenger lift needs of our market dynamics are similar to many like size markets. The Future now, Deutsche Aircraft D328eco. A low risk value proposition as compared to Boom Supersonic. This is the Nexgen DC3, the Aircraft the made Piedmont Airlines possible and began the dawn of passenger airlines as we know today. https://lnkd.in/eUPV_8_F

The impact of the latest Pratt & Whitney PW1100G engine issue - relating to its high-pressure turbine and compressor discs - is beginning to show up in Asia-Pacific, with Air New Zealand today warning of "significant" schedule changes to come. Other carriers I reached out to, like All Nippon Airways and IndiGo (InterGlobe Aviation Ltd), say they are assessing any potential impact on fleet - and to a large extent, network - in the coming weeks. Singapore's Scoot, meanwhile, says at least four engines in their fleet are affected by the issue, warning that it "may need to adjust some of our flights" to account for additional inspections in the coming weeks.

EUROCONTROL's recent paper(https://shorturl.at/jlBY8) sheds light on the feasibility of all-electric flights. While aircraft with hybrid-electric propulsion like the AURA-AERO Integral and ERA , hold promise for pilot training, general and regional aviation, the rest remains pure fantasy. The paper also suggests that prospects for LH2 may be overrated as well. #aviationindustry #aviation #sustainability

𝗜𝘀 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗗𝗮𝘄𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗛𝘆𝗱𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗲𝗻-𝗣𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗔𝗶𝗿 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝘃𝗲𝗹? Australia is on the brink of an aviation revolution! In 2024, get ready for the country's first hydrogen-powered aircraft flight, a collaboration between iMOVE CRC, Stralis Aircraft (YC W23), and QUT. Their vision? To transform the skies with cleaner, more efficient air travel. Stralis Aircraft is leading the charge, retrofitting a Beechcraft Bonanza A36 with a hydrogen-electric propulsion system. With the expertise of Stralis CEO Bob Criner and the research prowess of QUT, this project is a stepping stone to a greener aviation industry. As we approach this landmark event, consider the impact: How will hydrogen-powered planes change our travel experiences and industries? #BreseightAustralia #Aviation #Engineering

It is clear that, however much we may regret it, the energy density of chemical fuels and internal combustion engines is unbeatable. In the medium term, electric aviation is unviable, with hydrogen - and its combustion - being the only clean energy source available to us.

The Global 8000 aircraft is the fastest business jet ever conceived. With a top speed of Mach 0.94—and the first ever transcontinental ultra-high speed cruise of Mach 0.92—you can now fly faster, providing you with more of the one thing that is always in short supply, time https://lnkd.in/gnNn3TMV

“We are building a new aircraft for critical cargo transport. A VTOL aircraft, a tilt-wing that can carry 40 kilos of payload over 400 kilometres.” At the recent Aerial Cities 2023, Eszter Kovács, CEO of DroneTalks, interviewed Jasmine Kent, CTO and Co-Founder of Dufour Aerospace , to understand more about their new aircraft, Aero2 and Aero3. Dufour Aerospace's new VTOL aircraft focus on the tilt-wing principle, enabling them to take off and land in small spaces, but fly with the speed and efficiency of an airplane, making the aircraft ideal for critical cargo transport, patient transportation and emergency intervention. Jasmine also explained to us the strategic advantages of operating in Switzerland, and the Swiss quality of products. Also, with such a high quality of life, the company believes Switzerland is the ideal location to attract world-class aviation talent, while also allowing the team to strike a work-life balance.

Exploring the future of aviation with our CEO, Eric Bartsch. Check out this insightful article on hybrid propulsion and its role in advancing air mobility. #aviationinnovation #hybridpropulsion #futureofflight

VTOL aircraft, capable of vertical takeoff and landing without relying on traditional runways, find designated spaces or structures for their operations, as defined by "EASA Europa." These areas serve the specific purpose of facilitating the efficient landing and takeoff procedures of VTOL aircraft. Referred to as vertiports, these specialized facilities are essentially airports adapted for aircraft with vertical capabilities, according to the definition provided by "Collins Dictionary." "NUAIR" further elaborates on a vertiport, describing it as a clearly identified ground or elevated location, complete with associated buildings, dedicated to supporting the operations of VTOL aircraft and rotorcraft. In essence, vertiports play a pivotal role in advancing urban air mobility, emergency services, and cargo transport by providing tailored infrastructure for these unique aircraft. #Aviation #Aviation #Avgeek #aviationphotography #aviationdaily #instagramAviation #planes #Boeing #pilot #pilotlife #life #know #reels #reelsinstagram #reelkarofeelkaro #reelitfeelit #pilotstuff

Thanks to Garrett Reim at Aviation Week Network for covering the future of hybrid electric flight after the Vertical Flight Society conference earlier this month. In the automotive industry, hybrids were often the stepping stone to batteries. In aviation, batteries are the stepping stone to hybrids (powered by SAF). ""It is important to note that the battery electric aircraft we are seeing now in 2024 aren't the equivalent of a Tesla; they are the equivalent of a General Motors EV-1 [electric vehicle] from 1996," says Eric Bartsch, CEO of VerdeGo Aero, a company developing piston and turbine-powered hybrid electric systems for aircraft. In contrast to ground transportation, the electric revolution in the sky has less to do with batteries and more to do with electric motors, he says...." ""Allowing new liquid fuels, such as sustainable aviation fuel, and batteries to both play a role in powering electric motors, results in a vastly more capable aircraft than we can get on batteries alone," Bartsch says. "Hybrid aviation is definitely far more than a stepping stone for electric flight; it may be the endpoint of electric flight, and it is certainly the primary power source for electric flight in the coming decades.""
