The service is also profoundly more sustainable than internal combustion engine transportation, with the electric drones producing zero operating emissions.

SkyDrive is developing a three-seater electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft called SKYDRIVE.

The collaboration entails a grant, aimed at fostering the research and development of state-of-the-art drone solutions.

Plettenberg has modified the motor unit to provide the system redundancy required for continued safe flight of the aircraft.

This is seen as a further step to enable research with tilt-wing aircraft in strategically interesting use-cases.

This is the third prototype from Dufour Aerospace that demonstrates the aerodynamic qualities of Dufour’s innovative tilt-wing design.

The U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) plans to install its first electric aircraft charging station at the Eglin Air Force Base in Florida this fall, and is turning to Vermont-based eVTOL developer Beta Technologies for the infrastructure.

Bell said its high-speed vertical takeoff and landing (HSVTOL) technology blends the hover capability of a helicopter with the speed, range and survivability of jet aircraft.

Safran Electrical & Power and Cuberg will combine their complementary technologies and expertise to create high performance propulsive energy storage systems available for future generations of aircraft.

The Australian Government is looking for stakeholder input on its newly released Aviation Green Paper, which will help set the country’s policy direction for the aviation sector through to 2050.
