The Lightning Program is Doin' Just Great, As Per Usual

A 2020 flight restriction on the F-35A will reportedly not be rescinded any time soon, preventing the Lightning fighter from operating within 25 miles of lightning storms. The issue stems from a problem with damaged tubing inside the keystone of the fighter's lightning protection system. The Onboard Inert Gas Generation System (OBIGGS) was expected to be fixed some time last summer according to the F-35 Joint Program Office, but now a finalized solution to the problem isn't ready in the foreseeable future. The JPO has assessed the hardware and software upgrades, but according to Chief Petty Officer Matthew Olay, the restrictions will remain in place.

Self-Contained Hydrogen Engine Nacelle May Be Offered as UAV Aftermarket Modification

H3 Dynamics' twin-engine hydrogen UAV demonstrator completed its first successful test flight over a Paris airfield. The flight was a capstone of sorts, for a program that first completed a working propulsion nacelle prototype a year prior. By July, H3 Dynamics had been able to test their first distributed pod system on a scale aircraft at the Hub Drones - Systematic airfield near Paris, France. That proved the basic functionality of their hydrogen-powered system, allowing them to begin scaling up their designs. The most recent test evaluated the performance of a twin-engine, hydrogen powered, propeller-driven propulsion aircraft on the way towards larger, more c

The Complete Remote Pilot Rounds all the Bases for the RPC

ASA's newest addition to their company library, the The Complete Remote Pilot, allows intro students to go from zero to hero in operating commercial drones. The rapid pace of development of small commercial drones has brought out a new niche for enterprising operators, in everything from building inspection to low-cost aerial photography. As the industry grew, and small aircraft proliferated, regulations expanded too, providing plenty of study fodder for any would-be remote pilot.
