Sealand Aviation anticipates the first flight of their modified DHC-2 Beaver shortly.
One of their De Havilland Beavers has been outfitted with the RED A03 engine developed by RED Aircraft in Germany. The RED A03 is now undergoing checks and calibration and has already been fixed to the airframe. The next steps include the aircraft undergoing further maintenance such as custom-made cowling and the installation of the Full Authority Digital Engine Control. Autel Robotics announced their newest evolution in the Evo Drone series with the Evo Lite and Evo Nano. The carbon-legged Evo Lite weighs 1.8 pounds and offers a 1” CMOS sensor and 4-axis gimbal for its improved camera. The packable Evo Nano weighs an even lighter 0.55 lbs (249g) yet brings a 1/2” CMOS sensor capable of 48mp photos. Both models leverage Autel’s suite of apps and hardware for content creation, sharing, and direction on the fly. According to the Mars helicopter blog, Ingenuity flight 14 is postponed… Engineers want more time to address small issues in the aircraft as it sits more than 212
million nautical miles away. Serving beyond its initial assignment, the probe must compensate for seasonal decreases in atmospheric density by boosting output. A series of ground and vibration tests have been optimistic in addressing the changes, but an anomaly in two of the flight-control servo-motors prevented a brief Sept. 18 test flight. All this -- and MORE in today's episode of Airborne!!!
