EcoPulse, a distributed hybrid-electric propulsion demonstrator aircraft developed in a collaboration among Daher, Safran, and Airbus, has concluded its flight test campaign, yielding important insights to meet the goal of decarbonizing air transport by 2050. 

A Chinese citizen, 39-year-old Yinpiao Zhou, was arrested and charged after flying a drone over Vandenberg Space Force Base and using it to take aerial photos. A month prior, he allegedly made a Google search for “Vandenberg Space Force Base Drone Rules.” Sikorsky announced it has been selected by the U.S. Marine Corps to demonstrate the maturity and capability of the MATRIX flight autonomy system in operationally relevant flights during 2025 using the company’s Optionally Piloted UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter. The flights will inform the Corps’ Aerial Logistics Connector Program how autonomous aircraft can resupply and sustain Marines in a contested battlespace.
