Airborne-Unmanned 05.11.21: FAA UAS Symposium, Starship SN15, Wisk-Blade

Also: Altitude Angel, AMA Meets With OMB, CAP SD Members, UASidekick

The FAA and AUVSI will co-host Episodes III and IV of the virtual FAA Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) Symposium - Remotely Piloted Edition.

The theme for this year's virtual event is "Above and Beyond" and will take place on June 9-10, 2021, and September 14-15, 2021. With hundreds of thousands logging in all over the globe to watch, the 'much upgraded' Starship SN15 aced a test flight that had destroyed four prototypes before it. On Wednesday, May 5, Starship serial number 15 (SN15) successfully completed SpaceX’s fifth high-altitude flight test of a Starship prototype from Starbase in Texas. Similar to previous high-altitude flight tests of Starship, SN15 was powered through ascent by three Raptor engines, each shutting down in sequence prior to the vehicle reaching apogee – approximately 10 km in altitude. Blade Urban Air Mobility and Wisk Aero have entered into an arrangement for Wisk to provide Blade with up to 30 Electric Vertical Aircraft. Following FAA certification, Blade and Wisk intend to deploy the aircraft on short-distance routes between Blade's network of dedicated terminals throughout the U.S., with Wisk aircraft being chartered by Blade at an hourly rate on those routes. Wisk will be compensated based on Blade flight time utilized on the aircraft, which will be owned, operated, and maintained by Wisk for Blade's use. All this -- and MORE in today's episode of Airborne-Unmanned!!!
