Volocopter has resumed work towards the certification of its VoloCity eVTOL, this time under the guiding hand of Diamond Aircraft.
The manufacturer filed for insolvency late last year before being saved in a $11 million deal this March. Volocopter had big plans: high-profile air show appearances, flashy partnerships with Honeywell and Mercedes-Benz, and a demo flight debut planned for the 2024 Paris Olympics... Swiss electric aircraft developer H55 completed over 50 demo flights in the Palo Alto stop of its Across America tour. The Bristell B23 Energic aircraft demonstrated the reliability of its electric propulsion system and the company said total purchase commitments garnered during the tour now account for the first two years of production. Searching through the debris of an assault on Ukraine led drone hunters to a startling discovery: Russia may be using sophisticated Iranian technology in its attacks. The recent strikes on Iranian infrastructure, however, may hinder the country from selling weapons to Russia. The recently downed drone, reportedly different in appearance and construction from standard Russian designs,
featured white external panels and component labels consistent with Iranian manufacturing standards. All this -- and MORE in today's episode of Airborne-NextGen!!!
