Airborne 06.09.23: Citation Eco-Vandalized, CubCrafters ELAS, Next FAA Boss

Also: 17th Annual VFS Electric Aircraft Symposium, New C-152 Engine Baffle System, NBAA Webinar

On 06 June 2023, protesters ostensibly connected to Last Generation—a group of climate-change activists indigenous, primarily, to Germany and Italy — egregiously vandalized a Cessna 525 CitationJet 1+ parked on Germany’s Sylt Airport (GWT). 

The aircraft is reportedly owned by a German real estate entrepreneur. CubCrafters is testing an intriguing new concept, called Electric Lift Augmenting Slats [ELAS], conceived to dramatically increase wing lift. Recognizing the potentially broad application for this new ELAS technology, NASA awarded CubCrafters two research grants (through the SBIR/STTR program) to partially fund the project. Washington, D.C. gossip has swirled as of late, with reports that acting FAA administrator Billy Nolen will be replaced by Deputy US Transportation Secretary Polly Trottenberg -- but again, in an acting capacity. All this -- and MORE in today's episode of Airborne-Unlimited!!!

Airborne 06.09.23 is chock full of info in this Daily News Episode, Friday, June 9th, 2023... Presented by Aero-TV veteran videographer and Airborne Host Holland Lee.
