Leonardo has completed the first phase of flight testing for its upcoming Falco Xplorer drone.
The aircraft now moves on to the second phase of the campaign as part of the company's "Be Tomorrow 2030" plan. The Xplorer will be the largest UAV ever made by Leonardo. The company says it has everything it needs for a successful, combat-ready UAV platform, from sensors and aeronautics to software and control. Advanced Aircraft Company has been selected to develop a tilt-wing prototype UAV for NASA. The "aero-activated", uncrewed aircraft will make considerable use of 3D printed materials and lightweight alloys throughout the development process, from rapid iteration all the way to small scale production. Rajwinder Singh plead guilty to the charge of operating an aircraft without a permit, netting himself a $10,000 CAD fine. His drone operation fell under section 2(3) of the Aircraft Access Regulations of the Canada National Parks Act, which ensures that all parks are ‘no drone zones’. The statute has been gaining more attention this year, particularly after an embarrassing run-in with a
UAV in September that grounded firefighting operations for more than an hour. All this -- and MORE in today's episode of Airborne-NextGen!!!
