The Vertical Flight Society is on track for the biggest electric aircraft development conference yet, with more than 40 speakers set to present at the 18th Annual Electric Aircraft Symposium (EAS).
It will once again be held in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, with support for remote attendance. AeroVironment pulled off a demonstration of its JUMP 20 uncrewed aircraft system using a heavy fuel engine, expanding the capabilities and interoperability of the platform in the world of military logistics. The firm successfully bore out the utility of the JUMP 20 with the 'heavy fuel' engine, a more omnivorous little mill that allows the aircraft to run on a wider range of fuels. SkyDrive submitted its US type certificate application for the 3-seater eVTOL it's been working on, mirroring its work with Japan's Civil Aviation Bureau in their home market. With their experience working on certification back home, SkyDrive has started off the American type certification process stateside, anticipating completion sometime after its JCAB approval in "2026 or later". All this -- and MORE in today's episode of Airborne-NextGen!!!
