Airborne 11.18.24: Stratolaunch Roc, Heuer Aerobatic Meet, Alia CX300 Flies

Also: Aspen/Pitkin Airport, McFarlane Aviation, NBAA Fires Back, AST Taps New Glenn

Stratolaunch successfully completed the 20th test flight of its Roc launch platform. 

The manufacturer will now be increasing test frequency prepping for its recoverable Talon-A2 testbed. The latest test flight included a mid-flight landing, allowing Stratolaunch to switch out its crew before getting back in the air. The second flight crew was able to finalize certification on the aircraft during the flight. Having two certified crews expands Stratolaunch’s ability to conduct more frequent tests. Mike Heuer, son of legendary aerobatic aviator Robert Heuer, recently announced that the Robert L. Heuer Aerobatic Contest is being brought back to life. It will be hosted by former IAC Vice President Doug Bartlett in Platteville, Wisconsin just before the 2025 EAA Oshkosh AirVenture. Beta Technologies recently sent the first production-representative Alia CX300 up for its debut flight. The electric conventional takeoff and landing (eCTOL) aircraft is the first to come off the manufacturer’s new production line in South Burlington, Vermont. All this -- and MORE in today's episode of Airborne-Unlimited!!!
