Airborne-NextGen 10.01.24: Electra Demo, Drone Saves Child, Falcon 9 Grounded

Also: Nebula-1... Boom!, Sustainable Aviation Caucus, FlytBase-gNext, ForeFlight Update

Electra recently showed off its Ultra Short demonstrator in front of prospective U.S. military buyers. 

The flights focused on the aircraft’s dual-use potential for logistics operations in challenging environments, particularly where traditional airstrips may be unavailable or compromised. Webster Parish Sheriff’s Office reported a ten-year-old girl, Peyton Saintignan, missing late on September 22. After a several-hour search including hundreds of volunteers and law enforcement agencies, a thermal sensing-equipped drone was able to save the day. SpaceX has been forced to ground its Falcon rocket fleet for the third time in three months after experiencing a second-stage firing issue. The company will need to quickly resolve this problem in preparation for two exploration missions slated to launch in early October. SpaceX commented that the discrepancy occurred just 30 minutes after releasing NASA’s Crew 9 mission into orbit. All this -- and MORE in today's episode of Airborne-NextGen!!!
