Lillium has officially begun its efforts to test and evaluate their electric VTOL Phoenix 2 aircraft.
The manufacturer will extend the flight envelope through a series of flights to evaluate the prototype's behavior in transition from vertical takeoff and hover to horizontal flight. The regime has been put into motion with Atlas Flight Test Center staff, taking advantage of its facilities and expertise. Aerojet Rocketdyne has successfully test flown a prototype scramjet engine for the Hypersonic Air-breathing Weapon Concept (HAWC), in a joint program with DARPA, the Air Force Research Lab, and Lockheed Martin. The HAWC program is hoped to develop and demonstrate foundational technologies needed to create an effective and affordable air-launched hypersonic cruise missile system. Autel Robotics has announced the availability of its Dragonfish Lite and Pro UAVs in the United States for the first time. The new products join the vanilla Autel Dragonfish to provide a wider range of pricing and mission profiles for users requiring just a little more performance, more range, or lighter weight. The Dragonfish
is a durable, multirotor drone capable of VTOL flight with more economic fixed-wing capability. All this -- and MORE in today's episode of Airborne-UnCrewed!!!
