Archer Aviation and Soracle Corporation are working together to bring electric air mobility to Japan.
Their new agreement includes up to 100 new aircraft, totaling around $500 million. This aims to help alleviate congestion and improve transportation in Japanese cities where ground travel is limited by traffic or terrain. General Atomics has completed a successful demonstration of its MQ-20 Avenger UAS to perform commanded autonomous maneuvers in a demonstration with the U.S. Navy (USN). The Navy used its MD-5 Ground Control Station (GCS) along with Lockheed Martin’s MDCX autonomy platform to command and control the jet-powered aircraft. Despite the usual delays associated in dealing with the FAA and other impediments such as the ECO-lobby, SpaceX is ready to take its next step on the way to Mars. The sixth flight test of Starship is targeted to launch as early as Monday, November 18 -- less than a week from now. All this -- and MORE in today's episode of Airborne-NextGen!!!
