To make experimentation even easier, [Stephen Carlson] and other researchers from the RoboWork Lab at the University of Nevada created the MiniHawk, a 3D printed VTOL aircraft for use a test bed ...

The concept was proven. But the Air Force, without an operational need for a VTOL aircraft, chose not to pursue further development of the X-13. The two prototypes are still on display today ...

The AV-8B V/STOL strike aircraft was designed to replace the AV-8A and the A-4M light attack aircraft. The Marine Corps requirement for a V/STOL light attack force has been well documented since ...

The firm has compared the emissions of its planned hypersonic aircraft for cargo delivery with a Boeing 747 cargo jet.

Vertiia is gearing up to become the first long-range hydrogen-powered VTOL (vertical takeoff and ... to find the best solution for the Vertiia aircraft. Its heat exchangers have thin walls ...

[Peter Ryseck]’s Mini QBIT quadrotor biplane brings in some of the efficiency of fixed-wing flight, without all the complexity usually associated with VTOL aircraft. The Mini QBIT is just a 3 ...

That's where disruption happens' The first VTOL aircraft designs were early helicopters. Then came designs like lift jets, tail-sitter aircraft, and tilt rotors. PteroDynamics has now patented a ...

The proposed Sirius Jet marks a major aviation world first. A vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aircraft pitched at the business community, the Sirius Business Jet features a pioneering ...

The firm adds that the rotor blown wing design is one of a future family of systems it is developing, all of which would include winged VTOL UAS and single main rotor aircraft, governed by ...

The project aims to transform urban and regional air mobility by integrating green hydrogen-powered VTOL aircraft, enhancing speed, reducing noise, and improving efficiency, while substantially ...
