This eVTOL plans to Launch Commercial passenger service in 2025 and has just flown its aircraft in New York City, marking its first flight in an urban setting.
U.S. Air Force and Archer will begin training Air Force pilots and personnel on Archer's eVTOL aircraft capabilities through flight simulation before advancing to piloted flight testing with Archer’s Midnight aircraft.
The pilot on board campaign was led by Joby Chief Test Pilot James Denham and was designed to gather data on the aircraft’s handling qualities and pilot control interfaces, supporting the development of the aircraft and laying the groundwork for future credit testing as part of the certification program with the Federal Aviation Administration.
The global pilot shortage promises to be a recurring, spirited topic at next month’s EATS 2023, into next Spring’s WATS 2024 – and beyond. While credible, authoritative forecasts from CAE and other community stakeholders point to the differences between pilot supply and demand curves slowly and incrementally narrowing, there is still much work left to meet the insatiable demand for aircrews around the globe.
The project for the first electric aircraft charging station on a U.S. military instillation has officially broken ground, with a completion date in early October.
In partnership with the U.S. Air Force, NASA will also use the aircraft for research focused on how these aircraft could fit into the national airspace, benefiting the entire air taxi industry.
Bell plans for the test article to execute a series of HSVTOL high-speed transition maneuvers, a first-of-its-kind capability for vertical lift aircraft.
For the past few years, Quantum3D has been actively developing specialized tools aimed at enhancing the Advance Air Mobility eVTOL industry, leveraging its background in simulation and training.
