27 sie 2024 · Aurora Flight Sciences’ small UAS is powered by a hydrogen fuel cell, extending flight times for long range reconnaissance. Aurora Flight Sciences, a Boeing company, recently completed a successful seven-hour flight test of its fuel-cell-powered small uncrewed aircraft system (sUAS), SKIRON-XLE.
12 lip 2024 · At that time it managed speeds of around 196 mph (170 kt or 315 km/h) at altitudes of 6,000 ft (1,829 m). The Mk-II Aurora suborbital spaceplane has undergone "extensive upgrades and...
20 maj 2024 · The fan-in-wing prototype recently advanced in DARPA’s Speed and Runway Independent Technologies project to develop a new high-speed jet aircraft capable of vertical take-off and landing.
Aurora’s first aircraft, the Perseus POC, took flight in November 1991. The remotely piloted, propeller-powered aircraft was developed specifically to support atmospheric research. The aircraft was designed to validate both the aircraft’s aerodynamic model and flight control systems.
I even saw the Aurora take off one night – or an aircraft that matched the Aurora's reputed configuration: a sharp delta with twin tails about a hundred and thirty feet long. It taxied out of a lighted hangar at 2:30 a.m. and used a lot of runway to take off.
21 maj 2024 · The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency wants its SPRINT vertical takeoff aircraft, dubbed X-plane, to be able to fly at speeds between 400 and 450 knots, far faster than the V-22...
12 lip 2024 · The Mk-II Aurora is a rocket-powered aircraft, designed to be the first vehicle ever to fly to 100 km altitude, the edge of space, twice in a single day. It is rapidly reusable and low cost, making it well suited for a variety of applications in microgravity, high speed flight research, earth observation, as well as other defence and civil uses.
