Manufacturer aims to become first eVTOL LSA under revised FAA regulations. From a distance, the AIR One prototype looks like an only slightly unconventional electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) design, with thin, standalone wings, a twin tail, and a pair of motor-powered propellers fixed to four corners of the fuselage – yet another contender

A trend towards higher-aspect-ratio wings could see future applications similar to that on Boeing 777X, believes aerospace supplier. Liebherr sees further potential applications for its folding wingtip actuation technology pioneered on the Boeing 777X because the next generation of airliners are likely to have higher-aspect-ratio wings.

Will the first rockets to take off from a remote site in Shetland help the UK realise its goal of being a major spacefaring nation?

Europe’s commercial aerospace sector remains resilient despite a challenging operating environment. Passenger demand continues to grow, aircraft are flying more often, and operators are working hard to maximise the value of existing fleets. At the same time, supply chain challenges and economic uncertainty continue to shape planning decisions across the industry. These dynamics are changing…
