Lockheed Martin's famous-yet-secret Skunk Works is conducting live flight tests of its Smart Adaptive Flight Control Environment (SAFE) autonomous AI system on the X-62A. The system can be ...
Modern aerospace engineering increasingly relies on the seamless integration of advanced performance modelling with state‐of‐the‐art flight control systems. These systems optimise aerodynamic ...
DARPA has awarded a contract to Aurora Flight Sciences to build a full-scale aircraft called the X-65. It will test a new technology that replaces moving control surfaces with Active Flow Control (AFC ...
NASA and partner Lockheed Martin are evaluating a newly discovered flight-control problem with the agency’s X-59 supersonic demonstrator jet, and have moved the aircraft back inside for evaluation.
In an aviation milestone, Piasecki Aircraft Corporation (PiAC) successfully conducted the first flight of its innovative proof of concept tilt-duct Aerial Reconfigurable Embedded System Demonstration ...
Quieter flights, reduced energy costs, and no carbon footprint. These are the goals of the Aircraft Electrification group at BAE Systems, a leading aerospace technology company that is hard at work ...
Electric actuators replace hydraulics in full-flight simulators while still maintaining that aircraft “feel.” • Full-flight simulators (FFS) replicate the real “feel” of the simulated aircraft. • A 12 ...
