The Japan Times YouTube Channel Airport employees wore three kilogram robotic suits around their waists to help with lifting heavy objects. The suits worked by sending bioelectric signals from the brain to the muscles, prompting the machine to support the weight being lifted and reducing back stress.

The high-speed vertical lift X-plane concept developed by Aurora Flight Sciences has reached the preliminary design phase. This progress comes after completing a conceptual design review for the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) program, Speed and Runway Independent Technologies (SPRINT).

Gyroplanes are capable of taking off and landing vertically by having lift provided by an unpowered top rotor in an autorotation motion, but they fly horizontally when cruising, just like a conventional aircraft. ARC Aerosystems is not the only company exploring new opportunities for gyroplane technology.

The bill also contains a mandate for the FAA to publish a final special rule for operations of powered-lift aircraft—a new category that includes eVTOL air taxis—within seven months of passage. Drone and AAM industry stakeholders have plenty of reasons to be excited.

Adjusting the variable sweep wing allowed pilots to maximize lift during takeoff and landing on aircraft carriers and achieve high-speed performance during combat engagements. This versatility was crucial for adapting to the dynamic demands of naval aviation, ensuring that the F-14 remained a dominant force in aerial combat.

Storo lifted the British fighter into the air for the first time on June 28, 2022, from Tillamook Municipal Airport near his home. At that point, you’re simply looking down the runway, and then it lifts off. Storo’s replica wears the colors of Royal Air Force (RAF) No. 19 Squadron. “The first flight was kind of interesting.
