Program Allowed The Students To Do Real-World Development Work On An Actual NASA Project

Interns from three NASA centers spent their summer competing to develop a laptop flight simulator of the X-59 Quiet SuperSonic Technology or “QueSST” aircraft. The competition came with an added challenge: it had to be completed within 10 weeks.

Secret Nuclear Mission Training Recorded For History

For the first time in modern history, in-flight videos of secret nuclear mission training have been recently filmed in the B-52H “Stratofortress” bomber cockpit while in-flight. The new videos, in addition to a post-flight interview with Bolton, are available for viewing at JeffBolton.org. Bolton also recently filmed aboard the B-2A stealth bomber for the first time in history.

Updates On Electric Aircraft And eVTOL Programs

Pipistrel has had a great year in terms of new airplane orders and in the flight training arena. That was the message expressed by Michael Coates, Master Distributor for Pipistrel USA, when he spoke with Aero-New Editor-in-Chief Jim Campbell at AirVenture 2019. When it comes to the electric airplane segment, Coates says the U.S. is "dragging its feet a little bit" in certification of such aircraft. Such aircraft have been accepted and are flying in other countries, and Coates feels they would be ideal for the U.S. Flight Training market.

Agency Engineers To Begin Ground, Taxi And Eventually Flight Testing

The first all-electric configuration of NASA’s X-57 Maxwell now is at the agency’s Armstrong Flight Research Center in Edwards, CA. The X-57, NASA’s first all-electric experimental aircraft, or X-plane – and the first crewed X-plane in two decades – was delivered by Empirical Systems Aerospace (ESAero) of San Luis Obispo, California on Wednesday, Oct. 2, in the first of three configurations as an all-electric aircraft, known as Modification II, or Mod II.

It's a tragedy that has stunned the historic aircraft community, if not all of the aviation world. Seven people were fatally injured when a Collings Foundation B-17 went down Wednesday at Bradley International Airport (KDBL) in CT. The plane went down while trying to make an emergency landing shortly after the plane took off just before 10 a.m. It impacted a building which contained several tanks of deicing fluid. The aircraft was largely consumed by fire. Seven others sustained injuries ranging from mi

Aero Linx: The Luscombe Endowment The Luscombe Endowment is here to support public inquiry into things related to the Luscombe aircraft; Aircraft operation, Aircraft maintenance, and the history of the Luscombe Aircraft Company(s). You will find a large archive of technical resources, links to our affiliates, and links to historical events as well as items of curiosity or inquiry that have been brought to our attention. Our Mission: To foster the preservation and education of the public about things related to Luscombe Aircraft, and Don Luscombe's aviation contributions. The Luscombe Endowment was created in 2000, by the Luscombe Foundation to assist in support of the Luscombe fleet.

"The X-57 Mod II aircraft delivery to NASA is a significant event, marking the beginning of a new phase in this exciting electric X-plane project. With the aircraft in our possession, the X-57 team will soon conduct extensive ground testing of the integrated electric propulsion system to ensure the aircraft is airworthy. We plan to rapidly share valuable lessons learned along the way as we progress toward flight testing, helping to inform the growing electric aircraft market.” Source: X-57 Project Manager Tom Rigney, discussing the first all-electric configuration of NASA’s X-57 Maxwell, which is now is at the agency’s Armstrong Flight Research Center in Edwards, California.
