Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “10 MOST INNOVATIVE AIRCRAFT AND FUTURE FLYING MACHINES IN DEVELOPMENT 2021″.
When Astronauts Doug, Hurly and Bob Behnken took off from Cape Canaveral on May 30 2020, it marked the first launch of humans into space from US soil in nine years.. The Crew Dragon Demo-2 mission, as it was called debuted the Crew Dragon SpaceX’s 21st-century spaceflight system.. The Dragon can carry up to 7 passengers to and from Earth’s orbit and beyond.. It is the only spacecraft currently flying capable of returning significant amounts of cargo back to Earth.. Spacex has confirmed that this spacecraft will be used for commercial space travel in the future.. The SpaceX craft will soon be taking private passengers to Earth’s orbit. The International Space Station or beyond.
Onboard the spacecraft has extensive touch screens and the ability to reach the ISS with no input from its pilots.. You might want to start saving if you ever want a ride on the Dragon as a ticket on commercial space flights will be upwards of six figures.. The Bell 429 EDAT from Bell Textron Inc is the first of its kind in the rotorcraft industry.. It challenges the norms for aircraft, noise, output, electrical distribution and safety and was recently recognized by Popular Science as the winner of its “ Best of What’s New Award” in the Aerospace category for 2020.. So, what’s all the fuss about The EDAT system uses revolutionary new electrical systems to drive the rotors.? An electrical system does most of the heavy lifting and generators attached to the main rotor’s gearbox produce power that runs to four fans in the tail.. The result is a helicopter that is quieter and safer than all previous models. When parked on the ground. The helicopter’s main rotor can spin.. At the same time, the tail fans are switched off, making it safer for ground personnel.. The eGyro by Skyworks Aeronautics, seeks to revolutionize helicopters standing at the forefront of gyronautic technology. Skyworks’ goal in designing the eGyro is to create a safer, more cost-efficient design for a helicopter.. The eGyro is a concept all-electric autogyro aircraft first planned in early 2018.
At its core. It’S an electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft using batteries for a power source and two electric motors.. The auto-rotating rotor eliminates heavy expensive, complicated helicopter parts such as the transmission and rotor blade linkages.. The most innovative safety feature is its improved collective pitch control, making it easier for pilots to control the helicopter in an emergency.. The eGyro is set to release sometime in 2021. So we will have to see if it truly is the future of helicopter flight.
Hi, I’m Allie and it’s Mind’s Eye Trivia Time By looking at just these images.. Do you know what this is and where it’s from Leave your answer or your best guess in the comment section below., It’s a bird, it’s a plane! No, it’s the Loyal Wingman by Boeing and the aircraft. Titans have a truly innovative design in the works.. This 38-foot aircraft looks like a fighter jet and is designed to fly like one, but there is no place for a pilot to sit..
The unmanned vessel is meant to act as a robotic team member flying alongside or ahead of traditional aircraft., With a little help from our good friend, Artificial Intelligence. These planes could see extensive use by military forces worldwide.. The advantage behind these flying bots is that they could help by venturing into dangerous territory or providing an armed and watching escort for high-value flying assets.. Speaking of armaments, custom payloads can be easily swapped out through the removable nose. Demand for Boeing’s Loyal Wingman Drones is high with many countries putting in advance orders.
Zephyr 8 by Airbus is another innovative design by a giant in the aerospace industry.. When you think Airbus, you generally think passengers well, not in the Zephyr 8, which is the world’s largest all-solar-electric stratospheric UAV., Weighing less than 165 pounds. This craft is as agile as it is efficient..
It has already taken to the stratosphere and broken multiple world records, displaying its capabilities as an incredibly useful and efficient aircraft.. It’S capable of flying continuously for months at a time at around 70,000ft above weather and conventional air traffic recharging its batteries through the many attached solar panels.. The Zephyr can also support a wide range of payloads, including, but not limited to Electro-Optical Infrared and Radar. Equipment.
