Unmanned helicopters are no longer a concept in some futuristic Sci-Fi novel. They’re here, revolutionizing the way we conduct dangerous missions, especially those demanding autonomous, discreet, and seafaring operations. Remember the cinematic marvel of witnessing Skyryse, the world’s first fully autonomous helicopter, command the sky in 2019? That glorious image of an unmanned chopper making an extended flight and taking passengers onboard a modified Robinson R-44 marked the dawn of a new age in aviation technology.
The European maker has disclosed who will be supplying the electrical power system and cockpit design for their eVTOL prototype. Eaton and Crouzet were awarded the contracts for these two key parts, which should speed up the development of the CityAirbus NextGen vehicle.
It can’t fight, but it can spy and communicate: this is Airbus’ Zephyr drone, which experts say has capabilities that rival satellites. Airbus’ Zephyr, a solar-powered drone, is flying the nest as the pan-European aerospace company outsources its business to facilitate its commercialisation by bringing in partners, the Financial Times reports.
With companies like Boeing and Airbus investing heavily in the technology, and cities around the world looking for new solutions to reduce congestion and air pollution, the potential for Evtols to revolutionize transportation is clear. But what can we expect from the Evtol market in the coming years ?
Renault Group and Airbus have entered into a partnership to develop technology that will speed up the electrification of both the automotive and aviation industries.
Airbus has revealed a hydrogen-powered engine that could potentially be used in the creation of zero-emission planes with the capacity to carry over 100 passengers after 2035.
