In a spectacular display of technological prowess, Autoflight, a joint venture between German and Chinese talents, recently showcased the advanced capabilities of their newest Prosperity aircraft. This cutting-edge eVTOL (electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing – a type of aircraft that can take off, hover and land vertically) astonishingly covered a distance of 250 kilometres within a span of 98 minutes, solely powered by its onboard battery.
The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has been working diligently for years on the development of the country’s first reusable space shuttle, with an ambitious launch goal set within this decade. The Reusable Launch Vehicle-Technology Demonstrator (RLV-TD) serves as a scaled-down prototype designed to facilitate the development and testing of this groundbreaking technology.
