Making a virtue out of necessity, Airbus is joining forces with Toshiba to develop a super-efficient superconducting motor for aircraft that uses the liquid hydrogen that supplies the electricity to cool the propulsion and adjacent systems.Continue Rea… Continue reading Airbus and Toshiba team up to create superconducting aircraft motor
In an experiment that sounds about as safe as bobbing for fries, ESA carried out the first-ever 3D metal printing in space aboard the International Space Station (ISS). Built with Airbus, the Metal 3D Printer completed the first of four test shapes.Con… Continue reading First-ever 3D metal printing in space achieved on ISS
Conventional helicopters have a built-in speed limit, imposed by the physical limitations of their top-rotor lift systems. This fascinating Airbus project has found a way to break through that speed limit, and it’s already done it in flight testing.Con… Continue reading High-speed helicopter breaks through single top rotor speed record
Bringing some flash to military aviation, Airbus is showing off its Wingman drone concept this week at the International Aerospace Exhibition (ILA) in Berlin. The 1:1 scale mock-up is the aerospace equivalent of a “show car” for highlighting ideas.Cont… Continue reading Airbus Wingman concept gives stealthy look at aerial combat future
Airbus Helicopters has flown its high-speed concept copter, which dashes 50% faster than other commercial copters, for the first time. The 249-mph (216-kt, 400-km/h) Racer demonstrator is not only fast, but consumes up to 25% less fuel.Continue Reading… Continue reading Airbus Helicopters’ super-fast, efficient Racer makes maiden flight
