With the move towards electric aviation comes new opportunities to explore what a powertrain looks like, and Airbus is experimenting with a new design that builds entire hydrogen propulsion units, tanks and all, into detachable pods along the wings.Con… Continue reading Airbus proposes detachable hydrogen propulsion pods for aircraft
According to a recent international study, aviation is responsible for 3.5 percent of all human activities that drive climate change. Airbus is looking to a cleaner future for the commercial aircraft industries, where hydrogen powers the (local) zero-e… Continue reading Airbus eyes hydrogen-powered future with commercial aircraft concepts
Virgin Galactic has taken the wraps off a concept for a new commercial jet capable of flying at three times the speed of sound. The delta-wing aircraft has already passed its Mission Concept Review (MCR) and the company has signed a non-binding Memoran… Continue reading Virgin Galactic enlists Rolls-Royce for Mach 3 passenger aircraft concept
The world of aerospace is full of buzzwords and phrases and one that’s been getting a lot of attention in military aircraft circles is made of three words – Sixth Generation Fighters. Rather than an F-35 or a Typhoon with new trim and chrome … Continue reading Sixth-generation fighters and the future of air supremacy
In an effort to spark the imagination of the next generation of aeronautical engineers, Airbus has revealed its new Bird of Prey concept aircraft design. Unveiled at the Royal International Air Tattoo airshow at RAF Fairford, Gloucestershire,… Continue reading Airbus aims to inspire with Bird of Prey concept aircraft
When Gibson introduced the Flying V electric guitar in 1958, it divided opinion. A bold new aviation concept out of TU Delft is sure to do the same. Wearing the same moniker as Gibson’s iconic instrument, the design is aimed at improving airc… Continue reading KLM and TU Delft eye sustainable aviation future with V-shaped flyer
