This article is fantastic - but what really stands out are the unresolved issues of categorization. As full authority fly-by-wire becomes ever more common, and alternative flight control schemes are introduced to enhance safety of flight, it’s my belief that we need to move beyond the external characteristics of an aircraft, and think about categories aligned with human-machine interface similarities. Performance based airworthiness rules like Part 23, SC-VTOL, and AC 21.17-4 have proven themselves to be flexible enough to support almost all small aircraft - perhaps there is room for consolidation here, as well - supported by differentiated means of compliance. Some quotes to consider: “It looks a bit like what would happen if a regular helicopter and an airplane merged into a single aircraft” “At 220 knots, half of the lift comes from the rotor, and half from the wing,” “When it’s cruising forward in a specific speed range—between 180 and 190 knots—the pilots can shut off one of the engines, saving fuel.” Regulation (EU) No 1178/2011: “rotorcraft” means a power-driven, heavier-than-air aircraft that depends principally for its support in flight on the lift generated by up to two rotors; (8b) “vertical take-off and landing (VTOL)-capable aircraft (VCA)” means a power-driven, heavier-than-air aircraft, other than aeroplane or rotorcraft, capable of performing vertical take-off and landing by means of lift and thrust units used to provide lift during take-off and landing;’; 14 CFR 1.1: Airplane means an engine-driven fixed-wing aircraft heavier than air, that is supported in flight by the dynamic reaction of the air against its wings. Helicopter means a rotorcraft that, for its horizontal motion, depends principally on its engine-driven rotors Rotorcraft means a heavier-than-air aircraft that depends principally for its support in flight on the lift generated by one or more rotors. Powered-lift means a heavier-than-air aircraft capable of vertical takeoff, vertical landing, and low speed flight that depends principally on engine-driven lift devices or engine thrust for lift during these flight regimes and on nonrotating airfoil(s) for lift during horizontal flight.

🚁 Important milestone for the European Clean Sky 2 funding initiative: the Airbus Helicopters' Racer prototype has achieved its inaugural flight at speeds of 400 km/h. This project is a collaborative effort involving 40 partners from 13 European countries. This success highlights the importance of the European Union's support for research and innovation, enabling significant advances in aeronautical technologies while promoting more sustainable aviation. The Racer, which consumes 20% less fuel compared to current models, exemplifies Europe's commitment to eco-friendly innovation. In addition to missions where every minute counts - emergency medical services, search and rescue, commercial or private aviation - the Racer could also be adapted for military use.

Did you know? 🤔 The B-29 Superfortress, a WWII strategic bomber, had a fascinating nose gear design! Unlike most aircraft, its nose gear didn't retract directly into the nose. Instead, it cleverly extended from a compartment within the wheel well. 🛩️ As a pilot, I'm always amazed by the ingenuity of aircraft designers, especially those from the past. This unique feature likely contributed to the B-29's impressive performance and capabilities during the war. What's your favorite unconventional aircraft design?

European aircraft manufacturer Airbus announced Wednesday that it will lay off more than 2,000 employees in its second-largest division, the defense and space sector, due to intense competition from the United States in the satellite business. https://lnkd.in/gyvZfDeC

When I read the news few days ago that Airbus C295 has achieved a remarkable 300 orders, it was heartwarming. Not just for the milestone achievement, this remarkable figure also celebrates the success of the Spanish and European aerospace industry as a whole. The C295 is designed and assembled in my home country Spain, its versatility, cost-effectiveness, and unparalleled reliability has undoubtedly catapulted its global success story.  With 41 operators from 37 countries, the C295 is the indisputable leader across Europe, the Americas, Africa, and Asia. Among them, India stands as the largest customer, ordering 56 aircrafts. The best part? 19 of these operators have placed repeat orders, which demonstrates the aircraft's exceptional performance and reliability. C295 is the outcome of Construcciones Aeronáuticas (C.A.S.A.)’s vision, when they decided to develop a slightly larger aircraft with 50 percent more capabilities. The Spanish Air and Space Force were its maiden customer in 1997. Since then, it has continued to fly high, reshaping the aviation landscape. Indeed, C295 is a symbol of perseverance and excellence. A symbol of our Industry. This week celebrating the Aerospace & Defense Meetings (ADM) congress in Sevilla. Cheers to @Airbus C295 and the countless adventures that lie ahead! #Airbus #Aviation
