How far can a flight test program go before risking the life of a human #pilot? #Joby #Aviation is a case study in how #uncrewed testing can support both risk reduction and broader certification goals. Now that the #eVTOL developer is flying crewed transition flights in its S4 air taxi from a hover to wing-borne flight and back again, I spoke with them about the interesting ways in which they used remote piloting to reach this milestone.

#uncrewed
The next flight of #Starliner will likely be #uncrewed so they can test the changes made after the spacecraft’s inaugural venture https://edition.cnn.com/2025/03/18/science/spacex-crew-9-astronauts-space/index.html
#NASA will need to conduct testing to ensure future missions do not suffer the same issues. #Boeing developed a thermal system that engineers are using to test Starliner’s doghouses, which contain its thrusters.

The #eVTOL developer #Overair revealed its first full-scale prototype today: an 8,000-lb, #uncrewed #electric #tiltrotor that it will use for thrustborne #flight testing starting early next year. For The Air Current, I caught up with Overair's CEO and CCO to learn more about the #aircraft and the company's plans: https://theaircurrent.com/aircraft-development/overair-oa1-butterfly-unveil-first-look-evtol/
Last month, Reliable Robotics engineers watched from the ground as their #uncrewed #Cessna Caravan did a lap around the traffic pattern with no one inside — just like sending a student off for their first solo #flight. For The Air Current, I wrote about the milestone in the context of Reliable's broader #autonomy efforts: https://theaircurrent.com/feed/dispatches/reliable-robotics-sends-autopilot-for-first-solo/
