Great pleasure presenting last Thursday on accommodating hydrogen-powered electric VTOL (H2eVTOL) aircraft technologies at vertiports to the @VTOLsociety Arizona Chapter as part of their Tech Talks. This was my last speech of the year... Watch the recording here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4xiaFoQqZHM. 🚁

Earlier this week, members of our #aviation team in Raleigh, NC attended flight demonstrations by Wing #drone delivery. 🚁 Weather was "cloudy with a chance of dessert". 🍨 We got ice cream... literally falling from the sky! 😊 #aam #aerospace #aircraft #engineering #microfreight #verticalflight #vtols
Firefighting #rotorcraft shortfall prompts Bell’s 214ST reboot: https://aviationweek.com/aerospace/aircraft-propulsion/firefighting-rotorcraft-shortfall-prompts-bells-214st-reboot. Aerial #firefighting is an #aerospace niche but it is a critical one. Within that niche, #VTOL aircraft bring unique capabilities. They deliver water and retardant precisely, transport firefighters to remote areas, and perform aerial reconnaissance. VTOLs are essential assets for rapid response and effective wildfire management. 💪🚁 #aircraft #aviation #emergencymanagement #engineering #verticalflight
Enjoying the reading of Helicopter Heroine by Charles Morgan Evans–a biography of French aviator and neurosurgeon MGI Valérie André who passed away last January. Her absolutely epic life deserves the title of this book. 🇫🇷🚁 #aviation #aviationbookclub #helicopters #verticalflight
Spoiler alert... This year's @VTOLsociety History Calendar is all about #innovation! 😊 Beautiful demonstrators and prototypes from different periods of VTOL history. 🚁 #aviation #engineering #STEM #verticalflight
If General de Gaulle was still alive... 😉 #DYK? The eVTOL acronym stands for electric vertical takeoff and landing [#aircraft]. VTOL in French is ADAV for "aéronef à décollage et atterrissage verticaux". Therefore, eVTOL should be ADAVé in French! 🚁 #aviation #verticalflight
Halfway through the excellent Westland #Aircraft & #Rotorcraft by Graham & Smith with a great deal of detail on past projects and top-notch from Yeovil. #ICYMI Westland merged with Agusta in 2000. AgustaWestland then merged into Leonardo in 2016. 🛩️🚁 #avgeeks #aviation #aviationbookclub #aviationhistory #books #engineering #verticalflight #vtols
EASA releases new NORAH2 new rotorcraft noise model. The software was developed as part of a 4-year research project on rotorcraft noise funded by European Union's Horizon 2020: https://buff.ly/4gPdb1L. 🚁 #aerospace #aviation #engineering #mobility #verticalflight #vtols
In the crazy Cold War-era #aircraft concept category, behold the Yakovlev VVP-6! Giant 50m-long, 24-turboshaft-powered #VTOL to provide logistics & SAM platform. Was supposed to be fielded along w/ VTOL fighters. Didn't go beyond conceptual design. 🚁 #defense #verticalflight
#EASA has published its first Easy Access Rules for the small Category VTOL-Capable #Aircraft (VCA): https://easa.europa.eu/en/document-library/easy-access-rules/easy-access-rules-small-category-vca. 🚁
