South Korea’s Defence Acquisition Program Administration (DAPA) will introduce hydrogen powered drones to its military pilot operations from November with a new deal with Doosan. Continue reading
The tests were organised to demonstrate the industrial and operational feasibility of this hydrogen drone, which offers enhanced performance characteristics while protecting the environment. Continue reading
Propulsion systems in unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) must function reliably. Since the engines are the primary mission-critical component of a UAV, it is important to prove their reliability. This is increasingly demanded by the industry from engine manufacturers. Sky Power GmbH therefore tested its SP-55 TS carburetor engine to demonstrate its endurance and reliability using a high stress running profile per FAR33. Continue reading
Jetoptera was recently awarded two 2021 Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) contracts from the USAF to further characterize the noise of its patented Fluidic Propulsive System (FPS) in an anechoic chamber wind tunnel and to prove that the FPS used with an Upper Surface Blown Wing (USB) configuration will produce specific lift force levels similar to those of a rotor-wing aircraft, yet without moving parts.

Skycharge (formerly Skysense) has announced the launch of its first industrialized drone charging port for commercial drones SKYPORT DP5. Continue reading
The hydrogen market is always associated with fuel cells and vehicles, but this is actually a tiny portion of the overall hydrogen market. In fact, to use hydrogen in fuel cells and industrial applications, it is necessary to produce hydrogen cost-effectively. Continue reading
Airbus has launched “Advanced Superconducting and Cryogenic Experimental powertraiN Demonstrator” (ASCEND) to explore the impact of superconducting materials and cryogenic temperatures on the performance of an aircraft’s electrical propulsion systems. Continue reading
