Lockheed Martin's famous-yet-secret Skunk Works is conducting live flight tests of its Smart Adaptive Flight Control Environment (SAFE) autonomous AI system on the X-62A. The system can be ...

Imagine the increased confidence among pilots if airplane controls seamlessly blended their intuition with next-generation technology. BAE Systems is innovating flight critical control systems that ...

A world that brings the future fantasy of the 1960’s animated TV show “The Jetsons” to life where individuals are flying around instead of driving may be many decades away. But a first-of-its-kind ...

DARPA's X-65, that replaces conventional aircraft flight controls with puffs of air, is coming together at Boeing subsidiary Aurora’s Bridgeport, West Virginia facility. The fuselage is taking shape ...

The US Navy (USN) has completed its first test flight using an uncrewed aircraft control station that will be installed on the service’s fleet of aircraft carriers. In a demonstration event on 7 ...

Technology start-up Skyryse is making its NBAA-BACE debut, demonstrating a touchscreen-based flight automation system over a decade in development which it says can make almost any fixed- or ...

Simplifying flight—to make it as easy as getting into a car with automatic transmission—has long eluded the aerospace engineers creating new aircraft. While we’ve relied on flight controls such as ...

In an aviation milestone, Piasecki Aircraft Corporation (PiAC) successfully conducted the first flight of its innovative proof of concept tilt-duct Aerial Reconfigurable Embedded System Demonstration ...

JOINT BASE LANGLEY-EUSTIS, Va. — Imagine a future where a UH-60 Blackhawk helicopter pilot, mid-flight, loses consciousness, and an onboard automated system reads the pilot’s vitals and autonomously ...
