To minimize the impact of any design changes resulting from flight test, “our strategy has been to wait until we were past 80% through certification, to make sure we have a mature aircraft before ramping up,” says Rob Dewar, vice president and general manager for C Series.
Team developing V-280 Valor advanced tiltrotor for U.S. Army’s mid-2030s Future Vertical Lift rotorcraft is using a full-scale cockpit mock-up to define concepts for an advanced cockpit.
While unmanned aircraft have received bad press for forcing firefighters to halt aerial operations when one is sighted, unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) are widely regarded as potentially powerful tools for fighting wildfires that are becoming increasingly destructive as urban development expands into unoccupied land.
