Sikorsky’s “big bet” on the future of rotorcraft took an important step forward on May 22, when the S-97 Raider high-speed helicopter made its first flight.
Alaska Airlines is expected to conduct a biofuel-demonstration flight next year using alcohol-to-jet fuel produced from forest residues, through a project to use waste left over from logging and reduce the risk of wildfires in the Pacific Northwest. Gevo will convert cellulosic sugars from waste wood into renewable isobutanol using its fermentation process. The isobutanol will then be converted into alcohol-to-jet synthetic paraffinic kerosene (ATJ-SPK).
Flight testing of airborne sense-and-avoid technology for U.S. Air Force unmanned aircraft is set to transition from a Learjet manned surrogate to Northrop Grumman’s optionally piloted Firebird.
