Facebook may have snapped up some of those who helped create Qinetiq’s Zephyr solar-powered high-altitude unmanned aircraft, but most of the team that built and flew the record-setting UAV now works for Airbus Defense & Space, developing an improved version of the ultra-long-endurance air vehicle. The former EADS Astrium acquired the assets of the Zephyr program from the U.K.’s Qinetiq in March 2013 to form the basis of the spacecraft manufacturer’s High-Altitude Pseudo-Satellite (HAPS) program.
Beechcraft T-6 Texan II turboprop trainers operated by the U.S. Air Force, Navy and Army are to be upgraded to allow continued unrestricted flight within the modernized U.S. national airspace system being implemented by the FAA under its NextGen program. As a precursor to a procurement program, the T-6 National Airspace Compliance team plans industry-day briefings to solicit ideas from potential bidders at NAS Whiting Field, Fla., on April 22-24. The upgrade would allow T-6s to fly through 2025.
Key members of the team that developed and flew Qinetiq’s record-setting Zephyr solar-powered high-altitude, long-endurance unmanned aircraft have joined Facebook’s project to deliver basic Internet services to everyone around the world.
