Built this 3D-printed VTOL fixed-wing aircraft from scratch. The airframe is made from ABS/ASA, reinforced with carbon fiber, and powered by an F405 flight controller with GPS-assisted flight modes. Seeing a pile of parts turn into a flying aircraft is always worth the effort. 🚁➡️✈️

Flywing has developed the X-WING, a compact VTOL FPV aircraft that combines vertical takeoff with fast fixed-wing flight. It can take off vertically, hover, and switch to forward flight with a single command for smooth and stable performance. With long flight time and a foldable design, it blends the advantages of both drones and airplanes.

One of the first aircraft to use electrical flight controls with no mechanical linkages, the Balzac 001 was an experimental VTOL aircraft developed by Dassault in the early 1960s. Built as a technology demonstrator for the planned Mirage IIIV supersonic fighter, it was powered by eight Rolls-Royce RB.108 lift engines and a single Bristol Siddeley Orpheus turbojet. The aircraft achieved its first free flight in October 1962 and completed the first full transition from vertical takeoff to horizontal flight in March 1963 but was destroyed in an accident the following year.

The sequence of events in this flight simulator clip is incredibly satisfying to watch. It starts with a tight, precise turn, followed by reverse thrust to reposition the aircraft for departure. The oleos compress and rebound beautifully over the deck before the aircraft powers into a full-throttle takeoff from one of the shortest "runways" imaginable. ✈️⚓

Our hybrid-electric aircraft has reached a major milestone. Vertical takeoff, transition onto the wing, and sustained cruise. This aircraft has the potential to be more efficient than a helicopter and to cruise faster. It shares an airframe, avionics, and flight control system with our all-electric air taxi, demonstrating how different powertrains can be integrated into one VTOL platform. As we plan to welcome FAA pilots into our all-electric VTOL, this milestone underscores the rapid pace of development and the adaptability of our platform to meet evolving market demand.

DEADLY AIRCRAFT ICE!! This can take down an aircraft faster than you think, unless the aircraft is properly equipped. Visible moisture (clouds) + freezing temperature = ice. Especially in tops of cumulus clouds, even in the hot summer months. For us pilots I’m canada, winter, spring and fall offer lots of icy IFR flying to contend with. If your aircraft isn’t certified for flight in icing conditions, cancel the flight, and fly another day 🫡👨‍✈️👩‍✈️✈️ 📸 by ig/evan_lufty

Redundancy isn’t a backup plan. It’s the plan. During our Q1’25 operating and financial results call, Archer CTO, Tom Muniz, referenced this flight test from last year—Midnight flying smoothly with an engine out. With 12 electric motors, Midnight is designed to handle the unexpected. As detailed by Tom, this is a powerful demonstration of the “safety-by-design” approach that is core to our aircraft. Watch the test flight. See the benefits of our proprietary 12 tilt 6 design in action.

TRANSITION FLIGHT | Midnight has completed transition flight at a speed of 100+ MPH – taking off vertically, accelerating until it transitions from thrust-borne to wing-borne flight, cruising on the wing and then landing again vertically. Here are the key highlights from this milestone: ✈️ At ~6,500 lbs, Midnight is believed to be one of the largest eVTOL aircraft to complete transition, which is critical to being able to carry commercially viable passenger payloads 2️⃣ Archer has now achieved transition with two different full-scale eVTOL aircraft which is well known in the industry as a very difficult milestone few companies have reached 💨 Midnight’s flight test program will now continue its progress with plans to fly simulated commercial routes to demonstrate the aircraft’s operational readiness, executing high-rate flight operations, testing additional flight maneuvers that will be used in commercial settings along with continuing to expand its speed and endurance flight envelope Watch the full, uncut video of the flight here: Learn more here:

Staff Flight Test Engineer Simon Hedderman takes us inside the Archer telemetry trailer, the data center behind our flight test operations. While the pilot operates the aircraft, our team monitors from the telemetry trailer, gathering holistic aircraft data like engine temperatures, airspeed, and battery levels. Each part of the aircraft is represented, with members from the battery, engine, propellor, flight control systems, guidance navigation & controls, and flight test instrumentation teams gathering data and monitoring real-time performance during flight. This test data helps to validate aircraft performance across mission profiles, supporting safe flights and preparing us for public operations.

This is probably the best video of an aircraft parachute in action, but the story around how a pilot ended up landing 200miles from Hawaii over the pacific is just as interesting. This was a transoceanic ferry flight to deliver an aircraft to a customer in Hawaii.

‼️🇺🇸Meet the Aircraft That Transforms From Helicopter to Airplane The Bell Boeing V 22 Osprey is one of the most unusual aircraft ever built. It lifts off vertically like a large helicopter, rising straight from the ground without a runway. Then its powerful rotors rotate forward, transforming the aircraft into a fast flying plane. This unique design allows it to combine the vertical takeoff ability of a helicopter with the speed and range of an airplane. That is what makes the V 22 Osprey so valuable for long distance missions where normal helicopters would struggle. One aircraft. Two flight styles. Helicopter when it takes off. Airplane when it flies.

This could well be Indian aviation’s ‘goof-up’ of the decade. Air India Delhi-Vancouver flight recalled after flying for 4 hours. Pilot made to take a mid-air U-turn as the airline deployed an aircraft which had no clearance to fly into Canada. Passengers suffer on an 8-hour flight to nowhere. Airline’s faux pas and flyers’ ordeal on Quick Take with ＠HeenaGambhir

The L3Harris OA-1K Skyraider II currently with the 137th Special Operations Wing. The Skyraider II is a single-engine, fixed-wing aircraft designed for light attack and armed intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) for SOCOM. Introduced in 2025 by AFSOC, it's inspired by the legendary Douglas A-1 Skyraider (1946-1980s). It was developed from the Air Tractor AT-802, an American aircraft that is used for agriculture and firefighting and has been militarized in other programs. Equipped with 10 hard points, this versatile aircraft is able to carry a large combination of ordinance.

✈️ “Midnight” aircraft are built as flying data labs. Every flight is packed with sensors measuring hundreds of systems in real time validating safety, performance, and reliability as they push through the FAA certification process. The more data they collect now, the faster and safer these next-gen aircraft (likely eVTOLs) can get into the skies. The certification grind is real, but the future of air mobility is getting serious testing. Source: Archer

#Breaking 👉Air India B787 Aircraft VT-ANB, while operating flight AI-171 from (Ahmedabad to Gatwick) has crashed immediately after takeoff from Ahmedabad. 👉There were 242 people on board the aircraft, consisting of 2 pilots and 10 cabin crew. The aircraft was under the command of Capt Sumeet Sabharwal with First Officer Clive Kundar. 👉Capt Sumeet Sabharwal is an LTC with 8200 hours of experience. The copilot had 1100 hours of flying experience. 👉As per ATC, the aircraft departed from Ahmadabad at 1339 IST (0809 UTC) from runway 23. It gave a MAYDAY Call to ATC, but thereafter, no response was given by the aircraft to the calls made by ATC. 👉Aircraft immediately after departure from Runway 23, fell on the ground outside the airport perimeter. Heavy black smoke was seen coming from the accident site.
