CycloTech has completed its latest BlackBird summer flight tests after two years of development. Engineers successfully tested new flight maneuvers and confirmed that the simulations closely match real-world flight behavior. The results bring CycloTech’s six-CycloRotor technology closer to future highly maneuverable electric aircraft.

🚀 Breaking New Ground in Supersonic Flight! Carried by a Starfighters F-104 aircraft, last week GE Aerospace announced it has successfully completed supersonic captive carry flight tests of its ATLAS Flight Test Vehicle, marking a major milestone in advancing solid fuel ramjet (SFRJ) propulsion technology. 🌍✈️ The system reached supersonic speeds during three successful flights at Kennedy Space Center. This achievement showcases the potential of air-breathing propulsion to extend the range of munitions and paves the way for future high-speed systems. See more on how the team is continuing to evolve and grow the technology.

South Korea has successfully completed the first fully successful flight test of the KALCM Cheonryong (Korean Air-Launched Cruise Missile), which is expected to become the primary long-range strike weapon of the future KF-21 Boramae multirole fighter. On June 25, the missile was launched for the first time from an FA-50 light combat aircraft. After separation, it successfully ignited its main engine, stabilized its flight, and completed the entire test profile as planned. The successful flight comes after two unsuccessful attempts in January and March, when the missiles crashed into the sea due to failures in the ignition of the main propulsion engine following launch.

Austria-based startup CycloTech is developing flying aircraft powered by CycloRotor technology instead of traditional propellers. The company plans to build a four-seater air taxi with four CycloRotors, offering an 85 km range, 40 minutes of flight time, and a cruising speed of 150 km/h. Each CycloRotor uses rotating wings that continuously change their angle to generate thrust, allowing the aircraft to move precisely in any direction.

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:

This aircraft just checked off one of the toughest milestones on its path to aircraft carrier operations. 🚀 The U.S. Navy's MQ-25A Stingray successfully completed its second test flight, including its first-ever airborne landing gear cycles proving another critical piece of its autonomous flight system. Built to refuel carrier-based fighters without a pilot onboard, the MQ-25 is set to expand the striking range of the U.S. Navy's air wings and redefine how future carrier operations are conducted. The age of autonomous naval aviation isn't coming, it's already being tested.

‼️🚨First Sukhoi Superjet-100 without western parts made its first flight! -> Now Russia has own modern jets without western parts. Hence there’s a new competitor on the market! Detail: The Sukhoi Superjet 100 aircraft made its first flight, the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Russia reported. The import-substituting board took off ahead of schedule. The flight duration was 54 minutes, it took place at an altitude of up to 3 thousand meters and a speed of up to 343 km / h. During the tests, the specialists confirmed the stable operation of all domestic systems, the controllability and stability of the aircraft in the air. Russian developers implemented and installed their own design solutions and technologies on the aircraft. In December, the United Engine Corporation announced the start of flight tests of the PD-8 engine designed for a passenger airliner. Previously, the SSJ-100 aircraft had an engine of the joint Russian-European development SaM-146, but due to sanctions, its production stopped, so we had to create a completely domestic PD-8.

History has been made by Stratolaunch, a hypersonic flight test research company headquartered in Mojave, California. The fully autonomous Talon-A2, equipped with landing gear, has successfully exceeded speeds of Mach five and completed its second autonomous landing at Vandenburg Space Force Base. This mission documentary follows the first recovered flight of TA-2, the result of five years of effort and dedication marking a pivotal moment in sustainable hypersonic flight test for our country. Congratulations to the Stratolaunch team and partners on this success! Next steps: fly TA-2 again and again, increasing the cadence of hypersonic flight tests for the United States. Stay tuned as Stratolaunch prepares to fly and land TA-2 once more.
