Our flight test engineering team sees aviation history in the making every day. Now, their mission is evolving. Following years of experimental flight testing and rigorous data analysis, we're proudly taking our aircraft through the final phase of the certification process—Type Inspection Authorization (TIA). This allows us to work alongside the FAA to demonstrate the hardware and software we have spent more than a decade engineering. Watch the full story of our pioneering flight test team on the YouTube link below ⬇️

A recap of what the ADS-B data from Azerbaijan Airlines flight #J28243 tells about the flight path and what partial data sent after the aircraft was subject to GPS interference allows us to infer about its probable path across the Caspian Sea.

A quick update from our Flight Test Operations team: we're proud to share that our electric air taxi flight test program has now surpassed 3,000 total sorties and 3,500 inhabited miles, roughly the distance from New York to London. Every sortie and every inhabited mile is critical data on the path to passenger service.

Envelope expansion isn't just about going higher and faster for an X-plane like NASA's quiet supersonic X-59. It's also about understanding how a one-of-a-kind aircraft operates in flight. With each maneuver, engineers collect data and learn more about the aircraft's performance. Learn more about the X-59's most recent flight test maneuvers here:

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.

Literally shaking! Behind the scenes of a special test 🚀 Earlier this year, Redshift, our third stage, completed a full vibration test campaign in flight configuration! Unlike isolated component checks, this was the real deal: all systems integrated and tested under simulated launch conditions. Because launch is no gentle ride. Everything must endure intense vibrations and still perform flawlessly. The result? Electronic connections remained strong, the systems (including antennas, telemetry, flight computer, navigation systems) stayed up and running, and we obtained valuable data to further refine and improve. Enjoy this glimpse of Team Redshift and their work behind the scenes, turning challenges into progress, one test at a time!

To validate the design of the "Mirage IIIV" VTOL fighter, a demonstrator named Balzac V was built in 1962. It was equipped with innovations such as Dassault's first electric flight controls and the use of telemetry to communicate flight data in real time with the ground.

During a test flight over the Pacific off the coast of California, a Boeing 717 entered an intentional stall and rolled inverted. The maneuver was unplanned, but the test crew responded immediately, regaining control by reducing engine thrust and deploying speed brakes, ultimately recovering the aircraft.

✈️ “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

3.22.24. XB-1 takes flight. Today, Boom’s supersonic demonstrator aircraft, XB-1 safely and successfully executed its first flight at the Mojave Air and Space Port in Mojave, CA., flown by XB-1 Chief Test Pilot Bill “Doc” Shoemaker. Test Pilot Tristan “Geppetto” Brandenburg flew the T-38 chase aircraft which monitored XB-1 in the air. Two decades after Concorde’s retirement, the first flight of XB-1 marks the return of a civil supersonic aircraft to the skies and paves the way for the revival of mainstream supersonic travel onboard Overture, Boom’s sustainable supersonic airliner. Read more on XB-1's milestone first flight here:

Our flight test team found everything is bigger in Texas, including the wind. #TeamBoeing navigated strong crosswinds in Midland, Texas, to validate the 737-10’s autoland system, designed to land the airplane safely in low visibility and challenging wind conditions. Flight test, engineering, meteorology and ground support teams spent months planning to execute these flights to gather needed data to establish operational limits for the airlines. Learn more about the test and how it is key to earning certification:

The people of Mwihoko in Kiambu County made away with the black box of the AMREF plane that crashed yesterday. For starters, the black box is the most survivable part of the aircraft, which investigators use to reconstruct the events that lead up to a plane crash. The black box is made up of the cockpit voice recorder and the flight data recorder. The cockpit voice recorder collects radio transmissions and sounds such as the pilot’s voices and engine noises, as well as listens to conversations between the pilots and crew and communications with air traffic control. While the flight data recorder monitors a plane’s altitude, airspeed and heading

“The speed is alive.” ⚡️ As we continue to advance our flight test program, we started the year the way we know best: fly, learn, repeat. January by the numbers: 61 flights across our test fleet + critical data gathered on loads, stability & performance. Behind every vertical takeoff is a team pushing the envelope and validating the system. This is how we build the future.

Here’s the static fire video! This all-up test was really a hop mission simulation and included everything from flight avionics, power systems, computers, GNC, RCS, tank pressurization, and, of course, the engine and heat shield. The only thing we simulated was the position data, which was derived in real time from engine data. Simulating the position gave us the opportunity to inject dispersions, such as a persistent roll, which you can see the badass RCS fighting hard to correct. Huge success across the board!
