The world’s largest electric aircraft took to the skies for the first time — the flight cost just $5 US company Heart Aerospace has flown its full-scale electric aircraft X1 for the first time — the largest all-electric aircraft ever to take flight. The test flight lasted 27 minutes, with the aircraft reaching an altitude of 335 meters. The electricity used for the entire flight cost around $5. The X1 was built to test technologies for a future 30-seat hybrid-electric aircraft.

Meet Horizon Aircraft’s Cavorite X7, the world’s first aircraft to use a fan-in-wing design for stable flight. It has 14 fans built into its wings that let it take off and land vertically like a helicopter. After takeoff, the fans are covered and it switches to fast forward flight using a hybrid-electric system.

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:

🚀 India just made space history. Skyroot Aerospace’s Vikram-1 successfully reached orbit on its very first orbital launch attempt from ISRO’s Satish Dhawan Space Centre. Think about how difficult that is. Most new orbital rockets don’t make it on their maiden flight. Skyroot just went from development to orbit on attempt #1. And this isn’t just a win for Skyroot. 🇮🇳 India is now the 3rd country in the world. after the United States and China, to have a private company successfully demonstrate orbital launch capability. Vikram-1 reached an orbit of roughly 450 km and completed its mission in under 20 minutes. A privately developed Indian rocket, designed and built in India, reaching orbit on its first try. That’s a massive milestone for India’s private space industry. The era of Indian private spaceflight has officially arrived. 🇮🇳🚀
