Beautiful! I noticed the rear props were still running at 100mph. What was the reason for that? Did this flight have a crew on board?

Over the past few months, our Midnight program has consistently delivered strong results. We're now routinely flying longer, faster & higher as we expand the aircraft’s operational envelope. Recent flights have exceeded 55 miles, more than 30 minutes of flight time, altitudes up to our 10,000-foot service ceiling, and speeds in excess of 150 miles per hour. These missions are providing valuable certification data, while closely mirroring the majority of mission profiles we expect in early urban deployment environments. Our next flight test phase with Midnight will be piloted VTOL, including full transition flights with our type certification intent four-blade aft propellers. Unlike the CTOL envelope that we are now close to completing testing on, the VTOL and transition flight regimes are not new for Midnight, as we have previously completed an extensive flight test campaign with Midnight without a pilot onboard. Our progression from non-piloted VTOL to piloted CTOL to piloted VTOL & CTOL campaigns is optimized for safety and disciplined execution that builds our readiness for commercial operations. The momentum continues to grow, and the team continues to deliver.

PILOT-ON-BOARD TRANSITION | We’ve reached a critical milestone on our path to commercializing the Joby aircraft: flying through transition with a pilot onboard. And then we did it six more times in the past week, with three different Joby pilots experiencing transition flight onboard the aircraft. Combining the flexibility of vertical take-off with efficient cruise flight is a unique capability that we first demonstrated in 2017, and hundreds upon hundreds of times since. This milestone — the result of thousands of hours of careful, diligent testing — represents a significant step forward for our aircraft certification program, and for our industry. Read more:

Midnight’s controls are innovative and simple, using two side sticks to control altitude, speed, and direction during flight. Think of it like manual vs automatic in cars. Because Midnight is fly-by-wire, software translates the pilot's movements with the sticks to automatically transition between flight modes, smoothly speed up or slow down, and hold the aircraft's position, airspeed, and direction. This allows pilots to focus more on the flight, not the mechanics of commanding several different control surfaces all at once.

We’ve entered the next phase of our flight test program, showcasing piloted Midnight flight, as well as CTOL capabilities. The piloted flight featured a conventional take-off and landing (CTOL) demonstrating the robustness of Midnight’s landing gear which is capable of performing both vertical and conventional take-off and landing operations. Through our design and certification process, our team, government regulators and our customers, both civil and defense, have identified the importance of being able to conduct both vertical and conventional take-off and landing as part of normal operation of the aircraft as having CTOL capabilities in addition to VTOL provides operational flexibility and enhanced safety. Watch the full flight as Midnight cruises at speeds of up to 125 mph and reaches a maximum altitude of over 1,500 feet above ground level with Archer Chief Test Pilot, Jeff Greenwood, at the controls.

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.

🚨🇨🇳 PENTAGON IN PANIC: CHINA FLIES HEAVY DRONE WITH 1,900-KM RANGE AND VERTICAL TAKEOFF China’s 1.5-tonne Qizhi-5 heavy tiltrotor UAV completed an autonomous flight test at the Chuzhou test base on August 1, performing vertical takeoff, hover, transition into forward flight, manoeuvring and landing without requiring a runway. 🔸 The aircraft is designed to combine helicopter-style access with fixed-wing performance. Its stated specifications include a top speed of 450 km/h, a 300 kg payload and a maximum range of 1,900 km. 🔸 Power comes from the domestically developed CS35 modular turboshaft engine, rated at 350 kW. Its modular architecture is intended to simplify maintenance and allow the engine to support multiple aircraft types. 🔸 The most important part of the test was the autonomous transition between vertical and forward flight. During this phase, lift shifts from the rotors to the wings while the aircraft’s aerodynamics, controls and power demands change rapidly. 🔸 Completing the full sequence demonstrated that the airframe, propulsion system and flight-control software can operate together through the aircraft’s most technically demanding flight mode. 🔸 The developers say the programme has mastered six major areas: overall configuration, transmission, rotor design, flight control, structural engineering and aeroacoustic noise reduction. 🔸 Qizhi-5 is being promoted for cargo transport, surveillance, emergency response and other low-altitude operations. The same runway-independent design also offers clear value for military logistics, reconnaissance and operations from dispersed sites. The Qizhi-5 can lift vertically from a confined area and then travel at aircraft speeds across distances normally associated with fixed-wing drones. That combination gives China access to locations where conventional UAVs still need a runway. Which Qizhi-5 advantage matters most: vertical takeoff, 300 kg payload, 450 km/h speed or 1,900 km range?
