Experimental Aircraft

California-based Universal Hydrogen has opened a new engineering design center in Toulouse, France.

At the very core of the EAA AirVenture convention, airshow, and aviation family reunion is the experimental/amateur-built (E/AB) community, as thousands of attendees show up via the FISK arrival in airplanes they built themselves. Others come to the annual show to learn about building an E/AB airplane and shop for everything from parts to complete […]

Engineers offer details on Archer Aviation’s electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) demonstrator.

Building a kit airplane may be easier and less expensive than you think.

Autopilot and magnetometer capabilities aim to lighten workload for pilots of experimental aircraft.

Stratolaunch’s Roc, the world’s largest airplane, made its fourth test flight Thursday over California’s Mojave Air and Space Port with a mission of fully operating all landing gear in flight for the first time.

The Fédération Aéronautique Internationale verifies the experimental flight-development vehicle broke two world speed records for electric airplanes.

Stratolaunch’s Roc—the biggest airplane in the world—returned to the sky Sunday, making its first test flight in more than eight months.

The third test flight for Stratolaunch’s Roc was its most productive yet.

The pilot, 40, was an instrument flight instructor and held a commercial certificate, with airplane single-engine and multiengine land ratings and an instrument rating. He had something over 1,400 hours and made his living giving flight instruction. His logbook displayed the required endorsement for “training stall awareness, spin entry, spins and spin-recovery procedures.” He mostly […]
