Flight Test

It’s a momentous occasion for SpaceX as both Starship and the Super Heavy booster successfully splashed down back on Earth.

Starliner’s crew flight test (CFT) is the first time the capsule has carried humans and is intended to be its final mission before NASA moves to certify it for service.

The semireusable space capsule has a new launch target after yet another issue postponed its first crewed flight to Wednesday at the earliest.

Musk’s timeline would place Starship’s fourth orbital test flight sometime in June, but SpaceX will need to wait for the FAA to wrap up its investigation.

A former contractor of Boeing valve supplier Aerojet Rocketdyne is urging the space agency to “redouble” safety checks before attempting another launch.

The space agency and manufacturer are now targeting a launch no earlier than 6:16 p.m. EDT on Friday, May 17.

The X-62A VISTA, a modified F-16 testbed aircraft, is helping the Air Force explore artificial intelligence applications in combat aircraft.

The test flight marks a key milestone for the manufacturer, which is looking to certify its electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) design in the U.S. by 2026.

As the French OEM and logistics giant reflects on 2023, it restructures for growth amid challenges faced by the global aerospace industry.

The electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) design from Archer Aviation is making ‘rapid progress’ in development, the manufacturer said.
