Maeve is partnering with Pratt & Whitney Canada to design the M80 hybrid-electric 80-seater regional aircraft. The M80 aims to deliver the performance of a jet with the cost efficiency of a turboprop, boasting a range of up to 1,200 nautical miles (2,222 kilometers). The developers aim to reduce fuel consumption and emissions by up to 40% compared to benchmark regional jets, while maintaining comparable speeds and altitudes. Maeve targets entry into service by 2032. Pratt & Whitney Canada, a Raytheon Technologies company, brings over four decades of experience in providing propulsion solutions to the regional aviation market. Anthony Rossi, Vice President of Global Sales and Marketing at Pratt & Whitney Canada, commented, “Reaching the ambitious goals of reducing emissions and making aviation more sustainable will depend on combined efforts to accelerate technology innovation and drive collaboration across our industry. It’s in this spirit that we will collaborate with Maeve, leveraging our growing expertise in sustainable propulsion technologies.” Martin Nuesseler, Chief Technology Officer at Maeve, added, “As a clean sheet design, the performance and efficiency of the Maeve M80 will be a game changer for the regional aviation market, combining advanced aerodynamics and a disruptive propulsion technology. Working together with Pratt & Whitney Canada at this stage of the program will enable us to validate and optimize the design of the aircraft and hybrid-electric propulsion system, tapping into the full potential of this promising new technology.” Read the full update on our blog. #AvfoilNews #Maeve #PrattAndWhitneyCanada #HybridElectricAircraft #SustainableAviation #AviationInnovation #M80Aircraft #RegionalAviation #GreenAviation #FutureOfFlight #AerospaceTechnology #RaytheonTechnologies #CleanSheetDesign #EmissionReduction #AviationPartnership

XTI Aerospace, Inc. has announced a business update and the filing of its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2024. “We continue to advance the development of the TriFan 600, a fixed-wing, vertical lift crossover aircraft uniquely designed to meet the needs of the evolving aviation industry and its customers,” said Scott Pomeroy, CEO of XTI Aerospace. “In the second quarter, XTI Aerospace and AVX AIRCRAFT COMPANY (“AVX”), a leader in advanced vertical lift solutions, announced the signing of a letter of intent, and are currently progressing towards a definitive agreement, whereby AVX’s experienced engineers will provide design, development and certification services to XTI Aerospace, reducing overall commercialization costs and potentially accelerating the timeline to first flight.” Donald C. Purdy, SVP business and program development, added: “XTI Aircraft continues to progress the TriFan 600 design. Specifically, the team is focused on the C211.2 configuration update which will further optimize the aerodynamic performance of the aircraft. Also, XTI Aerospace and AVX, under an interim engineering services agreement, are collaborating on several ‘trade studies,’ such as the use of full digital control of actuators to direct the aircraft – known as ‘fly-by-wire’ – and the use of composite materials versus aluminum for various aircraft structures and surfaces. These trade studies will further refine the revolutionary design of the TriFan 600 – a category-defining aircraft.” “In the second quarter, XTI Aerospace also announced conditional preorders for 100 TriFan 600 aircraft from Mesa Air Group,” said Pomeroy. “Assuming the order is fully exercised, it would represent approximately $1 billion in revenue for XTI Aerospace, validating the interest and support we are witnessing in the market. Additionally, XTI Aerospace executed a capital distribution agreement with FC Imperial Limited for a proposed strategic equity investment of up to $55 million at a post-money valuation of $275 million, following more than one year of negotiations and due diligence. The time to commercialization of the TriFan 600 would be advanced upon closing of this transaction.” Read the full text on our blog - https://lnkd.in/gqx-jpgn #AvfoilNews #XTIAerospace #TriFan600 #VerticalLift #AviationInnovation #AdvancedAirMobility #AviationTechnology #FlyByWire #CompositeMaterials #AircraftDevelopment #AerospaceEngineering #SustainableAviation #AviationMilestones #BusinessUpdate #AviationNews

Exploring the Engineering Behind Bucket-Type Thrust Reversers ??? In the world of aviation, every component plays a critical role in ensuring the safety, efficiency, and performance of an aircraft. One such essential component is the *bucket-type thrust reverser*. Often seen on older jet engines, this ingenious design redirects engine exhaust forward, helping the aircraft decelerate after landing. By deploying the "bucket" doors, which pivot to form a barrier behind the engine, the reverse thrust slows the aircraft, reducing the reliance on wheel brakes and shortening the landing distance. While modern jetliners often use other types of thrust reversers, the bucket-type remains a testament to the innovation that has shaped aerospace technology over the decades. ?? What are your thoughts on how engineering innovations like this continue to impact the aviation industry today? #Aviation #Aerospace #Engineering #ThrustReversers #AircraftTech

An essential element of large aircraft engineering, the reverse thrust capability!

Design of the C-17 enables it to operate in extreme conditions plus Its ability to carry massive payloads—up to 170,900 pounds. The T-tail configuration represents a sophisticated solution to multiple aerospace engineering challenges. By strategically positioning the horizontal stabilizer above the wing’s turbulent airflow, engineers created an aircraft with exceptional capabilities. https://lnkd.in/e8vSfvMf

?? New Article Alert! ?? I am proud to share my latest piece on FlightGlobal about the need to rethink aerospace business models for a sustainable future. With rapid technological advancements and mounting pressure to reduce emissions, the next generation of commercial aircraft may have a shorter lifespan than their predecessors. With a heavy reliance on years of aftermarket revenues, supply chains will need to rethink traditional business models to stay competitive and innovative. This article follows up on my piece for?Aviation Week Network: "Commercial Aerospace No Longer A Place For Small Suppliers" (link in the comments). A big thanks to industry experts like Tom WILLIAMS, David Farkas, Jean-Philippe Benoit, Jeremie Bach, Gary T., and many others for their invaluable input.
