Theorem Solutions CEO Stuart Thurlby believes augmented, mixed and virtual reality will change the way heavy vehicles are engineered and manufactured, as low-cost handheld devices become more commonplace.
Uber announced a partnership with Aurora Flight Sciences to develop electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft for its Uber Elevate Network. Aurora’s eVTOL concept is derived from its existing XV-24A LightningStrike VTOL X-Plane subscale vehicle demonstrator aircraft.
Dozens of attempts by VTOL aircraft designers have been made to increase top speed without sacrificing range, efficiency, or the ability to do useful work, “with each effort struggling or failing in one way or another.”
In December, Aurora Flight Sciences conducted a successful demonstration of the company's autonomous helicopter system at the U.S. Marine Corps Quantico Urban Training Center. The aircraft, developed under the Office of Naval Research's Autonomous Aerial Cargo Utility System (AACUS) program, was an AACUS-enabled UH-1H.
