Expanded vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) flight operations by AIR, after receiving certification from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)

Woodward Inc, a leading company in aerospace actuators, is set to build a precision manufacturing facility in Greer, South Carolina, as part of its expansion in the industry.

Meanwhile, in the realm of clean technology, HyFlux, in collaboration with the University of Sheffield Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC), is developing a cryogenic cooling system for hydrogen-electric aircraft. This system is designed specifically for hydrogen-electric aircraft and is part of the broader advancement in clean aviation.

In other news, AIR, a leading OEM for midsize eVTOLs, has received FAA Experimental Airworthiness Certification for its US-based eVTOL prototype. This certification marks a significant milestone for AIR, as it allows for flight testing at its facility near West Palm Beach, Florida, and is a crucial step in the company's US expansion. The all-electric eVTOL aircraft can operate from any flat surface, offering a versatile and efficient solution for both personal and commercial needs.

AIR's eVTOL platform enables both a piloted two-seater for personal use and an uncrewed version for commercial cargo and contested logistics. The aircraft has a flight time of up to one hour per charge, a 550-pound payload capacity, and a top speed of 155mph (250km/h). AIR is poised to be the first eVTOL aircraft to receive Light Sport Aircraft (LSA) certification, thanks to its ability to meet new rigorous standards set by the FAA's recent MOSAIC ruling.

The certification and flight testing in Florida represent an important phase for AIR as it expands its flight program within US airspace. The company is working closely with the FAA to ensure that its eVTOL aircraft meet the highest safety and regulatory standards, with the goal of safely integrating electric aviation into the airspace.

In the world of aerospace engineering, Boeing has launched its new Engineering Center within the Cici & Hyatt Brown Center for Aerospace Technology at Embry‐Riddle Aeronautical University's Research Park.

Orbex, another player in the industry, has successfully completed its first full simulation of the Prime vehicle launch.

Lastly, the September edition of a popular aviation magazine is being published, offering readers insights into the latest developments in the industry. The collaboration between HyFlux and the University of Sheffield AMRC is aiming to create a novel solution for sustainable aviation.

These advancements underscore the ongoing innovation and progress in the fields of aerospace and clean technology. As these industries continue to evolve, we can expect to see more exciting developments in the near future.
