Solar solution for stratospheric flight At Xponential
HALE (High Altitude Long Endurance) UAVs and HAPS (High Altitude Pseudo-Satellites) are massive aircraft, often with wingspans as large as a Boeing 747, that rely on solar power to remain aloft for multiple weeks, or even months, at a time. The stratosphere, at an altitude of 20km, poses engineering challenges to aircraft due to its harsh conditions.
WiFi 6 to demonstrate delivery of transformation for Industry 4.0
The Wireless Broadband Alliance, has announced the WiFi 6 Industrial Enterprise and IoT trial, as part of its ongoing WiFi 6 program. Mettis Aerospace, a designer and manufacturer of precision-forged, machined and sub-assembled components, primarily for the aerospace and defence industry, will work with WBA members to test several use cases on a WiFi 6 network.
Flexible shaft manufacturer provides custom design expertise
S.S. White Technologies highlights bespoke flexible shaft solutions for aerospace applications. Flexible shafts transmit rotary motion much like a solid shaft, but can be routed over, under and around obstacles where a solid shaft cannot be used. Flexible shafts are used in a variety of applications, including many capacities in aerospace, such as in Thrust Reverser Actuation Systems (TRAS), flap and slat systems, variable bleed valves, jet after...

How are aerospace OEMs surviving the price inflation squeeze?
Maturing generations tend to view price inflation as a symptom of the modern age. With a tear in their eye, they recall the days when a piece of rock candy was a few cents, and the most expensive car a wealthy individual could possibly afford was a fraction of what a Toyota Corolla costs today. By Dennis Menefee, President and CEO of Partstat.
Five trends that will shape the aerospace and defence industry
The global A&D business landscape is undergoing significant disruption driven by a keen focus on innovation and digital transformation, and geopolitical situations such as the unknown implications of Brexit. By:John Kenkel, Vice President of Aerospace and Defence at Cyient.
The future of EVs on show in Silicon Valley
Many new electric vehicles were on display at the IDTechEx Show on 14th-15th November in Santa Clara, California. However, that was the tip of the iceberg. The event had a hidden message - the future enabling technologies for electric vehicles (EVs), from buses to cars to mining vehicles.
Closing IT security gap to drive critical infrastructure spending
Critical infrastructures are radically transforming on an unprecedented scale, boosted by a rapid adoption of ‘smart’ operational technologies. Cyber security is a growing part of that evolution. ABI Research, a market-foresight advisory firm, forecasts security spending for the protection of critical infrastructures will hit $125bn globally by 2023.
Extended partnership to meet twenty-first century challenges
In order to meet the challenges of the twenty first century, Boeing has entered into an agreement with Siemens to expand its use of Siemens’ Mentor Graphics software as part of its Second Century Enterprise Systems (2CES) initiative to transform itself, and the aerospace industry.
