Sikorsky and Lockheed Martin’s decision to build a hybrid tilt-wing technology demonstrator is a significant step forward for eVTOL aircraft. We are in a unique position to say this, as Dufour ...

The core advantage of a tilt‑wing in hover is that the entire wing sits inside a powerful, uniform propeller slipstream. That slipstream acts like a wind‑tunnel moving with the aircraft, smoothing out ...

Lockheed Martin’s (NYSE:LMT) Sikorsky unit on Tuesday announced a plan to build a hybrid-electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft whose wings tilt at different stages of a flight. The maker of ...

Hybrid-electric aircraft developer Dufour Aerospace is aiming its proposed vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aircraft at pre-existing helicopter markets, hoping to leave competitors behind with a ...

In the 1960s, the US military pursued an ambitious idea that seemed closer to science fiction than aviation: a large cargo ...

The most famous autonomous tilt-wing aircraft coming from Switzerland arrived on American land. It didn't fly to its destination but was packed and delivered to the US drone operator Spright, which ...

Sikorsky, a Lockheed Martin company, unveiled Wednesday “its plan to build, test and fly a hybrid-electric vertical takeoff and landing demonstrator (HEX / VTOL) with a tilt-wing configuration,” ...

Aero2 is the autonomous hybrid-electric VTOL (vertical takeoff and landing) that comes from Switzerland, but that has already secured customers around the world. After years of developing and testing ...

US manufacturer Piasecki Aircraft has won a $37 million contract from the US Air Force’s innovation arm to demonstrate a new vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aircraft and new propulsion technology ...
