#NASA's '1st #nuclear powered interplanetary #spacecraft' will send Skyfall #helicopters to #Mars in 2028
NASA will launch the #SpaceReactor1 Freedom to Mars before the end of 2028, demonstrating advanced nuclear electric #propulsion in #deepspace. Nuclear electric propulsion provides an extraordinary capability for efficient mass transport in deep space and enables high power missions beyond Jupiter where solar arrays are not effective.

I loved growing up at the Grange Fair and Encampment in Centre Hall.

There’s been a lot of intense discussion this past week regarding #eVTOL #aircraft vs. #helicopters. Can’t we all just get along?! Coincidentally, that’s the underlying theme of my latest article for The Air Current, which explores whether there should be separate #FAA advisory circulars for eVTOL #vertiports and #heliports. “Probably not” is the answer that a growing number of eVTOL and #helicopter players seem to agree on. #aviation https://theaircurrent.com/aviation-policy/momentum-builds-against-standalone-evtol-vertiport-standards/

While #eVTOL aircraft will not replace #helicopters, they can bring new capabilities to emergency medical services (EMS): https://www.airmedandrescue.com/latest/long-read/industry-voice-transforming-emergency-medical-services-evtols. 🚁 #aircraft #aviation #engineering #verticalflight #vertiports #vtols

The safety guidebook Helicopter Rotor Downwash: Preventing the Adverse Effects of Rotor Downwash is now available in English: https://www.ecologie.gouv.fr/sites/default/files/guidance_material_helicopter_downwash.pdf. This guidance document provides a lot of good information as well as lessons learned and best practices "from the field to the field" on the risks associated with the rotor downwash hitting the ground. 🚁

#eVTOLs are not going to "whisk people": https://apnews.com/article/insider-joeben-bevirt-joby-aviation-97a051ba488c31dd3d5042b2daeff722. Or at least no more, no less than existing #helicopters & small airplanes. Electric air taxis are not Jetson's flying cars. These #aircraft will be subject to rules & regulations set for ensuring safe, secure & sustainable operations. 🚁 #aviation #evtols #mobility #verticalflight #vertiports #vtols

Un petit rappel à la communauté aéronautique francophone :
🚁 #VTOL = aéronef à décollage et atterrissage verticaux (ADAV)
🛩 #STOL = aéronef à décollage et atterrissage courts (ADAC)
🔋 #eVTOL = ADAV électrique
ℹ️ Hélicoptères ⊂ ADAV. Mais la réciproque est fausse.#aircraft #aviation #engineering #francophonie #helicopters #VerticalFlight
