NASA’s Dragonfly rotorcraft will launch on a SpaceX Falcon Heavy in July 2028 and spend six and a half years crossing the solar system to land on a moon that has weather, seasons, rivers and seas — with methane and ethane flowing across its surface instead of water.

Let's not get too excited people - this is just a mockup!
Anduril +Archer Aviation unveil "Thunder", an autonomous tiltrotor "loyal wingman" designed to fly alongside crewed attack helicopters (AH-64 Apache, MV-75 Cheyenne II).
Mission doctrine = autonomous "escort-wingman", a teaming concept were Thunder flies along side and takes on the parts of a mission most likely to get a helicopter crew killed. https://www.techradar.com/pro/andruil-unveils-autonomous-attack-rotorcraft-could-thunder-be-the-future-of-warfare-as-we-know-it #Aircraft #Helicopter #Military #Andruil #ArcherAviation #Thunder #RotorCraft #Wingman #TiltRotor #AutonomousAircraft #ML

NASA Testing Supersonic Rotors for Mars
NASA’s Ingenuity helicopter was the first aircraft humanity has flown on another planet, and engineers are looking to make the next generation of Martian helicopters bigger and more capable. That’s challenging in Mars‘ thin atmosphere, which is only 1% as dense as Earth’s. To get adequate lift, the rotors need to spin faster there.
During Ingenuity’s mission, the team intentionally designed the craft to keep the rotor tips below supersonic speeds. But for the next mission–SkyFall–they’re looking to push the rotorcraft further. In recent tests in a Mars simulator chamber, they successfully spun the new rotors to tip speeds as high as Mach 1.08, significantly increasing the loads SkyFall could carry.
