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

The FAA today announced a proposed update to its air carrier definition to include powered-lift operations: https://www.faa.gov/newsroom/notice-proposed-rulemaking-air-carrier-definitions
It's mostly an administrative change, but necessary to enable winged #eVTOL and #tiltrotor (i.e. AW609) aircraft to be used in commercial operations.
