Next Generation Air Dominance 'Fighter' Is Still Being Competed
Secretary of the Air Force Frank Kendall has said he expects a new sixth-generation manned stealth fighter-like jet that is being crafted as part of his service's Next Generation Air Dominance program, or NGAD, to follow a more traditional and potentially protracted development schedule. Kendall added that a previously proposed and questionably ambitious concept for acquiring new aircraft, focused on the relatively rapid development and purchase of smaller batches of highly adaptable designs, will not work in this case due to the highly complex nature of the design.

Maeve Aerospace has secured an investment of €3.4M for the development of its all-electric 44 passenger aircraft
Maeve Aerospace is developing a fully electric regional passenger aircraft seating 44 passengers and with a flight range of up to 550 km.
Up to this moment the company has worked hard at conducting an extensive feasibility study towards electric aviation. Building upon this, Maeve now has the financing to accelerate and start the developments of its aircraft.
Electric air travel eliminates CO2 and NOx emissions, is 40% quieter and therefore a concrete solution for emissions in the aviation sector.

[Video] D328eco program
In conjunction with the D328eco program, Deutsche Aircraft is developing a dedicated propulsion and energy flight test laboratory. This project will leverage the strength of an existing D328 airframe and enable flight test maturation of key technologies. These tests contribute directly to future commercial applications – and the path to zero emission regional air transport. This project is co-funded by BMWk and includes significant contributions from project partners.
The objectives of this project are:
- Support the German State and Federal strategic goals leading towards climate-neutral aviation.
- Work hand-in-hand with German industrial partners, universities and research institutions within the aviation industry to develop systems and technologies that enable climate-neutral aviation.
- Develop and mature CS25-relevant technologies to Technical Readiness Level 6. Specifically, by developing a modular flight test aircraft with initial focus on 1.5MW class electric propulsion systems, powered by an onboard LHFuel Cell System.
- Demonstrate operation and gather experimental data on low and zero emission ground and flight operation.
- Gain early and first-hand knowledge of airframe integration challenges to guide current and future aircraft design activities at Deutsche Aircraft.
- Build an in-house competence on emerging technologies. This will enable Deutsche Aircraft to be a smart buyer of future commercial systems, and de-risk technology selection and integration.

Vertical Flight Society Confronts FAA's Unwelcome U-turn on eVTOL Type Certification | FutureFlight
"The good news is that there is now an accepted means of certification for winged eVTOL aircraft, and the agency has publicly stated that it intends to support the aggressive timelines that the eVTOL companies have been working towards," said Hirschberg. "Now comes the hard part. It has often taken the agency a decade to create new rules. The FAA must now move at speeds it has seldom ever achieved in the past. If it fails, the U.S. will lose leadership in eVTOL, and the rest of the world will move forward without it, much like what happened in the drone industry two decades ago."
