How & Why Did On-Condition Aircraft Maintenance Begin?
Airplanes play a significant role in making flying the safest medium of travel. Operators expect their aircraft to fly safely with minimal or no incidents caused by mechanical failure. With hundreds of moving parts and highly-complex mechanisms, airplanes require routine inspection and maintenance.
Meet The Airbus Bird Of Prey Concept - To Inspire The Next Generation Of Aircraft Engineers
Unveiled in 2019, Airbus put out a concept for an airliner that was bird-like in its design. However, the manufacturer had stated at the time that its work on the concept wasn't to seriously bring such an aircraft to market. Rather, its goal was to motivate the next generation of aeronautical engineers to think 'outside the box,' with the application of various advanced technologies. Let's revisit this concept and look closer at what Airbus was trying to do.

Rolls-Royce and easyJet today confirmed they have set a new aviation milestone with the world’s first run of a modern aero engine on hydrogen.
The ground test was conducted on an early concept demonstrator using green hydrogen created by wind and tidal power. It marks a major step towards proving that hydrogen could be a zero carbon aviation fuel of the future and is a key proof point in the decarbonisation strategies of both Rolls-Royce and easyJet.
The test took place at an outdoor test facility at MoD Boscombe Down, UK, using a converted Rolls-Royce AE 2100-A regional aircraft engine. Green hydrogen for the tests was supplied by EMEC (European Marine Energy Centre), generated using renewable energy at their hydrogen production and tidal test facility on Eday in the Orkney Islands, UK.
