Crisalion Mobility se asocia con Volatus Infrastructure & Energy Solutions

VI&E Solutions y Crisalion Mobility se asocian para analizar y desarrollar proyectos de movilidad



Madrid, 22 de mayo de 2024 — Crisalion Mobility, compañía española de referencia en el diseño y desarrollo de soluciones de movilidad eléctrica avanzada eficiente, segura y sostenible, se asocia con Volatus Infrastructure & Energy Solutions para desarrollar y analizar conjuntamente proyectos de movilidad aérea avanzada que incluyan el transporte de mercancías, los servicios médicos de emergencia, la movilidad aérea urbana, la movilidad aérea regional y el turismo.



Los equipos estudiarán los aspectos necesarios para el éxito y la eficacia de las operaciones de la eVTOL Integrity de Crisalion Mobility en los vertipuertos de VI&E Solutions para mejorar aún más la eficacia y la seguridad de las operaciones de movilidad aérea avanzada.



«Estamos encantados de trabajar con Crisalion para poder analizar y estudiar los puntos de encuentro entre su eVTOL Integrity y nuestros sistemas de vertipuertos y también para desarrollar estrategias con el fin de minimizar el impacto medioambiental y superar los estándares de sostenibilidad para reducir aún más nuestra huella medioambiental», señaló Grant Fisk, consejero delegado de VI&E Solutions.



«Estamos muy orgullosos de comenzar esta alianza en Estados Unidos con un socio clave en el mundo de los vertipuertos y las infraestructuras que nos acompañará en la implantación de nuestras soluciones eVTOL. La nueva movilidad representa un ecosistema en el que participarán muchos actores, y para nosotros es un privilegio trabajar con Volatus», indicó, por su parte, Óscar Lara, director de operaciones de Crisalion Mobility.

The Heron TP RPAS Produced by UAV PEO at the Directorate of Defense Research & Development at the IMoD and Israel Aerospace Industries Has Made Its Maiden Flight Over Germany

The German Heron TP (GHTP), produced by UAV PEO at the Directorate of Defense, Research and Development at the IMoD and Israel Aerospace Industries, has today (15.5.2024) flown in German airspace for the first time. The Remotely Piloted Aircraft System (RPAS) was customized for the unique requirements of the German Ministry of Defence, as part of a joint venture between IAI, Israel's Ministry of Defense's Directorate of Defense Research and Development (DDR&D), and Airbus.

 The close cooperation between Airbus, IAI, DDR&D and the German Armed Forces, ensured development of a RPAS which exhibits both advanced performance and operational readiness while also providing the German Armed Forces with additional capabilities. The flight was conducted in the presence of the senior representatives from the German Air Force, the DDR&D at the Israeli Ministry of Defense, Airbus and, IAI. This historic event is an important step towards reaching full operational capability.

Airbus: Innovative aviation liquid hydrogen project launched

The GOLIAT (Ground Operations of LIquid hydrogen AircrafT) project will receive funding of €10.8 million from the EU's Horizon Europe Framework Programme, over a duration of four years, and will demonstrate how high-flow liquid hydrogen (LH2) handling and refuelling technologies can be developed and used safely and reliably for airport operations.

The GOLIAT consortium consists of 10 partners from eight countries: Airbus (France, Germany, UK), Chart Industries (Czech Republic, Italy), TU Delft (Netherlands), Leibniz University Hannover (Germany), Royal Schiphol Group (Netherlands), Rotterdam The Hague Airport (Netherlands), Vinci Airports (France, Portugal), Stuttgart Airport (Germany), H2FLY (Germany), and Budapest Airport (Hungary).

The group will support the aviation industry's adoption of LH2 transportation and energy storage solutions by:

• Developing and demonstrating LH2 refuelling technologies scaled-up for future large commercial aircraft;
• Demonstrating small-scale LH2 aircraft ground operations at airports;
• Developing the standardisation and certification framework for future LH2 operations;
• Assessing the sizing and economics of the hydrogen value chains for airports.
• As a clean and efficient fuel, LH2 offers a promising solution for reducing the greenhouse gas emissions associated with airport operations and their dependence on fossil fuels. LH2's high energy density enables long-range travel for aircraft, yet there are many steps to the widespread deployment of hydrogen at airports, including the need to better understand the operational, regulatory, economic and safety impacts, as well as the capacity and performance of technologies.

Eurodrone Programme successfully performs Preliminary Design Review (PDR)

The MALE RPAS Programme, aka Eurodrone, has successfully performed the Preliminary Design Review (PDR). Led by Airbus Defence and Space as prime contractor, this major programme milestone has been completed with OCCAR (Organisation for Joint Armament Co-operation) and representatives of the four customer nations (France, Germany, Italy and Spain) in the presence of the three Major Sub-Contractors (MSC), Airbus Defence and Space Spain, Dassault Aviation and Leonardo.

The PDR proves that the initial design of the aircraft has consistently maturated, paving the way to proceed with the detailed design. It is the outcome of different technical assessments and evaluations conducted, such as Wind Tunnel Testing to confirm the aerodynamic configuration of Eurodrone, the overall design to ensure demonstration of operational capability, and the validation of a fully representative Digital Twin. From the very beginning, the '#Eurodrone programme benefits from both design philosophies – physical and digital.
