Gol Linhas (GOL) inks a deal with aircraft lessor Avolon and investor Grupo Comporte to buy or lease 250 VA-X4 eVTOL air taxis for Brazil.
In 2019, the company became Honeywell's first eVTOL customer, buying their fly-by-wire aircraft control systems for a future Vertical Aerospace aircraft, the VA-X4. [10] Further in 2019 they launched their second aircraft, VA-X2, making them the first company in the world to release flight footage of an electric VTOL aircraft capable of ...
First aircraft to break the sound barrier in level flight. Proved aerodynamic viability of thin wing sections. [10] X-1A X-1B X-1C X-1D: Bell USAF, NACA 1951 High-speed and high-altitude flight X-1E: Bell USAF, NACA 1955 High-speed and high-altitude flight X-2: Bell USAF 1952 High-speed and high-altitude flight First aircraft to exceed Mach 3.

The entire wing (tilt-wing) can pivot to or just the rotors (tilt-rotor). The Archer Maker, [30] Lilium Jet, Joby S4, [31] Vertical Aerospace VA-X4, and Zuri 2.0 [32] are tilt-rotor craft. The AMSL Aero Vertiia uses a hybrid that pivots the rotor-holding part of its otherwise fixed box wing design. [33]
A fleet of electric air taxis is set to take off over Sao Paulo by 2025 after a deal between Brazilian airline Gol Linhas Aereas Inteligentes and Irish lessor Avolon to buy or lease 250 of the ...

The X-44 was designed by Lockheed Martin to demonstrate the feasibility of an aircraft controlled by vectored thrust alone. The X-44 design had a reduced radar signature (due to lack of tail and vertical stabilizers) and was made more efficient by eliminating the tail and rudder surfaces, and instead using thrust vectors to provide yaw, pitch ...
