In 2009, as Aurora developed small vertical take-off UAVs known as the Aurora Goldeneye, the third variant of this family, the GoldenEye-80, was first flown publicly at Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International's Unmanned Systems North America trade show. On 5 October 2017, Boeing announced that it would acquire Aurora Flight Sciences.
Lockheed Martin's design for Advanced Composite Cargo Aircraft (ACCA) was chosen over Aurora Flight Sciences' design based on the Antonov An-72 in 2007. [1] The aircraft is powered by two Pratt & Whitney Canada PW306B turbofans. [2] The X-55 design is based on the existing Fairchild Dornier 328JET.
The December flight was the 18th for the Orion, logging 158 total flight hours. Aurora hoped the flight would convince the Air Force to procure the Orion for persistent surveillance, and the company looked at several other roles including a communications relay and to compete against the MQ-4C Triton naval recon UAV.

The Aurora D8, also known as the D8 Airliner, is an airliner concept under development as of mid 2017. [2] The project was initiated in 2008 by Aurora Flight Sciences , the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Pratt & Whitney under NASA 's sponsorship of $2.9 million (£2.19 million).
Spanning 1,092 feet long — three times the length of a football field — Nimitz-class warships are the largest aircraft carriers.
The Aurora XV-24 LightningStrike is an experimental unmanned aerial vehicle created by Aurora Flight Sciences and partners Rolls-Royce and Honeywell. It was developed for the Vertical Take-Off and Landing Experimental Aircraft program. [1]
Aurora Flight Sciences embarked on the development of an experimental X-plane, as part of the DARPA's CRANE programme, in November 2020. Wind tunnel testing was also conducted in San Diego, California, in May 2022. DARPA allocated funds for the detailed engineering design of a full-scale X-plane in December 2022.
