A Drone Militaries Can Use to Seek and Destroy or Seek and Return
To Loiter or Not to Loiter, That Is the Munitions Question of the Day
Costa Mesa, California-based Anduril Industries has literally and figuratively launched its boomerang drone bomb. Equipped with an autonomous, artificial intelligence (AI) “brain,” the Roadrunner UAV is capable of taking down a moving target midair and destroying itself on impact. Should the mission not achieve its objective, Roadrunner will turn itself around and land itself nose-up…
UAM: If We Build It, Will You Come? Will You Pay?
It Depends.
The technology behind air taxis may be ahead of people’s willingness to use them.
What Is a Droneport?
Airport. √ Vertiport. √ Droneport? Stay tuned.

AI Has Come for Your Aircraft
Xwing President and CTO Maxime Gariel reveals how the aviator is unleashing AI technology to power up their aircraft
You may have noticed that our lives — our digital lives and, by extension, practically every aspect of our offline lives — are about to undergo a radical transformation not seen since the advent of the internet. That transformation is being powered by artificial intelligence (AI). AI is computers supercomputing and processing data faster and…
Vertiport, Vertiport, Wherefore Shall I Integrate You?
Using a GIS-Based Approach to Suss Out Suitable Vertiport Locations
Much of the discussion surrounding the integration of urban/advanced air mobility (UAM/AAM) has focused on how best to accommodate this new transportation mode into the National Air Space (NAS) of any given nation-state (such as the United States) or a supranational union of states (such as the European Union). But, to date, little consideration has…
eVTOL Batteries: Advanced Machine Learning for AAM
Delft University Researchers Provide UAM Operators a Prognostics Tool for Battery Life
If you use your mobile phone frequently, when the remaining battery life reaches 20%, the battery indicator icon in the upper right of the screen turns red. But if you’re operating your eVTOL the way many passenger-carrying operators expect to – lots of takeoffs and landings throughout the day, ferrying passengers from airports to downtown…
