에어버스 여객 드론, 익사이팅한 '시험 비행' 완료 VIDEO: Watch Airbus' radical autonomous flying taxi complete its 'most exciting' test yet, as Vahana craft edges closer to readiness


Watch Airbus' radical autonomous flying taxi complete its 'most exciting' test yet, as Vahana craft edges closer to readiness



Airbus' Vahana project completed first full transition flight on May 3, firm says

In the test, it lifted off vertically and switched to horizontal flight at over 100mph

It then slowed down to land vertically, marking a critical milestone in flight tests

Vahana has been working to get single-seater craft production ready by 2020




 

에어버스 여객 드론, 익사이팅한 '시험 비행' 완료


   에어버스가 개발한 급진전형 여객 드론이 5월 3일 첫 완전 전환 비행을 완료해 연착륙을 위해 속도를 늦추기 전에 수직으로 이륙해 시속 100마일 이상으로 가속하는 능력을 입증했다.


에어버스의 혁신적 조직 하에 이 우주선을 되살리기 위해 노력하는 프로젝트인 바하나(Vahana)는 이번 주 이룩한 놀라운 장면을 공유했다.


이 실험은 바하나의 66번째 비행을 기록했다.

에어버스는 2020년까지 1인승 드론을 생산할 계획이다.

A radical electric passenger drone developed by Airbus has completed its first full transition flight, proving its ability to take off vertically and accelerate to over 100 miles per hour before slowing down for a soft landing.


Vahana, the project working to bring the craft to life under Airbus’s innovation arm, shared incredible footage of the accomplishment this week.


The test marked Vahana’s 66th flight, a number it has since surpassed by more than a dozen.

A radical electric passenger drone developed by Airbus has completed its first full transition flight, proving its ability to take off vertically and accelerate to nearly 100 miles per hour before slowing down for a soft landing


In a blog post announcing the milestone, Vahana’s Zach Lovering said the test ‘represents everything we set out to achieve when we began our flight test campaign.’




The successful full transition flight was performed on May 3 in Oregon.


‘In the video, you’ll see Vahana take off vertically and then accelerate forward, much like in other videos we’ve shared,’ Lovering explains.

‘This time, however, Vahana’s wing and canard rotate to the full cruise configuration as the aircraft speeds up to 90 knots (over 100 mph).


A prototype of the electric unmanned air taxi is displayed at Paris Air Show, in Le Bourget, east of Paris, France, Tuesday, June 18, 2019




‘Once the vehicle reaches cruising speed, the transition is complete and the vehicle begins to decelerate preparing for its descent and skids down!’
