There are many startups racing to build #eVTOL aircraft and get them into commercial service, but established aerospace manufacturers like Embraer seem to be taking a slow but steady approach: https://lnkd.in/ggTvydmJ #aviation #technology

#TalanxPurposeStories – Episode 2: Polaris    In our second episode, we visit POLARIS Spaceplanes, a company insured by HDI Global Specialty SE: The German aerospace startup aims to revolutionise aerospace by developing a novel reusable space launch and hypersonic transport system that works like an aircraft. The spaceplane combines aircraft and rocket launcher technologies in a unique design. It can operate like an aircraft from airports and does not require a launch pad with complex and expensive infrastructure. At the company's site in Bremen, Germany, Polaris engineers and technicians are building a series of full-scale flight demonstrators that represent the geometry of the future spaceplane. By 2028, a so-called light spaceplane shall be able to carry satellites weighing up to 1,000 kilograms into orbit, as well as payloads up to ten times that weight on suborbital or hypersonic flights. The so-called heavy spaceplane is expected to be operational in the early 2030s. It shall be able to carry heavier payloads into space as well as passengers. Polaris started in 2020 with a 2.5 metre long demonstrator. The “Mira” demonstrator shown in the video is almost twice as long and is the first to use rocket engine, which has already been successfully tested on flat ground. The final spaceplane, which is the focus of the Polaris vision, will be around 30 metres long. Flight testings of the demonstrators take place at Peenemünde airport on the German Baltic coast. Each test is a challenge, involving complex logistics - from organising transport and obtaining regulatory approvals, to airspace closures and last-minute weather disruptions. And this is where our purpose comes in: such aircraft may not be operated in Germany without third party liability insurance, which is required by law. As a partner in transformation, HDI Global Specialty is working closely with Polaris to develop tailor-made insurance cover for the individual development stages of the flight demonstrators. "Together we take care of the unexpected and foster entrepreneurship." We live our purpose every day and everywhere. Thanks to Alexander Kopp, Ralph Beutter and Christopher Braun for sharing this exciting insight with us!   #TalanxPurposeStories #PartnerInTransformation #Purpose #Talanx #HDI

This demo is so awesome in so many ways -- kudos to Caleb Olson for developing the Poopcopter https://lnkd.in/dxVshnUW

Certification tests versus adverse environments represent one of the most interesting parts of the development lyfe cycle of an Aircraft. It is unbelievable how robust is the design of new Aircrafts and Helicopters.

AvioCast is already flying on over 100 aircraft, and we couldn’t be prouder! But once you have access to data from the aircraft, what can you do with it? As an integral part of the #AvioBook ecosystem, #AvioCast helps you leverage that data to optimize your operations. One of our latest developments is the AvioCast Instruments which increases pilots' #situationalawareness. #Pilots can now select a variety of AvioBook Globe parameters to gain a deeper understanding of what’s happening around them. From the active waypoint and nearest suitable airport to ground speed, our interactive module provides pilots with the information they need to make better-informed decisions. Contact us to learn more about AvioCast, AvioBook Globe, or the entire AvioBook suite—and discover how we can support your operations. #futureofflying
