𝐄𝐱𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐃𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐩𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐀𝐢𝐫𝐜𝐫𝐚𝐟𝐭 𝐅𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐥 𝐒𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐬 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐭 As #aerospace technology continues to evolve, the Aircraft Flight Control Systems market stands at the forefront of innovation. With a commitment to safety, efficiency, and performance, this sector plays a pivotal role in shaping the future of aviation. The #aviation #sector is undergoing a change as a result of increased aircraft automation, which has emerged as a major growth driver for the aircraft flight control systems (FCS) market. Automation in aviation is the incorporation of cutting-edge systems and technology to support or take the place of human intervention in a variety of flight activities. The goal of improving aviation safety, efficiency, and dependability is what is driving this movement toward automation. The market for aircraft flight control systems (AFCS) has a lot of potential due to the development of next-generation aircraft. Advanced innovations, increased performance, improved safety measures, and increased fuel efficiency are characteristics of next-generation aircraft. These developments need for complex flight control systems to guarantee both safety and maximum performance while in flight. Consequently, the market for AFCS is expected to gain from the increasing need for creative flight control solutions.

The V-22 program office as is exploring the future of the tiltrotor aircraft, considering potential technology refreshes and life-extension plans. Col. Taylor summed it up: “I would love to see the V-22 stay in service for the next 100 years, but if there’s a better thing, then that’s up to the services.” What do you think the future of the V-22 will hold? Unmanned upgrades, retirement, or something else altogether? Read about it here: https://loom.ly/CjgIbOo #v22 #aviation #aerospace #hurricaneaerospacesolutions

Mayer, Jeffrey S. Brown, Shawn Cochran, Elizabeth Hastings Roer, Sydney Litterer, Richard Mason, Jim Mignano, Samantha McBirney, Carlos A. Villegas Sep 30, 2024 Agility Prime should lead acquisition and experimentation efforts to buy, lease, or acquire as a service a few of the most-capable eVTOL aircraft for small-scale operational use and live experiments. Agility Prime should sustain relationships with eVTOL companies to foster nonmonetary collaboration, particularly in pursuit of autonomous flight. Agility Prime should support government entities working on eVTOL Federal Aviation Administration certifications, air traffic control regulations, and pilot requirements. Agility Prime should broadly share knowledge about eVTOL supply chain risks to improve supply chain resource management for key inputs that are also critical for broader national security objectives. The Office of the Secretary of the Air Force for Acquisition and Air Force Futures should develop tools and processes to prepare for adoption of the next game-changing emerging commercial technologies, especially ones that do not immediately align with a capability gap.
