Canada's New Drone Regulations

What the new drone regulations mean for you and your drone operations.

In search of the best sustainable fuels for climate-compatible aviation

As part of the EU's PACIFIC project, DLR is testing promising sustainable aviation fuels for their potential to reduce the sector's climate impact.

The cost of climate-neutral aviation in the future

Flight ticket prices could rise by 50 percent if aviation is made climate-neutral. This is an estimate from a new study by researchers at ETH Zurich. It is based in particular on the use of synthetic fuels.

Team makes sustainable aviation fuel additive from recycled polystyrene

A new study overcomes a key challenge to switching commercial aircraft in the U.S. from their near-total reliance on fossil fuels to more sustainable aviation fuels.

Scared of Turbulence? AI -Might- Fix That

In this episode, we explore how AI can help aerial vehicles adjust to extreme turbulence in real-time and enhance safety/stability, even in challenging driving conditions.

Bird wings inspire new approach to flight safety

Taking inspiration from bird feathers, Princeton engineers have found that adding rows of flaps to a remote-controlled aircraft’s wings improves flight performance and helps prevent stalling, a condition that can jeopardize a plane’s ability to stay aloft.

AI-Trained Vehicles Can Adjust to Extreme Turbulence on the Fly

In nature, flying animals sense coming changes in their surroundings, including the onset of sudden turbulence, and quickly adjust to stay safe. Engineers who design aircraft would like to give their vehicles the same ability to predict incoming disturbances and respond appropriately.
