Innovative Ground Control Stations for eVTOL Flights Demonstrated in Austria
Key Ideas
- Honeywell and Frequentis showcased advanced ground control stations supporting eVTOL flights in Austria.
- Bombardier experienced a rise in deliveries and service revenues in Q2 2024 despite supply chain challenges, mainly with engines.
- A UK-based team successfully concluded 5G infrastructure flight trials, led by SPL for developing airborne antennas.
- H3 Dynamics will supply hydrogen fuel cells for Lyte VTOL aircraft and install hydrogen electrolyzers at airports for fuel production.
Honeywell and Frequentis collaborated to demonstrate ground control stations for electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) flights in Austria in June. This initiative showcases innovation in aviation technology. Despite facing supply chain obstacles, Bombardier witnessed an increase in deliveries and service revenues in the second quarter of 2024. Meanwhile, a UK team, with SPL at the helm, has achieved success in conducting 5G infrastructure flight trials, focusing on airborne antennas development. Additionally, H3 Dynamics is set to provide hydrogen fuel cells for the Lyte VTOL aircraft. They will also work on installing hydrogen electrolyzers at airports to enable on-site production of the fuel, highlighting a shift towards sustainable aviation solutions.
