Aurora Flight Sciences has been developing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for more than three decades. Aurora teamed with Stratasys to develop a notably complex 3D printed jet-powered UAV. Aurora Flight Sciences in Manassas, VA, has been developing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for both the civil and military markets for many years. However, with advancing customer needs and requirements, its research and development center is using Stratasys 3D printing technology more frequently for production parts and tooling to help bring new innovations to unmanned flight. Recently, engineers at Aurora and Stratasys embarked on an ambitious project: to build a jet-powered, thrust…

…with respected aerospace partners at Embraer, Bell Helicopter, Pipistrel, Aurora Flight Sciences and Mooney Aviation to construct the vehicles. Modern cars may be dangerous, but a dead battery or a broken rotor blade in a flying taxi would cause a heavy vehicle to fall onto a densely populated area. And we still don’t know whether such drones could be protected from hackers, terrorists, or other criminals, or how air traffic control systems might guide people safely. Drones will still have a transformative impact on how future populations live, do business, and interact. Small UAVs have already proven their potential across…

…announced its first five VTOL vehicle partners will be Aurora Flight Sciences, Pipistrel Aircraft, Embraer, Mooney, and Bell Helicopter. While these types of vertical take-off aircraft might sound similar to helicopters, Uber argues that the planes would have key advantages over helicopters: since they'll be electric, the planes would have zero emissions, and they'll be significantly less noisy than helicopters. “The Uber Elevate mission is all about low noise, high reliability, and low cost,” said Aurora CEO John Langford in a press release about the news. “We have already built and flown the first proof-of-concept aircraft and we’re excited to…
