First Time F-35C Conducts Missions With Other Aircraft
Aviation Week was invited to observe the first time the U.S. Navy F-35C conducted operational testing on an aircraft carrier. The test period began Aug. 22 and includes six F-35Cs and 30-40 F/A-18E/F Super Hornets. The service selected the USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72) for OT-1 and the aircraft carrier is operating somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean. Test results will help the service determine if the aircraft is ready to achieve initial operational capability in 2019.

Aviation Week Flies With The U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds
Aviation Week’s Pentagon Editor Lara Seligman flew in the backseat of U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds F-16 Sept. 13 for an up-close-and-personal look at the Thunderbirds’ show routine. "We got a little dizzy doing a quadruple aileron roll, flew upside-down during the inverted-to-inverted pass, pushed through the intense, high-G “max-turn half Cuban eight,” and more," said Lara.
Watch as Lara joins Thunderbird Number 7 Lt. Col. Kevin Walsh, a career F-16 pilot, as he runs through the Thunderbirds’ best-known maneuvers one-by-one in the skies over the eastern United States. This is Walsh's last year with the Thunderbirds - next up he is hoping to become squadron commander at Osan AFB, Korea.

Chinese drone maker EHang’s Autonomous Air Taxi
A year after wowing crowds at the CES consumer electronics show in Las Vegas with its concept for a single-passenger autonomous air taxi, Chinese drone maker EHang is reporting progress in ground and flight testing of the large multi-rotor vertical-takeoff-and-landing (VTOL) vehicle.
The company says it is on its third generations of propeller, electric motor, electronic speed controller and battery for the EHang 184, which has eight sets of motors and props mounted in upper/lower pairs at the ends of four arms.
EHang is also developing its own flight controller system and algorithms for stable and effective control of a large multi-rotor aircraft with high inertial and load. A third version with increased reliability, security and accuracy is under development.
A video released by EHang shows the 184 in unmanned flight testing, but it is not confirmed the vehicle shown is full scale. The aircraft is seen performing takeoff-and-landing, maneuvering, vertical climb, attitude and night flying tests.
EHang says it has conducted testing in the hover, in stable flight at fixed height and location, and has “achieved some success in point-to-point flight tests.” The next step is autonomous test flights carrying a load and using a 4G network for command and control.
The video also shows a ground command center, a prototype of the facility that will dispatch aircraft and monitor them in real time, communicating with passengers in normal and emergency operations. EHang says it has run trial operations in 2016.
777X folding wingtip
