Airbus Helicopters is preparing to start flight testing with its Racer high-speed rotorcraft technology demonstrator in late March. Engineers at the company’s Marignane headquarters in France are now completing the installation and testing of all subsystems as they prepare to start the next phase of the program to define the configuration of a new-generation helicopter featuring rear-facing propellers in addition to a main rotor.

.@Lilium is making progress on its prototype: futureflight.aero/news-artic… This company's approach is so visibly different from other eVTOL companies. Check out the ducted fan engines on the wings rather than a handful of large props. #evtol #aviation #tech

I'm loving this photo of @Universal_H2 's hydrogen-powered Dash 8 flying over Mojave's enormous wind farm. They just kicked off a two-year flight test campaign at @MojaveAirport yesterday. futureflight.aero/news-artic…

It is cool to see @usairforce evaluating electric aircraft from Beta Technologies, Joby, Archer, and others. I'm curious to see how this develops. My @AINonline colleague @HannekeScience writes about it here: futureflight.aero/news-artic… #aviation #technology #evtol

Companies like @flyarcher promise certified air taxis flying in the next few years, and already have deals with established airlines like @united. Here's a recent @futureflightAIN interview we recorded with Archer's COO: youtu.be/Ao5XmGCBCkI #aviation #evtol #Aircraft
