I’ve been talking about flying taxis for 7.5 years now, and it’s mainly because of this @AvWeekGuy who I called up back in 2018 and asked if leaving Rolls-Royce for a startup was a good idea or not… fwiw, his advice was solid and he wasn’t wrong!

Just two months after engine integration, we’ve integrated the tail and wings on our Quarterhorse Mk 2 vehicle. The curvature of Mk 2's wings helps control shock formation across the wing and its control surfaces, stabilizing the aircraft's transition into supersonic. The tail,

Check out these never-before-seen landing photos from X-59's first flight! 👀

A few months back I took another career pivot. I enjoy working on projects that get things done fast — especially critical during the sunset phase of my career. @anduriltech

Anduril's YFQ-44A "Fury" prototype spotted today flight testing in Victorville, CA.

The X-59 has completed its first flight! 🎉✈️ A new era of supersonic flight begins with Skunk Works® and @NASA.

Say what you will about how long it took to build but this is the goofy look X-planes are supposed to have.

GO GO GO NASA X-59! First Flight!!!!!

Once you’re lucky, twice you’re good. Boom test pilots won the Iven C Kincheloe award—the highest honor a test pilot can receive—two years in a row. I believe this is a first.

Symphony engine development is on fire—and it's about to be, literally. Single-nozzle combustion testing rig is getting set up and will be turning kerosene into human progress in next few weeks. Thx to @GeorgiaTech for awesome support with a world-class combustion lab.

In Memoriam: Sergei Sikorsky, 1925 – 2025 Sergei’s love of aviation came from his father, Igor, who invented the first practical helicopter. Sergei created a lasting legacy of his own at Sikorsky and around the world. May he rest in peace.

Airbus Atlantic delivered from Montoir-de-Bretagne site the 1st fuselage sections for the #A350F 📦 and for the #A350-1000ULR 🦘 2for1

A couple of weeks back we flew our first back to back flights without charging in-between. We also happened to take some great photos of Marina in full bloom. $JOBY

Less than a week after Quarterhorse Mk 2 achieved weight on wheels we completed integration of the iconic Pratt & Whitney F100 engine. This is what it means to build fast. Next Up: Integrated systems testing.

2 x #B21 👀

X-59 out and about, taxi tests still probably? NASA859 - #ABC9F4 - N859NA

The second B-21 Raider has flown! #b21 #b21raider

I'm not sure how relevant the Harrier would be today ? Brilliant as the Harrier was ( even Bill Bedford said anyone can fly it - just has one extra lever the nozzles ).:) it needs a huge amount of back up to deploy into the field - still one of Britains greatest inventions

9 September 2006. First flight of the Boeing 747 Large Cargo Freighter or Dreamlifter. American wide-body cargo aircraft and the world's longest cargo loader. Constructed by extensive modifications to an existing Boeing 747-400.
