The electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft developer’s SkyDrive Model SD-05 multicopter has achieved a speed of 100 km per hour, a level the maker calls “a viable speed for the commercialization of short hop inter-urban air mobility.”

The monthly United States Helicopter Safety Team (USHST) report covers various metrics, including average fatal-accident rates for the past five years.

More than 50 speakers, panelists, and moderators will share their insights on advanced air mobility (AAM) and electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft developments, propulsion, infrastructure, AI, regulations, certification, operations, and more at this year’s show. The event takes place Jul. 18–19 at the University of Wisconsin–Oshkosh campus.

Metro Aviation, through a collaboration with Austin, Texas–based engineering firm Tejas Advanced Solutions, has delivered a highly customized, mission-ready Airbus H125 to the Texas Department of Public Safety (TXDPS) Aircraft Operations Division.

A maintenance release says the work is done. It doesn’t say the aircraft is ready to fly. That gap is where accidents happen. WYVERN’s newest safety resource, the “Post-Maintenance Flight Check Guidance Document,” is designed to give operators a practical framework for making smarter, safer return-to-service decisions.

The aviation-specific platform is engineered to match operators with vetted software and consulting providers across more than 60 solution categories and over 60 providers.

As the United States approaches its 250th birthday July 4, the FAA is commemorating the country’s aviation heroes and heritage by highlighting significant milestones in American aviation history.
