The Wingman is a fighter-type drone that will be commanded by a pilot in a current combat aircraft such as the Eurofighter and can take on high-risk mission tasks that would pose a bigger threat to manned-only aircraft.

It will monitor on a global scale the distribution of atmospheric trace gases and aerosols in Earth’s atmosphere.

The satellite will examine the role clouds and aerosols play in reflecting solar radiation back into space as well as in trapping infrared radiation emitted from the Earth’s surface.

Launch of a new technological demonstrator to accelerate the maturation of superconducting technologies for use in electric propulsion systems of a future hydrogen-powered aircraft.

Vigil will provide more accurate warning of impending solar storms to help protect satellites in space and electronics on Earth.

An innovative aviation hydrogen handling and refuelling project led by Airbus.

Airbus has launched the Pléiades Neo Next programme to expand its very high resolution Earth observation constellation.

This important milestone launches the flight campaign which will take two years and will aim to progressively open the aircraft’s flight envelope and demonstrate its high speed capabilities.

GRACE-FO will carry on the extremely successful work of its predecessor while testing a new technology designed to dramatically improve the already remarkable precision of its measurement system.

Airbus has unveiled its full electric CityAirbus NextGen prototype, set to launch its maiden flight later this year. The two-tonne class CityAirbus, with a 12-metre wing span, is designed for 80 km range and 120 km/h cruise speed, making it ideal for major city operations.
